A Second Chance

No Danny!!

Jessica was upset that Danny lied to her, but she blew it off and tried to forget about it.  He was hurt, and he needed her.  She figured he would tell her when he's ready. 

Zachary was free to leave, so Angelica took him home with her, and Jessica stayed with Danny.

"Hey baby." She smiles.

"Hey.." He gives her a small smile with sleepy eyes.

"How do you feel?"

"Like an old man."

"Well you had a knee replacement!  Congratulations, you are old!"

"Heh, thanks." He smiles.

"I'm just messing with you.  Can I get you anything?"

"No baby, I'm okay.. Thanks."

"Daniel, do you remember anything that was said last night?"

"Do you want me to remember everything that was said last night?"

"What?" She laughs.

"Yes, yes I remember."

"I want you to know that I meant it."

"Good." He smiles.

"I don't want to get married right now, that's not what I'm saying.. It's just.. Daniel, I almost lost you!  When I heard that you weren't waking up.. I could have just died.  I love you so so much."

"I love you too, Jessie."

"I promise it'll happen one day."

"Well that makes me the happiest man on this entire planet."

Jessica smiles, then looks down and sighs.

"Okay, so now let's talk..

What are we gonna do with you?"

"What do you mean?"

"You need someone to take care of you!  I've decided that I'm going to move in with you for a week to help you out.  I'll be your nurse." She smiles.

"Ooh!" Danny raises his eyebrow and smirks.

Jessica laughs and continues talking.

"I'm gonna leave my boys alone in my house for the whole week.. Yes, I'm an idiot!  Heh!  And Grayson and I are gonna be your roomies!" She smiles.

"Well I couldn't think of two cuter roommates!"

Jessica laughs and says, "I talked your doctor and they're gonna come in here soon to try to get you to walk."

"Already?!" His eyes widen.

"Well you need to be able to walk using a walker before you leave."

"When is that?"

"Later today."

"What?!  I thought I had another two or three days of this place!"

"Nope!" Jessica smiles.

"Oh!  Well alright then."

"You'll do great, baby!"

***

A nurse and a therapist came in to try to get Danny to walk.

Jessica held one of his hands to help him up.

"Owe!"

"It's okay, baby.  Just go slow, there's no rush."

Danny holds on tightly to the walker and makes a painful noise.
