I actually had no intention of posting this until Monday, but so many of you had questions about Jordan's attitude and I wanted to put your minds at ease. I hope you enjoy this and that it explains some things.

It's all Jitsy.


Jordan walked through the door, a present in one hand and Seseme Chicken in the other. If those two things weren't enough to get Jenna out of bed then he didn't know what would.

He had convinced her to leave her car at her grandparents when they left. He told her that there was no sense in taking both cars home since they were just coming back over there the next day for brunch. But really, he was still a little leery of her taking off again.

They had came home and she had immediately gone upstairs to her room, saying that she was tired and wanted to go back to sleep. He had looked in on her a few times and she looked like she was resting comfortably so he had gone out to pick up a few things.

He walked upstairs, still carrying both items in his hands and stopped outside her door. This time he didn't hear the silence of her sleeping. Instead he heard muffled sobs and he knew that she was crying into her pillow, desperately trying to not be heard.

He moved the gift bag into the hand that contained the food and gently knocked before he pushed the door open. He saw her quickly trying to wipe the tears away before he could see them, but her red, puffy eyes said it all.

"I come bearing food and a present," he said as light heartedly as he could as he walked towards her.

"I'm not hungry," she said as she turned back into her pillow. "Just let me go back to sleep."

He sat the items down on her desk and walked towards the bed. Sitting down he placed a hand on her shoulder and tried to roll her over so that she was looking at him. When she resisted, he gave up and instead lay down beside her, pulling her back towards him.

"I can't do that. You slept until noon today and then turned down lunch with George and Nora. You came up here and went straight to bed. You haven't eaten all day."

"I'm not hungry. I told you, I just want to go back to sleep."

"Well, I told you that's not going to happen. You've got to eat something, so you might as well sit up and do it now."

She turned around to face him and he could see the anger in her eyes. "Just stop it Jordan. I don't need another parent okay. I have two at the moment, at least until I tell them what's happened. So quit telling me what I'm going to do and when I'm going to do it. I don't need another parent Jordan, I need a boyfriend."

He was shocked by her words and didn't understand where they were coming from. "I'm not treating you…"

"Yes you are," she snapped at him. "All morning long you were telling me what I was going to do. You told me I was old enough to make my own choices, but then you turned right around and told me what choices I was going to make."

He hadn't realized that he had sounded that way. He was just trying to get a point across to her. That they belonged together now, no matter what Derek said he wanted her to be with him. "That's not what I meant," he said as he tried to begin to reassure her.

"Well its how it sounded. Jordan, I don't want to be someone that you drag along with you just because I'm having your baby. I'd never deny you access to your child, but if that's the only reason you want me to go with you, then I'm staying here. I'd rather not be with you at all if I'm only with you out of pity," she said as the tears began to fall again.

"Come here baby," he said as he pulled her tightly to him. "I'm sorry if that's the way it sounded because that's not what I meant at all. If Derek says I have to leave then I do expect you to come with me. But I expect you to come with me because I hope that you love me as much as I love you."

She looked up at him and he could see the softening in her eyes. "I've wanted to tell you that almost since the beginning. But I didn't want to scare you away. I was afraid you'd go running if I told you how strong my feelings for you were."

"Really?" she asked hopefully.

"Absolutely," he said as he placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "Jenna, we were going to have to tell your parents about us anyway. And if they had reacted badly, I would have still wanted you to come with me even if you weren't pregnant. I can't imagine my life without you anymore."

She buried her face tightly into the crook of his neck. "I love you so much Jordan. I would pray that you would say it to me so that I could say it back. I was afraid that you'd think I was immature and needy if I said it first."

He pulled her away from him. "It would have been a great relief if you had said it. From now on, we say what we're feeling no matter what, okay?"

"Okay."

"Now, I know that you're not going to turn down Seseme Chicken because it's your absolute favorite food in the world, right?"

"Right," she said as she sat up and straightened her hair.

"Good," he said as he got up to go get the packages off the table.

When he was back on the bed he handed her the take out container and the gift bag.

"What this?" she asked questioningly.

"It's a surprise. Open it."

She smiled at him one more time and his heart skipped a beat to see a sparkle in her eyes. It was the first sign of the "real" Jenna he had seen in several days.

