"Who said moving wasn't possible?" Jen asked. "And I don't love Damion like I love you. You were there for me through everything. Zeke you're the one I want everyone else can just go fuck themselves, " Jen said. She looked over at him.
" I need yoy zeke. I've always needed you. I never wanted to live a second without you. And if you don't want me then fine I'll just leave, " Jen said finally crying. She just looked down at the floor avoiding zeke ' s gaze.

"No," Zeke frowned, finally registering his thoughts in a more plausible, comprehensible manner. "You can't leave - you just can't." He chewed his bottom lip as he watched her start crying. All he wanted to do was hug her and tell her it would be okay, but it wouldn't, would it? Could it? He took a few steps towards her and rested his hand on her shoulder, feeling awkward at first but then it all came back to him. Every feeling he'd ever felt for her returned to him in that moment, the love, longing, lust, anger, frustration... Everything. He couldn't stop himself anymore. Placing a hand on her cheek he lifted up her jaw and made her look at him. "I need you, too." He whispered, pulling her towards him to plant a kiss on her lips.
Being with Jennifer made him feel alive again. The past few months, Zeke felt like a zombie, but now he was more awake than ever.

Jen was a little shocked by the kiss but ended up melting into it. Her whole body went from tense to relaxed in a second. She realized she missed this. She missed zeke. She missed them being a small totally messed up family.
Elena pulled Jen out of her thoughts when she felt someone tugging on her jeans. Elena didn't like to talk without her hearing aid in because she knew she sounded funny. 'Mommy I had a bad dream,' Elena signed. Jen blushed a little and picked her up. "What was the dream about? " Jen signed and spoke.
'Big white monsters they ate Ethan,' Elena signed. Jen thought ut was cute how her dreams weren't that scary but yo her they were. To her they were terrifying.

Zeke pulled away when he saw Elena, awkwardly stepping backwards. Watching her sign out something to her mother, he looked down at the floor, and it was only when Jennifer spoke that he understood what was going on. For a moment, he felt hopeless, after all, he didn't know sign language, he didn't know the first thing about it. Taking advantage of the fact that Elena couldn't hear him at that very moment, he sighed and then asked, "Jen, how do we tell her I'm not just some random guy who looks like her dad." He felt sorry for Elena, being told that herded was dead and then having to understand that he wasn't, he was just on some dodgy high from some Capitol medication they'd gave him.

"We just tell her," Jen said with a shrug. "There's no way to take it lightly. Jen looked at Elena and signed. 'Can you get your hearing aid?" Elena nodded so Jen set her down. Elena came back with a hearing aid. Jen had to help Elena put it on so Elena didn't hurt her ears even more. "Is it too loud?" Jen asked. Elena shook her head.
"Elena we have something to tell you," Jen said leading her toward the couch Elena sat next to Jen and looked at the two of them.
"Remember how suddenly daddy disappeared and we didn't know why. So mommy said he died after awhile?" Elena nodded keeping up.
"Well something happened and daddy isn't actually dead....he's right here....and the reason you think Zeke looks like your dad is because he is," Jen said.
Elena looked past Jen at Zeke. "You're my daddy?" Elena asked. Elena had wanted to see her father her whole life but everyone said he was dead.

Zeke sat down on the coffee table in front of the sofa, resting his head on his hands and his elbows on his knees. Waiting for Jen to explain, he bit on the inside of his cheeks, heartbeat racing. He didn't know why he was so scared for her to find out, he just was. When Elena turned to him, he smiled and nodded, getting up from the coffee table to sit beside her on the sofa. "Yeah, I am." He said, glancing at Jennifer for a split second before his eyes landed back on Elena.

Elena stood up and hugged her dad. She had been waiting to do that since she knew Damion wasn't her dad. She just wanted her dad in her life. "Where were you?" Elena asked.
Jen just smiled when Elena began to hug him. She didn't think Elena would warm up so quickly but she was happy she did.

Zeke relaxed when she hugged him, and he lifted her up to sit her on his knee. He ran a hand through her hair and quickly smiled at Jennifer before answering his daughter. How to find the right words was the most difficult task. He couldn't just tell a three year old that someone from the Capitol government had drugged him and led him to believe that he'd been lied to for the past three years.
"I was... away. I was working so I could earn some money for us. But I lost touch with mommy and she thought something bad happened." Although he didn't want to lie, he thought it was probably the best solution for now. As a young child, she was already vulnerable, she didn't need to know about the dangers of the world just yet.

Elena nodded, "I've missed you," Elena said quietly. "Mommy says I'm as stubborn as you but I think mommy is more stubborn, " Elena said with a giggle. Jen just looked at Zeke and smirked.
"No trust me daddy is more stubborn," Jen said looking at Zeke.

"I missed you, too." Zeke said, leaning forwards to kiss the top of her head. He was surprised at how natural it felt to be with her again, holding her and even just speaking to her. He laughed, a smirk lingering on his face as he looked between Jennifer and Elena. "I'm on your side, Elena. Mommy's definitely the stubborn one." He teased. In reality, they were both stubborn, but it was always fun to wind Jennifer up.
"Hey, are you going to teach me how to sign?" He asked, smiling at Elena who seemed happy at the idea.

"I think it's fun signing in front of you and you not knowing what were talking about. That means we can sign about you." Jen said with a grin. She looked at Elena.
Elena giggled,"I can teach you the alphabet, " Elena said proudly. Elena liked knowing two languages it made her feel smart.

Zeke leaned down to whisper to Elena so Jennifer couldn't hear. "Mommy smells." He whispered, leaning back up as Elena began to giggle again. He turned to Jennifer and raised an eyebrow with a smirk still on his face. "Still think it's fun?"
"I'd like that." He replied to Elena, smiling at her.

Elena began doing the alphet with her hands but went a little too fast. "Slow down," Jen said with a smile. Elena did after awhile. She'd saw the sign then let zeke do it. After they were done. Elena signed her name. "My name sign is brave with an e," Elena said with a smile. "My deaf friend gave it to me." Elena was really in the deaf world which was very small community of people. She was proud to be hard of hearing and referred to herself as deaf half the time because she can't hear anything really without her hearing aid in.

Zeke just smiled his way through it, finding the whole thing completely confusing. It would take him a long time to grasp it, but he'd do it for Elena. He kept getting the letter all mixed up, his eyebrows furrowing together in concentration. He could feel himself getting annoyed at himself, so gave up for now, just sighing. "It's gonna take me a long time to learn." He laughed, looking apologetically at Jennifer for a moment.

Jen smiled at zeke,"it took us a while too and even we don't know all the signs, " Jen said. She looked at Elena and Elena did the sign for I love you. "This means I love you," Elena said with a smile.
