Weeks later following the events between Sam and Jessica, Jessica was more happier than ever. School was fine, her job was great but dangerous, and she knew who both her parents were. She hated that she had to keep that secret from her mom though. That was the down side to her happy side. She would tell her mom when the time was right but for it was for the best. One morning Jessica was in her room dancing to one of her favorite songs "Bye Bye Love" by the Backstreet Boys getting ready for her day off with mom. Then Jules came in the room all dressed and ready and smiled at her daughter. This made Jessica stop dancing and turn off the music.

"You seem very happy today." Jules said

"Why wouldn't I be? I have the day off with my mom. What else could I need?" Jessica said

"Yeah about that. Steve is coming with us on our day off. So I was thinking if you wanted to invite Jayden we could make it a double date?" Jules asked

Jessica then had that in tense look on her face when her mom brought her new boyfriend. She knew her parents weren't together anymore but it hurt her to see her with someone else. She was happy her mom was happy but still it was just not her parents together. So she had to be more happier at least she could spend time with her boyfriend Jayden.

"Yeah that would sound great. I'll give him a call." Jessica answered

"Great I'll see you downstairs."

Jules went downstairs and Jessica closed the door to her room. She got out her cell phone and called Jayden to see if he could come.

"Hello" Jayden answered over the phone

"Hey babe it's me." Jessica said

"Hi what's up?"

"Are you free today?"

"Sure I am. Why do you ask?"

"Well my mom is going out with her boyfriend on our day off so she was thinking if you came along with me it could be like a double date."

"That would sound fine but your really going along with hanging out with her new boyfriend?"

"What choice do I have?"

"She doesn't know about the truth about you and Sam does she?"

"No she doesn't. I don't want her to know yet."

Besides her and Sam the only other person who knew they were father and daughter was Jayden. Jessica could always tell things to her boyfriend because he could always keep her secret without telling anyone.

"I know but she has the right to know at some point." Jayden said

"Yes but for now it's not the right time. So me, my mom, and her boyfriend are coming to pick you up now" Jessica said

"Sounds good. Love you."

"Love you too bye"

Jessica hung up the phone before letting out a tear in her eye. What was going to happen if her mom found out the truth? She couldn't think about that now. She grabbed her bag and went downstairs to meet up with her mom. Then they left the house to meet up with their boyfriends.

~Flashpoint~

The two couples walked around the streets for a while then spotted an ice cream truck. They all got their ice cream and went on walking towards the mini shops.

"Thank you. I can't believe you remember that." Jules said

"What are you kidding me? You singing 'Everybody Hurts'? I couldn't talk my eyes off you." Steve said

"How good of a singer was my mom?" Jessica asked

"Really good. She could have gone pro with her band." Steve said

"I don't think so" Jules said

"Okay I got a confession to make. Your best show was at a graduation party on the roof at midnight?"

"What?"

Jessica then had that tense look on her face and then looked at her boyfriend. Did Steve know about that night and didn't tell her mom about it?

"You just got dumped by Curtis and took your guitar up on the roof and made this gentle song." Steve said

"You were up there?" Jules asked

"I'm sorry. It's just after that I felt like I knew you."

Jessica then held Jayden's hand in sadness. Then Jules looked at her daughter and then held her hand.

"What's wrong honey?" Jules asked

"Nothing is wrong. The ice cream is giving me a headache." Jessica said

Jessica then looked at Steve for a while then heard a gun shot from a distant. Then the four of them went towards the Sultan Grill where the shot were fired. Jules then got out her cell phone and called the SRU.

"Winnie it's Jules." Jules said

"Oh hi hows your day off?" Winnie asked over the phone

"I got shots fired inside the Sultan Grill."

"Are you and Jessica alright?"

"Yeah."

"Is the shooter still inside?"

"I can't see inside."

Steve looked inside and saw someone shot on the ground inside the place.

"Someone is shot in there. I have to get inside." Steve said

"No that would not be the best idea." Jessica said

"Jules! Jessica! Hang tight we're coming!" Sam yelled over the phone

Steve just went inside as well as Jules, Jessica, and Jayden. Now they were held hostage in the place. The only hope they had and with the other hostages was waiting for the SRU to come.

~Flashpoint~

Later when the SRU came they found out that the subject was schizophrenic. This was going to be tough taking down someone who can see things that are not there. When trying to catch him Steve got shot in the process.

"Oh my God. Steve." Jules said

"Get back all of you! Hands above your head!" Davis yelled

Then the waitress above her head. The subject thought that she was carrying a bomb on her.

"I know you're afraid right now, Davis-" Jules said

"We have to bind her hands and feet to prevent the bomb from exploding."

"She's not going to hurt you." Jessica said

Then Davis pointed the gun at Jessica in angry. This made Jules upset that the subject was going to hurt her daughter.

"She's got a bomb are you blind?" Davis yelled

Then Jayden then attack Davis from firing the gun at her.

"Don't you dare hurt her!" Jayden yelled

They were struggling for a while till Davis hit Jayden over the head with the gun knocking him out cold.

