Da da da da! Here it is readers! The last chapter of Looks Can Be Deceiving, the very first story I've ever finished on Fanfiction. I feel so proud! I couldn't have gotten here without your support. All your reviews and kind PM's are what inspired me to keep writing and not just ditch the story.
There WILL be a sequel starring Timmy and Hannah's child. I'm not sure when I'll start it, but it WILL be done! Now it's time for the show! I mean…Chapter! Yeah, let's go with that.
I don't own FOP. I own Jenny, Hannah, and the baby.
Chapter 20
"Come on Hannah! You can do it! Keep pushing!" Timmy was standing anxiously in a hospital room with a nurse beside him. He held Hannah's hand as she sat in the hospital bed, crying out in pain.
Timmy gave the nurse a worried look. "Is she going to be alright?"
The nurse, who had a name tag with the name, "Jade" nodded. "She's doing fine. Nothing's going wrong." She patted Hannah's foot reassuringly. "You're nearly done dear. Keep pushing. You can do it!"
"Uggggggggggh!" Hannah screamed, her grip on Timmy's hand so tight that he was losing feeling in his entire arm.
And then suddenly the groaning stopped and was replaced with the most beautiful sound in the world.
"Wah!"
Timmy gasped, and Hannah started panting, trying hard to catch her breath. Jade scooped up the crying child in a white towel and started drying it off. When she was done, she handed the baby to Hannah, who now was softly crying. "Congratulations. You have a beautiful baby girl."
Hannah gasped in amazement. "A girl. We have a girl!" she whispered in wonder to Timmy. She carefully cradled the bundle so she could look at the baby. "Look at her Timmy. She's gorgeous." The husband and wife didn't notice Jade leaving to fetch some equipment.
The baby girl was very small. She had a small amount of brown hair with lighter streaks on the top of her head. Her skin was bright red, but she was no longer crying. Instead she was gazing up at her parents with wonder.
Timmy gasped. "Hannah! Look at her eyes!" he exclaimed.
The baby's eyes were not blue like Timmy's and Hannah's. Instead they were a deep, beautiful…
Hazel.
"You know, her eyes remind me of what my best friend's eyes looked like before she died." Hannah mused.
Timmy froze at her words. "Wait a second." he thought to himself. "What was the name of Jenny's friend? Hailey? Heather? Helga?"
Swallowing, he asked her. "What was your friend's name?"
"Jennifer." Hannah answered, still gazing at their baby. "But you weren't allowed to call her that. She insisted on being called Jenny. She was so cool. Fearless and daring. Willing to try anything. She and I did so many crazy things together. And she loved rainbows."
Timmy almost couldn't speak. He couldn't believe it. He was married to Jenny's friend. Was it coincidence? Or…Fate?
"You know, I knew Jenny too." he finally managed to choke out. "Really? How?" Hannah asked, finally looking up.
"Uh…Internet! Yeah, we met on a chat site." Timmy lied, using the excuse he had always used for questions like that.
"Hmm. That's funny. She never mentioned you." Hannah murmured, half to herself. "Now, what should we name the baby?"
"Well…She made us remember Jenny." Timmy meekly said. "Maybe we should name her Jenny."
"No. It's a great idea, but not really the right name for this little bundle of joy." Hannah tickled the baby's chin, and she cooed. "If we named her Jenny, it would make me sad, because I'd always remember her death. I was right there when it happened. That was the worst day of my life. I don't want to be reminded of that every single day."
"Well, when we saw her eyes, she made us remember Jenny." Timmy contemplated. "What about Hazel?"
"No, it's not special enough." Hannah stared down at the baby for a few minutes, then brightened. "I've got it! Memory Jay."
"Memory?" repeated Timmy. "Yeah. She gave us back memories of Jenny. And Jay could signify the first letter in the name 'Jenny.' I think it's pretty." Hannah eyed Timmy. "What do you think?"
"Memory Jay." Timmy thought. "It really is a pretty name. And it's the perfect way to honour Jenny."
He smiled softly at his wife and baby. "I love it." he responded. Then he held out his arms. "Can I…Can I hold her?"
Hannah nodded and handed Memory to Timmy. He carefully took her in her blanket, and made sure that he was supporting his child the best he could. Now there was an air of peace in the hospital room. A lull that relaxed Timmy's body and mind. He beamed down at Memory, and she looked up at him, her hazel eyes shimmering with love and wisdom. For a moment, Timmy thought he saw Jenny's reflection in her pupils, but then it vanished.
"Jenny, you'll never be forgotten." Timmy spoke inside his moment.
And at that moment, the rain outside stopped and a beautiful rainbow filled the sky.
The End.
That's it folks! Oh my gosh! I can't believe that it's done! Please read and review, and watch out for the sequel. It WILL come out!
Thank you again so much for your support! I know this chapter is short, but I hope you still like it.
