Jess I'm leaving!" Damon yelled. "Yeah okay" she said anxiously.
Jeremy was going to be here any minute and she felt like a jumpy teenage waiting for her first date. Jessica scanned her snuggly fit jeans and her soft gray t-shirt. Perfect for a night at home.
The doorbell rang nosily. Jessica jumped to her feet and practically ran to the door. "Jeremy!" she squealed throwing her arms around his neck.
"Hey Jess I didn't realize you missed me that much" Jeremy teased. "I'm just so happy we're together again," Jessica said. In her heart Jessica hoped that they were forever but it was to soon to tell.
"Jessica you're the best thing that ever happened to me well except for Rachel. I want you to meet her," Jeremy said. Jessica smiled Jeremy talked about Rachel none stop it would be fun to see his daughter plus it meant she and Jeremy really were getting serious. "I'd like to meet her. She seems like such a sweet kid." Jessica said. "Oh your going to love her and she's got eyes the exact color of yours. If I hadn't been in the room when my ex-wife Kate delivered Rachel I would have thought she was yours" Jeremy said. For some reason Jessica wished Rachel was hers at least it would be a reason for them to be together forever. "Well come on in I rented some great movies and only 2 of them are chick flicks" Jessica said. Jeremy pretended to be shocked "What only 2 chick flicks. I must have heard wrong. No I'm sure I heard you say 2 someone call the presses it's a record" Jessica laughed. Sometimes sarcasm or teasing could set the mood.

Elizabeth sat on one of the couches in her family room. She and Connor
had put Melissa and Amanda to sleep hours ago and Connor was now
asleep. Elizabeth was worried. Megan hadn't come back yet. Elizabeth hadn't told Connor. Why worry him? He would take into his own hands saying she was pregnant and she shouldn't be worrying. One of the big wood doors opened and in floated Megan. Elizabeth and never seen Megan look so happy. "What happened?" Elizabeth asked. Megan let out a dreamy sight and plopped on
to the sofa. "Remember how you were teasing me about Jake being the perfect man for me? Well I have the strongest feeling he is. He asked me out today and after we got some divorce papers together we spent the whole day together. He's perfect and I think I'm falling in love with him. And he'd be a perfect dad for the baby" Megan said. Elizabeth smiled she loved seeing Megan so happy but something Megan had said caught her attention. Jake being the perfect dad. What about his real dad? "Megan what about Todd. It is going to be Todd's baby not Jake's so Todd will be a perfect step dad" Elizabeth reminded her gently. Megan considered this "Well hopefully it won't be like Connor and Gary" she said. Elizabeth thought back to senior year when Megan's father had moved in with
the McDermott's/Sandbournes. Connor and Gary had fought constantly. "I'm sure it wont. Besides you shouldn't worry about know the baby hasn't been born and things with Jake haven't blossomed yet" Elizabeth said. Megan leaned over and hugged her. "Thanks Liz you always know what to say" she said. Elizabeth hugged Megan back "Well you've been like a little sister to me ever since 12th grade" she said. Megan got up "Night Liz"
"Night Megan"

Tia hummed softly to herself. This trip was going to be so much fun. Just her and Will like back in college. So road trips were for college students. Tia could enjoy herself and act like a kid every now and then. There was a knock at her door. "Come in" she called cheerfully. "Hey Tee it's me" Will said opening the door. "Hey Will!" Tia said. "I've uh got
some news about the trip" Will said. Tia's spirit fell. "We're not going are we?" she said sadly. "No we're going but uh Melissa's coming with us" Will said.
Tia frowned. Melissa was not part of this trip. Sure Liss was her best
friend but she had wanted this trip to be just her and Will. "Why? Liss doesn't even like Jessica" Tia pointed out. "She just wants to see the city you know" will said imitating Melissa. "Whatever happens we have to kept Melissa away from Jessica. If she gets anywhere near her
Melissa will probably scratch her eyeballs out," Tia said finally sighing.
"Agreed believe me I don't want to go to Jessica's funeral while in New York" Will said. Will turned to leave "Wait!" Tia called. Will turned around "What?" "I just really wanted this to be just the two of us," she said. "So did I Tee so did I" and then Will turned and left.
