The Bad Meets The Good

Title your Story Part

JACK'S POV

I walked back to their room sliding my mask on.

I opened the door to se Jessie laying against the head board of the bed while Alex was snuggling into her side while she quietly sang.

"This is my Temporary Home

Not where I belong

Windows in rooms

that I'm passing through

This is just a stop

to where I'm going

I'm not afraid because I know

This is my Temporary Home "

She rubbed his head while he sucked his thumb watching her intently

"Nessie?" He asked 'that's actually cute' I thought

"What is it bud?" She asked softly still stroking his hair

"I miss mommy and daddy" he said with tears in his eyes

She froze. She looked at him and a sad smile formed on her face

"I want you to listen to me very closely. Your parents were the kindest people I knew. They took me in, fed me, entered me in school, they watched after me like I was their own. When they had you I was so happy. I got to watch you grow up into who you are now. They love you so much bud it ain't even funny." She sighed but then smiled slightly "you know you are awfully a lot like your dad" she said

His eyes brighten "how?" he said

She tapped her chin as if she was thinking "Well for starters you looks just like him. Same brown hair" she said running her fingers through it "same eyes and even same nose" she poked his nose "but what I see the most is his personality. Your brave, outgoing , and even though I don't support it, your father and you share the same quality or habit of not showing your feelings. Like sadness or you never express how you feel. I guess you are both stubborn" she said tickling him which made him squeal and smile which showed his one front tooth missing

I just sat back and watch what was going on in front of me. She is so great with kids. She looks good with the kid. Alex he adorable and usually I'm not the person to like kids but he's different and so is she.

I cleared my throat so my presence is known.

She stopped automatically putting on a blank face while Alex calmed down and snuggled closer into her. I hope I didn't scare him.

I held up the food "I brought pasta. I hope you like Italian." I said in a tight voice not giving anything away.

She nodded "why is there three plates?" She asked

I smiled sarcastically "I'm eating with you" I said sitting down next to the bed which made them move over a hair. I frowned a little at that but shook it off. I handed them their plates and utensils along with a can of coke each.

Alex had a big smile and Jess's face looked unsure

"Yes!" Alex said fist pumping in the air that seems familiar. Why does that seem familiar

"Crap" Jess muttered under her breathe

"I'm sorry am I missing some thing?" I asked unsure of the situation

Jess rolled her beautiful eyes "Coke gets him hyper , which is why he usually has apple juice or water with dinner." She explained

I nodded "Should I get him water? I don't think we have apple juice" I said not thinking
