It had been two weeks since the incident, Tanner rarely left Jess's side. He only left when he needed to use the restroom, get food, shower, or grab something from home. David was sincere about the whole thing and put the movie on hold until Jess had woken up. Tommy and Jude went to the hospital as often as they could, but with Derek just being born, the doctors preferred Jude and Derek to stay at home for at least 5 hours during the day. Jess's room had filled with flowers and cards from friends and the cast and crew from the movie.

One day while Tanner was sleeping in his chair with a hospital blanket over him, he left Jess's iPod playing in her ears. He hoped that maybe by listening to a few songs a day would get her to wake up, so he would let it play for about an hour a day, but he had dozed off this day.

The nurse came in and noticed that the earphone was in her ear, and then also looked at the monitor and noticed that her brain activity was steadily increasing. Tanner, was still in a deep sleep, until he started to hear the consistent annoying sound of the monitor. When he finally woke up, he looked up at the monitor and noticed that it was now almost to the point where Jess was just sleeping. He looked down at the hand Tanner was holding, and noticed it was starting to twitch.

Tanner's eyes widened and he looked over at the nurse, "Shhh, let her wake up on her own,"

Tanner just listened, his eyes starting to glisten with more tears when he started to see Jess starting to open her eyes. Jess turned on her side and said "Hmmm, change the song..."

Tanner chuckled at this and then he saw Jess's eyes get bigger once she saw the monitors next to her and realized, she wasn't sleeping at home in her bed. Jess tried to rise out of bed, but found that her head was pounding and her body was incredibly weak.

"Ow, where am I?" Jess said.

"Oh my god, baby you're awake," Tanner said kissing Jess on her forehead.

"What happened? I feel like I drank a fifth of alcohol or something," Jess said rubbing her temples, hoping that the pain would subside.

"Do you not remember what happened?" Tanner asked, his voice growing in concern.

"I remember Derek being born, and then me and you decorating the house, and then..." Jess drifted off into her own thoughts as she remembered the fight, the punch, and then black. "Yeah, I remember,"

"You scared us so bad Quincy," Tanner said wiping away his tears.

"Hey, it's alright, I'm awake now Hudson, save those tears for when you're filming," Jess said with a laugh.

"It's just, Jess. You were in a coma for two weeks, everyone's been worried sick. I'm just so glad you're awake and ok," Tanner said kissing Jess on the cheek.

"Yeah, so, what have I missed since I was gone?" Jess asked.

The two were catching up on the last two weeks, how basically everyone stopped what they were doing until Jess had woken up. MTV had even put their Making of Documentary on hold until Jess was up. But that didn't stop the press from finding out that Jess was in a coma, and how broken up Tanner, Tommy, and Jude were about it. When Jude and Tommy heard the news that Jess was awake, they couldn't have been more ecstatic. The two ran into Jess's room with Derek in Tommy's firm hold. The rest of the day was spent with a conversation with Jess until she had a question.

"Wait, if I woke up to music playing, what song did you guys have me listening to?" Jess said as she looked down at her ipod and noticed which playlist was playing, which had looked really unfamiliar to her.

"Hudson, as much as I love my dad, WHY DID YOU PUT BOYZ ATTACK ON HERE?" Jess exclaimed pointing to her ipod.

Jude started laughing hysterically as did Tommy. Tanner was so glad that Jess in a hospital bed other wise she would've put him in ICU.

"I was listening to it to prepare for the scene I was doing for the movie," Tanner explained.

A few days later, Jess was allowed to leave the hospital, but only to stay home for two weeks to let her wound heal. Ethan was put on a restraining order. He was to stay 100 feet away from Jess and her family until her family had said other wise. During those two weeks, Jess decided to work on her demo, the demo that would decide whether she was ready to record a demo or not. Tanner had gone to visit Jess three times a day, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Tommy and Jude hadn't mind, it was clear that Jess and Tanner were in this thing together for the long haul, and Tanner never gave them a reason to not trust him.

Jess was now at home and it had been a week since she was released, but she was still as restless as ever. Tanner was sitting on the couch with her as they were just eating grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch and Jess was complaining again.

"I am just so BORED! I had finished my demo within the first 5 days of my house arrest, and now I have another seven days of nothing to accomplish," Jess said resting her head in Tanner's lap. The doctor had still required her to wear a bandage on her head until the stitches were gone, which wasn't until another two weeks.

"I know you are Quincy, but I thought my presence would cure that," Tanner said playing with her hair.

"Nope, sorry Hudson. You're also boring," Jess said with a cheerful smile as Tanner had just started to tickle her. Jude and Tommy were out at lunch with Derek, Sadie and Nate and wouldn't be back until later.

