Nico
![](jackie4/jackiebabyromnico1.jpg)
In a very short time, Nico has grown accustomed to his double life; he comes home to find Jackie alone in the room they've prepared for the daughter who will be born any day now, and he just doesn't feel the stab of guilt he felt the first time he climbed in bed beside her after spending the evening making love to Mary.
|
Jackie jumps up & embraces him: he's lucky tonight, she's in a good mood.
|
"I love you so much, Nico," she says, crying, "I'm sorry I've been so horrible to you, you are always so good to me," she apologizes between sobs. Her words cut right through his newly erected defenses, "Don't say that Jackie, please," he begs, can't bearing to hear her put herself down that way & put himself on a pedestal he knows is too high for him.
|
"I'm so sorry, Nico, I promise it's going to be different from now," she continues apologizing. It's too much to take, she's blaming herself for things that aren't her fault, and he has things to apologize for that she hasn't found out about yet. "Don't apologize to me, please Jackie. You have nothing to apologize for," he tells her, unable to accept the apology. She doesn't listen, but keeps going on, "No, Nico, I do have to apologize, I've nagged & whined at you since we've gotten together & I see now that I've been driving us apart. I don't want to do that anymore, Nico, I'm going to be better, and we're going to be happy..." It's like every word thrusts a needle into his stomach: he's thought every one of these words himself, it's part of what he seeks relief from when he's with Mary. Now Jackie is offering him a chance to confess his sin to her, beg forgiveness & commit himself to her and only her, completely. But doing that would require giving up Mary: Nico knows this fling won't last forever, but he isn't ready to lose it just yet. "I don't want you to apologize, Jacklyn," is all he can say: no confession, no apology of his own, just an insistent refusal to accept any apology from her. "We can get married right after she's born, Nico, I want to do this now, to be a family, for real...," Jackie says, her voice trembling & close to tears now because his guilty behavior has confused her.
|
She's just offered him the one thing he's been after since discovering she was carrying his child. Mary has done nothing to change his feelings about that, and he pulls Jackie towards him in a passionate kiss. "I love you, Jacklyn," he whispers, "Always remember that I love you." Once the Mary thing is over, everything will be all right: it won't last forever...
|
She looks up lovingly into his eyes & smiles, "Oh, guess who I ran into today? Mary Strong, can you believe it?" Is he being tested? If so, he's failing terribly...The only reply he can manage is to squeak out a "Mary?" and hope Jackie will explain before he gets himself in trouble. Jackie laughs, "Yes, Mary Strong, the actress, she has like 5 Oscars or something, she told me she danced with you at the Sam & Julie Valentine wedding..." Nico remembers dancing with Mary, and a whole lot more... "I danced with her at the wedding," he repeats, memorizing which of what used to be his secrets are now public facts. "She told me she remembered you because she's working on her Italian accent, & she studied your voice. She kind of sounds like you, too, Nico," Jackie laughs, "You must have really inspired her." How much time did Mary spend with her? Nico wonders, What did they talk about?.
