It's very short, but it will be worth it... I hope... This is part one of three in my Jecker fanfic... Please read and review!
Jess scrambled about in the apartment, half dressed, trying to gather all the things she needed. She needed to be into work early to run a new communications program she had written these past couple weeks. The goal of the program was to allow for intercommunication between all the systems in the ARC, so that they'd have a better server for all the computers to be able to access programs and files on any other computer in the ARC. It would expand on the already existing ADD, and she and Connor had worked very hard in writing it.
Jess quickly ran over to grab her toast, which had just popped. She shoved it in her mouth and darted into the bedroom. She quickly threw on a nice blouse and wrestled into a knee-length skirt. She slipped on a pair of heels and drew her hair into a ponytail.
Jess shuffled into the kitchen, swallowing the last bit of her toast, and grabbed everything she needed. Becker was sitting at the table, drinking his coffee and reading a novel. He wore gray flannel pajama pants and a tight black shirt. "I still don't understand why you don't just come in early with me," She said to him. He slowly lowered his book onto the table and answered, "Why would I want a hectic morning like yours? I'd much rather read my book." He gave a small smile and took a bite of his eggs. "I like that skirt," He commented. He quietly cursed. Becker was slowly becoming domestic, something he never thought possible.
"Yes, it's new... We'll have to go shopping again, these skirts are getting a bit tight! Abby said she knows of a place with great maternity clothing, the kind with the elastic waistbands..." Jess said. She moved over to Becker and gave him a kiss. He was upset, Becker had never liked shopping; the shopping centres were too chaotic, and he was always worried something might happen to Jess. Also, he noticed that when Jess went into the stores, he was always left in the centre of the mall, waiting with bags all up his arms. There was always a good amount of housewives gathered around him also. He normally happily ignored them, and he enjoyed the looks on their faces when Jess came out. Disappointment was the look that usually flushed across the womens' faces, he was taken.
"Plus, I think we can get you a few new dresses," Jess said with a smile across her face. Becker didn't hear what Jess said until after he had nodded in agreement, and when he finally did realize it his eyes shot up. He smiled at Jess as he realized she was joking with him. "You might even be able to fit in some of mine, seeing as I no longer can..." Jess said as she draped a hand lightly on her growing stomach. Becker looked over at the size of her and frowned. She was about three months in and wasn't quite as large as she believed herself to be. Becker thought she looked better than ever like this.
Jess squeaked as she caught sight of the time, "Oh! I'm going to be so late! I told Connor I'd meet him there early!"
As Jess ran out the door, Becker went back to his food. It wasn't until about five minutes after Jess had left that he noticed she had forgotten her bag of papers. Becker grabbed it and ran out the flat, trying to catch Jess before she left.
As he ran out into the car park, he heard the familiar metallic sound of an Anomaly. "No..." he murmured. Becker felt his pocket vibrate. He snapped out of the stupor and almost didn't catch it. He flicked out his mobile and answered Connor's call.
"Hey, Cap! There's an Anomaly, and Jess isn't in yet... So I'm Alerting the team! Just like old times!" Connor said. Becker cursed and turned around nervously, searching the area for any sign of a creature, or more importantly, Jess.
"Yeah, I know Connor... I'm standing right in front of it. The Anomaly opened in the car park attached to my flat unit. It doesn't look like there's any creature loose, but Jess is gone," Becker said in a frustrated tone. The level of hysteria in his voice was raising as the various possibilities of what could have happened raced through his mind.
He could hear Connor scrambling about on the other line, barking orders and the employees at the ARC. Becker scanned the car park again, and he noticed skid marks running all the way down the ramp, ending just under the Anomaly. "Bloody hell, Jess!" He remarked furiously. "I think she's gone through, Con. Get everyone down here. Now!" Becker said, already hurrying back towards his flat, he had a few EMDs in the boot of his truck.
"Abby's at home with Sarah, she's home from school sick, but I can get Danny over here! Matt and Emily are already on their way," Connor informed him. Becker heard a click on the other side and shoved his phone back in his pocket. He ran into the flat and snatched his keys off the hook before slamming the door behind him on his way back to the Anomaly.
Oh no! What will happen? Please review!
