Jessica was now a high school graduate and six months pregnant. She would be leaving for college in a matter of weeks. So she has been packing at both her parents house to have it sent towards campus where her and Jayden have a suite room together for them. Before she leaves though her friends are throwing an early baby shower for her. It was only going to be her friends because she was not going to see them until winter break or after the baby comes. However today she was getting ready for Donna's wedding. She loved weddings so much, especially when her best friend is the one getting married and asked her to help Ed to walk her down the aisle. It was difficult however to get into a dress because she was so big now. Her stomach was large and her feet were swollen for her to go to a size ten. Jules came in the room seeing getting ready. She saw her mom come in the room.

"I hate being this big." Jessica complained

Jules laughed as she came to help her daughter get into the dress. The dress was a black strapless with a red ribbon on it . It also had a red rose near the ribbon.

"It's not always what it turns out to be. However it will get better when the baby comes." Jules said

"Yeah I can't wait to see her face." Jessica said

Jules zipped up the dress and turned towards her daughter.

"Now you know you can call me at work if something happens there." Jules said

"Yeah I do, but it really stinks that you and Dad can't come for the wedding." Jessica said

"Me too, but duty calls and we have to keep the peace."

"I know, but I'm a little bit nervous walking down the aisle to help Ed give away Donna. I've never done that before."

"You'll do fine. I thought you would love to give someone away at a wedding? You love weddings."

"I do, but sometimes it makes me think you and Dad won't get the chance to do that because of your job."

Jules looked down knowing that she would be right about that. They were still having a love affair while trying to be a family in secret. Only Greg knew this was happening. They would get into so much trouble if they were exposed. Mainly Greg would get fired and either Sam or Jules would switch teams. When Jules was about to answer her cellphone went off.

"I'm sorry I have to go. Have fun today." Jules said

"Thank you. Bye Mom." Jessica said

Jules waved bye and left for work. Jessica went back towards her necklace rack and got her golden cross to wear with her dress. Now all she had to do was get her make up on and then Ed would be hear to pick up her. Minutes later after she got her makeup on Jessica heard the horn hunk outside which meant Ed was outside waiting outside. So Jessica grabbed her purse and ran out to get to the wedding.

~Flashpoint~

Ed was driving the car while Jessica was in the passenger seat and Donna was in the back seat. Jessica called Jayden earlier to meet him there at the wedding in the park.

"Who else was going to give me away? My dad's gone and my sister's over seas. Hank loved the idea of having you both giving me away." Donna said

"Absolutely I mean we're family." Ed said

"Remind me again who's Hank?" Jessica joked

Everyone laughed at the comment Jessica said. Then Donna then stared into a deep gaze. It didn't go past Ed and Jessica.

"What's going on?" Ed asked

"I don't know." Donna said

"Oh come on. Tell us." Jessica said

"So you guys know that I was a beat cop for eight years. Vice for ten and SRU for two now. I met Hank and I started to wondering. Is this all I am?" Donna asked

"Of course not, Donna." Jessica said

"You're one of the best cops we've ever served with." Ed said

"How many cops get married?" Donna asked

"I don't know. Some of them?" Ed said

"Maybe all of them?" Jessica said

"You can't do it alone." Ed said

"Okay, but how many stay married?" Donna asked

"Well Ed and Wordy are still married." Jessica said

"Any other cops you know are still married?" Donna asked

Neither Ed or Jessica responded to that question. They had no clue.

"Why is that? Is it the hours? The people their choosing to marry? Maybe the job just changes you. I know I was a different person before I became a cop." Donna asked

"Where are you going with this?" Ed asked

"After my honeymoon I'm going to take my package. Early retirement." Donna said

That was a big shocker for both Ed and Jessica. There was no way that Donna could quit Team Three. It was her whole life. However now that she was getting married it's was going to be the beginning of a new life for her.

~Flashpoint~

Now that they pulled up to the park where the wedding was Jessica could see Jayden at the entrance waiting for her. Ed pulled the car up and Jessica was trying to get out of the car, but she needed help from Jayden. Jayden came up and pulled her down from her seat.

"Remind me to go on a diet and exercise after we have the baby." Jessica said

Jayden laughed and pulled Jessica into a hug. They kissed quick and Jessica pulled back.

