( jesse ) starts with goodbye

[bayleigh alexis moore]

As Bayleigh sat there with Jesse, it seemed though as if time had begun to stand still. There was no amoutn of words that would be able to describe how Bayleigh was feeling; there were too many. If all the emotions mixed together, it would sound like something out of Mary Poppins. Looking to her boyfriend after she told him that she was late, Bayleigh knew that his heart had most definitely sank in his chest and he was freaking out on the inside. Then again, so was she, so Bayleigh had no room to judge him for his reaction. The only thing that Bayleigh did expect from him was to be there for her when she went to take the test and they'd have to wait for the results.

When Jesse finally found the words that he wanted to speak, Bayleigh heard the nervousness in his voice shine through. Interlocking their fingers together, Bayleigh tried to subtly remind him that she was going to be there for him until it all sank it for real. "I haven't taken one yet, but I did get one. And let me tell you something, Jesse," Bayleigh started. "It wasn't easy trying to buy one without being noticed. You know damn well that Bentley would have freaked out if someone tweeted him a picture of me or you buying a pregnancy test," she said. "Though, I'm pretty sure that he'd think it was just a practical joke or something, since we both know that me sleeping with you was going to take a lot," Bayleigh spoke.

Letting go of Jesse's hand, Bayleigh stood up and went to grab for her purse. Once she had picked it up off of the floor, she pulled the box out of her bag and went over to Jesse again. "I'll be right back," she said, this time taking her turn at kissing the top of the male's head. Walking into the bathroom, Bayleigh opened the box and read the instructions. She soon peed on the stick, then grabbed a hand towel and brought the test stick and towel out to the living room. Placing the towel on the coffee table first, Bayleigh then laid the test on top of it. The female then sat down on the couch and cuddled up super close to her boyfriend. It was only going to be a matter of a few minutes before they found out their fate.

Just a few minutes later, Bayleigh let her hold on Jesse loose and sat up again. Leaning over to the coffee table, the female looked at the little screen on the test stick without even touching it. As soon as the results had sunk into her head, Bayleigh leaned up to Jesse again, just like she had only seconds before. "It's positive," Bayleigh said shortly. It was the only thing that she said, but those few words were going to hit Jesse like a freight train just like it had her.

Jesse didn't know what to else to say until Bayleigh had talked to him once again. He was glad that they were honest with each other but when she mentioned the possibility of being noticed, an idea hit Jesse. "If we have to go to the doctor's to find out more, we better not get spotted together. I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea until we're absolutely sure, you know?" Jesse said, holding onto his girlfriend's and with their fingers interlocked fairly tightly.

Then Bayleigh got up from him and he just watched her. A baby with Bayleigh would mean that the pair would have to get married. Jesse and Bayleigh were both from old fashioned families that believed in marriage then babies. Jesse had an idea up his sleeve but there was no guarantee it was going to be like he wanted it to be. Soon enough Bayleigh found the test in her purse and walked back over to Jesse. When she kissed the top of his head and disappeared into the bathroom, Jesse grabbed for the back of his neck and rubbed it, thinking.

Bayleigh came out of the bathroom with a towel and the test. He watched as she sat the towel then the test down on the coffee table in front of them. When she cuddled up extremely close to him, Jesse wrapped his arms around her and rested his lips on the top of her forehead for a long lingering yet soft kiss. He held her like that for the next few minutes, waiting for the result.

When it was time, Bayleigh was the one to lean forward to read the test. She paused while she was there before turning to tell Jesse. Before she even said it, the way her eyes looked, gave him the answer. For a few awkward moments, the pair just sat in silence looking at each other until Bayleigh moved to cuddle into Jesse again. Jesse moved himself back a bit and lifted Bayleigh's chin with his hand. "I love you Bayleigh. I'm here. Forever," he said. The male then moved his left arm into Bayleigh's view to show her his new tattoo. "Just like I helped you, you've helped me realize that I want you in my life forever. So I got this a few days ago," the male explained before looking into Bayleigh's eyes. "We're going to be a family with a baby and I won't stand for us not being married first," Jesse said before pausing to hold onto Bayleigh's left hand and running his finger down her ring finger. "I don't have a ring because well, I wasn't expecting to do this right now, but Bayleigh Alexis Moore, will you please marry me?" he said, holding her hand and looking into her eyes.

Hearing the words that Jesse spoke to her, Bayleigh couldn't find the strength to do anything, except for nod her head against his chest. "I think we'll just have to wait and see what this test says," Bayleigh remarked. "Then we can figure out a game plan," she added. "I don't want anyone to know anything for awhile, even if there is a baby. It's none of anyone's business except for ours," she said. "And little Louie's of course," Bayleigh added, trying to keep the conversation a little light.

