One week until the wedding-

"Dada no leave!" Wyatt screams

Dorthy picks up both of the twins and tries to calm them down. The day Sarah came over Danny booked a flight to go to Jessica. Now it was the next day and Albert was driving him to the airport. The twins were hysterical as their father was preparing to leave.

"Your daddy will be back soon. And he is going to bring mama!" Dorthy says

They both cry in their grandmothers arms reaching for Danny.

Danny walks over to them and hugs them tightly. "I promise you I will be right back." He says

"miss you" Scarlett whines

"I'll miss you too..." he says kissing Scarlett

"We should go." Albert says

Danny puts his head down. "I'm sorry, about all of this." 

"Just bring our daughter back home..." Dorthy says as she bounces the crying babies in her arms.

Danny nods and leaves with Albert.

The car ride over was quite. Danny was nervous to see Jessica. He didn't know how it will all work out. He was oblivious as to what was to come. He just hoped for the best. He missed Jessica, he needed her.

"Danny, you need to go to her strong and positive. Don't let her push you away. You and I both know Jessica loves you with everything she has. She wants to marry you... she's just scared. You need to make her not scared."

"It's hard, Albert. Knowing that Jessica might not want to marry me scares me."

"That's why you won't leave without a fight."

When they get to the airport Danny grabs his bags and heads to his flight. His body was trembling as he waited to board the plane. He kept praying and praying.

Albert's POV-

When Albert got back home the house was silent. Dorthy was sitting on the couch. She looked exhausted. Albert sat next to her and wrapped his arms around his wife.

She sighs "I finally got them down."

"I feel terrible for the little ones."

"I don't know how much more of this I can take." She says as she begins to cry

"D, what do you mean?" He says

"With Jessica and Danny! I hate to say this but I've never had the best feeling with them as a couple! First he gets her pregnant then takes her away to New York, away from home, away from us! When the babies are born she moves here and runs away from him. They are constantly having hardships. Now, a week before their wedding she is a run away bride! What if Danny isn't the one for her? She never would have hesitated with Sam! She truly loved him! Does Jessica truly love Danny?" Dorthy was a mess. She was trying to keep it together all this time but she finally broke. She loved Jessica, she loved Danny, and the twins, of course. But there is always something going on between the two of them. With Jessica picking up and leaving the way she did, it made her think that Jessica is trying to find a way to get out of it all.

"I think she truly loves him... all couples have their hardships. Look back at us, when we were young. You were Jessica. Always scared. You got scared before our wedding day, and you still married me. Look at us all these years later. We are together and happier than ever. We've built a family together. Danny, he's apart of it. I think that he truly loves Jessica too. Maybe some situations weren't ideal but he really does make her happy. And, he's a great dad to this kids. I have faith in him. You have to have faith in him too..."

When Danny landed in Hawaii he immediately got a cab to Jessica's hotel. He was able to easily track where she was from credit card charges. He still hadn't heard from her. He had no idea if she knew he was coming or not.

"Hello, sir, are you a guest here?" The lady at the front desk says as she stops him

He walks to the counter and smiles. "Hi... I forgot my room number. Is there any way you could tell me it?" He knew they wouldn't let him in or tell him anything if he explained he was looking for someone. He played it cook and hoped they'd believe him.

She smiles "Of course. What is the name of the room under?"

"Lange"

"Ahh, yes. Room 503."

"Thank you. I knew it was something around that number!" He says

Danny runs for the elevator and goes down the halls trying to find Jessica's room.

Jessica's POV-

Jessica laid on her bed. She hadn't left her room in the last few days. She just sat there, thinking and thinking and thinking. She was contemplating when to come home, when to call Danny. She knew she'd have to do it all soon. She needed to see her kids. Jessica finally made up her mind.

She tossed her phone back and forth in her hand, thinking about when to call Danny. It had been shut off all these days. When she talked to Sarah she wanted her to tell her family she was okay and nothing more. Sarah was the only one who had contact with Jessica these last few days. She thought Sarah was the only one who knew where she was. Jessica didn't want anyone to find her or come to her.

