The Swap - Second Chances: Second Chances (7 page)

Will and Jenna sat in the Pickens living room that evening. Jenna kept eyeing Darnell to determine when would be an appropriate time. Before the meeting Macy had texted Will about it.

This is it I believe. Come expecting to hear a confession.

Will glanced at Macy as she widened her eyes as they waited for the small talk to subside. Jenna noted the exchange between the two and started wondering then if they had a thing going on too.

"What's up?" Will asked looking at Jenna and Darnell. Macy came to sit closer to Will. She kept a pleasant look on her face.

"I'm sure you all have suspected this," Darnell started to say.

"First, Will, please forgive me. I never intended to hurt you. This just happened..." Jenna said and stifled a cry.

Darnell put his hand out for Jenna to stop. He took a deep breath and looked Will and Macy in the eye. "Jenna's pregnant. I'm the father. We've been having an affair for months. We want to come together with you two to come to an amicable resolution here. Macy, I'm sorry. You deserve better than this," Darnell said.

"Pregnant?" Macy asked as she stared straight ahead and then looked Darnell and Jenna in the eye.

"I'm sorry Will," Jenna said looking at her husband who just sat there. "Macy, I'm sorry. You've been nothing but nice to me..."

Will sat up with a grave look on his face. "Yeah, I figured as much. I didn't realize you'd get knocked up though. I have to say I'm disappointed in both of you," Will said looking from Jenna to Darnell.

"Well, obviously this means we need to do something here. I want to be a part of my baby's life so we need to come to some sort of agreement," Darnell said.

"So what Darnell? What do you want? You gather us here to tell us in group fashion you two have been cheating on us. Are you saying it's over with our marriages?" Macy asked her eyes pinned on Darnell.

Darnell just looked at the floor and nodded slightly. "I guess, I'm not sure. Do you want to stay in a marriage knowing I impregnated another woman and then told you about it?"

"What the fuck man, who are you in love with here? Out with it," Will said with great aggravation in his voice.

"Look it's not as simple as that. I love my wife, I do. I love Jenna. This just happened. We, Jenna and I, we want to be together. I don't know how else to say it other than to just out with it as you say. I'm trying to be cordial. This is a tough situation," Darnell said.

"Of your own making," Will said.

"Okay, okay, stop, everyone please. Will, I'm sorry. I should have told you before Darnell and I ever got together. I didn't. I got caught up in it. I love Darnell. I love you but I've loved Darnell forever. We made a baby. This changes things. I suppose you could say this is a meeting with me asking you for a divorce," Jenna said.

Macy turned to Darnell. "And I suppose you're asking for one as well?"

Darnell looked down, guilty for his intentions. "Yes, Macy. We asked everyone here at the same time because this affects all four of us. This isn't a pleasant situation."

"You think?" Macy said. She cut her eyes quickly to Will then back to Darnell. "Look, Will and I have suspected this for some time. We thought about confronting you earlier but we didn't have concrete proof."

Jenna raised her eyebrows at Will and sighed. "Hind sight is twenty-twenty. If I could go back and redo how I did this I would. It got out of control. Will, I'm so sorry."

"Are you? Why couldn't you have set me free before now?" Will said as he hit his closed fist on his legs.

"Yes I am," Jenna said as the tears sprung free. Darnell wanted to get up and go to her but he thought better of it so he hung back to allow Jenna and Will to sort this out.

"Stop everyone. No use in name calling, or spewing insults. We're all hurt here. Or at least I guess maybe it's just Will and I. It happened. I suspected, I knew. So what do you want Darnell? Do you want me to move out of the house?" Macy asked.

"No, there are plenty of rooms, I can move into a guest room. We'll have to hash out the technicalities. Jenna, if you need someplace to stay..."

"Oh no, she's not staying at the house while I am. Bull shit on that," Macy said.

"Stop! Everyone, please. I will move out. That way there's no ill feelings on it. And Jenna, you can come with me, since we're already in a family way. Will can have his house. Macy will have hers. Everyone happy?" Darnell said to everyone's shock.

"I. I don't know. It seems awfully sudden. You two move in together?" Will asked looking at Darnell.

"Why not? It's done, is it not? Jenna and I will move in. You and Macy can have the homes. No one is out of a home," Darnell said. "And I'll hire an attorney tomorrow to start proceedings. I'd like to get this over with as quick as possible."

"I'm sure," Will said with his jaw flexing.

"Macy, I'm sorry. I will gather a few things and will leave tonight. Jenna, I'll let you know where to meet me later," Darnell said. He fought the urge to kiss her but didn't in front of Will and Macy.

"Well, since you drove yourself here I assume you can get back to get your things. I'll be home later. Macy are you okay?" Will asked.

