"We need to talk"
"Hey Josh..I hope everything is okay?"
"Well...Not really...I got bad news..."
"What news?"
"It's about Wesley.."
"Does Jade know?"
"Not yet..Listen Xander I don't know how she will take this..But I want to make one thing clear..No matter what happens you have more right over these two kids then he will ever have! You have been their Father when he turned them down. Please...I beg you...Don't let him intimidate you..He lost what he could've had..Those kids love you so much..Don't ever leave them"
"Josh...I'm not going anywhere..It's not me you should be worried about..."
"You say that over Jade don't you?"
"Even though she doesn't mention his name out-loud I know she still thinks about him..She hasn't stopped loving him..She never will..I mean look at Lance and Natasha..They're a spitting image of him..How will she ever forget him when he lives through them"
"You might be right but she has also grown to love you too..There's no denying that"
"I know...But she will never love me the way she loves him"
"..Listen she doesn't need to know that Cedric Wesley is coming back to the City..Why don't you take her and the kids out for a vacation?? Take them faraway from here and-"
"No Josh. I'm sorry but I can't do that to Jade. She will have to decide. Whatever her decision is I will respect it but I would never lie to her this way. It's her right to now that he is coming back..Even if it breaks me into pieces and scares me to death...Jade needs to know"
"Maybe this will help you guys" Lea took out a magazine from inside her purse and handed it to Xander.
"Babe how much did you hear?"
"Enough to agree that Cedric doesn't deserve a chance with Jade nor the kids"
"Well? What's in the magazine?" Josh asked hovering over Xander's shoulder to get a look. Suddenly he gasped and turned to look at Lea with a shocking expression in his face.
"Hey guys? I finished baking a chocolate round cake. Why aren't you inside?"
"Uh Jade..I didn't see you there" I noticed Xander's startled expression on his face as he dropped a magazine on the floor by accident. Josh immediately picked it up and gave it to Lea. She quickly stuffed it inside her purse and walked back inside the house without saying anything.
"What's going on?"
"Um nothing Sis..Why would something be going on? Cmon let's go get a piece of that cake before Lance and Pete eat it all!" Josh left running inside the house leaving Xander and I alone.
"Xander are you gonna tell me what's going on? Why is everyone acting weird?"
"Listen Jade...There is something you need to know"
Just when he was about to continue suddenly a loud cry came out of Lance's room. We immediately rushed back inside. "Lance! Honey what is it!?" I asked while hugging him as he shivered in my arms.
I then turned to look at the t.v and saw a breaking news report about a private jet that had crashed killing one person and injuring two. My heart suddenly stopped as I saw in big letters the name I had always silently thought about but never dared to say out loud again. Until now.
