chapter 2

- Jenson proposes the child support and pays extra just to have everything kept hidden from the press

- Jessi finally agrees to his terms as she really couldn’t make him change his mind and she agrees to a $10000 a month settlement as opposed to his first proposition of $30000

- News still spread somehow and it didn’t help that his and Arni’s divorce was brought up again in one magazine interview. His ex-wife unintentionally spilled some well-kept information

- Jess gets frustrated and mad at him for not keeping his promise to her and to her parents. Again she threatened him of taking the kids and this time migrating to another country

- Jenson skillfully tries to convince her to do otherwise and promised her again that he’d keep the twins safe and away from the public eye at all costs

- Darren, Gwen, Mikhail, Violet and her former co-workers try to contact her and all of them show their support

- And then Arni finally decides to meet her in person

- They talk for about an hour without Jenson knowing anything

- Thankfully Arni apologizes to causing more buzz about their family’s gauche and difficult situation and in the end wished her and Jenson well and even asked her if she could meet the twins

- Arni gets engaged to her long-time friend and movie producer and later announces they’re expecting their firstborn early next year

- Her parents forgive Jenson after his promise wasn’t kept that well. Before they all spend the holidays together in Maui Jenson had told them he’d asked Jessi to quit her full-time job to rest for a while

- Jessi’s parents finishes their five-day stay so Mr. Kinley gets back to work and leaves them and the twins to enojy the rest of their three-week stay in Hawaii

- Jenson starts confessing to Jessi how he really felt for her. Jess gets extremely anxious again, starts to have trouble sleeping, and keeps distant from him

- He knew what was bothering her and apologizes to her but still eagerly asked her what was going on

- During their last few weeks in Hawaii he tries to talk to her again about what was happening after he noticed she could barely eat

- Jess admits to getting depressed and having anxiety attacks again

- He helps her through it by talking her out of it everyday, taking care of her as much as he’d been taking care of the twins

- She gets better after the second week and spends her birthday in Honolulu with the twins and their dad

- Jenson surprises her by giving her a 20-carat diamond necklace and a promise that he’d take care of her and the twins no matter what

- Despite feeling extremely apprehensive and suspicious as to why he gave her such an extravagant gift, she accepts it and the fact that she still was too in love with him after all that has happened

- Their last night in Hawaii, she and Jenson sleep together unexpectedly. She ends up regretting the whole thing the morning after, while he reasons to her again and again that it wasn’t a mistake, and that it couldn’t hurt their current friendly relationship or else he’d snap and go nuts

- After they arrive back in Raleigh, she starts to have anxiety attacks again for weeks and wasn’t thankful she had just quit her regular job for the plain reason what happened in Hawaii was all she could think about everyday

- Her parents help her out as Jenson leaves them alone for more than three months to work on an independent film. He goes back to Jackson to buy a small $200,000-house and lot near theirs

- She surprises him by telling him she might be pregnant

- Caught off guard and somehow excited, he buys her ten pregnancy test kits just so they wouldn’t have to go to a doctor and have gossip spread around again

- Having used three test kits in one day, she was relieved to find out it was a false alarm

- Jenson gets disappointed at the results and gets annoyed at her evident relief after finding out it was nothing

- He asks her what’s so wrong with them having another baby and she ignores his ardent inquiry and answered him in an impassive manner so everything turns into a serious argument

- She blames him for ruining what little friendship they were having and threatens him to move again and take the kids away if he wouldn’t stop talking about what should happen to their relationship

- Three months past the twins’ fourth birthday and two short films and a TV cameo after, Jenson goes back to Raleigh, proposes to her and she just freezes in shock and disbelief

- He threatened her this time and swore her he would get her pregnant again if she sacks his proposal

- Even after a full month, she still couldn’t believe he was asking her to marry him, so she worked her ass off just to convince him just moving in together was far better

- Thankfully, he agrees, but not her parents, so they end up in a church anyway
