Jessica and Seth finally got married. They were very happy, altho both of them still loved their first husband and wife. Jessica was now Jessica Hazlitt, but she still wrote as J.B. Fletcher. Seth was always kinda in love with Jessica and so was she, but it took her a long time to realize that. And now, they are finally together. And not only as friends, but as husband and wife.
Their wedding wasn't very big. Just a family and a couple of friends. Of course, there were Mort, Grady and Donna, too. Seth was looking very handsome and Jessica was wearing a beautiful gray dress. They both were looking great.
Now, they are back from honeymoon which they spent in England. They are beggining a new life, as husband and wife. They are planning to live in Cabot Cove, in Jessica's house.
"And, how are you feeling now, mrs Hazlitt?" Seth asked.
"I have never felt better. Thanks for asking, mr Hazlitt", Jessica replied.
"I love you", he said and kissed her.
"I love you, too", she said.
Then he took her and carried her to their new home.
"What are we going to do this evening?" Seth asked.
"I thought we should have a nice dinner, then watch TV and go to sleep", Jessica laught.
"Good idea", Seth smiled.
"I'm going to make us some", Jessica said.
"And I will help you", Seth said.
"Oh, you're wonderful", Jessica smiled.
After a lovely dinner, they watched TV. But they were talking all the time, so they didn't even know what was movie all about. It was already quite late, so they went to bed. They were the happiest when they were together.
Days were going quite fast and they were married already for six months. Jessica wasn't feeling very well lately, but she thought she was just sick and she was also very nervous because of the new book she was writing. She was constantly pale and tired. She was throwing up all the time. Seth took a good care of her. He examined her, but he didn't found out what was wrong with her. He wanted to take her to hospital, but Jessica refused to go. Seth was very worried.
One day he went to Mort.
"How is mrs F.?" Mort asked.
"Oh, she still isn't well. She need to go to hospital. I don't know what's wrong with her, but she just doesn't listen. I have never met more stubborn woman in my whole life. She said she's okay, but she is still throwing up", Seth said.
"Oh, I didn't know. I'll talk to her", Mort said.
"Thank you very much. You are very good friend. Maybe with you, Jessica will come to her senses", Seth said.
Oh, no problem. You know I love mrs F. and you", Mort smiled.
Later that evening, Seth was going home. But at his and Jessica's house was some another car. It was Marshall's car. Marshall was Jessica's older brother. Seth went to the house.
"Hello, everybody! I'm home!" Seth said.
"We're in the living room", Jessica yelled.
"Hey, everybody", Seth said, "hey, Marshall, how are you?"
"I'm fine. Thanks for asking. And, how are you?" Marshall asked.
"Good", Seth smiled.
"Marshall is going to stay with us for a few days", Jessica said.
"Oh, that's great. He can be with you while I'm working", Seth said.
"Well, let's eat", Jessica said.
They went to the kitchen and after a great dinner, they were talking. At one moment, Jessica stood up fast and without any word, she started running to bathroom.
"What's wrong with her?" Marshall asked.
"I don't know. She doesn't want to go to the hospital, but she throwing already for one month. I am worried", Seth said.
"I'm gonna talk to her in the morning", Marshall said, "she will listen her older brother".
"Thank you", Seth said.
Right in that moment, Jessia walked in.
"Hey... What's the matter, my dear?" Marshall asked.
"Oh, nothing. I washed my hands", Jessica lied.
Oh, really?" I wouldn't run just to wash my hands", Marshall said.
"Well, it's late! Let's go to the bed!" Jessica said.
They all went to sleeping, but Marshall was thinking what was wrong with his little sister.
It was morning at Jessica and Seth's house. Jessica and Seth woke up, but Marshall was still sleeping. Seth went to work and right in that moment, Marshall woke up.
"Good morning, sleppy head", Jessica said.
"Oh, good morning, my dear", Marshall said.
"Do you fancy some breakfast?" Jessica asked.
"Oh, yeah. I would love some", Marshall said quickly.
Jessica gave him eggs and bacon. They started a conversation.
"So... Jess, you know that you can tell me everything. What's wrong with you?" Marshall asked.
"Well, everything's fine. Seth and I are great. He is really good. But, I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't feel very well. And, I don't want to go to the doctor because I'm afraid it could be something serious", Jessica sighed.
"Well, Jessie, I think you're not sick. I think that everything's fine", Marshall said.
"What are you trying to say?" Jessica asked.
"I think you're pregnant", Marshall smiled.
"That's impossible. My doctor said my chances are 1:1000", Jessica said angrily.
"Well, there's still a possibility. We'll go to doctor today and we'll see", Marshall said.
"Okay, I'll go... But, I'm too old to be pregnant. I am fifty years old", Jessica said.
"You'll see", Marshall laughed.
