Weeks Later
Jen was relieved to be out of bed over the past couple of weeks, both her parents had taken days off their jobs to help her out, even those times she had to get out of bed to use the bathroom in case it was morning sickness. While Katie along with Trip and Lucas had visited her feeling they needed to comfort her and being good friends. Jen and her parents were at the hospital for Jen's check up, the doctor had told Jen that everything seemed to be alright, her blood pressure was normal and she no longer had to stay in bed anymore.
After they left the hospital, Jen was ready to go back to work and started heading her way to Time Force. Shortly after arriving, she saw Katie who was happy to see her back, since she had already missed so many days of work.
"Jen, you're no longer in bed anymore." Katie said.
"It's only been at least 4 weeks, but it's good to be back." Jen said. "Is Captain Logan in his office?" she asked.
"Yeah he is. Why do you need to see him?" Katie asked.
"Because I have to tell him I have to be off work for the next 6 months till the baby is born." Jen explained.
"But you just got back." Katie said.
"I know, I've already reached my third month and I can't let stress at work get to me." Jen said. "I have to go, I'll see you later." she said as she started walking her way to Captain Logan's office, when she suddenly bumped into someone, not watching where she was going.
"I'm sorry I didn't know where I was-" Jen paused for a minute and looked at the person she bumped into was Alex.
"Alex." Jen said.
"Jennifer." Alex said.
"When did you came back?" Jen asked.
"Yesterday." Alex responded. "How have you been?" he asked.
"Fine, like always." Jen answered.
"Where are you headed of to?" he asked.
"To go see Captain Logan at his office." she answered.
"Oh okay, well I have to go." Alex said, when he started to walk, Jen stopped him for a minute.
"Alex." she said, when he turned around. "Yeah." he responded.
"There's something I have to tell you." Jen said.
"Can it wait, I have a lot of things to do." Alex said.
"This won't take long." she said.
"Okay, just tell me." he said.
"Alex...I'm..." Jen was interrupted when she heard someone calling Alex's name.
"Alex you're needed." said a Time Force officer.
"I'll be right there." Alex responded. "Look Jennifer, I have to go maybe you should tell me some other time."
"Sure." Jen responded as Alex left and started to continue her way to Captain Logan's office.
After leaving Captain Logan's office and discussing about her having to take the next 6 months off, Jen was glad that Captain Logan understood. Jen was walking her way to the cafeteria and spotted Katie and sat with her.
"Hi Jen, did you talk to Captain Logan?" Katie asked.
"Yeah, he understood." Jen answered.
"So Jen did you know that Alex came back from his mission." Katie said.
"Yeah, I bumped into him on my way to Captain Logan's office." Jen responded.
"Did you tell him?" Katie asked.
"I was about to, but he was busy." Jen answered.
"You have to tell him Jen, he has to know." Katie said.
"I know, it just won't be easy, I don't know how Alex is going to take this." Jen said.
"Don't worry he'll understand." Katie said.
"You're probably right, I hope he's not too busy right now." Jen said as she left to go find Alex. While searching around she finally found him talking with other Time Fore officers, she then started to walk towards him.
"Alex." she shouted his name. "You're not busy are you?" she asked him.
"No not at all, I was just about to leave." Alex answered.
"Alex I need to tell you something." Jen said.
"Okay, then tell me." Alex responded.
"Not here, why don't you stop by my house and we can talk." she said.
"I guess why not." he responded.
"Okay I'll see you when I get off work." Jen said.
"Yeah, I'll see you then." Alex said as he left. Jen knew it wasn't going to be easy to tell Alex.
When Jen got out of work she started to drive her way home, when she arrived her parent's weren't home yet and went inside her house, then went to the kitchen and grabbed a cup then poured herself some water and started to drink the water. She then heard the door bell ring and knew who it was then went to go open the door.
"Alex I didn't think you would come." Jen said
"I know I took long I'm here anyways." Alex said.
"Come in." she said when Alex entered her house. "Go ahead and sit down." Alex sat down on the couch and Jen sat next to him.
"How are things while I was gone?" Alex asked.
"Just the same, nothing much really." Jen responded. "How was your mission?" she asked.
"You know capturing mutants takes a while to try and arrest them." he answered, both were quiet for a minute, as Jen started to speak.
"Alex there's something you should know." she said when she started to feel tears in her eyes.
"Is something wrong?" Alex asked when he saw Jen not wanting to look at him. "Jennifer you know you can tell me anything." he said and grabbed Jen's hand to comfort her, but she put her hand aside.
"Alex I really don't know how to tell you this." she responded as tears fell from her eyes.
"What is it?" he asked.
"It's that...I'm..." she tried to say the last word but couldn't.
"Jennifer are you okay?" Alex asked.
"No I'm not." Jen responded.
"Then what is it?" he asked.
"Alex...I'm pregnant." Jen had finally answered him.
"What?" Alex said surprised to hear what Jen said.
"I'm pregnant Alex with Wes's baby." she said.
"How far are you?" he asked.
"About 3 months, I asked Captain Logan if I could take 6 months off of work, till the baby is born, and he was okay with it." Jen answered when she looked at Alex and felt he didn't know what to say. "I understand that you don't know how to react, I didn't know how to react either when I found out, neither did my parents."
"How did you found out?" he asked.
"I almost suffered a miscarriage. I had severe abdominal pain which almost caused me to loose the baby, but I didn't, I had to be in bed for 3 to 4 weeks then I had to go back to the hospital for a check-up." she answered, Alex was speechless didn't know what else to say.
"Alex are you upset?" she asked.
"No, why would I be, I'm happy for you Jennifer that your going to have a baby and be a mother." he responded.
"If Wes was still alive he would have been happy to know that he was going to be a father." Jen said.
"You still miss him don't you?" he asked.
"I think about him all the time, this baby is all I have left of him to remember." she said when tears started falling from her eyes.
"Jennifer don't be sad, it's going to be okay." he said and then hugged her, when they both heard the door open to see Jen's parents had just arrived home.
"Jennifer we're sorry we arrived late." Mr. Scotts said when him and his wife saw Alex with her.
"Alexander what a surprise to see you." Mrs. Scotts said.
"Hi it's nice to see you both." Alex said.
"How have you been?" Mrs. Scotts asked.
"I've been fine." he responded.
"What brings you here?" Mr. Scotts asked.
"We were just talking that's all." Jen answered for Alex.
"I was just about to leave, it was nice seeing you both and was nice talking to you Jennifer." Alex said on his way to the door and left.
"What were you and Alexander talking about?" Mr. Scotts asked.
"I told him that I'm pregnant." Jen answered.
"How did he take it?" Mrs. Scotts asked.
"He didn't know how react either, but he's happy for me." she answered.
"I get the feeling that Alexander is still in love with you." Mrs. Scotts said.
"Mom I don't love him anymore like I use to, we're just friends now, he has to understand." Jen said.
"If he still loves you, would you give him a chance?" Mrs. Scotts asked.
"I don't know if I can." Jen responded.
"Think about it, why don't you rest and I'll tell you when dinner is ready." Mrs. Scotts said.
"Sure." she said and headed her way to her room then rested on her bed, she then grabbed he little stuffed bear then closed her eyes and put her hand where she had the stuffed bear on her stomach.
