I dont own Crossing Jordan... This was the first Crossing Jordan story i ever wrote... I hope you like it.
Forgive or Not To Forgive
Jordan was woken by her alarm clock, which was set for work. She turned off the alarm and sat up but was overcome with nausea.
She got up and bolted to the bathroom and made it to the toilet just in time to vomit, but as there was nothing in her stomach, it was just liquid. After almost constantly heaving for about 3 minutes, she stood up, flushed the toilet and then turned the shower on.
As she was getting dressed, Jordan thought to herself, "I have a feeling that, this isn't the stomach flu".
As soon as she arrived at work, she quickly parked her car in her usual parking spot, went up the elevator and rushed to her office and locked the door behind her. Lily saw and became worried. She walked over to the door.
Inside the office, Jordan grabbed out her calendar from her desk drawer and realised that she had missed her last month's period. She then thought back to the night 7 weeks ago, when she had sex with Woody without protection.
"Oh, shit! I must be pregnant" Jordan whispered and started crying.
Lily over hearing the crying knocked on the door.
"Go away" Jordan cried from inside the office.
"Jordan. It's me. Please let me in"
Jordan didn't reply, just kept crying. Lily gave up and walked into Garret's office.
"Garret"
"Yes, Lily?" Garret replied looking up at her.
"I'm worried about Jordan"
"What's she done now?"
"She's locked herself in her office and she's crying"
Garret sighed and stood up.
"Ok I'll try" Garret replied as he proceeded to walk to Jordan's office.
He got there just as she was walking out; he noticed her pale face, red, puffy eyes and the black bags that hugged them.
"Jordan, what's up?"
"Nothing, why? I'm going to help Nigel in an autopsy"
"No you aren't. You're gonna come have a chat with me"
"No. I don't need a pep talk. I'm gonna help, Nige"
In autopsy, Jordan was just about to cut open the body of a 44 year old male, when she felt a wave of nausea run through her. She put down the scalpel and bolted to the toilet.
"Jordan? Love?" Nigel called out after her.
She made it to the toilet just in time to throw up yet again.
When she finished, she rushed in to her office and grabbed her handbag, ignoring Lily calling her, as she rushed out of the building.
She walked to the pharmacy, a couple blocks away and bought a pregnancy test before rushing back to the morgue and snuck in to the bathroom. After what seemed like the longest 5 minutes of her life, she looked at the box, then at the stick.
"1 red line means negative. 1 blue line means positive" She whispered to herself.
She then looked at the stick. A blue line had appeared, and she started crying. "I'm pregnant", she cried to herself, "how am I gonna tell Woody, that he's gonna be a father?"
She wiped away her tears and composed herself before walking out of the bathroom, and continued the rest of the day like normal.
When she finished work, she drove to her grandmother's house and got a credit card with a fake name before going to the bank to withdraw all of her money and put it in to the other account. So Nigel couldn't track her by her credit card.
When she finally arrived home, she packed her suitcase and put her guitar in its case before setting the alarm for 6 am and went to sleep.
When the alarm woke her at 6 am, she turned it off and rushed to the toilet and threw up 4 times before having a shower.
She got dressed and got something small to eat before locking her apartment and hopping in to the taxi waiting for her.
She caught a flight to Chicago, because she knew that no-one would suspect her to go there. She left her cell phone at home turned off, so Nigel definitely couldn't track her.
[Meanwhile At The Morgue
Garret was going crazy trying to find Jordan because she hadn't turned up for work. When Woody turned up, he found Dr Macy hanging around outside Jordan's office.
"Hey Dr Macy. Have you seen Jordan? She's not at her apartment"
"Shit. She's done a runner" Garret muttered under his breath. Before answering Woody. "No. I haven't, she should be here"
The next morning, what he got to work, he was so worried about Jordan, so he checked his email to see if there was one from her. There was one. He opened it.
To: Garret Macy
From: Dr Jordan Cavanaugh
Suibject: Sorry
Hey Garret,
Sorry about all this. I had to leave for a very good reason, this time.
I have to work something out. I don't know when or if I'll be back.
"Shit" He muttered to himself, not realising Lily was standing in the doorway.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh Lily. You scared me"
"What's going on? Was that from Jordan?"
Garret nodded. "Yeah. She's done another runner"
"Ok. We better tell Nigel and Bug"
Garret nodded and they walked into Trace to tell Nigel and Bug.
"She's done another runner, guys"
"Who? Jordan?" Nigel asked as he and Bug turned around.
Lily nodded beginning to cry.
"Lily. Love. Don't cry. I'll try find her"
"Ok, guys. Let me know" Garret replied before turning around and walking out.
[2 Hours Later
Garret walked back in with Lily. "Well?"
"Dr M, she has made it so we can't track her. She doesn't wanna be found" Nigel said sadly.
"Damn it. Why did she do this? She knows we would have been here for her" Lily said crying.
Garret put his arm around Lily for some comfort.
"Lily, you know how Jordan is. She'll be back when she's ready. Send her an email, see if she gives an explanation and see if she says where she is. She may decide to say" Garret said in a soothing voice before walking out with Lily.
[Meanwhile in Chicago
Jordan is suffering from pretty bad morning sickness. She has no-one to turn to and she was not starting to get homesick. She was sitting on the floor in the hotel room and checked her emails. There was one from Lily. She hesitated but decided to open it.
