No Happy Ending

I will see you more often

*I changed the name because "no happy ending" more accurately describes the further actions lol*

Jessica was late for work and tried to sneak past the chief's office.

"Mrs. Huston!" Sam says loudly

"Damn!" she takes a deep breath and walks into the office.

"Sit down!" Sam rises from his chair and walks to the window.

"Mr. Shepard it was an accident, I didn't hear my alarm!" she sits on a chair.

"That's not why I called you! I want to have a party at the office on Friday and you can help me.!"

"But I've got a lot of work to do, I think Stephanie's gonna be great at it..."

"No, I want you to do it. You are a very responsible person and I trust you!" he sits on a chair.

"Ok, Can I go?"

"Yes you can"
Jessica gets up from her chair and leaves.
Sam stares after her, then includes the brightness on the laptop and looks at her photo.
"Now  I will see you more often, miss Lange!"

Jessica throws the bag on the sofa and sits at the table, picking up the phone and calls Alicia. No answer. Then she calls Danny and he answers in a minute.

"Hey, how are the kids?"

"Hi! Well, Vivian wants to you and Alicia and David they are upset..."

"I have to talk to them, but Alicia and David aren't answering my calls.....give me your address..."

"Okay"

At the end of the day, Jessica went to Danny's. She stopped near a large building that resembled an expensive hotel. She found the right apartment and knocked.

"Mom?" Alicia opens the door.

"Hi, honey! I want to talk to you all, please!"

Alicia gives way to her and Jessica goes inside. She walks into the living room, where Danny and David play video games and Vivien in the dolls.

"Hello" Jessica said almost inaudibly.

"Mommy!" Vivien runs to her and hugs her tight.
Jessica hugs her daughter.

"Hi princess! I really missed you all!"

"Even for me?" Danny smiles but Jessica gives him a stern look.

"I need to talk to you, Danny, couldn't you ..."

"Sure"

Danny leaves the room and Jessica sits on the couch and the children surround her.

"I'm sorry I did not mean to yell at you! These changes in life they hit me and you very hard I know you're hurting now but I promise you that we will manage everything and everything will be fine! Sorry!"

Kids look at her then rise and hug her. Jessica kisses everyone on the cheek and tears roll down her cheeks.
