Jessica held her legs close, the phone still against her ear. "Sometimes I feel a bit greedy... because I wish you will always be here, even if you have your own life and things to do." Jonas let out a breath. “If my life can be a spot for you to rest on, that’s not a giving up, that’s an honor.” Jessica was quiet for a long while. Her heart felt as if it was full of something cozy. "Jonas I wish to live," she said softly "Not only for Anya but also for you." Jonas’ sound was gentle, nearly cracking. “I know, And I’ll make sure you got every reason to keep living.” After she hung up, Jessica stood up slowly, walking to Anya’s room. She opened the door and saw the small girl sleep peacefully hugging a favorite rabbit doll. Jessica sat on the side of bed, patting Anya's hair. “I love you kid, I love yo

This time, Jessica could not stop her tears. She held Anya close. "Auntie wants that too honey, Auntie will fight." In that embrace Jessica knew, even if her body was beginning to fade, even if her mind was full of dread, the love from the kid who wasn’t her own flesh and blood was a reason to keep on. The day after, a chilly morning covered the tiny home where Jessica stayed with her dad. Rain drops were still falling from the plants but the air felt more peaceful. Jessica was still resting, her body not fully better from the long night. Jonas sat in the kitchen with Randy, both holding a cup of coffee, which was getting cold. Jonas's face looked serious, his eyes were looking at the hall to Jessica room. "She’s running low on air," Randy said softly. "Last night she was shaking a lot. I nearly called an ambulance if you didn’t show up." Jonas shook his head, t

The IV sharp was still stuck in her left hand. Helpers came every few hours to swap fluids and check her blood pressure. All was done quickly, but with a kind sound of voice like they knew this patient was not just battling body sickness, but also a hidden inner fight. A young nurse called Livia walked in with a plate of food. "Good morning Mrs. Jessica! Here's today's breakfast. We cooked chicken mushy as asked by Doctor Jonas." Jessica smiled weakly. "Thank you, Ms. Livia." If you want something just call me I be on duty till this afternoon. Jessica nodded. When Livia went out, she looked at the porridge for a bit. Her hunger still hadn't came back all the way, but she knew her body needed food. Softly she had small bites, trying to push herself. Each bite was hard, but it was also a way of living for Anya. Around noo

Jonas said yes, “I’m off this afternoon so I can be home till night.” Kevin looked at Jonas for a bit then he nodded, “Okay it will be my turn to help tonight” The small deal was a type of pact with few words. Not since they didn’t wish to chat more, but since they knew the most key thing now was to look after Jessica and Anya not their own egos. When Jessica went home with Jonas from the hospital, the mood felt sad. Anya ran quick to hug her when she saw Jonas car come in͏to the yard. "Aunt!" Anya yelled, letting go of her toy and reaching out her arms. Jessica got out of the car slowly, with Jonas' help. She wore a light coat and a knit cap for protect her head that was starting to lose hair. When Anya hugged her, she almost cried. "Aunt misses you," she whispered, hugging her small body tight. "I dre

"Kevin," she called softly. Kevin smiled slightly. "Yes?" "I also want to talk to you privately." Kevin sat down immediately. "About what?" Jessica looked at her old husband's face for a while. "About Anya and about us." Kevin glanced down for a bit then nodded. "I get you." "I see you feel bad and you are trying to fix it in the best way you can. But I also see you still have some hurts that haven't gotten better." Kevin chuckled sadly. "Cuts that I made myself" "But you ͏are trying to mend all things. I see that, and I value it. Anya feels it too, she's getting nearer to you." Kevin gave a quick nod, trying not to show his feelings. “She’s my world now” Jessica breathed out. “I want you to understand... If I can’t be near you anymore, I want you

As the night came, Jessica just fell asleep. Her face was calm, but her body seemed a lot weaker. By the bed, Jonas stood watch holding Jessica’s book what he found on a little table. He read few pages slow. Jessica’s words were like a nice string that tied hopes and worries. On last page she wrote this morning, it was wrote: Today I might not be as tough as the day before. But Anya’s grin, her small giggle, that's enough for me to hold on for tomorrow. In the lounge Kevin and Randy was making a plan for visitation times for next week who would go with them to the hospital who would take care of Anya. Kevin saw the notes and said, “Are you sure a you can do this?” R͏andy tapped him on the shoulder “If we aren’t sure who will? We’ve gone too far to back off.” Kevin nodded and on his face was the same

Anya gave a nod. “If you are sleepy, you can go to bed. I will read your book.” Jessica hugged her again. “Auntie loves you.” That day, Jessica asked Anya to sit in the yard. They put some flower seeds that Jonas brought from a hospital. Kevin made tea while Jonas helped dig dirt. “If this bloom grows, we will give it a name okay?” Jessica said while petting the dirt. Anya nodded. “I want to name it Auntie’s flower.” Kevin laughed. “That’s a nice name.” Jessica looked at Jonas. “Do you want to call it too” Jonas grinned. "The bloom of wish. Cause it still grows even when it’s raining." Jessica gave a weak smile then looked back at the dirt she had felt. Her shaking hands were still trying to help the small life that was set in.

Time felt to go slow in the hospital hall that afternoon. In the treatment room, the quiet beep of the heart monitor filled the air, with a drip of IV and soft hiss of oxygen from the mask on Jessica's face. Jonas was still here, not wanting to go even with the nurses giving him a rest. His eyes were worn out but his heart wouldn't let him go from the lady he had quietly cared for with love that never wanted anything back. Jessica opened her eyes once more, weakly. “Anya,” she whispered. Jonas leaned in. “Anya’s fine, dear. She’s at home with your dad and Kevin” Jessica blinked slowly. “She cried, didn’t she?” Jonas shook his head. “A bit. But she’s tough. Just like you.” Jessica tried to grin, but her face was too tired. “If I’m not tough enough will you look after her?&rdquo

Anya smiled again, a little brighter this time. As if she truly believed the promise would be kept, and that everything would be okay.After a few quiet, gentle minutes, Jonas stroked Anya’s shoulder. “Auntie Jessica needs to rest now.”Anya looked at Jessica. “Okay. Sleep well. I’ll keep the picture safe so it won’t get crumpled.”Jessica gave her a faint smile. “You’re such a good girl…”Anya kissed Jessica’s forehead, then took Jonas’s hand again. Before leaving, she turned once more. “Don’t forget your promise, Auntie.”When the door closed, Jonas let out a long sigh and returned to sit at Jessica’s bedside. He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out the small letter Jessica had written to him.He slowly unfolded the paper. Her slightly slanted handwriting filled the small page:Jonas, If you're reading this, it means you're still here. Thank you… for everything. I know you’re tired. But you stayed. If one day I can’t wake up, please tell Anya I kept my promise. That I went h

Kevin lowered his head, wringing his fingers. “If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t have walked out that night. I wouldn’t have left her to face everything alone.”“She’s forgiven you, sweetheart,” Randy said gently. “But sometimes... it’s harder to forgive ourselves.”Kevin gave a small nod. “But I want to learn. If she wakes up… I promise I’ll be a better father and co-parent to Anya.”Jonas stepped out of the room and walked over to them. He didn’t say much—just sat beside Kevin and Randy. The three men fell into a long, thoughtful silence, each lost in their own thoughts.“She moved a little. Not awake yet. The meds are still working,” Jonas said quietly.Randy stood up. “I’d like to see her for a moment.”Jonas nodded, and Randy entered the room gently. He sat in the chair on the right side of the bed, silentl
