Chapter 10

Are you really gone?

Jude awoke in Tommy's arms and smiled. But then she remembered the night before and rolled out of bed. Her swollen, 5 months pregnant stomach made it a little harder than normal, but she did it well. As like the last 2 months, she'd been fighting with Mason. Last night she officially ended the engagement and moved in with Tommy, who had a room already done for the baby. At some point the had planned on moving in with him for their son's sake, but she hadn't planned for it to be so soon…Sometimes she regretted that night they'd spent together…

After she was ready to go, she walked down the stairs and left a note on the counter for him before leaving and going to G Major. When she arrived, Liam and Sadie were chatting it up with Kwest and Portia.

"Hey guys…"

She walked around the counter and sat in Sadie's chair on her lap.

"You know, if you didn't only way 120 pounds, I'd make you move, because you're heavy…"

"No I'm not…I never have been…That's why everyone can lift me up…" She said emotionless.

"Okay, what happened last night that was so bad?"

"Mason broke up with me…"


"Wow…After the last two months…I was kind of hoping you two would find a way to work it out…"

"Yeah…me too." She laid her head on her sisters' shoulder, closing her eyes.

"Jude, why are you so tired? You and Tom didn't hook up last night, did you?"

"NO…I don't know why I'm so tired…I just feel like I want to…(yawn)…sleep…" She nuzzled her head lightly, keeping her eyes closed. Liam looked down at the floor where the was a small puddle of blood.

"Which one of you is bleeding?" He lifted Jude out of Sadie's lap and saw the blood all over her leg. It began to soak into his shirt sleeve. "Sadie, call Tom. One of you call 911, and the other go get Darius."

They all did what they were supposed to, and Liam carried Jude into Studio C, where the black leather couch was. Several seconds later, Tommy ran in behind him.

"What's going on?"

"Tom?" Jude opened her eyes slightly, barely seeing him. He took her from Liam's arms and sat down on the couch, getting a better grip on her. Blood was quickly soaking into his pant leg, but he didn't care.

"What happened?"

"She came in and didn't feel well…Said she was tired…And then she was sitting on Sadie's lap, and I saw blood on the floor…and it all went from there…"

Tommy nodded as tears filled his eyes.

"Stay with me baby…" She opened her eyes and looked at him.

"I love you, Tom…"

"Jude…" He said, but she'd fallen into unconsciousness. Mason walked in, seeing them immediately.

"What happened!?"

"I don't know…she's hemorrhaging…" Tommy adjusted her in his arms as several paramedics entered the room with a gurney.

"Okay, Mr. Quincy, I'm gonna need you to listen to me and do everything very carefully…first of all, is she conscious?"

"She was a few minutes ago, but she isn't now…"

"Okay…I'm gonna need you to stand and carefully lay her on the gurney, and then help to get her strapped down."

"Okay…" He stood and laid her on the gurney and held onto her left side as they strapped her down. They all walked out of the room several minutes later and headed for the door.

"I'm gonna go with Jude in the ambulance…" Tommy nodded to Sadie before walking out the door with the paramedics.

"Come on, Mason. You can ride with me and Liam…"

"Okay..." They all walked out of the lobby, quickly followed by Kwest, Portia, and Darius.

(Some Time Later)

(How much longer? Well, let's just say that it's not a few hours days or weeks…:D)

Tommy walked back in the room to see Eden. She and Jude had come to terms with everything, especially after Shay had cheated on her in the same cruel way, and the two had become great friends.

"Eden…"

"Tom…How is she?" She looked at his blood shot eyes and regretted asking the question.

"The same…It's been too long, Eden…"

"I wish I could've come sooner…I'm sorry this happened…"

"It's not your fault…"

"I know that…But just looking at her…it scares me…It worries me that she wont--…"

"Yeah..."

"Did you sleep at all last night?"

"A few minutes here and there, but not really…"

"And the last few days?"

"The same…I just want her back, you know?"

"Yeah…" They both looked at her. "What's it been, 8 weeks?"

"Longer…4 months…(That's 16 weeks)."

"Wow…"

"Dr. Jensen said that they're probably going to have to a C- Section if she doesn't wake up soon…And if she doesn't that we should think about shutting off the machines…"

"How did it happen?"

"She passed out in my arms and never woke up…"

"Oh…I wrote a song for her…A long time ago…It's what made us friends…Could I try it to see if it wakes her up?"

"Uh, sure…"

"Thanks…"

"Get Over It…

Slipping down a slide

I did enjoy the ride

Don't know what to decide

You lied to me

You looked me in the eye

It took me by surprise

Now are you gratified

You cried to me…"

She turned her head to the side. Eden sat in a chair and Tommy sat on the bed next to her…

"La, la, la, la, la

Don't turn around

I'm sick and I'm tired of your face

Don't make this worse

You've already gone and got me mad

It's too bad I'm not sad

It's casting over

It's just one of those things

You'll have to get over it…"

She stirred lightly. Tommy squeezed her hand, hoping she'd wake.

