Baby Surprise
A/N: Ok, so I posted this a while ago as part of the 30 Days 30 Songs challenge, but I got HORRIBLE flames because it's a song fic. I decided to remove it until I felt I could re-post it as a single fic inspired by a song and here it is.
Only the song title inspires this song.
This fic is also one of the prequels to Typical Family Christmas.
Disclaimer: Don't own them, just playing with them. Don't own the song. Beta read by I think ur Superman.
Jackie sat and stared at the little stick of white plastic in her hands as the alarm on her phone beeped to signify the passing of five minutes.
She didn't want to look at what the stick was going to tell her as she didn't know what to think about either outcome. Did she want it to be positive or negative?
Part of her head was screaming that no, she didn't want this. She had just been promoted to D.I. and her life was screwed up. She had drunkenly slept with Robbie after Chris broke up with her, so the paternity couldn't be entirely confirmed.
Who did she want to be the father if she the stick said positive? Chris would be the nice, safe option; the one who wouldn't mess her about, but what if she chose him and the baby turned out to be Robbie's? Would he still accept the baby? Robbie on the other hand, already had a kid who he didn't see. From what she had observed of his time spent with Jamie, he was a great father. And the concern he had shown of that little baby left on the door step of the crime scene showed that he loved all children, no matter who their parents were. There was no doubt that Robbie would accept the child as his, even if he wasn't the biological father.
Chris had declared his love for her when she had the pregnancy scare a few months ago, but as soon as she told him it was a false alarm he was off. She had saw him recently with another woman in a posh restaurant, so she was guessing he wouldn't really accept the news when she told him.
Robbie had always been there for her, no matter what. Even when she was with Brian. Robbie was her best friend and despite his faults, he was the one she could always depend on.
Taking a deep breath, Jackie made the two biggest choices in her life. She turned over the stick and smiled at the result.
She and Robbie were going to be parents, whether he liked it or not.