"I'm fine. I'm going to talk to Darnell once you all leave," Macy said. Jenna had gotten up to leave the room and Macy mouthed to Will
I will call you later
.

Macy followed Darnell up to their master suite to talk with him while he packed. "You don't have to leave. This is as much your house as it is mine, and there's plenty of room here for you to stay," Macy said.

Darnell paused the packing and regarded his wife. He softened a bit feeling bad for how things worked out. "Macy," he started to say shaking his head.

"Don't. I just want to know. Did you feel I couldn't give you what she did? I mean I'm here for you day in and day out and you chose to turn to her," Macy said her eyes staying steady on Darnell.

"Macy, I swear to you, I never set out to do this. When I married you I loved you and I thought we'd be married forever. But Jenna just happened. She happened so long ago and we never had closure. You have to know when I ran into her when I hired her it was not my intention to sleep with her. I don't know, maybe I'm a weak man. I fell in love with her all over again. I tried for months to resist the urge. But in a weak moment I couldn't resist and it just escalated from there," Darnell said.

"So you do love her then. It's not just a heat of the moment?"

"I never stopped loving her, Macy. I'm so sorry. I failed us, I know. But there's a baby on the way now. I need to do what's right by the baby. I want to be with Jenna. I don't want to hurt you but I'd be lying if I said I wanted to stay here and keep trying," Darnell said.

Darnell thought it odd that Macy wasn't as upset as he thought she'd be. She seemed to be taking it in stride, calm and almost indifferent. "What do you want out of this?" he asked.

"What? Like the bank account, the house, the cars?" she asked with a chuckle. "I'm not so materialistic that I want to take it all from you. I don't know that I want this house even. I think we can come to some terms. I'm not going to lie down and cry if that's what you think. You're moving on with life and so will I," Macy said and turned to leave the room. She decided she'd had enough.

After Darnell left she sent a text to Will.
Is the coast clear?
It took about half an hour before he texted back.

It is now. Jenna packed and left. Cyber?

'K - logging on now.

Will and Macy met in the chat room. This time Macy didn't have to hide what she was doing and neither did Will.

"So I guess you are right, they had an affair," Will said smiling and enjoying seeing Macy on the screen.

"Yeah, not too much to miss there. A baby, wow. How do you feel about that?" Macy asked.

"Not sure. We had discussed having a baby but it never transpired. You?"

Macy thought for a moment. "We really didn't discuss having babies yet. Darnell is very driven in his career and in making money. I mean I figured we'd have a baby someday just not so soon. I'll be watching with interest to see how Darnell acts with Jenna," Macy said.

"Yeah. It's crazy. Jenna kept asking if I was okay. I guess I've braced for this for a while so it really came as no surprise," Will said.

"And where did they go?"

"I have no clue. She packed her bags and received a call from Darnell in the interim and said good-bye. She looked a bit peaked so I guess she wasn't feeling great. I don't know, her lover had her meet him somewhere. Speaking of which Macy dear, where do
we
go from here?" Will said his eyes burning through the screen at Macy.

Macy smiled sweetly. "I'm not sure Will
dear
. I do know that two wrongs don't make a right if you know what I mean," she said wistfully.

"No one has to know. They've left us Macy. Why should we sit at home alone during this? We'll be divorced and free in about thirty to forty days I'm guessing. So why can't we just see each other during that? No one has to know," Will said.

"Mmm, I don't know, it seems awfully risky," Macy said smiling to the point her cute dimples appeared below her cheeks.

Will longed to reach out and caress her face. He craved the taste of her red lips. Ever since the brief kiss they shared a couple of weeks ago he's done nothing but dream about kissing her more. "Why don't you come over?" Will asked.

"William Stuart, the body's not even cold yet and you're ready to move on!"

"Honey, the body that constituted my and Jenna's marriage died and grew cold long ago." They both chuckled.

"It feels good to laugh like this," Macy said.

"Ah, but I'm serious. What's stopping us now?"

"I think we should wait until at least the divorces are file, don't you? I mean come on. They are the ones with egg on their face. We didn't do anything wrong. One little kiss a couple of weeks ago doesn't make us the ones committing infidelity. We would have never done that if we hadn't been suspicious in the first place, right?"

"Yeah, your right. But you know what? I'm actually kind of glad it happened," Will admitted.

"Are you?" Macy asked, a slight look of confusion on her face. She tilted her head to the side. "Starting out I wouldn't have wanted this. No offence. I didn't take my marriage vows lightly. I would have wanted it to work. But it's been months of cold shoulders and avoidances, I guess I'm calloused to it now."

