Behind the Fame

A Time to Heal

Sara

I've been here before but it was a full house. We just finished shooting Season 5 that time and she hosted the after party. This is the first time I am seeing her house and getting the feel of it. Jessica is all over this house. Light and bright, homey, comfortable. It really is a home.

"Thanks for having us over, Jessica. Your house really is amazing. It feels like home with lots of love in it. It's super child friendly too."

"You like it?" she asked with that wide smile of hers. Gosh Jessica you have to stop doing that!

"Of course I do!" I looked deep into her eyes. We were looking at each other for a few minutes until she broke it off.

"Thanks. So, uhm, the food. Can you make the call? I want to play with Sofia for a while."

Jessica brought Sofia upstairs as I ordered our food. After I hung up, I walked around the house and there were a lot of photos of her and Luke but nothing with Chris. That's good. The way she smiles, you wouldn't even believe had you not known her that she was going through all these crap. As I was putting one of the frames down, I heard loud laughers coming out from one of the rooms.

I went up and followed the laughter so I could find them. I stopped by the door and listened to them.

"This will be your play room with Luke. See there are a lot of toys and books you can play with."

Sofia giggles as she was drowned with a lot of stuffed animals and Jessica tickling her.

"We just need to repaint it with girl colors. What color do you want? Come on pick one and show Mommy." She was laying flash cards on the floor and reciting the colors as he does this.

Sofia pointed to the color pink. Then went to pick up the yellow and started to chew on it. Jessica laughed and tried to get the card from her.

"Pink is great baby but don't eat that yellow card or your stomach will hurt. I am just a pretend doctor so if your tummy hurts, I wouldn't know what to do." She laughed and so did Sofia.

I almost jumped out from the floor when I heard Sara laugh.

"How long have you been there?" I asked, nervous of what she heard.

"Long enough." She teased.

"Uhm..." I looked around the door she was standing on and I was obviously nervous.

"Pastel pink is nice. It will go with the already pastel colors you have in here."

"What?" I asked now shaking, I wonder if that was the only thing she heard or if there was more.

"She chose pink right?"

I nod my head and then there was a knock at the door. I was saved by that!

"Sofia, come, let's go see who that is on the door." I picked Sofia up and went out of the playroom door without looking at Sara.

We all ate dinner and put Sofia down to sleep. I went up to put her down in Luke's crib while Sara fixes us a glass of wine. I went back down. I knew we were to talk. I just don't know what about, but I feel it'll be serious talk. So I drank almost half of the wine from my glass.

"Whoa woman! Slow down." I laughed at her. She laughed but I can see and her she was nervous but I don't know why. "We have to talk about something." I looked at her with just my eyes without putting my head up from my glass.
