Jess woke up the next morning to her iPod station blasting another old song from her parents' time "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain. The lyrics reminded her of last night, that was one of the best nights of her life. Jess smiled when she remembered it all, the coffee, "Truth". Their kiss. Their steamy, romantic, loving with a hint of lust filled kiss. Jess got out of bed and quickly into the shower to get ready for the day.

Tommy was sitting at the kitchen table eating his eggs while reading a book while Jude was making them both tea. Tommy was contemplating last night, and the happiness he saw in Jess's eyes when she returned home. It was the same type of happy he saw in Jude's when they were young and had exploded from so much pent up emotion. Allowing all of it to be let out in one breath taking kiss. He looked over at Jude, his beautiful glowing wife Jude. She was carrying his son, their son. Their perfect little bundle of a life. Not that he didn't see Jess in that way, but he never got to hold her when she was born, he didn't get to cut her umbilical cord, he didn't get to count her fingers or toes or hear her first cries. And he was definitely excited to do all that with their son.

"Whatcha thinkin' about Quincy?" Jude asked as she sat down in her chair next to Tommy.

"All the things I can't wait for once this guy is born," Tommy said rubbing Jude's belly.

"You're so excited for him, huh?" Jude asked with a soft smile.

Tommy leaned into Jude and whispered in her ear. "You have no idea,"

The two kissed softly for a moment, and then pulled away, Tommy's real thoughts coming to mind. Jude saw this and knew what he was thinking about.

"Jess and Tanner probably kissed and that was all," Jude said bluntly.

"What?" Tommy nearly yelled.

"Relax, Superman. You said yourself that Tanner wouldn't hurt her, and I guarantee you, Jess is smarter than to go out there and have sex with someone she had only known for about two weeks," Jude stated in a matter of fact tone.

"She's my only daughter, I just don't want anything to happen to her. I want to shelter her from horrible guys," Tommy said wrapping an arm around Jude's shoulders.

"We can't always be her shield baby. She's an adult now. Plus, she's already had her heart broken, and she's coming out stronger than before," Jude said kissing Tommy on his cheek.

Jess came out of the bathroom and hour later, completely dressed and ready for the day. She was wearing the necklace Sadie, Nate and Sarah had gotten her and the ring that Tanner gave her. In her messenger bag she had the new journal from Tanner, she was going to start writing songs in it as soon as she was hit with inspiration, her wallet, cell phone, iPod, and of course, a bag of gummy worms.

"G'morning," Jess said grabbing a piece of bread and placing two slices of bacon in it with some eggs.

"Now that's what I call a fast breakfast," Tommy said eying the sandwich Jess was eating.

"What's got you in such a hurry?" Jude asked noticing how fast she was eating breakfast and drinking her coffee.

"The faster I eat, the faster we get there, which means the sooner I have to get to work on the music for the movie, and I just got this idea for a song for you to sing, Mom," Jess said handing her the lyrics to the song that had popped into her late late last night after she was done texting with Tanner.

"Hmmm, these lyrics are good. Do you have an idea for the chords?" Jude asked.

"Kind of, I was hoping you could help me work on them in the studio today?" Jess asked, hopefulness in her eyes.

"Yeah of course, we'll start it right away once we get in there," Jude said handing Jess back the lyrics.

"So, I don't get to see the lyrics?" Tommy said faking disappointment.

"Nope, sorry, you'll have to hear it once we're done," Jess said with a smile as she finished her breakfast.

"Alright, let's get going then. We're supposed to be there at 7 and it's 6:45," Tommy said tapping on his watch as Jude grabbed her purse and they walked out towards the rental car.

When Jess arrived in the studio, she and her mother quickly got started on the song Jess had come up with the night before. They went through several different chord variations, and ended up spending at least 2 hours on picking the right one before they had gotten it down.

"So did you want to go acoustic with it? Or what?" Jude asked leaning against the couch while sitting on the floor.

"I'm thinking maybe we should get the full band, I think acoustics would be great, but with this song, it'd get kind of old. So I'm thinking the full band, with piano," Jess said emphasizing on the piano.

"Piano? Really?" Jude asked a little skeptical.

"Really, trust me mom, I've got the whole thing planned out, here, take the guitar and start playing that chord variation and I'll jump in with the piano," Jess said running towards the piano.

Jude looked at her daughter skeptically, but started to play the acoustic guitar, and then Jess did as she said she would, she jumped in with the piano. Jude looked up at her daughter in surprise on how perfect the piano actually did sound with the lyrics.

"Sing mom, sing with it," Jess told her so they could get an actual feel for how the song would sound.

"I tried to tell you, I've got to get away, I tried to say, I need my space," Jude sang, as she smiled over at her daughter who was nodding with the way she was singing.

"Like Dad and Uncle Kwest say, sonic perfection," Jess said with a laugh.

"When should we record it?" Jude asked, admiration on her face, proud of her daughter's work.

"Um, let's take a break, and then we'll go get SME in here to play, that sound good?" Jess asked and Jude nodded.

