Lips of an Angel
a Jiberty,JTia story
This is before the events of Rock This Town and Bitterest Pill so JT isn't dead in this. It is set during What IT Feels Like to Be a Ghost!!
JT Yorke ran a hand through his wavy locks of brown hair and looked torwards the door of the next room as he spoke into his cell phone. " L...Liberty? Um...wha...what is it?" he asked stumbling over his words.
It was so strange for her to call him iin his opinion. After all they had gotten in a fight today over his idea of adding a daycare center to the school. He heard her sigh into the phone and hesitate a moment before speaking."JT,listen. I didn't mean to be so hateful about your idea for a daycare center in the school. It was actually a very good idea."
A confused look appeared on JT's faceas he looked back at the other doorway to make sure Mia wasn't walking out. "Then why did you act like that? I mean if you actually liked the idea why didn't you say so?"
"Because JT...your doing it for Mia...and your acting like her daughter is yours." Then the phone line went dead and he was left to think about what Liberty had just said.
What did she mean when she had said that? He had done it for Mia after he saw how hard it was for a single teenage mother having to take care of her child and be in school. But why would that bother Liberty?
Suddenly Mia walked into the living room carrying her daughter, his grandma behind her.
"Hey,Mia,Hey Bella are you two ready to go to the park?" He asked taking Isabella from her mother's arms,tickling her side and tummy and kissing her cheek. She giggled and wrapped plump little arms around his neck and kissing him on his cheek. " I wove wu JT." she said not letting go of him.
JT looked at her and smiled,pushing her silken strands of dark hair out of her face and said, "I'll be home around eight grandma. Love you." He said kissing his grandma's wrinkled cheek and taking Mia's hand in his as they walked out the door.
As he and Mia walked around the park,with him holding Isabella,thoughts of what Liberty said ran through his mind. Shaking his head he set Bella down on her little feet and took her hand. "Come on Bella. Let'd go on the slide!" He said,smiling.
Laughing Mia got out her video camera and taped the two going down the slide and running around the park after that the three sat down on the ground and began eating the ham and cheese sandwiches that Grandma Yorke and Mia had prepared.
Suddenly Mia looked up,tilted her head to the side and said,"JT?" in a questioning tone.
"Yeah?" he asked,swallowing a bit of sandwich.
"Do you...do you ever wish that Liberty hadn't put your son up for adoption last year?" she asked looking at him questionly with big brown eyes.
JT was quiet for a moment as his long fingers traced patterns on the blanket they lay on. Then he looked up. "Yeah I do. I mean when I saw my son for the first and last time I couldn't even hold him. I was afraid I would get too attached and then we would give him up...but I already became too attached. I wonder if his adoptive parents take good care of him..you know and if he's happy." he told her softly.
Mia through her arms around his neck and said,"You would have made a wonderful father!! I can see it in how you are with Bella!!"
JT hugged her back placing a kiss to the top of her head. and smiling as Bella crawled over,stood up and reached for him with her little hands. Laughing he pulled away from Mia to pick up Bella again.
