"Son what's wrong with Jessy?" Diana asked watching as Jessy wandered off finding pen and paper. "What's wrong?" Zac asked reaching for another slice of pizza. "She hardly ate and you know how she loves pizza." Diana explained. "Huh I guess you're right." Zac replied making his way to Darcy and Adam asking, "Darc she's not eating, anything wrong?" "That pig. Are you kidding? She downed an order of cheese filled breadsticks all by herself." Darcy shared. "That explains it. Mom noticed." Zac replied. "Oh I'll let her know her favorite is a big pig." Darcy suggested making her way to Diana. "What you writing babe?" Zac asked making his way to Jessy. "Just organizing Christmas Shopping. You know who I got done and who I need to do yet." Jessy explained finally looking up and smiling. "What you smiling about?" Zac whispered as he bent down and kissed her sweetly. "You. I saw that coming." Jessy whispered back as he pulled his lips from hers. "What was coming?" Zac asked totally confused "You loving me." Jessy sighed, lifting a hand, gently caressing his face, adding, "When I looked up... There was so much love in your eyes." "I do love you. So much at times it just has to get out." Zac teased sitting on her lap. "My such a big boy. Have you been good this year Zachary Hanson? Ho Ho Ho." Jessy teased. "That I have SantaLicious. How about you?" Zac teased back. "My a fresh one huh? Well since you asked..." Jessy teased, looking both ways before whispering, "I've been a bad, bad girl. I drive my boyfriend crazy with my desires. And then there was the big brother fiasco. Sure put my foot in it." "Don't be so hard on yourself. I have personal knowledge that your boyfriend loves that you desire him. And about the big brother thing.. Jessy I think you've done more for Taylor than anyone. It amazes me that you even care after the way he's treated." Zac confessed. "I don't know. Just look at him Zac." Jessy gasped. "What do you expect babe? He's felt this all along and just ignored it because of the way things went. Honest babe he is so relieved you brought it all up." Zac shared watching his brother. "Oh yeah he looks relieved." Jessy sighed. "He's just trying to figure out what to do next. He was talking about letting the folks in on how he truly feels." Zac shared. "Oh. Sheesh he ought to let the big mouth do it." Jessy teased. trying to lift a foot to her mouth, moaning as all of Zac's weight shifted to her other leg. "Enough of that." Zac declared rising, lifting Jessy from the chair, sitting back down, placing her in his lap. "Ahhh you took me to my favorite spot." Jessy sighed cuddling against his chest, whispering, "Zac?" "What babe?" Zac asked kissing the top of her head. "Zac is Tay really okay with my big mouth episode?" Jessy whispered anziously awaiting his answer. "What do you mean babe? You heard him. He said it was exactly how he felt but didn't say anything because of the folks." Zac replied gently lifting her face so he could see her insecurities. "But Zac..." Jessy gasped "But what?" Zac asked as she cuddled back against his chest. "I guess it's just getting to me. You know a couple of times she... Natalie said things that made me feel like she was telling me she knew the baby wasn't Taylors. She didn't just come out and say it but.." Jessy shared. "What Jessy? What did she say?" Zac asked his mind spinning at the possibility. "I was talking about how Taylor had a right to be doubtful and how I thought it would destroy him to find out he was used. I'm going off on how rotten it would be to use someone that way. Zac she pleaded with me not to hate her. More than once she pleaded with me not to hate her. Each time I just... man it gave me the heebie jeebies." Jessy shared turning in his lap and facing him. "She what? Do you think?" Zac gasped at her revelation. "That was my gut reaction Zac. She knows the baby isn't Tay." Jessy replied, cuddling back in his arms,adding, "That's what gets me Zac. I can't imagine doing that to someone. It's not just Tay.. it's the baby too." "I agree babe. How could she do such a thing." Zac whispered wrapping her tightly in his arms. "See what I got done." Jessy said to change the subject, handing him her list. "You did all this already?" Zac asked looking at the list. "Yep. The ikids are so easy to shop for. Hmm I know what I want to get Mom and Dad now. What do you think about a weekend getaway. You know book some great romantic place for them and we watch the kids." Jessy shared. "I want in on that." Isaac piped up, adding, "They so deserve it." "Yeah they do. Babe that's a great idea." Zac replied. "Now where do we send them?" Jessy asked. "How about I go do some research on the internet and I'll meet you later with what I've