Two days later.

"I'm out of this prison!" Arabella shouts as she stands on the bed.

Danny grabs Arabella's bag and chuckles.
He then puts her mask on her face and she yanks it off.

"I'm not wearing this."

Danny takes it and places it back on her face.
"Yes you are. Now please stop it. Leave it on or we'll have to stay here.  It's too dangerous for you to be out there without it, plus it's the rules.

"Fine!" Arabella groans.

"Thank you."

"You got all my medicine, daddy?"

"I've got it, baby."

"Good! Cause I don't wanna shake again!"

"You won't, baby.  Alright, we're all ready to go!"

"Daddy?"

"Yes Princess?"

"Can I have McDonalds?"

"No thats yucky stuff. Grandma is at the house making us a yummy healthy meal."

"Grooooss."

"Bella!" Danny chuckles.

"I wish I was normal!" Arabella frowns and crosses her arms.

"You are normal."

"No I'm not. I can't even eat the good stuff or I'll die."

"Honey, that's not true. We all need to eat healthier."

"Cause you're gaining weight?" Arabella looks at Danny's stomach then pokes it.

"Yes. Thank you for reminding me of that, honey."

Arabella sits down on the bed and sighs.

"You're special, Bella Boo. You're the strongest girl I know."

"You know a lot of people, that's a lie." Arabella says in a low voice.

"I do know a lot of people, but it isn't a lie. You're the most amazing human I've ever met."

"Thank you, Daddy.."

"Come on, beautiful." Danny lifts her. "Let's get out of here."

**

"Kids, they're here!" Zoe says as the kids run to greet their sister.

"WELCOME HOME!!!" They shout.

"Hi friends! You can hug me, I'm not sick!"

Her siblings gave Arabella a group hug.

"We missed you, Bella!" Sofia says.

"I missed you too!"

"Do you feel better, sissy?" Coltan asks.

"Yep! I've got no more shakes!"

Sofia smiles and lifts her sister.

"Why are you crying, Sofie?"

"I'm just so happy you're okay."

Arabella smiles and hugs her tightly.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Arabella says patting Sofia's back.

Danny chuckles and kisses the top of Sofia's head. Sofia looks up to her father and he wipes her tears.

"I missed you, dad."

"I missed you too, Princess." Danny then sighs. "But we're home now.. Just one more and we'll be complete again."

"Yeah.."

"I got to talk to momma, guys!" Arabella smiles.

"I know! We can't wait til we get to talk to her too!" Jackson says.

**

30 minutes later.

"Hey beautiful! How are you feeling?"

"Great, I'm ready to go home!"

"Soon, honey.  They said very very soon."

"I miss the babies so much.."

"I know you do. I have a surprise for you!" Danny said.  Jessica could hear the smile in his voice.

"Are the kids back from your mother's?!"

"They are!" Danny lifts the phone and the kids shout. "Hi Mommy!"

"Oh my babies! Hiiii!"

"You sound so good, mom!" Jackson says.

"Thank you, honey. I feel good!"

"My mommy!" Joseph giggles.

"We miss you, mommy!" Joshua says.

"I miss you all SO much!"

"Momma.."

"Coltan? Oh baby, are you crying?"

"I just love you so much. I wanna hold you." He cries.

"I'll be home soon, baby. I promise. I love you so so much."

"I just wanna hold you and never ever let you go!"

"Aw my heart! I can't believe how much I've missed.. I just want to be home with everyone.."

3 days later.

"Mrs. Huston, great news!"

"I can finally go pee? I've been asking for toilet paper for over an hour!"

"Oh I'm sorry! That wasn't my news, but we can get you some TP as soon as possible."

"Thank you." Jessica sighs. "What was your great news."

"You're free to go!"

"What?!"

"Call your husband and tell him he has a hot date tonight."

Jessica immediately started crying. "Oh I'm so happy! I don't even have to pee anymore!"

Jessica wipes her eyes and calls Danny.

"Hello?"

"Danny!"

"Jess, what's wrong?"

"Come and get me, cutie!"

"What?"

"I'm free to leave!"

"Oh my gosh! Are you serious?"

"No Danny, it's a joke. Yes I'm serious!"

"I'm coming right now! Oh my gosh I'm gonna see you!"

Jessica smiled as tears ran down her face.

Danny quickly called Jessica's parents and they came over to watch the kids. He didn't tell them Jessica would be coming home today.

**

"How does my hair look? I haven't gotten it cut since before my accident in September!  I look like a wild woman!"

