Chapter 1:

After Jane leaves the room where Stacy was staying at, she pauses for a second, closes her eyes and just smiles. As she takes in a deep breath, she whispers to the wind,

"Ok Jane, you're really gonna do this. You have to because you can't see your life without him. Pull yourself together, you've got this!"

With that said, she opened her eyes and smiled as she made her way to the nursery where Grayson's at visiting Kim's baby boy. As she was walking, a million thoughts came into her mind. Thoughts of everything Grayson talked about. Jane can picture their wedding. What a joyous day that would be and this time she will find a dress with a shorter train. She can honestly picture them standing face to face as they read their vows to each other followed by "I do's" and true love's perfect kiss. She can see his face light up and spinning her around after she tells him that she's pregnant with their first child. She can imagine giving birth to her child, holding their baby in her arms, and telling Grayson "He's got your eyes". She can even imagine the many Christmases together with their children waking them up to open present. She sees it all, and she can only picture this with him as her soul mate.

It wasn't until she took two steps more, that her dreams began to slowly fade away as she spots Grayson in the arms of Kim's assistant, Nicole. Jane couldn't believe her eyes. All she could do was take a few steps back and walk away. Tears forcing themselves to stream down her face. She needed to get out of the hospital. As she presses the elevator button, the doors open and she rushes in pressing the lobby button a thousand times while fighting with her emotions. As she exits the hospital and finds her Porsche, she gets inside and locks the doors. Immediately, the flood gates open as she lightly lays her head on the steering wheel, letting her tears flow. She was genuinely hurt.

She thought, "How could he tell me that he loves me one minute, and the next kissing another woman? It doesn't make sense to me. I need to go home." She wipes her tears, puts her keys in the ignition and drives home.

~ 1 hour later~

Stacy opens the door to her and Jane's house and noticed all the lights were off except Jane's room. She heard soft cries as she slowly approached her best friend's room. When she opens Jane's door, she sees tissues laying all over Jane's bed with Jane curled up in the corner of her bed crying. Stacy's heart broke at the sight of her friend's state she spoke up,

"Jane, sweetie, what happened?"

Jane jumped at the sound of Stacy's voice and sighed, "Oh God, Stacy, you scared me."

Stacy replied, "I'm sorry, sweetie. When the nurse told me it was ok to go home, I tried to find you but you were nowhere in the hospital, so Owen gave me a ride home. What's wrong? Did you tell Grayson that you loved him?"

After hearing that, Jane began to choke up and cry all over again. "I didn't get the chance to tell him, Stace."

Stacy was confused, "What do you mean? He was in the nursery."

Jane shook her head, "Yes he was, and as I was walking down the hall, I honestly started to picture a life with him. Our wedding, children, Christmas mornings together, and it all made sense to me. But I blew it, Stace. I had the opportunity to let him into my life and love me that way, but I threw it away the night he was here and he prepared the most romantic setting I could ever imagine. Why did I have to feel so guilty? I punished myself and I spent that entire time trying to get Owen to forgive me so that we could be together, and in the end it just wasn't meant to be for him and I. I think one way or another it never would have because a part of me would always wonder 'What if?' For God sake, I'm the one that wanted Grayson to tell me what made him move on from Deb and when he poured out his love for me, it was like the heavens opened. And when he kissed me, I wanted to stop time so that it was just him and I at that moment and I wanted it to last forever." Jane began to cry again.

Stacy rubbed her shoulder in sympathy, "Jane I know you're feeling this way, but you still haven't told me what happened. I'm confused."

Jane wiped her tears and took a deep breath, "I didn't get the chance to tell Grayson how I felt, because when I turned the corner, I saw him and Kim's assistant kissing."

Stacy gasped, "WHAT? That jerk! How could he be all crazy about you and kiss another girl in a matter of days? That's just messed up."

Jane shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, Stacy. All I know is that I missed the opportunity and it's just too late. Grayson has moved on. Now I just have to learn to deal with it. I don't know how, but I don't have a choice."

Stacy stood up from Jane's bed, "Jane Bingum, since when do you ever give up?"

Jane rolled her eyes, "Oh Stace, this isn't one of my cases. This is my heart we're talking about. It's obvious that Grayson has gotten over me, rather quickly I might add, I pushed him away."

Stacy shook her head, "No, that's not the Jane I know. The Jane I know is a fighter! Fight for him, Jane. Show him how much you love him and what lengths you would go for him. You're meant to be together. I think you should talk to him and be firm with him. Show him the strong woman I know you are. Make him realize the mistakes he's making."

Jane gasped, "I don't want revenge, Stacy!"

Stacy replied, "I'm not talking about revenge or getting even. I'm talking about fighting for the one you love and maybe knocking just a tiny bit of sense to him. Here's what you should do. Tomorrow when you go into work, give him a bit of a cold shoulder. That way, he'd realize there's something wrong and confront you. Give him a reason to want to have a conversation that's not work related."

Jane sighed, "I don't know. Maybe I should just avoid him at all costs, but it's so hard given the fact that we're both lawyers and we could be assigned to the same case."

Stacy smiled, "That's good! That's more of a reason to talk to you. Trust me, Jane, it'll all work out. And if not, I'll just have to kick his ass because you're my bestie and I hate seeing you sad."

Jane smiled and gave Stacy a hug, "Thanks, Stace. Even with our many disagreements and arguments, you always find a way to make me feel better."

Stacy smiled, "Well, that's what friends are for. And for the record, I just want you to know, I never meant to hurt you when I asked you if it was ok to use Owen's sperm. I guess a part of me thought it didn't matter because eventually you would end up with Grayson. Also I just wanted to have a baby, and I realize now that it was selfish of me to ask Owen, not realizing the bigger picture-"

Jane cut her off, "Stacy, it's ok. I mean yea when you first told me, I was extremely angry at you because of the best friend code of honor. But then I thought about what you told me and it began to make sense to me. Which is why, I told Owen to reconsider and Im glad he did. He's a good man and I'm really happy for you, Stace. You're gonna be a good mom."

Stacy smiled with tears streaming, "Thanks, Jane…Whew! Well, it's late and the doctors say I should get plenty of rest. These times are critical. I know everything will work out for the both of us." Stacy gives Jane one last hug before she leaves her room, leaving Jane to think all about what Stacy said.

"Tomorrow's another day." Jane said before closing her eyes and drifting to sleep.