found." Isaac offered. "Sounds fair to me. II was going to go back out and shop some more to try and get this done." Jessy replied lifting page after page of names, sighing, "there better not be anymore." "I don't see my name." Zac pouted. "Oh I already got that." Jessy teased. "Tell me. Tell me." Zac pleaded like a little kid. "Nope. Not going to get it out of me." Jessy teaseed as he kissed her over and over. "Well I guess I better go shopping with you. I don't have anything for you yet." Zac declared. "You don't need to buy me anything. You've already given me the most perfect gift." Jessy shared kissing hi deeply. "I did? Perfect huh? Damn I'm good." Zac teased. "You don't have a clue do you?" fJessy asked. "Not a one. So what did I give you?" Zac replied. "I love it when you're so humble." Jessy shared kissing the end of his nose, finishing, "You gave me your love. No strings attached. You just gave it up without asking for anything in return. How could I not love you back." "I still don't believe you love me. Me. Of all the men in this world you love me." Zac replied hugging her tightly. "Oh I got the best deal." Jessy insisted kissing him sweetly, sharing, "You are a total hottie." "I'm glad you think so." Zac teased. "I do." Jessy whispered gazing at him before placing her lips to his with all the love she felt for him. "I love you too babe." Zac whispered kissing her lightly over and over. "I know." Jessy replied as she wondered how Taylor survived without feeling this kind of love. "What babe?" Zac asked watching her expression change, adding, "What are you thinking about that makes you so sad?" "I forget you read me like a book. I was just wondering how Taylor handled not knowing, feeling true love. I mean he's married an all but..." Jessy replied. "Gotta be the pits." Zac shared. "Do you think he'll be okay?" Jessy whispered cuddling back against his chest. "Okay?" Zac questioned. "Yeah stupid question wasn't it? How can you be okay? Married because you're told you knocked someone up. Make that your parents are told you knocked someone up. How crass. How could she do that? That's downright devious. I wonder who she really is?" Jessy grumbled her anger growing. "Yeah I wonder about her now too." Zac replied. "I still can't believe she lied to me. Blatantly lied to me." Jessy fumed, grumbling, "Right to my face! How can you do that? She looked me right in the eye and lied to me. Gave me some sond and dance answer leading me to believe Taylor was some sort ofa lovelorn romeo." "Yeah I remember you telling me. You know my gut reaction was that it can't be true. I mean Tay has women falling all over him. He always has." Zac shared. "Yeah he and his famous trio huh?" Jessy teased. "Well I guess it does prove my point." Zac said with a hearty chuckle. "Oh so you think it's funny huh?" Jessy asked pacing her forehead to his. "I was just remember Natalie's description of lovelorn Tay and..." Zac started to reply. 'Man if she'd only give me that Taylor loves me so much he couldn't stand to be apart line now. Wonder how she'd react to your hubby slept with three women." Jessy interrupted. "Man he's been through it all lately," Zac sighed off in deep thought. "I gotta know." Jessy mumbled rising quickly and making her way across the room. "Jessy wait." Zac called out in hot pursuit. "Tay. Tay I have to talk to you." Jessy said as she approached Taylor and Natalie. "What Jessy?" Taylor asked turning to face her. "Taylor don't listen to her." Natalie declared noticing the anger in Jessy's eyes. "What is it Jessy? What has you upset?" Taylor asked concerned more over the look on his brothers face. "Taylor did you tell Natalie to lie to me? I mean when I asked her if she was pregnant, had you already decided that you would't tell anyone so she felt she needed to lie straight to my face?" Jessy asked in a low voice watching his face for his reaction. "No I didn't tell her to lie Jessy. You know I wouldn't lie to you or tell anyone else to lie to you. I learned my lesson kiddo. Do you honestly think I'd take a chance at you being angry with me again? I barely survied the first time and I think.. no I know they all love you more now then the did back then." Taylor explaiend. "I'm sorry.Honest Tay I know better. I was just so angry about being lied to." Jessy apologized on the verge of tears. "Kiddo don't cry. I can understand being angry. Believe me I can understand." Taylor replied opening his arms to her. "I'm so sorry." Jessy whimpered stepping into his arms and hugging him. "It's not your fault Jessy. Don't cry." Taylor said trying to comfort her. "What's wrong sweetie?" Walker asked noticing her crying in Tayor's arms. "I'm angry. Daddy you didn't tell her did you?" Jessy sniffled