Once Bayleigh had leaned up and saw the positive plus sign on the test, it took her a moment to let it all sink in. Though, as soon as it had run it's course, Bayleigh nestled herself back into Jesse's arms. "I love you too, Jesse," the blonde female said in response to her boyfriend's three little words. Then the male showed her the tattoo on his wrist and her mouth dropped even more than she thought that it possibly could. "Is that real? Or did you get bored in the studio and try to forge my signature? Or did you get Bentley to forge it? Little jerk can forge any of our signatures." Bayleigh asked, playfully. She knew that it was real, but she was trying to make the conversation go a little bit more smoothly. She didn't want to make it seem like having a baby was the end of the world, because it wasn't. It wasn't planned, but it was also something that the pair knew that they'd eventually talk about. They'd end up getting married and starting a family of their own; it was just that now, they were being forced into it instead of taking their tiny baby steps words it.

Then the female felt Jesse running his fingers down her left ring finger and she knew instantly what he was thinking; his words only further confirmed it. It wasn't more than a few sentences into his speech that her boyfriend proposed to her. "Yes, Jesse, I will marry you," she said to him with a smile as she leaned up against him so that she was able to prop herself up slightly and look into his eyes.

Jesse could only grin at Bayleigh's comment about the baby being their business and Louie's. Jesse looked over across the room where the puppy was now nestled comfortably on the bed that Bayleigh had gotten him. It basically looked like a couch for a dog. Louie was spoiled. Jesse quickly turned his attention back to Bayleigh as she nestled into him. He just held onto her as much as he could.

Her reaction at first to the tattoo was what he had expected but her joking around made him feel a bit more at ease about their whole situation. "I found an old CD you signed for me back in the day before we were famous and I had them copy it onto my skin. And I love nautical stars to that's why that's there," he said with a very soft chuckle. "But not nearly as much as I love you," Jesse added quickly and tapped Bayleigh's nose with his finger lightly.

After Jesse got the words out to propose to his girlfriend, a huge smile, like the one a kid would get walking into the toy store, appeared on Jesse's face. He figured she'd say something like "Let's wait a bit" or "I need to think about it" but instead she just said yes. When she moved to just look into his eyes, Jesse took the opportunity to lean into her, kiss her passionately and lean more forward so that he was dipping her. She wasn't touching the couch but she wasn't sitting up straight either. It was the best he could do with the way they were seated. Once their lips parted, Jesse sat himself and Bayleigh upright again. "Let's do it then," he offered.

[bayleigh alexis moore]

Seeing the look on her boyfriend's face after she told him that their baby was their business and only their's, Bayleigh smiled. "Well, it's the truth," she said. "The baby was made by you and I and I'll be the one giving birth to it. I don't know about you, but I didn't hear or see anyone else's face or name when we created it," Bayleigh explained. "So, in my opinion, no one else needs to know and give us their own opinions yet." Snuggling up to Jesse, Bayleigh's head rested on his chest and she listened to his heart beat; that was always something that seemed to calm her, even in the past. Though, when Jesse mentioned that he had the tattoo artist copy an old signature off of an old CD that she had signed for him, the female sat up, a smile beaming from ear to ear. "Do you honestly still have that CD? I remember when I signed that for you," Bayleigh said. "I actually almost put my number down too," she said. "Then Bentley or Brandon walked in and I never got too," Bayleigh added.

It wasn't all that long after she reminisced that her boyfriend said that they should get married. Laughing slightly, Bayleigh just looked at Jesse. "I already said that I would, Jess. Did you forget that quickly? I didn't think that that was something that was so easily forgettable," Bayleigh spoke. It was then that Bayleigh heard little Louie yip, so she leaned over the edge of the couch and picked up the tiny puppy. "Guess who's going to be a big brother, Louie" Bayleigh said, laughing lightly.

[jesse zack matthews]

Jesse nodded in agreement with his girlfriend when she pointed out that no one else was there when the baby was made so no one else needed to give their opinions on what the couple should do with the baby or shouldn't do. It was true. What the pair did was their business though being the limelight was going to make that very hard on the both of them.

As Bayleigh snuggled up to Jesse, her head rested right over his heart. He remembered her lying right there anytime the pair would cuddle as friends when they were younger. When he mentioned how he had gotten her signature, she sat up immediately and smiled a huge smile. The male let out a small airy chuckle as she remembered the CD. When she said that she was about to write her number but that one of her brothers interrupted, Jesse made a fake frown. "I could have had the phone number of the girl I've been in love with forever that long ago?" he asked then playfully grinned at his girlfriend.

Jesse told her that she should get married. He probably should have explained more of what he was thinking because the female's response was to tell him that she had already said yes. After Louie yipped, Bayleigh picked him up and told him he was going to be a big brother then laughed. Her laugh was adorable but Jesse got a bit serious. "No, I mean right now. Let's do it right now. Get married. Be married," he told her, looking at her.

