Everything has changed
"I want you to get your shit and get out of my house Right Now."
"I'm not leaving, Jessica! I love you!" Danny walks over and grabs her waist.
"Don't fucking touch me! I hate you!"
"Jess, I swear on everything I don't have feelings for her! I didn't mean for this to happen."
Jessica breaks down. "Oh my gosh.. Daniel, we've been through so much together. We have six children, and seven grandchildren. We've lost babies, we've worked together.. we have done everything together for the last thirty years. But it's like I don't know you at all. You are a completely different person to me, Danny. What you've done has changed us forever."
"So what are you saying? You wanna go to a therapist? Fine! I'll call someone now."
"No."
"Then what do I have to do?"
"I just need you to leave."
"And then what?"
Jessica looks away and places her hand over her face.
"I'm not going to let you throw away thirty beautiful years, Jessica."
"I'm not. You did that all on your own, Daniel."
Danny looks Jessica in the eyes. Both crying, both having that same pain in their chest.
"This isn't the end of us, Jess."
"You need to leave."
"Where do you want me to go?"
"I don't care."
Danny sighs. "I love you."
Jessica doesn't respond.
"I love you. I love you so much." Danny gets on his knees and presses his cheek against her stomach as he cries.
Jessica fights herself. She couldn't back down.
Jessica then pushed him away and walked towards the door. "Leave."
"What about the kids?"
"I'll handle it. Just go."
Danny leaves and Jessica falls to the ground, sobbing.
Anastasia walks in after hearing her mother.
"Mom? What's wrong? I heard you and dad having disgusting sex, then you guys were yelling. Where did dad go?"
"I don't care."
Anastasia kneels down. "What happened?" She asks.
"Nothing. Go tend to Annie. I'm fine."
"Okay.. you sure?"
"I'm fine, honey. We just had a fight."
"Okay.. I'll be up to check on you in a little while."
"I'll be down in a minute."
Anastasia walks into the hallway where she runs into Isaiah.
"Is that mom crying?"
"Yeah. She said she and dad had a fight but that she's okay."
"I'm gonna check on her."
"I think she wants to be alone."
"I'm gonna check on her!"
"Fine you momma's boy!" Anastasia rolls her eyes.
Isaiah softly knocks on the door before letting himself in.
"Mom?"
Jessica was in the closet getting all of Danny's things and taking them to the bed.
"Oh! Zaya, go downstairs. I'll be there in a little while."
"What's going on?"
"Nothing."
"Ana said you and dad had a fight. Why do you have his clothes?"
"No reason.." Jessica looks down.
"Talk to me."
"It's nothing."
"Momma, you know I'm not gonna back down until you tell me. Please.. What happened?"
Jessica took a deep breath and thought about it for a second. Jessica loved all of her kids, but she had a very special bond with Isaiah. Ever since he was a baby. He has always been a mama's boy. After what Jessica did for him and Emily, the love Isaiah had for his mother grew even bigger.
Jessica felt she could talk to Isaiah about what she and Danny are going through.
"Isaiah." Jessica sighs and sits on the bed.
"Yes?" Isaiah takes her hand.
"I'm gonna tell you, but I don't want you to be angry at your father."
"What did he do?"
Jessica looks down and can't even get the words to come out of her mouth.
"Mom, it's okay."
"I don't know if I should say."
"It's that bad?"
Jessica nods.
"Did he hit you?"
"No."
"Did he.. cheat on you?"
Jessica nods her head once again.
"What? Like he kissed someone?"
Jessica looks down.
"He slept with someone?"
"...Yes."
"What?!"
"He says he was drunk or high, whatever.. but he had sex with another woman, and I don't know if I can ever forgive him for it."
"Where is he?"
"I don't know where he's going ."
"I'm gonna go find him."
"And do what, Isaiah?"
"Kill him."
"Stop that! He's still your father and you'll respect him."
"Like hell! How can you cheat on your wife? Mom, you've given him so much!"
"I know.. Isaiah, I don't what to do. Do I call him? Do I go to counseling.... Do I.. divorce him?"
"I don't know what to say that can help you, momma. But you are the most incredible woman in the world. You deserve to be happy. Whatever you need to do to be happy, I support you. But when I see dad I'm telling him off."
"Zaya.."
"I'm an adult now, mom. I can do whatever I want. And I want to defend my mother."
