Two fools in love

I have a question...

The next day Danny FaceTimes her while she's on break.

"Oh my babies!  Hello my beautiful beautiful angels!"

"Mommy!" Gabriella waves.

Isaiah once again doesn't understand and thinks she's home.
"Momma home?  Momma home?!" He claps his hands and bounces up and down on Danny's lap with the biggest smile on his face.

Hearing that broke Jessica's heart.
"Oh Isaiah!  Mommy's not home, sweet boy!" She cries.

"Mommy!" He cries and reaches for the screen.

"I wish I could hold you, baby boy!  I'm so sorry."

"My num nums!  My num nums!" He cries.

"Oh my gosh, I can't take this!" She wipes her tears. 

"Mommy when you coming home?" Gabriella asks her.

"In a few more days, baby."

"I want you to come home.  I miss you when you hug me and tell me, I love you Gabby."

"Aw baby, I miss you!  And I do love you, Gabby!"

"Then why you leave?" Gabriella asks making Jessica lose it.

"Gabriella I would never leave you!"

"Gabriella, mommy didn't leave us, she's working.  Just like when daddy was working, remember when daddy left for a little while?"

"Yeah but daddy not mommy."

Danny laughs and looks at Jessica.
"I'm not mommy so I don't matter."

Jessica laughs and wipes her eyes.
"Gabby, I just want you to know that mommy loves you more than anything and I wish I could just hold you in my arms right now.  After this week, I won't leave you ever ever again, okay?  I promise!"

"Pinky promise?"

"Pinky promise!" Jessica smiles.

"Good!  Now kiss it and don't let it go!" She kisses her pinky.

"Alright!" Jessica giggles and does the same thing.

After she hangs up, she lays in her bed and sobs uncontrollably.
Hearing her kids cry for her and think that she left them, ripped her heart in two.

***

Jessica has been in LA for five days and she's drained, emotionally and physically.

She doesn't have much time to talk to the kids or Danny and she's been working like crazy.

She's meeting Ryan for dinner tonight and she knows exactly what he's gonna say.

She walks into the restaurant and Ryan was already there.
"Jessica!  There's my beautiful girl!" He stands up and hugs her.
"Hi Ryan!  How have you been?" She smiles.
"Great!  But how have you been, momma bear?  Excited that the week's almost over?"
"Yes!  Ryan I can't do this!  I don't like the single life!" She giggles.
"I can imagine!  You're always with your kids, so I can see how this would be hard."
"Very hard.. But I get to see them in two days, so I'm happy!" She smiles and does a little happy dance in her seat.
"Well that's good, I'm sure Danny will be glad to have you back."
"Yeah, poor guy.  The kids are not easy little pleasant things to deal with!" She laughs.
"Especially Gabriella, she is as cute as can be but she can be mean, Ryan!  And my baby, Isaiah is just the sweetest.. To me." She giggles.
"Danny said this week they've bonded, but when I'm around, that little boy wants nothing to do with him."
"He's a momma's boy, isn't he?" Ryan chuckles.
She nods and says, "Definitely!  Ryan the kid won't get off my boobs!  I mean, my God!  Gabriella weaned herself off around a year old and when Isaiah was born, she started up again, but not as much.  Isaiah wants them ALL THE TIME!"
"He's a growing boy and he wants the real stuff!" Ryan laughs.
"Apparently!  Hah!  Well, anyway!  What have you been up too?"
"Well..."
"Come on Ryan, just say it.  I know you didn't call me out to dinner just to hear me talk about my boobs!"
"Well... The thing is... Um.. I-I.. Well I-"
"For fucks sake Ryan, spit it out!"
"I need you back!"
"Haha!  I knew it!"
"Jessica, I do!  It isn't American Horror Story without you!  Jessica, please just listen to me.  I will listen to whatever you have to say, I will add whatever you want to add, if you to change the name to the Jessica Lange show, I will do it because I need you back!" He grabs her hand and looks deep into her eyes.
She chuckles and says, "Oh Ryan.. I don't know.  Do you Really need me?"
"Yes Jessica, I need you!"
"Alright well you talk and I'll listen.." She leans back, crosses her arms and gets comfortable to listen to his case.

On the last night she was alone, she took in the peace quiet.  At the beginning she hated it but after a while she got used to it. 

She ordered pizza and had a mini private spa party for herself.

She cleaned up a bit and fixed the place up for Danny and the kids.
She had bought them all kinds of cute new outfits and a ton of toys, so she put it in their room.
Since the place was small, the kids had to share a room.
She worried that Gabriella might not like it but she was just going to have to deal with it.

***

Back at home...

"The end!  Alright time for bed!" Danny says as he closes the book he had just read them.
"Another one daddy!" Gabriella looks up and smiles at him.
She and Isaiah were both cuddled up on him.
"We've read six!" Danny laughs.
"Besides, we've got to get to bed!  Mommy's coming home tomorrow." He smiles.
"Yay!" She gets excited.
"Yeah, so let's go night night.  The faster we get to sleep, the faster we get to see momma."
"Okay!" Gabriella gets up and runs to the stares.

Isaiah had fallen asleep on him so he carried him upstairs.

"Daddy can I sleep with you?" Gabriella looks up at him with her big beautiful eyes.
"Of course you can!  Isaiah can sleep in here too and we'll have a sleepover in the big bed!" He smiles.
"Yay!" She lifts her hands and jumps up and down.

The next morning Jessica jumps out of bed and gets ready as fast as she can.
She was so ready to go home and see her babies that she got to the airport two hours before she was supposed to arrive.
She had talked to Danny while she waited to board the plane, the kids were still asleep so he got to talk to her alone.

"I've missed you so much, Babydoll."

"I've missed you too, baby!  I can't wait to see you and kiss those sweet lips."

"Mmm..."

"I've been so lonely and I've missed your touch.. I need my baby." She says in a low voice that was almost a moan.

"I need you so bad, beautiful." He says sounding like he's aching for her.

"I have a question." He asks.

"Yeah?"

"You've been in that apartment all alone for a whole week... There are so many things that are running through my mind, but I wanna know.. Did you walk around naked?"

"Mhm.." She giggles.

"Ooh!  Then what happened?"

"Hah!  Wouldn't you like to know?" She giggles.

"Oh I do!  Tell me, please!"

"Well I'll say this..." She puckers her lips and looks around before she says, "Our neighbors already know that I'm a screamer..."

"Jessica!" He gasps.

"I know!  I'm sick!" She laughs.