Seeing Jesse nod his head after she spoke her peace abut their child and whatever they had to hear from any and everyone that would eventually find out about it, Bayleigh smiled. She was certainly thankful that she didn't have to worry about Jesse and what he was going to do when they eventually began telling people that they were having a baby.

When Jesse mentioned the thing with the signing of a CD for him, Bayleigh was shocked as ever. Smiling at the male's next comment. Bayleigh responded with, "Yes, you could have. But you can blame one or both of my baby brothers for that one." Laughing lightly, Bayleigh couldn't help but think of what could have happened between them if Bentley or Brandon hadn't walked in when she wanted to put her number on the disc. She couldn't help but wonder if they'e have been together years ago and already married with a few babies by now if she had been able to put those seven digits on the shiny round disc.

Playing with the puppy for a moment, Bayleigh then heard the words that flowed out of her now fiancee's mouth. "Jesse, are you high?" she asked. "Are you sick or something, even?" the blonde asked, putting the back of her hand on Jesse's forehead. When the male's forehead felt normal, the blonde looked at him seriously. "If you're really not sick or high and truly want to get married right away, then let's do it," she said, a huge grin appearing on her face.

[jesse zack matthews]

Jesse laughed when his girlfriend said that he could blame one or both of her baby brothers for him not getting her phone number. His mind wandered to the past, to that day when she so happily and giggly signed the CD she had given him. He told her that she was going to be a star and of course she didn't believe him but he was right. He had always believed in Bayleigh and her talent. She had definitely inherited the musical genes of the Moore family, there was no doubt about that.

His eyes looked down to puppy Louie for a few moments as Bayleigh fiddled with him and petted him. Jesse found the spot on the dog, right behind his collar and scratched, making Louie's back leg start tapping Bayleigh's leg. Jesse grinned and chuckled lightly as he stopped petting when Bayleigh spoke to him again, asking if he was high or sick or something.

Jesse just laughed. "I'm not either," he said and when she agreed to go ahead and get married, the male smiled a huge genuine smile. "Really? Okay! We'll need to get dressed into a bit of nicer clothing right? Or do you wanna just go find some late night chapel dressed in regular clothes so no one figures out what we're up to? Or do you not care? Cuz right now, I don't care because I'm going to marry you in like an hour or two and you'll be wife and I can finally be your husband," the now very excited Jesse rambled like a little child.

[bayleigh alexis moore]

Sitting with Jesse, Bayleigh watched his every movement; from petting the puppy to the facial expressions that he made when she had questioned him. Though, hearing his laugh because of them, a smile soon appeared on the girl's face. "I'd hope that you're not either," she said, a small laugh following her words. Hearing Jesse's words and the excitement behind them, Bayleigh couldn't help but put a big grin on her face. When Jesse finally slowed down and allowed her to speak, Bayleigh spoke almost as excitedly. "Jesse, seriously, just slow down a moment. Let's think about this really quick. If we're going to get married tonight, which won't be the traditional church wedding, I at least want to go on a traditional honeymoon with you," the girl spoke. "I say normal clothes tonight, because I don't want anyone figuring anything out, just like you said. But, before we do anything, I want to plan our honeymoon. I was thinking Tahiti or the Cayman Islands, but I don't care where we go. Just as long as I'm with you, I don't care where we go," the female spoke. Getting up from the couch, Bayleigh went into her bedroom and grabbed her laptop. Going back to the living room, Bayleigh sat down next to Jesse again and opened up a travel site so they would be able to look around different places for them to go on their honeymoon.

[jesse zack matthews]

Jesse watched his beautiful girlfriend transform her lips so that she could talk to him. It wasn't until after he was done petting Louie that she told him to slow down what he was saying about getting married that night. His excited-ness had gotten the better of him, much like the night that Jesse had finally asked Bayleigh to be his girlfriend. He remembered how excited he had gotten and got himself a bit more excited in the present for being able to finally marry Bayleigh after all those years.

One of Bayleigh's words snapped Jesse back to the here and now. Honeymoon. He hadn't even thought of going on a honeymoon. He had only started to think of the wonderful life he would be able to have her as his wife after all this time. Finally after the blond female was done speaking, it was Jesse's turn to respond but she had gotten up from the couch to go into her bedroom.

When she returned, she had her laptop in her hands. He watched as she sat down next to him and pulled up a travel site. Jessed put his arm around her shoulders and kissed her head, more her hair, softly. "I wouldn't mind somewhere warm like an island. That and it'll give me more time to see you in a sexy bikini," he said seductively with a soft chuckle. When he started looking at the website again, he thought of something. "If we go to somewhere where other famous people are bound to be, we're going to be photographed. And those photographs are going to have taglines like 'why are they getting away?' and 'what's that rock on Lexi's finger?' I don't want any of that to get to our families until we're ready to tell them," Jesse said, being a bit concerned as to what her family's reaction would be if they found out Bayleigh and Jesse had eloped.