"So did you get the seats with Ed and Sophie?" Jessica asked

"Yeah I did. So you will be giving Donna away with Ed?" Jayden asked

"Yup. So go to our seats and we'll meet you there."

Jayden went back to the seats. Jessica, Ed, and Donna went towards the center of the park where the ceremony was taking place. Everyone who was there was there. Team Three and families from Hank and Donna's sides were there. Jessica could see Jayden sitting with Sophie. The three of them walked towards the isle and came towards a stop. All of the people there turned around to see the three of them at the end of the isle ready to come down.

"You can still change your mind." Ed said

The three of them started to walk down the isle together.

"I asked him remember." Donna said

"I think Ed meant about leaving the force." Jessica said

"Oh my god. Both of you shut up and give me away." Donna said

Jessica and Ed laughed while they gave Donna away to Hank at the end of the isle. Both of them went to their seats with their loved ones. Jessica loved weddings. While watching Donna's wedding she thought about the wedding she and Jayden would have in a year or two. It would make it better since she would have her whole family and friends there. Also their daughter would be there as well which would make it all the more special. Jessica held on to Jayden's throughout the whole ceremony.

"It's my honor to present to you Mr. and Mrs. Hank Gerald." the priest announced

Everyone clapped for the newly wed couple. Then they heard some people fighting near the wedding.

"Help someone please. Somebody please help me." the guy kept shouting

Ed remember something in the back of his mind. He thought of this as something more than what it is. Jessica say the look on Ed's face and knew something was wrong. Ed looked around to see if anything looked out of place. Then he sees a man walking towards the wedding and he pulls a gun out.

"Gun! Stop! Everyone get down!" Ed yelled

Jessica saw the man with the gun and pulled Jayden to the ground when the man started to fire his weapon. Ed then went up and tackled the man to the ground, but he run off. Ed ran after the man. Jayden got up and saw Jessica on the ground.

"Jessica are you alright?" Jayden asked

"Kind of. My stomach is cramping. Is the baby okay?" Jessica asked in panic

"I don't know, but you're not shot?"

Jessica looked around and saw that one of groomsmen was shot.

"Not me but he is." Jessica said

"I'll be right back. I'll go check on him." Jayden said

Jayden went up to the groomsmen to take care of him while waiting for the ambulance to come. Sophie stayed with Jessica to help her stay calm. They didn't want anything happening to the baby. Jessica just hoped that her parents would get the call very soon.

~Flashpoint~

Team One was out and about with a call about shots fired at house in a quite neighborhood. They found one woman dead in her car. It was a gunshot wound to the head. They were patching things up when Jules gets a phone call. She picks up her phone and answers it.

"Hello?" Jules said

"Hey this Ed. Listen no time to talk , but shots were fired at Donna's wedding." Ed said

"Is everyone okay. Is Jesscia okay?"

"I don't know. Just hurry."

Jules hung up the phone and ran straight towards her team.

"Guys. Just got off the phone with Ed. He said made a shots fired call." Jules said

"Ed's at Donna's wedding as well as Jessica." Greg said

"That's where the shots were fired from."

Team One ran towards their cars and ran off towards the wedding. Sam looked at Jules in worry. They prayed to hope that their daughter, Jayden, and the baby were okay.

~Flashpoint~

Team One got to the ceremony and all the people were shook up. Jules and Sam looked around looking for Jessica and Jayden. They were no where to be found. Jules saw Sophie and ran up towards her.

"Hey Sophie are you okay?" Jules asked

"Yeah I'm okay. A little banged up but I'm okay." Sophie said

"Where are Jessica and Jayden? Are they okay?"

"Jessica went in an ambulance. She's fine for now, but she hit the ground hard on her back. They need to see if her and the baby are okay. They left about ten minutes ago."

Jules went into a panic state and Sam saw that and ran towards her. Sophie told Sam what she told Jules. Sam needed to be strong for the both of them. For now they had to get back to work. Later they would she how their daughter would be doing.

~Flashpoint~

Jessica laid there on the hospital bed waiting for the doctor to come in to see if the baby was okay. Jayden sat right there next to her. He could tell that Jessica was so mad that if something happens to their daughter that she would never forgive herself.

