Parson Holdings...California

I was angry when I came in here but it seems like I'm leaving this building happy. I'm not homeless after all. Wendy and her two brats can fuck off my house. If she had the guts to kick me out I could do the same!

"No. No. We can't accept all of this," Jacky shook her head besides me.

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"What is everything?" Jacky asked Mr Kearns while dismissing my question.

He shuffled around a few papers and finally got the one he was looking for. "Well ma'am. According to this, you have..His four vehicles, the house on Pietersen Street here in California, another house in Indiana and his bank account savings of 117490 dollars."

117490 dollars? I was not expecting this.
"No. We can't take all of this. He has a family now. I'm sure he left something for them right?" Jacky shook her head.

"Of all the things you have done in the past, you choose this time to be all Mother Theresa?" I asked.

She let out a heavy sigh and looked at me. "I know okay. I know I haven't been the best person in the past but people change. I have changed," she paused. "We need to go speak to him right now. This is too much."

Even though I agree that Daniel shouldn't just leave his family with nothing, why should we give them our stuff when an hour ago, they were willing to leave us homeless with nothing.

Being the bigger person isn't as easy as it sounds.

L.A. Correctional Institure...California

Jacky's POV

"I'm surprised to see you guys here," Dan said to the three of us. "I wasn't expecting a visit for the next fifty years," he laughed at his attempt of a joke.

"Yeah neither was I," I heard Kate say but I'm sure she wasn't meaning for anyone to hear her.

"This is important Daniel. We went to see your lawyer and he showed us your will. Are you insane?"

He didn't say anything for a while and when I was about to go on, he spoke. "Well. Umm. I need you to not be angry. I have to tell you something that is important."

"Should I leave?" I heard Christian ask nervously.

"No no. Stay. I want to say this to family..I assume you and kate are uuhhmm," Dan said clearing his throat at the end.

Kate and Christian quickly blurted out various phrases denying Daniel's assumption.

"Oh. I'm sorry. I thought.. um. Anyway. Jacky do you remember when you mailed me the papers to sign?"

"Yeah?" I said. But it came out sounding more like a question.

"I never signed them. In fact. I threw them away. I never wanted to go through with it-"

I cut him off before he could continue. "What? Why? Why do you always have to complicate everything? How could you do that to Wendy? Oh god. Wendy.."

"Jacky. Calm down. Wendy was..she was just a distraction to be honest. I am married to her yes. But not legally because I stll care Jacky," he said the last part softly.

I immediately put my hands in my head in defeat while Christian and Kate just gaped at Dan. I didn't know how to feel when he told me all this. Should I be happy that Daniel actually still cares or angry that he has lied about everything all these years.

"Why? Why wouldn't you do that? What is wrong with you?" I cried into my hands. I felt shifting of bodies around and hands started to rub up and down by back.

"I'm sorry Jacky. I'm so sorry," I heard Dan whisper to me.

"No physical contact sir," the guard said to us.

"What should I do now? I can't just tell Wendy all of this by myself."

"Tell you what. Why don't you get Wendy here and I'll explain the situation to her. All of it. I'm sure she will understand."

I nodded at him but I know Wendy will be devastated at the news. I will give her whatever she wants, but that will not make up fir the fact that the man yiu love had his heart to another woman while he was married to you. How did things get so messy. What went wrong?

The day you met this man called Daniel Johnson.

"Okay. I'll try my best. I have to and catch up with Christian and Kate,'' I said getting up from my seat.

"Okay. Enjoy the rest of your day love."

Spencer's Kickboxing Building...California

Kate's POV

"I'm so confused. So Jacky is really your mother?" I had explained everything to Christian. Every now and then he would stop me to clarify a few things. I even told him about my mom, who now turned out to be..a babysitter? Something I was never comfortable with discussing.

"Yeah. I know. It's pretty fucked up."

"Why did you never tell me about this? Everything now makes sense," he said. "The ice rink. Oh my god. I'm so sorry I didn't realize-"

"It's okay. I'm fine now. Thank you. For everything."

"I have good news for you kids," Spencer burst in through the door with a lit up facial expression. "Jessica's body, is now in our custody." He continued, doing a little bow when he finished.

"How did you prove that you were a relative?" I questioned.

"I used the Spencer charm Kate," he smirked cockily. Earning a laugh from Christian and I.

It's been ten hours since we left Jacky at the prison. I thought she would be with us by now.

"Where is Jacky? It's been hours since we last saw her," Spencer asked. "Unless you guys went somewhere with her while I was at the morgue.

I could feel Christian staring at me but I ignored his stare. "She is coming soon."

"Okay. Cool."

We carried on our chitchat and soon enough Jacky arrived. The first thing I noticed was she had a band-aid on her forehead. I was about to ask her what happened when Christian beat me to it. "And the band-aid?"

She touched it lightly before smiling to herself. "Wendy didn't take the news about the will all too well."

"What?" Spencer asked confused.

"It's a long story," Jacky answered simply. "She threw a photoframe at me and it broke. It had this picture in it." She handed me a photo of a woman holding too babies. I guessed it was me, her and Catherine. I slightly smiled at myself. The irony of it all. A photoframe is what started all of this, and a photoframe is what ended all of this.

I looked up from the photo and met three sets of eyes on me. "What?"

"We kinda want to see that too. You have been staring at it for two minutes now," Spencer said. I mentaly slapped myself at the news and I handed him the photo and looked at Jacky.

"Do you still want to here what happened after you guys were-"

I cut her off. "It's fine Jacky. It doesn't matter anymore."

She hugged me tightly and said a quick thank you. Maybe ahe didn't like talking about it and I just saved her the trauma of looking back to those times.

Don't shoot me. I'm sorry. I haven't been feeling well these past two weeks so I hadn't had time to update. I won't use the school excuse because it's over used.
But anywho. I hope you tried forcing yourself to enjoy this chapter.
