[It had been a while but Jessica Hendrix had finally returned to Beverly Hills and she wasn't sure this was the right decision. She had come back mainly so that she could have her baby and try to restablish some sort of relationship with her brother Braxton. She wasn't sure that was at all possible. She has just entered her ninth month of pregnancy in which she knows she having a little boy. She has been back in Beverly Hills for about a week getting her house all set up. Perhaps she shouldn't be on her own at the house what with the birth coming up so fast but in all honesty she likes it on her own. She has yet to see anyone she used to associate with while living in Beverly Hills before. On this date though she is getting some last minute baby shopping in because she knows within the next week that going out is probably not going to be much of an option. As she is in the store picking out a few little trinkets she might want for the house she turns just in time to see someone she had hoped she wouldn't see and she can feel her throat tighten. It was Robbie but luckily he had his back to her but she stands just frozen in place. Robbie had just gotten out of rehab, it had been all in the papers that the famous rock star was in intense rehab for a major cocaine problem and a pill addiction. Robbie didn't want to go to rehab, but he just did it because it would mean he would have avoided the jail time being who he is and everything. Matter of fact, he still had his ID bracelet on from rehab, and he was basically just ducking out of the way of paparazzi's cameras by coming into the store. Wearing a pair of light blue faded denim jeans, with holes scattered here and there, and a black wifebeater.. along with his trademark black beanie with his band's logo on it. Jessica felt as though she had to get out of there. After how he had treated her the last time they were together she wasn't sure if she could be around him as it might open up old wounds. She glanced around for any way out of the store so she wouldn't have to face him. It was no use, she chose to turn her back so that maybe he wouldn't recognize her. At the current moment, he appeared to be on his cell phone. Going through his phone book, he pulled up an old number, not sure if he should push send or not but he did anyways. Jessica quickly glanced behind her to see if he was still standing there and alas he was. She swears under her breath just wanting to get out of the store and back to her house. At this time though her unborn baby boy has taken it upon himself to start up a kicking session. Jessica can only exhale deeply and rub her tummy with her free hand.]
Jessica Hendrix: Come on Babydoll not right now. [She inhales and then exhales.] Give Momma a break, please? [She continues to keep her back to Robbie. At this time her cell phone began to ring with the ring tone 'Talk Dirty To Me' by Poison. She raised an eyebrow as she glanced at her Caller ID and saw that it was Robbie. She isn't sure if she should answer it and just stands there frozen, swearing under breath.]
[Within a moment he flipped the phone shut, figuring she'd ignore him anyways as he started to walk more into the store, spotting a blonde as his eyes scanned down the back of her body, since her back was too him. Being in rehab for a while, he was checking out everything and as he got closer to this girl, he was nearly directly behind her, and his senses kind of kicked in. Raising an eyebrow.. he stood behind her. Her scent was familiar and he could guess on the spot that it was Jess just from that.]
Robert Mitchell: I see you're still wearing that perfume I bought for you.
Jessica Hendrix: [She shut her eyes tight for a moment, not turning around. She did speak though.] How could I not, it's my favorite...
Robert Mitchell: [Putting his arm gently on her shoulder, turning her around as his eyes scan he front of her body.] Wow.. you look.. absolutely gorgeous.
Jessica Hendrix: Yeah right...[She says as she kind cowars away from him. He still scared her what with how he acted when he was on the drugs.] I'm huge Robert, you don't have to lie. [A lot of hurt still remains as she can feel her old wounds starting to open.]
Robert Mitchell: You're really not that big Jess.. [He places his hand on her stomach for a moment after hesitating.] I'm uh.. sorry I really haven't been there for you.
Jessica Hendrix: [She looks down at his hand on her stomach and then back up at him.] You've been busy, it's no big deal. I've been fine and so it's all right. [She looked away unsure of what else to say to him.]
Robert Mitchell: [Feeling that she was uncomfortable, he quickly pulled his hand back.] So uh.. do you wanna go somewhere and talk?
