The next morning...
Jessica and James woke up early and went to the hospital. Sophia was still asleep when they arrived, so they decided to go out and have breakfast.
"Do you think Sophia will get over it?" Jessica asked as she rummaged in the little piece of cake in front of her with dismay.
"I think with a wonderful mother like you, she can overcome anything." James smiled before taking some coffee.
"Oh James, you're a wonderful father too, but you understand what I mean. Sophia is only two years old and this can traumatize her for the rest of her life. "
"Jess, you and I are going to make sure she forgets all that bad happened to her, giving her lots of love and affection." He took the rest of the coffee.
"I hope that's enough." She said rather disappointed.
"Hey ..." he grabbed her hand "it's going to be okay, Jess."
"I know" her words wandered in the air and she looked away.
"You did not even touch your coffee" he scolded her, drawing her out of her own thoughts.
"I'm just not hungry."
"Jess ..."
"James, please, no." she interrupted.
"Okay. Something happened, Jess?" he asked in a worried tone.
"I just want this to be over. I want us to be a happy family again" she can not hold the tears.
"Hey..." He came over and wrapped his arms around her. "I want that, too. We just need a little patience, okay?" He kissed her hair.
"Okay" she sobbed.

At the hospital...
"Hey Sarah." Jessica smiled as she saw Sarah and wrapped her in a hug.
"Hey".
"Hi James." Sarah greeted him.
"Hi, Sarah." He gently squeezed her hand.
"Did you see the news?" Sarah asked.
"What news?" Jessica asked curiously.
"Of the both of you." Sarah picked up the phone and showed Jessica.
"What?" Jessica looked at the content on cell phone and her expression changed rapidly.
"What is?" James came over and looked at cell phone too.
On Sarah's cell phone was a picture of Jessica and James hugging each other accompanied by the following caption: Actress Jessica Lange is comforted by her husband.
"Come on, Jess, it's not too bad, I think it's cute." Sarah said when she saw the expression of annoyance on her face.
"Taking away the fact that it's my personal life." Jessica rolled her eyes.
"I like the photo" said James.
Jessica stared at him. "James, you know I hate it."
"I know, baby. I'm just joking."
"I'll see if Sophia woke up." Jessica left in irritation.
"Wait for me." James followed her.

"Hey, my love." Jessica said as she watched Sophia slowly open her eyes.
"Mommy ..." Sophia's voice came hoarse in a whisper.
