March 2017 New York City.

Dress shopping with Zoe.

Jo sipped her orange juice while she waited for Zoe to come out in yet another fantastic gown. They had so far narrowed it down to 3 choices. This next dress was going to be the last one Zoe tried on today and Abby, Zoe's mom, was coming up next weekend to help make the final choice.

"Are you ready?" Zoe called.

"Let's see it." Jo called back.

Zoe entered the room in a halter style draped A-line gown with a sweep train. "I think this is it." She squealed.

"You look, wow Zoe, you look so grown up and so beautiful." Jo was awestruck by the woman standing before her. Zoe was a 15 year old felon wanna be when they met and now was 26 year only a few months shy of becoming a doctor.

"I think I could wear my hair up and use the tiara from your wedding. I can't believe this is really happening." Zoe babbled grinning widely. "Ok let me get changed and then we get to find your matron of honor dress!" She popped in the changing room and was soon back in her normal clothes. "Ok, so mom and I will be back next weekend and we will Skype you in and I will make my final decision. Now onto your dress, anything in particular you want?"

Jo took a deep breath and smiled. "I'm not too picky but it has to have an empire waist."

Zoe shook her head. "An empire waist will do nothing for you figure. It's too flowy you should have something more form fitting, unless…" She stopped and grabbed Jo's arms. "Are you…"

Jo nodded. "About 8 weeks. Due mid October, Zane is over the moon happy. Who would have ever thought he would love kids so much?"

"And Emma?"

"We haven't told her or really anyone else yet. After the problems with my first pregnancy we're being cautious." Jo place a hand protectively on her stomach.

"And you are staying away from any experiments right?" Zoe looked concerned.

"Yes ma'am, far far away. So lets find me a dress that I can grow into."

Zoe linked her arm through Jo's and they walked towards the bride's maid dresses. "I am totally delivering this baby you know."

"Wouldn't have it any other way Aunt Zoe."
