"Mommy, I don't wanna get tested!  I'm scared!" Emerson cries.

"Honey, you're okay.  Do you want mommy to go first?"

Emerson pouts and nods his head.

"Okay. Willow, how do you feel?"

"I'm fine.  I'm just a little worried."

"I know, love.  Everything is going to be okay."

"What if we have it too?"

"Then the doctor will give us medicine and we'll be fine."

**

Jessica was first to get tested.

"Oof!"

"Are you okay, momma?" Emerson asks.

"I'm fine, precious!  It was a piece of cake." Jessica smiles.

"You lie." Emerson pouts.

"Would I lie to my very own baby boy?"

"No.."

"Yep!  So be brave and strong."

"Hold my hand?"

"Of course!" Jessica reaches back and takes her son's hand.

...

"Ah!  I don't like it!" Emerson cries as he's being tested.

"You lied, mommy!"

"Oh Emmy, you're okay."

"I don't wanna do this!" Willow says with a scared look on her face.

"Willow, you're doing it.  Be a big girl.  You'll be okay, love."

Willow takes a deep breath and waits patiently for her turn.

**

"That wasn't bad, Emerson!  I'm stronger than youuuu." Willow turns her nose up at him.

"Stop it, Willow.  Masks up, kiddos."

"Ugh!  But I hate it."

"Willow, put it on."

"I want a new one."

"I do not have another one, Willow.  Just put it on, please."

"Okay.."

Just a few minutes later the three received their results.

"Mrs. Huston, you and Willow are positive.  Emerson is negative."

"Are you serious?" Jessica sighs.

"I'm sorry."

"Thank you."

Jessica wasn't worried about herself.  She was vaccinated and hoped that meant she would get through this easier.  However she was extremely worried for Willow.  She had no protection.

Jessica drove over and parked while the rest of the family was tested.

**

Gabriella and her family were all negative so they decided to go back to their home.

Anastasia, Ashton and Annabelle were all negative as well.  Jessica felt so much relief each time she found out another child was negative.

Next up are Noah and his family.  All negative as well.

Then finally Isaiah and his family.

Isaiah drove up beside Jessica's van.

"So?"

"Jessie's got it."

"Aw not my baby boo boo." Jessica pouts. "How did she get it?"

"She's glued to you, momma."

"So it's my fault?"

"No, actually it's dad's."

"Thank you!  Well let me trade you Emerson for Jessica and I'll drive home and head straight into the duplex with Lolo And Jess."

"Thanks.  I'm sorry."

"Don't be.  Your father should be the one apologizing."

"Mommy I don't wanna go with them.  I want you!" Emerson says from the backseat.

"I want you too baby, but it's not safe for you to be around me and sissy."

"I wish I had it too." Emerson cries softly.

"Don't say that, Emmy!  I'll FaceTime you, okay?  You just need to stay nice and safe."

"I love you so much, mommy."

"Oh goodness, I love you so much more Emmy!"

**

Jessica made a virtual appointment for her, Willow, and baby Jessica, and they all got settled into the duplex.

Back in the house professional cleaners were cleaning from top to bottom to help keep the rest of the family safe.

"Gamma, I sick?" Jessie asks.

"Well.. yes but, do you feel sick?"

"Me no feel sick!"

"That's good!"

"I don't either!  I don't think I have it, momma.  Do you feel sick?"

"Well I've been sick from my stomach, but I didn't realize that's what it was."

"Oh.. I'm sorry your tummy is sick."

"Thank you, princess." Jessica smiles softly. "So girls!  What would you like for me to make you for dinner?"

"Pizza!" Willow smiles.

"Sketti!" Jessie smiles.

"Pizza and sketti." Jessica giggles.

"Hmm.. How about I make hamburgers?"

"Mommy, that's not what we asked for." Willow nods.

"I'm just messing with you girls."

"I'll take spaghetti if that's what the baby wants.

"You sure?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Gamma hold me!" Jessie falls forward onto Jessica.

Jessica laughs and pats her back. "You are such a sweet and dramatic little girl."

"I not girl!"

"You're not?"

"I a Monsterrrrrr!"

"Oh my goodness, Ahhhh!"

Jessie immediately starts cracking up.

"You scared me Ms. Monster!"

"Yeah!" Jessie giggles.

Jessica kisses her cheek before turning to Willow.

"Lolo, my love."

"Yes mommy?"

"Will you please take Jessica and keep her entertained while I cook dinner?  Make sure she doesn't get into anything she's not supposed to."

"Okay, mommy!"

Jessica smiles and waits for them to leave the room.  She then picks up her phone and calls Danny.

".. Hello?" Danny answers in a horrible voice. "How is everybody?"

"I am beyond angry with you, Daniel!"

"Why?"

"I have it, and so does Willow and Jessie."

"What?!  Jess, I'm so sorry."

"Save it, Daniel!  Damn you!  I am so pissed!  I have done everything I can possibly do to keep this shit out of the house, and you go out, cheat on me, and bring it back into this house!  Fuck You, Daniel Huston."

"She doesn't have it, I asked."

"Oh so you're still talking to this whore?"

"No! I mean, I just called her to find out if she was sick too. I wanted to know who I got it from."

"I don't wanna hear any goddamn excuses."

"Jess I have to tell you something."

"What? Is she pregnant?"

"No! I got a vasectomy, you know that."

Jessica rolls her eyes.

"It's about me."

"Well I don't really care to hear it, Danny. Fuck You."

Jessica hangs up and tosses the phone on the kitchen counter before she sighs and rubs her hand through her hair.

Danny set his phone down on his bed and looked around the room. The grey walls seemed to be closing in on him.

Danny had recently checked himself into the hospital. He was alone and scared.

Danny hoped he'd be able to speak with Jessica soon. He wanted to make amends with his family in case anything were to happen to him.
