It's 2 am so if there are mistakes I'm sorry. Jazmin is four in this cause PRESCHOOL so yeah

Jackson: *picking up Jazmin from school* So what did you do today?

Jazmin: We had to draw pictures of our family~ But I have a lot so I only drew mama and papí. Sorry...

Jackson: That's okay~

Jazmin: Uncle Jackson? Do mama and papí love each other? All the other kids say that theirs do.

Jackson: That's.... Something you should ask your mom.

Jazmin: oh okay! I will then~ Should I ask papí too?

Jackson: um. Sure. If you want to.

Jazmin: Then I will~

~To home they go~

Jazmin: *runs inside to show Leanne le picture* Do you like it?

Leanne: Oh I love it~

Jackson: *wants to see what's gonna happen so he followed*

Jazmin: Do you love papí? all the other kids' parents love eachother. But you don't talk to each other a lot. And when you do it isn't long... And you seem sad whenever he's around...

Leanne: Oh um. Yes and no?

Jazmin: How? *blink*

Jackson: Yeah, Leanne. How?

Leanne: Shut it, Jack. Well. Um. See, we loved each other very much. But he had to go back to Mexico and I had to stay here.

Jazmin: Oh... But do you still love each other?

Leanne: I... Don't know to be completely honest. Love is... Hard.

Jazmin: It is?

Leanne: Yes. It is when you love someone who isn't family. Family love is always there but love for other people isn't always there.

Jazmin: Oh...

Jackson: She still loves him.

Leanne: I said shut it!

Jackson: *puts his hands up* Stating facts. You haven't gotten over him yet and it's kind a painful to watch. You really need to talk it out with him Leanne. Because you two were about to get married. You had a kid. And due to some complications if broke off. I know that it was mutual and apparently no one "got hurt" but that's bulls*** because you definitely got hurt and I think Carlos did to. So you need to /talk/ to him.

Jazmin: *is so very lost*

Leanne:... I know. I will just... not yet. Anyway... I'll send a picture of your drawing to Carlos okay?

Jazmin: *perks up* Okay! Can I call him? Please?

Leanne: Sure. *hands her phone to her*

Jazmin: Okaythankyou! *goes to call Carlosss*

Jackson: You can't put it off forever...

Leanne: I know, I know...

Jackson: Then make an effort.

Leanne: I'll try okay? I just. Don't know what to say. Our conversations are awkward if we egwn have one and we only really talk when we see eachihter at the air port when handing off Jazmin. And we can't be together so what's the use?

Jackson: You need to just try to figure /something/ out. It's been a bit...

Leanne: *sigh*... Okay.
