I apologize for how long it took me to update this, but it's kind of hard to find time to write when you're working 8 hour days. Just FYI, if you send me messages asking me to update a certain fic, I'm most likely to get annoyed. I promise to update as regularly and as often as I can, but keep in mind, I do have a life. Anyways, here's the next chapter. Please leave feedback!
Chapter 11
The second Tommy set down the last of the boxes of Jude's things, he bent over, resting his hands on his thighs and tried to catch his breath. Jude looked at him from her spot on the couch and crossed her arms over her chest. "You didn't have to move all of my stuff right away you know" she told him. He lifted his head and looked over at her. "Oh yeah, because moving your stuff would have been so much easier with a baby" he said sarcastically. Jude rolled her eyes at him. "Well you didn't have to do it by yourself. I could have helped you know." Tommy let out a light laugh as he stood up straight and sat down next to her on the couch. "That's sweet, but no you couldn't have" he leaned over and kissed her cheek.
Jude smiled and turned her head to look at him, noticing how tired he looked. "Tommy, you should sleep honey" she told him. He shrugged his shoulders and sat back against the couch. "I'm not tired" he yawned. Jude laughed. "Uh huh, sure you're not" she ran her fingers through his hair and he smiled sleepily at her. "Come on, lay down here" she pointed to her lap. "Okay, but only for a few minutes" Tommy said sleepily as he laid down on the couch, his head resting in her lap.
He felt his eyes slowly close as she ran her fingers through his hair and hummed softly to him. He snuggled closer to her with a grin across his face as he slowly started to drift off to sleep. Jude suddenly stopped everything she was doing. "Tommy?" "Hmm?" he responded, not opening his eyes. "Tommy, look at me please" she requested. Tommy opened his eyes and looked up at her. "What is it?" he asked. "Promise me something?" she whispered. Tommy gave her a small smile. "Anything" he whispered back. Jude took a deep breath. "Promise me that we'll always be like this. You know, even after the baby is born." Tommy sat up and faced her. "I promise we'll always be like this" he smiled and brought a hand to her cheek. "I'm always going to love you Jude." Tears began to fall from her eyes and Tommy wiped them away. "Don't cry" he whispered as he shifted on the couch and embraced her. Jude let out a light laugh as she nuzzled his neck. "I can't really help it. You know, hormones and all that." Tommy laughed and kissed the top of her head. "I love you" he whispered into her hair and she smiled.
"Tommy" Jude lifted her head and pulled away slightly. "Did you feel that?" she asked him and he gave her a confused look. "Feel what?" he asked. Jude quickly grabbed one of his hands and placed it on her stomach. "Jude, what are y…" he started, but Jude cut him off. "Shhhh. Just feel" she instructed and he sat there with his hand on her stomach. Suddenly, he felt a slight movement. "Is that our baby?" he asked, a smile spreading across his face. "I think it is" she smiled at him. He looked down at her stomach, his eyes wide with amazement. "I can't believe there's a baby in there…and we made it" he said. She smiled and put her hand on top of his, causing him to look back up. "There's no one I'd rather have made it with" she told him. He smiled and kissed her softly on the lips. He moved his hands down to the hem of her shirt and lifted it slightly. He kissed her lips one more time before leaning down and kissing her 6 month pregnant stomach. "I love you little one" he whispered against her skin. Jude smiled and cupped his face in her hands, bringing him up to face her again. "I love you Tom Quincy" she whispered before capturing his lips with hers. Moments later, their lips separated and they just smiled at each other, their foreheads pressed together.
Tommy pulled his head away from hers and yawned once again. Jude gave him a sympathetic smile and placed her hand on his thigh. "Come on sleepy, let's go to bed" she told him and he smiled over at him. "That sounds amazing" he said as he stood up and pulled her with him. Hand in hand, they walked down the hall into what was now their bedroom. Once they were inside the door, Tommy hooked his arm around Jude's waist and turned her to face him. "Have I told you lately that I love you?" he asked as he brought one of his hands to her cheek. She laughed lightly and smiled up at him. "Only 50 times a day for the past week." He smiled and kissed her forehead. "Well I love you" he whispered as he pulled away and took her hand in his again, leading her over to their bed.
