Dark night of the soul

Chapter 143

*Jessica's POV*
We arrive home after an hour long journey and Sarah decides to take a hot bath.
Whilst she's relaxing, I begin to prepare dinner.

Around half an hour later she comes downstairs wearing baggy trousers and a striped sweater.

"You and your stripes" I laugh.

"Oohh thank god some food, I'm fricken starving. What's cooking good looking?" She says wrapping her arms around my waist whilst I stir the dinner.

That's my Sarah. She back.

"Tikka Masala" I smile and she rests her head on my shoulder. Just as I begin to feel like everything is going back to normal the phone rings. Sarah sighs and walks over to the island to answer it.
"Hello?"

"Hellooo? Who is this?"

"Urm okay, bye" she says hanging up.

"Who was that?" I ask. She shrugs.

"No idea, just a cold caller that's all."

*Sarah's POV*

Although I told Jess that it was a cold caller, I knew exactly who it was...

Did she really mean what she said two days ago about nobody having me if she couldn't? What if she tries to hurt Jess or my children for that matter.

No, she wouldn't.

Would she?

I shake off the thought and continue to spend my day happily with my wife and children.

"So Jessie, can you plleaassee tell me about wild oats, I don't think I can wait until the premier" I whine. She shakes her head no, knowing full well that I'm dying to know.

"But, I've got to go back on set in a couple of days to film one last scene. The most awkward one" she laughs and I know which scene she's on about.

"Ooh can I watch" I wiggle my eyebrows up and down.

"Take your eyebrows and get out of here you pervert" she laughs slapping my thigh.

"What? can't a woman just watch her wife get funky in the bedroom" I try to say seductively but neither of us can contain our laughter.

"Oh I have missed you" She says pulling her into my embrace.
"The kids are asleep" I whisper and begins to kiss her passionately.

This time I'm ready. I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not worried that I'm going to get hurt, I'm not worried about the flashbacks or the nightmares. This is it, this is where I draw the line.

She presses me up against the kitchen counter and I hop onto it so Jess can move between my legs.
I try to get down so we can go upstairs but she stops me.

"I'm feeling pretty adventurous today" she shrugs, looking at me through her lashes.

*Jessica's POV*
She pulls her top over her head, revealing her healthy body. My baby is back.
I can't help but let a tear fall from happiness.
"Jessie what's wrong?" She says putting a finger under my chin to lift my face up so our eyes are focused on each other.
"I'm just so proud of you. My old Sarah is back" I smile. When I said that, she didn't cover her body with her arms like she used to, she didn't look away feeling embarrassed, she simply smiled and nodded.

"I'm happier."
