In a perfect world, there would be no conflict. There would be no no disease and no war. There would be no crime, no hatred, no hurt. There would be no aging and no death. There would be no love, no feelings, no regrets. There would be no room for improvement and no wishes to be made. In a perfect world, there would be no perfect dreams. And although he held perfection in his arms each night, he couldn't help but to dream of much more. He would fall asleep to the thoughts of a healthy Skylar, or a happy Natalie. Sometimes his dreams would be egocentric and he'd imagine owning his own house, or being able to afford steep assets. Never once though, would he dream of the inevitable. He never would dream of having a child, much less the burdens that would come with it. And sometimes he'd force the thoughts into his mind and lay awake wondering how things would have to change to welcome this existance.
Having been incapable of falling asleep due to these thoughts the night before, Jack had managed to pack in a few extra hours of rest the following morning. He had been legitimately bothered when his mother came in at quarter to noon and harassed him until he finally snapped at her to "Get out, because I don't have any fucking pants on!" Miffed, Leah had left without a word, shaking her head ever so slightly and muttering things under her breath. He had managed to jadedly stand and pull on some boxers before Natalie came pounding on his door, broadcasting, "Hey loser, we're eighteen now... Come out of your fucking room." Jack didn't respond, he was immensely confused for a moment. He could of sworn that it was still March. But, after he ran it through his head for a little bit, he realized that it was in fact April 25th. Natalie was right, it was their birthday, their eighteenth birthday. And rather than looking forward to this milestone in his life, he felt downright stressed. He ran his finger through his long, wavy hair that had grown quite rapidly in the past month and now hung barely past his shoulders. With a shake of his head, he walked into the bathroom and immediately grabbed his medication from the cabinet. After swallowing two pills, he turned on the shower, checking the temperature before stepping in.

Sam walked into the bathroom and smiled. "Well it's about damn time you got up," she said.

"It's like twelve..." Jack told her, rolling his eyes slightly, "This is early for a Wednesday."

"Why?" Jack asked her, pushing aside the curtain and looking at her.

"'Cause when the baby comes I don't wanna be the only one getting up," Sam told him simply.

"Well... Occasionally I'd get up with you when you'd wake up at seven in the morning to puke..." Jack pointed out, smiling slightly as he said, "Come here..."

"Well yeah," Sam said, stepping closer to him. "Otherwise I would've puked on you."

"It's my birthday, Babe..." Jack told her, leaning against the wall, "It's required that I see you naked today..."

"I-I... No... I just... Fine..." she sighed, pulling off her shirt.
