Jocelyn inhaled the slightly chilly air. Today was it. Today was the day she committed her life to Francis. It was her wedding day. She was nervous, definitely nervous. The thought of her mother (Caitlin) not being able to be there. "She'll be here, even if you can't see her" Michael said walking in. Her face went red.
"I know, I just wish I could speak to her" she looked down.
"Did you ever find out what your other power was?"
"I don't- no I don't think so".
"If you think of a dead person very hard, you might be able to see them" he gestured to a chair and she sat down quickly "now picture her, picture her smiling and then picture the last image you saw of her before her body was destroyed. See how she moved, what colors were around you. If you got the image, picture the background getting blurry as if she were moving, when you see her in the room, open your eyes" he said and walked out.
She thought long and hard, until it started to work. She saw her mother standing with her back to the doors that led to the balcony where she had stood, on the other side of the room. "Mom?" Jocelyn said, confused. Caitlin smiled when she heard her name and saw Jocelyn stand up and rush toward her.
"Hi baby" she said stroking the side of her head with the back of her head.
"Mom, your actually here, I can't believe it" Jocelyn exclaimed.
"Oh baby, I've been so proud of you. Your staying strong, your not letting any of us affect your life".
"You affect my life everyday because your no longer in it, physically anyway. Wait who's "'us'"?" Jocelyn asked.
Caitlin gestured behind her, she saw Hannah, Thomas and her birth mom. Jocelyn didn't take her eyes off Ashley. Ashley was beautiful, she lit as she walked toward her. "M-mom" she said hesitantly.
"Hello Jocelyn" she smiled "oh look at the beautiful women your becoming, I'm so proud of you Jocelyn" she said.
Her face went red "why did you leave? Did you know what happened? If so, does Crawford know?"
Ashley laughed "one question at a time sweetie please. Yes I do know what went wrong and no Crawford doesn't know and he doesn't need to. My body wasn't healthy enough to have a child, but I was so surprised when you were born" she replied.
"Thats Jocelyn for you" Hannah said behind both of them.
"Hannah, oh Hannah I'm so sorry!" Jocelyn said and hugged her. She didn't fall through her which was surprising, but she couldn't feel anything, not her touch nor body heat.
"We'll all be by your side Jocelyn" she said.
"So your not leaving me to suffer and die on my own?"
"We never left" she said and they all disappeared.
Jocelyn now stood there alone in the room, she smiled as tears fell down her cheeks but she quickly dried her eyes when a knock came at the door "Jocelyn?" Francis said behind the door.
Jocelyn rushed and closed it and she heard him gasp "what's wrong?"
"Bad luck to see the bride before the wedding" she said softly, almost in a whisper as she leaned on the door as if he was holding her.
"Oh darn, I was hoping not to get more of that since we've had it so recently" he said.
She scoffed and cracked the door a bit "I'll see you soon" she said and kissed him.

"Just wait Jocelyn, after the party we'll be on our way to our honeymoon island, alone" he winked and kissed her good bye.
Jocelyn had to admit, walking down the isle with the closest thing she's ever had to a father figure with him being her biological father was pretty scary. She wondered what people would think of him "the king is her father?"
She walked to the bathroom, turned on the hot water and walked in once her robe fell to the floor. Adriana walked into her room once she was out of the shower clean to help her get ready. A few of her friends, Sara, Tanya, Kyra and Blu walked in to help with her makeup and hair. Once they were done she looked beautiful. Crawford walked through the door and looked toward Jocelyn, who looked at him once Blu was done. "You look beautiful Joce" he said.
"Oh she's not even half done sir, wait until you see the dress!" Adriana exclaimed holding the dress that was protected, she unzipped it and the beautiful dress gleamed. Jocelyns heart began to race and she stood up and took the dress from Adriana and quickly ran to the bathroom, Adriana was right behind her and helped her into it.
Jocelyn felt beautiful as much as she looked beautiful. Today was the day, and she was ready.
