A Jay Halstead Love Story

Chapter 32

A Few Months Later...

Jess' P.O.V:

Isabella just turned 6 months old. She can roll over, smile and laugh. That's all she does lately. Tomorrow is finally Adam and Cara's wedding. The day we have been waiting for, for so long. Tonight was the rehearsal dinner. I haven't been feeling great lately. I hope it will just pass by tomorrow. I roll out of bed and walk into the kitchen where I see Jay making breakfast. All of a sudden I feel sick and I run to the bathroom and throw up. I feel someone rubbing my back. I look up to see Jay. I grab mouthwash quick then go back into the kitchen.

"Are you sick?" Jay asks.

I laugh, "I'm not sure Jay. I don't have time to go to the doctor today though."

"Just go quick before the rehearsal dinner, it won't hurt," he says.

"Jay I wish I could but I can't," I sigh.

I spend all day getting ready. I've been throwing up all day. Jay is really concerned but I keep telling him that I will be fine. We have two hours before we have to leave for the rehearsal dinner.

"Hey Jay, Cara needs me early. Can you bring Isabella to the dinner and I'll meet you there?" I ask.

"Yeah that's fine babe. Hope everything is okay," He smiles.

I kiss him and walk out to my car. I pull out my phone to text Cara.

J: Hey! I haven't been feeling good so I decided to go to Med. But I told Jay I was helping you with some stuff before the dinner because I don't want him to worry.

C: No problem! I'll cover for you.

I walk into Med and see Nat.

"Hey Nat," I say. "Is Dr. Grant around?"

"I think she's actually free right now," She replies. "Are you okay?"

"I'm not sure. I haven't been feeling good lately and I've been throwing up all morning. I just want to rule out that I'm not pregnant," I explain.

"I'll call up there and tell her you're on your way," She smiles. "Good luck."

I get into the elevator and go up to see Dr. Grant. When I step out of the elevator she is already there smiling at me.

"Hi Dr. Grant," I smile.

As we walk to the room we make small talk. When we finally get to the room I sit down on the bed.

"What seems to be the problem?" She asks.

"I've been throwing up all morning and haven't been feeling great. This is exactly what happened to me when I was pregnant with Isabella," I explained. "I just want to rule out that I'm not pregnant before I am drinking at the wedding tomorrow."

"Well we can do an ultrasound to find out," She says.

She pulls up my dress and down my shorts a little to put the gel on my stomach. She starts the ultrasound to see if I am pregnant.

"Looks like you're going to have to stay away from the alcohol. Congratulations, you're eight weeks pregnant," She smiles.

"Thanks," I say shocked.

Pregnant? Again? Is Jay going to be mad? I thank her for squeezing me in and then I leave. I go down to the main floor and Natalie almost immediately greets me when I step out of the elevator.

"Well?" She questions.

"I'm pregnant," I say shocked.

"That's great news!" She smiles.

"I don't know if Jay is going to want another one," I say starting to freak out. "He didn't want Isabella at first and now he is going to have two? He's going to be so mad."

I sit down in one of the chairs with my head in my hands. A few tears roll down my cheek. I look up and Will spots me. Crap. He's coming over here.

"Are you okay?" Will asks.

"I'm fine," I fake a smile.

"Jess you've been crying," He says.

"Will if I tell you something you have to promise to not tell Jay," I say sternly.

"I won't. So what's wrong?" He asks.

"I'm pregnant," I sigh.

"That's great!" Will says.

"No!You know how Jay reacted the first time. This is going to be the same," I say.

"No it's not. He's a dad now so it will be different," He explains.

"Thanks you two," I hug them. "I have to get to a rehearsal dinner."

J: I'm on my way! Remember don't tell Jay!

C: He's not here yet don't worry!

I speed over to the dinner. Everything goes smoothly and Jay doesn't mention anything about coming early or me throwing up. Thankfully he just let's it go.

The Next Day..

Today is Cara and Adam's wedding. We all get ready and head to the church. Everything goes smoothly there. The photographer even got a cute photo of Jay, Isabella and I. Finally it was the reception and it was my turn to make a speech since I am Cara's maid of honor. I grab a glass of water and the mic.

"Hi everyone. First I want to congratulate the newly weds. So congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Adam Ruzek. Cara, I am so happy that you are now my sister. I am so glad that I met you in New York and we instantly clicked. I can't wait for what the future holds for you two." I smile.

I listen to Atwater's speech about Adam. Towards the end I start to feel very nauseous. When Kevin's speech is over I drink to it. Then I run straight for the bathroom. I start throwing up. After I sit on the bathroom floor and start crying. I hear a knock on the door.

"Go away," I say.

"Jess, it's me," Cara says. "I also brought Kim because I can't really move in this dress."

I come out of the stall to greet them. I wipe a tear away and look at them with a sad and scared expression.

"What's wrong?" Kim asked.

"All you've been doing is throwing up these past two days," Cara says.

"You two have to promise not to say anything! Because I haven't said anything to Jay," I reply.

"Pinky swear," They both say.

"I'm pregnant again," I sigh.

"That's amazing," They both say.

"You should tell Jay tonight," Cara says. "He's really worried about you."

"You don't think I'll ruin your night?" I ask.

"Not at all," She smiles and gives me a hug.

"Then I guess I'll go find him," I smile.

I wander around until I find Jay. When I spot him I grab his arm and pull him into the room where all of the bridal parties stuff is.

"Jess what's wrong?" Jay asks. "I'm really worried about you."

"Jay, I'm pregnant," I reply.
