It's Jenna/Chloe, Dasey and Citney. Enjoy! Also please read the note at the end concerning Jitsy.

Jenna had spent most of the night looking at her hand. She still couldn't believe that he had actually proposed. And then to receive such a ring was just almost more than she could comprehend. She had to admit that when Jordan had left to get in the shower she had immediately got on the Tiffany's website and had been shocked to see how much he had spent. He had also told her that he had bought them matching wedding bands too and she was truly in awe. It really seemed like things were going to work out and she was finally starting to feel a small sense of peace about the whole thing.

But today was the first test of that. She was about to pull up in the Rippel's driveway to pick Chloe up for their day at the spa. She looked down at her hand on the steering wheel and smiled as the huge diamond caught the sunlight and glittered brightly. She was hoping that Chloe would notice it and it would be a way to break the ice and get into the actual conversation. She knew Chloe would be shocked, but they had been together since they were in diapers and she knew that she'd support her. They had always had each other's backs and she truly felt like that would never change.

Jenna pulled up in the driveway and killed the car. Chloe's house was nothing special. It was a small older home in one of the historic parts of London. It didn't begin to compare to the house she grew up in or the one that Cam and Addie lived in for that matter, but Jenna loved it just the same. Emily was a pre-school teacher and Ralph owned his own sound studio and also rented sound equipment and did local parties in the area. They didn't live lavishly by any means but still she had always loved coming here. It really was like a home away from home for her.

Getting out of the car, she walked up the steps and knocked before opening the door and walking in. She saw Ralph sitting in the recliner watching VH1, while Emily was busy dusting the book shelf.

Ralph looked up and smiled at Jenna. "Well if it isn't the birthday girl, plus a day. So how does it feel to be the big one-eight?"

Jenna shrugged her shoulders and smiled back. "Well, I hate to admit it, but it feels a whole lot like seventeen."

Emily walked over and gave her a hug. "Well I hope you had a great birthday. Chloe was just down her talking ninety to nothing about the spa you're going to today. She ran back up to get her purse, but she should be down any minute."

And as if on cue, Chloe came bounding down the steps. "Oh my gosh Jenna," she began immediately. "I am so excited. I can't believe we're going and getting the full works. Your dad is amazing."

Jenna just laughed and nodded. "I know, it's going to be a blast. Now we better get going or we'll be late."

The two girls linked arms and walked down the front porch steps, laughing and talking excitedly.

Once they were in the car, Chloe fastened her seat belt and turn to Jenna. "So did you get any good gifts last night? I bet you made a haul!"

Jenna shrugged her shoulders as she fastened her seatbelt. "I got a new purse from Whitney and Cam and I had already gotten the jewelry from Gage. Mom and Dad are taking me car shopping this week."

Chloe gave her a very confused look. "Why are you going car shopping? This car's almost brand new and you begged your dad for months to get you a two-seat convertible. He didn't think it was safe or practical and it took you months to convince him to do it."

Jenna took a deep breath. "I know and I love this car, but he was right. I wouldn't feel safe in it in a few months and it definitely won't be practical anymore."

"What are you talking about?" she asked, still highly confused.

"Maybe this will help explain it," Jenna said as she held out her left hand.

Chloe's eyes grew big and she couldn't believe it. "Where did you get that? Did your parents give it to you? It almost looks like an engagement ring."

"It is an engagement ring," Jenna said.

Chloe gave her a funny look. "Why did your parents buy you an engagement ring?"

"They didn't buy it."

"Then who did?" Chloe asked, still clearly confused.

"Jordan did," Jenna simply replied.

"Wait, Jordan Hart bought you an engagement ring?" Chloe asked. Suddenly she felt like she was playing twenty questions and she was no where near close to finding out the answer to the puzzle.

Jenna nodded her head yes and Chloe shook her head no.

"Why did…" and then Chloe stopped and then tried to start again, "When did…How did…," and then she finally just gave up and looked at Jenna expectantly.

