Evan came home after making sure Susan was okay as he went to gather his stuff as Jessica heard him come in.

"How's Susan?" Jessica asked him.

"She and the baby are fine." Evan said as he walked past her to get his toiletries and other items.

"What are you doing?" Jessica asked him.

"I'm leaving, but I'll come pick Grace up tomorrow morning." Evan said.

"Evan, please don't leave?" Jessica begged as Evan still didn't believe her.

"Why should I trust you? You act like cheating on your spouse is a great accomplishment." Evan said.

"Where are you going to stay at?" Jessica asked.

"Finn's house. Like I said, I'm going house hunting tomorrow." Evan said.

"I said I was sorry. What else do I have to do to prove that I'm never going to hurt your or see him again?" Jessica asked him.

"You don't have to do anything. I mean, why don't you two get hitched and you can quit your job and stay home all day like you told Susan." Evan said.

"Susan told you that?" Jessica asked her.

"It totally makes since now. You decide to cheat on me with him, ruin all the trust I ever had in you, just so you can move your rich doctor boyfriend in here and never have to work in a dough factory as you called it or work ever again and the house that me, you and our daughter have lived in for eight years could just be yours and his." Evan said as he zipped up his duffle bag.

"Evan, I... am never going to see him again, I promise. We can work on our marriage and go back to being the same people we were." Jessica said.

"I don't think so. You'll cheat again, you're just sorry you got caught and you're just trying to get inside my head so you can confuse me. I don't tolerate a cheater, never have and never will. Once a person cheats, there's no trust ever again, so therefore, I don't trust you at all." Evan said.

"Now, I'm leaving and I'll be here tomorrow morning to pick Grace up." Evan said gathering his things as Jessica watched him walk out of the room and heard the front door close as she started crying.

...

The next morning, Jessica was in the kitchen as Grace walked in just to see her and not Evan.

"Where's daddy?" Grace asked her.

"He went to Uncle Finn's house for a little while." Jessica said as she set her breakfast down in front of her.

"Is he coming back?" Grace asked her.

"Yes, he'll be here in a little while." Jessica said.

"Mommy, do you and daddy love each other anymore?" Grace asked as Jessica looked at her daughter with sad eyes.

"We do baby." Jessica said as there was a knock on the door.

"Well, I wonder who that could be?" Jessica asked Grace as she got up and answered the door to see Evan.

"Daddy!" Grace hollered as she ran and jumped into his arms.

"Hey baby. Do you have your bag packed and ready to go?" Evan asked as Grace looked at him.

"No, why?" Grace asked him.

"Because me and you are going to stay with Uncle Finn tonight." Evan said as Jessica shook her head back and forth while pursing her lips.

"Why not here with mommy?" Grace asked.

"Mommy and daddy are not going to be living together anymore. Me and you are going house hunting, you get to pick what house daddy will live in." Evan said as Grace looked between Evan and Jessica.

"Why?" Grace asked.

"Because mommy and daddy are not happy together anymore and we want what's best for us and you." Evan asked.

"I want you and mommy to stay together." Grace said as Jessica looked at him.

"Gracie, I know it'll be strange for awhile but we have to do what's best for you." Evan said.

"I agree with Grace, this is just foolish. Why don't you move back in?" Jessica asked.

"Jessica, I have my made my mind up and it won't matter if we go to counseling or take a trip somewhere, it'll be the same every time and I can't take that chance, this will save us both a lot of heartache if we just signed the divorce papers and get joint custody of Grace." Evan said.

"Is that what you really want Evan?" Jessica asked him.

"No Jessica, it's what you did that made us drift apart." Evan said.

"Grace honey, why don't you go play in your room for a little while so mommy and daddy can talk?" Jessica asked her.

"Okay mommy." Grace said.

"Now, let's talk this out. Why did you cheat on me?" Evan asked her.

"You only got one side of the story!" Jessica shouted.

"Alright, then you can tell me how much better your story will sound." Evan said.

"I told him I didn't want him and he kept on and on pushing it. I refused him many times and he just kept pushing it on me." Jessica said.

"Until you finally gave in?" Evan asked.

"I told him me and you were happily married and I even showed him my wedding rings and he didn't care." Jessica said.

"You still went through with it Jessica. I don't see this getting any better and you knew what he was up to." Evan said.