Later that day, they were at doctors office. Jessica was quite excited. She just wanted to know the truth. She made all tests that doctor gave her and they were waiting for results.
All of the sudden, Jessica heard doctor's voice: "Mrs Hazlitt, please come in".
She walked into doctors office.
"Please, ma'am, sit down", doctor said.
Jessica had a feeling that it was something really bad if doctor was asking her to sit down.
"Well, ma'am. I have to tell you a happy news. You're pregnant", he said.
"Are... Are you serious?" Jessica was shocked.
"Yes, 100% sure", doctor said.
"Well, I'm too old... And, you told me that my chances are 1:1000. And, why it didn't workout before, when Frank and I were still married?" Jessica was still confused.
"Oh, no. You're not too old. And, I suppose it just happend. You just had luck. I don't know why it didn't workout before. But, aren't you happy?", doctor asked.
"Of course I am, but I am a little bit confused. Will everything be alright with the baby? I'm not young anymore", Jessica said.
"Everything is going to be fine. You just need to calm down and rest.. And, of course, tell Seth the happy news", doctor smiled.
"Ok... Thank you", Jessica smiled.
"See you soon?" doctor asked.
"Oh, yeah... Goodbye", Jessica said.
"Bye", doctor said.
Jessica told Marshall the news. He was so happy for her.
"I will take a good care of you while I'm still here. I want to be her for my little nephew or niece", Marshall said.
"Thank you", Jessica smiled.
Jessica was incredibly happy, but she didn't want to show that because she wanted to see Seth's reaction. They weren't very young anymore. Would he like to raise a child? She was ready. She just couldn't stop smiling. Marshall did notice that and he didn't ask a thing. He knew his sister very well and he know how long did she wanted this. He also smiled. His younger sister was having a baby.
Soon they arrived home.
"Jess, you just sit down and I will make the lunch", Marshall said.
"Oh, Marshall. That's completely unnecessary. I'm not sick, I'm pregnant. And, you're a terrible cook", Jessica laughed.
"Ok... You're right. You'll make the lunch. But later, I will take a good care of you", Marshall smiled.
Jessica went to make lunch and right then, Mort showed up.
"Hey, mrs F., how are you?" Mort asked.
"Oh, I'm fine. Much better now", Jessica said.
"Oh, that's great", Mort smiled.
"Are you hungry?" Jessica asked.
"Oh, mrs F., you know that I never say no to you. But, I have a lot of work to do. See you soon. Bye", Mort said.
"Ok, bye-bye", Jessica said.
She and Marshall ate and then he said her to sit down and he'll get her whatever she would like. He was very caring older brother.
Later that day, Jessica was writing her book and Marshall was watching TV. Right then, Seth came home from work.
"Good evening", Seth said.
"Oh, hello", Marshall and Jessica said.
"If you're hungry, food is in the fridge", Jessica said.
"Oh, I'm not very hungry. I ate with Mort", Seth said.
"Well, ok... Jess, I'm tired. I'm going to bed", Marshall said. He wasn't really tired, but he wanted Jessica to tell Seth the news.
Seth sat next to Jessica: "Feeling better, darling?"
"Yeah... I wanted to talk to you about that. Well, you see, Marshall and I went to doctor today an it turns out that..."
"What, Jessie, what?" Seth asked nervously.
"I'm pregnant", Jessica blurted out.
"What? You're what?" Seth couldn't process this news very well.
"That what you heard", Jessica said.
"Oh, Jess... I'm so happy. I love you", Seth said.
"I love you, too", Jessica smiled while Seth placed his hand on her stomach.
"Are you happy?" Jessica asked.
"Yeah... Very", Seth replied, "well, Jessie, it's late. Let's go to bed. You and baby are tired".
"Ok... Well, give me a minute. I want to finish this chapter", Jessica said.
"Well, ok... Hurry up", Seth smiled.
He went upstairs, while Jessica was still writing. When she finished, it was about midnight. She went upstairs and found Seth asleep on he bed. She just smiled. He was waiting for her. Well, she could hurry up. He probably wanted to talk. They can talk in the morning. He was too tired. She dressed up and went to bed. Right in that moment, Seth woke up.
"Jess, it's past midnight. What were you doing so long?" Seth asked.
"Well, I was writing. I have finally finished my book. I will send it to publisher in the morning", Jessica said.
"Great", Seth smiled.
"Are you hungry?" Jessica asked.
"No... You are?" Seth asked.
"Yeah... I'm gonna take something in the kitchen", Jessica said.
"I will bring it to you. What do you want?" Seth asked.
"Just cucumbers", Jessica replied.
"Really? Jess, I thought you want something delicious", Seth said.
"I really want cucumbers", Jessica said.
"Well, ok... Anything for you", Seth smiled.
After a midnight snack, they went to bed. Finally...
