Zeke clenched his fists, getting angry now. He just didn't understand how someone could lie to their child like that. He looked at Jennifer and frowned. "How can you lie to her? Why are you putting her through that? She doesn't deserve it."

"I'm not lying to her," Jen said. "Do you wnat a blood test because I guarantee I can prove it," Jen said bitterly. Elena coward away into Jennifer more. She was scared to say the least which made Jen hug her tightly.

Zeke rolled his eyes, he should have known that she'd have an answer for everything. He just wished she'd be straight with him, he needed the honesty. Rubbing at his forehead with his hand to try and stop the headache he was suddenly getting, Zeke frowned. He'd been getting them a lot, and he just assumed it was a side effect of what they gave him. They told him it was a trial drug to try and stop his alcoholic habits, but they'd been unsuccessful. "To be honest, that would probably be a blessing because then you can stop being so god damn in denial."

" Great then we can do that If you honestly think that this isn't your child despite her actually being your child and looking just like you, " Jennifer said quietly. Elena was crying now. She was probably really confused by all the arguments. Elena hated arguments.

Zeke was starting to lose his temper, and if Elena wasn't there, he would have gone into a full blown rage. "I don't understand it, so stop treating me like the enemy. They told me that you were lying! They told me that you've been lying to me Elena's whole life, what am I supposed to do? Just believe your word when you've been lying to me for the past two years?"

" And suddenly you believe them over me?" Jen asked quietly. "Just do the DNA test and then find out who's lying because it's not me. I have never lied to you," Jen said quietly. She adjusted Elena in her arms and just took out her hearing aid. If Jen was holding her Elena wouldn't need it anyway. Besides Jen thought it'd be better just for her to sleep than to be apart of this.

Zeke clutched the side of his head with his hand, screwing up his face in pain. It was worse than it ever had been before, probably brought on by the extra stress. Using his other hand he supported himself against the wall but it was no use. He saw nothing but a blurred hallway as he fell to the ground unconscious.

Jen cursed under her breath when he passed out. She signed to Elena to go inside and go to sleep and that she'd be in there shortly. Jen didn't wnat to take zeke to the hospital because a passed out person didn't normally need to go to the hospital she just got him up and half way dragged him to the couch and laid him there. She went in to check on Elena.
She kissed the top of her head and kissed the top of her head. She walked into the kitchen and past the bar ignoring it even though she wanted it. She grabbed a pen and paper and wrote.
'I have no where else to go and you can choose to believe me or not but I have the evidence and they don't. ' Jen put that by zeke and then went into Elena 's room and just started there looking at her daughter. Jen couldn't sleep, she couldn't even try to sleep. She just found herself quietly crying. The Capitol took everything from here...they always have and they always will."

Zeke woke up about an hour later, hanging off of the sofa. Reaching for the note next to him, he rubbed at his good eye and stretched his arm out. After reading the note, he scrunched it up in a ball and threw it to the ground. Whether they were still here or not, he had no idea but he got up to check the bedrooms. They weren't in his room but when he checked the room they had decorated for Elena, they were curled up together on the bed, asleep. They looked so peaceful, it made him want to lay beside them and apologise for everything.
But why should he when he'd done nothing wrong?
Catching sight of Elena's hearing aid on the side, he leant down and spoke quietly in Jennifer's ear. "I'd like a word. Alone." After making sure she'd heard him, he walked back to the living room with his hand over his mouth.

Jen rubbed her eyes when she heard zeke and waited to stand up until he walked out. She stood up and went outside in the living room closing the door to Elena ' s room. "What? " Jen asked with really no emotion. She just ran her hand through her hair and glanced over at him. She wanted to know why he wanted to speak alone and she wanted to know hat the Capitol did to him.

Zeke waited, fumbling with his hands in front of him with his back to the bedroom door. He cracked his knuckles but then heard the door creak open and turned on his feet. Just from his expression, any idiot could tell that he was confused and felt a mixture of anger and longing. Clearing his throat, Zeke tried to find the best words to explain.
In a muddled rush of speech, he explained what he knew had happened. He told her that he remembered Jennifer being pregnant with Damion's child, and one day she'd taken Elena out and had never come back. The next thing he remembered was signing up for a trial drug that was supposed to cure alcoholism. After that, he met with a counsellor and the counsellor helped him to realise that Jennifer was toxic for him. The counsellor had helped him realise that Elena wasn't even his daughter, she'd been Damion's all along.
The whole time he was speaking, he couldn't make eye contact with her for pure fear. He didn't what she'd say, or how she'd react that that made him panic.
"If you can't tell, I'm really confused right now. I'd like to hear your side of the story."

"You were gone for months and I just couldn't handle it. Damion was there for Elena when she didn't have a father figure. I had no idea what had happened to yeha and I kept trying to find you and I never could...I figured they had killed you after awhile and so I started to date Damion. And yes I love him but not as much as I love you. I still love you. I'd never just leave you likw that. Elena is your child. I was pregnant with her before I even knew Damion was still alive," Jen said telling the truth. Would Zeke actually believe her? Jen had no idea she just wanted everything to be okay again.

Zeke sat down and gripped the sides of his head with his hands, pushing his fingers into his hair. He couldn't make sense of it, no matter how much he tried. "I believe you," he told her, eyes locked on the floor. "But I can't at the same time." He shoppe his head, getting to his feet once more. Fidgeting was a sign that he was uncomfortable, he couldn't stand or stay still because his mind was overworking itself and he didn't know what to say or believe. "I still love you, too. And Elena. But she thinks I'm dead, there's no way to make her believe I'm her father again. It would mess her up, more than she probably is already after everything that's gone on."
He sighed, trying to weigh up everything that had happened. He still wasn't one hundred percent sure that she was his daughter, he still had his doubts but he didn't voice them for now.
"I've missed so much of her life. I didn't even know she was deaf."

"That was...my fault...I found out when she got older she wasn't hearing that well and the doctors said it was because of the the drinking but that was before I knew I was pregnant. She's hard of hearing, " Jen said quietly. "And you could still be part of her life. She only us three....she still has 15 more years until she's an adult. Would you rather have missed three or eighteen? " Jen asked. "Elena is a tough cookie. She's seen more death than most kids her age have. She's not some weak person," Jen said. She looked at Zeke. "And she wants her dad. Everyday she asks me why her last name is different. She asks me why it's not the same as mine. I don't even know how to respond half the time..." Jen said quietly. Jen ran her hand through her hair and just looked at Zeke and felt herself wanting to cry but she didn't.

Zeke looked between Jennifer and the floor as she spoke, not quite sure what to say. What she was telling him was harrowing, he couldn't imagine not knowing his own child. He wiped across his chin with his hand and let out a long breath. "I don't know what to say - I don't know what you want me to say. I don't even know what's happening right now, I'm still kind of out of it." He shook his head and walked around the living room, pacing back and forth and probably really annoying the people who lived in the apartment below him. They'd already complained multiple times about how many times he'd come home drunk, shouting nonsense at the top of his lungs. The only reason he still had the apartment was because his dad used to play poker with the owner of the building. Gambling was the only thing his dad was good for. Zeke didn't want to Elena to think of him like he thought of his dad, and he was always scared that one day she would.
"I don't want to lose either of you, but you clearly don't live in the Capitol anymore and Damion's on the scene."
