Jake and Anna One Shots

I Want You Back

Jake: Hey.

Anna: Hi. 

Jake: Thanks for coming.

Anna: Well, you said it was important, so make it quick I have to get back to the boys.

Jake: How are the boys?

Anna: They're fine. What did you want to talk about?

Jake: I want to apologize for everything I put you through.

Anna: Ok, is that all I have to get back, I told Kelley I wouldn't be gone long.

Anna went to get up off the chair when Jake put his hand on her arm to stop her.

Jake: Wait; Anna don't go yet.

Anna: What else is there to say?

Jake: I want you back.

Anna just sat there and looked at him.

Anna: I just served you with divorce papers.

Jake: I know, when I got them I said to myself I need to get my family back so I've been going to anger management classes and AA meetings I've cleaned myself up and I'm asking for another chance to be your husband and a father to our boys.

Anna: You changed your mind after getting divorce papers?

Jake: I love you; I love the boys I want us to be a family again.

Anna: I can't do this right now I have to go.

Jake: Just think about it, please.

Anna got up and walked out of the coffee shop when she got in the car she sat there for a minute before driving home.

Anna: Hey boys? I'm back.

Kelley: Hey, how did it go?

Anna: He said he wants me back.

Kelley: What did you tell him?

Anna: I told him I had to go I didn't know what to say to him.

Kelley: Are you having conflicting thoughts?

Anna: He said he got the divorce papers then he realized he wanted us back, I don't know if I can trust him plus Ethan is still afraid of him.

Kelley: Did you tell him that?

Anna: No, I just said the boys were fine then I changed the subject. Do you think I should give him another chance?

Kelley: Do you love him?

Anna: I do.

Kelley: I think you have your answer.

Anna: Ethan, doesn't want him to come back, he's afraid of him.

Kelley: You have to tell Jake how Ethan feels then go from there.

Anna: I don't know if we can get back to where we were.

Kelley: Don't go back, go forward, this could be a fresh start for all of you.

Anna: You're right. Thanks for watching the boys were, they good for you?

Kelley: They were great we played in the backyard.

Anna: Are they still out there?

Kelley: Yep, I came in to grab a couple of juice boxes.

Anna: I can grab them if you have things you need to do today?

Kelley: I'm, free all day so if you want to talk more I can stay.

Anna: That would be great.

Anna and Kelley grabbed the juice boxes and some fruit and headed to the backyard. When they walked out back, Noah came running over to her.

Noah: Hi, mommy how was your meeting?

Anna: It was fine; see I came back just like I said I would.

Noah ran off to play with his brother while Anna and Kelley sat and talked at the table. A few minutes later, Britt showed up.

Britt: Hey, sorry I couldn't watch the boys for you.

Anna: No, problem.

Britt: Hey, Kelley?

Kelley: Hey, Britt.

Britt: So what are we talking about?

Anna: I saw Jake today.

Britt: How did that go?

Anna: He told me he wants me back.

Britt: How do you feel about that?

Anna: I would love to have my family back. I just don't know if I can trust him he said he only wanted me back after he got the divorce papers.

Britt: Maybe that's what he needed, how does he look?

Anna: He looks good like he's slept and not drinking anymore. He said he's been going to anger management and AA meetings.

Britt: I know about the meetings.

Anna: How do you know?

Britt: He called me he wanted to apologize, so I went and saw him.

Anna: Why didn't you tell me that?

Britt: He asked me not to he didn't want it to look like I was the one telling him what to do.

Anna: So he thought about everything on his own.

Britt: He had already been to a meeting before he called me.

Anna: I'm glad he apologized to you.

The girls continued to talk while the boys played later on in the day the girls left, and Anna made dinner for the boys.
