Our Unknown Love
Chapter 9
The ride to G-Major was silent, Tommy took his free hand and held Jude's while driving. "How'd it go with Bay's teacher?" Tom asked. "She didn't take it too well and I also had to speak with the Principal and Vice-Principal too, you know so they're informed of his condition. I told them to treat Bailey normally like there's nothing wrong and not to say anything to the other parents and his classmates, and they agreed it would be best too. They would also contact me if they notice anything unusual with him."
"Are you okay babe?" "Yea, I'm fine. It's just you know and see things like this have happened to other people, I just thought that I would never be one of those people to actually go through it. Now with all of this happening it just makes my life seem more real," Jude explained as tears slowly fell. Tom parked his car in his spot at G-Major and ran to Jude's side opening her door to take her in his arms and sob into his chest. He rubbed her back to calm her down, "Shh. Everything will be alright, Bay will get better you'll see," Tom assured her. "How do you know?" "I know because Bailey has a lot of love and support from family and friends, and he's a fighter and strong just like his mother whom I love very much," he replied giving Jude a kiss of comfort and love. "I love you too," Jude smiled. "C'mon let's get inside we have work to do and we have to call Bay's doctor to schedule an appointment," Tom reminded her and remembering that he had to talk to her about another matter.
Jude and Tom walked into G-Major together holding hands, despite all of the sadness that was going on they were extremely happy to finally together as a couple. As they walked in they proceeded with their daily routine dropping their belongings in their studio, studio 1. Darius had given it to them when Jude turned 18 due to her success in the company. Jude's albums had gone platinum each year since she had been with G-Major till the present day.
After they stopped by the front desk to check for messages and mail in their boxes, then to hospitality for their refill of coffee. Jude was at the counter getting two new fresh cups of coffee and Tommy was searching for Pop Tarts for her daily fix and as soon as he found them he came up behind Jude wrapping one arm around her waist and the other brought out her Pop Tarts. Jude turned around to face him so she could give him a proper 'thank you' by connecting their lips.
Slowly their kiss deepened and Tom pressed his lower half against Jude so she could feel the bit of his excitement just being near her which was quite often even before they got together, but she didn't need to know that he thought. Suddenly they were interrupted with, "Ahem, excuse us!" They slowly pulled away clearly not wanting to separate, they smiled at each other and Jude turned around so they were both finally turning to see Kwest and Sadie. "Good morning guys!" The married couple greeted grinning widely at the two. "Hey!" The new couple replied.
"Alright, so what's going on with you two?" Kwest asked as he pointed between Tommy and Jude. "Well…" Jude began then Tommy finished, "Jude and I are a 'we.'" "'We' meaning you two are a couple," Sadie stated in a questioning tone. Jude smiled at her big sister and nodded her head beaming with happiness. Sadie squealed and yanked her sister out of her boyfriend's arms pulling her to the women's restroom.
"Oh my gosh Jude! I can't believe it you and Tommy are finally together. How do you feel?!" "Sadie calm down! It's not a big deal," Jude said as she was trying to get her sister to stop squealing. Sadie breathed deeply and finally relaxed, "Jude it is a big deal. You two have been running circles around each other since the day you met." "We have not." "Uh, yes you have and now after 5 years you're actually together. How did it happen?"
Jude stood quietly to think, she hesitated to tell her big sister about what happened the night before. "Jude! Just tell me already! I'll get it out of you one way or another!" "Well, after you all left I asked Tommy to stay cuz I didn't want to be alone last night, and well we talked and then we kind of…got together." "Got together,….. you mean you two…and it was your first time too." Jude nodded to answer. "So how was it?!" Sadie curiously asked. "Sadie! I'm not going to kiss and tell!" "So it was that good huh?" Jude smiled but only replied, "Shut up!" and walked out of the restroom.
Earlier, when Sadie had left with Jude….
"So Tom, you and Jude are together huh?" Kwest spoke. "Yea we're together. Are you okay with that? I mean I know we've been friends for a long ass time, but she is your sister-in-law,' Tom replied. "There's really not much I can say, I mean Jude is an adult, hell she's a mom already. The only thing I can say is it's about damn time!" Tom could only respond chuckling at his best friend's reaction and patting him on the shoulder saying thanks.
"So how'd it happen man?" Kwest asked. "Well after you all left she asked me to stay over, we talked, told each other how we felt and everything after that is history," Tom had explained short and simple without going into any details. If he did he knew Jude would never let him live. "So was she any good T, I mean I know it was her first time?" "Shut up man! I'm not going to tell you!" Tom spat out as the girls came near.
"Tell him what?" Jude asked as she placed herself back in Tommy's arms and Sadie returned to Kwest. "Nothing babe," he quickly replied kissing her intensely so she would forget about the questions and she did.
"Have you told Bay yet?" Sadie asked concerned about her nephew then Jude spoke, "Actually he seems happy about it." "He even thought we were already together," Tom continued. "What made him think that?" asked Kwest and Jude continued smiling at Tommy first. "He said because he saw us together all the time, kissing and hugging, and that's why he slammed the door at the guys I had gone on dates with." From that answer the four had burst into laughter.
The four finally separated to their respective places, Sadie to her office, Kwest in studio 2 and Jude and Tommy to theirs.
Tommy and Jude spent most of the day writing and recording. As Jude finished recording she walked out of the sound booth taking a seat in her chair next Tom's. "Jude, we need to talk," he started off. "About?" "It's about Bay and the bone marrow transplant that he needs." "What about it?" "Well, have you thought about going to the clinic to find out who is biological father is and maybe getting in touch with him in case he's needed. You know there is a possibility that he'll match." "Actually the thought has crossed my mind." "So what are you going to do?" "I'll call Dr. Davis right now so we can schedule our meeting with, if you want to go that is." Tommy took Jude's hands in his, "Of course I'll go and I'll be there for all his appointment and treatments too."
