The next few weeks were spent in either the recording studio or dance studio. Isaac, Taylor and Zac joined her in the recording studio and to everyone's surprise Chele joined her in the dance studio. "Try this Sis." Chele said showing her a step. "Great. That's just what it needed." Jessy said stepping it off again. The two worked day and night, turning the corner into a nursery, complete with a crib for JT and small bed for Andy. Before long, Jessy had recorded six songs, two duets with Zac, a duet with Taylor, one with Isaac, and two songs with the band. "Zac I'm ready to show everyone what Sis and I came up with. Can you arrange it? Chris too." Jessy asked as she and Chele headed out shopping with babies in tow, looking for the perfect outfit "I'm tired of arguing with you about it. Let's buy both and let Zac decide. You can model them for him. At least one of us will be loved tonight." Chele complained. "Oh the mother of my child dilemma." Jessy teased. "What? Whatever it is, it is not funny." Chele complained. "I'm not teasing, I remember it well, as if it were yesterday." Jessy answered and quickly explained how being looked at as the mother of his child, deserves respect not getting down and dirty. "You have to remind him, you were his lover before you were the mother of his child. It's up to you." Jessy insisted, adding, "Tell you what, let me take the baby with us. I'll just tell Zac I've been missing out on so much in JT's life and feel guilty. Ooooh perfect timing. One last store." Jessy said taking Chele by the shoulders, turned her, facing her at Frederick's Of Hollywood, "Maybe I'll buy something for Zac. We've already had the discussion, he doesn't dwell on the fact that I'm the mother of his child and doesn't need reminding how he got that child." Jessy said excitedly as the girls entered the store. The store was the best idea. Not only did Chele find something to definitely remind Taylor who she was, Jessy found the most perfect look for the number and a little something for Zac. "Hey baby, we're done and about to head for a treat. Care to join us? We'll buy." Chele asked calling home. "You'll buy, I'm game. Let me grab o'what's his name, you know, Sis's husband, Andy's father, him." Taylor teased. "Taylor I'm not that way. I have a wife to grab me and a kid to prove she did." Zac teased back. "You two stop and come join us." Chele insisted and the girls made their way to the Food Court. "Dada" Andy squealed. "Man the kid has better radar than I do and Zac's the love of my life." Jessy shared and the girls laughed. "He loves his daddy, don't you big guy." Zac said extending his arms to him as Jessy stood him in front of her and off he went but suddenly the flash of the cameras scared him. Andy sat down and started to cry. "Get away from him." Jessy hollered at the reporter then turned to Andy, "Hey my Andy." Jessy sat on the floor across from him. "Did the light scare you?" Jessy asked noticing Taylor rushing to Chele and JT. "Hey big guy." Zac said sitting next to Jessy. "Dada." Andy cried reaching for him. "You're okay son. Daddy won't let nobody hurt you, not even the light." Zac shared lifting him in his arms, rising from the floor and offering a hand to Jessy "Man it's hard to believe we've made it so far without a run in with the press." Jessy shared as Zac walked them to Taylor, leaving them with him as he reamed the reporter, letting him know in no uncertain terms that the picture will not be used or he'll sue for child endangerment. "Andy lost his train of thought when you blinded him with that light, he could have easily ended up in the wrong arms or gotten hurt." Zac informed and was gifted with the roll of film. "Thanks. Give me your card, I'll be glad to give you the jump on an upcoming announcement." Zac responded to the gesture. "Here comes daddy Andy. He'll get you something to eat." Jessy assured him as the guys headed for food while she and Chele found a table. "Hey buddy boy. What's up big guy." Ashley said as he picked up JT and high fived Andy. "Ashley, how nice." Chele shared pulling him into the chair next to her. "Hey that's my chair, my wife, my son." Taylor teased. "Yeah dammit. You snagged a gem. He doesn't keep you happy, let me know." Ashley said kissing Chele's hand as Jessy burst out laughing. Luckily when everyone turned to see why she was laughing, Andy had crawled into her lap and was nuzzling her neck, figuring he'd nurse if he couldn't get real food. "Like Father, like son." Jessy teased laughing again. "Trade you son." Zac teased waving a McDonald's bag at him. "Dada." Andy squealed forgetting all about Jessy.. "Woe is me, lost him to a clown with big red shoes." Jessy pouted. "Jessy that's your husband, not some clown." Ashley teased and they all roared. "Whoa I hope that's yours." Zac asked excitedly noticing the Frederick's bag next to Jessy. "Zac Hanson no peeking." Jessy said. "I must have been good." Zac boasted. "So maybe I wasn't." Jessy teased. "Huh? Hey that's not even funny." Zac complained, adding, "I want to see." "Here I'll let you feel." Jessy said slipping his hand into the smaller lingerie bag. "Lace. I've died and gone to heaven." Zac sighed. "You're going to die all right. By your son's hand if you don't hand him his french fries." Jessy teased as they sat chatting while they ate. "Ash you have to come. I respect your opinion and being single..." Jessy asked drifting off, lost in her thoughts. "What you thinking?" Zac asked as Andy crawled into her lap and cuddled, falling asleep. "The same old thing. I really don't know if can do this guys looking at me bit." Jessy complained. "I'm looking at you now." Ash said. "But not that way." Jessy explained. "Like you're a sexy, desireable, hot momma. Yeah I am but I also know that you love Zac more than anything and I respect that, go dang he's a lucky man, go back to looking. Dang Jessy that bikini you wear, how? I mean if that's how you