Stay With Me

~Epilogue~

Jana heard a soft knock on the door, so she stands and sighs as she walks over to the door, a hand on her stomach even though she barely had a bump. ''Daddy?" She hears Tori say as she walks down the stairs.
''Hi Mommy, have you seen my Daddy?'' Tori asks her with a smile. ''Yeah sweetie, he's in the kitchen.'' Jana tells her. ''Thank you.'' Tori runs off towards the kitchen with out another word.
Jana peeks past the window curtains to see if she could recognize the vehicle. In the drive way sat a white Nissan car, shiny and clean looking. She furrows her eyebrows as she walks back to the door.
She hesitates as she grabs the handle. ''Niall!'' She yells suddenly. It wasn't long before Niall came running through the kitchen door and straight to her. "Baby, are you okay?'' He asks, placing one hand on her stomach and the other on her waist.
''Ni..I'm fine its just.. I don't know who that is that's outside..'' She smiles sweetly as she kisses the corner of his mouth gently. ''oh..well let's find out.'' He says, dropping his hands.
Niall opens the door and he raises his eyebrows, shocked and confused at the same time as Jana stands beside him.
She stares at the woman in front of them. ''May I help you?'' Niall mumbles. ''Um..I'm looking for Jana Bennett..'' She says, fumbling with her fingers. ''That's me..'' Jana says as Niall's hand grabs hers, he always enjoyed holding her hand and intertwining their fingers together.
''I'm um.. Isabella Caldwell..'' she says. ''Is...Isa....bella.'' Jana whispers, looking over at Niall. ''Isn't..that..your..''Niall stops himself from saying anything. ''Jana..I'm..your mother.'' She says, rolling in her lips nervously. ''And I'd like to tell you that I'm sorry I haven't came around any.. and I want to be involved with you, honey. Your dad told me.. about your daughter.. and the one on the way.. and the engagement and I just... I want to be in your life.. can I?'' Isabella asks Jana, her eyes watering at the sight of her grown daughter in front of her, amazed at what she had become.
''I...'' Jana mumbles, but pauses, looking down at her hand, then to her stomach, then to Niall. ''Yes..'' She whispers.
