Ok, this was a hard chapter for me. I hope you all understand why I did what I did.

Chapter Twenty Eight

For 2 long weeks Jessica and Randy enjoyed the wonders of Hawaii with lots of Sun, Sea and Sex.

"I can't believe we have to leave." Jess said as they got ready to leave.

"I know. But maybe we can bring the twins here soon."

"I can't wait to see them."

"Jess, you talked to them on the phone every single day we were here in between the beach, shopping and the sex."

"But they're my babies." Jesse laughed. "So hush."

"Hushing." Randy smiled.

"Randy..." Jessica said.

"Jessica?"

"I uhh have something to tell you."

"What's that?" Randy asked looking at her.

"I'm pregnant." She smiled.


Dave had been looking after the twins for 2 weeks. He wasn't used to having 3 year olds running around the house. They were running around right now screaming and yelling at each other. Dave was sitting in the darkness of his den. Angela knocked on the door.

"Dave, are you ok?" She asked.

Dave looked at her and smiled weakly. "I'm fine."

"Do you want anything?"

"No."

Angela was about to leave when Dave spoke again.

"How am I going to tell my sister Angie?"

"I don't know Dave. I really don't."

"She's going to be heartbroken."

"She'll be home soon. Why don't you go over there. Leave the twins here."

Dave nodded. He picked up the letter and left the house.


Jessica and Randy were home now. They were sorting through mail when the door knocked. Randy opened it to see Dave.

"Hey big man, come in."

Dave walked in a closed the door. His sister smiled at him.

"Hey big bro." She said giving him a tight hug.

"Hey sister." Dave said. He almost didn't want to tell her.

"Jess, I have something to tell you..." Dave said.

"Oh Jess, tell Dave our good news." Randy said.

"Ohh, guess what Dave." She said. She didn't wait for him to answer though. "I'm pregnant!"

Dave half smiled. "That's great Jess." He said.

"Jessica. I need to tell you something." He said again.

"What is it Dave?" She asked looking with concern at him.

"While you were away..something happened..." He trailed off. His eyes filled up.

"What happened Dave?" She said getting more worried.

"It's...Eddie...he...he passed away." Dave said as tears slipped from his eyes.

Jessica stopped and stared. "What?" She asked unable to believe it.

"Eddie passed away. He had heart failure caused by heart disease. No one knew he had it."

"No, you can't be serious." Jessica said as tears fell hard and fast from her eyes.

Randy came over and hugged her. He was shocked.

"I'm so sorry Jess." Dave said.

"NO! HE CAN'T BE GONE." She sobbed. "He just can't be."

Dave started crying harder. "He left you this." He said handing her a letter.

Jessica took it and ran upstairs. Randy squeezed Dave's shoulder and went after him.

Jessica ran into her bedroom and slid down the wall sobbing. Randy sat on the floor next to her and hugged her tight.

"He can't be gone Randy. I never got to thank him for the wedding. For being there for me." She sobbed.

"It's ok Jess. It's ok. I'm here." Randy said hugging her tighter as she sobbed harder.
