Jon hasn't been to work since the crash. Everybody has been trying to get him to leave and take the kids home. Jon is just so stubborn and won't listen.

"I just won't leave here is until you wake up." He kisses my hand. I feel him kiss my hand and I move my finger. "Amber..." I open my eyes. "Where a-am I?" I turn toward him. He gets up and moves closer to me, then grab my hand. "You crashed into a tree." I sit up. "Where's the twin" I begin to panic. "They're fine. They left the car unharmed." I'm in so much pain right now it hurts to just talk. "I'm so sorry, Jon. Everything is my fault. I'm just a terrible person. I should just move back home baby. You think so too, huh?" Jon grabs my hand with the ring. "I said till death do us part, I promised to hold and to love you for life You're not dead, nor am I. I still love you. I always will." I look out the window. "It just doesn't feel right. Jon I shouldn't put you thru this." He kisses my forehead. "I want to go thru this." He grabs the kids and leaves.

Two days after I woke up they discharged. Jon came to get me. "When do you want to talk about this?" He glances at me. I turn out the window. "I guess when we get home. We need to just talk everything out." He puts his hand on leg and smiles.  "You're still looking good after two kids." I laugh "You're a butt you know that?" He nods "I'm your butt." We pull into the driveway. I get out and grab Joseph. Jon grabs Ariana. I don't know how well this is going to work, but we'll see.

After I put the kids in their bouncer I sit on the couch and wait for Jon. Joseph and Ariana start giggling like they had some kind of langue unknown to adults. Jon comes downstairs and sits on the couch. "Okay, So where do you start?" I sigh "Well... My actual age is 17. My name is Amber and I'm a runaway..." Jon looks at me. "You ran away?" I look at my babies and zone out. "I had to.... I had to." I sigh. "My life wasn't the best. Parents fighting all the time....Constanly drunk." Jon holds me. "So I left. I moved in with my Friends. I started in the wrong path. Drinking and smoking weed. Then I met this guy." Jon kisses my forehead. "I'm still better looking than him right?" I punch his arm playfully.  "Yes baby. Anyways.... We went out and....Things got really bad. He wanted to....umm... get in bed with me. I didn't want to. So he physically held me down..." A tear rolled down my face. "He raped you?" I nod yes. "After that I changed my life. Then I met you." He holds me tight. After all this drama he forgives me. I never want to hold back another secret from him. From now on, nothing but trust.
