She walked in to Sully's for the first time in weeks and saw him sitting at the bar. His shoulders slumped, his head down. She took a deep breath, exhaling softly before she walked across to him. She could feel the sadness radiating off of him, the feeling that he had simply given up. She felt awful for what he was going through, wishing there was something she could do to make it all go away. Wishing for the words to make it all all right.

"Hey Eddie." Hannah sat down next to him, at the bar. Sully's empty, the lull right before the night crowd wandered in.

"Hey." He grumbled, the burger in front of him untouched, peeling the label off his bottle of beer. She had gone to Gelson first, wanting to check in and see if he was ok. She and Phil chatted for a bit, mostly about Eddie's state of mind. Hannah avoided any questions about Janet and the who, what, where and why of it all. For a while she heard stories of Eddie being an asshole, getting drunk and into fights and then she heard nothing, like Eddie fell off the face of the earth all together. The guys even kept their distance. They really didn't know what was going on, just that he and Janet were off again and she fled to Providence for some space. What they did know was that Eddie Latekka was a mess. An angry, belligerent, broken hearted mess and there was nothing any of them could do about it.

"It's been a few weeks, I haven't heard from you. So I wanted to see if you were ok, Phys told me where to find you." Hannah waved at Sully, who pulled her a draft and placed it down in front of her.

"Yeah. I am fine I guess." He answered quickly and then became pensive. "I mean no, no I am not fine. I miss her Hannah. But there is not much we can do about it can we. She's really gone and I think its for good." Hannah rested her hand on his shoulder.

Janet was gone for nearly two months. Two long awful months. Eddie had gone into a self imposed hiding, he had cut back on the drinking and the time spent at Sully's. Being there without Janet was a constant reminder that she was gone. Work kept his busy, opting to do much of the manual labor on his own, leaving nick to manage the office. He liked getting to bang and hammer out all his anger. The dirt and the demo, and then finishing up, making it all fresh and new. It was something he had complete control over. All the days began to blend into the next, always waiting for Jessie to call again or Janet to come home. Always waiting but it never happened.

"She sent me an email today." Eddie's eyes widened and his heart began to beat faster. It was the first communication Janet had sent Hannah. When she opened her email this morning and saw Janet's name she actually cried. "It was short, just that she was fine and happy. It was from a new email address. I replied and told her everything but I don't know if or when she will check it." Eddie turned cold.

"Did she even ask about me?" He could tell from the look on Hannah's face that she didn't.

"I asked Ray again, I know he knows something but he just isn't saying." Eddie's face hardened at the sound of Ray's name.

"Because he is a spiteful SOB."

"Yeah, but I think its also because he is trying to do right by Jessie and Janet. I mean If only we had Jessie's last freaking name."

"McMullen." Sully yelled out, as he dried pint glasses.

"What?" Eddie and Hannah said in unison, unable to hide their shock.

"Jessie's last name is McMullen. She married some rich sorry son of a bitch who used to hit her." Sully said bitterly. Eddie and Hannah looked at each other, their eyes wide. They never thought to ask Sully. "She lives in Chelsea now, I think. Why?"

"Janet is with her." Sully flung the towel over his shoulder a perplexed look on his face as he made his way over to them. He had met Jessie a handful of times over the years and they took an instant like to one another. She always remember his birthday, and sent him a box full of New York bagels every year. He thought of her and Janet like they were one of his own, he even had their picture in his office.

"I thought she was in Providence. Helping the grandparents."

"No she is with Jessie in NY." Hannah answered, shaking her head.

"Well ain't that something. Wait a minute, you guys didn't know where she was... all this time?" Sully was realizing there was much more to this story. "No wonder…"

"No, its complicated." Eddie answered, throwing his money on the bar. "Sul what did Janet tell you, when she left?"

"I told ya, just that you two broke up and she was going to Providence to help her grandparents, I mean that's what she said. and what I have been telling everyone. Wait, Janet is ok isn't she?" Hannah looked at Eddie wondering if he was going to tell him the truth.

"Sully, she is having a baby, my baby. But the whole Rooster thing…" Anger bubbled up in Sully, if he never heard the name Rooster again it would be to soon.

"That sorry son of a bitch, taking advantage…"

"He didn't really.. They didn't. he lied to break us up." A smile spread across his face.

"If I would have known you guys were looking for her…"

"I know Sully, I didn't even think you knew Jessie."

"Yeah of course I know her Eddie, since they were kids actually. She and Janet are like my own. I knew their parents for years and years when they used to visit the grandparents. And Jessie has been back here a few times over the years. Hannah remember that night, she slapped Ray" Hannah cracked a smile, remembering the sheer look of shock on his face, as the sound of the slap echoed thru the bar.