"Because we're in love and he wants to marry me and I'm having his baby," Jenna said as she rushed her words together in nervousness.

Chloe shook her head once again, this time as if trying to clear her ears because she was sure that she had just heard wrong. "Did you just say you're having his baby?" she asked, though clearly she didn't believe what she had just repeated.

Jenna nodded her head yes once again. "We've been together almost since he came back. And well, we slept together for the first time the day Meagan showed up at school to take over for Mrs. Phillips. I was really upset that she was back and one thing led to another and well," she said as she laid her hands on her flat stomach, "we got this."

Chloe shook her head once again. "How can you just sit there and be so calm about this? I mean, I'm sorry but this is a lot to digest. I had no idea you and Jordan were even together and now you're telling me that not only are you together, but you also have an engagement ring and a baby to show for it."

"That's about it in a nutshell," Jenna replied.

"Are you crazy?" Chloe asked.

"What do you mean?" Jenna asked. Now it was her turn to be clueless.

"Does it not even worry you the least bit that you're barely eighteen and you're about to be married and have a baby all before you graduate?"

"No," she said innocently. "I was really freaked about it at first, but Jordan's been totally amazing. And I won't be having the baby until a couple of weeks after graduation. Besides, my parents did it, so there's no reason that Jordan and I can't do it too."

Chloe rolled her eyes and threw her head back. "You're forgetting a few things here. Your mom wasn't the daughter of a famous hockey legend and your dad wasn't anyone special yet. I'm sorry Jenna, but your situation is a lot different from your parents."

A hurt look crossed Jenna's face. "I thought you of all people would be happy for me. You know what Jordan has always meant to me."

"It's not that I'm not happy for you, but I'm just floored. I'm not sure there's another thing in this world that could have shocked me more. I'm your best friend and you didn't even tell me you were together. And now you spring it on me that not only are you together, but your engaged and expecting a baby. Don't you think that's quite a big to digest in one sitting?"

"You're right and I'm sorry. But we were keeping it quiet until we told my daddy, and then we found out about the baby, so basically my parents got the same shock you just did."

"Wow! I can't believe Jordan's still walking," she said and she wasn't joking. She was really surprised that Derek hadn't killed him.

"Well, it wasn't pretty to say the least. But he's warmed to the idea slightly, though I must say that Gage hasn't. Jordan flew to New York to tell him personally and he said he never wanted to see Jordan's face again. He said he won't come to the wedding and watch me ruin my life."

Chloe saw the tears welling in Jenna's eyes and she felt for her best friend. She knew what Gage meant to her and to Jordan too for that matter, so it must be incredibly difficult to know that he had reacted in such a way.

"I bet he'll come around eventually. He listens to everything your dad says, has he tried to talk to him yet?" she asked, trying to find some way to comfort her friend.

Jenna shook her head yes. "Daddy talked to him for over an hour, but it didn't do any good at all. Jordan and Daddy both said they've never seen him this way before."

"I don't know what to say," Chloe said. "But maybe he'll come around before the wedding." And then it dawned on her, "When exactly is the wedding?"

"Two weeks from today. We're just going to get married in the back yard and then have a reception there. Of course it's going to be very small, just our family, Jordan's mom, your family and the Shepherds."

Chloe nodded. "It'll be beautiful though. Your back yard is nicer than most parks or gardens in the area."

"I know and Mom is having folding chairs and a lot of other stuff brought in, so it should be really nice."

"What are you going to do for a wedding dress?"

Jenna's eyes lit up at the thought. "We're flying to New York Friday night and we're going to spend the next day shopping. And of course you and Whitney are going to be bride's maids so you'll need dresses. I guess you'll just have to come to New York with me."

"You're kidding?" Chloe said wide eyed.

Jenna shook her head no and grinned. "Plus, Gage plays at home that weekend so we're going to his game on Sunday. It's going to be amazing."

