Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!!
Enjoy!
"Alexis?" Jules whispered at her doorway. "I wanted to talk to you first." Alexis smiled and nodded as Jules made her way in and sat down.
"So—How was it?" Alexis asked sweetly as Jules smiled at her. "It was—It was a very good experience because of how much I have been through. From my childhood since my mother died, to now—my life kinda sucked. So I think it was something good for me. I got to hear a lot of other people's stories." Alexis pulled her mom into a tight hug, "I'm glad you think that way, we missed you so much." Jules giggled, "I missed you more."
"Now—Mom—Jessica's pregnant?" Alexis asked with worried eyes, Jules nodded slowly, "Yes—sweetie—She is. Now, I really need you to not go down that path and just be as safe as you possibly can. If that means you being on the pill—then that's what you'll do. She didn't think about what she was doing and now she has to have and raise a baby all by herself. I don't want you and Clark to have to deal with that. Jessica decided to do this all alone because she knew that Jake wasn't the one that she wanted to spend her life with—and she made a mistake." Alexis just stared at her, "But Mom—That's a pretty big mistake." Jules nodded and placed her hand on top of Alexis', "I know—But—You just have to promise to me that you wont let that happen to you." Alexis nodded and pulled Jules into a gentle hug, "I love you Mom." She smiled, "I love you too Lexi." Jules kissed her hair gently and stood up, and walked out.
She walked down the hallway and towards Jessica's room, "Sweetie—." Jules sighed as she saw Jessica face down on her bed, crying. "Sweetie, what's wrong?" She whispered as she sat down next to her and rubbed her back. "I'm so sick of this already! I feel awful! I shouldn't have to deal with this yet!"
"I know Jess—I know—But just think about it, you're 11 weeks so that means your 2 months and 3 weeks in. You can get through this—I know you can." Jessica rolled over and nodded, "Did you calculate that in your head?" They both giggled, "No—Well yeah—I was bored." Jessica sat up and hugged her mother, "You're the best mom in the world—." Jules smiled, "I wouldn't say the best in the world, but I just love taking care of you girls." She kissed Jessica on the forehead gently.
"Now how about some lunch?" Jules giggled as she stood up slowly. Jessica stared her down.
Jules shook her head, "I'll take that as a no."
Making her way downstairs, the phone rang and she dashed to answer it, giggling at Sam as he kissed her gently.
"Hello?"
***
"Hey Jules—It's Greg—How are you?"
***
She smiled, "Hey Boss—I'm good."
***
"Listen I—."
***
"Sarge—I'm better. It was a good experience for me—but now I'm back with my family where I belong. So what's up?"
***
"That's great—anyways—I was just wondering if your family wanted to meet up with the team for drinks and dinner tonight. I know that Wordy's bringing his whole family to dinner and then Shelley's taking the girls home since it's a school night. Ed, Sophie, and Clark are coming. Lou and Spike are too. Plus some of the dispatchers might show up along with other officers. So--?"
***
"Sure Boss—It would be nice to be with everyone. I'll find a babysitter for Carly and we'll bring the girls out. What restaurant?"
***
"We're meeting at the Wagner at 7. Can't wait to see you guys."
***
"Great—You too Boss—Thanks for inviting us."
***
"Bye Jules."
-------
The call ended as Jules went to tell Sam and the girls.
After hearing groans from Jessica about having to leave the house and still try to hide the fact that she's pregnant—she finally got her to agree. Alexis caught her before she even came to ask her. She was super excited because she hadn't seen Clark in a few days.
"Mom—How in the world am I supposed to fit in anything!" Jessica asked as she on her laptop in bed.
Jules giggled, "Uh—Hmm—I'm sure I have some kind of night out dress that would fit you. You are taller than me—Oh well—You can just be a sexy mom-to-be."
"Mom!" Jessica laughed as she nodded, "Okay—I'll come downstairs later." Jules hugged her gently and walked out, heading back downstairs to call a babysitter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After trying on six different dresses Jules owned while she was pregnant, Jessica finally gave up on hiding it. "Maybe it's time I tell them." She sighed. Jules nodded, "I'll be right there with you sweetie."
-------
"Well Sammy—Don't you just look sexy?" Jules snickered as she walked into their room to see him in dark jeans and a nice button down shirt. When she walked over to him and started to unbutton his shirt, he grabbed her hands, "Sweetie—I just took the time to button it up." She giggled as she placed a kiss on his chest, "Oh well."
