Sophia smiles as she lays her head against the door to the house. Tonight did not go as planned but she somehow felt lighter than she did before. She wasn't sure how Luca was going to take it and his emotions did range. She saw the sadness, the anger, but more than anything the determination. He wanted to get to know her and for once, she did too. Only time could tell how it would work out but for today... She was happy.

Still grinning ear to ear, she walked back upstairs to check on her sister. It was later but Jess hasn't been sleeping well since her due date was so close. Sophia knocked lightly on her room before pushing the door open. Her eyes going wide not expecting a new comer to be there.

"Brad?"

He looked up at her. Jess was curled on him as they both were laying on her bed. She looked to finally be asleep which Sophia knew was a task in itself. She looked from him to her and watched how Brad just rubbed Jessica's back in a soothing manner.

"She called me about an hour ago in some pain." His eyes still looking to Jess as he spoke softly. "Think she just needed a cuddle."

"You sure your gay?"

"Oh baby Sophia... I think all of god's creatures are beautiful but only males can make me salute."

Sophia chuckled shaking her head as she came to sit down at the end of the bed. Brad gave her an easy smile. "Thank you Brad"

"Ahh.. Not necessary. I care a great deal about your sister."

"I can see that." And it was the truth. Brad may be waving a rainbow flag but he has a soft spot when he looks at Jessica, even Taylor.

"She actually was the one that help me get my job at Sanford Drake."

"Really?" Sophia didn't know that. He nods his head brushing his fingers through Jessica's hair.

"I just was coming out of law school and no one wanted to give me a chance. Jessica was already established with the company and she spoke to Mark for me."

"Well I'm glad. You're good at your job."

He snorts in return lifting his gaze to her. "Not as good as you apparently. I still don't know why you don't want to stick around after the 6 weeks."

She shrugs not ready to tell him yet. "I love to travel."

"What were you doing before coming here? Jess may have told me but I can't remember shit."

"Photographer." He makes the ahh sound as if remembering. "I've been all around doing shots and selling them to whomever."

"You must be pretty talented to be able to make enough to just continuously move."

"Not bad" She wasn't going to tell him that he had a decent amount set back since she has been hired by some of the largest magazine companies in the world. "I really like it."

"Your sister has told me how much passion you have for traveling."

"It's not really the traveling.." She says shaking her head slightly. "It's the idea of looking at something and getting a different perspective on it."

"You are definitely a rare gem aren't you?" He says with a twinkle in his eyes. Sophia lifts her gaze to look at him. "You are extremely smart, quite beautiful, soft spoken, and on top of that... you are artistic as well."

Sophia drops her head not thinking of herself that way. "I am definitely not artistic."

"I bet if I looked at your photos, I could feel exactly... EXACTLY what you felt at that moment."

She smiles down at her lap. She is not use to such praise from anyone other than her sister. She can feel her cheeks warm up from it. A groan causes both to turn their attention to Jessica. She begins moving in her sleep and her hand coming up to hold her stomach protectively. The action making Sophia smile down at her.

"She's going to be an incredible mother."

"Yes she will." Brad says with a gentle smile. "I wish she tell me about him."

"The father?" Sophia asks making him nod his head.

"All she told me was that it was a one night stand."

Sophia sighs at that. "She's ashamed of it. She did tell the man but he said he wanted nothing to do with it."

Brad tenses and takes a deep inhale through his nose breathing out slowly. He holds Jessica closer relaxing himself. "Men are idiots."

"You're one." Sophia points out.

"Fine... some men." She giggles making the sleeping beauty stir again pushing her face more into Brad's side. After a minute she settles but Brad's face morphs. "Oh shit"

"What?"

"Jessica... Jessica wake up." He shakes her shoulder slightly making Sophia's brows furrow.

"Brad what are you-"

"My leg either just got peed on or Jess' water broke." He says rotating himself out from below her. The movement causing her to finally wake.

"Brad" Jessica whines wanting to go back to sleep. A sudden sharp pain causes her to clutch her stomach and hold her breath. "Fuck"

"I'll grab the bag!" Sophia says rushing out of the room to the bathroom where Jess already packed the bag. She started gathering the other necessities while Brad helped pick up Jessica.