"I didn't take my marriage vows lightly either. And starting out I didn't want this. But it's happened and I can say as I sit in my house alone after my wife, pregnant by her lover, has left, that I'm okay. I am glad I met you Macy. I don't know what's going to transpire. But I do know one thing, ever since I met you I enjoy your company. I am looking forward to seeing you again, somehow," Will said.

Macy blushed. "Me too, Will. Me too."

Darnell booked a suite at the only hotel in town, the largest one they had and brought Jenna to it. That first night she fell into Darnell's arms and just cried. The news of the pregnancy still weighed on her mind and the official split of her and Will's marriage made her sad.

"Are you sad at all?" she asked Darnell as they settled into bed.

"No, life is too short to be sad. Honey, I spent the past several months going over this in my mind. I've said good-bye to Macy long ago. She's really a sweet lady and deserves someone who won't cheat on her like I did. But that's not to say that I'm a chronic cheater. Far from it. You're my one true love, Jenna. I'm not going to apologize about that," Darnell said.

Jenna smiled and rolled toward him, planting a kiss on his lips. "I guess we need to get used to each other, huh?"

"You bet! You're stuck with me sugar lips. I'm going to give you the best of everything. You're my baby momma but I hope within a couple of months to make you my wife," Darnell said.

"Let's just get the divorces out of the way first," Jenna said as she reached around and cut off the light.

Darnell pulled her to him, landing his lips on hers as they melted together in a passionate embrace. "I love you little lady," Darnell said.

"I love you back," Jenna said as she scooted on top of him. Darnell grasped her nipples eliciting a groan as she bent over and kissed his chest, running her hands over his body. She kissed and nibbled his neck, wanting to experience all of him now that they had officially separated from their spouses.

"Oh girl, I can't wait to set up house with you and be able to wake up together every day," Darnell said.

Jenna sat up and Darnell's hard pole stuck out between her legs. She bent forward rubbing it against her clit. "Mmm, I like this." She raised back up and Darnell pinched and tugged her nipples gently as she grasped his cock and rubbed it over her slit and concentrated circles over her clit. It didn't take long with the precum lubing his head for her to feel the beginnings of the orgasm. Pregnancy certainly increased the pleasure down there and she relished in the sensations.

Darnell lurched forward as the rubbing brought about increased pleasure in him as well. "Come on baby," he said breathlessly.

Jenna let go as the orgasm rocked through her mid-section, she ground her pelvis into his crotch, grasping his penis and rubbing it frantically as she came. "Uhhh, uhhhh, oooh, yes." Finally the orgasm waned and she shoved her pussy over his raging hard-on to give him the same amount of satisfaction.

Darnell grasped her hips and helped her with the rhythmic movements he loved. He felt the semen build at the base of his cock as it stiffened more. "Come on," he groaned as he helped her grind up and down faster until he growled into the orgasm. "Uhhh, fuck, uhhhh, ooh, mmmmm." He rocked her up and down fast for a few moments over his cock while he stirred from under her before slowing. His cock filled her pussy full as he shot all he had. She collapsed on top of him and he wrapped his arms about her, rubbing her back as he caught his breath, The couple fell asleep afterwards only to wake up some hours later and make love all over again.

"You're going to sell your house? It's such a nice home," Jenna said not believing what Darnell told her.

"Yeah, it is nice, but it's all Macy. We discussed it today and agreed to split the profits from the sale down the middle. I'll give her a divorce settlement of what's fair as well. Both of our attorneys agreed this is best and fast. I want you and me to go looking for a home," Darnell said.

Jenna sighed. "Are we going to just live together?" she asked feeling apprehensive.

"Honey, I want you to be my partner for life. When the divorce is final we can become a family proper and get married. I want our baby to have two parents at home, together. Don't you want that?" Darnell asked.

"I do. I just, I don't know. We haven't fully discussed this. We went from messing around to me pregnant to separating from our spouses. It's all happening so fast. I know it needs to. I just, we haven't discussed marriage or the like," Jenna said.

"You do want to marry me, don't you?" Darnell asked.

"Well sure, if you ask me." She winked at him.

"Oh. I get it. Okay," he said and dropped the topic. "I'm going out for errands. Are you okay here? Can you hold down the fort?"

Jenna gave him a questioning look. "I'll do my best. I think I can run things okay here. I have some stuff to do anyway." She turned and flipped through the folders on her desk. The accountant needed some information logged into the computer. She smiled up at Darnell. "Run along, I'm good." He kissed her on the head and walked away with a bounce in his step.

Jenna had to sign the divorce papers drawn up for her and Will. They didn't have much as far as assets. Will paid her for half of the house and they split their joint accounts. Will decided to stay in the house so Jenna moved her things out of it to live in the rental home with Darnell. Now Jenna wondered about her future with Darnell and the mysterious errand we went to run.
