Chapter 25 - You're not mad?

Tommy and Jude walked into the hospital once again. It was like a routine now. They stopped at the nurses station to check in and then started on their way to Sadie's room.

"Hey, I'm gonna' check on my mom real quick, okay?" Jude said.

"Alright. I'll be with Kwest." Tommy agreed, kissing Jude before she went in the opposite direction.

Tommy walked in on Kwest and Sadie making out.

"Come on you guys, thats what got you here in the first place." He mocked, closing the door behind him.

"Hey Tom." Sadie said, smiling sweetly.

"Hey Tom, just the man I need to talk to." Kwest greeted.

"Yeah? what's up?" Tommy asked.

"I talked to Darius, you are officially a member of G-major and working with Jude again."

"You're not her producer anymore?" Tommy asked, slightly amused.

"Face it man, no one can make music with her unless it's you." Kwest smiled, watching Tommy grin.

"Where is Jude?" Sadie asked.

"She's checking on your mom." Tommy informed.

"Oh." Sadie said, looking down at the bundle of joy in her arms. She smiled at Jay and rocked him back and forth.

"You want to say hi to uncle Tommy?" Sadie asked in a kiddie voice, holding one of her hands out for Tommy to grab.

Tommy shook his head.

"I don't think so." He said, not wanting to hurt the kid.

"Aww come on Tommy." Sadie begged. Tommy finally gave in and came forward, grabbing Jay and holding him in his arms carefully.

Jude opened the door to her mother's room and walked in. It seemed to be warmer this time and the room was more bright. There were also flowers on the counter across the room.

"Hey mom." Jude said softly, walking up to her mom's bed.

"Jude." Her mother spoke timidly.

"How are you feeling?" She asked, sitting down next to her.

Just then the door opened and Stuart and Don walked in, both holding coffee.

"Jude, hey." Stuart greeted, surprised to see his daughter.

"Dad!" Jude got up and quickly embraced him. He kissed her on the cheek and started towards the bed.

"Hey Don." Jude said politely.

"Hey." Don replied, sitting on the opposite side of the bed.

"Um dad, can I talk to you outside for a second?" Jude asked.

"Sure babe." Stuart followed Jude out of the room and the two stood in the hallway.

Jude fiddled with her hands, searching for the words. Stuart decided to say something.

"Your mother told me about your problems lately..is everything better? I've been meaning to call, but work..you know." He said.

"Yeah, I'm much better, actually." She retorted.

"Good..good." He murmured.

"Yeah...dad?" Jude asked, still fidgeting.

"Yeah hun?"

"I don't live with mom anymore..and I'm sure you already talked to Sadie, she's moving in with Kwest."

"What do you mean you don't live with your mom anymore?"

"I'm living with someone." Jude said, quietly. Her eyes were fixed on the floor.

"With who?"

"..Tommy." She said, looking up and meeting his eyes.

"Tom?" He asked, trying to grasp the situation calmly.

"Yeah.." Jude said, biting her lip.

Stuart stood quiet for a few minutes. His eyes were distant and he was obviously thinking things over.

"Tom, huh?" He asked, a smirk growing across his lips.

"Yep." Jude wasn't sure if he was upset or not.

"For how long now?"

"A few days." She answered, still unsure of his emotions.

"And you are sure about this?"

"More than anything." She assured.

Stuart smiled and nodded.

"So, you're not mad?" Jude asked, hesitance in her voice.

"My little girl is growing up. You are 18, It doesn't matter what I think. I like Tom so no, I don't have a problem." Stuart said.

Jude smiled and hugged him, whispering 'Thank you' quietly.

"I'm going to go check on Sadie, I'll be back, okay?"

"Alright hun." Stuart kissed her forehead and let her walk down the hall. He watched her and smiled, thinking of how mature she was.

"My little girl..." He said to himself and then walked back into the room with Victoria and Don.

"Quincy, I never thought I'd see the day." Jude remarked, watching Tommy hold Jay in his arms, carefully.

"Funny." Tommy said, handing the kid to Kwest.

"Jude!" Sadie said, holding out her arms. Jude came over and hugged her quickly.

"Hey mom." She said, joking.

"Hey..there's something different about you." Sadie observed, looking Jude over.

"What? What are you talking about?" Jude asked, smiling.

"I don't know. You are like..glowing." Sadie said.

Jude gave her a weird look and then looked over at Kwest who was also eyeing her.

"She's right. There's something different about you." He agreed.

"Okay you guys need a shrink, or glasses, either or." Jude said, walking towards Tommy who was also smiling.

"Tom, you can't stop smiling," Sadie said, smirking as she also eyed Jude, "You too Jude, what's going on?" She asked, obviously catching on to the previous night.

"Sadie, I really have no idea what you're talking about." Jude said, sitting next to Tommy.

"Oh my god." Realization washed over Sadie and her eyes widened while her lips curved into a huge smile.

"What?" Jude asked.

"You..Tommy, Kwest, get out!" Sadie ordered, pointing towards the door.

"What?" Kwest laughed, watching Sadie's face turn serious.

"Okay, come on Tom." He pulled Tommy out of the room before things got ugly.

--

"Jude, why didn't you tell me?" Sadie squealed.

"Oh I don't know, maybe because Kwest was in here and I do have the least bit of cooth."

"I can't believe it! I'm so proud of you!" Sadie squealed once again.

Jude rolled her eyes and smiled at her sister's over exaggerated reaction.

--

"You didn't.." Kwest said, staring Tommy down. Tommy Just smiled.

"You did! Congrats, man." Kwest said, using his free hand to shake Tommy's. Kwest was still holding the baby so he couldn't use his other hand for too long.

"How was it?" Kwest asked, smirking.

"Kwest." Tommy gave him a look and Kwest laughed.

"Sorry, sorry." Kwest said.

"Okay well, let's get Sadie home." Kwest said, opening the door and motioning for Tommy to walk in first.
