Another quick turnaround by me! I don't know whats wrong with me! Thanks as always to Hollie and littlebit100, I love reading your reviews. Enjoy!

May arrived in London bringing warm sunshine and sunny days. Jess' arm and face were healed perfectly with no scars or permanent marks. The weather was slowly warming up meaning Jess and Callum could finally start to enjoy their garden and sit outside for meals. They were enjoying breakfast outside when the doorbell rang. Callum went to get it while Jess finished her decaffeinated coffee, closing her eyes as rays of sun warmed her skin. Callum returned with a pile of post and a big package. He sat down next to her, sorting through the mail.

"Bills, bills, rubbish, bills, oh looks like a postcard from your brother. And this lumpy package is yours." Callum said, handing it over and starting on the bills.

Jess turned it over in her hands, noting the return address was her parents. She undid the string around the package and slid the envelope out. She placed the package on the table and opened the envelope.

Jess,

Do not, I repeat, do not open this anywhere near Callum. Wait until he's out the house or go to a friends house to open this.

Mum

Jess frowned at the cryptic message.

"What did it say?" Callum asked, looking at her confused face.

"Erm just told me not to open it near you." Jess said, her brow furrowed.

"Any idea what it is?" Callum wondered, finishing his breakfast.

"None at all. I'll wait until you've gone to work and get Sally over to investigate." Jess said with a smile.

"Alright then. Talking of work, I better make a move if I want to be on time. You going to be ok?" he asked her, standing up and gathering their plates.

"Course I will be. Have a good day, I'll call you later. Love you." she called after him as he headed back into the house. Jess picked up her phone and sent a quick text to Sally, requesting her presence. Sally responded, telling her she'd be over in an hour. Jess grabbed the package off the table and went inside to get dressed.

The doorbell rang just after an hour. Jess opened the door and ushered Sally inside and up the stairs to her room.

"So what's this about a mysterious package?" Sally asked immediately, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Mum sent me this package and here's the note attached." Jess replied, handing Sally the note and sitting beside her. Sally scanned it quickly and grinned.

"How exciting! And you have no idea what it is?" Sally asked, turning.

"None at all. Right, shall I open it?" Jess asked excitedly.

"Nah I think you should just sit and stare at it." Sally said sarcastically.

"Alright alright! Ok here we go." Jess said, pulling the package to her. She undid the string and ripped off the brown paper, revealing another layer of paper and another envelope. She handed Sally the envelope and slowly pulled off the other layer of paper. Out of the paper tumbled a load of cream silk. Jess picked it up and patted it down, holding it this way and that trying to figure out what it was. She finally got it the right way and gasped in surprise, her eyes widening in shock.

"What is it? Let me see!" Sally begged. Jess turned it and held it out to Sally. "Oh my God it's beautiful!" Jess was holding a cream silk dress with a lace overlay; a wedding dress.

"What does it say on the letter?" Jess asked, hugging the dress to herself as Sally opened the envelope.

Darling Jess,

This was the dress I wore when I married your dad. It was all the rage those days and hopefully it's classic enough to still look lovely. I've been to see a seamstress who said it shouldn't be too hard to take it out to accommodate the baby bump. I hope you like it. When you married Dan I knew he wasn't the right one, not like Callum is, which is why it's only now I'm giving you the dress. Callum is the piece of your soul that you didn't even know was missing, never forget that.

I love you darling,

Mum

"Wow! This was your mums? Its gorgeous! Try it on!" Sally urged, putting the note on the bed.

"What if it doesn't fit over my belly?" Jess whined.

"Just try it! Your mum said it can be taken out!" Sally said. Jess hung the dress on the back of her door so she could look at it properly before she put it on. It was a cream empire line dress with a V neckline made with lace. Sequins lined under the bust and across the neckline and straps, with a scattering of sequins around the hem area of the dress and the small train. Jess brushed her fingers over the silk, remembering all the times she had looked at her parents wedding album and commented to her mum on the dress. She remembered once when she was about seven telling her mother that she would get married to her prince in that dress, and here she was, with the dress. She unzipped her dress and slowly unzipped the back of the wedding dress, stepping into it and pulling it on. It just about covered her bump; it would definitely need taking out.