"Jayden!" Jessica yelled

Then Davis saw all the hostages were turning on him and of them threw a vase at him. All of the sudden Sam comes from out of no where and stops this madness.

"Everybody drop your weapons and go back to where you were! It's alright buddy you can stand down I got this are of operations contained! Go back to where you now all of you! Do it now!" Sam yelled

Jules and Jessica were in relief now that Sam was the room containing the situation.

"Who are you?" Davis asked

"I'm Sam Braddock with the Special Forces. I'm here to help"

He took out his dogtags and Jules noticed that there's only one of them attached to his neck. He used to have two on his neck. What Jules didn't know was Jessica had the other one on her neck but she hid it under her shirt.

"You knew that this place was a front for terrorist?"

"Sam don't lie to him. He's prone to lies." Greg said over the mic

Then Sam had an idea and looked at both Jules and Jessica to get a sense of what to do. Jules got up slowly while Jessica kneeled down so he could trip the subject over when it was ready.

"I know what it's like to be afraid. I served to tours in Afghanistan. I know what's like walking down the street wondering if their going to strike again. You feel helpless like your never going to be safe. That's what they want. All of us to live in a state of fear."

"Yeah that's why we got to fight back. You know about the operation-"

Jules then grabbed the gun and Jessica tripped the subject while Sam pinned him down. Sam got out his cuffs and arrested the subject.

"What are you doing? You lied to me! You lied to me!" Davis yelled

"I didn't lie. Subject in custody." Sam said

Everyone was in relief that everything was safe now. Sam then look at his daughter and notice she the tap of the chest thing he did with his dogtags. She was telling him 'Thank you for keeping me safe.' Sam nodded and looked at Jules.

"Thank you." Jules said

Sam nodded and looked at Steve who was badly shot and Jayden who was still knocked out.

"EMS! We need EMS in here now!" Sam yelled over the mic

Then the officers from outside and helped all the hostages out safe and the EMS doctors took Steve and Jayden away to different trucks. Jessica was going to go with Jayden to the hospital but before she did she ran towards Sam and hugged him so tight.

"Thank you so much." Jessica said

"No problems. Go with Jayden me and your mom got it from here." Sam said

"Okay."

Jessica went and gave her mom a hug before heading into the EMS truck to take Jayden to the hospital.

~Flashpoint~

Later Team One learned that the subject's social worker was setting him up to take the fall. He made Davis made a bomb to take to the place where he thought was a front for terror operations. They made it too late cause he set off the bomb and he was killed but everyone else was going to be fine. Jules made it to the hospital to meet up with Jessica to see how Steve and Jayden were doing. She found her daughter in one of the rooms with Jayden. Jessica looked and saw her mom and went outside to see her.

"What's up with the guys?" Jules asked

"Well Jayden has a concussion but it's not too serious. They want to keep him over night to make sure there no complications. Steve took the bullet in the stomach and he lost a lot of blood. They did get the bullet out and he's going to be fine. However he will he need to stay here for one to two days just to make sure he doesn't bleed out from the surgery." Jessica said

"Well that's good. Where's Steve in?"

"He's in the room next door to Jayden's."

Jules went to the room next door and waited till Steve woke up.

"Hey. How are you feeling?" Jules asked

"Better now. Can I just say something?" Steve asked

"Sure."

"The last few months. I've been doing a lot of thinking. Just about the big picture."

"Yeah I have too."

"What I'm guessing is our big pictures aren't the same. Because your mine but I don't think I'm in yours."

Jules then started crying because he was right

"It's okay. There's no regrets. Listen there's something I need to tell you. Something I should have told you eighteen years ago." Steve said

Jules looked at him in a confused look. She didn't understand what was going on.

"What do you mean?" Jules asked

"Remember how you got pregnant with Jessica after the party and you never knew who her father was?"

"Yeah but I don't think about that anymore. I've done fine so far without her real father's help. Whoever he is."

"Well I know there are few people who do know who her father is including me."

Jules looked at him in shock and got up from her seat pacing around

"Your lying!" Jules yelled

"I'm not lying." Steve said

"How do you know who he is and who knows who he is?"

"For a while it's been me, your past friend Amanda, and a few other our classmates."

"Your telling me you guys knew who my daughter's father was and you guys never came forward about it? Why did you guys tell me? I didn't remember anything!"

"That was because your Curtis messed around with the drinks."

Jules looked at Steve in shock

"You're saying Curtis is Jessica's father?" Jules asked in shock

"No he's not her father." Steve said

"Then who is?"

"I can't say who."

"Why not?"

"Because someone who found out about the pregnancy paid us to keep our silence but Amanda broke that silence months ago."

"What do you mean?"

"Amanda called me and said Jessica came by and told her the whole story even who her father was. She just didn't tell her about the pay outs."

Jules then started to cry

"You're saying Jessica knows and never bother to tell me?" Jessica cried

"Yes" Steve said

"Okay the last things I want to know is who paid for your guys silence and who is Jessica's father?"

"I can't say any of those things."

