"Mommy!"
Rory rushed through the kitchen, heading to the playroom where her three year old son, Jake, was playing. "Jake, what's wrong?" She asked her son with a worried expression on her face.
"I fell." He said, a tear rolling down his face as he pointed to his elbow.
"Ah, Honey, you've got to be more careful." Rory said, walking over and scrunching down to a toddler's height. "If I kiss it, will it make you feel better?" She asked him. Jake nodded, trying not to smile. Lifting up Jake, Rory pecked a kiss on Jake's smooth elbow.
"Mus better!" He said with joy, trying to wriggle out of his mother's arms. Slowly, Rory put him down and he ran off to play with his toys. "Where's daddy?" Jake asked, turning around to face Rory. "Work." Rory lied to her son. Logan was usually gone most of the day, every day. He wasn't exactly one to be married. He always came home at three in the morning, smelling like cheep perfume and alcohol.
Rory's thoughts were interrupted by tugging on Rory's dress. "I wanna go to park." Jake said, putting his thumb into his mouth.
"I'm going out, Kate!" Jess yelled to his wife. He needed air. His calls with Rory had continued since the first conversation. Usually during the night, but there were those weird times when it was in the middle of the day.
"Uh-huh. Be back for dinner, babe. Love you!" Kate yelled out. She was talking on the phone. Jess had stopped saying 'I love you' to Kate. He couldn't lie to her like that. Slamming the door behind him, Jess made his way down the apartment stairs. He opened the doors when he reached the bottom, leading him out onto the busy streets of New York.
"Go play with the other kids. I'll be right here, okay?" Rory told Jake as she buttoned up his coat to protect him from the November wind. "Okays, Mommy." Jake said as he ran off to join the other kids. Rory smiled, noticing how much he reminded her of Jess. That was what hurt the most
Sitting down on a bench, Rory sighed with frustration. She hated how she just let him run off like that… again. She should've gone after him. He had no reason the leave. It was his job to come back, but no. Rory had to raise their baby by herself. Well, maybe she would've had to… She could've just called him between the nine months which she was growing fatter and fatter, but no. Instead, being the stubborn women that she is, she filed for a divorce.
Looking away for a split second, Rory could've sworn she saw him… No… he lived in Philly, didn't he? Shaking her head, telling herself she just say someone who looked like him, Rory put on her headphones, turning on a song that had come on her iPod much too often.
Jess stuffed his hands into his pockets as a gust of wind hit him. It was much too cold for November. No, he took that back. It was always cold in New York. Shaking his head, he forgot about the thoughts of coldness. Reaching a spot where he usually spent his Sunday's at, Jess smirked.
A playground wasn't exactly the best place for some reading, but it suited Jess fine. Taking his book out of his back pocket, he sat down on a vacant bench. Before opening the ever famous 'Howl', he looked around the park. Before he could notice anything peculiar, a kid ran up to him.
"Hi!" The little toddler told Jess. Looking around, Jess looked for someone that looked like the kid's parents.
"Uh… Hi."
The toddler just kept smiling.
"Are you lost?" Jess finally asked.
"No."
"Where are your parents?" Jess asked, a bit confused.
"My mommy's over dere." The kid pointed to a young woman, perhaps… twenty-five? A young woman that Jess thought was oddly familiar.
"Do you…" He started, "Want me to bring you over to her?" What the hell had gotten into him? Asking a toddler if they were lost… He was going crazy.
"Swure." He said, with a grin on his face. They kid looked familiar. "I Jake." Jake told him.
"Jess." Jess told the toddler.
Before Jess could get up, Jake had grabbed him by the coat sleeve and tried to drag him. Getting up, Jess followed the toddler, looking around at the pointing parents.
Rory had only looked up a couple of times to check on Jake, but nothing more. It was growing dark and Logan would… hopefully calling to say he was on his way home. The key word 'hope'. Sighing, Rory took of her headphones, putting them in her purse before looking up to see Jake and the one man that should thought she would never see again.
"Jess."