out turning towards him. "Oh sweetie such a sad, sad face. What's wrong baby?" Walker said wrapping her in his arms. "Daddy I'm so angry that Natalie liked to me. Right to my face she told me no when I asked her if she was pregnant. Daddy did you tell her to not let anyone else know? I mean I know you wouldn't tell her to lie but did you suggest she keep her pregnancy a secret, even from family?" Jessy asked looking up at him with such a sad look. "What? You asked her if she was pregnant? When was this sweetie? I didn't know you even suspected." Walker replied. " Give me a break." Jessy grumbled stepping away staring at him with wonder in her eyes. "Tell him babe." Zac whispered wrapping her in his arms. "I'm sorry Daddy. I didn't mean it like that." Jessy apologized noticing the hurt on his face. "I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to sound like I didn't believe you. When did you ask Natalie sweetie?" Walker asked glaring at Natalie. "Not long after they got married. I mean it was the first thing I thought when Zac finally told me what all the secrecy was about. I think I even asked Zac when he told me that Taylor was getting married." Jessy shared. "Oh I see. So you're saying you asked Natalie if she was pregnant and Natalie told you no?" Walker asked not taking his eyes off of Natalie. "It was none of her business." Natalie grumbled rushing from the room. "We do not lie young lady. No excuses for it." Walker called out sternly. "Dear what was that about?" Diana asked watching as Natalie rushed down the hall. "Diana join us please?" Walker asked waving her over. "What dear?" Diana asked noticing the anger on their faces. "It seems that Jessy asked Natalie if she was pregnant shortly after they were married and Natalie looked her in the eye and told her no." Walker shared. "SHe what?" Diana squealed loudly. "Sssh dear the children." Walker said turning to see if the younger ones were now curious. "Hey guys I found the Frosty the Snowman movie the other day. Did you see it?" Isaac asked leading his younger siblings to the den for the movie. "That's really not fair." Jessy sighed. "What's not fair sweetie?" Walker asked. "Excluding Isaac. This affects him too." Jessy explained. "That it does but right now sweetie I'm not ready for the younger kids to be involved in this." Walker explained. "I understand Daddy but they need to be told too." Jessy shared. "I agree dear. We should have shared from the beginning." Walker replied. "Walker I knew this would happen. This has caused trouble in the family." Diana sighed. "Mom when Zac first told me about Tay getting married I wondered if it was because she was pregnant. I mean I hadn't heard of her. I had been with the family almost a year and I hadn't ever heard about Natalie or any special girl in Tay's life." Jessy shared. "We didn't intentionally keep it from you sweetie." Walker shared. "He's right Jessy. We were respecting Natalie's wishes." Diana added. "You mean it was... Mom she looked me straight in the eyes and told me no when I asked if she was pregnant. She gave me some lame story about how Tay was all concerned about her moving back home and them not being together. She gave me the impression that Taylor was so afraid of losing her that he proposed to her." Jessy shared. "She what? No way. That's not true Jessy. How could she?" Taylor seethed as his anger sky rocketed. "Tay I didn't mean to anger you more." Jessy shared taking his hands in hers. "You didn't sis. Honest this isn't your fault." Taylor insisted cuppnig one of her hands in his, gently patting it with the other. "If I'd just kept my big mouth shut." Jessy sighed shaking her head no. "What is she talking about?" Diana asked. "Oh Mom I didn't mean it but when she woke me accusing me of sleeping with her husband... Well I just let her have it. I mean after Taylor finally let us in on the fact she was pregnant I guess my anger about being lied to ust started growing. I didn't mean to start something but..." Jessy tried to explain. "Go ahead babe tell them." Zac insisted wrapping her in his arms. "But Zac it wasn't my place and I just opened my big mouth and look what I've done." Jessy shared fighting the tears welling up in her eyes gazing at the floor in shame. "You've done nothing that didn't need to be done. There never should have been the secrecy. That's what was wrong Jessy not your questioning it." zac insisted. "I've been quiet long enough Jessy. I'm sorry you had to do this for me. I'd give anything to have apared you this guilt." Taylor insisted gently lifting her face, smiling at her before turning to his parents adding, "This is not herr fault. Mom, Dad I made a big mistake. I should have spoken up before but I just... well I