I'm changing the rating to T 'cause well... I want to :P um... I have this camp next weekend so I might not be able to update this as quickly so I'm adding another chapter before I go to bed :D Don't own anything except the plot :'( Oh and thanks to Esmerelda Diana Parker for your review. That little conversation between you and Sarah made me lol... and question what the hell I'm doing keeping Becker and Jess 'apart' :P
I couldn't help but add the little Conby part at the beginning, it kinda has it's purpose in a way and I really should stop talking...
Here's chapter 6... I think it's 6... yeah it's 6
Enjoy :D
"Connor... I'm pregnant." Abby announced as she came out of the bathroom.
"You're what?" Connor began choking on his piece of toast, staring wide-eyed at his girlfriend. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Connor asked himself as he watched Abby walking towards him.
A smile curved at the corners of her lips and her face seemed to brighten up. She laughed. "I'm pregnant!" her smile vanished suddenly. "Oh god, I'm pregnant. I'm not ready to be pregnant. We're not even married!"
"Marry me then." Connor blurted out. Abby stared at him shocked as he reached into the pocket of his jacket and brought out a small black satin box and laid it on the bench in front of her.
"No."
"No?" Connor frowned in confusion. "Why no?"
Abby pushed the box back towards him and smiled. "Do it properly. Surprise me"
"How am I meant to surprise you if you already know about it?"
"it has to be special... there is no way I'm telling people that you proposed to me in Jess' kitchen without even getting down on one knee." she turned to leave just as their phones beeped signalling an anomoly.
"Abby..."
"Come on" she sighed. "Let's hope this anomoly is worth the interruption."
"Eh! It's on me! Get it off! Becker get it off!"
Becker leaned against the tree with a girn on his face as he watched Jess stumble around, trying to swat of something that wasn't even on her. Truth was, the insect, or whatever it was, hadn't even landed on her in the first place. He only said he could see something on the back of her shirt just to entertain himself.
Becker couldn't hold it in any longer. He burst out laughing and Jess stopped moving, glaring at him. "You idiot!" Jess pushed him weakly but he still stumbled slightly, trying hard to control his amusment.
"You should have seen your face..." he laughed harder while trying to imitate her. "...Priceless!"
"Idiot!" Jess pushed him again and suddenly found herself falling to the ground with a thud as she hit the tree behind her. "...Ow"
Becker stopped laughing and knelt down beside her. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Jess brushed of the fact that Becker's hand was on her arm as he helped her find her feet. Thankfully she hadn't hit the tree as hard as she thought she would, her back and tailbone still hurt though. "I'm still angry with you..." she mumbled quietly.
He laughed lightly. "You sure you're okay? You didn't hit your head or anything but you did fall into a tree..." he was trying his best not to burst out laughing again.
Jess smoothed down her hair and fixed her clothing back to normal after it had twisted around her slightly. A sharp pain shot up Jess' leg and she grimaced.
"woaw steady there..." Becker caught her before she fell over. Jess tried to regain her balance on her good foot but even that hurt a bit. Becker gently sat her down on the grass and spoke lightly "let me have a look at it."
"It's just a sprained ankle" Jess flinched as he lifted the end of her jeans to get a better look at her ankle. "See... I just twisted it- ouch!"
"Sorry." Becker appologised. He reached into the bag beside him and got out the mini medical kit and began bandaging her foot up. He sighed again. It was hit fault she was hurt. She wouldn't have fallen over and hurt herself if he hadn't made her push him. What can I tell her that could make up for this? Becker thought as he sat back and admired his handy work.
"My first name is Hilary..." he said quietly. He didn't think she had heard him, but the quiet giggle that came out of her proved she had.
"I know."
Becker looked up at her face with a frown creasing his forehead. "How did you-"
Jess laughed. "I've read everyone's file Hilary." Jess grinned widely as she finally got her payback although the subject came out of nowhere.
"Wait if you've known my name since you started... why didn't you tell the others? Gosh if Connor found out he would have given me hell!"
Jess sighed. "That's exactly the reason why I didn't tell anyone" Her face scrunched up as she moved her foot slightly. "Besides I think Lester changed the file names just after i'd read them all so they're all like H. Becker and J. Parker and stuff like that now.
Becker leaned back against a nearby tree and watched Jess moving around her foot. "That's good to hear."
"Still..." She laughed. "Hilary is a very interesting name."
"Call me that again and I'll..." Becker's voice trailed off as something glowing in the trees behind Jess caught his attention. "I think we've just found our ticket back home!" he exclaimed, jumping to his feet and helping a stunned Jess to her feet.
The glowing grew bigger as they got closer and closer. Jess was so happy about the open anomoly that it gave her no room to think about her throbbing ankle.
The two of them froze in front of the glowing ball of light. Jess' heart dropped. "What if it leads to somewhere like the cretaceous or even the future?"
Becker's arm around Jess' waist tightened slightly making her shiver. "We can handle it."
Jess wrapped her arms around his neck suddenly and laughed. Becker was stunned at first but quickly returned the hug before they both turned back towards the anomoly.
"Okay..." Jess grinned up at Becker. "let's go home!"
Yeah I don't think I'll be ending it there... I have a very confusing plan for those two (well it's confusing me) :D Lets just say something gets split in two...
