Jessie rolled off the bed and put on a beautiful sundress for the baby shower. Sara looked her up and down, admiring the way the dress made her look.
"Are you sure we don't have any more time?" Sara said making Jessie laugh. Jessie walked out into the living room and started decorating, "So is that a no?" Sara yelled from the bedroom.
"Get your ass out here and help me decorate!" Sara laughed and came out into the living room. For the next couple hours, they decorated the apartment the best they could. The doorbell rang as they put the final touches on the decorations.
"Come-" Jessie started to yell, but Sara ran over to the door and opened it, revealing the one and only, Drew Gehling.
"Drew!" Sara hugged him, "please, come in!" Drew smiled and shut the door behind him.
"Hey, Jessie! We've missed you at Joe's Pie Diner."
"I miss you guys too, but I know Sara is doing an amazing job as Jenna," Jessie walked over to Sara and kissed her on the lips softly, "You know what else she'll do an amazing job at? Being a mom." Sara smiled,
"You'll be an even better mom." More and more people arrived at their apartment and the baby shower started. They played a few baby games and cut the cake, before opening the tons of gifts. They had received so many gifts, ranging from diapers to toys to more furniture. Once the final gift had been opened, the party died down and the guests started to leave. Drew stayed behind to help clean up.
"Drew, it's okay, you can go. I think we can handle it. We'll clean up at some point." Sara said while loading the dishwasher. The apartment wasn't that messy but Drew liked the company, he didn't like being in his apartment alone.
"We all know Jessie isn't going to help."
"He's right," Jessie mumbled from the couch while stuffing her face with cake. She looked like a baby on its first birthday, cake covered her face.
"See, told you," Drew laughed as him and Sara cleaned up the entire apartment. When they were finished, the place was cleaner than it was before the party.
"Is there any more cake?" Jessie asked after licking her plate clean. She had eaten most of the cake, but no one could blame her. She was eating for three and the cake was utterly delicious. Drew kept trying to find reasons to stay,
"Have you guys packed Jessie's hospital bag yet? I could help you do that. I could pick out cute baby outfits for them." Neither Jessie or Sara knew why he didn't want to leave. Jessie went back into their bedroom to change.
"Sara, can you come here for a second?" Jessie called while changing into sweatpants. Sara joined Jessie in their bedroom. "Have you noticed how strange Drew's been acting lately?" Jessie whispered, making sure Drew couldn't hear their conversation. Sara nodded,
"Do you have any clues to why?" Sara had some ideas in her head. She thought that maybe Drew had feelings for Jessie, they did have to make out eight times a week for almost a year. Sara shook her head at the thought, causing her to earn a look of curiosity from Jessie.
"Whatcha thinking about?" Jessie asked as she sat down on their bed.
"Do you think, this is probably crazy, but, do you think it's possible that Drew has feelings for you?" Sara didn't know what she'd do if Drew did have feelings for her fiance. She liked and trusted Drew, now she wasn't so sure about him. She liked how close Jessie and him were, but what if he was planning on making a move? Jessie laughed at Sara's accusation,
"Drew? Him and me?" Jessie laughed again, "There's no way. First of all, he could do so much better than me, and second, of all, why would he have waited until I'm engaged to show me his feelings? Wouldn't it have been easier to tell me earlier?"
"Maybe he just realized his feelings. Maybe he felt them during Waitress but thought it was all part of being Dr. Pomatter. If he did know, maybe he didn't want to make things complicated." Jessie nodded and pushed herself off the bed, she was going to find out for herself what was going on. She marched into the living room where Drew was seated on the couch, watching a basketball game. Jessie sat down in the chair next to the couch and cleared her throat to get his attention.
"Oh hey Jess, I didn't notice you come in and sit down."
"Reminds me of when I'd come home to Andy." Jessie tried to laugh, but that subject was still a little sore for her. He treated her like she was nothing more than trash on the ground, while Sara treated her like a queen. Jessie smiled, realizing that if it hadn't been for Andy being such a jackass, then her and Sara would never gotten together.
"So can I help you pack your hospital bag? I helped my cousin do it once, so I know what to pack," Drew looked directly at Jessie, his eyes filled with plead.
"Yeah, you can, but there's something I'd like to talk to you about." Drew almost started freaking out, but he kept his cool.
"Uh yeah sure, what's up?"
"I noticed you've been acting kinda weird lately, not like your usual self. Is there anything that you'd like to talk about or tell me?" Jessie mentally prayed that Drew didn't have feelings for her. That would only complicate things even more, and the last thing her and Sara needed was something making things complicated. Drew didn't say anything, he just sat there, looking down at his hands in his lap. "Drew, you know you can tell me anything."
