Just like Clarissa was saying, they indeed spent the whole day in that house. Not just talking about their experiences in Greece and anything else, but also playing with Andy. Clarissa and Jake, was assigned to babysit Andy for the whole day. Acting like they were the parents. In the afternoon, they all were outside. Watched the lake, and the sun as it faded above the horizon. But, of course the two had to go, since they already have their new house.
They walked away, said their goodbyes. "Were you tired?" Jake asked as they walked briskly. "Of what?" She asked. "Taking care of the baby." He answered so quickly. "A little bit. But, it's fun doing it. And if it's necessary, we could do it again tomorrow." She smiled. "Again? But, if that's what you want. I'm okay with it, baby." He said, joining the smile.

Clarissa and Jake spent those three consecutive days in the other house, taking care again of Andy. The three enjoyed being with each other, it was obvious. But, Clarissa enjoyed it more than Jake. He just seemed worried about it, and felt something bad in his guts. He could see that the relationship of the baby and Clarissa were working very great, and they were both close to each other rather than his biological mother. Sometimes, he just wished for their own child. He wanted to talk about it.
As long as it keeps his wife happy, then he were happy for her. The third day, they left the house pretty late in the afternoon, almost evening. "Can we talk about Andy?" He suddenly said when they were walking slowly. "Sure, what's up?" She asked, her emotion joyous and contented. "I feel like we should just visit him not often, not everyday. But could it be once or twice a week?" He asked, hoping that she wouldn't get mad. "What's wrong? Don't you wanna see that cute baby?" She asked, giggling but later frowned. "Well, of course I do. It's just that you two are getting so close to each other." He told her. "Yeah, and what's wrong?" She asked, looking at him straight in the eye while walking quicker. "It's supposed to be Vanessa and him that's supposed to be that."
"Are you telling me that I shouldn't meet Andy anymore?" She stopped from walking. "No, no. Of course not, Rissa. It's just that-" He was interrupted. "Just what?!" She raised her voice. She was angry. "Let me explain," he tried to calm her down by holding her both hands, luckily she didn't shrug it off. "My point here is that yes, you like being with the baby. But, the issue here is that you should maybe, give Vanessa some time to play with her son, somehow." He explained. Clarissa sighed noisily, putting her head in her hand, then shook.
Then, she walked very quickly, leaving Jake away. She seemed angrier but calmer. She had mixed feelings about what he said, her mind was telling her that Jake was right. She definitely had to sacrifice time for Vanessa to play with her son, Andy. Although they were very close to each other, but it was for Andy's good. And who knows, if Jake didn't tell that advice, then maybe he would grow up knowing her as his own mother. Then, probably it's her fault.
The realization finally came.
The negative feeling about Jake went away quickly, when she deepened her thinking, realized that he was right. She decided it was for the best, to just visit them once a week. It would be okay, she told herself. She was still continuing to walk quickly, her steps too fast and didn't she was already far away from Jake already. She turned her head, then saw a distant shadow.
She decided to stop from walking, and to apologize for being angry at him. And so she did, her smile coming back to her own face. But, she felt something in her mind that wasn't quite so good.
Suddenly, her mind was spinning. Her sight was darkening, and she couldn't see anymore. She lost her hearing, but knew she was moving - her feet were walking. And eventually, that all stopped, when she couldn't breath anymore. And then she fell to the ground, as if she was a robot that had her switch flipped. She could still barely see, and she saw a man was in front of her now. It was all blurred, she couldn't recognize even the face. His lips were moving rapidly, as if he was telling something. And his hands, kept on moving, but knew that man was trying to wake her up by shaking her. She just couldn't feel anything, simply because she was almost paralyzed. And she obviously can't make out the words, she couldn't hear anything.
What was happening to her?
She passed out.
