Paris: Siene River

After Charlie had confronted Jenny about who he was and she still refused to answer, he was flustered as to his next step. Should he stay with Jenny, who had taken care of him for a year after his accident or go to Jennifer, who he must have had a relationship with before his accident, he must have loved her but the pain in his head began to cloud his judgement.

He started to walk, He wasn't even paying attention to where he was going until he found himself in front of the Siene River and sat down on a bench, he had been there many times with Jenny but something about this spot seemed so familiar, He stared out at the cold water, feeling lost.

"Hey Stranger," a familiar voice called out to him, Charlie smiled

"How did you know I was here?', He asked surprised, She knew him so well, it was almost like they were attached at the mindset.

"Actually, I was on my way here. This was a favorite spot of Ours," Jennifer said sitting beside him.

"Are you positive that I'm your husband," He said quietly, He didn't want to disappoint her if he wasn't who Jennifer thought he was, the truth was, He wanted to feel like he belonged to someone or somewhere, to know he had a past that mattered and that he was loved.

"I don't know what I'm positive about anymore but you look so much like him," Jennifer stopped touching his face and put her hand on his chest and heart, "My heart says that you are Jonathan,"

" I wish I knew if I were him, it would make life so much easier but you could help me by telling me about him, it might help jog my memory," Charlie held her hand, he felt a familiar spark and he smiled quickly.

Jennifer took a deep, "What do you want to know? personality? His or rather your childhood, His success at Everything, Jonathan had the Midas touch and his compassion for others was amazing"

"Anything," He was so desperate for information that might jog his memory or at least a flash.

"Well, let's see, there's so much to tell," She honestly didn't know what to say to him, it might have been the first time in their marriage, she was at a loss for words, she supposed she could have started at the way beginning, Mission Street Orphanage but Jonathan rarely spoke about that time in his life, only that he wished that he could have had a better childhood, parents to love him. It was a source of pain for him and she never wanted him to feel that he was that scared little kid ever again.

"Tell me about this spot," He offered her an out seeing her being flustered, pointing to the Water and the surrounding park.

"It was at a Costume Party, held by one of the richest widows in Paris, Seraphina Benson, who was quite eccentric but such fun, she threw the best costume parties and I had gone dressed as Poison Ivy because she'd insisted that with my red hair, I couldn't possibly pull off Bat-Girl or the Girl from UNCLE. I had the most beautiful flowers in my hair and wore a green leotard so tight, well it was amazing I was able to get blood to my face," She laughed," Somehow Seraphina convinced me to go on this huge couch that was carried in by Men in Loincloths and when they carried me, everybody cheered and suddenly people started rushing toward me, the men I guess got spooked and started jerking the couch, it tipped and I nearly fell off, Suddenly I was swept up by a strange man in a Zorro Mask, He carried me through this crowd without a word and When He finally put me down, it was in this spot. It was also the first time We kissed," She smiled

"It was the Lone Ranger," He said slowly, "I had come dressed as the Lone Ranger," He wasn't sure where that had come from but that story sounded familiar

"It was! Oh, my god! Are you back?" She jumped into his arms but was disappointed when he didn't immediately respond. She immediately felt embarrassed and stepped back

He didn't know what to say to her, he wanted so much to be Jonathan she wanted him to be but he didn't see how he could when he couldn't even remember who he was.

She could feel the tears pouring out of her eyes, staring out at the Siene, she finally realized what she needed to do for both her and Zara.

Jennifer let go.

"I have a meeting in the Morning and then I'm leaving for California in the Afternoon." She said quietly. "You've obviously created a life for yourself here in Paris and I can't force you to become something you are not, which is Jonathan, just as I know he would not ask me to give up on that was so important to me. I guess I wanted so much for Jonathan to come back, that I didn't realize the consequences it would cause. " Jennifer wiped her eyes

"I want so much to be Jonathan, to know myself but I just feel so lost in my head that I don't know what to do," He said taking her hand and using his thumb, he erased her tears.

"I love you," She kissed his face and walked away.

"I love you too," He said to her back.

Charlie walked for hours, wondering how things became so out of control, how he could possibly love two women at the same time and he also thought of Baby Zara, a chance that a daughter of his could grow up and not know who her father was made his heart hurt.

He knew what it was like to grow up alone and he wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Charlie found himself back at Jennifer's hotel, He wasn't sure why or even how but something made him want to see her again. Charlie went to her room and knocked.

She'd just come out of the shower and was drying her hair when she heard the door and adjusting her robe, she answered the door.

Jennifer was surprised to see him and stepped aside to let him, she figured they could talk and maybe she remind him of his memories with her.

Except he had other things on his mind and they didn't involve memories, He pulled her face toward his and kissed her with his being, her entire body was on fire and she wanted more. His desire for her outpaced any conversation that they could have ever have and he need to have sex with her, it didn't matter he was making love to a stranger that just happened to be his wife.

Jennifer pulled her face back for a second, "Are you sure,"

Charlie paused for a moment too, "Do you want me to stop?"

She laughed, "Not at all," He kissed her again and then pushed her down on the bed, He had a flash of having this moment before and it sent a sharp pain in his head

"Are you okay?" She was concerned, she was also very naked, the robe had fallen over when he'd pushed her onto the bed.

He smiled and laid down on top of her, "I'm fine," and kissed her and made love to her until she passed out from exhaustion, He watched her sleep and realized something but there was something he needed to do first.