She pulled the tissue out and reached into the bag. When she pulled out the contents she saw that it was Giants jersey with Gage's number and Venturi on the back.

"Thank you," she said.

"I just thought that you'd want to wear it when we watched the game tomorrow. It was the smallest one they had and I know it's going to swallow you, but by the time he wins the Super Bowl at the end of January, you'll need some of that room for your belly."

She looked down at the jersey she was holding in her hands, staring intently at the name on the back. "He's going to kill us."

"Listen," he said as he lifted her chin up so that she was looking at him. "I booked a flight for New York this afternoon while you were sleeping. I'm leaving on Wednesday morning. We'll tell your parents on Monday and then I want to make sure how that's going to go before I leave you. But I need to fly to New York and tell Gage myself, face to face. He's my best friend in the world and he's going to be devastated to learn that I got his little sister pregnant. But I owe it to him to not just drop it on him over the phone or to have your dad tell him."

He saw the look of fear in her eyes as she asked, "What if he reacts the same way as he did when he found us together?"

"If he does, I'll probably get everything I deserve. But I'm not going to apologize for falling in love with you. And I'll never be sorry that you're having our baby. I can lose your parents and I can lose Gage, but I can't lose you. I just have to know that you're with me no matter what, and then we can handle the rest."

She threw her arms tightly around him and held him close. "I'll go anywhere with you, I promise. I love you so much Jordan. You can't even imagine how much."

"I love you too Bitsy. Now am I going to have to force feed you or are you going to sit up and eat?"

"I'm going to eat. I'm starving," she said as she smiled and opened the container. "I'm convinced that this is the food of the gods," she said as she pulled the chop sticks from the package. "Want a bite?" she asked as she held a piece of chicken out to him.

"Thanks," he said as he took it from her.

She sat there eating happily and Jordan was just content to watch her. Ever since she had told him about the baby, he couldn't quit picturing their life together. He couldn't really imagine her tiny little body carrying around a baby, but he was sure she would be the most adorable pregnant woman in the history of pregnant women.

And he wanted to marry her. He wanted to marry her as soon as he could. But he would never ask her until he had talked to Derek. No matter how badly he reacted, he wanted to ask Derek for permission to marry Jenna. He knew that it sounded old fashioned and quite ironic considering the position they were already in, but still he wanted to ask for her hand in marriage.

His mind was already in overdrive thinking about their life together. They'd move to New York this summer. That was if Derek and Casey let them stay after they found out. He wasn't sure that she would be able to do the internship so soon after the baby. But New York was the fashion capitol and what better place for her to go to university than in New York. Money would never be a problem for them and they would go on a search for the best nanny in New York City. He didn't want this to deter her from her dreams. He still wanted her to achieve every goal she had set for herself.

She had finished the chicken and now they were leaning up against her headboard, with her snuggled up close beside him.

"Thank you for the jersey. I am kind of sad that I'm not going to be there tomorrow."

"I know. But there will be other games. But you know you're going to have to trade that jersey in for another one next year."

"Why?" she asked as she lifted her head to look at him.

"Next fall you're going to need a Ranger's jersey with Hart on the back. And of course we'll need a tiny one for the baby. You'll be there to see me play in my first game and so will our baby. We'll get our first."

"Do you promise this is what you want? I meant what I said before, I would never deny you access to your child. We don't have to be together for you to be a wonderful father."

"Jenna, baby or no baby, this is what I want. I'm about to turn twenty-three. I've been out there and sown my wild oats. I've experienced a lot, but I've never experience anything like this until I came back here and found you. I want you and the baby is just like the icing on the cake. Okay, repeat after me, Jordan loves Jenna."

She smiled at him and repeated, "Jordan loves Jenna."

"Good. Now I think you still owe me a movie from last night. Are you ready?"

"I'm ready," she said.


I'm not positive, but I think the next chapter will be Citney (they'll all be back from New York in the next chapter) and then the next one the baby reveal. If not then I might combine the two.

After the reveal you will be seeing Dasey take front and center a lot more. I promise I haven't forgotten them. How could I, that's the reason we're all here!

Let me know what you think and I hope that you all have a wonderful Easter weekend!

P.S. Jenna makes a little OTH reference, actually it's something that Haley has said. Let me know what it is. Don't let me down Cath!
