A month has passed since the wedding incident and today was Jessica's baby shower. Now this was for only her and all her old high school friends because this would be the last time they saw each other. Everyone was going off to different colleges. In fact Jessica and Jayden were in the mist of moving into their college dorm where they would be living and raising their daughter while going to school. Still the thought of Jessica being a good mom was still weighing on her. After what happened at Donna's wedding and how she could have lost her child due to stress was just to much for her to handle. However like her parents said she needed to be strong and ready for when the baby comes. So for now it's about right now in the present not the future of what could happen. Jessica was finishing opening her gifts with her friends. Everyone watched at how she would react to their gifts.

"Okay I would love to thank you all for coming. This really means a lot to me as it does for you guys too." Jessica thanked

"Hey we are all glad to come." Marissa said

"Yeah just because we're all going off to different schools doesn't mean we won't be there for each other." Amy said

"I'll cheer to that." Joey cheered

Everyone raised their drinks high and cheered

"Anyway thank you guys for all the great stuff. However Marissa I really want to know how you got this cool video monitor? I didn't even though these things existed." Jessica asked

"Well that's the power of technology. Let me tell you that was not easy to find. However I want to get the best for my future goddaughter." Marissa said

"I thought I was she was going to be my goddaughter." Amy argued

"Yeah you'll have to fight me over that."

Before Amy and Marissa could take the fighting even more violent, Jessica stomped her foot and it shook the floor.

"Enough! At this point I won't know who will be the godmother if you two keep on fighting! Let's have a nice time with all our friends and decide it later." Jessica complained

"Fine." Amy and Marissa said

Everyone sat back down and Jessica picked up Kate's gift which was a baby Spongebob humidifier.

"I got to tell you only you Kate can find a way to get a fun humidifier that not only my kid love, but she'll want to stare at it all day. Also she'll grow into the culture we grew up in." Jessica asked

"That's why I picked out. Why would you want something that looks so boring to look at when you can find a reason to look at everyday. Also who doesn't love Spongebob Squarepants?" Kate asked

Brain raised his hand. Everyone stared at him in shock.

"Are you serious?" Kate asked

"I don't think he looks all that cute." Brain said

"What world are you living in?" Marissa asked

Everyone laughed and then Jessica felt a kick from her stomach.

"Oh my God! Guys she's kicking!" Jessica said

Everyone got up and put their hand on her stomach.

"This is so cool!" David said

"Yeah are you excited?" Amy asked

"Yeah, but-" Jessica started

Everyone was waiting for an answer but Jessica couldn't find the words.

"Oh no. Are you having second thoughts?" Amy asked

"What? No. It's just I don't know if I'll be a good mother that's all." Jessica answered

"What are you saying? You're doing everything you can to take care of the baby even before the baby's born. How could you say you won't be a good mother after she is born?" Joey asked

Jessica paused to find the right words. Everyone sat back down to wait for her answer.

"Okay I wasn't going to tell you guys this but you know how I had give away my friend Donna at her wedding?" Jessica asked

"Yeah you told you us that some freaks tried to kill her husband while you guys were there." David said

"Yes but what Jayden and I didn't tell you guys was that I almost hurt myself and the baby."

Everyone by then was in shock. Who could blame them?

"When the shots were fired everyone panic and I fell. I was pain and I wasn't even sure if my baby was alright. When we got to the hospital the doctor said that she was fine but had I put more stress then I would have lost her." Jessica said

Jessica started crying. Joey gave her tissues.

"I should have braced myself. I was trained to do so in the SRU instead I was weak and fell. I'm suppose to be her mother and I couldn't even do that. If I couldn't protect her before she is born how am I going to protect after that?" Jessica cried

"Jessica hold up. Stop crying. From what you're doing. Saying your thought out and what your fears are tells us that you are going to be one hell of a mother. However sometimes we can't help when things like this happen. That's life. You did nothing wrong but go out and have a great time at the wedding. It was those crook's fault." Kate said

"Yeah you just feel this way because in our point of view you are already a mom. We see it in our eyes and so does everyone else. You are strong and brave. Hell you took a bullet in the shoulder and stood in front of the people who shot you. Look this feeling you have protecting your daughter and everything will pass mostly. Brain said

"What if it doesn't?" Jessica asked

"Well that's the thing. Some of it never will. That doesn't mean you can't work on it with Jayden and your family. You also have us." Amy said

Jessica got up and everyone joined in for a group hug.

"Thank you. You guys are the best. I'll miss these times we had together." Jessica said

"We'll always be friends forever." Marissa said

Everyone sat back down and it looked like all the gifts were opened until Jessica saw an envelope on the floor with her name on it.

"Hey guys did I open all your gifts? Joey?" Jessica asked

"Yeah I got you all those one piece outfits." Joey said

"Brain?"

"I got you all the diapers and food that she'll be enjoying." Brain said

"Amy?"

"I got you those Disney DVD's." Amy said

"David?"

"I got you the stroller." Brain said

"Then who gave me this?"

Everyone was puzzled

"Open it and find out." Marissa said

Jessica teared open the envelope and found a set a car keys with a note attached to it. Everyone was in shock on what just appeared in Jessica's hands. Jessica couldn't believe it either. Then she read the note out loud.

Jessica we'll be home by the time you read this and if you are near the door go to it and open it. With those keys you know what's about to happen next.

Jessica and her friends went towards the door and opened the door to find Sam, Jules, and Jayden with a dodge grand caravan.

