The next few days started out the exactly the same, with Jude hugging the toilet bowl. She was even more sick than when she found out she was pregnant. Either Kwest or Sadie would go in and keep an eye on her. Once she was done, Sadie would get her to drink some water and Jude would sleep on and off for the rest of the day.

One afternoon she fell asleep watching a soap opera and she heard Tommy's voice again.

"Hey girl."

"Tommy."

"I'm just a dream again sweetheart."

"I, I know," she said quietly.

"I miss you so much girl."

Tears flowed freely down her face. They were in the same white room as before. "I miss you too."

"You have to take care of yourself girl. You're losing more weight everyday."

"I can't do anything without you Tommy."

"Don't say that," he reached for her hand.

"Why not? I want to die, I want to be with you!"

"Jude Harrison! I never ever want to hear you say that again. You don't have just yourself to think about anymore."

"Y...you know?"

"Of course I know. I watch you every minute of every day."

"I don't wnat a baby Tommy! I'm seventeen!"

"I know girl," Tommy hung his head in shame. "I'm sorry. I never meant for you to get pregnant."

"Why did you go?"

"I had no choice Jude, you know that."

"I don't want to wake up Tommy."

"You have to. This is the last time I can visit you."

"No!"

"I'm sorry Jude. There's nothing I can do about it."

"I can't raise a baby by myself Tommy."

"Jude, look around you for once. Sadie and Kwest, Kat and Jamie, even Speed, they're all willing to help you."

"Well I don't want a baby without you."

"You know I wish I could be there. Be able to hold my son or daughter right after he or she is born. Be able to look at my glowing fiance, wake up in the middle of the night, just to watch our baby sleep. I would give anything to be able to hold you every night."

Tears flowed down Jude's face as Tommy kept talking.

"Everyday, I have to watch you throw your life away and it hurts Jude. Especially since I'm the cause of it."

"Your not the cause of it."

"No? Then why do you lie in bed everyday? You haven't wrote a song or been to the studio in weeks, because of me."

"That's not true!" Jude cried.

"Yes it is and you know it!"

"So maybe it partly is Tommy, but what am I supposed to do? Forget about the man I love and jump on the first guy I meet."

Pain coursed through Tommy as he thought of another man touching Jude. "That's not what I'm saying at all."

"Then what are you saying?"

"I'm saying that nothing is supposed to be easy. I'm outright saying, this sucks. I'm saying I love you and I want you to be happy, and stop being so ddamn stubborn for once!"

"Fine!"

"Jude, this is the last time we can ever speak like this. Don't be mad at me."

"I'm not mad."

"Sure."

"Okay Tommy, I'll go to the studio if that's what's going to make you happy."

"A little bit. I'm not asking you to forget about me. I'm just telling you to take care of yourself and the baby. Don't let yourself be like this for the rest of your life."

"I don't plan on it Tommy."

"Then promise me you'll start taking care of yourself and start talking to your friends."

"I promise."

"Good. Remember I'll always love you," he started to walk away.
"You can't go already."

"I have to."

"I love you Tommy."

With that, Jude woke up and walked into the kitchen.

"Hey," Sadie greeted her. "Feeling any better?"

"A little bit."

"Think you can eat something?"

"Yeah," she said quietly.

Sadie grabbed a box of poptarts from the top shelf and popped two in the toaster, before she joined Jude at the counter.

"Georgia called earlier."

"Yeah?"

"She wanted to know how you were and if you wanted to stop by the studio sometime."

"I think I'm going to go in tomorrow."

Sadie was shocked by her answer and looked at her quizzically. "What's gotten into you?"

"A visit from a friend."

And that everyone is the end! Wow, I had so much fun writing this, and I got over 200 reviews, which is awesome. Thanks everyone for sticking with it as long as you did! I'm hoping everyone liked it. I left the ending wide open because there will be a sequel, but probably not anytime soon. I have another really good idea for a new IS fic, so keep on the lookout for more stuff by me! Review and lemme know what you thought of this chapter and the story on a whole!
