I hope you enjoy this chapter and I hope everyone had a great Easter.
"Mom what's going on?"
"More than I planned. Why don't you take Kenz to Will?"
I looked down at Kenzie, she looked worried.
"I want mommy." She whispered.
"This is not the time or the place." I replied before I picked up Kenzie.
Will walked in about the same time.
"Jennifer is everything okay?" he asked, looking between me and my mom.
"Fine, I think we should take Kenzie home. She is still warm."
"Okay, I'll get our stuff."
"Can you take Kenzie with you?"
"Sure come on Princess." As he reached for her.
Kenzie went to Will with no problems, I watched them walk out before I said anything.
"I am not sure why everyone was waiting on me but you don't have a lot of time to talk."
"I answered the door to your dad, he was going outside I was coming to let you know that he was here."
"We were hoping to talk to you about Jason." Sharon.
"I am sorry for what Jason is going through but I can't be involved."
"It's just that he always talked about how much he loved you and that he would have done anything to get you back. When all this happened he swore to me that he never hurt you, we were just hoping you could tell his lawyers that." Mike explained
"He lied." Will walking back in the room, minus Kenzie and mad.
"Where is Kenzie?"
"Your Aunt Carol wanted her to say goodbye to a couple of people, she is going to bring her to us." He explained.
"What does he mean he lied?" Sharon asked.
"Jason, lied to you about us and I am sorry but he did hurt me."
"You are lying, he is enough trouble." Sharon.
"Sharon." Mike
"You know what Jennifer you were never good enough for him. You were probably cheating on him the last time you were together, it explains why your little girl is not his."
"Your right Kenzie is not his and Will is her daddy. I don't care what you think about me the fact is that Jason did abuse me and it started long before Kenzie or Will."
She went to say something else but my Mom stopped her.
"Sharon, you will not saying anything else to my daughter. I want to make it very clear that your son was never good enough for her, you can walk away right now."
"Maybe if you would have worried more about what your boy was doing and not what was going on in everyone else's home you would have seen this coming Sharon. Our three kids have made more of lives then most people in this town ever do." My dad told her.
I was surprised he had said anything.
"Like you had anything to do with how your kids turned out. Sandy raised them by herself." Sharon
"Your right and Sandy raised three amazing kids."
"What's going on?" Uncle Mark as he walked in the room.
He stopped and looked at Sharon and Mike but then stared at my dad.
"Nothing, Will and I are taking Kenzie back to moms so we are getting ready to leave." I told him.
"Sharon I heard Carol tell you Jen was going to be here, I also heard her ask you not to bring up Jason or anything going on with that boy." Mark told them.
"You are right and we are both sorry. Jen, I had no idea what he had done to you honestly I was almost hoping that pretty little girl of yours was his but I can see now that she isn't." Mike told me.
"You are both trying to help him, I do understand that. I wish I could tell you something different but I can't."
We watched as Sharon and Mike walked away from us.
"Jen, Will neither of you have to leave. If you wanted to lay Kenz in one of the beds you could, I promise both of you that nothing else will happen."
"Thank you for the offer but it's probably best to take Kenzie back to Sandy's." Will told him.
"We are not leaving until Monday maybe if Kenz feels better tomorrow we can get together."
"That would be great, Carol and I both would like to see the three of you again before you leave. I will have Carol bring Kenzie told you. Sandy I'll talk to you in a little bit." He told her.
"It was nice to meet you." Will shaking his hand.
"You to son."

Once he walked away I turned to look at my parents, Will stood by me putting his hand on my back.
"Your mom didn't know I was going to show up here and I didn't know you were here." My dad started.
"Thank you for standing up for me but I honestly don't know if I want to hear what you have to say."
"You don't have to thank me. I understand but I really do want you to think about it, I am not asking you for forgive me for anything. I would just like the chance to explain things to you."
"I need to think about it more. Why did you come here then?" I was curious.
"I was hoping to talk to your mom some more and honestly hoping that you and your brother and sister had changed your minds. Jen I meant it when I said you made more of yourself then most people around here."
