Today was the day for Jessica and Jayden's high school graduation ceremony. Both teens got ready at their houses and were going to meet at the school at noon. Jessica was getting ready at Jules' house in her room while everyone was waiting down stairs. She was glad that the color of her robe was green and not white like the boys were wearing white. She really didn't like wearing white clothes. Also she had to make a speech in front of what was looking to be two thousand people for her being honored as the first high school student to be part of SRU and for her commitment to her education. It was so hard to believe that this is where she would be 2 1/2 years later. Finding her parents, being part of a family, getting married to her fiance in two years, and being a mother to her upcoming daughter. She was excited to start college in September. She would also being expected the baby girl in December, like before the year was up. Jessica was getting her make-up done when she saw her mother come from behind.

"Do you need any help getting ready?" Jules asked

"No, I just have to put my make up and my robe on." Jessica replied

Jules turned away when Jessica had second thoughts on wanting help. She stopped Jules from leaving.

"Actually, yeah I do want help." Jessica said

Jules turned back and started to put some of her make up on. While doing her make up Jessica was starting to have some thoughts from when the first met at the SRU up until this very moment. She never thought her mother would be part of a hard working force known to Toronto. This has been quiet a journey they have been on. Working together, facing life and death situations, and finding out that Sam Braddock was Jessica's father. Jessica started to tear up, which messed up her make. Jules got her a tissue.

"Sweetheart are you okay?' Jules asked

"Yeah I'm fine. Do you think I let you down?" Jessica asked

"Oh my God, why would you think that? Of course not."

"I mean. Did you ever have any other dreams other than becoming a cop? I would hate it that you gave it up because you got pregnant with me."

"Well honey I didn't have any dreams."

Jessica then put a confused look on her face.

"I don't get it. What's that suppose to mean?"

"Before I got pregnant with you I had nothing to think about for my future. After my mother died I was just in rock bottom. Nothing ever made sense to me after that. I was basically an anti social person after her death. Not even my own family could crack me out of my depression. I planned on graduating high school, but after that I would have not gone to college. Then getting pregnant with you gave me a wake up call. It made me think of my mom again. What she did for me and my family. I missed her so much. I felt like she was with my during my pregnancy. It made think like her and I finally grew out of my depression. I did what a real mother would and I made sure you got what you needed. Then after I gave you up I got serious with my life and joined the force like my father. So you can say that you are reason that I have this dream now. You, Sam, Jayden, and the rest downstairs are my dream. Soon my granddaughter will be my dream addition."

Jessica cried and hugged her mother. It was like the same they had when they first met two years ago.

"I love you, Mom" Jessica said

"I love you too, Jessica." Jules said

Jessica then felt a kick in her stomach from the baby. She put Jules hand on it and she felt it too.

"Come on. We have to fix your make up and get your robe on." Jules said

Jessica sat back down and Jules put on the last addition to her make up. Then she got up and went to her closet to get her graduation robe. Jessica slipped into it and Jules put the cap on her head. Then Jessica grabbed her speech papers and they ran downstairs. Everyone saw Jessica and Jules come down and Sam looked at Jessica in awe. Sam gave her a big hug.

"I'm so proud of you." Sam said

"Thank you, Dad." Jessica thanked

Greg then got in the way and faced everyone.

"Well come on now. We all have a ceremony to catch." Greg said

Everyone laughed but he was right they did have to get to the ceremony at Jessica and Jayden's high school. They were going to have it in the auditorium which was in a separate building next to the school. Jessica grabbed Jayden's hand and they all headed of to the event.

~Flashpoint~

In the this huge auditorium there was about over three thousand people which include police officers, city members, families, friends, teachers, and almost one thousand and fifteen graduating students. Up on the stage were the major staff members of the school, valedictorian, salutatorian, chief of police, and Jessica. Jessica with her green robe was also wearing her Medal of Bravery and a black sash to notify her duties as a cop in the SRU. She saw Jayden in the third row and both of them waved at each other. Then she saw her family in the police force row and just smiled back at all of them in tears. Once the principal was done with his opening speech he was opening for Jessica to come up to the stand.

