Several days have passed and Tess was still in control. Vicki and Clint convinced Tess to stay at Llanfair. Tess only agreed if Nash stayed there too. Nash stayed in one of the guest rooms, he was glad to have Tess back, but in his own way he missed Jessica.
Meanwhile, Antonio was with Jamie, who kept asking about Jessica.
" Jessica is sick," Antonio told her," She'll come by when she feels better."
" I miss her," Jamie said.
" Yeah," Antonio said," I miss her too."
Antonio smiled though because he did have a miracle in Jamie.
Back at Llanfair, Tess was getting dressed when she heard a knock on the door.
" Yes," Tess said.
The door opened and Vicki came in.
" Good morning Tess," Vicki said," Do you want some breakfast?"
Tess just looked at Vicki.
" You need to keep up your strength for you and the baby," Vicki told her, " Please?"
" I'll be down in a few minutes," Tess said.
Vicki left.
" Don't pretend you care," Tess thought," You just want your precious Jessica back."
Another knock came to the door and Tess looked out to see Nash.
" Nash," Tess said hugging him," Why don't we leave? Let's get out of here."
" Tess," Nash said," You know we can't leave."
" Because of Jessica," Tess said," Ugh, princess Jessica. Why would you care" I'm here. Let's go back to where we belong."
" We belong here," Nash told her.
" I don't," Tess told him," Jessica does. You're my family Nash."
Nash hugged her and Tess accepted it. She wanted to leave and she didn't understand why Nash wanted to stay so badly. Tess than pulled away.
" What?" Nash asked her.
" Why do you want to stay here?" Tess asked him.
" I made a promise," Nash said," If you came out, I would not run away with you."
" Promises are meant to be broken," Tess said," Let's go. Please?"
In a way Nash did want to leave so he could be with Tess, and maybe she was right. Then he thought about Jessica.
" This is so hard to take in," Nash thought," Maybe I should leave, but Jessica/Tess needs all the support she can get. I can't leave I have to help in any way I can."