*knock*

Jessica's heart began to race. She had a do not disturb sign on her door. No one had bothered her until now.

She slowly gets up from the bed and walks to the door.

When she opens it she is shocked to see Danny. She was in disbelief and petrified at the same time.

With out saying a word Danny storms into the room. He looks around then back at Jessica who stood their speechless.

She closes the door and walks over to Danny.

"How could you do this to me, Jessica?" He raises his voice

Jessica closes her eyes and breathes softly.

"How could you just pick up and leave? Drop all communication, book a flight, and go!"

"How did you find me?" She asks

"Wow, that's all you care about?"

Jessica shakes her head and doesn't say a word.

"Credit card accounts, Jessica. It wasn't hard to find you." He snaps

"Danny... I'm so-"

"Don't! Don't apologize!" At first Danny's plan was to bring her home to marry her, but when he saw her he just became so angry. He couldn't hold back what he wanted to say.

"You don't think! You just do! I don't understand you sometimes. What you did, it was beyond selfish. We are getting married in a week! A fucking week. You just get a ticket to Hawaii and do what? What were you trying to get out of this get away? What if something happened to Scarlett or Wyatt? We would have had no way of getting to you. Our children have been crying your name. But you're here, lallygagging." Danny was frantically pacing around the room as he yelled at Jessica. But she just sat their like a statue and didn't move. She wanted Danny to say what he had to say. He had a right to be angry. At this point, Jessica was remorseful and was disgusted with herself.

"Stop!" She ponds her fist onto the dresser and cries.

"I know it was stupid! I'm so stupid!" She screams

Danny didn't feel any guilt. He was too angry.

"Do you even want to marry me? Is this what this is all about? You're trying to get out of marrying me? Because Jessica, if that's the case I'll just leave. I won't bother you. We will go our separate ways."

Jessica tilts her head slightly and looks at Danny with watery eyes.

"Jessica, I love with with all my heart. I've never loved someone as much as I love you. Meeting you, being with you, that was the best decision of my life. You've made me the happiest man alive. I want to marry you so fucking bad. I want to grow old with you. I want to have more children with you. But do you feel the same? Do you feel anything? Or is this all a show because we have children together? That's how I feel right now. Like this is all a show to you."

"That's not true, Danny." She says

"But that's how I feel! It's always about how you feel... what about me? What about how I feel? How I felt when I was sitting alone in our apartment for weeks while you and the twins were in Minnesota without me. How I felt when you said you didn't want to marry me. Or how I felt when you said I was just come kind of sperm donor..." Danny chuckles at the thought of all the things he had been through.

There were so many things from the past being dug up again. Everything Danny said was right. Jessica couldn't argue.

"I'm scared for next week too. Everyone gets scared. But you don't see me picking up and leaving. Jessica we are suppose to be in this together. We are a couple."

Jessica walks over to the bed and sits down. She covers her face and cries. Danny watches her from a distance.

"What do you want, Jessica?"

"I want to be happy." She says

"How can you be happy, Jessica? Is happiness with me?"

"When I was leaving Minneapolis I got scared. I wasn't thinking straight. so many things were in my head. The wedding plans, our little hissy fits, everything! It just hit me so hard... for some reason I needed to get away... I wish I knew why. I took a flight here and I haven't left this room since. I've just been thinking. About everything. Our future, the kids, you..."

The room goes quite. Danny needed his answer. He needed to know if Jessica wanted to be with him or not.

"Jessica... if you don't tell me what you want I'm going to leave. When I leave, I'm not coming back because I'm tired. I'm tired of this. Me always feeling like I'm not good enough for you... that maybe there is someone better for you. I'm tired of you having doubts. I love you Jessica. But I can't move forward unless I know that you love me."

Jessica sits there and stares into Danny's eyes. She cries even harder. He was beginning to doubt everything now. Her love for him, the wedding, and their future together. Jessica didn't say a word.

"Fine" He says grabbing his bags.