"No way!" Jessica yelled

Jessica went towards Jayden and hugged him. All her friends went towards the van. It was the one with the cool entertainment system and the pull out table for cool road trips.

"I don't understand. How did you afford this? We don't have the money." Jessica said

"Well uh I'll let your parents take it from here." Jayden said

Jules and Sam walked up to their daughter and hugged her.

"Guys you didn't have to do this for me." Jessica said

"We wanted to and you need it." Jules said

"It's the least we could do. After all it's also a graduation present as well." Sam said

"But you guys don't owe me anything. The love you gave me every since we met meant more to me than anything you gave me in the past."

They both reached out and took each of her hands to hold. Jessica could tell they were being serious.

"Jessica we do owe you. I should have been the one to find your mom after the party nineteen years ago. I should have realized that my father was a monster who took my daughter away from my life." Sam said

"Same here. Also I still have second thoughts on keeping you before you were born. I should have tried and get help from some of my family members who were still around. They could have helped but I didn't try. This is us being there for you now." Jules said

"We are a family. You, me, your mom, Jayden, and his parents are a family now. You are also starting college, a career, and starting your own family with your upcoming daughter with Jayden. She's going to be part of the family to. We all look after our family members everyone of us." Sam said

Jayden came up to Jessica

"Their right you know. We are a family. You, me, and our daughter are going to be a family. That's what I always wanted every since I met you. You were the one that I wanted to spend my life. I can't wait for us to be married and starting out new lives together." Jayden said

Jessica smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I can't wait to marry you too. I've loved you too every since you asked me out. I wanna be with you and no else." Jessica said

Jessica waved her parents to come over and they joined in for a group hug. Jessica cried in happiness.

"I love you guys so much." Jessica cried

"We love you too." Jules and Sam said together

Jayden kissed Jessica's forehead. Then they heard a throat clearing noise and turned around to Jessica's friends near the van Jessica waved them to come.

"You know I love you guys too. Come on in." Jessica said

All of her friends came in and joined the hug. Only they wished they could stay like this forever. They would have until they heard a honk horn from a car and all looked to see the SRU team, Natalie, and Jule's family with their baby shower gifts. Ed and Greg brought their sons, Clark and Dean, and Wordy came with his daughters. Jayden's parents came along too.

"What are you guys doing here?" Jules and Jessica asked together

"Yeah I thought you were debriefing and couldn't come and Wordy how did you know about the shower?" Sam asked

"Yeah Mom, Dad, why did you come?" Jayden asked

"Are you kidding? We wouldn't miss." Ed said

"Yeah this is for our future granddaughter." Gabriella said

Sam and Jules hugged her and Donnie

"Yeah and if you wanna laugh on how we know about the party we heard it on Facebook." Wordy confessed

Everyone laughed

"Of course because everyone is on Facebook." Natalie said

Natalie went to hug Sam and then Jessica. Then she walked over to Clark and Dean.

"Thank you for coming Clark and you must be Dean. I'm Jessica." Jessica greeted

"Nice to meet you. My dad has told me a lot about you." Dean said

"Same here and this is Jayden and my whole family."

"Can it get any bigger than this?" Clark asked

"Well it will soon."

Jayden came and felt Jessica's stomach and felt a kick from her stomach. Jayden was filled with joy and excitement. He was going to be a great father. Then Wordy's daughters came up and hugged Jessica as well as jer cousin Samantha.

"You can count on me to be there. Even though I'll be in school." Samantha said

"Hey every little bit helps." Jessica said

"Well come on everyone let's continue the shower." Greg shouted

Everyone went inside but Jessica stayed outside for a while. She took into account everything her family and friends told. That she was already a mom just by worrying for her daughter and caring for her born she was born. She just need to learn how to let go of all the fears that could come ahead in life. Some of it might not happen at all. Jessica looked at her stomach and then at her big family through the window.

"I'll be ready to be mom soon. I'll make sure of it." Jessica said

Before she went in she took out her new keys and just played with it once just to hear it honk. She laughed and went inside to continue the shower. She is having a great life at that moment.

~Flashpoint~

Jessica was finished cleaning up the mess downstairs that was from the party and went towards her room. Everything was packed up. She was moving to her dorm with Jayden this weekend. To her it only felt like yesterday when Jules took her home for the first time after seventeen years. She heard a knock on the door to find her parents in the doorway.

"It looks so much bigger now. With everything packed." Jessica said

"Yeah it's going to feel lonely not seeing you when you wake up in the morning." Jules said

"Oh come on you have dad. You won't feel that lonely."

"Yeah we'll have each other, but it won't be the same without you. You're our everything." Sam said

Jessica hugged her parents

"I know. It's also scary too." Jessica said

They pulled away to face Jessica

"What is?" Jules asked

"Moving on. I know I can't stay but it feels like it's my last week as a kid. Now I start a family and school at the same time. It's like life kicked my ass out the door all of the sudden." Jessica said

"Well thats how life is. It comes up out of no where and it grabs you by the hold and never lets go. I know for experience. It still happens to us sometimes." Sam said

They pulled in again for another hug.

"However we'll always be there for you." Jules said

"Thank you and thanks for the van. Jayden and I are going to love it." Jessica said

"Just don't go joy riding with our granddaughter in it." Sam joked

"Yeah that will never happen."

They laughed about it and hugged for so long that they felt the world had stop. Nothing could ever break that happiness or excitement they were feeling for Jessica and the baby. If they only knew what was going to happen in the near future
