As she sat there in the waiting room in her OBs office Jenny thought about what her life would have been like if she had stayed with Jethro all those years ago.
She quickly pushed these thoughts from her mind because thinking back and fantasising wouldn't change where she was now in this exact moment.
She was a single woman in her 40's about to have a child. How could she tell Jethro that the night, which she tried to convince herself, was nothing more than meaningless sex had left her pregnant with his child.

They lay side by side her hand tracing patters on his chest.
" I love you" she said her voice barely above a whisper. He replied with a passionate kiss.
"Do you ever thing about the future, our future?"
"Where is this coming from Jen?"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter" she said turning away from him.
"Come on Jen don't be like this of course I think about our future I'd be mad not to"
By this point she said already drifted off to sleep without hearing his reply, she didn't know that he wanted nothing more than a future with her.
She woke up early the next morning while Jethro was still sleeping, she quietly packed up her things, and placed the letter beside the bed. She paused by the door and looked back into the room "Goodbye Jehtro".

"Jennifer Shepard"
She stood up and made her way into the exam room and sat down.
"Please put the gown on and the doctor will be with you soon". The door closed and Jenny was left alone once again.
5 minutes later the door opened once again and the doctor walked in.
"Okay first off congratulations, today I'm just going to do a few tests and ask a few questions, I'm going to need you to lie back on the table and lift up your shirt"
Jenny did what she was asked. "okay so you appear to be about 8 weeks pregnant does that sound about right?"
She just nodded. Suddenly the room filled with the most amazing sound, Jenny realised as soon as she heard her baby heart beat that although this wasn't exactly the ideal circumstance she was going to love this baby with all her heart. The doctor printed out the ultrasound images and then began to ask questions.
"Okay so Ms Shepard, is this your first pregnancy?"
"No"
