by: Rhandi
So after time passes on, both couples have been married six glourious months and they have enjoyed each month as a foursome. Jax and Jerry both are now on the board of ELQ along with Ned. Lois and Brookie both go to visit Brenda one day. Lois calls out Brenda's name but no one answers the door. Lois decides to go on and ring the door bell. When she goes to ring it, she notices that the door is slightly ajar. She pushes the door open and go on in. She sets Brookie down and starts to call Brenda's name. She keeps calling and calling, until she just gives up and start to search the house. She looks all over until she stumbles upon Brenda passed out on the floor. She slightly hits her face and says,"Brenda? Bren? What's wrong? Brenda wake up!" She then goes to the phone and calls Jax. Reginald picks up the phone and says,"Quartermaine residence." Lois says," Reggie, please put Mr. Jacks on the phone immeadiately. It's an emergency!"
Reginald then goes into the room and says,"Mr. Jacks,Mrs. Ashton is on the phone and she says it's and emergency!" Jax, Ned and Jerry run to the phone. Jax is shouting at Lois,"Lois,Lois what's the matter?" Lois says," I don't know! It's Bren! She's passed out on the floor! I don't know what's wrong, but you have to come home right away!" Jax says,"I'm out of here. Ned and Jerry says,"Wait! we're going with you!" So Jax,Ned and Jerry all jump in their cars and head for the penthouse. Edward shouts,"Where are they going? We are still in the middle of a meeting. Lila comes in and says," Oh Edward, put a sock in it. Who likes your lifetime long meetings anyway!" By this time Julia is coming down the hall and discovers that Brookie is sitting in the middle of the floor in her carry-all sleep. She says to herself,"Hmmm. Lois must be here. She hears Lois shouting out Brenda's name over and over again.
She goes to the back and shouts out,"Brenda?" Lois says,"I came over for a visit and there she was just lying on the floor. Julia says,"Come on, let's try to revive her." Julia and Lois keep trying and trying until they finally get a answer out of Brenda. Brenda sits up slightly and says,"Jax? Jax,where are you?" Lois says,"Calm down girfriend, he's on his way." Brenda lies back down on the floor. Jax,Ned and Jerry come flying though the door like bats out of hell. Jax shouts,"Brenda, Brenda where are you?" Julia says,"She's back here."Jax runs back there slide to the floor and holds up Brenda's head saying,"Brenda,honey I'n here." She then sits up and hugs him and says," I don't know what happened. I just got dizzy and fell out I guess." Jerry and Ned runs back there and says,"Jax, is the there anything we can do to help?" Jax says," Yes. You guys can meet me at the hospital. Julia,Lois, you too. Julia says,"I'm going down the hall to get dad and Lady Jane."
So they all go to the hospital. As the doctors are examining her, Jax and the others are pacing the hallways awaiting the verdict. The doctor then comes out and says,"Mr. Jacks, your wife wants to see you." Jax swallows with a big lump in his throat and says,"Alright." Lois says," Tell us what she says ok?" Jax says," Don't worry everyone. I'll be back." Jax goes and looks through the window of the door and sees Brenda sitting there with a cup of water. He swallows hard once again and goes in the door. He sits down by Brenda and says," Brenda, how are you honey?" Brenda holds out her hand and says," My husband,my love, my best friend." She carresses his face telling him over and over. Jax says,"Alright Brenda. You're running. What did the doctor tell you?" Brenda still looking in his eyes and rubbing his face says," Jax, I'm not dying. I'm not going to let you slip through my fingers again." He says with a nervous smile," Well that's good to know."
Brenda says,"Jax, darling, I have some wonderful news. I feel that it's something that you have wanted for a long time. I felt like we had to wait a little longer, but not any more. I'm totally ready for this." Jax on the edge of his seat saying,"What? What? What?" Brenda says,"Darling, we are going to be blessed with a child. We're having a baby. We're pregnant." Jax gets up and says,"Brenda, don't do this now. You know I'm ready to start of family. Come on now, really? Brenda laughs and says,"Really honey. We are going to have a baby." He reaches down and give Brenda a huge kiss and then looks down and rub her stomach then kisses it. Jax runs out into the hall and says,"Everyone come here! We have some exciting news!"
Julia stops Jerry and says," After we leave the hospital, I want to talk to you. There is something I need to tell you. It's really important. Jerry says,"Go on honey, tell me now. Julia says,"No, it can wait. Let's see how my sister is doing. He says,"No.You mean our sister." She smiles and so does he and then they go on and walk in the room hand and hand. Everyone gets to the room and Lois says,"Alright, where is the fire?" Jax says,"Alright Brenda on the count of three." Both of them count aloud,"1...2...3.." WE"RE PREGNANT!" Everyone looks at them and just start jumping up and down. They go over and hug Brenda and Jax. Julia all of a sudden bursts out in laughter. Everyone turns around because they find it strange that Julia finds this news hilarious. Jerry says,"Julia,what are you laughing at?" Brenda says,"I did'nt know that being pregnant was that funny." Julia looks at everyone and then looks at Jerry and starts laughing again.
Ned says,"Alright Julia. I know you. You don't start laughing like that unless something is really strange! Now what is it?" Julia says,"Alright,alright. I give." She walks over by Jerry and says," Well, I was going to save this for later, but since it seems to be the latest fashion, I guess I'll go on and let you in on the little joke." She looks into Jerry's eyes and says," Before long, Brenda and I both will be modeling maternity clothes, because I'm pregant too!" Jerry says,"Oh my goodness! When did you find out?" She says,"Earlier today." Brenda says,"Yes. The doctor told me that's why I fainted is because I am pregnant. How did you find out Julia?" Julia says,"I called up room service and ordered a hot fudge sundae with sardines. Afer I ate it,I knew something was FISHY somewhere!" She laughs. Jerry says,"Dad,what do you think of all of this?" John looks at Jane and Jane looks back at John and says,"All we can say is," A DOUBLE HEADER!"
After they all find out that Julia and Brenda are both pregnant, the whole town gets together and throws them one big party. By Lucy and Laura both being pregnant at one time, they both know just what to get for Julia and Brenda. Everyone is at the party having a great time. Jax then says,"You know, we think that it is so wonderful that we are going to have our babies at the same time."Brenda says,"Yes.They will grow up together like siblings. I don't like the fact that Julia and I had to grow up practically apart so we want to raise ours together. With their big sister Brookie, and everyone around them that cares about them, they will never have to wonder what love or family is." Luke sheds a tear and then goes over to the phone. He makes his phone call and then goes back by Laura and says,"Brenda's speech made me think long and hard." Laura says,"What Luke?"
Luke looks at Laura and says,"No more Laura. This will not go on any longer. I was only thinking of myself and not about my family and how this situtation affected them." To Laura's surprise, Nikolas walks through the door with presents for Julia and Brenda. Everyone is suprised to see a Cassadine there and they are wondering what it means. Nikolas then walks over to Laura,Lucky and Lulu and give them all a hug and says,"I want it to stop. I want to know my mother, my brother, my sister and even Luke. I promise that I will not let my father Stephan,yes I said my father, Stephan come between us ever again. If you need me to fight him along with you,I will." Everyone is clapping at the beautiful truce that the Spencers has called.
With the Spencers calling a truce, it will be interesting to see just how close Nikolas,Lucky and Laura become. It will also be interesting just to see how far will Nikolas go to keep Stephan from coming between him and his family again.
