Yay. Finally, Jules is getting out of the psycho hut. (:
Enjoy!
"Dad—Are you seriously already up?" Jessica giggled as she came downstairs after hearing pots smashing into the floor. He chuckled, "I'm just so excited." He said as it was 3:30 am.
"That's exactly what Mom did when you were coming home from the base. She blew up enough breakfast to last a lifetime."
Sam laughed, "Well, I just want her to be happy and comfortable when she gets back. I'm about to head on out actually."
"Okay, Dad. I'll stay here with Alexis and Carly and get them on up and dressed for the day."
Sam nodded as he retreated to his bedroom to get ready to go get Jules.
--------------------------------------------
"Mrs. Braddock, do you want to get on up? It's 4 am." A nurse told her. Jules opened her eyes quickly and dove her feet to the floor carefully, limping over to her bag.
"I can tell you're excited to get home." The nurse giggled.
Jules nodded, "More than anything."
"Well—You made it through the night without waking up."
Jules jerked straight up with a smile on her face, "I did, didn't I?" She was happier than ever as she started to collect her things. The nurse nodded and left her to get dressed to leave.
--------------------------------------------
"Hello Mr. Braddock." The doctor smiled as she came to meet him at the front desk of the psychiatric ward. He smiled and shook her hand, "Hey—I know I'm a few minutes early but I—."
"Don't worry about it. Here's a few forms you need to sign—she's getting packed up now. She should be out in a bit."
Sam nodded, as he knew that he was finally within minutes of seeing her again. Only down a hallway was where all of the patient rooms and meeting rooms for seminars.
When he finished filling out the forms he handed them back to the nurse. "She'll be right out." She told him with a smile as he smiled in reply and took a seat.
Jules came down the hallway with her bag on her arm. Nurses gave her hugs and Dr. Miller gave her a final goodbye, "He's waiting for you." She grinned. Jules smiled and nodded as she headed towards the double doors.
Sam looked up when he heard the security lock on the door snap as it opened. He stood up and smiled, seeing her pause and smile back. He reached out his arms as she ran towards him, dropping her bag in the middle of the room as he lifted her around his waist. "Hey sweetheart." He whispered in her ear as she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. "Sammy." She whispered back wither tears in her eyes as he kissed her gently. All of the doctors and nurses smiled, as they loved seeing people reuniting with their family after treatment. "I missed you so much babe." He told her. She nodded, "I missed you too." He gently placed her on her feet and grabbed her bag over his shoulder.
"Thanks again." Jules smiled to all of the nurses and doctors. They nodded as Sam took her hand and led her out of the ward and towards the elevators.
"I'm so proud of you sweetie." He kissed her cheek as she smiled, "Thanks—But I have to say, I am proud of myself—I didn't think I could do it." Sam nodded, "We all had faith in you." She looked over to him, squeezing his hand as they listened to the elevator beep floor by floor.
When they made their way out to the car, Jules was limping from the awful pain she was still in, so Sam lifted her up on his hip and kissed her gently. She giggled, "I missed you." He nodded and kissed her again, "I missed you more."

"Jules, I wanted to apologize for how I left you that night." He whispered as he drove his truck with her in the passenger seat. She glanced over, "I wanted to thank you though. If I had been awake—I would have never gone through this and I would have never erased these awful memories." Sam smiled over to her and stroked a hand through her hair. "Well then—I'm glad that you got that behind you sweetheart." She nodded, "Me too. I met a lot of really amazing people that got through their problems." At the stoplight Sam leaned over and kissed her lips gently, "That's wonderful sweetie."
"So how are the girls? How's Jessica feeling?"
"They're great. Jessica is feeling well—pregnant, but she's been really helpful. So has Alexis—I kept her home today because I think she just needs to be here. Carly is doing great too. Oh and Jessica has a surprise for you."
Jules smiled brightly, "Thanks for taking such good care of them." Sam nodded and took her hand.
------------------------------------
"Girls—." Sam yelled as he opened the front door to the house. All of a sudden Alexis and Jessica barreled down the stairs, Alexis holding Carly in her arms. "Mom!" They all shouted as Jules wrapped her arms around them gently. "Hey girls—I missed you so, so much." She kissed each of them as Alexis handed her Carly. The baby wrapped her hand around Jules' finger, bringing tears to her eyes. "Hey sweetie." She whispered as she kissed Carly gently.
"How are you girls?" Jules asked with a smile. Both of them nodded, "Great."
Alexis still had no idea about Jessica being pregnant—so Jessica took the happy moment to break the news to her.
"Mom—." Jessica took Jules' hand as she smiled and glanced over to Alexis.
Alexis gave a puzzled looked as Jessica held onto Jules' hand. "Alexis—I think its time to tell you something."
"What?"
Jessica nodded to Jules who looked over. "Alexis, you sister is pregnant." Alexis didn't know whether to jump with happiness or yell and scream. "What?" She repeated, this time with a smile. Jessica nodded, 11 weeks." Alexis looked in shock. She just smiled brightly and hugged her sister tightly, "Why didn't you tell me!?"
"We just felt it would be best to wait sweetie."
"But you and Jake—."
Jessica nodded, "I want to do this alone. Mom—I felt it kick. You can hardly feel it, but its there." Jessica pulled Jules' hand to her stomach and Jules smiled, handing Sam Carly as she pulled her into a hug, "Sweetie, I'm so happy for you." Jules kissed her cheek gently.
Sam wrapped his arms around Alexis, "Please don't get yourself into that." He whispered into her ear. Alexis nodded, "I wont Dad—I promise." He kissed her cheek as the family continued to hug.
"Mom, we missed you so much!" Both girls continued to say as the family finally made it into the living room where Jules sat down and watched everyone follow her lead.
"I know its early—But I just want you all to know that I'd rather talk to each of you separately about what happened—if that's okay."
They all nodded as she smiled, "I missed you all and I love all of you very, very much. Now—why don't you girls get more rest—It's 6 am and I know you haven't slept much." They both nodded and she kissed them both.
"Sammy." Jules turned to face him as he held Carly. She took her daughter in her arms and kissed Sam gently. "I missed you more than anything in the world—Thanks for bringing the pictures, I loved them."
Sam chuckled and brushed his fingers through her hair, "I missed you so much sweetheart. Do you want to go get a few hours of sleep? Today's going to be rough trying to get the family back on track." Jules nodded, "Sure—." She stood up and walked to Carly's room, placing the baby into the crib as Sam placed his hand on her shoulder. "She missed you." Jules smiled and nodded as she took Sam's hand and they went to bed.

"Sam?" Jules whispered after lying wide-awake for an hour. "What's wrong babe?" Sam asked as he pulled her close. She shook her head, "Nothing—I was just wondering how some of those people I heard yesterday got through this." Sam rolled over and smiled at her, "They were strong—Just like you."