Jessica Hendrix: About what exactly? [She says as she looks up at him. It was obvious that she was putting on a brave face to hide her hurt.] What's done is done and it's okay Robbie, really. I'm not mad about anything that happened. We just weren't supposed to end up together, so don't worry about it. [She glances down at her watch and then back up at him.] I should go though, I'm getting tired and need to lay down.
Robert Mitchell: Yeah.. [He puts his hands in his pockets.] I guess I don't deserve any of your time but it's cool.. I can take a hint, I've always been pretty good at that I guess.
Jessica Hendrix: What do you expect me to say Robbie? Do you even remember how you acted toward me the last time you saw me or any of the things you said?
Robert Mitchell: Yes and no... Jess anything before a few months ago is just one big blur to me.
Jessica Hendrix: You told me you didn't love me. [She looks down as it hurt to say that aloud.] And that you just said it to get a piece of ass. That's probably one of the nicest thing you said to me that day.
Robert Mitchell: [He brushes a strand of hair behind her ear.] Come back to my place so we can talk Jess.. you know I didn't mean any of those things that I said.
Jessica Hendrix: [She contemplates it for a moment but shakes her head, still looking down.] I can't Robbie, I can't let myself get close to you again. It hurt too much the last time and I can't do it again, I'm sorry. [At this point the baby gave her one good hard kick which caused her to bend over a bit and place a hand to her stomach.] Easy Baby Boy, easy on Momma okay?
Robert Mitchell: [Placing his hand on Jesse's lower back with a look of concern on his face.] Come on Jess, let's get you out of this store.. [He loops his arm with hers, pulling her towards the door gently.] My trucks just outside you really shouldn't be out you know.
[She exhales deeply and let's him take her out to his truck. He helps her into it as she keeps her eyes adverted out of her passanger window. She doesn't want to look at him as it's just too hard. And the fact that the baby had decided today would be the day he wanted to kick a lot didn't make things any easier. Robbie drove back to his house, walking Jesse up to the door and inside of the house. Everything was pretty much exactly the same as the last time she saw it.. since he hadn't been here really.]
Robert Mitchell: Here sit down.. [He guides her towards the couch.]
Jessica Hendrix: Thanks. [She says still not meeting his eyes as she takes a seat. Finally she looks at him.] You know really I'll be fine at home. I'm just overly tired Robbie, you don't have to look after me.
Robert Mitchell: Well I feel like it's the least that I owe you.. [He takes a seat next to her, eyeing her over.] So uh.. when are you due?
Jessica Hendrix: Next week actually. [She sat back on the couch while resting her hands on her stomach.] That's why I came back to Beverly Hills, I wanted to be closer to Braxton I guess. I was kind of hoping having Evan would help us establish some sort of brother sister relationship again.
Robert Mitchell: I see... [He leans back, glancing at his watch.] And did that work?
Jessica Hendrix: No actually, he's barely said two words to me since I've been back. [She notices him glancing at his watch.] If you have plans or something I can go. It's not a big deal.
Robert Mitchell: No.. I don't have any plans.. I'm just keeping an eye on the time so I can tell how long it's gonna take for you to forgive me. [He moves so that he's facing Jesse keeping his eyes on her.]
Jessica Hendrix: Robbie come on it's not about forgiveness, I've all ready forgiven you for everything. I had to for the baby, I just can't get close to you again. [She tries to keep her eyes off of him.] It just has to be that way.
[Robbie exhaled for a moment before he put his hand on Jesse's chin to make her look at him, looking into her eyes for a second before he leaned closer to her.]
Robert Mitchell: Jess you have to already know how much I still love you.
[Jessica tries to look away but he won't let her. She finally does look him in the eyes, the first time really since they saw each other.]
Jessica Hendrix: I can't take the chance of getting hurt again, I'm sorry.
Robert Mitchell: Well I can't let you go that easily, I'm sorry. [Robbie leans closer to Jess slowly, placing a soft kiss on her lips at first to see what she would do.]