"Come on Beauty. It's time to go."

"Brad it hurts." She says trying to breathe as he carries her down the stairs. His lips coming to her hairline to kiss it.

"I know beauty... I know. Sophia let's go!"

A flash of red rushes pass him to open the door. A bag thrown on her shoulder, a pillow in her arm and what appears to be a snack bag. "Soph, did you get-"

"I get it all Jess. Don't worry."

Brad carries her out the door as Sophia locks up rushing to the car to open the door for Brad. He gently sits her down in the back before rushing to the driver side door. Sophia climbs in the back next to her sister. Jessica instantly grabs her hand squeezing it as another pain rushes through her. The car speeds away from the house as Jessica continues to breathe through the pains.

"Sophia I need you to listen to me... If something happens-"

"Jess-"

"Listen to me damn it! If something happens. You take of her. Promise me."

"I promise Jessica." Sophia says whole heartedly. "Nothing will happen."

"Brad you remember what you promised me as well."

Sophia glances in the rearview mirror to Brad who glances back for a second meeting her gaze. "Of course Beauty."

"Jessica what are you-"

"AAAGGGHHHH" She practically breaks Sophia's hand but the little sister takes it like a trooper knowing it is nothing to what her sister is going through.

"Almost there ladies" Brad says rushing through traffic weaving in and out. He lays in on the horn a few times which earned him a few birds but he didn't care. He was a man on a mission and everyone else be damn.

They pulled in to the Emergency entrance and Sophia instantly hopped out along with Brad. Sophia watched as Brad expertly picked up Jessica and carrying her in. The nurses rushing to help. "My Beauty is having a baby!"

Sophia laughed at him before turning back to see the car blocking the way. She saw the nurses taking care of Jessica and Brad so she quickly ran back to the car to maneuver it out of the way to a parking spot. Her phone began buzzing as she was running back to the doors.

"He-Hello?" She says trying to regulate her breathing.

"Tesoro? Are you alright?"

"Luca! Yeah I'm fine. Jessica's having the baby!" She says yanking the doors open going to the front desk with her arms full of stuff.

"Oh! Where are you?"

"The hospital." She says before looking to the receptionist. "Excuse me miss, where did Jessica Andrews go-"

"AGGGGHHHH"

"Damn Beauty, don't break it off!"

Hearing their voices she goes around to find Jessica sitting in a wheel chair holding Brad's hand in a death grip as they check her in. Sophia stands behind her sister.

"Sophia?"

"Oh sorry Luca. We are getting checked in now."

"I'm on my way love."

"Luca, you don't-"

"I'm coming."

The phone clicks off before she can respond to him. She pockets her phone going to sit on Jessica's other side. Brad retracts his hand shaking it before flexing his fingers. Jessica's hand shoots out to automatically take Sophia. Brad looks to the hands before grinning at Sophia. The red hair beauty just glares playfully as he snickers. He pulls out his phone quickly typing away as the woman finishes the paperwork putting the bracelet on Jessica's wrist.

They are led back to a private room where Jessica is changed before being placed in a bed. Her hand still holding her sister's in a death grip. Brad comes to sit in a chair near her head. Jessica's groans and breathing being heard while Brad tries to speak soothingly to her. Feeling her butt vibrate, Sophia pulls out her phone to see a message from Luca.

She quickly replies with the one hand as the doctor comes in. His eyes fixated on the clipboard before looking up. His eyes fixating on Sophia momentarily before looking to Jessica.

"Alright Ms. Andrews, let's have a look shall we?"

Brad whistles lowly before making a dash out the door. Sophia laughs while Jessica attempts to shaking her head at him. The doctor puts his gloves on before lifting the blanket and sitting on a chair at Jessica's feet. Sophia focuses on Jessica as she looks to the ceiling of the room.

"Looks like you are at about 4 cm dilated. You'll be there soon enough."

