Still dont own Crossing Jordan... please enjoy and review!
Two months went by without any word from Jordan. Everyone was so worried for her safety.
One day, Jordan decided that it was time to go home. Everyone was shocked to see her turn up at work. Lily and everyone crowded around her. Lily hugged her. Jordan's belly was starting to show now that she was 4 months pregnant.
"You back for good?" Garret asked.
Jordan nodded. "I just had to get my head around this" Jordan said referring to her pregnancy as she placed her hand on her belly.
"How's the morning sickness, love?"
"Not too bad. It was bad at one point though"
Jordan was lucky that Woody was on a vacation for another 8 weeks.
At 5 months, Jordan went to her prenatal appointment. Lily went with her for support.
The OB was doing the ultrasound.
"Well, Jordan, everything looks good. Wanna know the sex? I have a good angle here"
Jordan nodded.
"You're having a…..girl"
"Wow, a girl" Jordan replied in a cheery voice with a huge smile on her face.
[3 Weeks Later
Jordan is now 6 months pregnant. Woody is back and heard that Jordan was back, but didn't know that she was pregnant.
Jordan was sitting at her desk in her office doing paperwork, when Woody knocked on the open door.
"Hey Jordan"
"Hey Woody" Jordan replied as she stood up.
Woody turned his gaze to her rounded 6 month pregnant belly and stared for what seemed like hours.
"You're……pregnant?" Woody asked in shock.
Jordan nodded. "Yes. 25 weeks"
"Am I….?"
"The father? Yes you are, Woody"
"Shit" Woody muttered before turning around and running off.
"Woody!!"
Jordan sat back down, put her head in her hands and cried. Lily overheard that commotion and came running and walked over to Jordan before squatting down in front of her and putting a hand on her knee.
"It's ok, Jordan. Don't worry about him" Lily whispered caressing Jordan's arm.
"But he's the father of my child" Jordan cried.
"I know. Hopefully, he'll come around"
Jordan put her hand on her belly. "Oh"
"What's wrong?" Lily asked panicking thinking something was wrong with Jordan and/or the baby.
Jordan took Lily's hand and placed it on her stomach where the baby was moving.
"The baby's moving"
"Wow! She's really active. Is she always like this?"
"Yeah, mainly at night, when I'm trying to sleep"
"That must make it hard to sleep"
"Not really. It makes it easier, cos I know that she's alright in there" Jordan replied now smiling.
[1 Month Later
Now Jordan is 7 months pregnant, Garret has pulled her off field work and is forbidden to go in to autopsy. Jordan tried to fight it.
"Garret, why can't I go in to autopsy? I'm fine"
"Yes, you are fine. But you are also heavily pregnant, and if you work too hard, you could go in to pre- term labour. So only office work for you and that's final"
Jordan sighed. "Fine"
"Jordan, it's for your's and the baby's own good"
"I know" Jordan sighed before walking into her office and locking the door behind her.
She was upset because she still hadn't heard form Max or Woody. Max didn't even know he was going to be a grandfather, where as Woody know that's he's going to be a father but he chooses to ignore the fact and her.
[5 Weeks Later
The baby is due in 2 weeks. There's a bad snow storm outside, so they are snowed in at work for the night.
Time: 10.16pm
Jordan is sitting in her office at her desk doing paperwork, when a contraction took over her body. When it was over, she walked over to her door and locked it. She tried to quieten her cries, so not to draw attention, but to no avail. Lily was walking to her office to talk to her, she tried to open the door, only to find it locked. She pounded on the door.
"Jordan, please let me in"
Jordan ignored Lily's calls. Garret overhearing the commotion, came walking over, to find out what was going on.
"Goddamn it, Jordan! Open the damn door!"
When Jordan finally opened the door, a contraction hit and she almost doubled over in pain.
"Jordan? How far apart are the contractions?"
"About 10 minutes. It's ok, I've only had 2"
"Has your water broken yet?"
Jordan shook her head as she sat on the couch.
"Garret, you can go back to what you were doing. I'll stay with Jordan"
"Ok. If you need me, come get me" Garret replied then walked off.
Lily helped Jordan through the contractions.
Time-2.37am
Jordan's contractions are now 5 minutes apart. She is leaning against the wall, with Lily rubbing the small of her back, when a contraction hit. Jordan screamed, just as her water broke.