When Jess and Jude walked out to the set, they were in the middle of filming the scene where 'Jude' and 'Tommy' had kissed for the second time in the studio after 'Jude' had returned from her second tour. The scene wrapped up and Tanner saw Jess over by the snack bar. He walked over and hugged her from behind, scaring her a little bit.

"Hey," Tanner said softly, with a small grin.

"Hey," Jess replied, her tone just as soft, and her grin just as small.

"So, I'm not going to be needed for another, do you want to go talk some where?" Jess was about to reply 'not yet' but Jude looked over at Jess and told her to go ahead.

"Yeah, no one's in the studio right now, so we can go in there," Jess said as Tanner held her hand and she led him towards the studio.

"Where are they going?" Kwest asked Jude.

"We will find out when they get back," Jude said to Kwest with a look that said "You know," and Kwest just mouthed an "Oh," and nodded.

Jess was sitting in the swivel chair in the studio and Tanner was sitting on the couch.

"So, about last night," Tanner said, trying to gather his words.

"Yeah, about that," Jess said looking away for a moment and then biting her bottom lip. Tanner loved it when she bit her bottom lip.

"I don't want to make this go too fast," Tanner said with sincerity in his voice.

"Me either. I'm going to come right out and say it, I like you Tanner, a lot. But, I don't know if you feel it too, but there's this connection, and I don't know what to do about it. But I do know, that I don't want it to go away," Jess said looking up at Tanner.

"I know what you're talking about. And I do feel it too. That's why I don't want to come off too strongly," Tanner said walking over to Jess and kneeling down in front of her.

"I just, I don't want to get hurt," Jess said, tears welling up in her eyes that had still been unshed from her last break up.

"That's the last thing I'll ever do. I care about you too much to do anything to hurt you. So are we...a we?" Tanner asked, holding her hands in his.

Jess looked at him, she saw he wanted this just as badly as she did, and she nodded yes, capturing his lips in hers. They kissed passionately generating the same heat they had felt the night before, and then pulled away before they felt they would stop breathing.

"Not that I didn't enjoy that, but I still have some work to do," Jess said with a smile, as Tanner just chuckled at her.

"Alright, but before I go," Tanner grabbed Jess's hand, and placed the ring on her ring finger of her left hand. "Not that we're engaged or anything, I just think it is better suited there,"

Tanner and Jess smiled at each other, she kissed him lightly and then gently pushed him out of the studio as Jude and SME came in ready to record.

"Ooh, did something just happen?" Jude asked sarcastically while Jess just rolled her eyes and they all started to record the song.

Tanner walked on to the set with a grin on his lips and a twinkle in his eye. Tommy couldn't help but notice the young man's stature and watched him closely, the small yet happy bounce in his step, his chipper attitude. There was no doubt about it, Tanner and Jess, his only daughter, his baby girl, were a couple.

The two Harrison-Quincy girls and SME had just finished recording and were walking towards the set. The current scene that was being set up was when 'Jude' had arrived home from finding out about Tommy leaving. Jude had to admit, Rebecca had some amazing acting skills. Give the girl a few seconds and she was an emotional train wreck ready to happen on film.

"WHERE WERE YOU JUDE!" yelled Victoria's character. Rebecca managed a believable flinch at the shout and managed to keep eye contact away.

"I was at the docks," Rebecca said sullenly, her eyes on the floor, her voice so soft.

"You were at the docks for nearly a whole day! I get a call from Kwest saying you stormed out of the studio in tears! I'm here worried sick and you say you were at the docks and couldn't do so much as answer your phone!"

"Mom, Tommy left. I'm sorry if I am upset with losing a close friend and a producer and needed some time alone alright? Can I please go upstairs and receive my punishment tomorrow in the morning?"

"I'm not going to punish you, just, don't let it happen again, if you're hungry there is still food in the kitchen, otherwise go to bed," Rebecca went along with the memorized script and went up the make shift stairs, ending the scene.

"And cut! Good job! We nailed it, take a 10 minute break while we do another set up," David said in his mega phone while Rebecca wiped away at the fake tears in her eyes she started to laugh at something one of the other actors said.

Tanner walked up behind Jess and wrapped his arms around her. He couldn't help but get a fuzzy feeling in his stomach, it was just something he had never felt with anyone before, and it felt so good.

I've known her for only three weeks, but it feels like forever...

Jess smiled, she recognized the strong arms enveloping around her, she looked up and felt his lips brush against her cheek. Everyone around looked at them, some shocked, some relieved, and some just happy for the two. Tommy looked their way, gave Tanner a look and then looked away. It wasn't negative or positive, just a look of understanding.

A few more weeks had passed, and Jude's pregnancy was going along perfectly. It was now towards the end of August, and Jude was expecting in early to mid September. All the filming that could be done in Toronto had wrapped up and now Tanner was currently in New York filming the concert, hotel, pizzeria, and the 'after the concert' scene. Jude was slightly relieved that her most troubling occurence in the film was being shot out of town.

Jess and Tanner were together and happy. Ethan would still try and get a hold of her but Jess would just ignore the phone calls, text messages, letters, and emails. One day while at home with her parents, just relaxing, Jude's eyes widened, and Tommy looked down at his pants and noticed they were wet.