He places the blanket back down as he takes off his glove standing up. His eyes looking over her monitor before turning to the sisters. His eyes continuing to flicker to the red head beauty. She doesn't seem to notice as her eyes stay on Jessica.

"I'm sorry I don't think we've been introduced, I'm-"

"Not interested."

Sophia and the doctor's eyes snap to the door hearing the new voice. His eyes set narrowly on the doctor as he walks to Sophia's side kissing her soundly on the lips. The doctor stands there shell shocked momentarily as Luca pulls back turning to him.

"I-I'm sorry Doctor. I'm Sophia Andrews, Jessica's sister." She says blushing profusely while Luca stands there with his arm around her waist looking menacingly at the man in white.

"Nice to meet you Ms. Andrews." His attention turns back to his patient whose eye's are close tightly. He walks forward placing a hand on her shoulder. "I'll be back soon to check on you."

Jessica just nods her head not trusting her voice to not lash out on anyone. The doctor leaves the room and Brad walks in with a smug look on his face. He walks back over taking his seat beside Jessica looking at a red face Sophia.

"Anything interesting to report?"

"Shut it Brad"

He chuckles but doesn't say anything further. He takes Jessica's other hand making her smile through her pain. An hour goes by with just small talk amongst them all before they all hear a ruckus outside the door. Jessica even lifts her gaze to find a plethora of pink heading to the door.

"Someone help!"

Luca walks over taking the large pink bear and handful of balloons from Taylor. She sighs in relief as Sophia and Brad laugh.

"Did you buy the whole gift store?" Jessica asks breathing heavy.

"No" Taylor says sitting down another gift before standing straight with her hands on her hips. "I didn't buy the boy stuff."

Everyone laughs at her as she stands their proud of herself. Another wave of pain hits Jessica just as the door opens again and the doctor comes back in. His eyes going to Sophia before going to Jessica. Luca possessively tucking Sophia into his side. The action not going unnoticed by the group. He puts the gloves on his hand before pulling the chair up at Jessica's feet again. His eyes sneaking over to Sophia.

"Shouldn't you be focused on your patient."

"Luca!" Sophia says lowly.

Both Brad and Taylor bite their lip to stop from laughing. Brad gets up to leave but Jessica refuses to release his hand. He closes his eyes as the doctor pulls the blanket up. Luca turns his body so he is facing the wall but refuses to leave his tesoro to the eyes of the doctor.

"Good news Ms. Andrews, it's time."

"Oh thank god" She says throwing her head back into the bed.

"Who will be with you in the room?"

"My sister" Jessica says shaking their intertwine hands. Sophia smiles down at her sister while pushing her hair out of her face.

"Let's get moving then."

Just like that, everything begins moving quickly. They ushered the group out of the room making Luca look to Sophia. She gave him a smile and a nod. He gave her one before helping Taylor with the presents as they waited. The doctor walked back in covered head to toe. Thirty minutes later and the first wail of the beautiful baby could be heard. The doctor handing her over to the nurses as Jessica collapses back on the bed from exhaustion. She didn't want any meds in her system but it definitely tiresome. The nurse brought over the baby placing her on Jessica's chest as they cleaned her up. Sophia looked onto them with tears in her eyes.

"Congratulations, she is a healthy baby!" One of the nurses says as she hands another small blanket to lay over the little bundle. "Do you have a name for her?"

"Destiny... Destiny Andrews."

Sophia stood back allowing her sister the moment. She looked on with tears in her eyes. She was a beautiful baby girl. Jessica's hand gently touching her, caressing her.

"She's perfect Jess"

"Come here" Jessica ushers her sister forward. Sophia steps up to place her hand on the baby. "This is your aunt Sophia. She will be your godmother."

"Jessica" Sophia's tears finally releasing as her sister didn't give her the option anymore. Not like she would say no anyway. This was her niece.

Jessica lifts the baby off of her earning a whimper in protest from Destiny before she is safely placed in her aunt's arms. Sophia looking down at her in utter happiness.

"Hi my beautiful girl" She says gently as she sways side to side. Her eyes eventually back to her sister.

"You could have this one day Sophia..."

"Will see." Sophia says gently.
