Time to Shine

It's the day of Cece's wedding and a million things are running through the minds of Jessica Day and Nicholas Miller. Are they roommates? Or something more? But what if the unexpected happens? And what about the fallout from these events? Chapters 5 plus are a bit sci-fi. LAST CHAPTER IS UP. May have some epilogues coming though! Thanks for the support everyone!

3. Chapter 3- A New Beginning

Jess was 20 weeks along with her and Nick's baby and had an appointment with Sadie today. Matter of fact, Jess was moving out of the loft today. She needed to find somewhere proper to raise her child. She figured she'd move back home to Portland; her parents would be there to help her with the baby. She was in the waiting room for her appointment and dazing off. She'd been sentimental all day for she was leaving some great friends behind. It can be scary starting anew but it had to be done, a new beginning, for the baby. A woman sat down- maybe 8 months or so along- and interrupted Jess mid-thought by asking, "Hi there. How far along are you?"

"20 weeks," Jess responded.

"Oh, 20 week appointment! You find out the sex of the baby today." Jess hadn't known that she was finding out the sex today, but she guessed it was a nice little surprise. The lady butted in again, "So what sex are you hoping for?" Jess hadn't given this much thought. Honestly, she did not care.

Jess shrugged and replied, "I know this is cliché, but just as long as it's healthy-"

The woman interrupted her again- yes this woman was really fucking annoying, couldn't she just leave Jess alone already- by saying, "And cute as a button!"

"Umm, I don't really think looks matter," Jess said. The woman's face dropped. She wasn't too happy with Jess now and stopped pestering Jess. Jess started dazing off again. What would the baby look like? Part of her wanted the baby to look just like Nick, so she could see his beautiful features once again. The other part of Jess wanted the baby to look nothing like Nick. She wasn't sure if she could handle the pain of seeing these features once more.

"Jess, Sadie's ready for you," the nurse said as she stepped out of the door. Jess got up and walked through the door and into her appointment. She was filled with nerve. Would it be a boy? Or a girl?

"Jess, how ya holding up?" Sadie asked as she greeted Jess.

Jess sat down on the bed and replied, "I'm doing good. Moving out to Portland today."

"I've heard. You come back and visit now, ok?" Jess nodded.

Jess got to hear the baby's heartbeat and then came the ultrasound. "Jess, would you like to know the baby's gender?" Sadie asked. Jess nodded. "It's a boy." Jess looked at the ultrasound screen and thought: Nicholas, you are going to be the most loved little boy in the whole entire world.
