"It's just so overwhelming," Jessica told Parade on the red carpet after her win. "Not only is this amazing moment happening, but I'm really close in my pregnancy of becoming a mother."
Jessica said when it was just her standing on stage with Chris Turner while the two of them waited to find out who was the winner and who was the runner-up, she was remembering what she thought about the night before while watching the performances.
"I was watching and I was like, 'Wow! This is just full of talent and I really don't know what's going to happen. I've done all that I can. We'll just see what happens. So, I honestly wasn't expecting to win. I'm going to go home and have my baby and that's my win. I'm just feeling so grateful that the Lord has blessed me with this opportunity."
Jessica, who's nine months pregnant is hoping to make it back to her Houston, TX, home before the baby arrives. She isn't allowed to fly at this point in her pregnancy, so she's being driven, which takes several days from California.
Then after the baby's birth, when she's ready to resume her career, she's looking forward to her music being an inspiration.
"Coming back into music after so long, my goal was to really shift my mindset from winning Grammys – that's the big dream – but I think there's purpose behind it now," Jessica says. "I want to inspire other people to follow their dreams and touch people through my music, so I'm just going to continue to write music and play music."
