Chapter one
Date: Wednesday, 15th of March 2010, 15h25
Location: Anomaly Research Centre, London, UK
Smiling Jenny glanced down at the slender silver ring that graced her hand. She and Nick were happily married for half a year now, which in itself was amazing. The wedding had been perfect, even though they had all expected the worst. They had feared that an anomaly would suddenly turn up, most likely in some populated area knowing their luck with that; or even worse that Helen would somehow spoil the day. So, expecting an attack, Captain Becker had a whole wagon-load of Special Forces outside, scanning the territory, making sure no one could disrupt the wedding. Which was kept quite small and simple, Nick accepting Jenny's wishes there. But he had only very reluctantly agreed to that, knowing that Jenny had always dreamed of a big wedding, he just wanted to give the woman he loved the perfect day, though he wasn't one for big weddings.
But due to the fact that neither of them had any close relatives, they had finally agreed that it should be just them and the ARC-team. The service at the church had been absolutely beautiful, with Connor being Nick's best man (The boy had worn a suit that day, accompanied by his fingerless gloves, hilarious combo) and Abby with Sarah being Jenny's brides-maiden. It was small, yes, but it had been wonderful. Mostly due to the fact that it had been very few guests and the team had become more than just friends to them.
So bottom line, it had been the perfect wedding to Jenny and it still was now, which she remembered every time she looked at the gleaming silver at her hand.
And as Jenny stood and watched her husband talk to Connor whilst sitting at the ADD; she just couldn't escape the feeling of perfection spreading throughout her entire body. This day was special, it was worthy of remembrance; she kept thinking that as she touched her belly lovingly. She would tell Nick tonight, after they had headed home and left all the weird things behind for the night; and if Jenny was true to herself, she couldn't wait for it. Almost she wished the sun to hurry towards the west, making the time pass more quickly, so that the moment would come earlier.
But before that she had to talk to Abby for guidance on how to tell Nick.
For Jennifer Cutter was pregnant.
Jenny found the soon to be Mrs. Connor Temple (Connor had proposed three months ago and they were right in the middle of planning the wedding) in her lab surrounded by her strange prehistoric plants, watering them. But ever so often the young woman would stop and scribble something down on a paper.
Smiling Jenny stepped closer and after gaining Abby's attention properly, she dropped the bomb, which resulted only in happy shouts and lots of hugs, followed by loads of questions and congratulations. At length the woman composed herself and sat down at one of the lab tables, forgetting her plans and worries and plants for a bit, while they sat and talked.
And though Jenny was sure that Nick would freak out due to pure joy (he loved children, he just never admitted it to her); she wasn't sure how to spread the news to him. That certainly was nothing for casual talk, it was serious and Jenny never was very good at talking about serious things, she even was a little frightened about it.
But Abby took all her concerns and threw them away as she began asking stuff about the baby like whether it was a boy or a girl (which Jenny couldn't answer because she had no idea) or what names she would choose for her or him. She even hoped that the child would inherit Nick's blue eyes and her looks, and to be honest, that would look extremely cute.
The two women continued talking for about half an hour, until the blaring of the anomaly alert echoed through the halls and corridors of the ARC.
Grumbling Jenny followed Abby to the main room, where they found the rest of the team already assembled and Connor hacking on his keyboard to get the exact coordinates of the anomaly.
"Ok, guys, it's in the Forest of Dean." He announced with a quick unsure glance towards Nick, who moved instantly and without further words to the hallway to get to the cars. Yet Jenny had caught the sidelong glance he had shot to her, apparently, the Forest of Dean was a location he had bad memories with.
Great, now we'll spend the rest of the day and possibly the night with chasing some creature through the woods…
She thought of it as she followed her husband and climbed into the Hilux with him. Then the announcement of pregnancy would have to wait until the next day.
Little did Jenny know that there would be no day left to tell her beloved husband.
ok, so its a little short, and I'm not entirely satisfied with it, but I hope you like it nonetheless. Next chappie will be up soon!
Tell me what you think of it, yu know me, I love Reviews!