"It's just… I've been really lonely. I hate being at my apartment because it just reminds me of how alone I am, I haven't had a girlfriend in years! When I was little, I also pictured that by now, I'd be married or at least engaged."
"Is there any special lady you have in mind?" Jessie bit her inner cheek, waiting for his response.
"No, no, there's no one."
"Oh thank god, Sara thought you wanted to be here all the time because you had a crush on me. Thank you for telling me what's going on, though. I'm glad you really like and trust me." Jessie already had a plan in mind, she knew what she had to do to help her friend. "You can come here as often as you'd like, just make sure you text me first. I wouldn't want you walking in on us doing stuff," Jessie winked at Drew, causing him to fake gag.
"We-" Jessie was cut off by Drew screaming.
"LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU," Drew covered his ears. Jessie laughed at the sight and slowly got back on her feet. She motioned for Drew to follow her down the hallways into the nursery. He got up and ran into the nursery like a little kid on Christmas morning.
"Sara? Do you want to help pack the hospital bag?" Jessie heard Sara squeal with excitement from the bedroom. Sara grabbed the duffle bags that they had ordered and brought them into the nursery. Drew noticed the tape covering embroidered words on the side of the bags.
"Why is there tape on the bag?" He asked as he reached over and tried to take it off. Jessie smacked his hand away,
"Don't you dare, we got the baby names embroidered on the bags and we don't want anyone knowing the names yet." Drew nodded and unzipped the first bag for the baby boy. First, they packed some diapers and wipes, followed by the clothes. Sara and Drew each took turns picking out outfits for him. Jessie had the final decision for what went in the bag. Drew held up a onesie that said "Drink Bottles, Date Models" and Sara held up one that said "If you wake me, mom will cut you" Both earned a laugh from Jessie,
"Put then both in there, that's too hard to choose," Jessie couldn't stop laughing at Sara's, "where did we even get that?"
"I think it was a gift from the baby shower." They put two more outfits for the baby boy in there and moved on to the baby girl. Sara held up a onesie that said "the snuggle is real" and Drew held up one that said "if you can eat in public, so can i"
"Let me guess," Drew said while folding his onesie, "both in the bag?" Jessie laughed and nodded. She couldn't decide between anything for the babies. Everything was so tiny and adorable. They finished putting clothes in the bags and double checked that they had everything.
"You know you need a bag for your stuff too right?" Drew reminded them.
"Thank god you're here Drew, I would have gotten to the hospital and had to make a shirt out of baby onesies." Jessie and Sara went into their bedroom and started packing some of Jessie's clothes. Drew stood in the doorway and waited for permission to come in,
"Yes Drew, you can come in here," Jessie said after catching a glimpse of him standing in the doorway. Drew smiled and ran into the room. He got up onto the bed and started jumping.
"Drew!" Sara laughed, "what are you doing?"
"Preparing you to have two little kids!" Drew kept jumping on the bed while Jessie and Sara packed. After Jessie's bag was finished, Sara packed a smaller bag for herself since she'd be spending as much time at the hospital with Jessie as possible. When all four bags were packed, Drew offered to stay overnight, just in case Jessie's water broke. She was getting closer and closer to her due date and she was getting ready to pop. Sara politely declined his offer and Drew finally left their apartment. Sara let out a sigh of relief as she fell back onto the bed, ready to cuddle up and fall asleep.
"What are we going to do with him?" Sara asked Jessie as she climbed under the covers. Jessie joined her in bed,
"I actually was thinking we could surprise him with something. Something to make him less lonely."
"What were you thinking about getting him?"
"A puppy!" Sara thought about it for a while before finally giving in.
"I think we can do that. You're so sweet, Jess."
"Let's go get one right now! He can stay with us until we give him to Drew!" Jessie really wanted a puppy, not only for Drew, but she wanted one for herself as well.
"How do you know it's gonna be a boy? And baby, we can't go right now, it's getting late. We can go tomorrow to the shelter and look?" Jessie smiled and nodded. She was so excited to go visit the dogs, she was hoping that she might be able to convince Sara into letting them take one home too. Jessie knew it was going to take a lot of convincing to get Sara to let them get a dog, especially since the twins were due any day now. Sara set her phone alarm for seven in the morning, way before she had to head to the theater for Waitress. After the alarm was set, the two cuddled up and fell asleep.
