Chapter 4: Amber's Dream

Two months after the wedding, everything was going great for the newly wedded couple. However, Amber was realistic dreams again.

(Amber's Dream)

Amber was sitting in the room when a figure came in. "Hello, Amber," he greeted. Amber spun around, but she couldn't see the person's face.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I came to finish what I started," he replied.

Jay then came in. "Amber, Trudy wanted to talk to you," he informed. The figure turned to Jay and to Amber's horror, he held a gun up.

"A Techno," he snapped.

"NO!" Amber screamed.

The bullet went through Jay's heart and she ran over to him. "Jay, Jay, Jay answer me," she begged. She turned him over and held him in her arms.

"Amber," he whispered.

"Jay, hang in there, we'll get you some help."

"It's too late, Amber, it's too late."

"Jay don't die on me now, not when I need you. Especially now."

She held onto his hand and looked at him in tears. "I'm pregnant, Jay. You have to be here for this baby," she whispered. Jay coughed and blood fell from his mouth.

"I'm sorry, Amber. I love you," he whispered.

Amber held her husband's dead body while the person behind her placed his hands on her shoulders. "I'll take care of you, Amber. You and the children," the man told her. Amber ripped his hands off her shoulders and cradled Jay's body close to her.

"JAY!" Amber shouted. She shot up from bed and jumped when she felt his hands go on her shoulders. She spun around to see that it was Jay.

"Amber, its okay, it's me," he assured her.

"Jay?" She asked.

"Yeah."

She hugged him tight and sighed in relief. "You had another nightmare," he murmured. She took a deep breathe before pulling away.

"It's always the same thing. A figure comes into our room as soon as he saw you, he shot you and you died in my arms," she explained.

He held her to him and sighed. This wasn't the first time she had this dream. This was the first time she ever told him what it was.

The next morning, Amber looked to her side to find Jay gone. All of a sudden, it hit her and it hit her hard. She was able to reach the wastebasket before throwing up. Jay came into the room to see his wife throwing up. He walked over and rubbed her back. Once she was done, she leaned back into his arms and wiped her mouth. "You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," she replied.

"I'm going to find you a pregnancy test."

He got up and placed her on the bed before leaving again.

When he came back, he handed her the test and watched her leave to take it.

About fifteen minutes later, she came out with a straight face. He stood up and walked over to her. "Well?" He asked. Then a smile came upon her face.

"It's positive," she announced.

Jay smiled and pulled her into a hug. He was going to be a father. His true firstborn, even though he loved Bray like his true son and he was going to keep it that way until Bray was old enough to understand.

That evening, they went to announce her pregnancy.

As everyone sat down for dinner, they watched as Amber came into the room beaming and Jay was walking behind her with his smile just as big. "What's going on?" Lex asked.

"Everyone, we have announcement to make," Jay started.

Everyone looked at them. "We're having a baby," Amber announced. They stood up to congratulate them.

"This is wonderful, you both deserve it," Trudy told them.

"Thank you, Trudy," Amber murmured as she hugged her.

Trudy hugged her back and smiled at Jay. "Just make sure to take care of her," she instructed. Jay nodded and then he wrapped his arm around Amber's waist before they sat down to enjoy their dinner.

That night, Amber found Jay trying to get Bray back to sleep. "Well, you better get used to this, Jay, this little one is going to give us the same problem," she informed. Jay sighed as he put Bray back into his crib. He sat next to Amber and watched as the boy fell asleep.

"That's not a bad idea," he yawned.

Amber smiled and she lied down next to him. He wrapped his arms around her and placed a kiss on the top of her head. "I love you, Amber," he whispered. She sighed as she snuggled up to him.

"I love you too, Jay," she answered.

He placed a hand on her stomach as Amber fell asleep. He was still in total disbelief that a living being that he helped make was growing inside of her and it amazed him. This was his and Amber's child. Their flesh and blood. Nothing could take this moment away from them. Jay placed another kiss on her forehead before closing his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