They continued to tickle each other until Tanner managed to be sitting on top of Jess. The two stared into each other's eyes for a moment, before Tanner relaxed and bent down and took her lips into a breathtaking kiss. Jess moaned in his mouth for a moment before they deepened their kiss. Tanner and Jess relaxed into each other, Tanner's hands found them selves under Jess's thighs, rising towards her back as Jess tangled her fingers in his hair. Tanner unhooked Jess's bra, and then Jess had stopped suddenly pulling away and sitting up on the couch.

"Am I going too fast?" Tanner asked with concern.

"Um, I don't know. It's just-"

"You're not ready?" Tanner asked, trying to be understanding.

"It's not that either," Jess said, Tanner looked at her with confusion in his eyes.

"I don't want my first time to be on this small couch," Jess said with a seductive smile, and Tanner nodded, taking her hand in his. Jess led him into her bedroom, where she closed and locked the door. Tanner took her lips into his once again, their passion exploding with one another. Tanner and Jess continued with where they had left off. Tanner being as careful as possible, warm soft skin meeting each other for the first time. Jess couldn't help but pant and scream at first, the pain almost seemed unbearable, but then it all subsided once she started to feel more comfortable. Tanner continued to kiss Jess, trying to calm her down, once they had finished, Jess rested her head on Tanner's toned chest and inhaled deeply.

"Did I hurt you?" Tanner asked, soft love in his eyes as he played with her fingers.

"At first a little, but after wards I was good," Jess said with a smile as she kissed Tanner deeply and then hesitantly pulled away.

"I love you Jess," Tanner said.

"I love you too," Jess replied as they fell asleep in each other's arms.

Only an hour later, Jess woke up and walked into the shower. She had to make sure she and Tanner looked normal before her parents had gotten home. She quickly woke up Tanner, who just washed his hair in her sink while Jess showered. Tanner walked out of the bed room first, sitting down on the couch, hoping nothing was noticable, and turned on the tv.

Jess walked out in a pair of pajamas and a new bandage on and her hair already blown dry. Jess sat down next to Tanner, her head resting on his chest again, as they just lied down on the couch together and watched TV together, drifting off into a peaceful sleep.

Tommy, Jude and Derek got home around 6 in the afternoon and saw the two sleeping on the couch. Tommy was oblivious to it all, he didn't notice anything different with Jess, but Jude saw it, she could spot it from a mile away. Jude could see the glow affect Jess had, and she recognized it very well. Jude wasn't angry or mad or anything. She was just taken aback that now, her daughter was really an adult now, Jude decided not to say anything, it wasn't her place, but now, she was generally happy that Jess had finally found someone she had really loved.

The next day, Tommy decided to take Derek to the set to introduce him to everyone, and so it was just Jess and Jude at home. Jess was lying down on her stomach on the chair and ottoman that connected to it, and Jude decided she'd have a one on one conversation with her.

"So how is everything going with my favorite daughter and her new boyfriend of two months?" Jude said with an artificial sweetened coat of kindness.

"Mom, don't beat around the bush what is it you wanna know?" Jess asked looking up from her book suspiciously.

"Honey, I'm not blind. You're father I'm not so sure, but me, no. You and Tanner had sex yesterday, am I right?" Jude asked getting rid of the sugar coating.

"Mom! How could you come out and just ask that?" Jess exclaimed putting the book down.

"Am I right? I am right, aren't I?" Jude said again, giving her daughter a mother's most threatening stare.

"Well yeah, but-"

"Nuh uh, I'm right, you were caught end of story, now to my next question. He did use a condom, right?" Jude asked, playing her protective mother card.

"Yes, he did," Jess answered defeatedly.

"Good, so I can be sure that my 3 week old son isn't an uncle and your father and I don't win the world's youngest grandparents award?" Jude asked sarcastically.

"Yes, it's practically impossible for me to get pregnant. I've actually been on the pill for about a month now," Jess said matter of factly.

"What?" Jude asked her tone very shock filled.

"Not because I've been having sex Mom! I was just getting sick of getting my period monthly and thought I'd shorten it down to only once every three months," Jess answered, Jude releasing a sigh of release.

"So this was your first time, correct?" Jude asked once again playing the protective mother card.

"Yes, Mom. It was, did I not get the memo that we were scheduled to play twenty questions about my first time?" Jess said looking around as Jude just threw a pillow at her.

"Sorry, must've miss sent that one. But anyways, so, how was it?" Jude asked suddenly becoming very nosy.