"Sal can you zip me up?" she asked quietly. Sally zipped her in and smiled widely at her. "How do I look?"

"You look...I can't even think of a word to describe it! Have a look in the mirror." Sally urged with a smile. Jess walked carefully over to the mirror, not wanting to stand on the hem of the dress. Her mouth made an "O" shape and her eyes were disbelieving as she looked at herself. She didn't look like herself. She looked like a radiant bride who was shortly going to marry the man of her dreams. The dress fitted her perfectly. She could feel herself tearing up. "I told you."

"I just can't believe it Sal! It's beautiful, perfect for the wedding. I can't believe it." Jess said, shaking her head.

"Callum won't be able to tear his eyes off of you." Sally laughed.

"Well thats good then! Could I ask you a big favour?" Jess asked, turning to face Sally. Sally nodded, "Can you keep the dress at yours?"

"Of course I can. I'll put it in the wardrobe in your old room. I won't let Nate see it either." Sally replied.

"Thank you. And how is that going? With Nate I mean?" Jess asked, turning so Sally could unzip the dress.

"Really good. He's been staying at mine a lot lately, I think it's coming up to the right time to move in together. I didn't think I was ready, but I am Jess, I definitely am." Sally said dreamily.

As Jess headed towards her eighteenth week of pregnancy it was getting harder and harder to conceal her bump. She was wearing the extra large male shirt and it was just about hiding her bump. Her and Callum had agreed that it was now time to tell everyone about the baby. She was changing into her uniform when Beth and Millie bustled in. Jess had her back to them and hadn't realised they were there until she heard them gasp. She draped the shirt over the front of her to try and hide her stomach and turned to face them.

"What's going on?" she asked innocently.

"Move that shirt out the way." Beth ordered.

"What? Beth no! I'm trying to change, get lost!" Jess said, shooing them.

"Since when we you so shy about changing in front of us?" Millie asked suspiciously.

"If you don't move the shirt I will tickle you." Beth warned.

"Oh come on Beth! I don't know what you think you saw but..." Jess began to say but was cut off by Millie.

"It looked to us like you had a big belly. Like you'd had too many kebabs." Millie said with nod, looking at Beth.

"Yeah or like maybe you were pregnant, I don't know?" Beth said, raising her eyebrows at Jess. Jess sighed. Today was the day she would be telling everyone anyway, so she didn't see what harm it would do by telling them now. She slowly moved the shirt out of the way and couldn't help laughing when she saw Millie and Beth take in her bump. They squealed and ran to hug her tight.

"Why didn't you tell us? You look massive!" Millie said, stepping back.

"We're telling everyone today. I didn't want everyone knowing straight away just in case we jinxed it, and then we just wanted to keep it a secret as long as possible." Jess said, doing her shirt buttons up.

"How many weeks are you?" Beth asked.

"Nearly eighteen. Now listen, we're announcing it at briefing so I don't want anyone coming up to congratulate me before then otherwise I know where it's come from! Understand?" Jess warned. Millie and Beth nodded happily and walked out.

"Jess come in, take a seat." Gold said with a smile.

"Ma'am you wanted to see me?" Jess asked expectantly.

"I did. How many weeks are you now?" she asked.

"Eighteen nearly. We're telling everyone at briefing today if that's ok?" Jess asked.

"Thats perfect, I was about to suggest that it might be wise. Those shirts aren't doing very much to conceal you anymore." Gina said with a smile, "And you can't keep using the antibiotics lie about why you're not drinking!"

Jess laughed, "That is true. Thanks ma'am, for not telling anyone."

"I've never been one for gossip PC Hunter. Off you go, briefing is in ten." Gina said dismissing Jess from the office. Jess thanked her boss and left the room.

Jess knocked on the door of the Sergeants office, going in and perching on Callum's desk.

"Millie and Beth happened to walk in and spy my bump when I was changing, so it's lucky we're telling everyone today." Jess said.

"Is that what Gold wanted to see you about?" Callum wondered, finishing his typing.

Jess nodded, "She said the shirts weren't doing much anymore and I couldn't keep using antibiotics as my excuse for not drinking."

"Well she's right; the excuse was good for the first two times but it became more and more unbelievable by the tenth time!" Callum joked.

