Jess is by the tree across from her job. The flowers and tree suddenly die. She's in shock as she looks at the flower in her hand, it dies as well. She tears up as it begins to rain. She runs and ends up at the apartment building. She quickly heads inside and starts walking down the hallway. She sees police investigation tape by the door where the two girls lived but just keeps walking until she reaches her door where it's somehow attached. She unlocks it and heads in. The whole apartment was clean, the broken window was fixed. Everything that was at the house was there as well. It looked like nothing ever happened. She looks down at her stomach and rubs it

Jess: Thank you

As the days went on Jess had stayed home all day sketching and painting the pictures her and Michael took then setting them on the wall. She never wanted to forget those memories. Every night she cried and cried until she fell asleep while Michael felt alone in his cell. He wanted Jess with him

Nine months later...

Jess is at work sweeping, glancing at the tree that had died. She remembers when Michael made the flowers come out and...

She feels something wet go down her legs and looks

Jess: I think my water just broke

Her co workers hear her and run over. They see and panic. Her boss starts calling an ambulance. Moments later, she's in the hospital room screaming as the doctors tell her to push. She does and screams more while hanging onto the bars on the bed

Doctor: One more push

She pushes one more time and the baby comes out. She falls back on the bed and catches her breath, hearing the baby cry

Doctor: It's a boy

They cut the umbilical cord and start cleaning the baby. Jess watches until they wrap him up and give him to her. She smiles big once she sees him

Jess: Hey you, it's me again

She kisses his head

An hour later...

Jess is rocking the baby while humming a song to him

The door opens. Jess looks and sees that it's Gabriel. Her eyes get wide as they stare at each other. He moves away from the door. Michael walks in. She is shocked

Jess: Michael

He smiles big

Michael: Jess

He goes over and kisses her then puts his head on hers

Jess: Meet your son

He looks at him

Michael: He's... small?

She laughs

Jess: Yeah he's a baby

Michael: But he was... taller
