Just a Little Piece of Joy

Disclaimer: Flashpoint and all its characters don't belong to me.

A/N Hi, my second try on Flashpoint fiction. I'm continuing with the story about Joy, so you should probably read Joy Within first, because you would be a little lost.

Lou is still alive in this story, I haven't figure out Lea yet, so I can't put her in this story.

It takes place couple of months after my first story.

Joycelyn sat on the floor in the bathroom, she stared at the locked doors like she expected shiny spot 'JOKE' to appear on them. When nothing happened she looked back on the stick. The blue '+' was still there. She was pregnant.

How the hell could this happen???? OK, she knew the 'HOW' but the why was huge mystery. She should know better and take special precaution. She knew she was sick while drinking and she knew that throwing up after taking birth control pill wasn't the best idea. BUT WHY??? Why her. They were such happy couple with Spike and this will just complicate everything.

Carefully hiding the stick and every part of the pregnancy test she got out of the bathroom. She knew she would have to tell Spike, but now she needed friend. She pushed 3 on her speed dial.

Jules waited outside 'Guys' changing room. Since she was officially dating Sam, he didn't appreciate her spying on other guys. And of course her new team members didn't appreciate her in their locker room neither. Her new team members.... She just survived long night shift. She wanted nothing more than lost herself in Sam's embrace and forget about everything. She was exhausted and new guys wouldn't make her job any easier. They respected her in some way but her being new, being girl and being in charge, it was too much for them to digest. She had to push them hard, but she had to push herself even harder.

Finally Sam came out of the locker room and kissed Jules welcome and goodbye as well. His shift was just about to start.

"You look like hell" he welcomed her.

"Thanks, every girl wishes to hear that" she mumbled into his chest. He kissed her on the top of the head.

"Wanna talk about it??" he offered.

"Not here" her new team members were just getting out and she definitely didn't want them to see her like that with Sam. He looked worriedly at her but she was saved but her phone.

She checked the number.

"It's your sister, I'll rather pick it up. Bye and good shift" she wished and friendly waved to Spike who she just passed on the corridor. She would gladly pull one more shift if it meant going back to Team One.

When she was out of hear she finally picked up the phone.

"Morning, Joy, you are up quite early" Jules knew that her friend liked sleep longer while she can and today was her day off.

"Jules, I'm pregnant" she let that out just like that, with no warning. Jules froze on the spot. She turned back and watched Spike seating down next to Lou in the conference room. They were all smiling and she was sure Spike was the one to make stupid jokes.

"You are what??" it was so weird, to imagine Spike as a father.

"I've so screwed up" Joy was crying, it was still from the shock, but she was also scared of everyone reaction.

"Hey, Joy, it usually takes two people to get to situation like this, so you should deal with it like a couple as well"

"But I'm the one on the pills...what will I tell him??"

Jules wanted nothing more than go home, have a hot shower and then sleep through the whole day. She had another night shift in front of her. But her friend needed her.

"Joy, hang in there, I'm just on my way out. I'll stop at your place and we can talk in person. It is going to be OK" she assured.

"Thanks"

.oOo.

In half an hour Jules parked in front of Sam's old place. When he moved in with Jules he left this place for his sister and Spike. Jules smiled at all memories linked to this place, but now there was another pressuring issue in her head right now.

Joy welcomed her friend with coffee and breakfast.

"I'm so sorry, I know you are on night shifts, but..."

"Don't even mention it, this is what friends are for" Jules interrupted Joy's apology. When she saw her she knew she did the right thing. She had never seen her like this. Joy was always a happy person. When something upset her, she'd get angry, mad, restless, but never sad and scared. Jules didn't fully understand why she was so scared.

"I know I'm acting out, but I don't know how will Spike react. We are not together for long, just five months, and now this...He will think I'm irresponsible......that I'm not worth it"

"Whatever he thinks, I'm sure if he decides you are....you both are not worth it then he is such a pathetic looser I won't be able to call him friend any longer."

"You really think that??" Joy was slowly getting calmer. Sharing her fears with someone made them less real and she was starting to look at this whole matter in more rational way.

"It's not like you did it on purpose" Jules guessed. "It happened and you are both adults, you can deal with that"

On Joy's face slowly appeared dreamy smile "Can you imagine the little one, it will play with explosives before even going to kindergarten."

Jules smiled at that idea but Joy change her expression to more realistic one.

"And if Spike won't decide to go with it....it's not like I can't take care of my child alone..." From that moment Jules knew that whatever will happened, Joy will always be there for this little one, that she will do anything to make this child the happiest one in the world. She hugged her.

"It's not like you would be alone".

So, it is just a beginning, to be honest, I'm not exactly sure where the story will take me. Just read and we will see :-)

There will be Sam/Jules and Spike/Joy all the way, but of course the whole team as well.
