This is the sequel to It's About Time, my first-ever Jess. Kana requested it at the forum, so I'm writing it now! Go figure :). By the way, go check out the forum so you can request sequels! I'm doing that instead of the poll because that was too hard. So go to my profile, and up at the top, it says My Forums – that's where you're headed.

Three years had passed.
Tess had never been so happy
in her entire life.
Not even the time
her mom smiled at her.

Jason had cured her
of whatever it was
that plagued her before
Tess was happy now
So he was too

Shane and Mitchie
had three kids.
Nate and Caitlyn
adopted twins from China.
But Tess was happier.

Jason smiled at her
as she woke up,
as she got dressed,
as she took a shower,
even.

What if they
weren't married yet?
What if
everyone else was?
She was still happy.

Their relationship
had reached
a point in which
something had to happen.

Truth was,
Tess wanted him to
ask her to marry
even if she tried
not to care.

Jason was waiting
for the right moment.
He had the ring and all.
Now all he needed
was a good time.

Mitchie, Caitlyn, and
the plethora of kids were over
Mitchie and Caitlyn laughed,
and glowed.
Tess wanted that.

Jason watched Tess,
as she held Ada,
Mitchie's new baby
and thought
she'd be a great mom.

Tess held her thoughts,
tightly, firmly,
in place.
Because thinking about…
It hurt too much.

Why didn't the right time come?
When would it come?
What was it waiting for?
Jason was tired, sick,
of waiting.

One day at dinner,
Tess was eating fries.
It was a laid-back day.
When Jason took out a ring,
and asked.

"Will you marry me?"
Jason said.
Tears flooded her eyes,
and she nodded,
before jumping on him.

He'd gotten tired of waiting,
he said.
And she was happy now,
happier than ever.
Because it'd happened.

How was that for a sequel? Awful? I know.
