Simon stood with Nathan's hand in his. He was dropping him off at Hannah's apartment for Alex. Alex had work so Simon decided to do her a favour, plus, Nathan was his son after all.
Hannah had JJ round when Simon arrived and JJ took Nathan off to play, using his phone as a distraction for the 6 year old.
"How is she?" Hannah asks, getting Simon a beer from the fridge.
"Shes...Shes dealing with it in her own way," Simon says and Hannah nods, she knew exactly what he meant.
Alex liked to do things on her own, whether it be emotionally or physically, she was a independent person at heart. She rarely accepted help, even when she was weak.
"I know what you mean, she's difficult like that, she doesn't like to express her problems because she feels like shes putting the burden on someone else," Hannah says and Simon nods back.
"How is she in other ways? How is she with you?" Hannah asks and Simon chuckles lightly.
"I wouldn't call us friends or anything, I'd say we're just two people who have a son, and now we're just trying our best to look after him," Simon replies.
"Simon, don't lie to yourself. I know you still look at like shes the world to you, I know because I look at JJ like that, and Alex looks at Nathan like that, obviously in a slightly different way, but these people all make our world turn," Hannah says and Simon gulps.
"Why do you have to be right?" Simon asks, running a hand over his face.
"Because I'm a woman, and women are always right," She laughs and Simon chuckles.
"Now thats questionable," Simon replies and JJ reappears with Nathan carrying the Guess Who board game.
"At least we know who the adults are around here," Simon says and Hannah smiles at him.
"Tell her," Hannah says and Simon looks into her eyes, she was deadly serious.
"Tell her you love her and watch her face, watch her eyes and her lips, just...Please," Hannah says, "I need someone who isn't me to be there for her,"
"But Han-"
"Don't 'but' me just do it," Hannah orders and Simon gives her a single nod.
"As you wish, your royal highness," Simon smirks and Hannah rolls her eyes as she laughs.
"You make me laugh," Hannah says and Simon smiles back.
