A feeding tube?! That thought terrified Jess, so she could imagine Jesse was losing his mind. She sat down on the other side of him and gently pulled him against her. "Of course you're scared," she said, her voice soothing. "But Jayden's lucky because we're going to be here for him. I suppose it's unfortunate he hurt himself, but it does mean we found out about this now instead of later."
"Exactly," Nicholas agreed, turning to rub Jesse's back. There, on either side of him, they offered Jesse comfort. "You're not alone, Jesse, you have us to help."
