It has been a week since Jules was shot. Now everyone knows the truth about the Jessica and the relationship between Sam and Jules. Since Jules was shot Jessica was staying at Sam's apartment till Jules got out of the hospital. The team has been helping Jessica out more too with her having her own weapon while on the field. Jessica decided she was more needed both in out of the field. She got her own Axon camera so wouldn't have to carry camera in the field. She was really training her butt off to become not only a good photographer/videographer but also a good cop when needed. Now it was a just a nice day seeing Jules at the hospital with Sam and Jessica.

"Okay explain this to me flowers in the hospital? Wow thanks so much! They're so pretty! Now you get leave and I get to sit here and watch them die." Jules said while eating

Sam got up and threw out the dead flowers.

"It's a gesture. It's the thought." Sam said

"Short term thought."

"That's why we got the fake plant, mom. Thinking long term." Jessica said

Now that everyone knew that Jessica was Jules' daughter she started calling Jules her mom. It really made everything easy and happy. Also since Jessica was staying with Sam she started to see him a father even though she never found out who her real father was.

"How long are you guys thinking?" Jules asked

"Well as long as it takes we'll be here." Sam said

Sam and Jessica sat on the bed. Jessica reached out and hugged Jules. Jules returned it.

"Well I don't plan on staying here for very long." Jules said

"Good. That's good. We're missing you back." Sam said

"Oh yeah how bad?"

"Real bad mom." Jessica said

Jules reached out and touched Jessica cheek and then kissed Sam on the cheek.

"Not so bad that the team is not looking for somebody to fill my spot."

"We're running out our recruits today." Sam said

"Anybody good?" Jules asked

"We're down to six." Jessica said

Jules let out a whistle and Jessica laughed at it.

"From?" Jules asked

"From six hundred? So yeah their pretty good." Sam said

It was just a nice time with just the three of them until Jessica cell phone rang. She just smiled big.

"Hey they don't allow cell phones here." Jules said

"Well I have it on silent. I'll be right back." Jessica said

Jessica got up and left the room. Leaving Jules and Sam alone in the room to talk for a while.

"How's she been doing at your place?" Jules asked

"She's been fine. The first few days were rough so I said in the room with here until she falls asleep. She cooks pasta so well that we should have the whole team come over for a pasta dinner. Cleans up well around the house with me. She can really take care of herself." Sam said

"I'm glad. How is the team treating her now that they know she's my daughter?"

"The same but a little bit more protective. Lewis and Spike and take out on Fridays to hang out after work. The Serge is teaching her more about the SRU. Ed is helping her out more at the gun range so she can carry a gun in the field. Wordy always let's her come over to his house and play with the girls. Everyone is treating her like family now. I think that's all she wanted, a family."

"Yeah she's really happy now. I have my daughter back and I'm with you. She really sees you as a father. I'm glad."

"Me too. I love her so much to death. Like a daughter too."

They looked out the window and saw Jessica talking on the phone. She laughed.

"Okay babe. Bye." Jessica said and hung up

Jessica reentered the room and saw confused looks on both Jules and Sam's faces.

"What do you mean babe? Jess is there something you're not telling me?" Jules said

Jessica was in for it but she might as well tell them.

"I was going to tell you on the day you were shot. I really wanted you to meet him-" Jessica started out

"Jessica?" Sam said

"I've been dating this guy from high school for 2 ½ years."

"WHAT?" Jules and Sam said at the same time

"Surprise! Not the reaction I was looking for from you guys."

There was a pause of silence for a moment and then Jules signaled Jessica to come to her bed side.

"Come here and tell me more about him." Jules asked

"Yeah I want to know more too" Sam said

Jessica sat down and started talking.

"His name is Jayden. We met in ninth grade-"

Jessica continued on and on about him and how they me, when was their first date, how loyal they are to each other, how much they love each other, etc.

"That's all I can say. I really love him and really want you to meet him." Jessica said

"Well I'm upset you didn't tell me sooner about you relationship with Jayden. I'll meet him but if he really makes you happy then I'm happy." Jules said

"Yeah me too but if he messes with you he'll have to deal with a Special Forces solider." Sam said

Jessica laughed and hugged both Sam and Jules.

"Thank you and maybe once mom gets out we can all go out on a double date." Jessica said

"Sounds fine." Sam and Jules said together

It turned out to be a nice day with just the three of them. No sadness and now work to bother them. They were acted like a really family for the first time.
