-1 Saved By The Bell Fan Fiction.

Disclaimer :- I do not own any of the Saved By The Bell characters from the series, they belong to the producers/writers/NBC/Peter Engel productions. Neither am I anything to do with these people/companies. This is purely fan fiction written by a fan of the show for fans.

A couple of years ago I wrote a short Fanfic that reunited Jessie and Slater, this is a kind of a follow on from that but involving all of the gang and what they are up to now.

The Gang Today

Chapter Two

I would like to thank my good friend Simone for sharing her experiences similar to what Jessie goes through in this fan fiction story.

Jessie's Decision

Jessie was another one still hearing words echo round in her mind , from Dr Quantocks office earlier. She just kept hearing those words over and over again.'Your never be able to have children of your own. I'm afraid IVF is not even going to be an option for you Ms Spano.' Dr Quantock had then gone on to explain all the reasons why, but she had never really taken much in beyond those words.

And yet until a few weeks ago Jessie had never even really thought about having children. After all she and Slater led such hectic lives, she wasn't sure how Slater felt about bringing children in to the picture and to be honest neither was she. That had of course been when she thought it was still a possibility. Now she knew she and Slater would never have children together.

It had all started last Sunday afternoon when she and Slater had been walking through the park. There had been a bunch of elementary school kids playing baseball, some of the parents watching from the sidelines.

'Do you think our kids will be good at sport?', Slater had suddenly asked as they passed them.

'I don't doubt it. It will be in their genes, but they will have brains too.'

'Are you trying to say I'm a dumb jock?'.

'Just kidding', she had joked as he chased her to the end of the path.

That had been the end of the conversation, but it had got Jessie thinking. If she and Slater were going to have a family, they needed to start thinking about it soon. And that was when she had made an appointment with Dr Quantock thinking she had better check out the state of her fertility. Well, now she knew, she had none.

Now Jessie took the rest of the day off work. She couldn't concentrate now, especially on the divorce case she was currently working on. Another celebrity couple citing differences that could not be compromised, in this case the wife wanted children, the husband didn't. She just couldn't deal with that today.

When she got home to their luxury apartment Slater had already left for a long shift at one of the gyms he co-owned with his business partner Kevin Samson. Slater wouldn't be home until midnight, that would give her plenty of time. A few days ago, in a passing conversation she had promised Slater a future together they couldn't have, so now there was only one thing for it, she had to leave. Let Slater meet someone he could have a family with.

As she packed her things in their home where they had lived since moving back from London eighteen months ago, tears streamed down her face. She and Slater had been so happy here and maybe they still could have been, if she hadn't had the stupid idea to go for a walk through the park last Sunday afternoon. She couldn't live a lie to Slater and she didn't want him to miss out on having kids just because of her. She was leaving him because she loved him

The practical headed Jessie had already booked herself a suite in one of the luxury hotels near her office, on an indefinate basis. All the work she was taking with her from her home here she had just got loaded up in to her car and finally she hauled her last case out to it.

This was the happiest she had ever been in her life, in the two years since she and Slater had met again and got back together, but it was over now. She would always love him and that was why she had to leave.

The note she left was simple

Slater.

I love you, but that is why I have to leave. There is no going back this time. It's not you, its me, its all for the best.

Jessie

Tears continued to stream down her cheeks as she placed the note on what was their kitchen table, then she took her engagement ring off and placed it on top of the note. Then taking one last look around Jessie left her apartment keys on the table with the note and ring and got in her car and left.

Once checked in to her hotel suite, Jessie got on with some other work aside from the celebrity couples divorce case. In fact with regards to that case, if it weren't for the fact the husband had asked for her especially, she would have tried to get one of the other divorce lawyers she worked with to take it on.

The hotel suite was spacious and comfortable, but she hadn't slept alone in a king size bed for two years. She had forgotten so quickly what it was like not having anyone to cuddle up to, talk to, make love with. Still, she was going to have to get used to it, nobody would ever want her now. Besides she only wanted Slater, had only ever wanted Slater and if she couldn't be with him anymore, she would rather be alone in life.

She had switched her cell off before she went to bed as she knew it would be ringing as soon as Slater found her note. Eventually in the morning though, for work reasons she had to switch her phone one. Every text message from Slater, of which there were many, she deleted without even reading, every voicemail she got from him, she deleted before he got beyond 'Hi Jessie what's'. It was the only way, it hurt too much to even listen to his voice for a few seconds.