"It's not your fault." Jayden said

"Then how is it that every time we go to an event or some other locations danger seems to happen to us? I'm not even a cop anymore and this always happens to us." Jessica said

"That's life, Jessica. You can't hide from it."

"Well I should have because now our baby could be injured. I will not forgive myself if something happens to her."

Then the doctor came in.

"Hello I'm replacing Dr. Devonis for today. She had a family emergency and won't be back for a week. So let's see how the baby is doing." the doctor said

Jessica rolled up her shirt half way so that the doctor could put the blue gel on her stomach. The ultrasound wand was on her stomach and now they could she they baby on the screen. The doctor looked all around the area to see any problems there might be with Jessica or the baby. Then he took the wand off her and then looked at the couple.

"The baby is fine. However you were putting to much stress onto the baby when you were in pain from hitting the ground. Stress and high blood pressure are two things you want to stay away from in a pregnancy. So I'll give you some medication to help with your blood pressure. I'll make the appointment for Dr. Devonis to have her see you in a month to see if anything changes." the doctor said

Jessica put her head on Jayden in relief, but she was also worried about keeping her stress under control. Stress was something that became a part of her every since she met her mother on the first day. She would have to work on that with her family and Jayden. She needed to be strong for her daughter. Just like any mother would be for their child.

~Flashpoint~

Team One has just arrested Ida Logan and Peter Greene for putting the hits on the cop families. Jules then walked with Sam down the street to their car.

"So hypothetically do you ever think of a honeymoon?" Jules asked

"Would love a honeymoon hypothetically." Sam said

"Just promise me that it won't dafres on the beach."

"Extreme hiking remote trails no out houses."

"Nice I like it."

"Oh you mean with you?"

Jules laughed at that comment. Then Jules got a text from her phone. It was from Jessica. She read it and put it back in her pocket.

"Was that her?" Sam asked

"Yeah. She's back at my house. The baby's fine to what the doctor said." Jules said

"That's a good thing. I'll drive with you so I can say goodnight to her."

Jules and Sam then went to their car and went to the SRU for a short debrief. After that they went towards Jules' house.

~Flashpoint~

Sam and Jules went into the house to find their daughter sleeping on the couch. They went up to her and Jessica felt movement on the couch which woke her up.

"Hi" Jessica said

"Hi" Sam and Jules said

"When did you guys get home?" Jessica asked

"We just got in. How are you doing?" Jules said

"I'm out of shape. You guys?"

"The same." Sam said

Jules and Sam sat down next to Jessica who seemed more depressed than they've ever seen her.

"The doctor put me on some medication to control my blood pressure. He said that the stress from today's incident could have done more damage to the baby, but it didn't. I just have to control my stress." Jessica said

"Well that's a good thing. Right?" Sam asked

"Yeah it is but I feel like I've failed at protecting my own child. To me that's not good."

"Jessica you had no control over what happen at the wedding." Jules said

"But I could have just held my balance up-"

"Honey listen your worrying to much."

"That's what a mother is suppose to do isn't it?"

"Yeah but you worry too much. Which tells us two things. One is that you're going to be a great mother to your daughter. Two you worry just about everything. Every since you left SRU and got pregnant you've been so scared the world that you want to hide. You can't hide from the world forever." Sam said

"I've always been afraid every since day once when I got kidnapped in the hotel. Now that I'm pregnant I don't want to get caught up in the violence in this city."

"I know but you can't run away from it Jessica. You have to face the fact that you are halfway through your pregnancy, starting college in September, and the baby will be here in November or December. Time will fill by so fast that you won't even know it." Jules said

Jessica started to cry and pulled her parents into a big hug.

"I'm so scared. What if I can't protect my daughter? What if something happens to Jayden or myself? I don't want to ruin my future at a family. Am I capable of doing all of this?" Jessica asked

"You can do this Jessica. You will be a great photographer, mother, and wife to Jayden. For now you take it one day at a time. You can do this. You can and you have to." Jules said

All three of them stayed on the couch together for a while. They needed to be with each other at this time. Jessica could have lost the baby, but she didn't. Still Jessica can't nothing but guilt for putting her child at danger before she's even born. She'll try harder though to be a strong mother for her. Hopefully things will go easy from here on in. Or will it