The Next Morning, Jennifer woke up early, happy for the first time in almost a year and excited to see Charlie beside her but when she turned to her side, she was surprised to find her bed empty, wrapping herself in the bedsheet she thought maybe Charlie had gone to the bathroom and fell asleep, She'd caught Jonathan doing that a few times, sometimes he'd be exhausted from an all-nighter at the office and sit down on the toilet to brush his teeth, leaning back he'd close his eyes and just fall asleep.

Except He wasn't in the bathroom and considering that the room wasn't that big, there wasn't any other place he could be. Jennifer became angry, picking up a glass from the bathroom sink, she smashed it against the wall and began to cry.

And decided that she would go right from the meeting to the airport and go home. Jennifer got dressed slowly and decided that she would call home, she missed Max and Zara so much, but she knew that Zara was in the best possible hands.

Max, who'd claimed that the only kid he ever liked was Jonathan and he came Potty trained, instantly fell in love with Zara, from the moment she was born and she too, there wasn't a moment they weren't together, Jennifer supposed she should feel jealous that another person had an almost maternal relationship with her daughter but she didn't because she understood that for Max, Zara was the closest thing to Jonathan he'd ever get again and he wanted to make sure that Zara always knew that she was loved and who her Daddy was.

And Max also said she was the best lucky charm ever.

Because from the moment that Jennifer went back to work, Max took Zara everywhere including the Track, he would carry the car seat inside, where it stayed temperature control and Zara would watch the horses go around, occasionally Max would ask her to point to which horse she thought would win and as young as she was, she would point and Max would come out a winner, giving half of it to Zara's piggy bank.

Max said she was better than any bookie he ever had and much cuter.

Jennifer, using her Computer to Facetime Max, tried not to show the sadness in her face, she wasn't an actress but she was willing to fake it for the sake of Max and Zara.

"E'llo," Max's face came through the screen, he looked as if he were in the kitchen, it must have been Lunch time in Los Angeles while it was Breakfast in Paris.

"Hey! Max!" She said cheerfully

"Mrs. H, How's Paris," Max moved his screen so that she could see both Max and Zara, it had taken several lessons with the kid down the street before Max finally learned that Facetime didn't involve ceiling shots

"Wonderful, the meetings are going great and I've gotten some great shopping," What she wanted to say was that Jonathan was alive but didn't have a clue who she was and that she wished she could curl up and cry herself unconscious but no sense in making Max miserable and feel guilty half way around the world.

Except that Max knew her better than that, He saw the pain in her eyes and wanted to ask her about it but knowing Jennifer as he did, if she didn't want to tell him, she wouldn't.

"I'm glad, here's Zara!" He pointed his screen toward the Baby, who was sitting in her high chair with what looked like red sauce covering her body and was chewing on a piece of bread, "Zara, It's Mama!"

"Mamamma," Zara babbled reaching her hands out to hug her

"Hi Baby!," Jennifer said, "I miss you! Are you being good for Poppa,"

Zara reached for her harder and when she didn't get a Mama hug, she began to cry which made Jennifer feel even worse.

"Mama will be home soon," Jennifer said trying not to cry.

"It's okay, Mrs. H, she's probably tired," Max said turning the screen back to himself.

"Okay, Um, I guess I'll let you both, I'll see you tomorrow," She said turning off her screen.

She'd just started to cry when the phone rang, "Hello," She said quietly.

"Mrs. Hart, there's a message for you at the desk with a very large arrangement for you," Edward, the Concierge answered.

"Can you have them sent up, please?" She was emotionally exhausted and physically exhausted as well.

"Right away, Ma'am." He hung.

Jennifer washed her face and finished getting dressed when the someone at the door knocked, "Coming!"

She opened the door to find a bellboy holding roses with a note.

"Mrs. Hart?" He asked

"Yes," She said, taking the flowers and note, she tipped the bellboy and sat down on the bed, Jennifer opened the note.

"J,

Of all the Gin Joints in the world, you had to walk into mine and I'm glad.

Meet me at our spot by the river and then we'll go home together."

Jonathan"

She became excited and ran to get dressed, he was back!

Jenny's Apartment

Jonathan took a deep breath, He had to break up with Jenny so he could go home to Jennifer, Zara and Max. He was still angry over the fact that for a year, Jenny had lied to him but he knew that she'd only done what was in his best interest.

Or so he hoped.

He knocked on her door and when she answered, it wasn't like with Jennifer who excited him, it was a sense of dread and he was sure this was going to be a conversation that would end badly.

Jenny let him in without a word and went to her bar to pour herself a drink, "I see you've calmed down,"

"I have," he answered quietly "And I've made some decisions, You and I are never going to be good for each other. There's no trust and I can't be with someone I can't trust, I'm sorry,"

Jenny took a sip from her glass and stared at him for a few minutes, "There's someone else isn't there?"

He nodded, "Yes," He didn't want to give Jenny anymore information to hurt her, "I'm sorry but I'm in love with someone else, who's wonderful, amazing, so smart and makes me so much better than I am or ever was, and knows who I am, deep inside and still willing to let me learn who I was. plus There's the matter of a little girl that I'm pretty sure is my daughter and I've always wanted a daughter, Plus there's the matter of my father, who was with me before I became somebody I have to go back, I'm sorry," He put his hand on top of hers "

Jenny looked at their hands together and said quietly, "But what about our family?"

"Our Family?" He said, "We don't have a family?"

"I've been waiting for a good time to tell you, I'm pregnant," She said putting her glass down.

Jonathan could honestly say for the first time,

He was stunned.

SIENE River:

Jennifer felt stupid, she had on a bench for hours and waited for Jonathan, she rechecked and checked the letter a thousand times to make sure that she was in the right place, she even stood in the same spot she'd stood with Jonathan or rather Charlie the previous day to make sure she didn't miss seeing him.

But he never came.
