World's worst kept secret

Under the wondering eyes of her friends and Sophia's hopeful ones, Jenny elaborated on her plan. "Though we might not be able to get customized dresses, getting three matching dresses, should not be a problem with the owner of a fashion empire on one side and the owner of a warehouse, with many high class clothing stores, on the other side. We can't do anything about the pregnancy rumours, since you won't be able to hide the fact that you are pregnant forever. So, one way or another they will find out that you were pregnant during this day. Instead of waiting for when you will become the topic of conversation and turning it into a shameful thing that needed to be hidden, we should stop avoiding the elephant in the room and instead give them something bigger to talk about." Jenny was clearly in her element because her eyes were twinkling as she continued to explain what she had in mind. With each bit of information she was convincing the girls and most importantly Sophia, that everything would be okay.

"We can make sure that they are too busy to focus on your pregnancy by providing them with just the right amount of distraction. With Elizabeth's family in the entertainment world, I am sure we can fix something. A few celebrity guests to steal the focus perhaps? Or a famous performer to accompany your wedding band? And last but not least dear Sophia, don't worry about it looking like a rush job. Your parents have done a wonderful job and have spared no expense. It looks absolutely stunning downstairs and you have nothing to be ashamed of." And with that, in just a matter of seconds, Jenny had managed to turn Sophia's mood around. Making her as excited as a bride on her wedding day should be.

Once she had gotten Sophia's approval, she pulled the guys in and gave everyone a task to complete. Of course they had to try to be as discreet as possible to prevent the guests that had arrived and would be arriving over the course of this hour of finding out what they were doing. Otherwise it would still appear like a rush job. One of the things that had caused Sophia's worries to begin with. Though Jenny was keeping a calm and brave front for Sophia, Jason could tell she wasn't as calms as she appeared to be. Despite what she had told Sophia, an hour might be a lot of time, but it was barely enough to get all that they wanted done. So, before he went out to start on the assignment he had gotten from her, he walked over to her and gave her a hug from behind. Feeling she could use one at the moment, because it was something that had a calming effect on her and allowed all her worries to wash away. At least that was what she had once told him. If a small action like this could help her in any way, he would always be willing to provide her with a hug and if it didn't help he would have lost nothing from it.

Though a bit startled by his sudden action, it appeared that it had the desired effect on her. As Jenny leaned back into his hug, she let out a deep breath before smiling gently. Placing her hand on his arm and stroking it back and forth, she told him 'Thank you' and he returned her wordless expression of gratitude with a kiss on top of her head holding the words 'You're welcome'. After he felt that the tenseness had disappeared from Jenny's body, he let go of her. Ending their hug in just a few seconds, but not before he gave a slight squeeze of her shoulders and placed another soft kiss on the back of her head. Without either of them looking back, they got started on what they had to do. Though they each had different people in mind as they tried to get the job done, they were both filled with the desire to make this into a success. Jenny wanting to help her friends and Jason wanting to help Jenny help their friends.

As the friends caught a glimpse every now and then on how hard Jason was trying to get things done, even helping with the tasks of the others once he had successfully completed his, it was clear to them that he was doing it all to make a woman other than the bride happy. All he wanted to achieve with today's work was for a smile appear on Jenny's face. He had always been a supporter of Jenny's desires and wishes and an enemy of her worries. Be it in the dark or in plain sight and today was no different. The only one who didn't seem to notice his motive was Jenny. Who wholeheartedly believed that Jason was trying to help a friend. And though Jason would help his friends if it were a 'real' problem, the amount of effort today for what would barely classify as a problem in Jason's book, made it world's worst kept secret that he was doing it all for Jenny. Whatever his reasons may be, however you may feel about the way he did things, he had managed to get it all done. Leaving all of them as spectators of his one man show instead of helpers of today's main event.