Chloe's smile covered her entire face. "I thought Bella Spa was going to be amazing, but I'm going to New York City? My God Jenna, I hope that's all the surprises you have for one day, because I don't know how much more my heart can take."

"That's all I know of. Now, are we ready for a day of posh pampering?"

"What kind of question is that? Hit the road," she said with a big smile still plastered on her face.

Derek walked outside to find Casey frantically sketching and writing away in her notebook. He walked up behind her and snaked his arms around her waist, his hands resting on the tiny bump in her stomach.

He placed a quick kiss on her cheek before his chin came to rest on her shoulder. "I thought I told you that I better not catch you stressing one time about this wedding and I'm pretty sure that I don't even have to take your blood pressure to know that it's probably sky high at the moment," he chastised.

She turned her head slightly so that she could look at him. "You have no idea how I feel. I could be standing here having the most peaceful Zen moment in the world for all you know."

"I don't think Zen moments include furiously scribbling all over a notebook while you look frantically around the back yard."

Casey turned until she was facing him and sat her pen and notebook down on the table beside them. "Well, you try planning every detail of a wedding in the time span of two weeks, while taking the only full weekend you have during that time and flying out of the country."

"I told you, there are people that are paid to do this stuff. Let's just call a wedding planner and be done with it."

"I don't want to call a wedding planner. I want to do it myself."

Derek shook his head in understanding. "After twenty-five years of knowing you, I totally understand your need to be in charge of and in control of everything, but you've never had to do this while pregnant. You could at least get Kendra and Emily to help you. They'll eat this stuff up."

Casey's eyes grew wide as she began to shake her head no. "I am not asking Kendra to help. I can only imagine what kind of three ring circus we'd end up with. Kendra's motto should be, 'if a little is good then a lot must be better'. We'd have the most outrageous, over the top production you've ever seen. No, I'll do fine on mine own. It'll be bad enough when I have to do a wedding with her for Whit and Cam."

Derek raised one eyebrow and cocked is head to the side. "Who says they'll get married? She's fifteen years old and they could break up tomorrow. There will be no more weddings in this house for at least ten…"

Casey crossed her arms and raised her eyes brows as if to say, 'dream on'.

Derek took the look into consideration before he continued, "well at least seven years. I hope she at least has enough sense to finish college first. And I'm serious, who says she'll marry Cam. He'll be going off to college or slaving away in the minor's next year and they could just drift apart."

"Derek, those two are meant for each other. I'm sure they'll have their little tiffs and they may even break up at some point, but you can take this to the bank, they'll end up together. And just think, you and Sam will finally be related. You'll share grandchildren and…"

"Whoa! Stop right there, don't go any further. I haven't even come to grips with one grandkid yet. Please don't make me picture my baby with babies too. Just the mere thought of it makes my blood pressure go through the roof."

"Alright, we'll drop the subject for now because I've got a real wedding on my hands at the moment and Jenna's not a lot of help."

Derek's expression turned serious. "That's because it's all fun and games to Jenna right now and she still hasn't come to grips with reality. It's going to be tough Casey and she's clueless about it. And when it happens, it's going to come down on her like a ton of bricks and there's not going to be one thing we can do to stop it. I thought protecting them when they were little was the tough part. But this grown up kids thing is even worse. Those two are so caught up in their own little world and I know at some point it's going to come crashing in on them and I just hope that it won't destroy them in the process."

Casey wrapped her arms around Derek's waist and laid her head on his chest. "We'll just have to try and be there when it happens and help them the best we can."

Derek rested his cheek on the top her of head and sighed. "You know, I've always tried to fix everything for them, to do whatever it took for them to be happy and it's a very sickening thought that as her dad, I can't fix this. There's not one thing I can do."

"We can do one thing," she said as she looked up at him. "We can love them and do everything in our power to make the best out of a bad situation."

"I know your right, but it doesn't make it any easier."

