Danny left and Jessica bawled her eyes out. All she wanted was to be happy. 
She was happy, this is the happiest she's ever been.  But now after this.  Jessica didn't know if they'd ever be happy again.

After a while Jessica went upstairs to her room and continued crying. 
Jessica tried her best to keep it down or just stop crying all together, but she was so hurt she couldn't stop herself.

Sofia heard her mother so she got out of bed and quietly ran and knocked softly on the door.

"Momma?"

Jessica lightly gasped, "Are you okay?  Go back to sleep."

"Can I come in."

Jessica quickly wiped her face and brushed her bangs over attempting to cover as much of her face as she could.

"Yeah.. come in, baby."

"What's wrong?  I heard you crying?  Wait, where's daddy?  Is he okay?" Her daughters eyes slightly widened with fear.

"Your father's fine."

"Then where is he?  Are you fighting again?  Did he hurt you?"

"No baby, we're fine!"

"Then why are you crying?"

"I'm not, it's just allergies."

Sofia didn't believe a word her mother was saying.  That was her mom and she obviously knew her well. She could tell when she was upset, and now was one of those times.

Sofia climbed up onto the bed and sat up tall on her knees beside Jessica.

Sofia wrapped her arms around her and laid Jessica's head on her chest. "It's okay, mommy. Whatever it is it'll be okay."

"Oh I know it will, sweetheart. I'll be okay."

Sofia kissed Jessica's head and rubbed her arm.

"I'm gonna sleep in here with you tonight."

"It's okay, honey.. I'm okay, really."

"I'm sleeping with you." Sofia's soft voice was more demanding this time.

"Okay.. thank you, my love."

"No problem." Sofia kissed her head once again before grabbing her cheeks in her palms and looking deep into her eyes.

"I love you."

"I love you too, princess. You're such a sweet girl." Jessica spoke in a whisper as tears continued falling.

Jessica laid down and Sofia cuddled up close to her mother.
Jessica lightly brushed her hair and held her tight.  She was so blessed to have such a sweet girl.

Jessica couldn't help but think of how Sofia's reaction about Danny's other son would be.  She worried about all of them but especially Sofia's.  She was the only one of their kids that knew about the affair and was absolutely heartbroken when she found out.  Jessica didn't want Sofia to hate Danny, but she knew that she wouldn't be the same with him for a while after finding out.

***

The next morning Jessica woke up with Sofia's hand wrapped around her waist.
Jessica kissed her forehead and just watched her for a second.  She smiled softly before turning to the nightstand and checking her phone.

Jessica had a bunch of missed calls and text messages from Danny.
She sighed and placed her phone back on the nightstand.

Sofia was a light sleeper and woke up when she heard Jessica sit her phone down.

"Momma.."

"What baby?"

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine.  Thank you, sweet girl."

Sofia smiles softly and Jessica softly caresses her cheek.

"Don't tell anyone that mommy was upset, okay?"

"I won't.. I promise."

"Thank you, baby girl." Jessica kissed her on the cheek then turned to grab the remote.

"Here.  You can watch cartoons in here while I get your breakfast ready."

"I can help you."

"No it's okay, baby.  You've already helped me a lot." Jessica smiles softly.

"Thank you."

"No problem!" Sofia smiles and gives her mother a tight hug.

Jessica pats her back, "My sweet girl." She kisses her head and stands up.

Jessica went down the hall and checked on all of the kids before going downstairs.
She heard a noise coming from the kitchen which kinda scared.

Jessica slowly walked downstairs then quietly into the kitchen.

"Why are you here?" She asked.

Danny heard her and quickly turned the stove off.

"I made your favorite!" He smiles.

"Danny-"

"Jessica, I'm so sorry.. I don't know what else to say.. we've come so far and now-"

"Danny, I don't want to talk about it."

"Jess, please!  We have to talk about it!  I know it sucks but it happened.  As much as I wish I could go back, I can't!  It's not like I cheated on you again, why are you so mad at me?"

"Because Danny!  You have another child!  How are we going to tell our children?  Sofia.. she's older now and I just worry about her.  It's gonna be so hard for her.  I just wish none of this was real!  Danny, are you sure he's yours?  Maybe she just wants your money."

"No, I'm sure.  He looks like me.."

Jessica rolled her eyes and looked down.

"Besides, Trisha said she was never even planning on telling me.  I was the one that asked to meet with them.  I was the one that said I wanted to be in his life."

Tears filled Jessica's eyes.

"So what's your plan?  You said they live in Texas?  How do you plan on seeing him?  Because you're not going to take me or my kids anywhere to see your little side family!"

"Jess please."

"What Danny?!"

"We have to take this step by step.. once the shock of it is over then Trish and I can work out some sort of custody agreement."

"What?" Jessica chuckled.

"No Danny.  I won't take care of a child you conceived with another woman.  I won't do it.  I don't even want to see him or his little tramp of a mother."

"Okay.  I understand."

"I just don't see why you're wanting this so badly."

"Jess, he's my son."

Jessica scoffed and looked to the side.

"I know this is hard.  Believe me.  I don't want to hurt you.  I regret everything I've ever done to hurt you.  You're the most amazing woman in the world and you don't deserve this." Danny said with watery eyes.

Jessica covers her face and nods her head. "I just don't understand why this is happening!  We were so happy!"

"Jessica, we can still be happy.  Nothing has changed!"

"Danny, yes it has!  It'll never be the same." She says massaging her head with her hands.

Danny sighs, "They leave tomorrow.  Is it okay with you that I see him before they leave?"

Jessica drops her hands and looks at him.

"You do whatever the fuck you want, Daniel." She says before leaving the room.

***
Should Danny wait a while before telling the kids?
Should Sofia overhear like she did when she found out he cheated on Jessica?
Please let me know what you guys think! :)

Also, I'm really sorry!  I know a lot of you guys are upset about this, but this was my plan the whole time.  I don't want their lives to be perfect, I want them to struggle a bit. 😬
