This fic will now mainly be about Jay, Emma, Alexander and when Emma and Jay's child is born, he/she will be one of the main characters. I will still involve Manny, Craig, Elizabeth, Sean, Ellie and Sean and Ellie's future child. I have no clue when or how I will end this. Any ideas? I don't think anyone else will die. Just so you know. Maybe, conflicts with J.T. will arise? I already know what Emma is having and the baby's name. I also, knowwhat Ellie is having, and the name. I'll tell you the sexes in no particular order, someone will have a girl and the other will have a boy. :)You'll notice I'm going kinda fast in this chapter because I want Emma to have the baby.

Dry Your Eyes

June 7, 2007

Emma opened the front door of their house and walked in. Jay followed behind with the car seat that held baby Alex. Within 6 days everyone had helped turn the old den that was used for storage into a second nursery for Alex. The basement was now a study and held all extra storage. Emma's old room had already been turned into a nursery a few months after her and Jay found out she was pregnant.

Jay put the car seat on to the table and unbuckled the baby. He carefully took him out, "Look, Alex, this is your new home."

Emma smiled at them. She couldn't believe that Alex had wanted them to take the baby if anything happened to her. She figured it was because of Alex and Jay's history with each other. They both went through so much in their childhood. Emma walked over to Jay and baby Alex, "Jay, maybe we should call him Al or something. Calling him Alex so soon is just a little weird..."

"I know, Em. But, he is named after her. Plus, Al sounds like an old guy's name or something."

"I guess you're right. What about this baby?" She patter her stomach, "What are we going to call him?"

"How about something with your parents names?"

"Shayne Archie Hogart?"

"Hmm...I like it if you like it."

Emma thought for a minute. She liked the idea of having her biological's father name for her child's name. Ever since he died last year, she hadn't really thought about him. Only because she didn't really have that many memories of him and because Snake was more like her dad than anyone.

"How about Shayne Michael? Or Shayne Jason?"

"Or, Jason Shayne?"

"That works. I like that. But we are not calling him Jay until he's 15! Jay is too much of a bad boy name." She smiled at him.

"Funny, Em. Trying to imply something?" He put his other arm around her and kept his other securely around baby Alex.

"Now what would I imply?"

They kissed and walked up the stairs to put a sleeping in Alex into his new crib.

June 16, 2007

Jay woke up to a crying baby. He looked at his alarm clock and it glowed, 3:18 A.M. He got up and wondered why Emma hadn't woken up yet. He glanced over at her, sound asleep on the bed.

"That woman can sleep though anything." He quietly said to himself.

He walked out of their room and over to Alex's.

"What's going on big guy? What's with all this crying, huh?" Jay carefully picked him up and made his way downstairs. He got a bottle ready, with Alex still in his hands. Then, walked over to the changing table that was in the living room. He laid Alex on it, and put the bottle down.

"Do you need a diaper? Let's change you before you eat."

Jay changed his diaper then walked back upstairs. They sat down in the rocking chair. Jay gave him his bottle.

"There you go. You must be hungry." Jay looked down at his son. No matter what, Jay would consider Alex his son. He knew he was J.T.'s but Jay figured it didn't matter. Emma and him had custody. It was Alex's last requeset.

Jay burped baby Alex and put him back in his crib. Sound asleep. He walked back to him and Emma's room and fell back to sleep.

June 23, 2007 - A little bit before Ellie and Sean's wedding.

"Ellie! Come on! We have to leave!" Emma yelled up the stairs to her friend. It was almost 11:45 and they were suppose to be at the church at noon.

Ellie walked down the stairs, she was wearing a light blue spaghetti strap, floor length dress. Her hair was up in a bun with little curls coming out and two carefully placed on sides of her face. She had Baby Breathe stuck through the bun. She looked elegant, but casual. Which is what she was going for.

"Manny! Come see, Ellie! She looks amazing."

Manny came running out and looked at Ellie. "Oh my god, Ellie. You look great!"

"You sure guys? I look like I'm going to prom, not my wedding."

Emma walked over to her and fixed a stray hair, "Ellie, it's not like it's a big wedding. I didn't wear anything fancy to my wedding, neither did Manny. My mom didn't either. You don't have to wear a big white dress with a long flowing veil. It's not about that. It's about you and Sean confessing your love to each other in front of everyone you both care about."

"You're right, Em. I'm just nervous. I never thought I would be pregnant at my wedding." Ellie smiled a little. It felt good to joke around, it made her less nervous.

June 23, 2007 - Ellie and Sean's wedding day.

Ellie peeked out from behind the curtain. Her parents had rented almost an entire country club. She standing in the little room that was set up for the all the girls. It was pretty much a gazebo with curtains touching the floor. It was nice, though. Very private. The wedding would be held outside. She looked up to the "alter" which was just a small archway with wild flowers covering every inch of it. She saw Sean, and her heart danced.

"Ellie?" Ellie turned around to see Manny, "You ready?"

