  Summary

  the original ending for my other work Proud of Your Boy (I will die your Daughter)
  Context- Jack married Sarah and got her pregnant, but then went to the bar and fucked a girl that looked exactly like Davey. Sarah died in childbirth. When Davey learned that Jack cheated on Sarah with a girl that looked exactly like him, he thought that it was his fault that Sarah was dead and shot himself.
