Hannah Jean and Jade sat in the hospital together. Jenna was working and couldn't join them. Quinn had a meeting with her publicist and was unable to back out of it to attend. It was just Hannah Jean and Jade and both women were fine with it.
The two women talked about the nursery that was complete and beyond precious for the two boys.
"I don't know if I've thanked you for all that you've done for me and our family, but thank you Jade." Jade waved her off. "There's no need to thank me. You all have blessed and enriched my life beyond measure. I'm just happy we're all doing well." Hannah Jean nodded her head.
Her strength was coming back to her and the doctors were hopeful. The side effects were few and manageable. The wigs were doing their job and she was able to eat more and keep things down.
"I think I'm going to tell them." Jade looked at her with wide eyes. "The doctors have been so positive and I finally feel better than I have in a long while. I know I can beat this thing and I am honestly running out of lies to tell Harry when a side effect does pop up." Jade sighed heavily.
"I think the sooner you tell them the better." Hannah Jean nodded her head. "I'll tell them after Valentine's Day. They'll hopefully still be riding the high of the holiday." Jade chuckled at her.
"We'll have a newborn possibly by then." Hannah Jean smiled. "Even better. I can tell them while they're love drunk on newborn baby smell." Jade laughed at her as they talked about the supplies they needed to get in preparation for Jake.
The stalker had gone quiet and Jade was thankful. She no longer felt like she was being watched though she made a point to alert her security detail when she did so they could do a sweep of the crowd and people present. They never found anything further making her feel crazy, but she held onto the techniques Callie taught her and stayed centered.
Days went by and Jade found herself nesting. Jason had never seen the house so clean, but had to remind Jade that she needed her rest for when Jake made his debut.
Jade and Jason had just settled in for bed February 12th when Jason got the call. "Fuck! Right now!" He said frantically as he started throwing on a pair of joggers and a hoodie.
"She's in labor?!" Jade asked both excited and nervous. Jason nodded his head as he told Elizabeth to stay calm and that he'd meet her at the hospital. He could tell from her tone that she was scared and tried to be kind and comforting. He was finally going to be rid of her and he couldn't let that joy overshadow her very real fear.
"You can't wear that to meet Jacob!" Jade exclaimed earning an eyeroll. "What do you want me to wear to meet our newborn, Jade? A suit?" Jade huffed before standing up.
"What are you doing?" Jason asked looking for his cellphone that was currently in his hand. "I'm coming with you. I won't be in the delivery room, but I want to be near our son." Jason nodded his head as he helped her get dressed.