"He took it upon himself first! I never came onto him at all!" Jessica said in tears.

"I see this story not getting any better." Evan said.

"Yes, I went to his hotel room with him but not for what you think." Jessica said.

"Because you two decided to go through with the options of us having another baby? That was none of his business anyway and him telling you that Susan was pregnant was none of his to tell you too." Evan said as he sat down on the side of the porch as Jessica did as well.

"Can I give you the real story of what happened before you decide to believe everyone but me. I'm your wife and I'm not going to let you walk away and divorce me until I give you all the details." Jessica said.

"Okay, but I have some questions too for you." Evan said.

"Okay." Jessica said.

"I'm going to ask you again and this time, I want the entire story and the truth because if you lie to me or leave anything out, I'm going to leave and we'll be done for good." Evan said.

"Okay." Jessica said.

"Why did you go to the bar that night when you knew he was there?" He asked.

"I didn't know he was there until he asked if anyone was sitting next to me beside the stool I was sitting on and he asked if he could buy me a drink and I refused to let him buy me one." Jessica said.

"When we were on the phone, we're you letting him put his hand between your thighs?" He asked "Because the guys were talking to me about how both of you were all over each other." Evan said.

"No, he started kissing my neck after we got off the phone together and I tried to push him off but he kept saying "We can go back to my hotel room." I told him no and that I was married to you." Jessica said.

"But you did go back to his hotel room." Evan said as he looked at her.

"Not for what you think." Jessica said.

"So, you went back to his hotel room to discuss fertility options?" Evan asked as Jessica looked at him.

"We did discuss that but Evan, you and I haven't exactly been close lately and I was lonely. You were two towns away at a meeting and Grace went to Isabel's and I was at home, all alone by myself." Jessica said.

"Jess, I was off two towns away to discuss expanding our bakery so we can hire more people so we can be together more. I miss us being together just as bad as you do and I did this so we can spend some more one on one time together and with our daughter." Evan said.

"Evan, I want to be included in those meetings because we are the owners and I feel like you don't include me in anything when it comes to that. I just feel like one of your employees and not anything more." Jessica said.

"Jess, you hate those meetings because it makes you bored senseless. You told me that they drag on and I don't want you to worry about anything. I'm sorry if I make you feel like you're just my employee, which you're not. You're the sole partner and owner of our bakery and next time we have a meeting, we'll go together." Evan said as Jessica came and sat on his lap and kissed him. 

"Then, let's work on us. We'll go to counseling and do whatever it takes. I never slept with Danny and I never would do anything to hurt you, I love you so damn much that it hurts and I would never let some man come in and take your place." Jessica said as Evan looked at her.

"I love you Jess, but I think we need some time apart." Evan said as Jessica started kissing his neck as her hand went down to his bulge.

"We spent plenty of time apart and I want you to stay here with me and Grace." Jessica said.

"Jess, this isn't easy for me either but it's the best choice." Evan said as he tried to get up but Jessica clung to him.

"Please don't go." She started crying into his shoulder while making sure he could not get up.

"This is temporary and you'll see that this is what we both need." Evan said.

"No, no we don't because our marriage will fall apart and you'll find someone new. I know how this ends and I'm not about to lose you because of a bunch of rumors and lies people have told you. I did not cheat on you with him and I'm tired of you taking their word over mine. I'm your wife and you're my husband and I'm not losing you to anyone who said I would leave you." Jessica said as she closed her eyes from the tears falling down her face.

"Jess, the same thing would be said about me if I was where you were at right now. I know you think that I'm overreacting but so would you if our friends saw me in a bar with some woman all over me and I'd never do that to you because you and our marriage mean everything to me and I would just get up and leave, you said you tried but I would have rushed out that door, got in your car and left." Evan said.

"Our marriage means everything to me too and why would I want another man in my life when I have you? How many times do I have to repeat myself for you to listen to what I have already said?" Jessica asked.

"People already think you're going to be with him and I don't want that, I want you but this is all so confusing and I don't know where to go from here. What if we can't repair what we had? What if Danny comes back into your life? What'll happen if he gives you the world that I can't give you? What if he gives you everything you've ever dreamed of? What will you say or do?" Evan asked her.

