JJ named after Jack and Patrick Lockhart - can you elaborate on that one? I sort of remember that time period, but I don't remember the connection between JJ, Jen, or Jack and Patrick. Thanks!
 
If I remember right, Jennifer was VERY pregnant, when she went looking for Jack at Melaswen. Patrick went with her, and ended up delivering her baby.

While it is truly an honor to have a baby named after a family member, it certainly can cause some confusion later on.
 
Jennifer met Patrick when she was early in her pregnancy. She ran over him in her driveway (backing out), but he had somehow set it up. Bonnie thought he was going to play Jennifer in some injury lawsuit, but he never did.

At first he appeared to be just very nice and helpful with Jennifer. When she went into premature labor, he gave her a gold coin as a good luck touchstone. Her labor stopped. He was very protective of her. Patrick delivered the baby on the island where Melaswen was, so Jennifer gave the baby Patrick's name (as a middle name). Patrick was also JJ's godfather.
