Story Set up: Nikki lost rights

Twenty-eight year old Preyton Jagielski shifted nervously as the doctor came back and sat in front of her.

"Peyton," he sighed, "I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news,but the test confirm it," he sighed again "You will most likely never be able to bear any children."

He looked as if he didn't know what to say as he made his way out of the door.

Peyton sat in amazement dor a few moments before making her way out of the office to her car. She put the keys into the ignition, but the tears came before she could actually start the car. She loved Jenny with all her heart, and probably more than she should have ever been allowed, but she always looked forward to carry a child since the day her and Jake married six and a half years ago.

The sobbing eventually slowed and she made her way back to the two story, "in-the-middle-of-nowhere" farm style house thirty minutes away. There was no hiding the fact that the Jagielskis were well off. Jakes basketball and music brought in considerable amounts of money, plus Peyton's artwork and what she made from working with Brooke's clothing line kept the three happy materiallistically.

Peyton made her way to the refurbished barn that served as her studio and drove gerself into work until, at exactly 3:30 the school bus arrived.

"Mom, we're home." Jenny's voiced echoed, having seen the open barn door signaling Peyton's location.

Peyton swirled WE'RE...OH, THAT'S RIGHT...RILEY.

Riley Scott was Jenny's best friend even though he was two years her junior.
And was Nathan's eighteenth birthday present from Haley.

Peyton made her way to the house putting on a "everthing's fine face" as she made her way through the door.

The two were in the process of getting their homework out in the kitchen.

"Hey," Peyton stated in the most stern voice she could muster, "What are the rules?"

The two turned startled, but Jenny's face broke out in a knowing smile, "Snack!!"

The two munched away as the sound of a car came from the driveway.

The driver came through the kitchen door.

"You're home early."

"I love you, too." Jake said as he came in, kissed Jenny's forehead and high fived Riley before making his way to Peyton.

"So how'd it go?" he whispered in her ear.

"We'll talk about it later."

Later came at nine when Riley was turned back over to his parents and Jenny was in bed. Jake leaned against the wall, white tee and boxer clad, listening to Peyton share what the doctor had told her earlier in the day.
As Peyton's tears began to threaten, Jake came and wrapped his arms around her.

"Shhh..." he said stroking her hair,"The dreams not over yet."
