It was later the same day, Nash went for a walk and happened to see Antonio with Jamie in Angel Square. Nash smiled at the sight. Jamie was a cute kid. Antonio saw Nash and went up to him.
"
Hey," Antonio said.
" Hi," Nash said.
" How's Tess?" Antonio asked.
" Fine, I suppose," Nash answered," I feel like she just wants to take off. I told her why we had to stay."
" And?" Antonio asked.
" I made a promise," Nash told him," I can't break it. Not even if Tess wants me to, even if I want to. I know you miss Jessica."
" Yeah I do," Antonio said," You don't seem happy that Tess is here."
" I love Tess," Nash admitted," But I know Jessica is there too. This is all so confusing still. Maybe I need to go away."
Nash began to walk away, but Antonio stopped him.
" You don't have to leave," Antonio told him," I know I haven't made it easy on you."
" I haven't made it easy on you either, Antonio," Nash admitted," I think we can get along for Jessica's sake, or Tess's."
Jamie looked at the two of them.
" Daddy," Jamie said.
" What is it Jamie?" Antonio asked looking at his daughter.
" I want to see Jessica," Jamie answered.
" I told you princess," Antonio said," Jessica is sick."
" I still want to see her," Jamie said," Please daddy."
Nash and Antonio looked at one another.
" It couldn't hurt," Nash said," I don't have a problem with it."
Nash and Antonio walked with Jamie back to Llanfair.
Meanwhile, Tess was in the living room.
" Tess," she heard.
Tess turned and looked in the mirror.
" Go away Jessica," Tess said," I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."
" You can't get rid of me that easily," Jessica said," I will always be here, even if Nash did decide to run off with you."
" You got to Nash," Tess said," He made you a stupid promise."
" Nash cares," Jessica said," About both of us."
" I don't want to hear it," Tess said holding her head.
" You know it's true," Jessica said.
" No," Tess said looking down.
Vicki happened to walk into the room.
" Tess?" Vicki asked.
" Mom," Jessica said.
" Jessie?" Vicki asked.
Jessica shook her head.
Vicki hugged her and the door opened and in walked Antonio, Nash, and Jamie.
" Hello Tess," Antonio said.
" Antonio it's me," Jessica said.
Antonio went up to her and hugged her.
" Jess," Antonio said," I missed you."
Jamie hugged Jessica too. Nash happened to smile at what he saw. Jessica smiled at him.
" Nash," Jessica said," I'm sorry."
" It's okay," Nash said," I'm still here and I am right where I want to be."
" Thank you," Jessica told him," It does mean a lot to me that you're here."
Nash began to walk towards the door.
" Don't leave," Jessica said stopping him," Mom, can Nash stay here awhile?"
" No problem," Vicki said," Nash can stay as long as he likes."
" That's very thoughtful of you Mrs. Davidson," Nash said," But I can stay at the hotel. I am right where I need to be and I am not leaving. I'm not going anywhere."
Jessica smiled again. Antonio smiled too. He was not fond of Nash, but glad that he was there. Jessica did need Nash too and all of the support she could get.
The End.