"Our next speaker not got the Medal of Bravery for standing up in a hazardous circumstances, but this person is also going to be awarded with the Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts. The winner of these awards is also the person who is the first high school student in this school to work with the SRU. She is going to be going of to Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning along with her fiance, Jayden. A young woman with a GPA of 3.5 average and has received multiple scholarships for media and visual arts. This is also a woman who thought that she wanted to run away to protect her family and friends so she could protect them and make a new life for herself. However she stuck to her guts and did what was right for not only for her family and friends, but for the city of Toronto. She stayed and fought those who harmed them. It's now my honor to present, Jessica Callaghan." Mr. Belkin said

Everyone in the audience stood up and cheered for Jessica. Jessica got up from her seat and went towards the principal. She shook his handed before heading towards the stand to see the whole audience in front of her. Having her speech on the bottom of the stand she looked at it for a second. Nervousness got the best of her for a minute then she began speaking.

"Well first off let me say congratulations to the class of 2011. We're all so proud to be graduating now. Some with honors, some with scholarships opportunities, and in my case a person with two awards, a wonderful family, a fabulous fiance, a great college, and upcoming daughter in December." Jessica started out

Some of the students started talking about that last part. So it was time for Jessica to head to the next part of the speech.

"Look some of you would be talking about my pregnancy behind my back, but before I get to that let me start from the beginning because I have to make this speech short, so everyone else could get their speeches done and the ceremony done. Unless I could talk all day and we can order some pizzas. Just kidding." Jessica joked

Everyone started laughing at Jessica's joke. If there was one thing Jessica can do it was to put a smile on people's faces. She looked at her family in the back who were laughing. Spike was cheering along with Wordy. Ed and Greg were holding up signs for Jessica. Raf had an air horn which went off. Jules and Sam were waving at their daughter on the stand. They were so proud of her. Even though they missed the first seventeen years of her life, she made out well. Now Jessica had to get back to the speech.

"Now let me start with my first day at the SRU. I was walking in with Greg Parker, sergeant, leader, and crisis negotiator of the team. I had an internship to shadow Jules Callaghan, second negotiator, sniper, and my mom. When I got there I hid the fact that I was her daughter. Later on my first job with her she looked at my bracelet and knew who I was. On the job I went to save Eagle Two and I got kidnapped and locked in the closet in the basement. She found me and I was so relieved to be alive and to see her right in front of me. We talked afterwords and hugged so long that we don't want it to stop. I found my mom after all those years and I was so happy to be with her. She adopted me back and I started to work along side her with her team. They didn't know I was her daughter until she got shot. The first one to accept who I was Sam Braddock. Former Special Forces officer, second sniper, and my dad. Then everyone else accepted me as part of the family. I never had a family before and I love them with all my heart." Jessica said

Her family smiled and waved at her in thanks to her comments. This was bringing tears in both their eyes and in Jessica's.

"Although I wish Lew was here to celebrate my graduation with me. He was killed on duty by a bonding mine. I miss him so much. I still wear the bracelet to know I think about him a lot." Jessica choked up

Everyone looked at their bracelets from their row and Jessica knew how much they missed him too, even Spike.

"Anyway later I found out about how my mom got pregnant with me. She was part of a crime taking place that didn't happen by the criminal. Both my parents were victims of Curtis' crime. He meant to hurt my mom, but he never got the chance to find her in time. Later Sam's dad finds out about what happened and payed everyone who knew about what happened to keep their mouths shut. It was a disgrace to my family and me. Then when I found out that Sam was my dad, I kept a secret for a while, not knowing it could get me killed later on. Then he found the results and then he found out about him being my dad. We both fought about it at first but that made our bond even more stronger in the days to come. A man name Dr. Toth came and made me take my test for the sake of the team. He literally dragged me from my meeting with my friends to go to the base. Then all my friends and family heard about my life story up to everyone hearing me confess story. I quit and then later on in that day my fiance, Jayden, propose to me, but before I could answer Curtis came and started shooting at my friends and me. I was shot in the shoulder. I felt what my mom was feeling that day she got shot. I felt all the pain going through me, I felt my life leaving my body." Jessica teared up

Jessica needed a minute to get her act up right. This was bringing so much back. She wished she could forget it all and move on, but she can't.

"However I knew I was going to be okay because I had this family that would never give up on me. I knew that the whole city of Toronto would care about someone like me, but they did. Everyone believed that I would pull through. Then I faced Sam's dad and Curtis one on one along with the team and took them down. They are now in jail for life. I have only pity for them but they do belong in jail for all the pain they did to so many people. Now we come to the big wow factor of the story. Me and my pregnancy." Jessica said

Again students started to make some whispering in the crowd. Jessica had probably had enough with this and it needed it to end for her, Jayden, her family, and most importantly her soon to be daughter's sake.

