-1I know it's been forever! I'm so, so sorry! I will be finishing this story up in the next few chapters, but there is definitely going to be a sequel.

Punishment and Life

"Deavon is guilty with a sentence of twenty-five years to life. On the possibility of his release at the end of the twenty-five years there is a strict ten year parole. A restraining order is put in place for Rebecca starting now until Deavon's death. He cannot be within a thousand feet of Rebecca. Also if he is released a list of Rebecca's friends, family, a co-workers will be compiled so there can be a restraining order for them against Deavon. Just in case his is revengeful. It will imply he cannot come with in a hundred feet of the said persons. This case is closed." Judge Jayson said.

"No! This isn't over!" Deavon yelled as he was pulled out of the room by three police officers.

I had some chills run over me but I shoved them away and smiled as I turned towards Jesse. "It's over." I said, with a grateful sigh.

"Yes it is and now we can move on with our lives. We can finish planning the wedding and live happily ever after." Jesse said, pulling me close to him.

"I like the sound of that." I said, leaning in to kiss him, but before our lips could meet my phone went off. "Hold that thought." I said, with a smile to Jesse and answered my phone.

"Becca?!" Raviv said out of breath.

"Raviv, what's the matter?" I said.

"Aly's water broke! And we are going to the hospital now!" Raviv said. I heard horns honking in the background.

"We will meet you there! Hang up the phone and concentrate on getting Aly there safely." I said, shutting my phone. "Come on! We have to hurry!" I said, pulling Jesse by the hand.

"Becca, the press!" Jesse said.

"We will have to push through them." I said, opening the court house doors. I sighed when I saw the swarm of press.

"Did you win?" "Is Deavon in prison?" "Why are you in such a rush?" All these and many more questions came at once.

"Yes we won. Talk to my lawyer about Deavon's sentence. And Alyson Michalka is having her baby." I said, shoving through the crowd.

"What room is Alyson Michalka or I guess Ullman in?" I said, running up to the first desk.

"Well they are waiting for her to dilate enough in room 472. But I'm not supposed to let anybody in." The nurse said.

"I'm her best friend, Rebecca Engfer, and Raviv's best friend is Jesse McCartney. I'm sure Aly would have left a list of people allowed." I said.

"Well I have something saying 'Family Only'. There's a list of names here. Ah yes, you are on here. The elevator is to the left go up to level four to the childbirth center." She said, pointing the way.

"Thanks!" I said, running off.

"Becca, slow down!" Jesse said, trying to catch up with me as I ran from room to room.

"But she is having the baby, Jesse." I said, stopping to catch my breath.

"Yes, and they are having to wait for her to dilate enough to have the baby. We still have time." Jesse said.

"Ok. Mr. Calm, why don't you lead the way." I said, with an attitude.

"Oh, come on babe, don't be like that." Jesse said, with a sigh. "Her room should be towards the end of the hall."

"Ugh, Jesse wait. I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just…" I said, grabbing his hand.

"I know. We both need to relax. We don't need to stress out Aly anymore. We can talk when we get home." Jesse said, kissing my forehead. "There is the room." Jesse said.

"Hey, Aly." I said, with a smile. Shaking off the feelings of frustration from my little tiff with Jesse.

"Becca! How did it go? You won, right?" Aly asked.

"Of course! I will explain it to you later. You need to concentrate on having that baby." I said.

"Yes ma'am." Aly said, with a smile. Suddenly she grimaced and groaned. "Time?" Aly said, looking at Raviv.

"24.5 minutes. That's only like 3 minutes closer." Raviv said.

"This is taking forever." Aly said.

"Well did you think it was going to be quick and painless?" AJ joked.

"I had hoped so." Aly retorted.

"Well let's make the time go faster. Have you two decided on any for sure names?" I asked.

"Well we went half and half. Jesiah if it's a boy and Aleena for a girl." Raviv said.

"And I, we, made a decision, for the baby's godparents. Becca and Jesse would you mind?" Aly said.

AJ's face showed a hint of disappointment. "AJ, it's not like you aren't going to have a part in this family. We just wanted to be sure that our child has a family they can go to if something happened." Raviv said, slowly.

"I know. I already get to be an aunt. I was just being a little selfish." AJ said.

"Aly, Raviv, we would be honored to be your child's godparents." Jesse said.

Aly groaned and held back a scream. "That one was worse. Time?" Aly said.

"15.8 minutes. I'll go get the nurse. That's a lot closer." Raviv said.

"Okay. Aly, it's about time. Concentrate on your breathing." AJ said.

I couldn't even imagine what kind of pain Aly had to go through but several hours later a precious baby boy was brought into this world. I would say wonderful world but after what happened to me…I just can't see it that way. I know you shouldn't dwell on the bad times, because you will miss the good. But I after being hurt the way I was, I didn't want Aly to bring a child into this terrible world. It's so unsafe. But with each child born there is hope to a brighter happier world, and I know that Jesiah Liam Ullman will change the world.

I know it's not much, but the next one will be better. Once again I am going to finish this story up, but there will most definitely be a sequel.