"I can't speak for Lauren or Chris if they have changed their minds but I never really made up mine. Mom and I talked last night and you don't need to explain anything to me."
"I would still like the chance to get to talk to you."
"I'll think about it."
"Jen, here come's Carol and Kenzie." My mom told us.
Kenzie had her head on Carol's shoulder, she looked both tired and upset.
"Did something happen?" I asked looking at my Aunt.
"More in here then out there but yes." She replied looking at my dad.
Kenzie reached for Will, he immediately took her.
"What happened?" My mom asked.
"Sharon came outside upset and yelling. She didn't say names but said some things she shouldn't have said; I think it scared Kenzie hearing her yell." Carol explained.
"She said bad word." Kenzie whispered.
I stood there for a minute deciding if I wanted to go outside or just leave.
"Jen, you and Will take Kenzie back to the house. If anyone is making a scene with her it will be me and not you." My mom told me.
"Kenzie did you tell Aunt Carol by?." I asked.
"Yes."
"Will it was nice to meet you. I am sorry this ended badly."
"It was nice to meet you too."
"I told Uncle Mark that if Kenzie was feeling better maybe we could get together tomorrow."
"Absolutely, be safe going back to your moms." Carol before she went back outside.
"I am going to take her to the car." Will told me.
"I'll be right out." As he walked out the door.
"Mom please don't start anything."
"I won't but she better not say a word."
"Great. I'll see you at the house. Dad I'll think about it."

The car ride to my mom's was silent once we were home, I gave Kenzie some more medicine before laying her back down on the couch. Will had sat down at the kitchen table.
"You both cuddle with me." Kenzie asked me.
"Let me get Will and we both can." As I handed her Bolo.
"Okay."
I walked back into the kitchen, I could see that he was still mad.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"Didn't Kenzie ask you to cuddle?"
"She asked for both of us to cuddle with her. I just wasn't sure if you wanted to talk first."
"I do want to talk but not right now."
"Okay, then let's cuddle with our daughter." I said it more to see how it sounded but his face lit up.
"Come on." As he grabbed my hand.
Kenzie laid on my chest while Will laid on his side rubbing her back; she fell asleep quickly.
"I realized earlier that whenever she is tired, she wants you." I told him.
"Yeah, she looked so confused when Carol said something about her daddy."
"She was she asked me about it in the bathroom. She thought Carol was saying that you were Carol's daddy. I explained that she was talking about you being Kenzie's daddy."
"How did she take that?"
"She liked it. Do you remember in the cabin when you asked if Kenzie and I had a secret?"
"A little bit."
"She had asked me if you were going to be her daddy like Hotch is Jack's daddy. I told her I didn't know yet but that you loved her and would keep her safe. She told me just like Uncle Hotch does Jack."
"Why didn't you tell me that?"
"I don't really know, I guess at the time if I didn't believe it and then you had changed your mind it would have been easier."
"You are stuck with me."
"I know and I wouldn't have it any other way. Do you want to talk about earlier?"
"When I walked back in and heard him talking about how much he loved you and he would do anything to get you back it went through me. All I could see was you being hurt."
"I think he knows about Kenzie; I was afraid he was going to actually say it."
"I do to especially after he apologized but he also looked extremely mad at his wife. Can I ask why you never told them other than him?"
"Sharon tries to take everything over. She did it with both Jason and Shelby anything they participated in they had to be the best at it or she would be the volunteer mother so they were the stars; she would have tried to take over with Kenz and then my life. I love that Kenzie loves coming here to visit but this is not where I wanted her to be raised."
"I can see her trying to take control, that's why she flipped out today."
"Probably, most people around here do whatever she asked them to do because they have money, I think she thought I would be the same way."
"She was wrong. What are you going to do about your dad?"
"I honestly have no clue. Part of me what's to talk to him and the other part wants to tell him to go away."
"You need answers even if it's just the little girl in you."
We both heard a car pull into the driveway, I knew it was to early for mom to be back, we both got up and I laid Kenzie back on the couch, when we heard the other car pull up. We both went to the door.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
