We'll just keep going

 

There was still a long road ahead of them, but Jay assured Ivy that everything was fine and that he would take Hope on weekends. Of course, she looked to be in another world and she didn't have much thought in wanting to know what was really going on with him.

Naturally, he was apologetic. And said he would make up for lost time. "If you'd like she could just stay with me, for a while."

"That would be good," Ivy said. 

Jay winced, thinking he never remembered her this pregnant with Hope. Besides, she didn't have high blood pressure with Hope. 

She and Dan were having a boy. Something else to consider. The gene factor. Maybe Jay was always meant to be just a Girl Dad which he was fine with. At least, he now thought for certain it was Dan's baby not his. Besides, he did have other things to worry about. Lindy and her personalities.

She would not be going back to that hospital. After all the bills were already outrageous. At least, he got her to stay on at the factory where they both worked. She did need the insurance. It was doubtful, that her father was going to come to her rescue.

But Jay told him everything that she remembered about her childhood which set Frank off. He wasn't talking to no one now. Which Jay should have known would have happened. Actually, maybe it was all for the best. The less they saw of Frank, the more they could get back to their own routine.

He moved back into his apartment and Vanna and Koda found a one-bedroom not far from where Jay and Lindy lived. 

Still, Lindy needed medications and therapy. But she seemed to be glad to have a home with him and of course, Hope.

"But I'm worried," Bom was the only one who didn't like it, but then she didn't mention it to Ivy. "If..if she's too much, then Hope can stay with us." At least Bom offered.

Jay told her if he needed to, he would, but really he needed both Hope and Lindy in his life.
