Blair went home to find Cliff watching football. "Hey Blair, how's Jo?" Cliff asked, his eyes never leaving the TV.
"Awful. Rick and her son Eric died."
Cliff looked up from the game; "Oh... she must feel terrible."
"Yeah, but I'll cheer her up." Blair picked up her phone book and dialed Natalie's number. "Hello, Natalie. This is Blair."
"Blair! It's so great to hear your voice!" The voice on the other end exclaimed.
"Yours too. But to get down to why I called, Jo's had a really rough time lately."
"What happened?"
"Rick, and her son Eric, died in a car crash."
"Oh, poor Jo."
"So, I was hoping to cheer her up by throwing her a baby shower, and it would mean so much it you were here."
"You mean, Jo's husband and son died, AND she's pregnant. Of course I'll be there, I'll try to get the first flight out."
"Great, call me when you have your flight plans then."
"Okay, bye." Blair next called Tootie, and their phone conversation was much the same. Blair hoped this would help Jo, if it didn't, Blair didn't know what she could do to help her.

The next evening Nat and Tootie arrived, and Blair picked them up at the airport. They'd be staying with her and Cliff. "So Blair, when's the shower?" Natalie asked as she stepped into Blair's car.
"Tuesday Morning." Blair replied.
"How in the world will you get her to come over?" Tootie wondered
"Well I told her on Tuesday Mrs. Garret would watch Jinny, while me and her go shopping. When she arrives... SURPRISE!!!"
"Blair, for once your idea really is brilliant!" The three girls laugh and continue on their way.

It was now Tuesday and Jo was ready to leave with Jinny.
"Come on Jin!"
"Mommy... I'm scared!"
"Don't be. You remember Mrs. G, she gave you a cookie." Jinny thought about that for a minute, and then remembered what Grandma Rose had told her about being good.
"Okay, lets go." Jo quickly glanced at herself in the mirror, and tried to make herself look presentable. Jo sighed and her and Jinny left for what was thought to be a simple shopping trip.

Jo rang the doorbell, and Jinny tightly clutched her mother's hand. "It's okay Jinny, I love you."
Cliff opened the door, "Hey Jo, long time no see, huh!"
"Yeah, nice to see you too," Jo said hugging Cliff.
"Oh, Blair and Mrs. Garret are in the kitchen."
"Thanks Cliff." Before Jo could walk through the door, Jinny tugged on her sleeve, "Up mommy."
"Oh Jin, I thought her were a big girl." Jo said as she picked up her daughter.
"Nope," was all Jinny said. Jo pushed open the door.
"SURPRISE!" Jo looked around in shock. It was a baby shower... for her. And better yet, Nat and Tootie were there.
"Jo!" Natalie exclaimed rushing over to Jo.
"Hey Nat, Tootie!"
"It's been too long Jo!" Tootie said giving her a quick hug.
"And who is this mini-Jo?" Nat asked. Jinny just buried her head in Jo's shoulder.
"This is Jinny. Jinny how old are you?" Jinny cautiously held up four fingers. "Well Jin, these are my friends, Natalie, and Tootie."
"Hi Jinny, I have a daughter Caroline, she's five." Natalie told Jinny.
Jo sort of laughed. "She's a little shy."
The room suddenly grew serious. "Jo, we're so sorry to hear about Rick and Eric." Natalie finally said.
"Yeah how are you doing?" Tootie asked
"The truth... awful." Blair spoke up, "come on this is a party!"

******WARNING THIS IS WHERE THE STORY GOES INTO SAPPY MODE******
That night, the four friends were sitting in Blair's living room. "You know I've really missed you guys." Tootie said.
"We can't grow apart again, we need each other." Jo declared
"Right, we should always be here for each other, always." Natalie added.
"Then it's a pact... friends for ever?" Blair asked.
"Yes!" Everyone agreed and they held up their glasses of a non-alcoholic beverage (Jo's pregnant... remember).
"Friends Forever!" they said clinking glasses.
"Tootie," Jo said, "Ask me how I'm going again."
"Okay. Jo how are you doing?"
"It's going to be rough, but now that I've got my family back, I'll be okay."

******** THE END ********
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO REPLIED, YOU GUYS ARE WAY TO NICE FOR PEOPLE I'VE NEVER MET BEFORE!!
