I'm so thrown and I don't know what to do (For Jack)

Hayley sat in her apartment staring at the six sticks spread out on her bathroom counter. Every single one was telling her the same thing and she had absolutely no idea how that was possible. Rebekah's words came back to haunt her, and she twitched away from them.

That wasn't possible.

One was, and she'd been a bit fretful for a couple of weeks, waiting for her period, which hadn't come and was what had prompted the drugstore run, the artifacts of which were now spread out in front of her. That didn't explain the moon, no, but maybe that was just a coincidence.

What was troubling, though, was...it was a little early. Granted, her periods had never been all that regular. And a couple of weeks before the full moon, she'd bled--true, only a little, but she didn't tend to have heavy ones, either, so. That, actually made it more likely she had been fertile with Jack and not using the condom was...a mistake.

That still made it...just a bit over two weeks. The test shouldn't really be able to work, yet, but she'd been a little freaked by the lack of a period. Decided to see. She'd been tired, achy, throwing up. Thought she had the stomach flu. But the tenderness in her breasts...well, she'd put that down to her period in New Orleans.

Which had to have been it, right? Just a confluence of coincidences and...okay, so the test was picking it up a little early, but. Well. Jack was from the future, right? Maybe that had something to do with it.

Please, God, let that have something to do with it.

Swallowing back the nerves, she knew she had to find out, so she wrapped one of the digital tests that read the most clearly in a paper towel, stuck it in her pocket, and headed downstairs to his apartment. Fidgeting at the door for a moment or two, she finally made herself knock and hoped he was there.

"Great." He sounded really enthused by that. Then realized it and sort of forced a smile. Sort of. He still looked like he was on the verge of either a panic attack or throwing up, but he was pulling it back together. Sort of. A little. "Make an appointment with a doctor. It'll make you feel better."

Jack wasn't coming right out with saying it, but there was no way on earth he was parenting a kid. Or getting near one, if he could help it. Blaine was a little young for his comfort, to be honest. But... didn't mean he wasn't reasonably nice to her. "Let me know what you find out."

"We live in the same building, Hayley," he pointed out, with some weary amusement. "Let me know what you find out, when you find it out. Let me know if you need anything." She was new. She had no support system. They barely knew each other, but he could be at least quasi-decent, regardless. Or, well, try.

He stood up when she did, and walked her to the door. He looked worried but also - yeah, a lot going on in his head, and on an emotional level. He was really emotional, even by human standards. "All right," he agreed. "Thanks."