feel really, you could never wear that suit." Ash explained. "He's got a good point babe. You can do this." Zac shared as Jessy laid her head on his shoulder and he invited Ash to join them later for Jessy's debut of her favorite number, 'Don't Want To Talk About It' as JT became fussy. "Nothing I can do for him." Ash said rolling his eyes. "Let me have him." Jessy asked holding him opposite of Andy, singing him to sleep. "How do you do that?" Taylor asked. "She sings to him, you heard her." Chele teased. "So I sing to him and he doesn't go to sleep." Taylor replied sticking his tongue out at her. "Naughty boy. Let me see that again and I'll..." Chele teased as Taylor slipped her his tongue quieting her as he then kissed her deeply. "You two look like you're having fun. What's that they always tell us?" Jessy asked. "Go get a room." Zac answered laughing. "Why you laughing? Seriously you two need to go get a room. JT is fine with us right Zac." Jessy suggested. "What?Yeah sure he can come home with us, or hey we'll head to the folks' and you two go to our house." Zac offered. "Right? You're serious." Taylor gasped. "Yeah bro I'm serious. I haven't seen you two this way in a long time, go for it." Zac answered. "Jessy two babies?" Taylor asked. "So. I have Zac. He's the best with the babies Taylor, I couldn't find better help and if we head to the folks'... Of course we mean it. You two need time to yourself, go for it" Jessy insisted. "You two are the greatest, thanks Sis, Zac." Chele squealed as Taylor accepted the offer. The two were on their way and Ash hung around to help them get Jessy's purchases and the boys into Jessy's Christmas present. "Zac this is so cool. I want another baby." Jessy suggested looking back at JT and Andy asleep in their car seats.. "Knew this was coming. Something in your eyes when Ash handed you JT. As he relaxed to your singing and your touch, you came alive. My little mother, doesn't matter who's baby does it?" Zac shared. "I guess not but I'd rather it be your baby, our baby." Jessy replied leaning his way, laying her head on his shoulder. "Bound to happen one of these days right?" Zac asked. "Yeah one of these days. It's okay right Zac. I mean you wouldn't mind?" Jessy asked. "Jessy how can you ask that? Of course it's what I want as long as you're okay babe. This time will be easier too, we know what to expect." Zac answered as he pulled into the folks'. Everyone was thrilled about Chele and Taylor, "I'm so relieved. She's been so concerned lately. Remember when you were so convinced Zac didn't love you anymore either?" Diana whispered. "I know Mom. I tried to explain it to her, you know, the mother of his child syndrome." Jessy whispered back. "What you two whispering about?" Walker asked. "You'd better whisper before you wake that baby up." Diana warned. "No big deal. Jessy can sing him to sleep like that." Zac said snapping his fingers. "Hun help me a minute so I can get JT down." Jessy asked heading towards his room with Zac on her heels. He watched as she slipped him into his bed with no problem. "What did you need a hand with?" Zac asked. "This." Jessy answered, kissing him deeply, walking him backwards towards the bed, pushing him down before climbing on top. "I just needed to make sure you know that I love you whether we have another baby or not. Zac even though it's what I want, I am so totally happy being Andy's Mom and so content being your wife. I'd be thrilled if we were lucky enough, you know if it's his plan..." Jessy shared drifting off in thought. "What you thinking babe?" Zac asked. "I was thinking that if maybe I hadn't gone ditzy like I did, maybe we would be." Jessy confessed. "What? Geez Jessy how soon you forget. If it's his plan, it would have happened no matter what." Zac insisted. "Huh? Oh yeah. Cool." Jessy replied so relieved. They rejoined the family with a new sense of commitment to each other. "I wonder if they'll come." Jessy asked looking at the time. "I better get dressed." Jessy said, adding, "Hun can you go get me the Frederick's bag?" "My died and gone to heaven bag huh? Sure can't wait." Zac answered racing outside returning with Chele and Taylor. "Look what I found in the driveway." Zac shared. "You two look happy. Sis help me dress?" Jessy asked. The girls and the Frederick's bag disappeared down the hall as everyone else arrived. "You ready babe. Everyone is here, now that Chris made it in." Zac asked. "Yeah she's ready. Help me make sure everything is set." Chele asked pulling Zac with her. Jessy blew them all away, sharing a side of her noone knew existed, not even Jessy. "You'll give the divas a run for the number one slot in no time. The dance steps are fantastic, who'd you find?" Chris asked. "One of the best in the business, my big Sis." Jessy answered hugging Chele. "Taylor why didn't you tell me. I had no idea your wife was a dancer." Chris asked. "Me neither." Taylor answered pleasantly surprised. "Baby why didn't you tell me?" he asked drawing Chele to him. "I did. I told you I took dance lessons when I was younger." Chele answered. "Well so did I and I can't do that." Taylor explained. "So Ash, what do you think?" Jessy asked slipping onto Zac's lap. "Girl you are definitely sexy without trying. Dang it's hard to believe you're a Mom. You are definitely a lucky man Zac." Ash shared. "Sexy huh? Trashy?" Jessy asked. "Jessy don't go that way. Man there's enough out there. I like you the way you are. I mean you can see you're sexy without exposing yourself. I like you the way you are, don't change." Ash insisted. "I agree with him babe. This outfit rocks. This is defnitely the way you should go." Zac agreed as Chris, Walker and the others discussed strategy. "You guys handle this, I'm going to change and be a Mommy." Jessy said kissing Zac and heading to change. That night they finalized release dates and appearances to introduce the new improved Jessy Hanson to the world.
