The wedding day arrived. Jasmine dressed and readied herself with her bridal party. The dress was beautiful, everything was perfect.

Except Jasmine couldn't shake the doubts which had crept into her head and taken up residence ever since she had seen that positive test. Though she had wished it away, it was not to be, and she had kept her secret throughout the weeks of preparations hoping nobody would notice. But as long as she kept her secret, the more she began to worry about what the future would look like for herself and her little bean. What kind of future she would be creating for them when she said I Do in the church that day.

Ginger had noticed her sister's demeanour. She had thought something was off about Jasmine ever since they had arrived. And in the final moments before they departed for the church, she approached her to ask if she was still having doubts.

Jasmine came clean to her sister. She let her secret out for the first time, and with it all of her fears and doubts.

'Jas, you don't have to go through with this,' said Ginger. 'I know it's everything you could have ever dreamed, your perfect fairytale, but I mean... this life will come with a cost. You'll have to do everything right, or at least be seen to. You won't have the kind of control you would want to have over your child's upbringing. Heck you won't have control over your own life.'

'I know,' sobbed Jasmine. 'And I don't know if that outweighs the benefits that they could have otherwise... in a life like this.'

'It's your choice,' said Ginger gently, hugging her sister. 'I'll have your back no matter what you want to do.'

Despite her wobbles, they made it to the church. The old cathedral was filled with their family and friends. Jasmine's parents and siblings were there, and as she walked down the aisle and saw their smiling faces she felt better. She could do this. And there was Andrew. He would take care of her. Take care of them both.

But as the proceedings started and Andrew took her hands in his, Jasmine realised in fact she could not. She couldn't do it. Her gut was screaming no and there was nothing else for it.

Leaving Andrew confused and flustered at the alter, Jasmine ran back down the aisle, past the gasps and shocked faces and out into the winter sunshine.

Jacob booked a romantic weekend getaway for him and Jasmine down in Brindleton Bay. Jasmine was blown away by the beautiful little seaside cottage, and the quaint town in the early fall. The pair while away their day down on the beach, splashing in the water and playing in the sand. They strolled together around the quiet, peaceful seaside and soaked in the solitude and space. It was all too perfect.

The holiday was so perfect, in fact, that Jasmine had sneaking suspicion that maybe Jacob would be asking her something that weekend... perhaps the next day.

But as they readied themselves for bed in the cottage that night, Jacbo became overly frustrated with the murphy bed setup, and tragedy struck.

The very next day after the wedding Jasmine left Britechester and the entire life she had built for herself there. She didn’t want to see Andrew, or anyone who would tell her how wrong she had been. She knew it was cowardly of her, to run away from the mess and the hurt she had caused without trying to fix things. But she just couldn’t face it. Her instinct was telling her to go home, to where she could be safe. To where her baby would be safe too.

Jasmine landed in San Myshuno, and rented a flat in the city. It was big enough just for her and her child, a place they could call home and rebuild a life together. She set about readying the house herself - it was a huge task, buying new furniture and decorating the baby’s nursery. She had left everything in Britechester behind. But she was on her own now, and nobody else was going to do it for her.

As Jasmine sat on her new sofa and felt her baby’s first kicks, she finally felt something akin to contentedness. This was all she needed and she hadn’t even known it. She wasn’t afraid of being a single parent. She had always been looking for someone to share her life with, but she was looking for the wrong person. But here was that someone, tucked safe inside, and when they emerged into the world she would never be alone again.

Jasmine and Andrew’s engagement was announced publicly, and plans quickly began for their wedding. It was strange having so many eyes on them, and Jasmine found herself thrust into the spotlight of the world that Andrew inhabited. She was having to be careful how she dressed, how she spoke. Still, it was all so exciting, and as they stood for a formal portrait to accompany their announcement she felt as happy as could be.

Until the very next day when she received the shock of her life.

Jasmine had always been so careful. She didn’t know what to think or feel. But suddenly, she found herself feeling lost and unsure about what lay ahead. What she wanted to do.

Andrew’s family hosted a large celebration for their engagement. Jasmine tried her best to put on a brave face and appear every bit as excited as she had been for their future together mere days ago. But the weight of her news bore down on her and made it hard to perform the part. She spent much of the evening standing to the side, being jostled by Rebecca to come to the bathroom with her while pretending to drink her glass of wine.