"That was a great night, it was Janet's twenty first birthday, they next day they went to Mexico." Hannah laughed out, remembering that night made her miss Janet so much more.

"Wait Jessie is the girl that slapped Ray?" Eddie asked, hearing about the story through the grapevine.

"Yup. It was awesome." Hannah said proudly.

"We gotta go Sully and thanks for the information." He finally had a shred of information that would bring him that much closer to Janet and his baby.

"Now we just need to find her address." Hannah said putting on her Jacket.

"I have it. In my office. She sent me a Christmas card last year. I have it somewhere. Give me a minute."

"Holy crap Eddie, I mean all this time and SULLY had all the answers."

"Why didn't we ask him? I mean he knew Janet was gone, he knew we broke up in a way but I never thought to tell him the truth..." Eddie and Hannah decided to let everyone think that Janet was in Providence, it was easier then explaining the truth. Less painful for Eddie and he hoped it would make this less strange if and when she came back.

"Here you go..." Sully returned with her address written on a post it. "I don't have her phone number here at the bar but..." Hannah wrapped sully in a big hug and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"Sully you are the BEST!" She laughed and took the post it while Eddie just smiled.

"I wouldn't want to call anyway, she might take off again. I am leaving tonight Hannah."

"I know, give me a half hour, I will take Sam over to Nick's and we can get on the road."

"Jessie come on we are going to be late! The movie starts in like 20 minutes" Janet looked herself over in the mirror, she was popping that was for sure and her boobs were getting bigger by the day. She felt great though, her first trimester went fairly easy despite all the stress and sadness. The loneliness of missing Eddie, the wondering what might have been. She tried everyday to start fresh, to push the thoughts of Eddie all the way to the back of her mind and move forward. She loved being in New York, away from the Ridge. It was nice blending, being unseen, unknown. To be in a place where she was not gossip fodder, where she could put the Janet the Planet stigma behind her. She loved being so close to Jessie. It was like they were kids all over again, before their parents died and everything went to hell. They were always stronger together and Janet sensed that Jessie needed her around Just as much as Janet needed to be there .She had gotten a job temping at Jessie's firm a few days a week, she found a favorite deli for breakfast in the morning, and even mastered the subway system.

"Ok, I am ready lets get a move on kiddo." Jessie rubbed her hand over Janet's belly and smiled as they walked out the door. She had tried for weeks to get Janet to go back to the Ridge and work things out with Eddie, but Janet would not budge. And then they fell into a nice routine. Jessie was happy to have her sister back into her daily life, realizing how much she needed her sister. When Janet announced that she was staying put until the baby was born and she knew for sure who the father was Jessie couldn't bring herself to put up too much of a protest.

"What time is it?" Janet asked anxiously

"Its 10 to 12, Janet I highly doubt there is going to be a mad rush to watch a midnight show of On the freaking Waterfront. I know you have a thing for this movie but we are going to get a seat. It's only two blocks away" Janet press the down button on the elevator, over and over until Jessie grabbed her hand. "Would you relax, Jesus."

"It's a great movie and you know it. I don't want to miss the beginning" Janet thought about Eddie everyday, and when she saw On the Waterfront, their movie was showing she knew she had to see it on the big screen. They rode in the elevator in silence. Janet chewed on her thumbnail. She has this nervous energy that she couldn't shake all day.

Eddie and Hannah walked into the lobby of Jessie's building, they had driven six long hours straight through to get there. I t was just before midnight and Eddie couldn't wait to see her. The idea that Janet was finally so close was making it impossible to focus. Hannah saw them first, standing in front of the elevator, in the middle of what looked like an argument. Jessie and Hannah locked eyes and a huge smile spread across Jessie's face.

"Janet did you bring a sweater, its going to be cold in the theater and that tank top is not going to cut it."

"It will be fine lets just go." Janet crossed her arms against her chest, knowing that Jessie was right but wanting to see the movie more.

"No Janet cause you are gonna get cold and pull the I'm having a baby card and I will be forced to give you MY sweater and then I am going to freeze, lets just go back up and get YOU A FREAKING SWEATER."

"Jesus Jessie, no its fine I just want to go... I don't want to miss the FREAKING movie... I bet we won't get a good seat as it is…What in the hell are smiling about?"

"Janet, I want you to take a deep breath and turn around for me ok."

"Jessie what are you talking about?"

"Just for once do what I tell you."

Janet looked at Jessie like she had six heads, she took a deep breath and turned around. Stunned when her eyes locked with his.
