Jess explains that the relationship with Rome was over before she became pregnant, and she had mentally checked out. Despite Rome's actions, she desired a family dynamic and wanted to grow up with him. She felt Rome was selfish because he didn't want her but also didn't want her with anyone else. She also clarifies that co-parenting with Rome was always present, but it was initially with her mother, not directly with Rome, and that she gave Rome grace due to his past trauma and her mother's influence.