-------------------------------------

Despite a busy night at the gym, Slater had had a sleepless night. But then it wasn't every day you came home to discover your girlfriend to which you were engaged to be married and that you loved more than anyone else in the world, had left you and without any kind of reasonable explanation.

For the first hour he had sat there in shock, he had actually planned to talk to her about finally setting a date for their wedding, instead he had ended up sat there twirling round the engagement ring he had given her in his hands, along with her house keys. She clearly meant it, it really was over.

The hour of shock had been followed by a couple of hours of tears and then he had started to tap out numerous text messages to Jessie,

Pleas come back. I love you, we can work it out.

Is there someone else? I just want to know.

I still want to marry you.

Please, just let me know you are okay.

Can't we at least talk about this?

Then he had moved on to leaving numerous voicemails, finishing with 'Jessie, I love you, if there isn't anyone else, then please call me'.

Now he knew what if felt like to feel numb. This had become the worst night of his life since he had got home. Work had been good , Kevin had told him it was a good time for the fitness industry, despite the recession, profits from all their gyms were up. That was when he had decided the time had finally come to get Jessie to agree on a date for their wedding, it would have been the perfect end to a perfect day.

Slater took the next day off work and finally got a few hours sleep in the morning. Then it was time to make that phone call. He was surprised someone picked up the landline at eleven in the morning.

'Zack, you busy?'.

'Not for the next few months……………', Zack yet again relayed the story of his redundancy.

'I'm sorry Zack, but something awful has happened. Jessie has left me.'

'You haven't had a repeat of one of your mammoth high school style rows?'.

'I almost wish we had. At least we nearly always got back together. She isn't coming back this time that's for sure. Can you come over?'.

'Sure, I'm free until four, then I have to meet Kelly at Sophie's school. I think our eldest child has been getting in to mischief. See you shortly.'

When Zack arrived at Slater's he noticed his hand.

'Slater, someone really has to tell you this, ladies diamond rings, they really don't suit you at all.'

'It's Jessie's engagement ring, I was playing round with it and now its stuck okay. I need you to help me get it off.'

After a few minutes of running his hand under the sink and applying some butter, between them they managed to get the ring back over the top half of Slater's index finger where it got stuck. Slater put it back down on the side with what were Jessie's house keys.

'She really has gone hasn't she?', Zack noticed there was no longer a presence of anything Jessie.

'She sure has. I came home last night wanting to set a date for the wedding and then I found this note, her house keys and ring with them.'.

'Slater, it's a shame you don't drink because I really think you could do with a brandy or something right now.'

'Coffee will have to do. You want some?'

'Yes, but I'll make it, you sit down. By the way there is some good news. Screech got promoted to Principal at Bayside.'.

'Screech, the new Mr Belding. Well I never. I'm pleased for him. We should do something for him.'

'Someone already is, in another sense. He is dating a twenty three year old teacher named Melinda. He showed me a picture of her, she looks normal.'

'I'm pleased things are going well for him, even if my own life came crashing around down on me last night.'.

'I know its no consolation, but remember, you've still get us, your oldest friends. And I'm sure we will find out what's going on with Jessie eventually. It's not the first time she has done a disappearing act after all.'

'What do you mean?'

'When we were in eighth grade, she ran away from home for two days. Her parents told her they were separating and she didn't' know what to do. She came home when she got cold and hungry on the second day.'

'I don't see how what she done when she was fourteen has anything to do with the way she has left me now.'

'I do. It's the way Jessie has always been. Something happens she can't cope with and she does a runner, thinks she is better off alone.'

'I know that about Jessie. But that's the thing, as far as I know nothing happened she couldn't cope with. She always used to tell me about stuff that was going on, especially when she got stressed from work.'

'Okay, but I will say this. I've known Jessie for more than thirty years, we were in kindergarten together and I'm still saying something is going on, something she doesn't feel she can't talk to anyone about, even you.'

'So what do you think I should do?'

'Nothing for now. Give her a few days, then try and talk to her. Jessie loves you so much, I just know there isn't anyone else.'

'I hope your right.'

'Come one, lets make the most of this free day. Fancy a game of squash or something.'

'Sure , lets hit the gym.'