Ellie sighed, "Of course." She grabbed her flowers and walked out.

Ellie was walking down the aisle with her father. She couldn't believe this was happening. They finally made it to Sean. Her father kissed her forehead and quickly hugged Sean. Then, the Justice of the Peace began the ceremony.

10 minutes later...

"You may kiss the bride!"

Ellie and Sean kissed passionately. Sean whispered "I love you" and Ellie whispered it back.

Everyone walked in to the country club for dinner, music, drinks and dancing. Ellie was dancing with Jay. Manny was with Craig. Emma was dancing with Jay. Elizabeth was dancing with Jack (Emma's brother) and Emma's mom was holding baby Alex while talking to Ellie's mom.

Ellie glanced around at all off her friends and family. She couldn't believe how close everyone had become. The people that others would consider friends, she now considered family. Everyone was just a big extended family. She loved it. She couldn't wait to bring a child into this 'family'.

July 17, 2007

Emma sat on the couch with Alex in her arms. She couldn't believe how big he was getting. He was now 1 month and 17 days. Pretty soon there will be two little baby's in the house. Emma knew it would be hard, but she couldn't wait. It was hard for her to get around with Alex because of how big her belly was getting. She heard a knock on the door and slowly got up with Alex still in her arms. She opened the door and there stood Manny holding Elizabeth and Ellie with a semi showing pregnant belly.

Manny smiled, "Hey, Em. What's going on?" All 3 walked in. Ellie took Alex from Emma.

"Wow, he looks so much like Alex. I know I say that every time, but he does. It's weird, but he looks like you and Jay, too."

Emma smiled, she could see it to, "Probably because J.T. was blonde when he was kid. Alex and Jay always looked alike. Almost like brother and sister."

"Aunnie Emma, can I have drink?" Elizabeth bounced around at Emma's feet.

"Of course. Apple or Orange?"

"Apele!"

Emma walked to the cabinet and grabbed a baby cup for Elizabeth. Emma had bought some for her a while ago because she was always over there. She walked over to the fridge and poured her some 'apele' juice.

"Here you go, Lizzie," Emma handed her the cup.

"Thank you Aunnie Emma!"

It was a few hours since Manny, Ellie and Elizabeth showed up. Elizabeth was sleeping on the floor and Alex was asleep in his crib. Manny was sitting on the couch and Emma and Ellie was reclined on the recliner chairs.

"Did you guys ever think that we would all be married, best friends and have kids?" Manny laughed a little.

"Actually, no. I figured you and me," Emma looked at Manny, "would be someday be like how we are now. Just not so soon and I never thought I would be married to Jay Hogart."

Ellie and Manny laughed, "I never thought I would be friends with either of you. I figured I would have kids eventually. When I was like 25. Sometimes, things just happen for a reason. When I first met Alex and Jay, I thought they would be together forever. Then, everything happened," Emma looked down at her feet, "and I never saw Jay happier as he was when he was, well is, with you, Em. I'm kinda glad everything worked out this way." Ellie looked at Emma and smiled.

"Thanks, El. Everything that has happened in the past like, what 3 years? Seems so unreal. Manny, you're married, with an almost 2 ½ yr. old. Ellie, you're married, with a baby on the way. And me? I'm married with a baby that is my husband's ex-girlfriends and another one on the way."

"Yeah, but it's like Ellie said sometimes things happen for a reason," Manny smiled at Emma.

August 21, 2007 (Yeah, I'm skipping a lot but this is how I wanted to end this chapter..)

Jay was playing with baby Alex in the nursery when he heard Emma yell up to him.

"Jay! It's time!"

Jay gently grabbed Alex and ran to his and Emma's room. He picked up the two bags that Emma had packed for her and the future Hogart baby. He walked down the stairs and put the bags down. Emma was already on the phone with her doctor. Jay put Alex in his car seat and grabbed the bags. He ran to the car quickly and put the bags in the trunk. Then he ran back in and picked up the car seat.

"The doctor said to come right in. There's a room waiting." Emma held on to stomach. They walked to the car as quickly as possible.

When they got there, Ellie and Manny were already waiting.

"Craig and Sean will be here as soon as they close up the shop." Ellie looked at Emma who was sitting in a wheel chair.

"Yeah, Elizabeth is at Joey's and your mom is on her way to pick up Alex."

Emma noticed her friends were talking so fast, "Maybe you guys are the ones that should breathe. I know the drill, guys. Relax. Remember, we planned everything a month ago." Emma laughed at her two best friends.

Ellie and Manny looked at each other and started laughing. Then, Emma's doctor, walked over to them.

"How are you doing, Emma? Ready to go in the room?"

"Definitely!"

August 22, 2007 2:30 A.M.

"Come on, Emma! Push!" Jay held on to Emma's hand.

"Why don't you try to push something the size of a watermelon out of your dick!" Emma squeezed Jay's hand as she pushed her last push. They could hear the baby crying.

"Mrs. and Mr. Hogart you have a beautiful baby..."
