Summary
You’re the security guard known for bullying Robby into eating lunch and stopping Myrna from escaping. You aren't the girl who gets the guy. But one debate about Market Garden changes the landscape. Suddenly, Jack is on your couch and arguing about D-Day.It’s all platonic until the "Cabal" gets involved. Dana knows too much, Samira is planning the wedding, and poor Whitaker is begging to be excluded. But when Jack stumbles upon your secret plan to become a single mother via a sperm donor
"So" You swallowed hard."You want to be my donor?"
Jack’s face scrunching up, as if he had just stepped in something disgusting."I didn't say 'donor.'"
“Yes, you did!”
"I meant the father," Jack grumbled, dragging a hand through his curls. "And I certainly didn't mean I want to go into a sterile little room with a plastic cup and a sticky copy of a magazine from 1998 while a nurse scowls at me."
Your brain screeched to a halt."Wait," you whispered, the realization hitting you."You mean..."
"I mean the traditional way," Jack said, his voice rough, his gaze dropping to your lips for a fraction of a second before snapping back to your eyes. "No cups. No doctors. Just... us.”