Jessica Hendrix: [She let him kiss her lips but didn't return it. She wants to but she can't let herself fall for him again.] Please don't do this, please don't put me in this situation.
Robert Mitchell: [He exhales slowly near her ear.] I'm sorry Jess.. what do I have to do?
Jessica Hendrix: For starters you can tell me that you believe me that I never called the cops on you. [She turns so that she meets his eyes.] That would be a good start.
Robert Mitchell: [He nods.] Yeah.. you're right.. I know. I'm not proud of anything I said or did whether I remember it or not.. I just want you back.. [He puts his hand on her thigh, rubbing her leg gently.] Things aren't the same without you.
Jessica Hendrix: [She tries to push his hand away.] It's in the past now and we just have to move on you know? We might just have to face up that we may not be right together.
[After pushing his hand away she looks down at her skirt, using her hands to play with the hem of it. Robbie could take a hint that Jess wasn't going to give in to him and there was an akward moment of silence as he pulled away, leaning back on the couch, finding himself drumming with his hands on his own thighs as he starts to hum one of his bands songs to keep the sound of quietness out of the room. Finally after the long silence, she turns and looks at him.]
Jessica Hendrix: I'm sorry Robbie I just...[Evan had kicked her again, causing her to wince slightly. She turns and looks at him.] Honestly, I'm scared to death of you.
Robert Mitchell: It's cool.. you don't have to explain yourself to me anymore.
Jessica Hendrix: So now you're gonna get an attitude with me aren't you?
[Robbie doesn't say anything as he gets up off of the couch to take a pace around the house to try and cool off.. he was about to start going through a withdraw and he could feel it coming on, and the way Jess was denying him was starting to irk him even more and he really didn't want to go off on her to make her even more upset at him. She saw how he was starting to pace, which was something he did when he wasn't too happy. She finally gets herself up off of the couch.]
Jessica Hendrix: I should probably go...
Robert Mitchell: If that's what you want, I can take you home where ever you're calling home at now a days.
Jessica Hendrix: It's the house I was staying at the last time I saw you...And really you don't have to, I can call a cab.
Robert Mitchell: Jess.. pregnant women do not belong riding in the back of a dirty ass cab.
Jessica Hendrix: [She knows he's right as she stands there awkward.] I don't want to put you out though.
Robert Mitchell: Put me out of what? God damnit Jesse will you stop acting this way?
Jessica Hendrix: Than how exactly do you want me to act because this isn't exactly easy on me either. This is the first time I've seen you in months and I'm sorry but it's thrown me off. [She narrows her eyes at him.] Sorry if I can't act all excited to see you and so in love with you right now. It's gonna take me some time, I have a lot of hurt I still have to work through.
Robert Mitchell: Well.. figure out what you wanna do. There's nothing else I can say or do so I'm just gonna stand here and look stupid. [He folds his arms a bit as he leans against the wall.]
Jessica Hendrix: How would you be acting toward me if I had treated you how you treated me? Would you be so eager to let me back into your life knowing that any moment I could hurt you just as bad if not worse?
Robert Mitchell: Okay.. alright, you made your point. I'm just an asshole, I know this now.. can we please move on?
Jessica Hendrix: You know what? If I stay here all we're going to do is fight so I should go. [She starts to walk toward the door when she feels another kick coming on. This one causes her to stop and wince. After a few seconds she has regained her composure and continues to walk to the door.]
[Robbie walks over to where Jess is, using his hand to help her remain stable.]
Robert Mitchell: Jess.. enough of this.. come on, you're gonna go up stairs and lay down in my bed to get some rest.. I don't care what you say, this has been happening for the last hour.
Jessica Hendrix: Really I'm okay. [She tries to smile reassuringly at him.] He's just a little spitfire, just like his dad. So no worries. I just need to take a long hot bath and go to bed.