Jasmine thought about her family a lot. She thought about her siblings, living their little lives back in Copperdale with their loved ones. Her Moms, who had given her a childhood filled with joy. How despite her Mom Heather’s success they had kept their family grounded and humble. That was the kind of parent she wanted to be too.

But what kind of parent would she have to be if she brought a child into the world she was becoming a part of? What would the expectations be? What kind of person would she raise - would she even get a say?

Jasmine had been so stressed and lonely in Britechester that it was a huge relief when her sister Ginger came to visit. Having her sister around made her feel safe and understood - it was a familiar feeling of slipping into something cosy. Ginger was such a fun person to be around, a breath of fresh air even though they were so very different, but Jasmine welcomed the change of pace that Ginger brought with her. After all, she wasn't having much fun these days.

Ginger of course wanted to take Jasmine out and help her let loose. Jasmine let her lead them out into the night to some bizzare club to dance to the crazy, frenetic music Ginger seemed to love. After several shots she found herself getting quite into it - in fact the energy of the dancefloor in these punk spaces felt like a workout, letting her endorphins flow.

Maybe it was all the shots, or maybe it was desperation, but Jasmine found herself totally uninhibited. She was out of control of her own desires and drawn to someone on the dancefloor. The club was throbbing with energy and she was craving some kind of pleasure... next thing she knew, she was hooking up with a stranger.

But not long after she found herself losing all sense of herself, totally inebriated. Ginger noticed her sister starting to flop about and decided it was time to go home. But how would she get Jasmine out of there herself when she could barely walk?

Fortunately, at the behest of Ginger, the man Jasmine had been necking with offered to help them get out. His name was Ashton, and he carried Jasmine out of the club and back to her flat, where they put her to bed.

Jasmine woke the next morning with a throbbing headache. She felt terrible, but then flashbacks of the night started coming to her and she felt so embarrassed by how she had behaved.

She walked out into the kitchen to find her sister and someone she didn't know at her kitchen table. Except - oh no - she remembered him! It was the man from the club the night before! Had she slept with him and forgotten?

When they saw her come into the kitchen Ginger and Ashton laughed at how terrible Jasmine looked. 'It's ok, Ash put you to bed and slept out here,' said Ginger. 'Say thank you to the nice man for carrying you home.'

Jasmine felt a huge wave of relief. Sure he was a nice guy for carrying her home, but he wasn't her type at all. She was glad she hadn't done something she'd regret... except for all the alcohol.

Jasmine found herself grinding through life these days. Work was all consuming, she had no boyfriend or romance life to speak of. She spent her evenings eating take away by herself after exhausting days in the office, usually ending up on msn talking to her siblings.

Two big events happened in the Prescott-Jones family that fall - the wedding of Ginger and Ashton, and the long awaited nuptials between Quincy and Kylie.

Jasmine travelled back to Copperdale for her siblings weddings. Ginger’s event was every bit as edgy as she was, whereas Quincy’s was a more classic but modest affair. The family all gathered to celebrate together, and Jasmine was able to introduce them all to Andrew, who had accompanied her back home as her official boyfriend.

To Jasmine’s delight and surprise, at the reception for Quincy’s wedding Andrew took to one knee and held up the most glorious ring she had ever seen. Finally, it was her turn.

Her siblings were indignant at her for stealing their thunder, but nevertheless were so happy that Jasmine was going to finally settle down with someone of her own. Her moms too were so happy for the pair, especially knowing that Jasmine had nabbed herself an aristocrat for a fiance. It seemed only fitting for their girl.

It had all happened very fast, but as Jasmine basked in the glory of her engagement, she didn’t give it a second thought. It was meant to be!

Jasmine went on several more dates with Jacob, and before long the pair were an item. It was the nicest feeling, to be in a relationship once more, but this time it was a real, adult one. Jacob was busy, and he worked long hours, but this worked well for Jasmine and her busy career too. They had a mutual respect for the demands on one another's time, and spent all of the free time they did have with one another - going to the movies, romantic picnics, even just making dinner together in the quiet of home.

Things moved quickly. Perhaps this was what it was like, being in a real adult relationship - they were older than college, and Jasmine knew now there was more to it than just the physical. Jacob was respectful of her time and her needs; he was funny, but gentle; he was tender and thoughtful. She had never been with someone so in touch with themselves before, and it made Jasmine start picturing a potential future with Jacob as her partner.
