It had been five years since Jessica left. She and her boyfriend Mark had left to start their lives together in a different state.

In the beginning the blonde kept in touch with her fellow Bella's. She would call at least once a week. And she called Ashley at least four times a week.

But as time went by, her calls weren't as much as before anymore. The last thing they heard from her was that she would start her new job as a pediatrician. It was a job that fitted her perfectly. She was always gentle and caring. And she was great with kids.

The Bella's were happy for her that she had gotten the job she dreamed of. But they missed her. Their group wasn't the same without her. After she had left they all had tried to keep in touch with her. And she with them.

But then life got in the way. They were all at a point that they settled down. They got partners and babies. And of course their jobs. They all got on with their lives but they often thought about her.

How could they forget about the Bella who could sing the highest of all of them? They couldn't and didn't want to. Even if she wasn't around, she was as much a part of their lives as every other Bella.

They were all convinced she would come back when the time was right. And they didn't worry about her. After all she was one of the most responsible Bella's.

The only one who still had a hard time dealing with her leaving was Ashley. She and Jessica always had been close. And when the blonde left, Ashley kept living in the house they once shared. It had been five years but she still wasn't over her best friend. They had a special bond and the Bella's always had thought the two of them would end up together. But fate had other plans for them.

So the blonde had left, while Ashley had stayed. Despite that she missed her best friend, she enjoyed her life to the fullest.

She was a teacher and loved her job. And she babysat the kids of the Bella's regularly. Almost every Friday she would collected the kids and brought them over to her house. She played with them, helped them with their homework. She made dinner for them and watched over them till their parents would come and pick them up.

One day she hoped to do the same for her own kids. But for now she was content with the life she lived. She had her job and her friends. She had everything she needed. Except for her best friend. That would change soon, but she didn't know that.

It was a Saturday night, and the Bella's were at her house for their weekly meeting. Most of the kids were watching a movie. And the adults were talking and drinking. It was just a typical Saturday night. But that was about to change.

They were just relaxing when the doorbell rang. They looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect anyone. All the Bella's who were in the area where here tonight. So Ashley got up to open the door.

"Oh my God! Is this a joke?" was all what the Bella's could hear in the living room.

And then there was silence. But not the kind of good silence. So they got up to see what was going on.

They stood behind Ashley and were as surprised as she had been.

At the other side of the door stood a very pregnant Jessica. Next to her two little kids. They had the same blonde hair as Jessica and there was no doubt that these were her kids.

Nobody said a word. Ashley and Jessica looked in each others eyes. It looked like they had their own conversation. A conversation without words. Like they always had done.

Ashley was the first one to speak.

"Hey beautiful" she said and then hugged her friend tightly.

"Are you coming in?" Fat Amy asked.

The blonde nodded and pushed her kids into the house.

"So are you going to introduce your kids to us" Chloe was the next one to speak.

"This is my son Ashlyn, and this is my daughter Jessley" was all that Jessica said.

Upon hearing the kids' names they were all speechless. This was going to be an interesting evening.
