Chapter Five

Jessica had been home now for about 2 weeks. She'd talked to Dave on the phone everyday and each time he'd told her she needed to see a doctor. She kept putting it off though. She just didn't want to go to a doctor and have reality hit that she was in fact having a baby.

She hadn't told her brother and sisters yet either. She knew she'd have to since she'd start gaining weight soon and now they were all old enough to know what was happening they'd be mad at her for not telling them. She hadn't seen or heard from Casey or Dean yet either and she was too scared to call them or go over there. She knew if she told Dean he'd hate her and CeeCee would probably tell everyone she knew, and try to get involved in everything too. Jessica didn't need that right now.

Jessica opened her eyes when her mom's voice sounded up the stairs. She'd been trying to take a nap because her sickness had been keeping her awake all night.

"Jessica" Her mom called again.

Jessica opened the bedroom door and rubbed her eyes.

"Yeah?"

"There's someone here to see you honey."

"Ok." Jessica called.

She wondered who it could be. If it was CeeCee or Dean they would have just come up to her room. She was hopeful it was going to be Randy but she doubted it. She made her way downstairs still feeling hopeful anyway. When she walked into the living room she smiled and swung her arms around her visitor.

"Eddie! Oh my god. What are you doing here?" She asked after they'd hugged.

"Dave told me you'd left. I was in the area and I thought I'd come and see how my little mamacita was."

"I'm fine. Eddie were you really in the area?"

Eddie laughed. "No, but Dave's my friend and he's taking you leaving really bad. Something about Randy. Wanna tell Uncle Eddie about it?"

"I'd love to. First you should meet my mom. Mom this is Eddie Guerrero. He's a friend of David's and I've come to be friends with him too. Eddie this is my mom Donna." Jessica smiled.

"Nice to meet you." They said exchanging handshakes.

"Ok, well do you want to go into the kitchen?" Jesse asked.

Eddie nodded and then followed her. She closed the door and they sat down at the table.

"Can I get you anything?"

"No, I'm good. So, what's all this about Randy? Dave told me he made you come home."

"Well, he didn't make me really. Like he didn't tell me to go. He actually didn't know I was going. See, I'm pregnant and it was an accident. We were careful. But you know these things happen. But when I told him he got all defensive towards me and asked if the baby was his. I didn't expect an attitude like that from him. So..I did what all children do and I left."

Eddie smiled. "You didn't act like a child mamacita, Randy did. I'll sort him out for you."

"You don't have to Eddie." Jesse smiled.

"I do have to. You're Dave's little sister. I think as much of you as I do my bonita daughters at home."

Jesse smiled again. "Well, ok but only if you want to."

"I do. Now, Mamacita we need to take you to the doctor. You're mom said you won't go."

"I will..just when I'm ready."

"I'm trusting you to go Jessica. I'll be asking Dave and if you haven't gone any later than 3 days time, I'll come back and drag you there."

Jessica laughed. "Ok Eddie. I'll go."

"Good. Before I go Vickie sends her love. You need to come back soon."

"I will. I promise."

"Ok good. Adios mami." Eddie kissed her cheek and they hugged before she saw him out.

She went back up to her room straight away and sat on her bed. Eddie was special to her and right now she didn't know what she'd do without him. He was right she did need to see a doctor, and she believed he'd come and drag her if she didn't. She decided she'd make an appointment for tomorrow.
