"I love you, Mr. Huston." Jessica says in a sweet voice as she softy traces circles on his back.

"I love you too.."

Danny laid his head on her chest and held back his tears with everything he had.

Jessica massaged her fingers through his hair and they stayed there for a while like they were in a comfortable position.

Danny kisses Jessica's chest and mumbles, "Let's go home, baby."

"Okay.. Danny.."

"Yeah?"

"Thank you." Jessica smiles softly.

"For what, baby?"

"For making me happy. I love you so much."

Danny had a huge lump in his throat. He paused for a moment before nodding his head.

"I love you more.. Thank you.. For making me happy." His voice began to shake.

Jessica smiles big and wraps her arms around him tightly.

Danny closed his eyes and held her in his arms.

Inside he was falling apart. He knew not telling her was just going to make it worse. But he couldn't get himself to do it. Danny loved his life and he didn't want it to change.

The next morning.

"I still mad at you mommy!"

"Why, Bella Boo?"

"Cuz you no take me to eat!" Arabella puckers her lips, narrows her brows and crosses her arms.

"I'm so sorry, precious!" Jessica cups her chubby cheeks and gives her a kiss.

Arabella smiles instantly and wraps her arms around her mother's neck.

"Momma, can daddy help me with my homework today?"

"Yeah baby, I don't think he's got anything planned. He's in the shower right now but when he comes down you can ask him."

"Okay!" Jackson says with a smile.

Jessica giggles at his cuteness.
"Sof, what about you? Do you have any homework?"

"I finished it all at grandma's yesterday."

"Oh wow! Good job, honey!"

"Thanks! It was a bit distracting having the three little babies there, but I did it!"

"Cause you're awesome!"

"Yeah!" Sofia giggles.

"Mama, Joe smells like poop!" Joshua says holding his nose.

Jessica sniffs, "He does not!
Wait a minute.. That's YOU!"

"Oh!" Joshua giggles.

"Yeah dat me!"

"You smelly boy!" Jessica laughs.

"Change my yucky, mommy!" Joshua bangs his fist on the table.

"I am baby, hold your horses!"

"I gots no horses, I gots poop!" He says holding his little hands up.

"Okay!" Jessica laughs.

The day went on and Danny was quiet and to himself, but Jessica didn't really think much of it. She was busy with the kids.

"Okay.. Do it now Danny, Do it now!
.. I can't. How will I tell her? This will break her heart. How do we tell the kids?"

"Oh my God!" Danny says covering his face and completely breaking down.

"My kids are gonna know! They're gonna hate me!" He bawls.

"Why? WHY does my life have to be this way? I know I was wrong. I know I was a horrible person.. But I moved past that. We've moved on.. Now this is bringing us all back to the very beginning. I don't know what will happen next. Will it break us? It can't.. Jessica and I are too strong. This can't break us!!"

**

Once the kids were all in bed Jessica made herself some hot tea and sat in the living room.

Danny walked in with knots in his stomach ready to tell her.

Jessica smiles, "Hi my love. You wanna watch a movie with me?"

"Jessica, I have to talk to you."

"Okay."

"There's something that I need to tell you.. It's not good and I-I just need to say it."

"What's wrong?"

Danny finally looks her in the eyes and sighs.
He grabs his hair and sits beside her on the couch and takes her hand.

"Danny, what is it? You're scaring me." Jessica sits her tea down and faces him.

"I love you. I love you more than anything in the world and I don't want to hurt you."

"Danny What Is It?"

"I saw Trisha at the store the other day."

Jessica's heart immediately started beating faster. Her body became hot, her stomach dropped and her eyes slightly widened. Just hearing him say that woman's name made her sick.

"What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything, I swear!
.. We just talked.. Jessica... She was there with a little boy."

"Hers?"

Danny nods his head.
Inside Jessica already knew what he was going to say. Her heart hurt her so bad in that moment.

"H..How old is the little boy, Danny?" Jessica asked. Her eyes were glossy and her voice was a bit shaky.

Danny squeezed her hand a little tighter and Jessica asked once again.

"How old is he, Danny?"

"He's two and a half."

"No... No.." Jessica's voice was low and she nodded her head slightly.

"Jessica." Danny broke.

"He's mine, Jessica."

Hearing that made tears pour down Jessica's face. She just continued nodding her head.

"NO!" Jessica yanked her arm away from him.

"Jessica, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Jessica couldn't speak right now. She wa absolutely heartbroken.

"I promise you that we've never been together since. That happened when-"

"I don't want to know when it happened, Danny!"

Danny stops talking and just watches Jessica's movement.

"I had no idea-"

"When do you find this out?" She asks staring at the ground."

"I uh-"

"When did you find this out!" Jessica raises her voice.

"When I took the boys with me to the store, I saw-"

"My boys were with you?" She looks into Danny's eyes.

"I'm sorry."

"So what.. All this date night stuff was just to soften me up? Maybe I wouldn't be so upset if you took me out to dinner and fucked me?  Give me what I want so I'd happy with you?  All of that was a lie, Danny!!" Jessica yells and bangs her fist onto the couch cushion.

"No." Danny nods.

"No baby, it wasn't. I love you very very much and I know that I need to show you more. I should have been treating you that way."

Jessica scoffs.

"Danny.. I've had to put up with a lot of shit from you. The day I found out I was pregnant I also found out you had been cheating on me. You tell me you got this CHILD pregnant and I end until going into labor and having Arabella. She almost Died Danny!!  and then this girl says it was all a lie and that she just wanted to be with you. I forgave you. I moved on. We're happy. Our children are healthy. Finally things are going well. Now she's back.. Daniel what on earth happened the day you met her? What made you do what you did? WHY DID YOU RUIN OUR LIVES?!"

"Jessica I'm sorry.."

"You're sorry? Danny, how are we gonna tell the kids? How are we going to tell our family?" Jessica covers her mouth and starts crying.

"What are we going to do?" Jessica spoke in a tearful whisper.

"She lives in Texas now and is visiting family here. I went by to talk to her-"

"Wait a minute, what? You went where?"

"To her aunt's house.."

"Are you kidding me? You didn't even talk to me first? You just lied to me and went behind my back to see your baby mama?"

"Jess-"

"NO DANNY! I'm not just gonna say oh Danny you have another child? Bring him over to meet the kids!!
How could you go over there without telling me?"

"I'm so sorry.  I was scared to tell you."

"When did you go?"

"...Yesterday."

Jessica looks down and a sob escapes her lips.

"You took me out because you felt guilty.
Danny for me last night was everything.  It made me so happy.. I love you more than anything.. But I can't.. I can't even look at you right now."

"Jessica, I hate that this is happening.  I love you so much, you know I do!"

Jessica looked down as tears continued falling.

"Get out."

"What?"

"Get Out."

"Jessica please.  Can we please talk and figure this whole thing out?"

"No.  You lied to me.  You say you have another son.. With another woman." She says as even more tears fall.

".. I just want to be alone.  Please leave."

"Jessica." Danny cried as he placed his hand on her thigh.

"Please don't touch me.  I want you to leave.  I can't deal with this right now."

"I need you.  I need you to forgive me because you're my entire world, Jessie.  I love you, baby girl.  I love you so much." Danny says now sobbing.

"Danny I can't.  This changes so much.  Please just go."

"Where do you want me to go?"

Jessica turned to face him as her lips quivered.

"Your other family."