Robert Mitchell: Come on.. you can take a bath later when you go home. [He guides her towards the stairs.] When you wake up I'll take you home.
Jessica Hendrix: [She goes with him and in all honesty it feels good to be back beside him, but she won't let him know she's starting to cave.] Why are you so insistant on this? I'm a big girl Robbie.
Robert Mitchell: Because I still care about you Jess.. [As he opens the door to his room.] Isn't it obvious?
Jessica Hendrix: [She can only nod as he helps her in.] Yeah it is and I know you're trying. [As she steps into the room, she looks around, as it's like taking a trip down memory lane.] Wow, nothing's changed in here...
Robert Mitchell: Pretty much.. [As she sits down on the bed he shoves his hands in his pockets.] Well you know where everything is if you wanna watch tv or something before you fall asleep.. I'll just be downstairs.
Jessica Hendrix: [As she sits on the bed, she looks at him.] Wait...[She says as she looks down at her lap.] Why don't you...[She looks back up at him.] Stay up here with me? I mean you look pretty tired to and all...
Robert Mitchell: [He turns around] Well I'm not really tired but I'll keep you company until you fall asleep. [He takes a seat on the edge of the bed]
Jessica Hendrix: Good. [She says as she pulls the covers back and gets underneath them. She notices him at the end of the bed.] Can you come lay by me? I hate being in this bed alone...
Robert Mitchell: [Leaning back as he positions himself next to her.] Alright.. but close your eyes and get some rest, you could use it Jess. I'm worried about you
Jessica Hendrix: [She turns her head and looks at him.] You don't have to be worried about me, I'm fine Rob. I promise. [She offers him a smile as she keeps her hands on her stomach.] The baby's fine, everything's fine.
Robert Mitchell: That's good.. [He leans back with his head on the pillow closing his eyes and yawns.] I guess I am kind of tired.
Jessica Hendrix: Can I ask you something before you fall asleep on me?
Robert Mitchell: Mmhmm..
Jessica Hendrix: What happened with you and Tina?
Robert Mitchell: Well she just kept shoving drugs at me and I fucking overdosed and I just haven't talked to her since..
Jessica Hendrix: Since you went into rehab? [She asks as she turns her body so she's now on her side.]
Robert Mitchell: Pretty much... [He puts his hands behind his head.] She's a bitch anyway..
Jessica Hendrix: She's definately a piece of work. [She gently reached a hand over and rested it lightly on his chest.] What happened with the baby?
Robert Mitchell: [He exhales, turning his head to look at her, opening his eyes.] There was no baby.
Jessica Hendrix: I'm so sorry Robbie...[She looks back at him.] Well look on the bright side, in a few days you will have a baby. [She smiles softly at him.] A healthy little boy.
Robert Mitchell: Yeah.... I know. [He looks in the other direction.] I don't know if I'm ready for this though. I still have urges to just go buy coke, or pills, or anything.. and you know it's hard Jess. And this is just day one.
Jessica Hendrix: You're gonna be fine. [She takes her hand and turns his head so that he had to look at her.] You've kicked this before and you can do it again. Plus you'll have me to help you. Any time you feel a late night urge coming on, just call me up. I'll be up doing feedings anyway.
Robert Mitchell: Right.. I guess all I can do is try.. you know.. for the baby's sake and all.
Jessica Hendrix: Exactly. [She smiled at him once again as a pain shot through her. She let out a small painful moan as she tried to shake it off.] You are gonna be just fine Robbie, I know you will be. [She lays her head back down on the pillow and turns her head toward the ceiling so that she can try and keep her mind off of the pain she's starting to experience.]
[Robbie just nods as he rolls onto his side, resting his hand on Jesse's lower abdomen as he scoots closer to her, closing his eyes.]
Robert Mitchell: I hope so now get some rest, you know..
Jessica Hendrix: I don't think I can. [She sits up as best as she can and inhales deeply and then exhales.] Could you umm get me a glass of water?