"We're going to repair what we had and we can fix us. Danny is never going to come in my life and take your place. You've already given me more than I could've ever asked for. He isn't going to ever give me anything that I already have because I don't want anyone else but you and all I have to say is that I love you and I'm never going anywhere except right here with you, on this porch, in our house with our daughter and the life we built together." Jessica said as she kissed him.

Evan started kissing her neck as Jessica moaned out loud.

"Let's go to our bedroom." Jessica whispered in his ear.

"Are you sure?" Evan asked her.

"Yes, I need you so bad right now!" Jessica whispered.

Evan picked her up with her legs around his waist as he tried to open the door but it was hard to do when Jessica's hand was massaging him through his briefs.

"Baby, we have to go tell Grace that I'm staying home." Evan said.

"Later." Jessica said as Evan carried her into their bedroom and closed the door.

Evan laid her down on the bed as Jessica unbuttoned his pants and flipped him over on his back and started kissing down his neck, chest, stomach and down to his happy trail as Evan was patient to know what she had in mind.

"Tell me what you want me to do?" Jessica asked him.

"Nothing that you don't want to do." Evan said.

"Honey, I've given you plenty of blowjobs for you to know that I love making you feel better after a stressful day. Now, tell me what you want and don't think you're demanding it?" Jessica asked.

"I want a blowjob but I wanted to pleasure you first." Evan said.

"You can pleasure me right after I'm done giving you the pleasure of my mouth and tongue." Jessica said.

"Are we talking dirty to each other?" Evan asked her.

"You want to?" Jessica asked him.

"Yeah." Evan smiled.

"Then, let me suck your dick and be quiet while we both enjoy it." Jessica said as Evan looked at her taking his member into her mouth while she locked eyes with him.

"I can't wait to see you on top of me." Evan said as Jessica smiled while licking his member and putting back in her mouth.

"I can't wait to feel you inside me." Jessica said as Evan held her head while his seed into her mouth and down her throat as she gave him a final stroke as she got on top of him.

Evan flipped her over on her back as he took her underwear off as massaged her clit.

"Take your bra off." Evan said as she did as he couldn't take his eyes off her breasts.

"God, I've always loved your boobs." Evan said as Jessica laughed.

"I know and that's why I don't wear a bra to bed like most people." Jessica said.

"Whoever wears a bra to bed must not have back problems. I remember when you were pregnant and you wore your sports bra to bed because your main bra didn't fit at that time and you couldn't stand it when you'd take it off and your breasts were killing your back due to the pain you were in from your belly getting bigger as Grace grew each day." Evan said as Jessica smiled, thinking about the memories.

"I can't believe you remember that." Jessica said.

"I remember everything." Evan said.

"You make me the happiest girl in the entire world." Jessica said as Evan placed his member at her entrance.

"And you make me the luckiest man in the entire world." Evan said as he kissed her.

"Now fuck me before I do it myself." Jessica said as Evan entered her as she moaned.

...

After an hour, Jessica's upper body was laying on him as they were talking.

"You wanna know something?" Evan questioned.

"What?" Jessica asked as she smiled as he held a special box.

"You are my Christmas and the love of my life." Evan said as he slipped something on her finger.

Jessica looked at her finger he slipped her new ring on as she smiled.

"Oh honey, it's beautiful but why did you get me a new ring?" Jessica asked him.

"Because I want to renew our vows. I have loved you for twelve years and I can't imagine my life without you in it." Evan said.

"Let's do it!" Jessica said happily as she kissed him.

"And let's have another baby." Evan said.

"We already planned that out baby." Jessica said as she smiled and kissed him again.

"I love you baby." Evan said.

I love you too baby." Jessica said as they kissed and fell asleep.

Author's Note: Hey guys! I just wanted to let you guys know that y'all are amazing! We had a really, really bad storm come through with straight line winds, heavy, heavy rain, loud thunder, lightning, and tornadoes, even two at once in a couple of towns touching down in towns around me and we haven't had power in like five days and some people don't have phone service, because the storm took down power poles, power lines and phone towers so that's why it's taken me so long to publish.

Please pray for those who lost loved ones in this terrifying and devastating storm. 🙏💔

We just lost power throughout my entire hometown and three of the towns around me.

I hope y'all are having a great day! ❤️
