A/N: Okay...this chapter...might not make any sense. I really dont know where I was going with this. But I am nearing the end of my story. Like within the next 2-4 chapters. I hope I'm not boring yall too much

Chapter 18- I think...

"Tommy, wake up" Jude shook Tommy awake.

"Not now" Tommy groaned

"It's the day" Jude said

"The...oh." Tommy forced himself awake. Today was the court date, and they would put Derek in prison for the rest of his life hopefully.

Tommy got dressed in a black suit and a lavender tie at Jude's request. Jude wore one of Sadie's political outfits. Tommy wrapped his arm around Jude's shoulder and led her out to the car. They finally reached the courthouse and stood outside.

"You ready?" Jude asked

"...yeah" Tommy clutched Jude's hand. He looked over and made eye contact with Derek as he was being escorted into the building. He looked so ridiculous in his jumpsuit and handcuffs. But somehow those clothes seemed to fit him. He looked away from Tommy and Jude and walked ahead staring at the floor. Tommy took Jude's hand even tighter, and Jude knew how nervous Tommy must be right now. She rubbed his hand lightly with her thumb.

"You're going to win." Jude assured
"I know..but he's so..."
"Don't think about him. Think about what he did, and how he needs to be kept away from the world forever"
"I think that's classified as thinking of him"
"Well you know what I mean"
"Get angry instead of getting nervous...right"
"Just tell your story. You'll do fine"
Jude didn't go in with Tommy to the court session. She just sat outside in the hall. Even though she was the one that Derek had wanted dead, she wasn't exactly a part of his crimes, she was just the motive. But she as a person had nothing to do with it. It was just her being...her existance. And therefore that excused her from having to explain anything. She paced the halls outside the courtroom, occasionally hearing the judges words from inside. Finally, Tommy walked out. He looked sad.

"Well? What happened? What did he get?" Jude asked, running up to him
"He..."Tommy looked at the ground "...got 43 years and parole!" Tommy laughed and embraced Jude. He kissed her forehead lightly.

"Well, that's 43 years we won't have to worry about him"
"Plenty of time for us to get married..." Tommy lifted Jude's hand and swept his thumb over the diamonds of her ring. She smiled and embraced him again.

"Let's go home" Jude said

"You know..." Tommy said as they were exiting the building. Jude looked up at him curiously. "We can finally pick out a date"
"A date?"
"For the wedding"
"oh! We can! Yes!" Jude jumped up and down.

"But we can discuss that at home"
"Right"
The whole drive home was quiet, mainly because Jude was still exhausted from waking up so early in the morning. Tommy didn't mind, today was turning out to be such a good day that he didn't care what happened next. He felt like the whole world could come crashing down on his shoulders and he wouldn't budge. When they got home, they sat down at the dinner table and took out a pen and paper.

"Okay...so...a date"
"A date." Jude echoed. "Um...OH! What about valentines day!"
"Wouldn't that be a little too cliche'd?"

"Right..." Jude thought for a moment "St Patricks Day?"
"Jude...why do we have to use up a holiday? Why can't we make our own day?"
"That would be nice..."
"June 12"

"Why such a random date?"
"For one, it's a Saturday. 2, It almost guarentee's nice weather since its the very beginning of summer, and 3,...It's our 4 year anniversary."
"OH! I'm sorry!" Jude felt so bad for not recognizing the date first-hand

"Haha, for what?" Tommy didn't think so much into it
"I forgot!"
"Nah, whatever. It's not like its so special" Tommy said sarcastically. "It's okay, really"
"I forgot!" She repeated.
"Well, you're getting to be an old fart I guess"
"Hey!"
"It's the only thing I can think of"
"Well then you're an even older fart. You're not even a fart. You're a..."
"Okay I get it"

"Haha!"
"So...June 12?"
"June 12 it is"

"Hey...I read it once in high school or something...but it said that soon to be married couples should talk about their thoughts on children before they marry..."
"Wow, strong topic"
"Very...heh..."
"Uh...Well..."
"Tommy...reproducing...HAHA!" Jude broke into an akward laughter.

"I could see it happening...Not sure when but..."
"Well, do you want kids at all even?"
"Do you want kids?"
"Um, I want a KID, yes...but not KIDS"
"Thank god" Tommy said, sighing of relief.
"But when?"
"I donno, when it happens?"
"So we're just gonna take a chance?"
"No, I mean..."
"What do you mean then?"
"What about early in the marriage? I don't want to be an old dad"
"I don't wanna be an old mom"
"but how early?"
"um...What if...nevermind. What about a couple months after, or a year maybe?"
"Months I guess..." Tommy looked away

"Jeez, Quincy. You wanna get busy dontcha!" Jude laughed

"If only you knew..." Tommy said. Jude sighed and laughed under her breath.

"I want a girl" Jude said
"Sounds nice" Tommy said, not seeming interested.
"Tommy! This is our kid we're talking about!"
"I'll be happy with whatever it is"
"...right"
"Enough about weddings im feeling really old right now" Jude walked in the kitchen and grabbed a poptart. She didn't bother to toast it. Tommy just stared off into his own thoughts. After a few minutes, Tommy stood and followed her into the kitchen. She was pacing around and she looked nervous. He asked her what was wrong but she insisted nothing was wrong, so he took her in his arms and kissed her. His arms found her waist and they went into the bedroom. He placed her on the bed and began sending kisses down her neck. After a while she stopped him before it got too far.

"What's wrong?" Tommy asked.

"...I don't think we can do this right now"
"Why not?"
"Just...don't want to"
"You are not Jude" Tommy said, staring down at her. She lifted her face and kissed him one more time.

"...just not now"
"Okay..." Tommy rolled over next to her and held her in his arms. He could feel her shaking for some reason but he wasn't sure why. He attempted to ask her what was wrong again but she brushed it aside saying he was imagining things.

"Jude what is wrong!" He asked a third time.

"Nothing, Tommy!" Jude was getting irritated.

"Then why have you been acting so weird! You act like you're scared to do anything with me now. Just like before"
"You really want to know?"
"Yeah, I do"
"...Tommy...I..."
"What, Jude?" Tommy stroked her cheek when he saw a tear making its way down her face.
"I think I might be...pregnant"

A/N: OOOO! IN YO FACE! Slaps self Never let me do that again
