Say Goodbye
"More hot cocoa, darling?" Idris asks Jessica who was sitting on the couch.
"No thank you, baby. This cup has got these babies moving already!" Jessica places her hand on her stomach.
Idris places his hands on her belly, the leaves two soft kisses right where the twins were moving.
"Look at this gorgeous bump."
Jessica smiles and places her hand on him.
"I'm excited to watch you give birth."
"You freak!" She smiles.
"Will you stop?" Idris chuckles. "I'm excited to see you bring these two into the world. Childbirth is incredible. There's nothing like it.. and I just know I'm going to love you so much more after seeing you give birth. I don't know if my heart is ready for that much love."
"Aww! You are the cheesiest man I have ever met." Jessica smiles. "And I love you so much for it, babe."
Idris smiles and kisses her bump once again before kissing her lips softly.
"Mmm.. Now.." Jessica pulls away. "Help me up so we can finish decorating this tree."

The next morning.
Today is Jessica's baby shower.
Idris' family has come in just for this special day.
"Mr. and Mrs. Elba, thank you so much for coming! Mrs. Elba you look fantastic!"
"Thank you! I'm feeling so much better! May I say you are looking lovely." She smiles.
"Aw, thank you so much!"
"Isn't she the most beautiful woman you've ever seen?" Idris wraps his arm around Jessica, making her giggle.
"Honey, stop."
"She certainly is! These babies will be so beautiful!"
Jessica smiles softly and pushes her negative thoughts on who the father is to the side.
"I hope Ezekiel looks just like Idris. He's such a handsome man." Jessica smiles up to him.
"Aw well if Zar Zar looks anything like her Momma, then she'll be the most beautiful baby girl on this planet!"
Jessica smiles and squeezes his arm.
"You two are so in love. That's incredible!"
"Thanks, dad. We sure are!" Idris says.

"Look at all of these clothes they have! Man, we're gonna have the best dressed babies, aren't we, Iddy?"
"Absolutely!"
Just then they hear a woman's heels approaching, followed by a raspy smokers voice. "Sorry I'm late."
Jessica looks up and gasps. It was her mother in law. "What are you doing here?" She asks.
"I came to bring a gift for my grandchildren."
Jessica turns to her father with a worried look on her face. Her cheeks turning red, and her eyes tearing up.
Albert walks over and looks Hank's mother in the eyes. "Now is not the time. You need to leave."
"What? I'm not doing anything wrong, am I?"
"This day is about Jessie, Idris, and the babies. Don't start."
"These babies are Hank's! Just you wait and see when they're born!" She raises her voice. "Then you can't trap this man for his money!"
"Excuse me?" Jessica says as Idris stands.
"Ma'am, I don't know who the hell you think you are, but you have no right to walk in here and start speaking this way to Jessica. You to leave right now."
"My son told me she is only with you for your money! You're fine with that?"
"Of course Hank is going to say that! He can't accept the fact that Jessica just doesn't love him anymore. These are not his babies, and you have no business being here."
"You'll see that those ARE my son's babies the moment she squeezes them out! And then you'll have no say in anything! My son will be talking to his lawyer, and you two will never see those kids again!"
By now Jessica is in tears. Leona and Jessica's mother have come over to comfort her.
"I promise you tha-that's not why I'm with him!" Jessica struggles to say. She could barely catch her breath.
"Honey, everyone knows that!" Dorothy says.
"Jessica, your mother is right. I was married to Idris for quite a while and I have never seen him more happy than he is with you. It's obvious you love each other. No one thinks this is all your way of trapping him for money."
"I don't want his parents to think less of me because of her." Jessica sobs. "We didn't tell them there was a possibility they weren't his."
"I didn't know that either. But either way it's okay! I know Idris, and I know you are his everything! Nothing is gonna change what you two have, Jessica."
"Thank you, Leona. You're such an amazing woman.. How will I ever compete with that? You're such a better person than I am!" Jessica cries softly.
"Honey, you are incredible! Besides, Idris sees how special your heart is. That's why he loves you."
Idris then walked over. He and Albert had just came back from seeing Hank's mother out.
"Hey! You okay, kiddo?" Idris kneels down in front of Jessica.
"Yeah.. Honey, I hope you know that I would still be here if you were poor! I don't want a cent from you! I-I.. I just want you." Jessica looks into Idris' eyes.
Idris wiped her cheeks and brought her to his chest. "You listen to me, Jessica Lange. I don't believe a word that woman is saying. She's just like her son. She's speaking nonsense! I know you love me. I can see it in your eyes, I can hear it in your voice, and I can feel it in your touch. Don't you ever doubt that!"
"I'm so lucky to have you, Iddy."
"Oh Mummy Bear.. it is I who is lucky."
Jessica looks up to Idris, her body still against his.
Idris kisses her forehead and wipes her tears once again. "I love you with all my heart."
"I love you so much more, Iddy."
"Not a chance, babe!" He smiles.
Jessica giggles just before Idris' lips touch hers.
Everyone gushes over them.
Suddenly they hear a chair fall. Jessica immediately pulls away and turns to the loud noise.
"Conner? What's wrong? Why do you look like that?"
"Abri just texted me, she's at the hospital! She's in- she's in labor!" Conner's face was pale.
"Oh my gosh! We have to go!"
Conner felt sick to his stomach. He knew once this baby was born he would have to sign over his rights forever. He wasn't ready to say goodbye.
