Return to New York by Sharon
Chapter Ten
2 weeks later...
Jessica and Cristian return to Llanview as husband and wife after a whirlwind honeymoon compliments of their old friends. Viki and Natalie were stunned to see them both standing there with a grave ill Shelby.
Viki: Oh, Jessie. Jessie come here. Let me hold you.
She hands the baby to Cristian and walks into her mothers arms and they both cry.
Viki: I have missed you. I've missed you so much. Let me look at you.
Jess: Mom, I'm fine. Its my daughter who's not...
Viki: That's right. I haven't met my grandaughter yet.
Jess: Would you like to hold her?
Viki: Oh god yes.
Jess: (taking her out of Cristian's arms) This is Shelby Victoria..
Viki: Oh she's beautiful..
She leaves her daughter with Viki and turns to Natalie.
Jess: I know you hate me right now and I'm sorry. But do you think we can deal with this like sisters? I can't take it back Nat. But I am sorry and I'd like to find a way to make it up to you. Would you consider having lunch with me tomorrow?
Nat: Jess, thats not necessary. I have had a lot of time to think about this is the past couple of weeks. I heard you got married and I'm happy for you. I think our relationship is much more important. I know you didn't mean to hurt me.
Jess: No I didn't. I really thought it was over between you two.
Natalie: Me too. So what do you say we put this all behind us and move on?
Jess: I'd like that. (they hug)
Jess: I'd hate to break up this party. But Cristian and I have to get Shelby to the hospital. I need to see if I'm pregnant again so she'll have a chance to live.
Viki: Why don't we all go?
Jess: Sounds good.
After Jessica and Cristian walk out the door, Natalie turns to her mother.
Nat: This is so hard mama.
VIki: But I'm so proud of you sweetheart. It will get easier.
Nat: I hope so.
At the hospital...
Jessica walks out of the room with a grin on her face.
Jess: It worked. I'm pregnant.
Nat: Is she a match?
Jess: Yeah, she is. The doctors going to be taking emniotic fluid soon.
Nat: How soon?
Jess: As soon as the baby is six or seven months, they're going to induce labor. Hopefully the nightmare will be over then.
Viki: I'm sure it will be, baby. You just have to keep thinking happy thoughts. You think you can do that?
Jess: I certainly can try. Cris... (he pulls her into a tight embrace and they try their best to stay positive)
6 Months later...
Cristian is in the delivery room as Viki, Natalie, and Clint remain outside and pray. It was touch and go for awhile but Cris managed to get her through it even though she was screaming at him all the way through. After they take the necessary fluids from the baby, she gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy. She was exhausted as she watched both her kids fight for their lives.
Cris:Well beautiful, what would you like to name him?
Jess: I'd like to name him after my brothers and yours if you don't mind.
Cris: That sounds wonderful. What's the name?
Jess: Let's see... Anjo Kevin Vega.
Cris: Its different. But I like it. (they kiss)
2 weeks later...
Jessica and Cristian are overjoyed when they get to hold their son for the first time.
Jess: Isn't he handsome? Just like his daddy.
Cris: Oh, Anjo. I hope you know how much we love you.
Jess: Yeah, Anjo. Your mommy and daddy's big boy.
Natalie: Yeah guys, hes beautiful. Will you come with me? We have a surprise for you.
Jess: Does it have to be now? We just got hold him.
Nat: I know. But trust me. It will be worth it.
Cris: Alright. I guess.
Jess: See you baby. Well be right back, I promise
Cris: I love you Anjo.
Jess: I love you.
Natalie leads them to the sunroom. The room was filled with candles and flowers.
Jess: What is this place?
Clint: Ah, I thought you'd never ask.
Jess: Daddy (she hugs him) I love you so much.
Clint: me too.
Viki: We thought you both deserved a little break.So we want you to have another wedding.
Natalie: Don't worry sis, agreed to be your bridesmaid along with mom and daddy will give you away. I mean if you want.
Jess: Thank you. Thank you all so much.
Andrew: Shall we get started?
Cris: Lets.
They say their own vows.
Cris: You know, Jess. I can't remember a time I wasn't in love with you. I mean, I said I was over you, said I didn't care about your life, but I was fooling myself. I loved you Jess. I loved you so much it hurt. Maybe thats why I pushed you away. I still can't belive i'm standing here with you. I can't believe we have two kids. This is my vow Jess. I will never leave you again and I will always do everything possible to love you like theres no tomorrow and keep you safe forever.
Jess: I will I had the world to offer to you Cris. But all I have to offer is my heart. I love you and I will love you for the rest of my life. My vow is to always keep you and our kids safe and happy. You are my world.
Andrew: I now pronounce you husband and wife... again.. you may now kiss the bride.
They kiss.
A couple of weeks later they take their kids home and of course they lived happily ever after.