"I like to start off my saying that we all are human. We all make mistakes, however I'm not saying my child is a mistake, but you never know what could be coming around the corner at any minute. My dad and my aunt were arguing about me and my mom so I left for Jayden's and that's when this whole thing started. Neither of us planned it but it happened. Later I find out but before I could tell everyone I pass out and I was rushed to the hospital. I get my mother into my room and I tell her I wanted it terminated. That wasn't like me at first because of my faith. However I didn't want to ruin Jayden and my families lives. So when I was talking to my mom they heard everything and came in to talk me out of it. Jayden wanted this child so I gave it a chance, but this something new to everyone that you all are about to hear." Jessica said in shame

Everyone including Jayden was starting to get worried now. Everyone was wondering what was going on. All the audience saw the look on Jessica's face and saw that she was hurt and serious at the same time.

"I didn't even tell my family this until now. A week after I decided to not get an abortion, I thought about putting it up for adoption." Jessica confessed

Jules and Sam were shocked as well as everyone in their row. What was she thinking? Jayden then stood up in shock. Now this was bringing chaos to the place because then her friends in a different parts of the rows started to say random things. This had to stop. Jessica got her bullhorn from under the stand and set of the loud sound it does. Everyone blocked their ears and then the noise stopped. Jessica spoke through the bullhorn.

"Everyone quiet and listen. Let me finish my story and you will understand why I thought this way for a while. This is near the end so let me finish so we can all go home happy." Jessica yelled

Jessica put down the bullhorn and went back to the speech.

"Now where was I? Oh yes. Now I still thought to myself I was not going to be a good mother. Even with my family, Jayden's family, and all of my friends helped out I kept thinking to myself that it was not going to be possible for me to be a mother. Not after everything I went through in the SRU and after being in foster care for seventeen years. I didn't want to put my daughter through any danger it could be in growing up. I would be responsible for her if anything happened to her. She is my daughter so I thought to myself that I needed to find her a home so she would be safe. However that all changed one night in dream I will never forget." Jessica said

Jessica stood away from the stand and stood in the middle of the stage so everyone could see her. She was going to demonstrate her dream by moving back and forth with her body.

"In my dream I was in a white bright place. Nothing around as far as I could see. Then I see someone coming so having my former cop's instants I turn around face and braced myself for anything that could happen. Then I see this little girl with long dark brown hair and dark brown eyes and I think to myself that maybe she was lost. So I ask 'Are you lost? Where is your mommy?' and then she said the one thing that brought me to tears and woke me up at the same time was 'Mommy'." Jessica cried

Everyone started to cry when she said that last bit. Jessica walked back to her stand so she could finish her speech.

"So that next day I still kept thinking what I can do what was right for her. Then I thought what about myself? What was the best thing for myself? Maybe it was the best thing for me and my baby to stay together. So I threw everything that said adoption and said to myself 'That is my girl I saw in that dream and I'm going to keep her.'. Later I see people giving me back feedback about everything this. It's not always normal to have a baby in any type of school or college you could go to. However I can't think about those people and their comments. I can't think about me for a while because it's not about you guys or myself. This is about my baby and I need to do what's best for her." Jessica said

Jessica was about to finish her final part of her speech when all of the sudden some random kid stands up and starts to clap for her about doing the right thing. That made everyone in the audience start to cheer for her. Jayden looked at Jessica and whispered 'Thank you' to her and she nodded. Jessica looked at her family who could not be any more proud of her for what she had just said in front of thousands of people. They were surprised she didn't say anything to them about the adoption idea but their glad it's out the window.

"Okay everyone I'm on my last part of the speech. So let me finish up so we can graduate. I would like to thank so many people in my life. For whom without them I would not be who I am today. Let me start with my friends. Marissa from the beginning of high school you used to bully me. But then after me saving you from a fatal decision we became best friends. I can count on you for anything. Then there is Kate who is always so protective of me but is always finds a way to be so drastically funny. Even when I made mistakes you seem to make them into positive outcomes. There is also Amy for standing up for me when I was getting dragged towards the SRU by Dr. Toth. Oh by the way I wanted to say sorry to her family if they are here because she almost got arrested for me. That would not have been good for the both of us." Jessica continued

Amy's parents stood up and waved to her and everyone laughed.

