Thanks for the reviews

A short time later Claire felt safe enough to head back to bed. Collapsing on the pillows she closed her eyes and smiled as she whispered...
"Thank you Magic Kingdom."
Oh yeah, she knew she was pregnant alright. There was not one day that she had forgotten to mark her calendar. Picking up the phone she called her mom.
"Hello."
"Hi daddy, where's mom?"
"She's at the drug store picking up my meds love, are you okay?"
"Yeah daddy, I'm great. I'll talk to you later. I love you."
"I love you too sweetheart."
Hanging up the phone Mac turned and seen his son pulling himself up, while holding onto the couch.
"That's it son, look at you go. Come to daddy."
Smiling at his daddy with his new front teeth, he cautiously walked along the couch to his daddy's waiting arms.
Rushing to dress. Claire grabbed her keys and headed out the door. Parking her car in the lot at the drug store, she seen her mom just heading in.
"Mom... mom... wait up."
"Hi sweetheart. What are you doing here?"
"I came to see you mom, can we go for coffee when you're done."
"Sure Claire. Listen love, you look pale, are you okay?"
"I'm better then okay mom. I'm pregnant."
Stella stopped and turned. Feeling her eyes fill with tears, she whispered...
"Are you sure?"
Tearing up herself, Claire said..."I'm positive mom. I'm 100 per cent positive."
"Ohhh...ohh...I'm so happy for you and Tony. Have you told him yet?"
"Not yet mom. I didn't want to get him to excited, on his first day at the University."
"Good...once I'm done here, we'll go shopping and pick up two little teddy bears, one pink, one blue, and I'll show you a perfect way to tell him, and your boys, together."
Kissing her daughter with happiness, they walked into the drug store.
Meanwhile...
Jerry needed to find some money and soon. He had to ditch the car weeks ago. Especially with it being stolen. He also knew the cops would know it was him who killed the kid in the stairwell, as his prints were everywhere.
Coming out of the empty building, he pulled the hat down over his face, and stayed to the side streets. God he was hungry. Even going to the Mission would do no good. All those areas were sure to be covered.
Walking a little further, he noticed a restaurant cook tossing out food into the bin. Waiting till he went back in, Jerry headed over and took out peoples left over meals. Eating till he was full, he walked down West 25th street at 5th Avenue.
Nearing the Comfort Inn, he seen Detectives Don Flack, and Messer get out of their unit and head into the Inn with his mother and half brother.
Watching in the shadows, he wondered what would have brought her back to New York. All he knew in that moment, was all his hate had returned.
Clenching his fist, he pounded the cement wall, cutting his nuckles. He needed to do it, he needed to release that anger that was building again.
Heading back down the alley's, he entered the empty building he had found, and thought out the most strategic way to kill his family.