"When I was feeling down

You'd start to hang around

And then I found your hands all over me

And that was out of bounds

You filthy rotten hound

It's better than it sounds, believe me…"

Her eyes began to flutter, but nothing else changed…

"La, la, la, la, la…"

They both remembered that the song was about how mad the two were at Shay after how much he'd lied to everyone…

"Don't turn around

I'm sick and I'm tired of your face

Don't make this worse

You've already gone and got me mad

It's too bad I'm not sad

It's casting over

It's just one of those things

You'll have to get over it…"

Her eyes fluttered again, and Eden realized if she sang louder and stronger, Jude came closer to consciousness.

"Hey, you gotta get over it

Hey, you gotta get over it

It's too bad I'm not sad

It's casting over

It's just one of those things

You'll have to get over it

Don't turn around

I'm sick and I'm tired of your face

Don't make this worse

You've already gone and got me mad…"

She sang stronger and louder. Some nurses stopped outside the room and were going to come in, but saw Jude making movement and stopped, waiting to see if a miracle would happen today.

"Don't turn around

I'm sick and I'm tired of your face

Don't make this worse

You've already gone and got me mad

It's too bad I'm not sad

It's casting over

It's just one of those things

You'll have to get over it…"

Her eyes fluttered open, staring straight at Tommy.

"You'll have to get over it…"

"Where am I?"

"Oh my God!" Tears filled Tommy's eyes as he flung himself over her and hugged her tightly.

"Tommy?" He pulled back and stared at her. "Where am I?"

"Jude, you're at the hospital…You were in a coma…"

"For how long?"


"For 5 months…"

"The baby-, he-…"

"She's fine…but Dr. Jensen was talking about having to do a C-Section…you're supposed to deliver this week, remember?"

She nodded. Dr. Jensen walked in and checked Jude's vitals.

"Today truly is a miracle…I hate to have you jump so quickly from one thing to another Jude, but now that you're awake, rather than having to do a C-Section, I'd like to try and induce your labor…"

"What does that mean?"

"It means that we'll give you a drug that will put you in labor…"

"Okay…" She touched her stomach, and Tommy laid his had over hers, feeling the baby kick.

"Are you-…"

"Ow! Screw the drugs! You won't need then! Ahh!!" She squeezed Tommy's hand as she cringed in pain. Dr. Jensen walked over and dialed a number on the phone.

"Clear a room in delivery, we're coming up with a 9 month…" She walked over to the door. "Someone get in here!" Tommy got off the bed.

"Eden, go call everyone and tell them to get here…I'm going with Jude…"

"Okay…" She walked out of the room and Tommy turned to Dr. Jensen.

"Alright Tom, I need you to go with Rachel here, and she'll take you up to get some scrubs on, and then show you where to go…Okay?"

"Yeah…" He squeezed Jude's hand. "I'll see you in a few, okay?"

"Mmhmm…" She squeezed back before his hand slipped out of hers.

2 Hours Later

Tommy carried the baby over to Jude, still staring at him in awe. He laid him in her arms.

"He's perfect…"

"Yeah…" He smiled at her.

"Just like his father." She smiled up at him. He leaned down and kissed her softly. The 7 others who'd been around lately walked in.

"JUDE!!!" Sadie rushed over and hugged her sister. Jude looked at her after she'd stood back up and smiled.

"Sadie and Liam are having a baby?!" She smiled, laying her hand over Sadie's protruding stomach.

"4 months as of today…" Sadie smiled, looking at her fiancée.

"Wow…" Jude smiled.

"Ya'll can catch me up on everything that's happened later, because-"

"Because I have a question for you Jude…" Tommy sat down next to her and pulled something out of his coat pocket. (He's out of the scrubs and back in his clothes.) Everyone stared at him, happy to see what he was doing.

"Tom…"

"Jude…will you marry me?"

Oh my god…" They both looked down at their son. "I don't know…Should I marry your daddy?" He cooed, and Jude smiled.

"Yes, Tom…I'll marry you…" She smiled as he put the ring her finger and kissed her softly but passionately.

"Alright you two…Now tell us what you named the baby!"

We named him Jason…Jason Tyler-Christopher Quincy…"

"That's a mouthful…"


"Yes, but a very beautiful mouthful…" Jude smiled down at her baby as he began to doze off. Tommy caressed his cheek. "I love you, Jason Tyler-Christopher…" Tommy turned to Jude. "And I love you, Jude…"

She looked up at him and smiled He kissed her softly, but it soon deepened, and the other 7 left them to their business. Sadie took Jason from Jude and held him as they all cooed over him, and Tom and Jude continued to kiss, letting their tears mix.

Tears from being apart…Tears of fear for what could happen…But mostly, tears of joy…that they finally had Jason…And that they were getting married…
