you’ll do something stupid to mess shit up again.”
    I can’t help but laugh in return. “Yeah, I probably will. But it won’t be intentional.”
    “Well, I’m going to go and help put some of the shit we bought today away. Matt’s mom wants to make a huge dinner tonight. I promised to help get stuff prepared.” He pats my back. “It will be okay man. She loves you. Trust me.” He says before he turns and walks back toward the house. I take a seat on one of the wooden chairs and think about what the hell I’m going to do with her. As much as I want to run to her and sweep her off her feet, I know Jenna too well to know she doesn’t work that way. I’ve played this moment out hundreds of times in my head since she left, but now? Now I’m drawing a blank.
    Finally deciding that sitting here isn’t doing me or her any good, I get up and make my way back off the dock. When I make it closer to the house, I find Matt walking down the sidewalk toward the beach. “Hey bro.” He says. I just nod. “Still scared shitless?” Nodding and chuckling, I answer with a silent shrug. “Dude. Don’t stress it. She loves you. She also needs you to be with her more than anything right now. Even if she doesn’t forgive you, which you know she will. Just be there for her. Alright?”
    “Alright.” I say with a heavy sigh. I lean against the bench and watch him reunite with his daughter and “sister”. After a few minutes, I push myself away from the bench and tuck my hands in my pockets. She always gets on me for doing this when I’ve got something bothering me. The woman knows me way too well. She looks in my direction and when our eyes meet, she leaves Matt and Danika and makes her way to me. My heart is pounding a mile a minute. I’m not sure if she is going to yell and scream at me or give me the silent treatment.
    “Hey.” I say meeting her half way.
    “Hey.” She responds. We stand in an awkward silence for what seems like forever until Matt breaks the silence.
    “I’ll tell you what guys. I’m going to take my daughter in the house so I can spend some time with her. That way you two can have some privacy.” He says kissing Jenna on the cheek. I give Danika a quick kiss as she smacks my face making me scrunch my nose at her causing her to giggle. He nods in my direction and takes her back to the house.
    “Um… Can we talk?” My voice is shaky with every word I say. Of course we need to talk. I’m so fucking stupid sometimes.
    “I think we need to, so yeah.” She states the obvious and turns toward the shoreline. I take off my shoes and leave them by the umbrella before catching up to her. We walk side by side for about five minutes before I take her hand in mine, surprised she didn’t pull away. I need this connection more than anything right now.
    “Listen Jenna. You know as well as I do that I’m shit at this so I’m just going to get it out okay?”
    She stops, but keeps her hand in mine. The water brushes up against our ankles, slowly burying our feet in the sand. “Okay.”
    “I’m sorry for not telling you about Carmen. I realize now that I should have said something to you before, but because he isn’t mine… oh.” I pull out the test results and hand it to her. She takes it with shaky fingers. “I made sure this was done before we left.”
    “I don’t need this Gabriel.” She says softly. “It doesn’t matter.”
    “I want you to read it. I want to read it together.” I insist. With a deep sigh, she lets my hand go and begins to open the envelope. I move to stand behind her and instinctively, she leans her body against mine. As we both read the paper that says that the results show that LG isn’t my child, we both release a huge breath we’ve been holding in. Well, that’s one down, I think to myself.
    “Why didn’t you say something before?” She asks. I’m waiting for her to yell at me and tell me she hates my guts.
    “Because I was already fighting my family about
