“Jayce can’t you drive fast,” I sighed, staring at time on my phone. I promised Brandon that I’ll be there in five minutes but it’s half an hour and still on the road.

“I can’t drive faster than this, it’s dangerous,” he said, ignoring my road with his eyes focused on the road.

I know it’s not Jayce’s fault but I’m still stressed, maybe because of the energy that Brandon and Jane are facing right now. I hope and pray that there isn’t anything serious and Maroline is fine.

“What are you so worried about?” Asked Jayce, seeing me all stressed in the car. “Calm down,” He pressed a comfort hand on my thigh that I don’t even noticed was shaking.

I nodded my head. Taking a deep breath. “Marline slipped from stair and broke her leg, and now both Jane and Brandon are taking care of her, and Liam is alone cause Marlone want Jane to be her, they both are in the hospital and they want me to care of laim for the night,”

“I don’t understand a single thing you have mentioned,”

“I’lll explain everything once we reach the hospital,” I said, closing my eyes. It might seem to others that I’m overreacting, but only I know how important are Marlin and Liam for me in my life. I might be a nanny who takes care of them from time to time but in this few I developed a very strong bond with them that might be too hard to describe even for me. The kids are an essential part of my day to day life. When I was alone their company gave me strength to be happy, and their parents Jane and Brandon showed me the true meaning of family that I never knew growing up.

“Everything will be fine and I’ll always be there for you,” Jayce said with a smile.

I smiled back gently, squeezing his hand on my thigh.

“We are here,” JAyce said, parking the car.

“Finally,” I sighed, I called Brandon asking for his location, and entering the hospital with Jayce walking alongside with me.

After some I see, Jane with little Liam snuggle in her arm, as she pulls him to sleep.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Jane, how is Marline,” Jane turned her head upon hearing my voice, along with Liam who was staring at me with his big brown eyes.

“She need undergo some surgery,”

“It’s that serious,” I asked, in concern.

“I don’t know much, there are some reports that are yet to come……, Who is he?” Jane asked, staring who is standing beside me.

“He is Jayce, my…,”

“Her boyfriend,” Jayce added in my place.

I don’t know but it sounds so weird calling him my boyfriend, even when we are in a relationship, maybe because of our weird past.

“I think I’ve seen him somewhere…,” Jane mumbled, her eyes not leaving Jayce.

“Maybe in some cooking show,” Yeah he is quite well known in what he does, even if lives quite a normal life.

Jnew shook her head, “No…. wait I have seen in your phone,”

“Phone,” Both Jayce and I mumbled at the same time.

“Yeah, if I’m not wrong you’re his picture on your homescreen,”

“Jane, you don’t have to say that out loud,” I groaned, turning my head to look at Jayce who had a devilish smirk on his face.

“I Relived your secret I guess,” she said, giving a small smile and left after seeing Brandon walking towards her.

“So I’m not the only one that’s crazy about you,” Brandon smirks.

“Shut up,” I granted again making my way towards Brandon and Jane.

“Thank God Rachel you’re here,” Brandon said, looking all tired and stressed.

“So, how is Marline,”

“Stressed, crying. It’s all my fault, I’m not a good dad to her. I should have taken better care of her,”

“It’s not your fault, bad things happen that don’t make you a bad dad,” Jane said to Bradnon, placing a comforting arm on his shoulder.

I tried my best to not make my situation worse than it already is, taking Laim away from Jane. “You guys, take care of Marline, and Liam will stay night with me.”

“But Rachel…,”Jane tried to complain but was stopped by Brandon.

“She is right, it is not good for Liam to stay the night in the hospital.”

“Brandon is right, Marline needs you and I know even you can’t leave her alone in this condition,”

Jane nodded at words, caressing Liam’s hair. “Please take care of him,”

“Don’t worry, Liam is with his favorite person, right liam,” I said, bouncing liam in my arms making him smile.

“Here are the keys,” Brandon handed me the keys to her house. “And call me in case of any emergency,”

“You don’t have worry about anything, just take care of Marline,”

Both Jane and Brandondon nodded at my words, “Who is he? Asked Brandon, staring at Jyace who was silently watching us talk.

“The guy who pictures Rachel carries around her phone,” Jane said, with a mischievous smirk on her face.

“Wait, he is the one but what about other guys Rachel dates occasionally,” Bradnon said, eyeing Jayce.

“What guys?” questioned Jayce, looking at me.

“I’ll tell you later, now drop me in Brandon’s house,” I said, changing the subject.

“Wait, I can’t leave you alone,” said Brandon.

“Jayce, I’ve to take care of Liam,”

“Then I can help, but you’ll not be alone,”

“See I can’t trust some random dude with my child,” said Brandon, staring at Jayce.

“See I know you are concerned but I can’t leave Rachel alone,” Jayce replied.

“Rachel say something to your boyfriend,”

“Jayce, Brandon is right. You’re a complete stranger to them.”

“I know that too, but I still can’t leave you alone.”

“Rachel,” Both Brandon and Jayce groaned at the same time.

“Wait you guys,” Jane interrupted.

“Rachel, do you trust Jayce,” Questioned Jane.

“I do”

“And we trust you, just don’t break our trust,” Jane said, looking at jayce. “You can stay only because the trust I have in Rachel,”

“I’ll never break your trust on Rachel,” Jayce nodded at Jane’s words.

“Jane..,” Bradnon complained at Jane’s words. “You can’t just trust him like these,”
