John yawned mightily as he slowly awakened but kept his eyes shut. Mmmmm last night was perfect, and he wished he could stay in the bed forever. But most likely they would have a new number like usual they never stopped coming in, but maybe just a quickie before they both had to get back to the real world. He patted next to him, and his eyes snapped open when he felt the bed cold beside him. John looked around, and saw Joss standing in a hotel supplied robe staring out the window near the useless television.

"Hey Joss you okay?" he called out, but she seemed to be so deep in thought she didn't hear him. She stared out the window, and didn't even blink in acknowledgment. John slowly pushed the covers off his body pausing to slip on his boxers before making his way over to her. "Joss honey what's wrong?" he whispered wrapping his arms from around her back, and nuzzling her neck. Joss jumped when he touched her obviously not hearing him the second time nor hearing him make his way over.

"You scared me." she chuckled grabbing at her heart as she leaned back into him.

"A penny for your thoughts?"

"A penny really my thoughts are worth only a penny to you John?" he grinned against her neck. "I, however, don't need a penny to know what's on your mind John I can feel it pressing against me right now." she huffed before he slowly turned her around in his arms. She wrapped her arms loosely around his neck, but kept her eyes drawn towards the floor.

"You didn't answer my question Joss." he reminded, and she nodded smiling a little.

"Its nothing John I'm fine." He lifted her chin forcing her to look him in the eyes, and saw something swimming in her brown depths.

"Whatever it is its not nothing." but she shook her head, and smiled a little.

"Really John I'm fine." she lifted up, and kissed him lightly. "Oh, and tonight I want you to meet my best friend Frankie. He's only in town for a few more days, and I don't know if he will ever get back here in New York."

"What if I have a new person to look into?"

"Finch, and Fusco will have to handle it until our dinner is over." she said in a don't argue with me on this tone. "Please John I really want you to meet him, and Taylor will be there."

"Okay if we have a new person to save I will try to work things out."

"Good." she smiled quickly kissing him chastely before backpedaling out of his arms.

"Hey come back here I have probably about twenty minutes before Finch forms a search party for me. I want to spend them in bed with you."

"Down boy you might have twenty minutes but I only have ten to get some clothing, a shower, and head to the precinct." she chuckled throwing the robe off of her tempting him with her sexy nude body to just cover herself with the discarded jacket from the floor. She blew him a kiss grabbing her purse, and the big brown bag of good stuff. "See you later John, and don't be late."

"What time do you want me there?"

"Seven. Now I got to go." she hurried to run out of the hotel room. He didn't fully believe her that nothing was on her mind, and he was worried he had done something to hurt her last night. Joss seemed to be alright, but there was something weighing on her mind which he couldn't figure out. He quickly began redressing deciding maybe he could get to her place to see if he could get Joss to tell him what was bothering her. John was checked out of the hotel in a matter of minutes after Joss had left, and he had no mode of transportation which really put a crimp in his plans on ambushing her at her place. He waited till a taxi drove by and flagged him down. He climbed inside, and gave Joss's address.

"If you can get me there in say five minutes I'll give you a hundred dollar tip." the taxi driver's eyes lit up, and John's head snapped back a little at how fast the man sped up as he stomped down on the gas pedal. Nearly ten minutes gone by when he was at her complex, but he gave the man the tip since it wasn't his fault there was traffic everywhere. John ran almost up to her building when another man met him near the front entrance of her apartment complex. He was going to walk by him when he heard an audible gasp from the man.

"Oh my goodness Jocelyn was right you are more gorgeous in person than in your photograph which is saying a lot since you are very photogenic." John paused from hurrying inside to go speak with Joss, and eyed the black man dressed to the nines.

"Um who are you?"

"I'm Jocelyn's BFF Frankie, but you can call me anything you like." John just looked at him because he had no response to that. "Craig is going to be so jealous that I met you but my girl has some fine tastes." Frankie eyed him from head to toe. "Nice suit, you're hot, and you seem kind." John was sure he hadn't heard many people call him kind. "Just treat my girl right, and we won't have problems."

"I love her, and I wouldn't ever willingly hurt her." he was a bit afraid he had unintentionally hurt her because she seemed upset or nervous about something. Anger he could handle but if he hurt her…John felt ill inside at the mere thought of causing her any pain.

"Look hot stuff I was on my way to speak to Joss myself, but I need to know something first."

"What?" he demanded needing to see her himself, but by the incessant buzzing of his phone since he hadn't placed his ear piece in his ear was any indication they had a new number. He didn't have much more time before he needed to head to the library.

"Did she tell you?"

"Tell me?" tell him what? Oh right the dinner he had almost completely forgotten about it. "Oh yeah she told me."

"So?"

"So what?"

"Are you panicked?"

"Panicked? No." John smiled lightly. He was glad Joss had such a close best friend even if he was a man, and that she wanted them to meet. But clearly this Frankie thought he was worried about their dinner tonight which he wasn't. The man seemed nice enough even if the man seemed a little odd, and Taylor was a good kid whom he had several conversations with since starting to date his mom. So no he wasn't panicked about their dinner tonight.

