Bringing back previous characters Aidan & Jamie, Jordan's cop & M.E friends from L.A. who appeared in my story taking your time.
"All done, with time to spare" Jordan announced triumphantly as she yanked off her rubber gloves and apron from the autopsy she had just finished and tossed them into the biohazard bin.
"In time for what love?" Nigel asked as he strolled into the room with Woody in tow.
"Oh, I'm off this weekend, my friends Aidan & Jamie, you guys met them last year, are coming into town, we all have to go to a wedding out of town but this is the first time I'm getting to see their baby, my Goddaughter" Jordan said proudly.
"Aww, you've got a Goddaughter? You never told us that!" Lily said having just come into the room.
"Sorry, she's only two months old, we've all had a bit going on these past few months" She said this part looking directly at Woody. "I guess I just didn't mention her"
"What's her name?" Woody asked. They had been making progress in the civility department and were almost capable of being able to hold a conversation again, that is as long as it didn't get into anything personal between the two of them. But it was a step in the right direction, before even getting a hello out of either of them was a feat.
"It's Jordan actually, they named her after me" she said beaming with pride.
"That's nice, maybe she'll grow up to be as tough as you" he offered, the nicest compliment he could think to say about giving the baby her name.
"Yeah, hopefully without all my problems though" Jordan said with a frown.
"Well you get by" Woody said, not really feeling like sympathizing about her problems. After the four year ordeal of them doing their little dance with no progress because of her supposed intimacy problems she had no problem jumping into bed with that reporter. The thought of her with him made Woody want to throw up but he was desperately trying to work out his anger and keep his peace with everyone, including Jordan. That's what Tallulah said he needed to do and that's what he was going to do.
Jordan just stared at him, wanting to say something, to tell him she was ready now, that it by his own choice that they weren't together now but she knew It would be of no use, he still didn't believe her true feelings for him and besides that there was JD for her and Tallulah for him, they had both moved on with other people, there was no need to say what she wanted to say now.
Just then Emmy came into the room "Jordan, your friends just got here; they're waiting in your office"
"Thanks Emmy, tell them I'll be right there, I'm just going to get changed" Jordan said.
"Well while you're doing that I'm going to go say hello and get a peek at that baby" Lily smiled excitedly. "You guys should come too" she said inviting Nigel & Woody along since they had all met Aidan & Jamie last year when they came to town to get Jordan for their own wedding.
"Hi" Lily said cheerfully entering Jordan's office.
"Hey Lily, How are you?" Jamie asked hugging her hello.
"Oh my God, this must be Jordan" Lily said leaning down to look at the little baby all wrapped up in the blanket in Aidan's arms. "She's gorgeous!" Lily gushed and started babbling baby talk along with Nigel.
"Hey guys, good to see you again, congratulations on the baby" Woody said.
"Hey Woody, how are you? We're so glad you're alright, Jordan told us about the shooting" Jamie said hugging him.
"Well I appreciate your concern but I'm fine now" He said.
"But you and Jordan still aren't, we thought you guys would be married by now" She frowned.
Woody glanced at Nigel & Lily who quickly looked back down at the baby & busied themselves with her, pretending not to listen.
"Yeah well, Listen I gotta go but it really was good seeing you guys" Woody said trying to extricate himself from this very uncomfortable line of questioning
He turned to go and ran straight into Jordan, he immediately grabbed onto her to steady her to keep her from falling. Her body was right against his, her hands gripped his forearms. They stared at each other briefly before Woody pulled away "Sorry Jordan" he said and walked away quickly.
"He can't get away from me fast enough these days" she complained out loud.
"Oh honey" Jamie said hugging her.
"Hey, none of that, you guys give me a hug and let me see my beautiful goddaughter" Jordan said greeting her friends, hugging them both. Aidan gently handed over his daughter.
"You guys did good, she's absolutely beautiful" Jordan complimented.
"We'll leave you guys alone so you can catch up" Lily said.
"Well we're not leaving for the wedding until tomorrow, Jordan why don't you invite everyone out to dinner, we'll make a night of it" Jamie suggested.
"Yeah, sounds good, can you guys handle letting everyone else know? Let's plan for 7pm, that new Thai place we went to last week?" Jordan suggested.
"Sounds good, we'll see you guys later" Nigel said.
Jamie pulled Lily aside "Don't forget Woody, tell him we insist he come"
"Good maybe you can talk some sense into those two, no one else has had any luck" Lily sighed.
