Jaycee got back into bed and sighed. Even though she'd come to accept her parents didn't want anything to do with her anymore, it still hurt to hear.
"Still hungry?" She heard from the door.
"Yes, I am." She said to him. "Mom and dad leave."
"They did. I don't know why they had to come here." He said placing the food on the bed.
"I don't know either." She said as she grabbed her food. "But it's over and they're gone now."
"Just don't get out of bed again or your husband will kill me."
"I won't. I couldn't ignore the door. It could have been important." She said taking a bite of her food.
"Well it wasn't and now they are on their way to California and I have a feeling that mom and dad aren't happy with each other. But that's not our concern anymore." He said eating his own food. "And don't let them bother you. You've still got me."
"Yes, I do." She replied.
John arrived home later in the day after work. He ran into Charlie in the hallway and they headed over to the apartment.
"Jaycee sleeping?" John asked when they walked in.
"Yeah, she wasn't feeling good." Phil replied. "She got sick a few times but she said that's the morning sickness."
John nodded. "Thank you for taking care of her."
"I should tell you that our parents came by and told her that they were moving to California and wouldn't be speaking to her again. I told them to extend that to me and just go. They came by when I went to get lunch. She said she's okay but I know my sister and I know it bothers her some."
"Thanks Phil." John replied. "Why don't you guys head back to your place? I think Jaycee and I need some alone time." Phil nodded and he and Charlie headed to their place.
John headed into the bedroom and saw Jaycee sleeping. He laid down beside her and wrapped his arms around her.
"You're home."
"Phil told me about your parents." He said to her. "I think it's better if they're that far away. That way, you don't have to deal with them."
"You're right." She smiled and leaned up and kissed him. "Where's Phil and Charlie?"
"I sent them to their apartment. I wanted some time alone with my beautiful wife." He said kissing her. "So, the doctor said it was okay right?'
"Yes." She smiled. "Now, what are we waiting for?" He laughed a little and kissed her. They were soon making love.
Phil and Charlie sat in their apartment after leaving John and Jaycee's. "Are you okay?" She asked as she stirred the sauce for dinner.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just worried about Jaycee."
"You can act all big and bad if you want to, I know deep down this hurts you too."
"It might a little bit. But it's probably better this way. They won't be around to constantly remind Jaycee how she's ruining her life and all that garbage. They can't see she's happy with this. And I know she will still do everything she wants in life."
"Yeah she will." Charlie replied. "But how do you really feel? Take Jaycee out of the equation. What are your feelings about your parents?"
"I hate them for always treating us so differently. And I hate them for hurting her." He sighed. "I know her having the baby and being married right now is not ideal. But Jaycee is happy. My parents should be too. But I guess it is what it is, right?"
"Yeah." She smiled. "Well, let's try to put this behind us. They're gone and we have a new niece or nephew coming soon."
Phil smiled. "Yes, we do. And you're doing great in school and we're getting ready to record the first album. Life is fantastic for us."
"It certain is." She said walking over to him. "Now, why don't we have dessert first and dinner later?"
He nodded and they headed into the bedroom. Afterward, he laid there with her resting on his chest and smiled. As long as Jaycee had them and John, she had all she needed.
The next few months flew by as everyone was busy with school and work. The band was working on their album. Jaycee was in fifth month and she and John were getting ready to find out what the baby was.
"You sure you don't want me to come with you?" Carol asked
"No, take the day off." Jaycee smiled. "You have been so good to stay with me the last few months. You should have a day off. John is meeting me there. And then we are going to announce to everyone what we're having tonight at the family dinner."
"Alright. If you're sure."
"I am." Jaycee smiled as she got her stuff together. "I will see you tonight at the restaurant." Carol nodded and followed Jaycee out. She got into her car and drove away.
Jaycee arrived at the doctor's office and headed in. She hoped John made it in time for the appointment. "Jaycee Cena." She heard the nurse say. She got up and followed the nurse to the room. She took her vital signs just as the door opened.
"I'm sorry I'm late." John said rushing in. "Traffic."
"You're here now." Jaycee smiled as the doctor walked in.
"Well Jaycee, how are you feeling?"
"I'm a little tired and some dizziness."
"Well, that's from the preeclampsia. Your blood pressure is very high and that worries me. So, let's do this ultrasound and we will go from there." Jaycee nodded as the doctor got the sonogram machine. "Okay, the baby looks good. Right size. Strong heartbeat. And it looks like you're having a little boy." She smiled. "The placenta is still low over the cervix and that worries me but I'm sure it will move as the pregnancy progresses. I want to keep a check on it." She said as she printed out the ultrasound photos.
"Is all of this serious?" John asked the doctor.
"Yes. The blood pressure and the placenta issues are serious." She said turning to them. "Jaycee, all of the conditions you're having are serious and it's rare to have them all in one pregnancy. So, I want you on complete bed rest. No more than fifteen to twenty minutes on your feet at one time. The only way to get your blood pressure down is rest. You aren't far enough along to do a c-section to deliver the baby. So, rest is the best thing right now." Jaycee nodded. "I also think we should start seeing you once a week."
"Okay." Jaycee said as the doctor walked out. She turned to John. "So I guess I'm on bed rest for the next few months."
"Yes, you are. You and this baby are going to fine and I'm making sure of that. From now on, you will not leave the house except to come to the doctor. You will not get out of bed unless it's to use the bathroom or get a bath. And I or someone else will help you with that. There will be going no where. I'm not losing you or our baby."
"Ok. What are we going to do about dinner?"
"We will move it to our house and you will stay on the couch."
She nodded and they headed out. They arrived home and she immediately got into bed. He called everyone over so they could tell them the sex of the baby and everything. He hoped the rest of the pregnancy would be calm for Jaycee and the baby. He couldn't lose them.
