HOUR 5 9:PM
MIAMI CRIME LAB MORGUE
Jasmine was dozing on her cot when she jerked awake by a noise in the hall. Glancing to her left she saw Alex sound asleep on her cot. Groaning she pushed the covers down and got up. Rubbing her back she walked to the door and looked out to see Horatio and Rick Stetler talking to each other. Sighing she pushed the door open. "Jasmine? What are you doing up?" Horatio asked.
"Can't sleep. Mr Stetler." Jasmine said.
"Jasmine. Good to see you again." Rick said. Jasmine nodded.
"Dad still awake?" Jasmine asked Horatio.
"Yeah. He's in the break room." Horatio said.
"Thanks." Jasmine said patting his arm and walking away.
Jasmine walked into the break room and seen her dad sitting on the couch reading. "Reading before bed. Our favorite pass time." Jasmine said.
Tim looked up at her and smiled. "What are you doing up?" He asked.
"Your grandchild decided that it slept too long today." Jasmine said coming in and sitting down at the table.
"Have you and Danny thought of any names?" Tim asked.
"A few." Jasmine said as her phone rang.
Pulling the object out of her pocket Jasmine clicked the on button. "Hello?" She said.
"Hey. Listen Maria and Patrick are gonna stay at the house with me. Where are the spare sheets?" Danny asked.
"In the hall closet top shelf." Jasmine said closing her eyes.
"Thanks. So I see the winds whipping. You ok?" Danny asked.
"Yeah. Just tired and achy. Nothing I can't handle. Listen we really need to talk after this Hurricane is all over." Jasmine said.
"Ok." Danny said distracted. Jasmine could hear Patrick in the background.
"Hey Jas? I'm gonna go. We're gonna watch Fast and Furious 4." Danny said.
"How nice. Talk to you later." Jasmine said hanging up and throwing her phone onto the table. And laying her head in her hands sobbing.
Tim got up quickly and pulled her into his arms. "Shhh. It's ok." Tim said.
Jasmine sobbed a few more minutes when Calleigh Frank and Horatio came in. "What's wrong?" Horatio asked.
"We're fixing to find out." Tim said as Jasmine pulled herself together.
"I'm sorry I don't mean to fall apart." Jasmine said.
"It's perfectly fine. My wife did it when she was pregnant with my kids." Frank said sitting down across from her.
"Here you go Sweetie." Calleigh said handing her some water.
"Thanks." Jasmine said drinking it.
"So what did Danny boy do to set you off?" Tim asked.
Jasmine looked down. "Patrick and Maria have been over at our house almost constantly since Danny found out that Patrick is his brother." Jasmine said.
"And they're there now?" Horatio asked.
"Yeah. Don't get me wrong I'm glad that Danny found Patrick. But when your wife feels like the 4th wheel it's time to give her some time." Jasmine said.
"Jasmine are you saying you're not happy?" Frank asked.
"I'm miserable." Jasmine said.
"Oh sweetie." Calleigh said hugging her.
"I'm sorry. I don't mean to put this on every one." Jasmine said standing and walking.
"Hey you're my girl. You can put anything on me." Tim said kissing her head.
"What's going on in here?" Eric asked coming in for a soda.
"Marital woes." Frank said.
"You guys aren't even married and you're fighting?" Eric asked.
"Not us. Jasmine and Danny." Calleigh said slapping Eric's arm.
"Oh. Jas what's wrong?" Eric asked sitting on the couch.
"Nothing that some time and a long talk won't fix. I'm going back to bed." Jasmine said standing.
"Ok." Tim said kissing her head.
"Night." Jasmine said at the door.
"Damnit." Tim said.
"That poor girl." Calleigh said.
"If the weather wasn't so bad I'd go have a talk with Mr Wholesome." Frank said.
"You'd have to step in line." Horatio said.
DANNY/JASMINE'S HOUSE
Danny was laying on the couch watching the weather when something startled him. "Who's there?" He called.
"It's me. Didn't mean to startle you." Maria said coming out of the kitchen.
"It's fine." Danny said switching the tv onto mute.
"It on shore?" She asked.
"Yeah bout an hour ago." Danny said.
"You thinking of Jasmine?" Maria asked.
"Yeah. She sounded off when I talked with her earlier." Danny said.
"Not far before the big day is it?" Maria asked.
"Month. She has the nursery all done." Danny said.
"She's been really good to me and Patrick." Maria said.
"Yeah. I'm glad." Danny said.
"But I think she's a little down." Maria said.
"It's just hormones." Danny said as his cell phone rang.
"Hello?" Danny said.
"Danny." Tim said.
"Pop everything ok?" Danny asked.
"Are you alone?" Tim asked.
"No Maria is sitting here with me. Why?" Danny asked.
Tim sighed. "You really screwed up this time Danny." Tim said.
"What did I do?" Danny asked.
"Danny when in the past 6 months have you taken Jasmine somewhere romantic?" Tim asked.
"A couple weeks ago." Danny said.
"And when was the last time you two did something just the two of you not with Maria and Patrick?" Tim asked.
"I don't remember." Danny said lowering his head.
"There's the problem. Danny I'm glad you found Patrick and so is Jasmine. But she's feeling lonely." Tim said.
"How do you know this?" Danny asked.
"She just spent the last half hour sobbing her eyes out." Tim said.
"Damn." Danny said.
"Yeah. When this storm is over. I want you to take her somewhere romantic." Tim said.
"Alright. Thanks Pop. I had no idea." Danny said.
"Cause she wanted you to enjoy your brother." Tim said.
"And she suffered quietly. Ok I'm gonna come get her when I can and we're going down to the beach." Danny said.
"Good plan. Now I am gonna go take care of my other half. Get some sleep." Tim said.
"Take care of her. And tell her I'm sorry." Danny said.
"I'll do the first part. But you do the second when you come get her." Tim said.
"Will do. Good night." Danny said hanging up.
Maria came back into the living room and sat down. "Let me guess he told you what I had seen. Jasmine feels like the fourth wheel?" Maria asked.
"How did you know?" Danny asked.
"When Carlos and I were first married I became pregnant. This was just after Patrick started school. Carlos was a Bank Manager in Orlando and we met in a town called Yeehaw junction. Well anyways he wanted to make a better name for himself so he went to these big parties and left me with the other "ladies" and did his mingling." Maria said.
"Jerk." Danny said.
"So quick to judge." Maria said.
"Sorry. So how did Carlos change?" Danny asked.
"I lost the baby and he decided I wasn't the perfect wife." Maria said.
"Sorry. Tim told me that Jasmine was crying tonight." Danny said.
"Owie." Maria said.
"Yeah. Sorry I'm going to bed." Danny said standing up.
MIAMI LAB
HALLWAY
Jasmine was walking along the hallway when she felt a rush of wetness run down her leg. "Oh that can't be good." Jasmine said.
"What can't be good?" Frank Tripp asked.
"Uh I think my water just broke." Jasmine said.
