Zeke laughed, eyes flicking to Jennifer when she spoke. "No, I haven't met Ethan." He said, trying to smile like everything was okay for Elena. He gave Jennifer a sympathetic look; he didn't know Ethan had a heart condition, he didn't know any of it. "Why don't you and mommy come back to my place, you must be cold and I can make you both lunch." He suggested, knowing the decision was to be made by Jennifer, but if Elena agreed, it would probably win her over. To be honest, he just wanted an excuse to talk things over.

"Can we mommy?!" Elena asked excitedly. She looked over at Jen and Jen sighed.
"Sure," Jen said. Jen stood up and Elena walked with them. Elena began to walk in front of them. Something Jen allowed her to do as long as she stood close still. Jen's mind had been elsewhere ever since Elena mentioned ethan. Ethan needed surgery next week and would be in a lot of pain. It was also a really dangerous surgery. She ran her hand through her hair and watched Elena.

Zeke got to his feet and began to walk out of the park with Jennifer and Elena, watching carefully as the little girl walked ahead, stopping every now and then to run her fingers along the snow that had fallen on various walls and fences. When she was out of earshot, he turned to Jennifer and walked slower, still keeping an eye on Elena. "I didn't know about Ethan. I'm sorry. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know okay? He may not be mine, but he's your son and he's Elena's brother so I'll do anything I can." He took her hand again, this time not pulling away, just closing his fingers around hers like a key fit a lock.

"He has heart surgery next week," Jen said. "I'll be in the hospital all week," Jen said. "If not longer...and it was all my fault," Jen would never forgive herself for what she did to ethan. She felt herself start to cry and tried to stop herself but failed. Zeke ' s hand being there made her feel a little better.

By the time Jennifer started to cry, they'd reached his building and Elena was waiting patiently by the door. Zeke let the three of them in, keeping Elena occupied so she wouldn't see her mother upset. He lifted up Elena to carry her up the stairs so they'd get in the apartment quite quickly. "El, I got you a new doll, so why don't you go and play with it in your room and mommy and I will make lunch? I'll come and get you when it's ready." He set her down on the floor and she seemed too excited about the idea of a new doll to even question anything, so she ran off into her room.
Zeke turned to Jennifer and offered her a tissue from the box on the table before grabbing all the things he'd need to make sandwiches for the three of them. "Elena can stay here while you're in the hospital so you don't have to worry about her. I'll bring her in to see both you and Ethan during visiting hours." He brushed his hand across her cheek to wipe away her tears before washing his hands in the sink.

Jen just leaned against the counter. "Zeke I really fucked up...My child is sick because of me. He's never going to get better and my daughter is deaf without her hearing aid on," Jen said. She used the tissues to wipe her face. Her make up was already smeared because of it. "And Elena has no idea taht if one thing cause wromg she'll never see her brother again," Jen said.

Zeke dried his hands on a towel and turned to face her, arms folded over his chest. He bit his lip, not quite sure what to say. If the doctors had clarified it was the drinking, then that was the truth and that was all that there was to say about it. There was no way to change it so they'd have to live with it. He sighed, puffing out his cheeks, knowing she wouldn't like what he was about to say to her. "Well, what's happened as happened, and from now on, optimism and hope are the only options okay? You need to stop living in the past and what you've done and focus on the present and the future."

"But zeke if he dies I don't think u could live with myself. I wouldn't want to live. I barely want to now knowing everything I've done," Jen said. She ran her hand nervously through her hair. When she thought of ethan it just made her depressed it made her think of everything she did wrong and how she harmed someone else.

"You have to live, Jen, especially if that happens because Elena will need you more than ever. We'll get you through it if the worst does happen, but I honestly don't think it will. The medicine here is of a high standard and if Ethan is anything like you or Elena, or even Damion for fuck's sake, he'll be strong and he'll get through it." Zeke started to put together the sandwiches, placing them on three different plates. He wiped his hands on the sides of his jeans quickly before turning to her. "He's not going to die." He repeated, stepping closer to limit the proximity between them. Zeke placed one hand on her shoulder and the other hand on Jennifer's cheek. "So you've made mistakes; you're not the first and you certainly won't be the last. You're an amazing mother, trust me. You'll get through it, I know you will."

Jen just looked at the ground when zeke walked up to her. "I guess, " Jen said quietly. She sighed and looked at Zeke finally. "I love ypu," She said quietly. She wasn't sure why she said it but it felt right. She took his hand and just looked at him.

Zeke smiled, his eyes meeting hers as she spoke the three words that had once changed his life and probably would again. Hearing Jennifer say that made him the happiest he could be. He leant forwards, pressing his lips against hers as he pushed her gently against the kitchen counter. Pulling away, his face lingered near hers as he whispered, "I love you, too."

Jen and Ethan were just playing with his cars. Jen was trying to entertain ethan considering Ethan had been in a lot of pain lately. Damion was out for right now but him and Jen had both been here since ethan ' s surgery. Right now he was taking care of Emmy and later Jen was going to see Elena.
"Mommy," Ethan said with a giggle has Jen played with him. "LENA," Ethan exclaimed when he noticed Elena.
"Ethan!" Elena yelled and ran toward it. She couldn't reach his bed though so she climbed on the chair next to him.
Jen turned around to see zeke there. "Hey," She said with a smile.

That morning, Zeke woke up around eight, probably the earliest he'd ever woken up in his life. He got out of bed, showered and made him and Elena breakfast along with packing a bag of clean stuff for Jen. Elena was extremely excited to see her mum and brother, she hardly sat still through breakfast and took to skipping towards the hospital door when they got out of the car. Zeke was holding her hand as they walked through the corridors together, letting her go when he held the door open for her to walk in first. He smiled at her and walked towards her, passing over the backpack. "I thought you might need some clean clothes and stuff." He said, looking around the room before looking over at Ethan. "How's he doing?"

Jen smiled when she saw zeke. She kissed his cheek and shrugged. "He's doing a lot better. Hopefully he'll be able to go home soon," Jen said with a smile.
"Mommy who is this? " Ethan asked.
Elena answered for him,"This is my dadddy! Because Damion is not my daddy but mommy said he was but then daddy came back," Elena said with a giggle.

Zeke stood awkwardly with his hands in his pockets after he'd hugged Jennifer, glancing between her and the two kids. When Elena tried to explain who he was, he just laughed. "You didn't tell him, hm?" He looked across at Jennifer with a smile, before glancing back Ethan. "Yeah, I'm Elena's daddy."