"I have so many friends that I can't name them all. Now on to my family I want to start with Ed Lane. The second leader of the team. He has been so protective of me like all of the guys on the team. I stood by him through thick and thin when he was shot. I mean he can manage getting shot while helping his wife have a baby at the same time. I admire his toughness. Now we go to Kevin Wordsworth or Wordy as we like to call him. He is just so funny and telling me story from his good old days. I would hang out with his daughter's for a girl's night out and we would have the time of our lives. He actually helped me get some baby cloths because he was an expert on having girls. There not a day where the team doesn't miss him. Michaelangelo Scarlatti or Spike as we call him is such a funny person to be around. He also helps me with up to date technology for my visual media work in my free time and when I used to be on the team. I love our Friday nights out on the town and doing our thing together. Raf Rousseau the newest member of the team. Still is coming along with everything there is to know. I know that he will make a great addition to the team. It's nice to see him sing at the local club on some nights. He even teaches me how to learn a few keys along with my mom. Greg Parker is like my second father. He showed me the ropes to working with the team. Everyday after school he would teach me real life cases. We really connected at times when the team didn't have successful missions. However you can't win them all. Then you have my fiance Jayden who has been with me for three years. He just opened my heart in a way that I didn't think a guy could. He's been with me think in thin. He was with me when I got shot and now he's here with me soon to be married and having a daughter. He's my one true soulmate. Now we come to the last two people in my family. We all have someone or some people to count on everyday. Those two are my parents. Jules Callaghan and Sam Braddock saw something in me at the age of seventeen that I didn't see in myself and that is this. I am capable of having a family and I'm someone that deserves the love that I waited for in foster care. When I was alone I thought that no one wanted me because of my family background information. So I thought to myself maybe I was meant to be alone. Then grower older and seeing them on TV not knowing who they really were I found my birth certificate and saw my mother's name on it. It was like she was with me all along when I was watching her in action. So I made sure to get close to her and then I found my family again. Sam even loved me like a daughter before I figured out I was his. All this love around me makes me not feel isolated from all of you around. So I say this to all those around me today be glad to having your family and friends around you because they understand you and will never give up on you. We should never give up on each other because we are the future people who will be running the planet. We are but one body of people and one body of government that will make a difference in this world." Jessica said

Jessica looked at her bracelet from when she had growing up. It was a silver band with a compass on it.

"It's almost like a compass we always have to find our way through life. Because this compass also helped me find my way home. Thank you all." Jessica finished

Everyone got up and clapped for her and from the back her family was cheering. Air horns were going off and students were saying how awesome she was. Jayden blew her a kiss and Jessica did the same to him. Jessica then walked back to her seat and wait for the next person to speak.

~Flashpoint~

"Jessica Callaghan" Mr. Belkin said

Jessica walked over to him to receive her diploma. She grabbed it with her right hand and shook her left hand with her principal. She then walked back to her seat so the rest could get their diplomas. Then when it seemed like forever. Everyone was asked to stand.

"Students please move your tassels from right to left." Mr. Belkin asked

The students did just that including Jessica and Jayden.

"Ladies and gentleman I now present to you the class of 2011!" Mr. Belkin cheered

Jessica threw her cap up into the air as well as ever other student did. Everyone cheered in joy that all of the kids graduated high school. Jessica ran down to Jayden and hugged him so tight.

"I love you so much!" Jessica confessed

"I love you too!" Jayden said in return

Jessica and Jayden then kissed for a along as they could. Jayden then put his hand on Jessica's stomach and felt it move. Their soon to be daughter was moving and it made them so happy. Then they ran towards both of their families in the back. Jayden hugged his parents and Jessica went towards her as well. She hugged both of them so tight. Jules and Sam in tears. Their daughter had been through so much and now she made it through high school.

"You did it!" Jules cried

"You graduated and you earned it." Sam said

"I earned more than I could ever hope for!" Jessica cried

Jessica was then congratulated with her whole family. She could not believe she came this far in her life. She had two huge families whom she loved with all her heart and soon she would be in college with her fiance and soon to be daughter. Now that her past was behind her and that she graduate high school she had her whole life ahead of her. She was not going to waste one single of it
