After the funeral Jack decided to bring the younger kids to meet Kelly. Since Tony wasn't exactly wild about hospitals. He opted to stay home with Darla. Since there was no way she was making the drive to Scranton eight months pregnant. Jethro wished that Jack would just stay in Stillwater when he took Abby and Timmy home. He just wanted to be alone with his daughter. Not have his dad hovering over him all the time. He knew that Jack meant well and wanted to do right by his eldest son but it was still driving him crazy. As Jack drove towards Scranton. He started to wish that either Darla had driven the kids up or that she and Jack had just insisted they wait to meet Kelly until she was home. Abby and Timmy were joking around and laughing in the backseat. As if they hadn't just buried the mother of the niece they were dying to meet and weren't driving up to meet the prematurely born baby girl. It was like they were on a school field-trip. It made Jethro wanted to scream.

"Hey Jethro?" Abby asked.

"What?" Jethro questioned.

"Who does the baby look like?" Abby asked.

"She looks like Jenny! Hence why in the picture I showed you this morning she looked like Jenny! Because she looks like Jenny or have you forgotten?!" Jethro snapped.

"Sooorrrryyyy!" Abby moaned.

"That was mean." Timmy commented.

"Well I am sick of you kids asking stupid questions and being stupid!" Jethro snapped.

"Leroy apologize." Jack warned.

"Fine I am sorry I snapped at you." Jethro replied rolling his eyes.

The first stop in Scranton was to the hotel. So Jack could rent cots for Abby and Timmy to sleep on that night. That was another thing that made Jethro crazy. Why did the kids have to stay over night? Why couldn't Jack just drive them home? He didn't want them around. He loved Abby and Tim but he just wanted to be alone. Kelly was the only person he wanted to see right now. Except for Jenny that is but he was never going to see her again. Back in the hotel Jethro sat alone in the hotel room with his head in his hands. He tried to fight it but the tears just started flowing. At least Abby and Timmy were down in the lobby with Jack. So they wouldn't be asking him if he was OK and begging him to stop crying already. He wanted to scream when the door opened. Until he realized that it was just Jack.

"Leroy?" Jack called.

"Where are Abby and Timmy?" Jethro asked.

"Playing with a couple of kids in the lobby." Jack explained.

"Oh great so this trip is just a play-date." Jethro scoffed.

"I actually insisted they wait for me downstairs." Jack explained.

"Why?" Jethro asked.

"So I could talk to you." Jack replied.

"About what?" Jethro asked.

"Well for starters the drive up here." Jack replied.

"I am sorry I yelled at Abby and Timmy but they were just driving me crazy." Jethro replied.

"What's really bothering you?" Jack asked.

"You should know!" Jethro snapped.

"I had trouble controlling my emotions after your mom died." Jack replied.

"How can they be so happy?" Jethro asked.

"They are young." Jack replied.

"And selfish." Jethro added.

"Would it make you feel better if I left you here when I drive them back tomorrow?" Jack offered.

"Could you just leave me here?" Jethro begged.

"I really don't feel comfortable leaving you alone in a strange city." Jack commented.

"Please dad I will stay in the hotel unless I am in the hospital." Jethro replied.

"I will think it over." Jack replied.

"Can we go see Kelly now?" Jethro asked.

"Are you feeling calmer?" Jack questioned.

"Yes sir." Jethro replied.

"OK let's go." Jack replied.

Tony made his way into the living room. He was feeling guilty for not going to see Kelly but he hated hospitals. He had never liked them but after his mom died. He had developed an actual fear of them. Being alone in that hospital room with his mom when she died. His dad was nowhere to be found for days and when he finally showed up. He yelled at Tony and said that it was his fault that his mother had died. The only good thing about his fear. Was that there was somebody to look after Darla so Jack didn't have to worry. There was one problem with him staying alone with Darla though. He was scared to death to be alone with her. She had felt bad since just after Jack and Jethro headed up to Scranton. Today she was really acting strange. She seemed distracted and like he was in pain. He did;t think he could handle losing another mom. Especially when they had just lost Jenny. It was so hard seeing Jethro so upset. It would be like hell on Earth if both Jack and Jethro lost woman they loved at what was supposed to be a happy time. He saw Darla lying on the couch rubbing her stomach with a panicked look on her face.

"TONY!" Darla cried.

"Darla are you alright?" Tony asked.

"My water broke Tony." Darla explained.

"Please tell me you just sat on a bottle." Tony pleaded.

"I wish Tony but I am in labor." Darla replied.

"I'm going to call Jack!" Tony cried running from the room.

Tim and Abby couldn't go into the NICU but the doctors decided that it was time to let Kelly take a trial run outside of the incubator. They brought her into a private room where the family was waiting for her. The nurse placed Kelly into Jethro's arms and he called Abby and Tim over to see her. Jack had left the room shortly before the nurse brought Kelly in apparently Tony had called.

"Awe she's so cute." Abby cooed.

"She really is. She looks just like Jenny." Jethro replied.

"She does." Timmy added.

"Kids?" Jack called from the doorway.

"What is it daddy?" Abby asked.

"Is everything OK at home?" Tim asked.

"What's going on?" Jethro asked.

"I hate to cut this visit short but Tony called. Darla is in labor." Jack replied.

"Sorry I have to leave you Kelly." Jethro whispered.

"No Jethro you can stay here." Jack replied trying to keep himself calm.