Robert Mitchell: For you, anything. [Robbie rolls out of the bed, opening the bedroom door as he heads downstairs.]
Jessica Hendrix: Thanks...[Once he's gone she inhales and exhales rapidly, keeping her hands on her stomach.] Evan this is your mother speaking and it's not time for you yet. You have until next week...Owww...
[She closes her eyes and leans back against the headboard. In a few minutes Robbie comes upstairs with a glass of ice water for Jesse as he sets it on the nightstand next to her, hopping back onto the bed.]
Robert Mitchell: You alright? You look kind of flushed.
Jessica Hendrix: [The pain has stopped as she offers him a smile and nods.] Yeah just fine, he's really kicking up a storm today. [She wants to take her mind off of the fact that she might be in labor and not all together ready for it. She glances at Robbie, looking him up and down.] You know you're looking pretty good today Robbie, real good in fact.
Robert Mitchell: You think? I feel kind of fat in these jeans.. [He sits down on the bed, letting out a laugh.] Just kidding..
Jessica Hendrix: Don't even talk about feeling fat. I'm the fat one here. [She lets out a laugh also.] You look really good, almost irresistible.
Robert Mitchell: You're not fat.. [He looks at her with a serious look on his face.] I think you're beautiful.
Jessica Hendrix: [She bites down on her lower lip and smiles at him.] You're too sweet for your own good. [She reaches over and places a hand on his cheek.] Not to mention still my favorite sexy rock star.
Robert Mitchell: [He smiles, leaning against the headboard.] I hope so. [He starts to twirl a piece of her hair around his finger.] You feeling better yet?
Jessica Hendrix: Yeah pretty much. [She gently caresses his cheek with her hand as she takes her other one and rests it on his shoulder, running it under the collar of his shirt.] I think I might know what would make me feel even better...
Robert Mitchell: What's that? [He looks down at her.] You want something to eat? I can go drive and get you some take out.
Jessica Hendrix: I'm not hungry. [She leans in and starts kissing his neck, moving directly to that one spot of his.] Well I guess in a way I kind of am, only not for food.
Robert Mitchell: [Robbie leans his head to the side, groaning a bit as he hasn't been touched by anyfemale in a while.] Jess.. What are you doing?
Jessica Hendrix: Showing you just how much I've missed you. [She slides her hand from his cheek down the side of his body until it's rested on the waist-band of his pants.] I wasn't real nice to you earlier and well I wanna make up for it. [She begins to nibble on his earlobe.] If you'll let me. [She whispers.]
Robert Mitchell: Who am I to tell you what you are and aren't gonna do? If that's what you really... [He exhales slowly.] Really feel like doing then I'm all yours.
Jessica Hendrix: And that's precisely what I wanted to hear. [She says as she grins and moves both of her hands so she can unbutton his jeans.] You are just as sexy as ever and I can't wait for you to ravage me.
[It was a little over an hour later as Jessica is sitting up in the bed after having slipped her dress back on. During the sex with Robbie she knew she had been dealing with contractions but he was too caught up in the moment to notice that she was in pain. It is at this point she knows that she is in labor as she looks down and sees that her water just broke. She mumbles 'Oh shit...' to herself as she rubs her forehead. Robbie zips up the fly to his jeans as he had his back turned to Jesse. He leaves his shirt off on the floor.]
Robert Mitchell: You hungry babe?
Jessica Hendrix: Umm actually, I think I need to go to the hospital. [She manages to get herself to her feet and turns toward him. The front of her dress is completely soaked.] Like right now.
[Robbie turned around, noticing the dress, glancing Jess up and down as his jaw dropped open. He stumbled around the room, pushing things to the side to try and find his car keys. Jessica tried as hard as she could to remain calm but it was no use, she was terrified. She knew that she was going to have a baby and also that it was going to hurt, however she didn't expect it to hurt as badly as it did. She could barely even speak as Robbie got what he needed and helped her out of the house so that they could make it to the hospital in time.]