"I know I know! But what else was I supposed to say?" Jess asked.

"Maybe that you were pregnant?" Smithy piped up.

"Hush you! I've got the scan pictures with me as well to show people." Jess said, absently rubbing her bump.

"Why do you have them?" Callum asked in confusion.

"I always have them in my diary. It's just like having a school photo of our child in there, just a bit premature." Jess explained.

Callum laughed and shook his head, "Right then. Come on, let's get this show on the road."

Jess sat at the back of the briefing room with the girls, all of them trying to concentrate on their jobs for the shift but distracting each other with Jess' scan pictures. Gina finally got to the end of the jobs for the day and made to wrap up the briefing. Everyone started to get up, stopping when she held her hand up.

"Er hold on, I haven't said you could go yet! Sergeant Stone just has something to add. Sit." she commanded, perching on the edge of the desk. Callum stepped forward and smiled at Jess.

"I have a picture I would like you all the look at very closely. Jess, if you could do the honours." he said, smiling. Everyone turned to look at Jess expectantly. She held up the scan photo towards everyone. There was silence at first and then people began to realise what she was holding. "Jess and I are expecting a baby for those of you who hadn't figured that out yet." Everyone started to laugh and congratulate the couple.

"And there was me thinking your glow was due to good make-up!" Nate shouted from across the room.

"So you're going to be having a shotgun wedding then?" Will asked loudly, getting up and hugging Jess.

"Watch it Will!" Callum warned, but he was smiling.

"How many months are you? And where's the bump?" Mel asked. Jess stood up, pulling up her shirt. "Ah, there it is!"

"Four and a half months Mel. It's been hard keeping this under wraps!" she said with a laugh.

"So you haven't been on antibiotics all this time then?" Ben asked, grinning.

"Nope, it was the only excuse I could think of." Jess replied, tucking her shirt back in.

"Seriously, is the wedding happening before baby is born?" Will asked.

"Yeah that's the plan! We're thinking of having it at the end of August which will be when I'm about eight months." Jess answered.

"You better get planning then!" Nate joked.

"I know! Tell me about it! Will, can I have a quick word?" she said to Will before he walked off.

"Course, what's up?" Will asked.

"I wondered, and you can say no if you want, but would you be a best man of sorts for me?" Jess asked, knowing that it wasn't exactly conventional.

"Are you serious?" Will asked.

"Yeah. Sally's my maid of honour, but you're like my brother, in fact you're more like my brother than my real brother most the time." Jess said honestly.

"Does that mean I can't cop off with any of the bridesmaids though?" he asked, a twinkle in his eye.

"Well you can, but besides Sally, Beth is my other bridesmaid. But sure, go ahead. And one other thing before you go." Jess continued.

"Go on?" Will said.

"How would you like to be godfather?" she asked slowly.

"I'd be honoured! I can teach him or her the finest mischief making in Sun Hill, and how to get away with it!" Will said with a grin, dodging as Jess tried to hit him.

"Thanks Will, it means a lot to me and Callum." Jess said, hugging him tightly.

The next month flew by in a whirlwind of wedding plans. Aided by Sally and Beth, Jess had managed to plan and organise most of the wedding. The bridesmaids dresses had been ordered; the girls would be wearing strapless, knee length pale yellow silk dressed with a chiffon overlay. The invited had been ordered and due to be sent out any day now. Callum and Jess had selected the flowers which would be yellow tulips mixed in with white roses. Michelle would be making the cakes which would consist of thirty chocolate cupcakes and thirty plain sponge cupcakes, all topped with lemon icing and yellow sugar petals. Jess' parents would be arriving two weeks before the wedding and staying at the Stone's house until the big day so that Michelle would be able to make the cakes at Jess' and not have to worry about transporting them. Andy would arrive a few days before the wedding to help with any finishing touches. The local Church had been booked which was a gorgeous grey stoned church with a small bell tower and loads of flowers surrounding it. If you didn't know it was in London you never would have guessed. Jess was exhausted by the time most of the planning was done, but she realised how blessed she was having her friends and family rally round to help her organise it. Unlike when she was planning her wedding to Dan, this felt right and a lot less stressful. Maybe it was because she had already done it once so knew what to expect, or maybe it was because this time she was marrying the right man.