Jules then went up to his bed in anger

"Why not?" Jules yelled

"Because if he finds out he would ruin our lives. I bet he already ruined Amanda's life already by having Jessica at her house. He could also go after Jessica because she already knows who her father is. She must have investigated everything." Steve said

Jules then left Steve's room and went towards Jayden's room. Jessica saw her mom in a pissed off mood and approached her.

"Can I talk to you alone?" Jules asked

"Sure" Jessica said

Jessica went outside to talk to her mom. She could tell her mom has been crying for a while.

"Oh my god mom what's wrong? Did Steve break up with you? I'll kill him!" Jessica asked in rage

"No I broke up with him but that's not what I was about to ask. When were you going to tell me about your father?" Jules asked

Jessica felt her heart drop to her stomach. Now she was in big trouble.

"HOW LONG HAVE YOU'VE KNOWN ABOUT THIS?" Jules yelled in rage

Jessica then started to cry from her mother's reactions

"For about a few months now." Jessica cried

"You met up with my friend Amanda and she told you who he was?" Jules asked

"She didn't know who he was but I figured it out who he was. She told me everything from the drinks to the sex with the unknown man."

"You know who he is?"

"Yes I do"

Jules then looked her daughter in the eye and was filled with rage.

"Who is he?" Jules asked

"I can't tell you." Jessica said

"WHY THE HELL NOT?"

"Mom calm down we're in a hospital."

"Calm down? I slept with a guy on the roof of my friend's graduation party and don't remember a single thing! Steve told me that Curtis messed with the drinks so that part I get but I still have dreams of what could have happened that night. Was I raped?"

"No you weren't. The guy that met up with you didn't know about the drugs in the drinks. You were both victims."

"Jessica you have to tell who he is!"

"If I tell you who he is it'll make things worse."

"It's already worse."

"What do you mean?"

"The people who know about that night including Steve were paid to keep their silence. If they told anyone who her father was or if the father found out on his own he would come after you."

Jessica then thought about this for a minute. This was a matter of life and death for her. Can she tell her mom who her father was and ruin the relationship her mother and father have with one another or keep it a secret and make sure everything is kept in place as it should be. She thought about it and made her decision.

"I'll take my chances. I won't say who he is. If it means keeping everyone safe who knows about it even you I'll make sure of it." Jessica said

"But honey keeping this from me is not going to fix anything. The team can have a protection detail on you and everyone else." Jules said

"Really? Then tell me what happened to Amanda?"

Jules was silent on that because she knew something happened to Amanda

"Yeah that's what I thought." Jessica said

"Tell me who he is or I won't allow you back home. You'll stay at Sam's house until I figure this all out." Jules ordered

Jessica was given a choice now. How could her mom do this to her? She was scared she got it but in doing this Jessica was trying to keep everyone safe and Jules did not want to lose her daughter.

"Then I'm staying at Sam's for a while." Jessica said

Jessica then ran off towards the exit. Jules then punched the wall and started crying. What could she do? All she wanted was some answer and keep Jessica safe. She knew that this was the best thing until whoever was doing this was brought to justice.

~Flashpoint~

Sam has just got back from hanging out with Spike and Wordy. He pulled up to parking lot of his apartment complex and parked his car. He climbed out of his car and went inside the building. When he reach his place he saw Jessica crying near his door step. He notice that she a suitcase with her. Sam ran towards his daughter and sat next to her.

"Jess what happened?" Sam asked

Jessica only cried harder. She must have been in a through hell to put her in a mood like this.

"Honey please tell me what's wrong?" Sam asked

"I made a huge mistake." Jessica cried

"What do you mean?"

"Finding out you that you are my father."

"Why would think that is a mistake?"

"Because someone wanted it that way."

Sam took Jessica inside his place and they both sat on the couch together.

"What's going on Jessica?" Sam asked

"Mom found out." Jessica said

Sam had that shock look on his face

"No she doesn't know you're my dad but she found out something that had something to do with it?" Jessica said

"What do you mean?" Sam asked

"Remember when I told about the about the night you guys got pregnant with me?"

"Yeah you told me."

"Well there was something more to it. Some of her classmates including Amanda and Steve were the only ones who knew you two were my parents. Yet someone paid them off to make sure you never found out. If anyone told a word about it he would go after them and me."

Sam looked scare for his life. He would lose it if he lost his daughter. He gave Jessica a tight hug.

"I'm not going to let anything happen to you. I would die for you!" Sam said

"I don't want you to do that. So my mom told me to make a choice tell her who my dad was and get protection from the team or stay with you until she found out who is paying her classmates off." Jessica said

"What did you say?"

"I said that I would stay with you. I didn't want her to find out. So what am I suppose to do now?"

Sam held his daughter while she cried all night. Somewhere out there someone was going after Jules' classmates and Jessica. Jessica knew she couldn't keep this secret forever. Now she was in danger. No matter where she went she was a target from anywhere. She only hoped that she could make it out of this alive for her parent's sake. Sooner later it will be time to face the music.
