Well I finally got around to writing some more and here comes complication number 3. Enjoy! :)

Chapter 15

Slowly Martha turned away, tears pouring down her face as she walked towards her car. She had only intended to spend a few moments on the beach to calm herself before her appointment but seeing Alex and Jack there hadn’t had the desired effect. In fact, if anything she was more stressed than she had been before. For the millionth time in her life she asked herself just how life had been become so complicated. How had it become so terrible that it wasn’t really worth living anymore? Martha sighed through her tears and started up the car, dreading the answer that the appointment would bring.

********************

Jack looked back up the beach and saw Martha walk away, immediately feeling guilty, even though he had done nothing wrong. Noticing his distraction, Alex looked at him and turned his face gently with her hand so that he was looking at her.

“Obviously, something’s the matter, do you want to talk about it?” she asked softly. Jack looked at her, appreciating the fact that she was there for him.

“I think I just need to go for walk to clear my head, can we meet up later at the surf club?” asked Jack. Alex smiled.

“Sure.” She replied “I’ll meet you there at 7:00.” With that she turned around and started to walk away, shaking her hair to get some of the water out of it.

********************

Martha walked into the hospital and the stark air of the place didn’t do anything to make her feel better. Going up to the reception desk she met Rachel.

“Hey!” Rachel said, smiling. “I’m all ready so you can come through now.” Martha followed her quietly. They walked into a room that appeared to be an office.

“Sit down.” said Rachel, gesturing to one of the chairs. Once they were both seated comfortably she started talking.

“Well, I got your results back.” She said as Martha took a sharp intake of breath.

“And they clearly show that you are indeed pregnant. Congratulations!” Rachel beamed but quickly stopped when Martha burst into tears.

********************

Walking along the beach, Jack was trying hard to work out his feelings. At the moment he was just too confused over what he felt for Alex and also for Martha. His head was telling him that Alex was definitely the right choice. After all she was attractive, funny, kind and Jack really did like her. The only problem was that his heart was telling him something else. But in all honesty, he knew there was no chance with Martha. Every time he had tried to help her she had pushed him away, and although Jack wasn’t selfish, he wasn’t prepared to put himself through the heartache that pursuing her would cause.
