Chapter 2: Sweet Surprises.

AN: To RedLA, Jude was 19 when they hooked up.

I kept my music career going even if I was now a parent. Actually when the press got word of my pregnancy, my CD sales went up. I guess people liked the idea of me being a parent.

Sadie helped me care for Tommy while I recorded but then I held him and cared for him all the other times. It was tough but I got through everything alright.

I was at G Major when my life got turned upside down, again.

"Here's Tommy," Sadie said, passing him over to me. "It sounded good."

"Thanks, Sis. You know I wouldn't be able to do this without you," I replied, taking him out of her arms.

"I know, you've told me in every acceptance speech since he was born."

I laughed. "That's quite true." I walked back into the studio and sat down. I listened to the newly recorded remix of 24 hours and said, "I think it needs a little more bass."

"I totally agree," Jamie added.

"Thank you, Musical Gandalf," I joked. I looked up out the window that was in the door. I dropped me jaw in astonishment. "It can't be..." I mumbled.

"What?" Jamie asked.

I pointed out the window. "That."

Jamie looked at what I was pointing to and dropped his jaw as well. "No way..."

The door swung open and there stood someone who I thought I'd never see again.

"Tommy?" I spat out. Tommy Jr. squirmed in my arms at the sound of his name.

"Jude! It's good to see you!" He called, excited.

"Hey..." I said.

He paused for a second, thinking over what I said. "Hey? I've been gone for a year and all you have to say is hey?"

I handed Tommy Jr. over to Jamie.

"Jude, you know I'm not good with ki-" He whined.

"Shut up, Jamie." I stood and walked up to Tommy. "What do you want me to say Tommy? Oh hi, good to see you, it's alright that you never returned any of my phone calls and that you were gone for six months longer than you were supposed to be."

"Okay, um, let me explain. I met someone on the road."

"I figured as much."

"She convinced me to stay with her for a while longer."

"Again, I figured as much."

"Then just a few weeks ago we broke up and I decided to return here."

"See Tom..." Tommy Jr. squirmed again. "When I said that I wouldn't hold anything against you, that was expecting that you came back, which you didn't."

"Okay, I deserved that but it's not like you stayed out of relationships." He motioned towards Jamie and Tommy Jr.

"I have a kid, yeah."

"I hope you are happy together."

I paused out of shock. "You think Jamie and me ha- Oh, you got to be kidding. Jamie and Kat are engaged. The kid is mine and... yours."

He shook his head. "No... I don't believe it."

"Well..." I took my son from Jamie and walked back over to Tommy. "Meet your son, Tommy Jr." The little boy giggled.

Tommy rubbed his forehead and stared down at me. "So when did you find out you were expecting a child?"

"A few weeks after you left."

"And you didn't think you should tell me?"

"Are you kidding? I've e-mailed you, called you, and if you ever picked up a tabloid, you would've known!" Tommy Jr. started crying when I yelled. I handed him back to Jamie and said, "Take him out to Sadie, she can take care of him for the moment."

Jamie left the room with my son in his arms.

Georgia, EJ, and Kwest sat in shock at our conversation. "Do you want us to leave?" Kwest asked.

"No, Kwest, you guys can stay I just didn't Tommy Jr. in here." I looked back at Tom. "This was world wide news! It was on the cover of every tabloid around the globe!"

"I didn't pick up a tabloid! Did you expect me to? Is that the way you wanted me to find out?"

"No! I called you the second I found out! You were the first person I wanted to tell! But I got your voice mail so I left a message and you never called me back!"

"I didn't get the message!"

"Oh right! Like I'm supposed to believe that!

"Maybe you didn't really send messages and just want to make this seem like all my fault!"

"I called and e-mailed you once a month! Ask Sadie, Jamie, EJ, Georgia, even Kwest! They'll tell you!"

Tommy looked at the three, looking for an answer. "Did she?"

Kwest was the one to answer. "Yeah, man, she did."

I paused for a minute, a thought hitting me. "When did you meet that woman on tour?"

"Oh do we have to get into this now?"

"Tell me!"

"A few weeks into my tour."

"See!"

"See? See what?"

"The woman you were dating..."

"Crissy."

"Yeah, whatever. She checked your messages before you had a chance and erased my messages! She knew that if you knew I was pregnant, you'd come back home to be with me! She probably erased my e-mails too!"

"Well, I did let her check my e-mails and messages for me..."

"See!"

Tommy looked like he was on the verge of a break down. He threw his arms around me and lifted me off the ground. "I'm so sorry. I would've been here if I'd known. I don't know what I was thinking being with her in the first place," he whispered in my ear. "I love you, Jude, with all of my heart. You're the only for me."

"Tommy, you don't know how long I've waited to hear that from you. I love you too." A tear fell from my eye.

He wiped it off my cheek. "No crying, Babygirl." He moved his face closer to mine until our lips were joined together like they had been over a year ago.

Sadie, holding Tommy, and Jamie came back in. Sadie handed Tommy to me and I handed him to his father. "Tommy Jr.," I said, "meet your father."

Tommy looked down at our son and then back at me.
