So I've decided to carry this on for a while and see where it goes as I've had people asking for me to continue it or post a new Jonnie fic as my others finished with... Let me know what you think and if there's anything specifically you'd like me to put into this! Thank you to the people who followed/favourited/reviewed especially Charlotte, who I apologise to for making cry after recovering from the ep ;)

Jacob woke to see Connie already sat up in the bed staring off into the distance. He placed a hand on her thigh but seemed to get no response from her. "Sweet cheeks?" Jacob lifted himself up so that he looked across at her.

Connie finally moved her gaze to Jacob who had a worried look etched across his face. "Hmm, sorry?" Jacob shook his head as he kept his hand resting on her thigh. Although she was looking at him, it was as though she wasn't really paying attention to anything around her.

Jacob moved from the bed causing Connie to look up at him and reach for his hand. "Jacob…" He let his eyes fall back to her as she let go of his hand. "Don't leave me, please-" "Connie." He knelt back against the bed as she sat down pulling her knees to her chest. "I know that if I try and make Grace want to stay, I'll lose you-" "You really think after everything I said to you last night I'd go?"

He noticed how serious Connie was being. She was genuinely scared about losing him, why did she always think the worst? Jacob placed a hand to her cheek as a tear rolled down her face. "You're the best thing to ever walk into my life Connie." She placed her hand on top of his closing her eyes and feeling his lips press to her forehead.

Connie sighed as his arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her into his lap. She rested her head against his chest listening to the steady beating of his heart. His hand slowly moving up and down her back helped to soothe her as they sat together. Connie fell asleep against his chest causing a smile to break across his face. He carefully lay back down letting Connie curl into him as she slept once again.

A few hours later the sunlight crept in through the window, enlightening the bed. Jacob woke realising Connie was still encased in his arms. He pressed a kiss to the top of her head before manoeuvring his way from the bed to the bathroom. Jacob pulled on a shirt and some jogging bottoms before wandering downstairs to see Grace smiling at him from the living room.

"Morning-" "Hey Jacob, is Mum still asleep?" He nodded as he leant against the side in the kitchen looking across to her. Grace jumped up off the sofa and walked towards the kitchen counter. She folded her arms and rested her head on them as Jacob turned around. "Can you cook?" Jacob glanced out the corner of his eye at Grace. "Maybe..."

Jacob smiled as he pressed the switch starting to make some coffee. Grace smiled as she noticed Jacob turn back and face her, his arms crossed against his chest. "Can we make pancakes? Me and Mum used to do it all the time, I want to take them up to her." He thought about it for a moment before nodding. "I don't see why not." An even larger smile spread across Grace's face as she moved into the kitchen and helped Jacob get everything they needed.

By the time Connie had woken up they were well into making breakfast. She could hear noise coming from downstairs as she sat up in bed. Glancing around the room she noticed Jacob must be with Grace so pulled on her dressing gown and wandered down.

She stood in the entrance to the kitchen to see Jacob standing behind Grace, his hands on top of hers as they flipped the pancake. Grace smiled and laughed when she caught it, Jacob took a step back passing her a plate. Connie looked into the kitchen and was filled with several emotions, none of which Jacob and Grace had planned.

That was what they used to do together yet Grace didn't seem to care. "Morning sweet cheeks…" Jacob looked up realising she was standing in the doorway. "You were supposed to be asleep-" "Well I'm not am I?" Jacob frowned unsure as to why she sounded so annoyed. "Mum, Jacob helped me make pancake-" "I can see that, well you clearly don't need me around."

Connie turned back around and headed upstairs as Jacob winked at Grace sitting her down. He made sure everything as turned off before running up the stairs after her. "Hey-" "Don't hey me Jacob. Do you really think I'm that incapable?" Jacob stopped where he was before moving closer to her and trying to wrap his arms around her.

She pushed his hands away from her and crossed the room. "You can't just think you can replace me down there with my daughter-" "Connie that's not what I was doing, you'll always be her Mum." Connie scoffed as she faced him. "Well it looked like you were pretty cosy down there! When I said I wanted my daughter home it wasn't so that I could stand back and watch everyone push me out of it!"

Jacob began to get angered himself as she barely let him get a word in. "Would you shut up for five minutes!?" "Don't. I am not in the mood-" "When are you ever in the mood? All you do is think you know everything, well you don't." Connie kept her eyes on him as he dropped his hands. "You know what if this is how things tend to be, I'm not surprised…"

He trailed off but she already knew what he was going to say. "What? Not surprised that everyone leaves? That my daughter ran to her father in America because I couldn't care less about her? Is that it? You think that I can't take care of my daughter-" "That is not what I was saying Connie and you know I would never say that!" She walked past him as he grabbed her wrist trying to stop her. "You can't just walk away from me-" "Watch me."

She pulled her hand away from him and headed into the bathroom while Jacob sat down on the end of the bed rubbing his hand across his forehead. He could hear her crying through the bathroom door and sighed to himself. Jacob got up and knocked on the bathroom door. "Open the door-" "Just go Jacob."

He pushed the handle down and opened the door to see Connie sitting on the floor, her back against the wall. "I said go Jacob, I don't need you to stick around-" "That's not what you said this morning, and I know which part of you I believe more." He sat down beside her wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "What if I can't do it? She was happy down there, with you not me. We used to make breakfast together and she'd already asking you because she thinks I can't make time."

Jacob shook his head. "That's not true… She asked me to help her make breakfast for you, wanted to bring it up before you woke up." Connie closed her eyes dropping her head to his chest. He held onto her realising just how insecure she was. "If it makes you feel better than I'll leave the breakfast making to you-" "No, Jacob I'm sorry… I shouldn't have snapped at you like that."

He smiled offering her a hand up. Confusing spread across her face as he pulled her up. "What-" "There's a little girl down there waiting to cook for her Mum." Connie smiled briefly before running her hands across her cheeks wiping the tears away before taking his hand and going downstairs.

Within a few minutes Jacob was watching as Connie stood with Grace laughing. He never expected things to be easy in life, but it was just dawning on him how hard this was all going to be. He watched on not being able to stop himself falling for the woman before him even more. She could kick and scream all she liked, he didn't plan on going anywhere.