Jude smiled, "From there we'll announce it to everyone and if there's no other match then I will contact him, but I will talk to the clinic ahead of time to have the information ready. I think the clinic has to contact him first before I speak to him. They need inform him of the situation, so that means I have to tell the clinic too about Bay's condition. That's one of the conditions in the contract." "What condition?" "Since the sperm donor is anonymous it pretty much means he doesn't want to be found. But they explained that on my contract it states that the only reason I would be allowed to contact or meet the donor would be for medical reasons only and the same goes for the donor's contract he agrees to only be contact for medical reasons and he must meet the person who received his sperm." "Oh, ok well that's good then that the donor has to comply. Hopefully he won't be an ass about it," Tom commented. "I don't think he will be. Form what I remember on his application he seemed like a pretty decent guy and had a lot of passion for music. It's one of the reasons I chose him."
"You ready to go to lunch?" Tom asked. "Yea let's go and then I can make those calls." They both stepped out of the studio and headed out. Jude made the call to Dr. Davis' office for an appointment at the end of the week then Jude had contact the clinic in Toronto.
"Good afternoon! Toronto Fertility Clinic, how may I direct your call?" The receptionist answered. "Hello, I'd like to talk to the person in charge of releasing donor's information." "Thank you let me transfer you to our records department." Jude patiently waited then a voice answered, "Records department this is Aileen how may I help you?" "Hello Aileen! My name is Jude Harrison and I am client of your clinic. I received a sperm donation about 4 years ago and I need the get in contact with the anonymous donor because my son is sick." "Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that Miss Harrison," Aileen replied with sadness in her tone. "Thank you." "What you will need to do is come to the clinic to fill out some paper work and we will pull the file of the donor and contact them immediately." "Thank you Aileen. I'll be down within the hour." "You're welcome and I look forward to meeting you."
After lunch Jude went to the clinic to fill out the necessary paperwork. She had dropped off Tom at the studio and taken his H2. As soon as Jude arrived she headed towards the record department met with Aileen and completed the papers. "Thank you Aileen for your help I really appreciate it." "You're welcome Miss Harrison. We'll contact the donor and inform him of the situation, but we will not go into details. We will leave you to do that." "Thank you again and I understand." "I hope your son gets better!" Aileen said and Jude was leaving. "Thank you Aileen! I hope so too."
Jude arrived back at G-Major and went straight to her studio. Tommy turned as soon as he heard her come in and smiled. "Hey baby! How'd it go at the clinic?' Tom asked ask he pecked Jude softly on the lips and pulled her onto his lap. "It was good. I filled out the paper work and they should be contacting him within the next few days, it just all depends on how fast they can locate the file." "Well that's good news," Tom replied and kissing Jude again with more passion and she moaned into his kiss. "Mmm, I missed you," Tom spoke as he pulled away. "Babe, how about I get Bay to sleep over at my dad's tonight and you and I can spend some time together, alone?" Jude asked. "Jude, are you sure you'll be okay being away from Bay? I know we just started this actual relationship but I don't want you to think that I expect to be alone with you all the time. In fact I love spending time with Bay and you." "Yea, I'll be fine and I know you wouldn't think that. Besides my dad wanted to take him to school today but he had to go into work and I know he's off tomorrow so I know he'd love to do it. Plus he has been bugging me about Bay spending the night with him, but I never did since he was still so little and well since he's using the bathroom on his own, can talk and pretty much does stuff on his own anyway it will be pretty easy for my dad," Jude enlightened. "As long as you're ok with it all, then it's fine with me," Tom stated. "Yes, I'm ok with it. A lot has happened in the past 48 hours and I just want a little time to relieve my stress, relax and some time with you." "Alright, whatever you want," he complied and Jude gave him another long deep kiss so he has something to look forward to.
Aileen went to her system and entered in the information Jude had provided. She found the file number connected to Jude donor then went to the back file room. She finally reached the numerical section for the file number she was searching, found the file and pulled it out. Aileen returned to her desk and opened the file and read the name, "Hmm, nice name," Aileen commented.
Aileen picked up the phone to contact the donor, but the number was disconnected. Luckily there were emergency and family contact numbers for the donor. She contacted the parents first, Gerard and Guinevere. "Hello Ma'am! My name is Aileen and I'm calling from the Toronto Fertility Clinic. I'm calling in regards to on of your sons." "What about my son and I only have one and 3 daughters," Guinevere spoke. "Well you see ma'am your phone number was listed as the nearest family member and emergency contact. You see your son was an anonymous sperm donor and the person who received his sperm must contact him in regards to some medical problems that I am not allowed to disclose. I was wondering if you had a new phone number so we may contact him in regards to this matter." "Why yes of course." Guinevere replied calmly then continued, "If you please give me your name and number as well I will also contact him to make sure he gets a hold of you." Guinevere gave Aileen the number without hesitation. "Thank you very much for your help ma'am. I really appreciate it," Aileen said politely. "It was my pleasure. If you have any other questions or can't get a hold of him, please do not hesitate to contact me again." "Thank you!" Aileen said then hung up the phone to make her call.
Aileen made the call and the phone rang a few times until the answering machine picked up, "Hey you've reached me sorry I missed your call! Just leave your name, number and message and I'll get back to you," then the beep came on. "Hello this is Aileen from the Toronto Fertility Clinic. This message is for a Mr. Thomas Gerard Du Tois. I am calling in regards to the anonymous sperm donation you made approximately 9 years ago. If you could please return my call as soon as possible I would greatly appreciate it," Aileen explained briefly on the machine and left her number.
