Chapter Eight
He couldn't believe that it was their senior year already. They were already taking college hours since their sophomore year.
They were entering the school property when they noticed everyone was staring at them.
"Why are they staring at us?" Jen whispered to Aaron.
"It's the fact that you're NOT pregnant!" Morgan exclaimed from behind them.
"What?" Aaron asked with his serious face.
"Yeah since nobody has seeing you in the summer like in your last pregnancies. Well, they kind of expected for you to be pregnant again." Emily said catching up to them.
"Three is enough besides having a toddler and then twins not good." Jen said.
Aaron had noticed that in the last in the last eight months Morgan had changed a lot. He didn't flirt with other girls or anything that hinted in that direction but he didn't want to say anything about it.
He noticed Dave coming their way looking to smug.
"Hello furry friends!" Dave said.
"That's something I would say!" Pen said. "But you need to drug test him!"
"Why me?"
"Because you look like if you got lucky my friend!" Jen said.
"Hey guys see you later. Brian is here already!" Em said and started walking away.
"Why are you so happy?" Aaron asked Dave.
"Last night I was talking to Ashley and she was transferring to this school."
"Is she the same girl as the daughter of…" Jen was about to ask but was cut off my Dave.
"Yes it is."
"Dave, be careful. She's the FBI Director's daughter." Aaron said.
"I know Aaron, but there's something in her that draws me in. I can't explain it."
"Wow! Finally someone has caught Mr. Italian's guy!"
"I've met her parents when I drove her home that day at the restaurant."
"Do they approve of you?"
"Like their daughter's boyfriend? I don't know! Like their daughter's friend I'm okay! I don't think she sees me like you guys are thinking ok?"
"Okay speaking of you know here she comes! Good luck Romeo!"
"So have you told Emily that you love her Romeo?" Dave asked and walked away.
"FYI no!" Derek answered walking away too.
"Okay so something is not right. One he thinks he's too old for her and the other one is too scared to be in a relationship!"
"I don't know Pen but I've got to admit that Brian isn't too trustworthy!" Jen stated.
They were heading towards the classroom when they heard someone yelling.
"Let go of me! You're hurting me!"
They knew that voice too well. Derek beat Aaron to Emily and was punching him in the face.
"Hey that's enough!" Aaron said touching his arm.
"When a lady tells you NO you stop!" Derek said.
"You're just pathetic Emily and surely you know how to play your cards. You're such a b…"
Derek punched him again!
"She's a lady and in my presence you respect her! Did you understand dog?"
"Yeah I did!" he said and Derek let him walk away!
"Are you okay Princess?" Derek asked her.
"Yes." She answered hugging him. "I was so scared."
"You're okay now! I'm here!"
"Thank you guys!"
Aaron still felt the feeling of punching that paper pushing punk in the face!
"Aaron, she's okay! You need to cool off before we go to class!"
He just nodded. Jen knew him too much. She knew that he needed to be alone!
She got closer to him and whispered, "just don't go and look for him please!"
~CM~CM~CM~CM~CM~
Jen couldn't believe that the year had gone by so fast! It was already their senior year! It had been tough for them. Three kids and in high school taking college hours but nothing impossible when they had family and friends that were there to help them out!
"It feels weird without the boys!" Jen said. "What if you call your Mom?"
"Jay, let her have some fun with the boys!"
She didn't really like being away from the kids! Few minutes later the doorbell rang.
"Hey. Come on in."
"Thank you for inviting me!" Ashley said.
"We did it because we really like you and we didn't want to leave you out!" Jen said.
Soon after David and Ashley arrived everyone else did with food, drinks, and desserts.
They had agreed that the girls were going to stay in the main room while the guys were staying in the guest room and in the morning the girls in one car and the guys in another car."
So they finished eating dinner and played some games and then got ready for bed. Inside the room and already on their pajamas the girls started talking.
"We never got the details about how you guys got together!" Jen said pointing to Emily.
Emily smiled and turned pink. "Well three weeks after that moment as you know Derek and I went to the movies and afterwards we went to have dinner and a girl was trying to get his attention and I got jealous even though he wasn't paying any attention to her. I just said to him that I need to say something and he said what that's when I kissed him and he kissed back."
"That's it?"
"Yes. That's all!"
"What about you? Are you trying to get pregnant again?"
"Not for the moment! What about you Ashley?"
"I've been trying to let Dave know that I don't care about his age that it's not something of a big deal! I even told him that my parents are eleven years apart but nothing and the fact that my parents adore him!
"You should make the move!" Em said.
After what seemed minutes it was time to go to sleep before it was too late.
In the morning after breakfast everyone got ready they were heading out to place for the graduation.
The Principal started talking it was about to begin. He started presenting all the board members and everyone else and finally the Salutatorian to give her speech.
"In this life there's always going to be obstacles but it's up to us if we are going to stand up when everything seems to be against you. As you know I lost my Mom three years ago and while the funeral was going on I began to go into labor at only seven months pregnant. My baby spent 24 days connected to the respirator. His little body had tubes everywhere! Sometimes his stomach wouldn't tolerate the formula. It was hard to stand up from that pain but I did! I'll leave you with this the choice is yours. Mom, wherever you are I love you!"
She was glued there! She couldn't move! She felt someone behind her moving her away slowly. She turned around to see Aaron she hugged him and cried.
The Principal introduced the Valedictorian to give his speech.
"Sorry about that but it's something Jen doesn't mention very much. She's a fighter and there's no question on why our boy fought for his life he got that from Jen. Great minds think alike. We decided not to share what we wanted to say. It's not the fact that we are afraid of standing up but the fear of failing. There would be times when fear might take hold of our dreams but we must fight the fear. When Jack was born all the odds were against him. The Doctors said that if he survived he would probably have mental problems and it would take a miracle. While he's 24 days at the hospital Jen and I looked for names that meant 'miracle' and found one perfect for him. Nathaniel which means "God's gift." During Jack's days at the hospital I was paralyzed by fear but I fought through it to be there for Jen and my family. My priority is my family and I will fight fear and not be afraid of failing. Don't let what other think of you paralyze you with fear. Thank you!"
Moments later they began to start with the handing out the diplomas starting with the Top Ten.
"Hotchner, Aaron."
"Hotchner, Jennifer."
"Reid, Spencer."
"Rossi, David."
"Prentiss, Emily."
"Garcia, Penelope."
"Morgan, Derek."
They finished presenting all the diplomas and before they all left the stadium the group of graduate took a picture all together and headed back to Aaron's house where family would be waiting for them.
One chapter of their lives was ending but another one was starting and Jen was ready for it. She had friends and family that supported her and where there for her.