just took the easy way out. I married Natalie telling myself I was doing right by her, by you, the family. I should have told you..." Taylor tried to explain. "Son what are you saying?" Walker asked impatiently. "Dad I had no idea Natalie was pregnant until she told the two of you. I just didn't know how to.... well it's just that you... she said she was on birth control and I believed her. We were only together a few times. I mean I was in the process of dumping her when she goes and calls you grandparentss." Taylor shared. "What? I don't believe this." Diana gasped. "Son why didn't you say something?" Walker asked. "I don't know." Taylor shared, adding, "I guess it was what Grampa said. I wanted what Zac had. You know true love. Sure blew that didn't I. I didn't love her and I marry her thinking I'll find true love." "Oh Taylor." Diana gasped, adding, "We at fault too. I'm sure you felt pressured to marry her. What about the baby?" "Tell them Jessy." Zac whispered nudging Jessy. "Ummm" Jessy said clearing her throat before turning to Taylor, "I woke to her this morning accusing me of sleeping with you. I mean there were seven of us together on that couch and she goes why are you sleeping with my husband. I mean I'm wrapped in Zac's arm, one of his legs draped over me, Taylor at least a foot away and I'm sleeping with her husband. Well I got her to the kitchen so we wouldn't wake up the rest of them before I ripped into her. I really let her have it and point blank told her I doubted the baby was Taylor's. I told here I knew probably one hundred Taylor Hanson fans that had proclaimed they wanted to have his baby. No mention of him loving them, just them having his baby as a way of having him. She did this total guilt expression while trying to tell me I was wrong and it wasn't my business." Jessy shared. "Telling him what you told me earlier. About what she said while you were shopping." Zac suggested. "Oh that." Jessy sighed wondering if Taylor could handle more. "Don't worry about me Jessy. What did she say?" Taylor asked noticing her concern. "Oh Tay.. All you Hanson read me like a book. How will I ever survive this?" Jessy teased to lighten the situation. "It's the price we pay to be deliriously happy sweetie>" Diana teased, adding, "Tell us what she said earlie." "Well she made some crass remark about Taylor and I let her have it, saying something like I could believe how anyone could be so calleous, to be so mean not just to Tayor but to the baby too. I mean how does someone take fate into their own hands and orchestrate how things will be. When I said I prayed Taylor could hand finding out the baby wasn't his.. well Natalie starts pleading me to drop it. I think she said something along the line of if I loved Taylor I'd just drop it. Mom, Dad I got this gut feeling like she knew the baby wasn't Taylor's. I'm sorry Tay but it's just the feeling I got." Jessy shared, gasping, "Taylor." as his knees buckled. "Got you bro." Zac said releasing Jessy and grabbing his brother by the arm to steady him. "I'm sorry." Jessy whispered grabbing his other arm. "You can't help how you felt Jessy." Taylor barely choked out. "You okay bro. I knew it was a shocker but I figured you needed to hear it." Zac shared. "No you were right. I guess I had thought it. I mean if I'm honest with myself when the words came from her mouth my gut reaction was no way. Jessy you sure are a strong one. You are a lucky one bro." Taylor replied. "You'll find her someday." Zac suggested. "I sure blew it this time." Taylor replied looking at his parents, adding, "Mom, Dad I'm sorry. I should have spoke up before this. I really do doubt that the baby is mine. I mean yes it's possible and if it is true...' "Son we're sorry. I'm sure we pressured you into something you didn't want. We had no idea. Taylor whatever you want to do.. you know we'll back you. Just give it some thought and let us know." Walker interrupted. "You know we love you and only want you happy baby." Diana gushed hugging him desperately. "Like Mom said, we love you bro and whatever you decide we're on your side." Zac added. "If you need the big mouth again or someone to put their foot in it, you know who to call." Jessy teased causing them all to laugh. "I think I need to get away and think." Taylor shared. "Totally understandable son and probably a good idea." Walker repiled. "I know." Jessy squealed, adding "I was picking up Grampa to take him shopping. His place will be empty for hours while we are out. I just know I always feels so safe and.." "Great idea kiddo. Yeah Grampa's place is where I need to be." Taylor interrupted. "So you're taking my father shopping?" Diana teased. "No my Grampa." Jessy teased back, adding, "And my Mom."