Jessica leans forward and wraps her arms around her son as she cries.
"I'm so sorry you're going through this momma. You don't deserve this."
"Thank you, baby. Hey listen, don't tell anybody about this, okay? I'll tell them we had a fight and that I told him to stay somewhere else. I just don't want the other kids finding out yet."
"I won't say anything, ma."
"Thank you." Jessica hugs him once again.
"You're welcome.... I knew I was your favorite." Isaiah smiles.
"Oh Zaya!" Jessica laughs softly.

"Mommy, why can't daddy come home?"
"I can't explain it right now, Willow. Please go do your homework. I have a lot on my mind right now, baby."
"I want my daddy!"
Jessica sighs. "I know you do. Please Willow. Go finish your work so I can think."
Willow leaves Jessica alone. Just then she gets a phone call. It was Danny.
Jessica declines his call and walks to the bathroom to take a hot bath.
A few minutes later her phone rings again. This time it's Sarah.
"Hello?" She answers trying her best to sound okay.
"Hey.. How are you?"
"I'm fine! How are you?"
"Good.. Jess?"
"Yeah?"
"Danny's here. I Know."
"Dammit! Why is he there?"
"He didn't want to go to a hotel or to his sister's."
"This is so embarrassing." Jessica sighs and places her palm on her forehead.
"How are you?"
"That was a stupid question, Sarah."
"I know, I'm sorry. You know what? I'm on my way. You need someone right now."
"I'm okay, Sarah."
"I'm on my way!"
"Okay.."
**
Sarah came and she of course brought alcohol.
"Aunt Sarah's here? Mom, what happened? It's obviously something big." Gabriella says. She was worried for her parents.
"Gabby, I just need time away from your father, okay? Married couples need time apart."
"You just spent three weeks apart!"
"It's not enough when you've been married as long as I have. Come on, Sarah. Let's go upstairs."
Gabriella sighed and decided to call her father.
**
"Hello?"
"Hi daddy!"
"Hey Gabby. What's up?"
"I was calling to ask you the same thing. What happened with you and mom?"
"It's between me and your mother, Gabs."
"It had to have been something huge with the way everyone's acting!"
"Gabby, I can't tell you. But I need you to tell your mother to call me, please. Tell her I love her more than anything."
"Okay.." Gabriella was really worried. Her parents have never acted this way before.

Jessica's POV.
"Here. You need the whole bottle to yourself. But don't worry, I have one for myself!" Sarah smiles.
Jessica gives Sarah a look before drinking her wine.
"I'm here for you, Jess. I'm so shocked this is all even happening."
"Same here. Danny has always been so perfect. He's the perfect man! A handsome man, an amazing husband, an incredible father and grandfather. I just don't know how we got here. How do I go back to our old life after this, Sar?"
Sarah sighs. "I just can't imagine yours and Danny's marriage ending."
Jessica looks down and starts crying. "I hate this. I love him so much, Sarah."
"I know you do. And he loves you too!"
"I never doubted Danny's love for me before today."
"Jess.. people make mistakes."
Jessica turns to Sarah with a shocked expression. "What? Am I supposed to act like Danny didn't have sex with another woman, Sarah?!"
"WHAT!" Gabriella swings the door open.
"Gabriella! Go to bed!" Jessica shouts.
"Dad had sex with another woman?!"
Anastasia heard, and so did Noah who was in the hall.
"Dad cheated on you?!" Noah shouts.
"When's his hanging?" Anastasia asks very nonchalantly as she bounces Annabelle.
Jessica rolls her eyes. "I didn't want you kids to know."
"Wait until Isaiah hears about this! He's gonna fucking kill dad!" Gabriella says.
"I already told Isaiah."
"Why did you tell him?"
"It's Zaya." Jessica shrugs.
"Mom, are you two getting a divorce?" Gabriella asks.
"Of course she is! He cheated on her! His dick was in someone else's pussy!"
"Anastasia!" Jessica makes a face.
"They can't get divorced.. Right mom?" Noah asks.
Jessica shakes her head and sighs. "I don't know. I never thought he'd hurt me like this and.. I don't know if I can go on knowing he's been with another woman. Never in my life did I ever think I'd even discuss the possibility of divorcing your father...." Jessica's voice begins to shake as she continues. "But now everything has changed."