"Oh god, Tommy, my water broke. Tommy! Tommy my water is broken! It's time!" Jude exclaimed.

"Oh my god, ok, just, calm down, I'm going to get the suitcase!" Jess said running towards the closet and grabbing the already packed suitcase.

"Alright, we got to get you to the car so we can get you to the hospital alright?" Tommy said as Jude just nodded and Tommy helped her to the car.

Once they were all in the car, Jude's first contraction came, causing her to scream like bloody murder.

"My god, that's one reason I'm glad I wasn't hear for when Jess was born," Tommy said as Jess drove the car.

"Shut the hell up! Oh god, here comes another one!" Jude said screaming again while squeezing Tommy's hand.

"Ow! Ow!" Tommy muttered looking at his hand.

"That's nothing compared to what your son is doing! Damn, ow!" Jude said as another contraction came.

"Alright guys we're here!" Jess said as she pulled up to the hospital, Tommy and Jude getting out first while she went to park the car.

"How far apart are her contractions?" The nurse asked.

"Um, about 10 minutes," Tommy answered as Jude continued to chew on some ice.

"Alright, we have a couple more minutes to wait until she's ready. The doctor will be with you two soon," the nurse said as she closed the door to their room while Jude just sat back and resting in the bed.

"You're beautiful," Tommy said brushing some of Jude's hair out of her face.

"You say that now, Quincy. Just wait until this baby is born," Jude said with sarcasm and a smile.

"You're doing good, just-"

"Oh god, it's another contraction," Jude said grabbing Tommy's hand, he winced a little, trying to be strong for Jude. After about a minute the contraction subsided and Jude lied back down, breathing and grabbing some more ice.

"Why is that I think I'm going to need a cast by the time this little boy's born," Tommy said jokingly as Jude just glared at him and threw a piece of ice at him.

At that moment the doctor came in with a chart in her hand and looked at the two and smiled "Hello, I'm Dr. Norway, I'll be helping with the delivery. It seems you are just about ready now for delivery, I presume you are the husband Mr. Quincy?"

"Yes, that's me," Tommy said as the doctor handed him his scrubs and told him to hurry and get ready while they get Jude on the stretcher and down to the ER for delivery.

As soon as Tommy came out of the bathroom in his scrubs, they were already wheeling Jude into the ER. He ran as fast as he could to catch up and hold Jude's hand. Jude could see the anticipation and love in his eyes as he held her hand while they entered the delivery room.

Jess had just finished texting Tanner, telling him that Jude had just gone into labor. Sadie, Nate, Sarah, Victoria, Stuart, Yvette, Kwest, SME, Georgia, Jamie, Kat, Riley, EJ and even Jay were all in the waiting room. Kwest and Spiederman had gone on a coffee and food run for everybody, making them all swear to call them as soon as news had come.

"UGH AHHHHHHH!" Jude shouted as she pushed again, her blonde hair being held back by Tommy as he bit his lip to stop from screaming in pain from his hand.

"You're doing good Jude!" Tommy shouted.

"Shut up! You did this to me!" Jude yelled as she pushed again, Tommy knew it was the hormones and the pain talking so he just smirked, but that was soon wiped off when he felt the immense pain in his hand again.

"He's crowning! I can see his head! Keep pushing Jude you're doing great!" the doctor said as Jude sighed and then pushed again with all her might.

"Can you see him?" Jude asked tiredly.

"Yeah I see him, he's beautiful baby," Tommy said as Jude smiled at him.

"Alright Jude, we need you to push one last time, really hard this time ok! With all that you got," The doctor said as Jude did as she was told and screamed along with the push. Tommy even shouted a little bit with her to get her going too.

"There he is! Your baby boy has arrived, good job you two," the doctor said while washing off their baby boy.

Tommy grinned at their son as he passed him over to Jude who already had her arms out ready to hold him.

"He's got all ten fingers and ten toes," Tommy said, his eyes glistening with tears of joy.

"Aww, look Derek, your daddy is a big ol' softy," Jude crooned to the baby.

"We're naming him Derek?" Tommy asked looking at his son.

"Yep, Derek Michael Quincy," Jude beamed, "Say hi to Daddy," Jude handed Tommy their son. Tommy looked down at his son with happiness in his eyes, a few tears trickled down his face but he wiped them away staring down at his perfect baby boy.

"Hey Derek. I'm your Daddy. I'm going to give you a few words of advice and say don't ever not listen to Mommy, she's the boss. Forget that man of the house stuff, Mommy's the queen and rules all," Tommy said as Jude just laughed at him. "Also, you have a sister, her name's Jessica, but call her Jess, she hates Jessica,"

"Alright you two, I'm sorry to cut this short but it's time we take Derek Michael Quincy down to the nursery, we'll bring him up to you once we're done running a few tests," the doctor said as Tommy was about to hand her their son.

"Wait! Can I hold him one more time?" Jude asked, her arms outstretched already. Tommy handed him back to Jude.

"Hey Derek, this is your Mommy, I'm going to let you go with the nice doctor lady for a little bit, but I'll see you soon," Jude cooed to her son as she handed him to the doctor and they started to wheel Jude into a more private room.
