When the nurse went away she grabbed her phone and opened the picture album. There was an image of Anya napping in her arms, a pic with her dad in the kitchen, a snap of Jonas quietly kissing her head while they sat in the hospital yard.

She tapped the screen then whispered; “I will fight I will be back”

Afternoon after the chemo time was done Jessica stopped at the office to ask for info about the costs. She knew her savings were low. She had secretly sold some of her things, even thinking about selling a house from her mother’s inheritance.

“Sorry, Mrs. Jessica,” said the cop “For this round͏ of chemo... everything is paid in full.”

Jessica was surprised. “Paid for? By whom?”

The cop looked at the system. “Paid in a name of Kevin Aprilio”

Jessica stopped. Her hands squeezed the paper she was

    Without noise, tears rolled down her cheeks. Words were of no consequence. To Jessica, Anya’s embrace and loving gaze said everything. That was ample. In the afternoon, Jonas brought the results of the follow-up test. Finding Jessica sitting down, he shared the news. After Anya resumed playing, he showed her the examination results.“Your response to chemo is quite good. But we need to add one more cycle. Your body is strong, Jessica. You can do it.”“I’m beginning to notice that I might be losing hair, and I’m scared that one day I’ll wake up and my body won't function normally.” Jonas softly held her hand.“I know you’re frightened. But you are not alone.”Jessica glanced at Jonas. “Is it okay if I share something?” “Always.”

    He stared at Jonas sharply. “That’s you?”Jonas moved his head bit by bit. “No, but I know a person.”Jessica frowned. “Kevin?”Jonas nodded.Jessica fell silent.Jonas went on, “He paid for all things without telling no one. I just found out yesterday when I asked because there was a chance to enter the patient's priority.”Jessica felt her mind blur. She didn’t take her eyes off the IV drip and the fluid that was dripping at a steady pace.“Why did he do that?” she inquired as though voicing the question took a toll on her. Jonas exhaled sharply.“Maybe... because of guilt. Or love that he couldn’t express. Or because he realized you were the only person who cared about Anya like your own flesh and blood.”

    Randy looked at his girl for a bit, then said softly “Do you love the him.”The ask made Jessica stop. She looked at the TV screen that was now showing the weather, then said “Yes But this time it feels different, calmer deeper.”Randy shook his head. “So don’t let go and don’t do the same errors like last time”Jessica knew what he meant. She nodded.At about nine in the night Jonas said good bye. He grabbed his docs bag and wore a jacket."I'll head home first, alright? I'll return tomorrow morning to see how you are and take you to the hospital."Jessica took him to a door. The air out side was getting chilly, the scent of rain had not fully gone.“Are you certain you do not wish to remain for the night?” she inquired.Jonas grinned. “You need a little time by you

    “Dad…”Randy lifted his hand, wanting some time. Then he cleaned his face. “You see... When you got better at first I felt thankful each day. But now... why must you do this once more?”Jessica came up and grabbed her dad’s hand. “I’m tough, Dad. This time I am not by myself. Jonas is here, Kevin also helps with Anya.”“Kevin?” Randy looked at Jonas for a bit. “Do you care if the kid comes?”Jonas grinned sadly. “In the beginning, it was tough. But I got used to it. Because Jessica isn’t only mine; she is also a mom to Anya.”Randy gave a slow nod. “Anya... Yes, that kid saved your life.”Jessica laughed softly. “Yes, Dad.”Randy hit Jonas on the shoulder. “Thanks for looking after her.”

    Jonas looked at her for a long while then said quiet. “Jessica... when this is done. When you feel good again. Will you begin a new life with me?”Jessica looked at him. “Are you sure? I’m not a full woman now. I have cuts. I have big duties.”"I don't want a great one," Jonas said. "I want you."Jessica smiled. Tired, but full of gratitude.That night, Jessica dozed more deeply than usual. In the chair next to her, Jonas stayed awake, gazing at the face of the woman he cared f͏or with hope. Outside, Kevin came home with a calmer heart; bringing Anya’s coat and bringing home a bit peace.That day, even if it was full of hurt, worry and envy, turned into a day when all past hurts started to get better little by little.Because affection, even if not perfect, is still the best strength a person can hold.
