Jessica woke up and saw the doctor standing beside her.

"What.. what happened?" She whispered.

"You fainted.  How are you feeling?"

"A little light headed but I'm okay."

"Here Jess." A woman hands her something small to eat and drink.

"Thank you.  I'm sorry you guys."

"No, don't apologize!  Stay here for a while just so we can make sure you're okay.  We've called Danny and he's coming to pick you up."

"This is so embarrassing!"

"Don't be embarrassed, you've gone through a lot these past couple months."

"Yeah.. well thank you.."

Jessica then places her hand on her stomach and her eyes slightly widen.

A nurse quickly hands her the trashcan just in time.

"Oh shit.." Jessica cries softly.

She then leans back, tears still rolling down her cheeks.

"You okay?"

"I'm better.. thank you."

"Jessica.. I know this is crazy and I don't mean to upset you anymore than you already are but.. is there a chance you could be pregnant?"

"How could you ask me that?! I just lost my son two and a half months ago!"

"I'm sorry, I was only asking.  I didn't want to upset you.. we can run some tests after you've rested."

"No! I just came back too soon. I need to be at home grieving my son, not here. I just want Danny to come get me, I want go home." Jessica says in tears.

"Okay, that's fine. I apologize."

Jessica sniffles and wipes her cheeks.
Just then Danny walked in.
When Jessica saw him she cried even more, holding her arms up for a hug.

"Aw Jessie.. baby, it's okay.." Danny sits beside her and holds her in his arms.

"Shh, shh.. you're gonna make yourself sick again."

"Please take me home."

"I will, honey.  Why don't you eat something before?"

"I'm not hungry.."

"Jess, come on, you've gotta eat, baby."

"I can't, I throw everything up."

Danny looks down and says, "You got sick the other day.. What's up?"

"It's just because I'm upset."

"You sure?"

Jessica lifts her head and gives him a look.

"Sorry. Here, just eat one bite. Please?"

"Fine.." Jessica groans.

**

All of the staff left Danny and Jessica alone while Jessica ate a bit and had something to drink.

Danny sat beside her, just watching.
He moved a piece of her hair and softly caressed her face.

"Boo?"

"Hm?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah."

"Do you think you could be pregnant?"

"Jesus Christ! Why does everyone keep asking me that?! Daniel, we just lost Simba!  How could I have another baby so soon?  I don't know if I could ever trust my body to have another baby after losing him."

"We haven't been careful, Jess."

"Don't you think I know that!" Jessica tosses the plate to the side and stands up.

"How could we be so irresponsible after going through what we went through?!"

"It's a hard time and we both needed to be together in that way, Jess."

"Put a damn condom on, Daniel! We can't lose another baby!"

"Jess, first of all, we don't know for sure.
Second, don't talk like that!  If you are, the baby will be fine."

"Stop it!" Jessica grabs her hair and screams.
"Please stop it and just take me home!" She cries.

"Okay.. but I think you should make an appointment with Dr. Morton."

"Please. Stop.  Talking."

Danny sighs and picks up the mess Jessica has made.

***

The next morning Jessica woke up heading straight for the restroom.
After cleaning up she walked back to the bedroom and looked at Danny.

"You okay, Boo?"

"Yeah.. Can you call and make me an appointment, please?"

"Of course."

"Thank you.."

Danny let his job know he would be late for work. He didn't want Jessica to go in by herself.

Jessica was silent the whole morning. She was absolutely terrified of being pregnant again.

After explaining all of her symptoms to her doctor, they had her take a urine test.
Now, Danny and Jessica sat alone waiting for the doctor to return. Not one made a peep for the longest time.

"Jess?"

"What?"

"If you are.. it's gonna be okay. The baby will be fine."

Jessica scoffs and nods her head.
"You mean you actually want this one? You're not going to run away for a month while it sinks in? You're not going to be an ass for months until I yell and snap you out of it?"

"Jess!"

"Don't talk to me, Daniel."

"Stop acting like this is something that I wanted! I fucked up, I know I did, but stop throwing that in my face!"

Jessica rolls her eyes and doesn't continue the conversation.

Just then the doctor walks in.
"Alright Jessica, I have your results."

Jessica takes a deep breath and sits up a little.

"Okay?"

"Jessica..."

"Tell me!"

"You're pregnant."

Tears immediately fill Jessica's eyes.  She was terrified.

"I'd like to do an ultrasound right now to make sure everything looks okay."

Jessica nods and lays back. She lifts her blouse revealing her bump still left from baby Simba.

Dr. Morton squirts ultrasound gel onto her, then slightly presses the transducer into her lower abdomen.

Danny and Jessica suddenly see a tiny little baby on the screen.
Jessica covered her mouth and began to cry. She couldn't believe what she saw.
Of course she loves this baby, but right now all she could think of was Simba.

After the doctor left the room Danny sat beside her.

"Jess?  How are you feeling?"

"I don't know.. I mean.. I love them but.. I'm so scared."

"I know.  We just have to pray everything will be okay." Danny says placing his hand on her back.

Jessica then wraps her arms around him and cuddles into his chest.

"I'm sorry about earlier.  It wasn't just you, it was both of us.."

...

"I blame you and I'm just as big of an ass as you are."

Danny chuckles. "No babe, you're not."

".. I can't believe I'm pregnant again."

"Crazy, huh?"

"Yeah.. I hope we get to meet our baby, Danny."

"We will, honey."

**

"Are you sure you don't want me to just stay home with you today?"

"No, just go to work, I'll be fine.  I'm gonna take a nap before I have to pick up Autumn from Sam's."

"Alright.  I love you."

"Love you too."

Immediately after Danny left, Jessica walked to Simba's room.
She took his stuffed animal and sat down on the rocking chair.

"Simba?  Mommy needs to talk.." Jessica sighs.

"Well.. looks like you're gonna be a big brother.  Heh!  Crazy, right?
Sim, I don't know how to feel.  I'm happy about your brother or sister but I don't want to lose them.. I want to be happy, Simba.. but I miss you so much." Jessica cries.

"You should be in my arms right now.." Jessica said looking at the stuffed animal.

"But.. I know you sent this baby to us.. to make our days brighter.  So thank you, son.  We all appreciate it.
..All I ask is for you to help keep them safe.
Knowing you're watching over him or her really makes me feel better.  You're a great big brother, Simba." Jessica says, tears rolling down her cheeks as she continued rocking back and forth.

She then held her Simba to her chest and placed her right hand on her belly.

She patted it softly and said, "It's going to be okay.... we're gonna make it, little baby."
