At the hospital Trip, Lucas, and Katie were at the emergency waiting room, waiting for a doctor to know what was wrong with Jen. Just then Jen's parents had arrived at the hospital when they got a call from their jobs that their daughter was in the hospital.
"Katie, where's Jennifer how is she?" Mrs. Scotts asked Katie already being worried.
"We don't know yet, were waiting for a doctor to tell us." Katie answered.
"I knew I should have stopped her from going to work." Mrs. Scotts said.
"Honey it's not your fault." Mr. Scotts said to his wife.
"Have you both noticed anything wrong with Jen in the morning?" Katie asked both Jen's parents.
"Yes, when she was about to leave I couldn't let her skip breakfast so I told her to eat something, so she sat down and looked at her breakfast for a minute then she started to feel nauseous and ran to the bathroom, we heard her throwing up." Mrs. Scotts said.
"We knew something was wrong with her but we didn't know why." Mr. Scotts said.
"We did too, when she came in, we were headed our way to Time Force Command Center when she felt dizzy, she told us it was nothing and that she didn't eat anything." Katie said.
"After work we went to go eat lunch, but Jen didn't want to eat anything, she went for a walk instead, we started to feel worried about her." Lucas said.
"When she came back, she started to feel pain in her stomach, then she suddenly passed out, that was when we knew something was really wrong with her." Trip said.
"I knew something wasn't right." Mrs. Scotts said.
"Don't worry Mrs. Scotts, Jen will be alright." Katie said.
Just then a doctor had arrived to tell them about Jen.
"Mr. and Mrs. Scotts." said a doctor.
"Yes that's us." Mr. Scotts responded.
"I'm Dr. Jones, I just wanted to let you know that your daughter had severe abdominal pain, but nothing serious thankfully she's not sick or anything." Dr. Jones said.
"Will she be okay?" Mrs. Scotts asked.
"Yes Jennifer will be fine she was lucky that the pain didn't cause her to loose her baby." Dr. Jones, when both Jen's parents, Katie, Lucas, and Trip were surprised to hear what the doctor had said.
"Baby. What baby?" Mr. Scotts asked.
"I take that you didn't know that Jennifer is pregnant." Dr. Jones said.
"No we didn't know." Mrs. Scotts said.
"There's got to be a mistake." Mr. Scotts said.
"There's no mistake, your daughter is pregnant, she was lucky she didn't suffer a miscarriage." Dr. Jones said.
"Can we see her?" Mrs. Scotts asked.
"Well Jennifer is resting right now, I suppose why not." Dr. Jones said. "Come with me I'll take you to her room."
All five had followed Dr. Jones to where Jen's room is, Jen laid their peacefully sleeping, Jen's parents decided to wait outside while Trip, Lucas and Katie went inside Jen's room and would let them know if Jen had woken up. Hours later Jen's eyes opened slowly wondering where she was and turned her head where Trip and Lucas were sleeping on the chairs, Katie had suddenly woke up from sleeping and saw Jen had awaken.
"Jen your awake." Katie said. "Trip. Lucas. Wake up Jen's awake." she said to them both when they awoke from sleeping yawning and stretching their arms.
"Jen it's nice to see your awake." Katie said.
"Where am I?" Jen asked.
"Your at the hospital, you passed out and fell on the floor." Katie answered.
"Is there something wrong with me?" Jen asked again.
"The doctor said that you had severe abdominal pain, but nothing serious your not sick or anything." Katie answered.
"We're just glad your okay." Lucas said.
"Then what really is wrong with me, is there something your not telling me?" she asked.
"Well Jen there's no easy way to tell you this." Trip said.
"Tell me what?" Jen wanted an answer from her friends.
"I guess I should tell her. Jen...your pregnant." Katie answered Jen, but she was surprised and didn't know what to say.
"The reason you had abdominal pain was that you almost suffered a miscarriage, you were lucky that you didn't." Katie said.
"I can't believe this." Jen said when tears started to fall from her eyes.
"It's Wes's baby isn't it?" Katie asked.
"Yes, it must have happened the day before he died, when Wes and I were at the clock tower it was raining and that's when we.." Jen paused for a minute thinking her friends didn't want to hear how Wes and her made love.
"I think we get it." Lucas said, he knew what Jen was going to say next.
"The good news is that your going to be a mom." Katie said.
"You're right, I can't believe this is happening to me, at least I have a part of Wes to remember." Jen said.
"That's right, he never left you alone." Katie said.
"Wait do my parents know I'm here?" Jen asked.
"Yeah, there outside, they didn't know how to react when the doctor told them that you're pregnant." Lucas answered.
"They must be upset with me." Jen said.
"You don't know that." Katie said.
"We might as well tell them that your awake." Trip said.
"Yeah, we better get going, hope you'll be okay." Katie said.
"Don't worry I will." Jen responded as all three walked out of her room and left the door a bit opened.
"You never left me alone Wes, you left me a small part of you." Jen thought to herself, she saw her father came in the room, she knew what he was going to say to her.
"Dad before you say anything, I didn't know, I didn't thought of it at first, I'm sorry please don't be upset with me." Jen said to her father.
"Jennifer, I'm not upset with you, I just don't know how to react to this." Mr. Scotts said.
"Believe me I didn't know how to react either." Jen said. "Is mom upset with me?" she asked.
"Of course not, she just doesn't know what to say to you." Mr. Scotts answered.
"Dad I'm really sorry." Jen said.
"There's nothing to be sorry about, we're just glad your okay and that nothing bad happened to you and the baby." Mr. Scotts said.
"Dad, I don't know if I'm ready, I don't know if I can raise a baby on my own." Jen said when more tears fell from her eyes.
"Jennifer don't worry, your mother and I are there for you and will help you, it's going to be alright." Mr. Scotts said and hugged Jen.
"I hope so." Jen said.
"Tell me is the man that you told us about, is he the father?" Mr. Scotts asked.
"Yes, he is, if he was still alive, he would have been happy to know that he's going to be a father." Jen answered wiping her tears. "I wish you and mom could have met him."
"You really did love him didn't you?" Mr. Scotts asked.
"I did." she answered., when the door opened it was Jen's mother that entered the room.
"I couldn't help but hear your conversation." Mrs. Scotts said. "Jennifer I just want you to know that your not alone, you have us your parents that love you very much, and we will also love our unborn grandchild too."
"Thank you mom." Jen said and both hugged, when they hear a knock on the door to see Dr. Jones came in.
"I just want to know how Jennifer is doing." Dr. Jones said.
"I'm doing fine, I want to ask how far am I with my pregnancy?" Jen asked.
"From what I check your at least 2 months, what I'm recommending you is at least 3 to 4 weeks bed rest and come back here to check up on you and your baby." Dr. Jones explained. "For right now I'd like Jennifer to spend the night at the hospital and tomorrow she'll go home and rest. Are there any questions you need to ask me?"
"No I think you've answered all our questions, thank you doctor." Mr. Scotts said.
"Your welcome, well I should get going there are other patients I have to see." Dr. Jones said and left the room.
"We might as well be leaving, tomorrow will pick you up." Mr. Scotts said.
"You get some rest okay." Mrs. Scotts said.
"Okay, bye mom. Bye dad." Jen said good-bye to her parents.
"Bye Jennifer." Mrs. Scotts said as they both left the room.
Jen felt that being pregnant would be a new beginning for her even though she wished that Wes was still alive to know that he was going to be a father. She put both her hands on her stomach and was happy that she was going to be a mom and fell fast asleep.
