Two months had passed. Nicole and Jeff decided not to make any long term wedding plans just yet. They both knew he'd be busy with work for awhile. Neither of them had a problem with a nice long engagement. They did decide to make decision about small things such as wedding party. Jessica was going to be Nicole's maid of honor and Matt was going to be Jeff's best man. Nicole had invited Amy out to lunch.

"How's your nausea?" Amy asked.

"It still comes and goes."

"It's been like two weeks."

"Yeah I guess we've just been on the road to much." "When Jeff and I go home in two weeks I'm gonna take it real easy and relax." She yawned.

"Tired?"

"Yeah." "I don't know why." "I fell asleep before nine o'clock last night." "Jeff and I were snuggled on the couch watching a movie and the next thing I know, he's carrying me to bed." "There's a reason why I wanted to have lunch with you today." "You can't be my maid of honor because I had to ask Jessica first."

"Naturally." "She is your sister."

"I do want you to be there with me though." "I haven't asked anybody else this yet." "Will you please be a bridesmaid?"

"Of course I will." "I'm glad you asked me."

"Of course I want you in my wedding." "Don't worry I'll like you pick out your own dress." "It won't be a bridesmaid horror show." She said laughing.

"That's good to know."

They're food came. Nicole got a double cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate milkshake. She ate it all.

"Wow someone was hungry." Amy said.

"I think it's because I haven't been able to keep anything down."

After lunch Nicole went back to the hotel. She'd just walked through the door.

"Jeff honey, are you here?" She called.

"I'm getting dressed Nic-Nic." He said from the bedroom. "I just got out of the shower." She went into the bedroom. "How was lunch?" He asked as he slipped his shirt over his head.

"Good."

"Did she say yes?"

"Yeah."

"I knew she would." He went over to his bag, took a pill out and swallowed it. Nicole rolled her eyes.

"Don't look at me like that." "I've got it under control baby."

"Do you?"

"Yes." She walked out of the room.

The next day they flew to Austin, Texas. It was late afternoon was Jeff got back from an autograph signing.

"I'm back." He said. Nicole came out of the bathroom smiling. She went up to Jeff wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. He kissed her back just as passionately. It was slow. "Wow." "What was that for?"

"I love you so much." "I have something to tell you."

"What?"

"You're gonna be a daddy."

"What?" He said shocked and excited.

"I'm pregnant." She said happily.

"No." He said still in shock.

"Yeah." He hugged her.

"When did you find out?"

"I took the third pregnancy test about five minutes ago."

He started to laugh happily. "I'm gonna be a daddy." "This is so great." "I love you Nicole."

"I love you too Jeff." They kissed.

"We're gonna have a baby." "You know what Nic-Nic?"

"What?"

He went into the bedroom and got his pills. "Come on." He said going back out and heading to the bathroom. They went into the bathroom. He dumped his pills in the toilet and flushed it. "No more." He said turning to her. "From now on I'm gonna be clean I promise." "I'll be a good father and that means no drugs."

"If it's a girl, I want to name her Ruby."

"Really?" He said smiling.

"Yeah." He kissed her.

"Can we tell Matt, Amy and my dad?"

"Yeah but I want hold off on telling mom and Jessica until we go home." "Jessica's supposed to be in town of a few days while we're home." "I want to tell them at a big family dinner."

"Ok."

"Plus it'll give me time to make an appointment with the doctor to confirm."

"Can we go tell Matt now?"

"Yeah."

They went down to Matt's room. Jeff knocked on the door. Matt answered.

"Hey Matt." Jeff said. "You busy?"

"No."

"Can we come in?"

"Yeah."

Amy was sitting on the couch.

"Good." "You're here to." Jeff said. "Can I tell them?" He asked looking at Nicole.

"Yeah." She said.

"Guys, Nicole's pregnant, we're having a baby."

"You're having a baby?" Matt said shocked.

"That's right, uncle Matt." Matt and Jeff hugged.

"That's awesome." "Congratulations."

"Thanks."

Amy stood up. She and Nicole hugged. "Congratulations, I'm so happy for you." Amy said.

"Thanks." "I can't believe I'm gonna be a mom."

"You'll be a great mom." She hugged Jeff. "Congratulations Jeff."

"Thanks Amy." Jeff said.
