I Don't Need This Right Now
Thirty Three
“Have you got anything from Zack?” Jack asks Alex. “Nope. I think after that fight that him and Rian got into over the phone really won’t bring him back home any sooner.” Alex sighs. “I don’t know. I just wish that Zack would just come back. Rian hasn’t been doing well with Zack being gone. His parent’s are stressed with Zack being gone and Zack’s sister having a baby.” “I don’t think anybody needs this right now. There’s so much stress between everybody just because of Zack. We haven’t had a real actual conversation with Rian since he blew up at you a while ago. Rian and Zack just had a fight and Zack’s family isn’t a good place for him right now.” Alex says. “Yeah, but I mean, he doesn’t have to cut off all connection from us. We’re all worried sick. What if something happened to him? We wouldn’t know.” “Whatever, but still, if he isn’t here before this baby is born I will kill him.” “Don’t we have to schedule your eight month checkup soon?” Jack asks. “Yeah,god dammit. It keeps kicking and kicking.” “Maybe this one will grow up to be a soccer player.” “Jack, shut up.” “What?” “You’re stupid. Shut. Up.” “If they grow up and they become a soccer player-” “No, Jack, just shut up.”

“So, you’re about eight months now, so you have another, three or four weeks until this baby is born.” Jack and Alex look at each other with excited looks. “You guys excited?” “That is an understatement.” Jack smiles. “Well, you two ready to be parents?” “We got everything set up. We put the crib up, we put up the changing table. Everything.” “Well you guys are good to go.”
“I seriously feel like we’re forgetting something.” Alex says as hes its in the middle of he nursery. “What? What are we forgetting? We have bottles, a crib, a changing table, diapers, wipes, bibs, clothes, a car seat. What else do we need?” Jack asks. “Fuck, we need a bath!” “Are you serious? Just put it in the sink or something.” Jack says. “We can’t do that until it can sit up. We need to get one. Like now.” “Why?” “Because I guarantee you that we’ll both forget.”
They make a late night dash to Babies “R” Us. “Okay Alex, hurry up, they’re closing soon.” Jack says. “Okay okay! Seesh.” Alex grabs one off of the shelf and hands it to Jack. “Why do I have to carry this?” Jack whines “Because I’m carrying your baby now shut up.”
