Last Time

Woody looked up to see who his savior was and was surprised when he saw it was….

Chapter 10

In a last minute attempt to keep him from beating the crap out of her, she kneed him in the balls. He fell off of her and she pulled herself up. She ran over to the gun and grabbed it. At least I have the upper hand now.

She didn't see it coming. One minute she had the gun and she was turning around and the next minute she was lying on the ground with blood coming out of her chest. He was standing over her with the gun still in his hand. Is he going to finish me off or will I die slowly.

She heard a noise, but she was to out of it to see what was happening. All she heard was her name before slipping into the darkness.

They had just made it to the door when they heard a gun shot. Jordan!

"Max…take him out." Woody said and then he kicked in the door. Woody heard the shot and knew Max had hit his target when he heard the thump. His heart stopped when he saw Jordan on the ground.

"Jordan!" He shouted as he ran over to her. He made sure she had a pulse and he called 911.

Max was currently tying the Judge up and taking his gun.

"Jordan?" Woody said "Wake up. Baby, don't do this to me." He applied pressure to her wound to stop the bleeding, but it wasn't working. Blood kept pouring out of her.

Max came over "Jordan, this is your dad. If you don't wake up your grounded."

After he finished saying it her eyes opened "Dad?"

"I knew that would work." He shook his head "Yes, it's me. Hang in there, okay?"

"Woody?" She asked as she looked at him through bleary eyes

"I'm here, Jordan." He said as he kissed her forehead "Stay with me, okay?"

"Woody, if I don't make it-" She started

"You'll make it." he said as tears came to his eyes. "I know you will."

"But if I don't, I just wanted you to know…" she grabbed his hand "I love you and I'm sorry for everything."

"I love you too, but you don't have anything to be sorry about." He noticed her eyes were starting to drift shut "Jordan?"

She didn't answer "Jordan?!" He shouted "Stay with me. Come on, Jordan. Don't leave me."

Woody didn't even notice the cops and paramedics coming in until they told him they needed him to move so they could help her. Max pulled him out of the way until the paramedics were ready to go and then Woody asked if he could ride with them.

They told him he could and Max told Woody he would call Garret and tell him what happened and meet him at the hospital.

As soon as they made it to the hospital she was rushed into surgery. Woody had been waiting there five minutes when Max walked in.

"I called Garret and told him what happened. He said he would be out here on the first flight he can make."

Woody didn't even hear him. Max walked up to him "This isn't your fault Woody."

"How is it not my fault? I let her go in there."

"Do you honestly believe you LET her do anything? She has never taken orders from anyone." Max said

"I love her. Why does this always happen to us?"

"Do you remember that night in the bar when I told you to listen to that voice in your head that was telling you to run away?" Max asked

He nodded his head

"Did you?

"No."

"Do you also remember that time you told Jordan to get out of your hospital room and that you never wanted to see her again?"

He nodded his head

"Did she?"

"No."

"No matter what you two go through, you have never given up on each other." Max told him "I'm not gonna lie. You and Jordan will have your share of fights, but in the end…you'll always stick together because you two love each other. Don't ever let that go because it's hard to find these days."

"Thanks, Max"

"No problem."

Two hours later the doctor walked in "Cavanaugh?" He asked

Max and Woody walked up to him "How is she?" Woody asked

"She lost a lot of blood and we will have to keep her for a few days, but she'll make it." He stated with a smile "She asking for someone named Woody. Is that either of you?"

"It's me." Woody announced

"Follow me." He led Woody into a room and left

Woody walked up to her bed and kissed her. "I love you. Don't ever scare me like that again."

"I won't. I love you too." She grabbed his hand and asked "Is my dad really here or did I dream that"

"He's here. Do you want to see him?"

She nodded her head

"Okay. I'll be right back." Woody left the room and Max walked in a few minutes later.

She smiled "Hey, Dad."

"Hey."

"Where have you been?"

"Around." He said "I'm sorry, Jordan. I won't leave again. I promise."

"Okay. I love you."

"Love you too." He sat down beside her "So, when's the wedding?"

She smiled "Dad." She said with a groan "That is so not cool."

4 Months Later

Woody had been planning this for a long time. They got out of the car and headed down a small path. It was dim outside do they took a flashlight with them. When they got to the clearing, Jordan gasped.

In the center was a blanket with a picnic basket and a bottle of wine. Around the blanket were lit candles and rose petals. She smiled Never in a million years would I have pictured something this romantic being my thing.

They walked over to the blanket and sat down next to each other. After pouring them some wine, Woody turned towards her "Jordan, we've been through a lot in our lives. Shootings, bombings, arguments, dancing, kissing but one thing I've always known was how much I wanted to be with you. These past four months have been amazing. I love you so much. So Jordan…" Woody pulled out a box and opened it. Inside was the most beautiful ring imaginable, but not over the top "will you marry me?"

"Woody, I love you too and I have for a while, but I was in denial." She smiled and wiped away the happy tears "I couldn't imagine life without you and after the shooting I realized I have a lot to live for."

"Is that a yes?" He asked

She laughed "Yes."

He slid the ring on her finger and kissed her "I love you."

"I love you too."
