Secret child (open)

"I know," Nate murmured to her, rubbing circles on her back to reassure her, "I'm sorry love. It's going to be okay."

Jessica looked at Nathan with sad eyes " If you say so)"

Nate hugged her tighter and kissed the top of her head, trying to comfort her.

Jeessica pushed away her tray of food "I'm not hungry" she said.

"Love, you have to eat. You can't just skip lunch." Nate pulled the tray closer to them again.

"I Don't have a baby in me anymore I don't have to support a human being inside me" she says.

"But you still have to keep up your strength for taking care of Lucy. She still needs you to support her." He responded, brushing her hair out of her eyes.

Jessica smiled up at her boyfriend " she has you" she points out.

"She doesn't always want me." Nate chuckled lightly, "You and her have a special bond that only a mother and child can have. She needs you even more than she needs me."

Jessica smiled " But I need you " She said gently.

"But you also need to eat." Nate coaxed, holding up a forkful of spaghetti to her lips.

"UGG" jessica whined after rolling her eyes but opened her mouth.

"See, that's better." Nate chuckled and continued to feed her so she couldn't try to convince her way out of eating lunch.

Jessica rolled her eyes playfully at her boyfriend.

"Come on! Eat up!" Nate grinned at her, holding up another forkful of food.

Jessica crossed her arms over his chest. " Answer this question How much do you ;ove me?"

"What do you mean?" Nate asked, his face turning to confusion. "Of course I love you, why would you even ask something like that?" He asked, feeling hurt that she would question how much he loves her.

Jessica suddenly felt bad and put a hand on his cheek.

Nate looked down in shame, "Look, I know I haven't been here for you this past year, but that doesn't mean I don't love you." He mumbled.

Jessica sighed at Nathan's comment. " I Know Nate bu your traveling theworld you never know you might find someone you love more than me".

(Sorry, but I forgot to tell you that I'm gonna be going on vacation until Wednesday. I might be able to get online a little bit while I'm gone, but I don't know when or for how long…sorry again)
Nate laughed exasperatedly, "I hardly ever got to leave the tour bus or hotel so you wouldn't have had to worry about that anyways."

Jessica had tears in her eyes as she looked up at Allie.

"Well, Nate, I think you should always make time for your friend. Anywho," Allie said, sitting down with Tyler. Resting her head on her hand, she raised her eyebrows. "How's life?"

"It's amazing. I loved being on tour but I missed my beautiful girlfriend." Nate answered, kissing Jessica's cheek with a grin as he said the last part.

Jessica's cheeks flushed red and jessica hid her face in nates chest to hide it

Nate chuckled and ran his fingers through her hair, playing with the purple strands, hoping it would make her feel a little less embarrassed.

"Ha. Of course. I remember how much you missed me when you were on tour… You sent me letters, because we felt that no one appreciated the original form of communication anymore. Anyway, Nate dear, you look ttired. Why?"

Jessica clenched her hands into fist. She was about two seconds away from punching this girl in the face.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. Just ignore her. She's trying to get a reaction from you." Nate murmured to Jessica, hugging her closer to him before turning back to Allie. "That's enough Allie. You don't need to bring any of that up." He scolded her with a scowl on his face.

Jessica turned away from Nathan tears rolling down her cheeks "I gotta go" she said and stood up and slowly began to leave the Cafe.