"It looks beautiful, Mrs. Huston!"

"Thank you. I haven't shaved forever either.. I've lost a lot of weight.. I had already lost a ton after my accident. Danny won't even recognize me. Neither will my kids.. Oh gosh, now I'm nervous."

"Mrs. Huston. You are beautiful! I know your hubby is going to take one look at you and want to just eat you up!"

Jessica laughs. "That sounds like my Danny."

The nurse then pushed Jessica down the hall and outside.

Jessica looked up and smiled. The feeling of the sun on her skin was incredible. Seeing other people and hearing the birds chirp made her so happy. Than she saw Danny.

Danny ran over, both crying. Danny kneeled down and hugged her.

"My angel. Oh gosh I'm so proud of you, honey. I'm so so proud."

"I love you, Danny." Jessica pulls away. She pulls his mask down before pulling hers down as well.

Their lips touched and it was magical.

Danny then kissed her neck before shutting his eyes and holding her tightly.

"I'm so happy to have you in my arms. I never want to let you go."

Jessica cried as she clung weakly to him.

Soon Danny helped her up and into the car.

The nurse went over a few things he would need to help Jessica with. One of them being her oxygen machine she would need when she's asleep.

Then the two were off.

"No one knows you're with me. They're gonna crap themselves!"

Jessica laughs. "I'm so happy. I didn't think I would make it, Danny. I was so scared."

"So was I. I hated thinking of you going through all of that.. and all alone! Jessica, you've gone through a lifetime of struggles.. yet you still have a beautiful smile on your face.  You're the most incredible woman I have ever met.  I'm so blessed to call you my wife."

"Aw Danny." Jessica smiles with tears in her eyes.

"I love you so much.  Thank you for holding everything down while I've been gone.  The kids are so lucky to have a father like you."

"I've been struggling without you.. you have no idea.."

Jessica smiles and softly caresses her fingers on his cheek.

Danny quickly pulls over and leans towards her for a kiss.

Jessica giggles and kisses him back.
She then pulls away and says, "Social distance, sir!"

Danny laughs. "Hey we're both negative!  I'm never leaving your sight, little lady."

Jessica laughs before coughing a bit.

"You okay, honey?"

"Yeah.. my lungs were crap after the accident and now they're Shiiiit."

Danny chuckles. "It's not funny at all!  But somehow you always crack a joke even in times like this.  You'll get to feeling back to your old self soon, angel."

"I hope so."

**

"We're home!"

"We are!" Jessica smiles. "I'm nervous!"

"Why honey?"

"I look sick." She pouts.

"You look beautiful!"

"Thanks."

Danny walks around and helps her out of the car.  They then walk to the front door and Jessica takes a deep breath.

"What's wrong?"

"I guess I haven't gotten used to moving around much.  My bones hurt.  I didn't have time to heal after the accident before I went back."

"My poor baby." Danny then surprises Jessica by scooping her up.

Jessica giggles and wraps her arms around him.

"This is just like when we first got married." She says.

"Yep!  To new beginnings." Danny smiles before kissing her lips.

Jessica kisses him then pulls away. "I wanna see my babies."

Danny opens the door and shouts. "Kids, I'm home!"

"So?" Arabella shouts.

Danny looks at Jessica and she laughs.

"Just get down here!"

The kids drag themselves down to see what their father wants.

"MOM!" Jackson spotted her first.  He ran to her as fast as he could.

"Dad, put her down!"

Jessica giggles and hugs her son.

"Hi Jaxy!  I missed you, baby."

Jackson sobbed as he held his mother.

"Aw sweetie, don't cry!"

"I love you mommy."

"I love you more!"

"Kids!  Come down here now!"

"We're coming!  We were watching a movie with grandma and grand- MOMMY!" Arabella screams as she hurries down the stairs.

"Be carful, baby!" Jessica says.

All the kids hurry down.  Albert and Dorothy hear all the shouting and run down as well.

The kids attacked Jessica with hugs as tears rolled down their faces.  They all just kept telling her how much they loved her.

"I thought I'd never see you again, mommy!" Coltan says.

"Aw honey!  I can't leave you guys.  I fought so hard just to stay here with you.  I promise I won't leave again.  I love you all so so much!"

Jackson wipes her tears and kisses her cheek.

Dorothy cried.  She wanted to hug her daughter so much, but she knew her and her babies needed their time.

Jessica will find out about Arabella having epilepsy in the next chapter.  I just wanted her to have a moment of happiness. 💚
