September 15 1976

We are still at the hospital but the silver lining in all this mess is that the baby is fine.
I don't know what I would have done if anything had happened to the baby.
Will has been putting on a brave face in all of this but I know deep down he is as scared as I am but we are going to be fine.

September 30 1976

We have been home a week now and so far everything is going great.
Will started painting the baby's room yesterday even though we don't know if it's a boy or girl.
I am still holding out for a boy.

October 20 1976

I still can't believe it. Right now I am staring down at the most amazing ring in the world.
Will proposed today and it was the best day of my life.
Of course I said yes before he had even finished asking.He is the best thing that has ever happened to me aside from the baby.
With everything that has been happening lately with the paralysis and pregnancy,he has been my rock and my life and now I get to
spend the rest of that life with him. It doesn't get better than that.
I have been really depressed,cranky and hormonal but he hasn't given up on me and that makes me want to love him even more. He wants us to get married as soon as possible so we are gonna do it before the baby comes.

November 28 1976

We discussed names today. I still think it's a boy and I told Will as much. I really want to name the baby after his father so
William LaMontagne junior if we have a son and Joy LaMontagne for a girl cos this baby has and is going to bring us a lot of happiness when
they get here.

December 18 1976

Will and I got married today and it was the most amazing day of my life no to mention all the beignets I ate which I specifically asked for cos the baby's been craving them the whole pregnancy.Everyone is still here dancing and I guess I should be joining them don't want them thinking that Louise LaMontagne is rude.

December 27 1976

The pain started early on and I didn't think much of it but now here we are at the hospital. The doctor says the baby has to be delivered today even though it is 5 weeks too early. I am waiting to be wheeled into the operating room as I write this. The doctor said cos of my paralysis and the baby being in distress,that the surgery is going to be very risky but I'm not worried. I´m looking forward to meeting my son William LaMontgne junior. The nurse is here so next time I write,will probably be to tell you how handsome my little man is.

JJ flipped the page wondering what Will's mom wrote next but found the rest of the journal empty.

She was still trying to make heads or tails out of the last journal entry when the pilot announced that they had landed.

The first thing JJ noticed when she entered her apartment was the light blinking form her answering machine. She knew who the message was from before she checked and her suspicions were confirmed when she heard that Louisiana accent that still made her heart skip a bit come over the speaker.

She decided to call him just so he knew she got home safe but was interrupted by a light knock on her door.

"I know you said not to fly out but it was only a few more hours on a plane" Will said with a smile as JJ crashed into his arms.