He looked down at her, "You look gorgeous babe." She was wearing a dark purple halter dress with her trench coat over it. "You look even better." She kissed him gently as she walked to the bathroom to finish getting ready.
-----------------------------------
"We'll be home before midnight." Jules told the babysitter. She nodded, "Okay Mister and Mrs. Braddock." She took Carly in her arms and sat down on the couch for a night of slow and grueling babysitting.
"Mom—I look huge." Jessica groaned as she walked up next to Jules on the way out. "Sweetie—You look beautiful. You're pregnant—embrace it." Jessica gave her a confused look then laughed as she and Alexis got in the back seat of Jules' jeep.
-----------
In the restaurant, the team had booked a smaller party room with tables and food all set up. Wine glasses were all around and
"Well if it isn't the lovely Braddock family?" Greg sang as the four walked up. "How are you guys?" They all smiled. "Great." Jules answered. He hugged her tightly, "I'm proud of you, Jules." She nodded and smiled as he pulled away and she took Sam's hand.
"Clark!" Alexis ran over as Clark pressed his lips to hers, "Hey babe—I missed you so, so much!"
"Ewww---Those kids disgust me." Both Sam and Ed said at the same exact time.
"Jules!" Kira and Winnie shouted as she kissed Sam gently and walked away from him, running over to them. "Oh my gosh! It's been forever since I saw you two!"
"Yeah, Peter's been taking up all of the shifts while team one's on. We all really have to get together sometime!" Kira explained. Jules smiled and nodded, "We really do. Just call me sometime and we'll do lunch!" Both girls smiled as they saw Jessica walk up to Jules.
"Hey Sweetie—you know Kira and Winnie, right?"
"Yeah—Hey. Listen—Mom—I—."
Jules sighed, "Just go sit down sweetie. Go um—Oh your dad already got a table with Wordy's family. You can sit there." Jessica nodded as Jules kissed her forehead and she walked away.
"Jules—Is she?" Winnie asked quietly. Jules nodded slowly, "I am seriously losing my mind with all three kids. Jessica's pregnant with a guy's baby whom she broke up with because she didn't want to be with him at all anymore. Then Alexis is engaged to Clark!"
"What!?"
"Yeah—Then Carly is four months old, which seems unbelievable considering I still look like I just had her."
"Girl, you've got your hands full. But you and Sam can do it. You're lucky you have your life settled—we're both single and its getting kind of old on my part." They both laughed, "Me too." Winnie added.
Jules shook her head, "I don't know—I mean—I love Alexis and Jessica, but I'm almost worried I kinda messed up their future."
"Jules! Hush! You and Sam have given those girls the best future they could ever ask for after all they have been through! You should be proud!" Winnie defended.
She smiled, "Thanks—Well—I'm going to go have dinner with them. Are you guys going to the bar after?" They both nodded, "See you there!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
As the whole group was at the bar, everyone stood at one side of the room. Ed was there with Sophie and Clark who had found his way over to the side next to Alexis. Spike and Lou were buddies together for the night, either joking around or flirting with Kira and Winnie. Jessica sat over to the side, which is what set off Greg coming over to speak with Sam and Jules. "Is Jessica okay, Jules? She wont talk to anyone."
Jules sighed as she held a drink firmly in her hands, "Listen—Boss—Jessica's—She's pregnant."
Greg looked like he was in shock for a moment. "Pregnant—as in—having a baby?"
Jules giggled and nodded. "I had the same reaction." Sam joked. "She's eleven weeks." Jules smiled as Greg finally shook back to reality. "Well—I'm happy for her. Does she know—?" Jules nodded, "She decided to have it on her own—her decision, and we're going to support her all the way." Greg hugged each of them and went on to talking to Ed.
After drinking for about an hour, and holding meaningless conversations full of jokes and laughs, everyone decided to call it a night.
"Guys—We had a great night, thanks so much for inviting us." Jules smiled. "Us too." Ed added. Alexis and Clark hugged and kissed, texting each other as they walked away.
"Hey Jules!" Kira called out. Whipping her head around, she looked over to them, as she held onto Sam's hand. "We're just going to go hang out at a club for a bit, wanna join?" Jules smiled to Sam as his eyes wandered but he nodded, "Thanks Sammy." She whispered, kissing him gently. "Night girls—I'll be home later." She kissed each daughter on the forehead and made her way over to Kira and Winnie, jumping into the backseat of Kira's car.
