Chapter 1
Jackie Grey sat on the front porch of Ponch and Melinda's home. She couldn't wait to tell them the news. She was now a firefighter paramedic at station 116. She was thrilled; she couldn't wait to tell her sister and brother-in-law. Soon Ponch and Melinda pulled into the drive way. They had just gone shopping.
"Jackie is everything ok?" Melinda asked.
"Yeah everything is great Melinda! I'm a firefighter/paramedic now!" She exclaimed.
"Congratulations Jackie, I'm so proud of you," Ponch replied. He gave her a kiss on the cheek. Jackie smiled, she was happy to hear him say that.
"Do you wanna join us for dinner? Ponch is ordering pizza," Melinda said then smiled at Ponch. He smiled back, they had been trying to figure out what was for supper for a long time. Melinda and Jackie went into the house with the groceries. Ponch got back in the car and started to leave to go get pizza, he knew exactly what Melinda wanted and Little Caesars pizza, well they don't deliver you have to go there yourself.
"Ponch, while you're out can you pick up some soda?" Melinda asked as she rushed out to the car to kiss him before he left. Ponch smiled,
"Sure Honey," He replied. Melinda went back into the house, Jackie smiled at her.
"You seem different today Melinda."
"Different?"
"Yeah, ya know, you seem somewhat excited somewhat nervous. What's up?" Jackie asked.
"Well, I'm not sure," Melinda said. She was lost in thought, she loved having pizza every time she did it reminded her of the day she and Ponch had fallen in love she felt like the luckiest girl on the planet when Ponch asked her to marry him. Now every time she had pizza she couldn't help but think back to that day seven years ago.
"Ok, Jackie I can't keep this to myself anymore. Don't let Ponch know I told you yet he wanted to be here when we told you."
"Told me what?"
"We are gonna be parents. I'm having a baby."
"Melinda, you're pregnant?" Jackie asked excitedly
"Yes," Melinda replied.
"Oh I'm so happy for you guys! You'll be great parents," Jackie said.