"Oh shit! I need some fucking drugs" Jordan screamed in pain.
Garret, Nigel and Bug came running in. Lily noticed them at the door as Jordan kept breathing through the contraction.
"She's getting there. It won't be long now" Lily informed Garret.
"Shit. The ambulance can't get here. It's still snowing really bad outside. How close are the contractions?"
"Five minutes and her water just broke"
"Ok. Nigel, get something soft and warm like a blanket and lots of gauze. Bug, get a pair of scissors and something to clamp off the cord. Also something to clean out the baby's nose and mouth"
Nigel and Bug nodded then ran off to collect the items, as Garret walked over to Jordan.
"Come on, Jordan. Lay on the couch and spread your legs, so I can check how close you are"
Lily and Garret helped Jordan to the couch and she laid down. But she refused to spread her legs.
"I don't feel comfortable with you looking down there" Jordan panted as she breathed through another contraction.
"Jordan, think about the baby. You want her to be born safely don't you?"
Jordan nodded before Lily helped her out of her maternity pants and undies. She spread her legs as Lily covered Jordan's bottom half with the blanket on the back of the couch and Garret put on a pair of gloves that Nigel had grabbed for him earlier.
Garret checked how dilated she was.
"Jordan, you're 9 centimetres"
"I need some fucking drugs!" Jordan screamed as another painful contraction took over her body.
"Another one already? Lily asked.
Jordan nodded as she tried to keep her breathing under control through the pain.
"They're 2 minutes apart now, Garret."
"Yep, that's because she's close to delivering"
After 2 minutes another contraction hit. Jordan screamed as she held on to her belly and started crying. The pain was starting to be too much for her.
"Oh god!! Help me! I can't take this much longer!" Jordan screamed in pain.
Lily held Jordan's hand and caressed her cheek.
"It's ok, Jordan. Not much longer"
[Half an Hour Later
Garret checked Jordan again. Nigel and Bug had brought in the item needed. They were ready for Jordan to deliver since they know they couldn't stop it.
"Ok, Jordan. Push"
Jordan screamed and pushed. "Ahhh!"
"Good job. Again"
Jordan pushed with the next contraction.
"Owww! It hurts so much!" Jordan cried between contractions.
"Keep going, Jordan" Garret encouraged.
"I can't!" Jordan cried out in pain as she tried her hardest to push.
"Yes, you can. You're so strong and you're doing so well" Lily finally spoke encouraging Jordan as she rubbed the small of Jordan's back. Jordan was sitting up on the couch now, to make it easier to push.
"Ok, Jordan. I can see the head"
Jordan screamed as she pushed. "Ow! God damn it! I'm never having sex again".
Nigel and Bug tried not to laugh in the corner, at what Jordan had just screamed.
"What the fuck are you two laughing at?" Jordan spoke angrily at them through gritted teeth as she continued to push.
Garret looked up at them. "Jordan is in a lot of pain and you two over there are laughing. Get Out!" Garret shouted at them, then back to Jordan.
Nigel and Bug said sorry to Jordan as they walked out.
"The head is crowning"
"Arghh" Jordan cried and pushed.
It was really starting to get too much for her, she was exhausted. She hadn't had a good night's sleep in a while, due to the fact she couldn't get comfortable.
"Good job, the head is out. Just this last little bit, Jordan. Push gently for 10 seconds"
Jordan did as she was told.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" Lily counted as Jordan pushed and Garret guided the baby out.
The room was then filled with the newborn's cries.
"Say hello to your daughter, Jordan" Garret said as he placed the tiny baby on Jordan's stomach.
Nigel and Bug came back in when they heard the baby crying, announcing her presence.
"Wow. My little girl is finally here" Jordan panted still out of breath, through her tears of happiness.
"Ok, Jordan. Just got to get this placenta out, so just push gently"
Jordan nodded as Lily took the baby to clean her up and Jordan gently pushed the placenta out.
Jordan was so exhausted that she fell asleep before Lily returned with the baby.
Lily returned with the baby in her arms to see Jordan fast asleep. Garret saw her enter. "Let her sleep, she's exhausted. We'll take care of her for a while" Garret whispered as they walked out.
