    Summary

    Rebecca would never know what made her look back. Even years later when she thinks back on that night—the fire, the smoke, the love of her life disappearing back into the flames—she can’t explain it. But she could feel it. Something intangible. Like a mother’s intuition, a lover’s worry, or that strange bond that existed between twins like Kevin and Kate. Whatever it was, that inexplicable feeling of wrongness wrapped itself around Rebecca and would not let go. So without reason, and despite the cruel intentions fate may have had in store for the Pearson family that night, Rebecca looked back. And that made all the difference.

    *UPDATE APRIL 2024* This ongoing story is dedicated to the writer's father who was taken too soon, much like the aforementioned character. Hug your loved ones while you can. Fiction may bring them back, but broken hearts are not easily mended. God bless.

    Summary

    His uncle sounds distracted, but there’s no background noise, so he can’t be at the diner. There’s a little ball of pressure accumulating on his breastbone, so he decides to cut to the chase.
    “Is everything-“
    “Liz is pregnant.”
    And just like that, the little ball transforms into lead and it drops to his gut. He blinks, he tries to take a breath. It’s not going very well. A few seconds must go by, because he hears Luke’s voice call out his name a couple of times.
    “I’m here.” He calls. His voice sounds hoarse. He stares at his wall. There’s a crack on the white paint. It runs down to the floor. He should probably fix that at some point.
    Back when he was a kid, he doesn’t remember ever having white spotless walls.

    Or,
    Liz is pregnant. Jess doesn’t know how he feels about it, until he does. Luke is there to pick up the pieces.