----------------------------------
"Thanks so much." Sam smiled to the babysitter as he paid her and watched her leave. He first went to check on Carly, then to check on Alexis and Jessica to be sure they were getting to bed as it was almost 10:30 and it was a school night for Alexis.
--------------------------------
"Oh my gosh girls—I haven't been to this club in years!" Jules giggled as she stood along a back wall with Kira and Winnie, each with a beer in their hand.
"Neither have I—But there are some pretty hot guys here!" Kira smiled as she winked back to a guy who kept staring at her. Jules shook her head, "I can't do anything stupid tonight—I need to behave." All three of them laughed.
"Hey—I'm Kyle." A young blonde man said with a smile as he looked up and down at Kira. She threw her hair back and giggled. "Wanna dance?" He asked. She nodded as he took her hand. Winnie and Jules laughed between each other as they saw the excitement on her face as she glanced over her shoulder.
"You know I—." Jules began. "Winnie?" She looked over to see Winnie off with some guy. "I should have known this would happen." She giggled to herself. As she backed up to sit down on a chair to the side, she all of a sudden stopped as she hit someone.
"Sorry I—."
"Well look who it is." A guy smiled. "I haven't seen you since high school—Jules. You haven't aged a bit."
"Brian—What the hell do you want this time?"
"Now Jules—chill—You're not a little kid anymore. Anyways, I never did anything to hurt you, that was all Tony. You were the best girlfriend ever, that was—until you dumped me because I was Tony's best friend. But—I'm not into being with people like that anymore—Ive changed. So—How's your life been?"
She smiled, "Good—Somewhat—I'm married with three kids. Two of which are teenagers and adopted. I just had our first baby back in December."
"You serious? You can't be a wife and mother—no way."
She nodded, "Yeah—Well believe it. What about you?"
"Still single and loving life. It took me a while to get back on my feet after everything that went on in high school. You know, Tony went back to jail."
"Really?"
"Yep—Raped a girl in college and a few after college—enough charges to get him put away for a while. Listen, I'm really, really sorry about everything that happened back then. We were all just drunk and high teenagers."
She nodded, "Yeah—Well—Ive tried to move on. Want another drink?"
He smiled, "I'll buy. Two beers." He told the bartender. As they were handed their drinks, Brian kept smiling at her as she rolled her eyes. "So are you here—alone?"
"My two friends from work ditched me. Oh well."
He nodded, "You wanna trash this joint and head over to my place and just chill like old times?"
"Brian I—My husband would kill me."
"He doesn't have to know—Just tell him you were with your friends. We're just going to hang like we did in high school—Jules—you were one of my best friends, I haven't seen you in forever—come on."
She smiled at him for a moment, then looked over to Kira and Winnie who were lost in their own lives. She nodded, "Give me a sec."
"Kira—Winnie—I'm going to head on out—You guys good?" They both nodded, "Bye Jules—It was great hanging with you!" Kira shouted as she turned back to face Kyle.
"Okay—Let's go." Jules agreed as her intoxicated body took over her mind. He smiled as they walked out to his car. "You okay to drive?" She asked. He nodded, closing the passenger side door.
---------------------------------------------
"Nice place—What do you do now?"
"I own a shooting range? You still into all the guns and stuff?"
She smiled, "I'm a Constable for the SRU."
"Nice! Well here—." He tossed her another beer as she popped it open.
Next thing they knew, a half hour had passed—the whole time was filled with laughing and joking around about kids they went to school with.
"You remember Sarah—um—I forget her last name. You know—Slobbery Sarah!"
"Oh man—yeah—That chick was weird!"
Jules laughed, "Well I saw her working at the grocery store one day—She's been there for fifteen years!"
"You serious!? What-a-weirdo."
She nodded, "Hey wait—Wasn't she your first kiss?"
"Please don't remind me." He laughed, "But the second kiss I had—Wasn't too bad."
Jules smiled as Brian placed his beer down. "Why don't you just let loose for the night? Just this once."
"Brian—I'm already pushing my marriage the farthest I think it will go. My husband and I are already a bit strained—I don't know if—Maybe I should just go."
"Come on Jules—We were best friends, just—." Within seconds he had his lips pressed to hers as she kissed back. "It's been a while." She giggled as he pulled his hand through her hair. "I missed you, Jules—When you refused to call me back after everything that happened. I'm really sorry about what happened back then." She smiled and nodded, "I've learned to move on."
"Good."
