One I've Been Missing

My Love Won't Let You Down

2014

"Fuck!! What am I supposed to do now, Leigh? I haven't finished college yet, I earn a shit salary in a coffee shop, and my mom is gonna kill me." Jade expresses her frustration to her best friend while holding three positive pregnancy tests.

"Jay, you need to breathe" Leigh says, trying to calm her friend. "I know it's not the ideal time, but I'm sure you'll be a great mom anyway" Jade lets out a little scoff.

Leigh pauses a little uncertainly before she asks. "Have you tried finding the girl? Who knows, maybe she's not an asshole and will help you out; after all, the baby is hers too."

'Even if I wanted to find her, I can't. I know absolutely nothing about her... Hell, I don't even remember her name. The only thing I know is that she has platinum blonde hair, blue eyes, a scar and a tattoo with the year 1965 on her stomach. "

"Unless she was arrested before, and you know a cop, her tattoo, and scar aren't very helpful." Leigh says with a little laugh, and Jade laughs along.

"But in all seriousness, you need to tell Norma, I'm sure she will be a little pissed, but she'll be here for you because she loves you, and she will love her grandchild. Also, Andre and I will help with everything you need as well."

Jade puts the tests aside, gets up and walks over to Leigh-Anne. "You're the best Lee, I don't know what I would do without you." Jade says this sincerely while hugging her friend.

They continue to hug for a little longer, and when they part ways, Leigh says, "I don't know what you would do without me either." earning a chuckle from Jade.

Turns out that Leigh-Anne was right, Jade told her mom, and she was a bit dismayed that Jade got pregnant from some random person at a club, however she still supported her all the way. Towards the end of her pregnancy, Norma moved to London, so she could help Jade take care of the baby while working and studying.

With the help of her mom, Leigh, and Andre, she was able to graduate and take care of her beautiful baby girl, Jasmine. And yes, she chose this name because of Aladdin. Leigh, as always, gave her shit because of her love for Disney, saying that she didn't know if the child was Jasmine or Jade.

Everything was going as well as it could, but Jade sometimes worried about what she would tell Jasmine when she grew up and started asking questions about her other parent. She also wondered what it would be like if she met the girl again.

Little did she know that in a couple of years, that's exactly what would happen