The waitress sat down their food and asked if there was anything else she could get them. When they told her no thanks, she nodded her head and left to tend to other customers.

"Thank God," Cameron said as she took a huge bite out of his hamburger, "food I can pronounce and it doesn't even have any thick weird sauce covering it."

"It wasn't that bad," Whitney responded as she poured a small amount of dressing on her salad. "If you had paid attention in French, you would have known what to order."

"I don't care if I could have read the whole menu; there wasn't anything worth eating on there. I went through the Taco Hut on my way home, now that's real food."

"No, that's just disgusting. Can't you eat something for once that's not swimming in grease?"

"I do! Every time I come to your house, I have too. And then when I leave, I go through some drive through and get real food."

"What we eat at our house is real food. My dad likes it."

"No, you're dad has come to terms with it. You give him the option of baked fish and broccoli or a burger and fries from Smelly Nelly's," he said as he held his hamburger out to her, "and he'll pick this every time."

Whitney wrinkled her nose at the hamburger and shook her head knowing that it was useless. "Just forget it; it's not worth arguing about. I've got much more important news and I can't believe I forgot to say something until now."

"What?" he asked grinning. He loved to watch her when she was all excited. Her eyes would sparkle and her cheeks would flush. Heck, who was he kidding, he just loved to watch her period.

"We're going back to New York this weekend. We're leaving on Friday and we're shopping all day Saturday for wedding and bride's maid dresses and then we're going to Gage's game on Sunday."

Cam rolled his eyes. "Thanks for rubbing it in. It might be exciting for you, but it just means that I once again get stuck here by myself in wonderful London, while you're off in New York."

"Did you not hear the we're part?" she asked.

"Yeah, your family's going back to New York," he said shaking his head at her in annoyance.

"No, I said we're going to New York. You're coming with us. If you tell her I said this, I won't kiss you for a week, but Daddy said I could bring Addie and I begged him to let you come instead. We're staying at a hotel because Jordan's coming and I don't think Gage would let him in his front door. So Mom and Dad will have a room, you and Jordan can share one and Jenna, Chloe and I will too. That way, while Daddy's with Gage and we're shopping, you can keep Jordan company."

"You're kidding, I get to come to New York with you?" he asked, still not believing his ears.

She nodded her head, that huge smile once again covering her face. "Daddy rented a box at the stadium and it'll be VIP treatment the whole way around. Doesn't that sound like fun?"

He was basically speechless. Cameron had never wanted for anything in his life. His dad was a successful lawyer and his mom had her own decorating firm and they had more than enough money, but the Venturi's were on a different level from anyone else in London. He knew how the Venturi's lived, he'd been around them his whole life and had even been on the receiving end of some of the perks, but this was truly amazing.

"So let me get this straight, I get to fly first class to spend the weekend at a five star hotel in New York and I get to watch a game at Giants Stadium from a VIP box. There's got to be some catch. I don't have to go shopping all day with you and carry your bags do I?" he asked teasingly.

She leaned across the table towards him, cocking her head as that very recognizable Venturi smirk graced her lips. "No, but you would if I asked you too, wouldn't you?"

He placed the hamburger that he had still been holding down and quickly wiped his hands on a napkin. He then put one hand on the side of her face to cup her cheek and with the other hand he brought his index finger up to his lips and made a ssh-ing noise. "Not so loud, I've got a rep to protect you know."

She smiled once again and with a wink she replied, "Alright, your secret's safe with me. But just between the two of us, you would, wouldn't you."

He closed the distance between them, bringing his lips to hers. When he finally pulled away he whispered, "I think you know that answer."

Some of you have expressed your concern that everything's going too easy for Jitsy. Just keep listening to Derek, he knows what he's talking about. They're going to have a rough road ahead, though their love for one another will never be in question. But still they're going to get hit with a lot and there will be a lot to deal with. If you know anything about me at all, you know I'm the resident drama queen; so don't worry, there's still a lot of story to tell!