"Really? Joss was worried you wouldn't take it so well."

"I'm fine with it we can have as many of them as she wants." he assured Joss's gay best friend. He didn't care as long as the dinners included spending time with her he didn't care who else was involved. He just wanted her to himself sometimes too.

"Well you're taking it a lot better than I thought, but it must be because you love Jocelyn so much. Plus its always fun making them too am I right?" the man put his hands in his pockets, and John felt a little confused. They were talking about the same thing right? But John couldn't ignore the buzzing from his phone anymore, and he guessed speaking to Joss would have to wait till after this dinner.

"I have to go I guess I'll have to speak with Joss later. It was nice meeting you Frankie you are a great friend to Joss she cares about you a lot."

"Thanks but its easy being her friend, and hot stuff see you later tonight." John smiled, and turned to hurry away trying to put aside his feelings that something wasn't quite right with Joss to the side. He needed to flag down another taxi, and find out what Finch needed.


Joss felt so many emotions, and everything was going so fast her mind was having a hard time keeping up. First thing she had to do was sit John down, and tell him she was pregnant. Pregnant with his child, and she grinned like an idiot as she stepped out of the shower. She touched her stomach as she had last night eyeing John while he slept, and cried happy tears. Tears swam in her eyes even as panic bubbled up inside her still since she wasn't quite sure if John was going to even want this child. Joss exited her bathroom, and sighed when she heard a knock. Joss secured a silky lavender colored robe on her, and ran towards the door yanking it open. Her smile widened when she realized it wasn't John, but Frankie. She had tried to escape from the hotel earlier without John figuring things out for himself, and before she just blurted it out to him before she had a chance to set the mood for him. She wanted it at her place, and maybe they could make love again then while he was relaxed she would spring it on him.

"Hey Frankie come on in."

"I'm hurt Jocelyn you told him, and then you don't bother calling me to tell me he's okay with it some best friend you are." he chuckled as he entered her apartment. She looked at him after he shut the door.

"What do you mean?"

"I ran into John outside leading up to your apartment."

"What? John was here?"

"Yeah, and he's a babe with a nice butt. Ugh if I wasn't happily in love with Craig, and John was gay I'd be all over him." Joss completely ignored the comment her mind focused on the fact that John had been here, and now wasn't. She really did have to get going to work she was already going to be late, but now she had a feeling she was going to be really late.

"Frankie back to what you said John was here?"

"Yeah, and you told him!"

"Told him what?"

"That you're pregnant."

"NO! I haven't figured out how to tell him yet."

"Well darling he knows."

"How?"

"I don't know, but he was hoping for more."

"More?"

"Yeah he seems to love the baby making business as you do. I think its mostly the process he loves he probably wants to try over, and over again with you Joss."

"John said he wanted more children?" she sagged onto the arm rest as she thought about it. She had been stressing herself out all night worrying that John wasn't going to be alright with having a child for nothing.

"Yeah so you never told him?"

"No I-I'm at a loss of how he figured it out. I mean I was careful to hide the home pregnancy test in my purse, but maybe he saw the box peeking out or something. I got to call John." she grabbed her phone immediately dialing his number, and he answered on the second ring. "Hey John."

"Are you alright Joss?"

"I'm fine."

"Are you sure you seemed upset at the hotel, and I wanted to come see you but your friend stopped me?"

"I'm fine John. Um, I'm at a loss of how you found out."

"What are you talking about Joss?" he sounded confused.

"Frankie said you knew."

"What are you talking about Joss you told me this morning? Are you sure you are alright are you not feeling well again? Do I need to take you to the hospital?"

"John I'm fine its you that's needs his head examined because I did not tell you." she huffed in annoyance. What was he trying to pull? She wanted to know how he figured it out, and then more importantly she wanted to hear him say how happy he was about it as he did with Frankie. She smiled softly waiting for him to speak.

"Yes you did." he was still going to play that game was he well she had enough?! She wanted to hear him say how excited he was about becoming a daddy, and she wanted to hear it now.

"John I think I would know if I told you I was pregnant!" she snapped. Joss heard a strangled noise out of John then several harsh coughs as if he swallowed wrong, and a sudden onslaught of nausea filled her so keenly. "John I think I need to go throw up." she gasped into the phone putting a hand to her mouth.

"YOU'RE PREGNANT?!" but she couldn't even deal with the surprise in his voice she handed her phone to Frankie, and made a beeline for the bathroom.


Author's note: Yay she's pregnant WOOT WOOT! But how will John react to it well you got a little reaction to it, but I do go more in depth on his reaction in the next chapter which is the final chapter (sniff). I love the idea of a comedy of errors, and people thinking they are talking about the same thing but aren't. It was fun to add that aspect into the whole pregnancy reveal since Joss was overthinking it. Plus John finding out like that was fun to write, and what's to come was as well hopefully you guys enjoy it as much as I did writing it :)

well thanks to you for reading, and reviewing I adore it so much!