"I can't believe we're really having this conversation. It was, I don't know what you want me to say. It was painful at first?" Jess said, her eye brows tangled in a mess of doubt.

"Ok, well that's expected, what else? Was it good? Bad? Disappointing?" Jude asked, she may be a mother, but she just felt like she needed to know.

"Mom, do I really need to be having this conversation with you?" Jess asked, her uncomfort finally setting in on Jude.

"Alright, alright. I'll back off," Jude said as she grabbed the remote and turned on the TV while Jess went back to her book.

A few moments passed, Jess had turned the page of her book and Jude was flipping through channels every two seconds. Jess flipped another page, smirking behind her book at her mother's fidgeting just because she hadn't told her.

"All I'm asking is for a one worded-"

"It was good, ok Mom? It was a good first time sex," Jess said as she went back to her book continued to read, leaving Jude to do a small victory dance, very quietly shouting "Good first time sex, good first time sex!"

A few hours later, Tommy arrived home to see his two favorite 'angelic' girls sleeping on the couch, one with her head in a book and the other her head on a pillow with her arm draped over the couch. Tommy set Derek down for a moment and grabbed the digital camera and took a picture of each of them, silently chuckling to himself. He grabbed an already prepared bottle of formula for Derek and warmed it up. Derek was the splitting image of Tommy, his dark brown hair, except for one thing. His eye color. They were the smokey enigmatic blue that Jude's had, and Tommy loved them even more. Derek was just lying down in his car seat, playing with the baby keys that Tommy had given him, he giggled every time a new one touched his nose.

Jess woke up to her little brother's giggles and smiled. He had this small little cute baby laugh that just made anyone smile and want to giggle along with him. Jess got up and walked into the kitchen and turned the car seat towards her so Derek was facing her.

"Hey you soon to be heart breaker. Aren't you just the newest hottie of sand box?" Jess said to her little brother in a teasing voice. Derek's eyes were focused on the ceiling, he started to point and laughed at the shadow that was on the ceiling.

"Aww, you're just in that phase where everything is funny aren't ya? I'll tell you what, find something funny about me and then we'll talk," Jess said. Derek just kept laughing at the ceiling and Jess did a small giggle and looked over at her father who had tested the formula and made sure it was ready.

"He pointed at the radio while driving home and decided it was hysterical," Tommy commented as he fed his son.

"Eh, that's one of the cutest stage for a little baby," Jess said relaxing in the chair.

"You feeling better?" Tommy asked, making sure Derek was steadily drinking and not drowing himself in his own milk.

"Yeah, I still get small head aches from time to time. And yes, I do lie down and just close my eyes whenever I start to feel dizzy. The pain killers the doctor's got me on for those head aches sure do work fast though," Jess said resting her head on her hand.

"Yeah well, you got about another few days until you can go back to the studio, that should be exciting," Tommy added while wiping the side of his son's small mouth.

"Yeah, and then I'm off to California for college. I'm going to miss you guys a lot, especially this little tyke," Jess said as Derek grabbed on to her pinky and kept squeezing it while drinking his milk.

"Well would ya look at that, the little guy is a natural at multi tasking," Jess said with a smile.

"Well he drained that bottle fast. He's got you and your mother's appetite that's for sure," Tommy said as he carefully lifted Derek in his arms after placing a rag on his shoulder, readying Derek for his next couple burps.

"Hey! It's not my fault mom and I have a naturally fast metabolism. Just because we don't have to worry that much about what we eat doesn't mean we have big appetites," Jess rebutted with a big grin.

"I'm really starting to wonder which side the metabolism thing came from, your grandpa's or grandma's," Tommy said as Derek burped on the rag.

"I'm thinking Grandpa's. He so thin and don't tell anyone you heard this from me Dad, but Grandma does seem to have added on a few more extra pounds," Jess said as Jude walked into the kitchen just smirking at their conversation.

"The metabolism convo again? Gosh Tommy, just swallow your jealousy and get over the fact that you're going to be the old fat one and we're going to be the thin elders," Jude said, emphasizing on 'thin elders' with dramatic effect.

"Add Derek to your list, he drank his whole bottle in under 5 minutes," Tommy said as Derek burped once again. "Besides, you guys may have the naturally fast metabolism, but I have the naturally toned body,"

"Ew Dad, too much information," Jess said grimacing at the thought of her father shirtless.

"Oh calm down, you should be glad your Dad is hot and not an old fart," Jude said with sarcasm.

"Not when my friends are the ones saying 'If only Tommy Q wasn't your father,' making me the one to grab them napkins to wipe up their drool," Jess said with sarcasm.
