Days has past since Jon last heard from Dylan. He'd always see little Elijah running around the house, but they way he was running he didn't seem like his normal self. Every chance he'd get he would look up and he would hope that someday, Dylan would come back down the stairs. He knew the grieving process would be long, he DID go through it. Once. He looked down and he pulled out of his pocket a chain with his wedding ring from his first wife. He held onto it tightly just thinking about it sent chills down his spine. "Uncle Jon?"
Jon looked at the little boy and he said "Yeah little man?"
"Is mommy gonna be OK?"
Jon couldn't find the right words to tell the little boy. So, he sighed and he said "Mommy's a trooper. She'll pull through"
"Mommy said that I'll be like daddy when I grow up" Elijah said and a single tear fell from his eye. Jon looked at Elijah and he saw that the little 4 year old would definitely be like his dad. He smiled and he ruffled the little boy's hair and he said "Definitely. Your daddy was an amazing man and I'm Lucky to have known him as long as I did"
Elijah slightly smiled and then, he walked outside. Jon watched and he saw the little boy open the door and played on the playset. He had to talk to Dylan, it was hurting him that she still wont talk to him. But before he could go and talk to her, he heard the doorbell ring. He stood up and he made his way to the door. He opened it and he saw Seth and his little boy standing there. "Hey man" Seth said with a smile.
"Hi" Jon said. Then, Seth came in. "Daddy Elijah's outside" Damien said.
"Go on bud" Seth said. Damien went outside with Elijah and Seth and Jon sat down at the couch.
"How's she doing?" Seth asked.
"I was just going upstairs to talk to her. Tell her about Emily" Jon said and when he said it Seth was stunned.
"Youre gonna start talking about it now?" Seth asked.
"I have too," Jon said. "Dylan needs to know that I do understand what shes going through"
Seth nodded his head as Jon stood up and said "Please watch Elijah?"
"I'll have eyes on my son and Dylan's son like a hawk"
Then, Jon went upstairs. He went to Dylan's door and he opened it only to find Dylan standing in front of him. She still had on Phil's sweatshirt and her hair was messy. "Have you been eating?" Jon asked. Dylan pointed to the bed and he saw that there were family size bags of Lays. "Well do you want something to eat? Like an actual meal?" Jon asked her and she nodded her head 'yes'. Then, Jon brought her downstairs and she went to the couch. Seth saw her and he went over to her after Jon told him he'd be back. Once Jon left, Dylan went to grab the TV remote but Seth took it from her. He gave her a smug look and he said "Look at you"
Dylan gave him a weird look and she asked him "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Seth said sarcastically. Then, he stood up and he said "Just looking at you right now makes me sick"
Dylan just gave Seth a weird look. "Seth what're you talking about?"
"You look so pathetic right now" Seth said with a smirk. "Mourning over the loss of your sorry excuse for a man husband. No wonder why you two were such a match made in nerd heaven"
Dylan gave Seth a dirty look and she said "You got alot of balls talking to me like that, boy"
"Why? You can't hit me. You're what? Almost 6 months pregnant?" Seth asked her, and the way he said it he was so arrogant about it. Dylan was scared. "Seth, why are you acting like this?"
Seth just stood above Dylan and he said "Ever wonder who your real friends are?"
Dylan just stared at him and Seth said "These past few days I had to see Jon freak out about your well being because you just lost your sorry excuse of a husband-"
Dylan stood up and she slapped Seth hard across his face. After a moment of shock, Seth turned to Dylan as she said "Don't you ever disrespect the father of my two children. He has been more of a man than i'm pretty sure you've ever been. I want you out of my house immediately"
Then, Jon came in with Dylan's food. He saw the standoff and he asked them both "Standoff much?"
Seth just looked at Dylan and then he left. Jon looked at Seth leaving the house and he said "I'll keep Damien here until tomorrow"
Then, Seth drove away. Jon looked at Dylan, who just turned back to the television.
