How Will Things Fare?
After 2 years of marriage to Matt Morgan 22 year old Rachel Morgan finds herself pregnant...but Morgan's NOT the father...
A/N I've been wanting to write something for a while, something particularly Joe/Rachel based because I love them so much! I've tried writing multi-chaptered stories before but have always failed as inspiration has never followed through, however I think that this just might be the one where I can say Fin.
Disclaimer: Not mine, everything belongs to the fabulous Ally Carter who wrote the amazing Gallagher Girls books.
Washington DC- Present Time
Rachel stared at the blue line on the white stick and swore...loudly. Groaning she chucked it on the bathroom tiles with the other 7 that she'd already used and began tearing open a new pack. A few minutes later she did the same with the 8th as the stupid blue line continued to stare at her. It was the last one, and now as she slid down onto the floor tears began to spring from her eyes.
"Bloody Lousy cover, Stupid THING. STUPID MEN!" She ranted.
She was 100% pregnant, or at least 99.9% as the packets has suggested, which made everything worse.
How was she? A CIA agent supposed to work if she was pregnant? The questions swarmed her mind in an act of stopping herself from thinking about the most pressing matter at mind...the father. She was married to Mathew Morgan, had been for 2 years and she had the ring to prove it, if she was pregnant it was bound to be his...wasn't it? Rachel nodded, If 'hypothetically' she was pregnant it must be Matt's, but it was she must be 4 months along as that was the last time they had been together 'together'. There hadn't been a moment long enough in those months apart that would have caused such consequences except Cairo...with Solomon. And it had only been ONE occasion brought on because the mission had made them become a married couple honeymooning incidentally, next door to an illegal drug smuggling cell.
Rachel swore again. "Damn you Joe."
Joseph Solomon was the hot best friend of her husbands who happened to be her partner on occasion, he was NOT supposed to be the father of her 'child'. This was the story of the adulterous woman that happened in the magazines, not to Rachel Morgan, the ambitious CIA agent.
More tears flooded her flawless face and Rachel sobbed because everything she'd ever worked for had fallen all because of a small blue line...
Cairo- 2 Months Ago
The heat was unbearable and on top of that Rachel 'Carter' was frustrated, sweaty and thirsty, not a fantastic combination for anyone and particularly not for her.
"Rach, here's some water." Joe said, passing her a bottle of water.
"I am NOT drinking that, the water is hot as it is in here." Rachel told him, careful to not to raise her voice.
They were supposed to be a honeymooning couple, deeply in love, not a couple constantly shouting at each other.
"Fine then, go thirsty." Responded Joe.
With that, he opened the bottle and gulped the whole bottle in front of her. Rachel watched opened mouthed, and without thinking leapt like a cat onto the bed and on top of Joe, straddling him and pushing him backwards onto it whilst yanking the bottle from his mouth.
"I was going to drink that." She angrily told hm.
Joe just smirked, he loved it when she got angry. Rachel just frowned at him and proceeded to drink the remaining few centimetres of water left.
"What's so funny Solomon?"
"It's Carter honey," Joe whispered.
Rachel continued to frown and snarled at him. She was hot and bothered, she was allowed to slip up...
"You know...I know one way that'll make you less bothered." He whispered. "And it'll make our cover more believable."
"And what's that sweetie?" Rachel smiled, but Joe didn't respond, instead he flipped them over so he was on top and began attacking her lips with his; it didn't take long for Rachel to comply.
Athens- Present Time
Mathew Morgan stood at the top of the hill and looked over at the mesmerising view of Athens, the sun was begging to set and the orange glow that tinged the horizon was beautiful. He stared at it for a few moments before two arms slipped around his waist and few faint kisses were placed on neck.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" The woman whispered seductively.
"Not as much as you," he responded, turning around to face her.
The woman smirked and proceeded to kiss his mouth and Matt responded eagerly. It was only a while later, when air became a necessity did the two part panting.
"I think." The woman said in between pants "We should. Take this inside."
Matt smirked and kissed her once more before picking her up and carrying her back inside the house.
" I agree." He murmured faintly
An hour later, the two lay on the bed, sweating and smirking wrapped in the sheets smiling at each other.
It was her almost inaudible whisper of "I love you," that caused Matt to tell her:
"Goode, you honestly are amazing..."
A/N Bet you weren't expecting that! Remember Reviews make me happy! Also I have promised to finish this, however exams are upon us and that will take first priority so perhaps a chapter once a week...
