Chapter 14

Captured By A Moment's Grace….Again

Disclaimer: Ugh…why do I waist my time…

So, that was fun...Fighting with my wife to make her believe that I didn't mean to hurt her…Fortunately, I was able to dig myself out of that whole with out too much crying…okay, so that last part was a lie, but who's counting?

Anyway, After about a week, Jude got better, And she was doing great. Not much took place over that month…Just a lot of writing, and occasionally a fight because of her hormones…Let me tell you, dealing with a pregnant 19 year old…God, that was dramatic…But hey, when we were down, we just had to remember that we had a baby to live for…

Jude sat down next to Tommy in the studio, and placed her notebook in front of him.

"What's this?"

"Something I wrote after you left this morning…."

"You wanna lay it down?"

"Sure…"(Okay, so normally I wouldn't use Britney Spears music, because I don't much care for her anymore, but this song just goes with the angle I was going for…)

Jude walked into the studio, and pulled on her headphones waiting for Tommy to let her start.

"Someday (I Will Understand)"

"Nothing seems to be the way
That it used to
Everything seems shallow
God give me truth
In me
And tell me somebody is watching
Over me
And that is all I'm praying is that

Someday I will understand
In God's whole plan
And what he's done to me
Oh but maybe
Someday I will breathe
And I'll finally see
I'll see it all in my baby

Don't you run too fast my dear
Why don't you stop?
Just stop and listen to your tears
They're all you've got
It's in you
You see somebody is watching
Over you
And that is all I'm praying is that

Someday you will understand
In God's whole plan
And what he does to you
Oh but maybe
Someday you will breathe
And you'll finally see
You'll see it all in your baby
You'll see it all in your baby

No moment
Will be more true
Than the moment
I look at you

It's in you
You see somebody is watching
Over you
And that is all I'm praying is that

Someday you will understand
In God's whole plan
And what he does to you
Oh but maybe
Someday you will breathe
And you'll finally see
You'll see it all in your baby
You'll see it all in your baby
You'll see it all in your baby
You'll see it all in your baby"

Tommy smiled proudly at Jude as she finished up the song. She hadn't realized, but he had, that she'd had her hand lain over her stomach as she sang. She opened her eyes, and looked up at Tommy for approval.

"I, personally loved it…" Darius stood at the door, and nodded in approval.

"I just came to get the demo…I wasn't expecting this…."

"Yeah, sorry I didn't get that to you earlier…didn't exactly get the chance…"

"No…its fine….Look I know you guys aren't going out on tour this year, but what would you think of doing a dual album…"

"Like Tommy and Jude greatest hits?"

"Yeah, we put them on 2 albums, and you two do a cover album shoot together…"

"I love the idea…." Tommy and Darius looked at Jude, who nodded.

"I think it's a great idea, too…it would sell really well…"

"Great, you two get me a list of songs, we'll have it packaged, and then throw in a few bonus tracks of stuff that hasn't been released…"

"Like the original of 'Anyone But U?" Jude asked hopeful.

"Uh, sorry girl…no…" Darius smiled and walked out.

"I figured I'd give it a shot…"

Tommy chuckled, and kissed his wife. "So when's that appointment?"

"Uh…in like 45 minutes…"

"Then we better be going….You go out to the car, I shut everything down in here…"

She nodded and grabbed her things before walking out.

Tommy closed up everything and then walked out.

Jude and Tommy sat in the doctor's office, waiting for him to return. "You actually ready for this?"


"It's your first ultrasound…I'm psyched!...But honestly, I'm scared to death…"

She smiled.

"Little Tommy Q is scared?" She let out a laugh. Tommy placed a hand over her stomach, where she'd began to show a little bit. "This….is all ours…"

He smiled and kissed her, as the doctor walked back in with the machine.

"Are we ready to go?"

"Yep…"

The doctor got everything set, up, and Tommy moved to the other side of the bed, as Jude held his hand, using pillows, and her elbows to prop herself up, trying to see her baby. (she's 3.5 months along…I know I jumped a little…I really want to get to the next chapter!)

"The baby looks great…Strong heartbeat...In about a month or so, I'll be able to tell you the sex of him or her…"

Dr. Chandler, her OB/GYN looked at the two of them after finishing up.

"Are there any questions that you two have?"

"Well…a little while ago…when Jude was about a month along, she got pretty sick… she was running a temp of about 103, and slept most of that week…I mean, she got better…It just scared me."

"Back then, it shouldn't have done anything to affect the baby, but if it happens now, or throughout the rest of your pregnancy, you need to be hospitalized…Because then it could affect your baby…Okay?"

Jude nodded nervously, and Tommy held her close to him. "Don't worry…we'll keep you healthy as a bug…"

She smiled, snuggling her head into his chest.

"Is that all for today?"

"yeah…"

"Great…why don't you two schedule your next appointment for a month or so from now, and I'll see you then!"

"Okay…"

(uh….I don't know what to say!)

She was genuinely scared after that…I know she had wanted me to ask the doctor that question, because she was afraid of what the answer might be…But we got through it…Besides, we were on cloud nine after finding out that at our next appointment, we could find out what we were having…

(Okay guys, so that's it for this chapter…I know I've been slow with getting them up lately…I guess I just haven't been in the writing mood, but at this rate, I might have the end of the story up before I go home…I dunno though…I'm gonna start right away on Chapter 15…)