After he'd stripped off his clothes until he was in nothing but his black, silk boxers, he crawled under the blankets on the bed and closed his eyes. Jude smiled sneakily at him and crawled in next to him. "Tommy, are you sleeping?" she whispered and only got some muffled sound in response. She grinned and scooted closer to him. "Baby, don't go to sleep yet" she whispered as she began placing feather light kisses along his collar bone. "Juuuude" he whined. "It was your idea to sleep" he reminded her. Jude turned her back to him. "Fine. Sleep" she said angrily as she crossed her arms over her chest. Tommy sighed and scooted closer to her until he was pressed against her. "I don't have to sleep. We can talk" he whispered as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Jude turned her head and smiled up at him. "No, you need to sleep. We can talk later" she kissed his cheek.
Tommy smiled and laid his head against her back as he moved one if his legs over hers. They laid in silence as he closed his eyes and began slowly drifting off to sleep. "It's just that" Jude started and Tommy opened his eyes and lifted his head. "What?" he asked sleepily. Jude turned around so that she was facing him. "What are we going to name the baby?" she asked. Tommy shrugged his shoulders slightly and placed his hands on the small of her back. "We could always go for Tommy Jr." he teased and Jude rolled her eyes. "There is no way in hell I am naming my son after you" she joked. "Oh that hurts Harrison" he brought his hand to his heart for effect. "And I do believe I played a roll in his conception, making him my son too" he reminded her. She rolled her eyes. "I like how you just assume that our baby is a boy" she scoffed. "But seriously, what are we going to name this baby?" she asked. "Well maybe if we knew if it was a boy or a girl, this would be easier" he suggested. "Tommy, we've talked about this. You know I want it to be a surprise" she told him and he nodded. "Yeah, I know. I guess we'll just have to pick out names for both then" he said. "You, my dear, are brilliant" she told him and he rolled his eyes.
"So, what names do you like for a girl?" she asked him and he shrugged. "I don't know. What names do you like for a girl?" he asked her back. She sighed. "Tommy, if you're just going to repeat what I say back to me, then you can go to sleep" she said, annoyed. Tommy sighed. "Okay, okay" he paused and thought for a moment, but Jude interrupted. "How about Perlita?" she asked and Tommy laughed, only to be slapped in the shoulder. "What was that for?" he asked, rubbing the spot where she hit him. "For laughing at me, jerk" she spat. "I thought you were kidding" he defended. "No, I wasn't kidding, but obviously my ideas aren't good enough for you" she turned away from him and crossed her arms over her chest. Tommy sighed and put his hand on her arm. "It's not that your ideas aren't good enough Jude it's just…Perlita Quincy?" She laughed at how ridiculous it sounded and turned back around to face him. "I guess you're right" she said and he smiled, relieved that she wasn't mad at him anymore. "You got any better ideas Quincy?" she asked, poking her finger into his bare chest. "Actually, I do" he said proudly. "How about Kallie? If I'm not mistaken, it translates to 'most beautiful' in Greek" he offered. Jude smiled and nodded.
"Kallie it is then. Now for boy names" she paused for a minute. "We've already ruled out Tommy Jr." she laughed. "How about Chandler?" she suggested and Tommy scrunched his face. "What's wrong with that one?" she sighed. "Well, nothing's wrong with it exactly, it's just…" he stopped. "Just what?" Jude began to grow annoyed with him. "Well, with a name like Chandler, we're just setting him up to be some preppy snob" he told her. "Fine" she sighed. "And I suppose you've got something better then." Tommy gave her a cocky grin and simply said "Constantine." Jude laughed. "You have got to be kidding me. Constantine?" she asked. "And what is wrong with Constantine? It's a great name for my son" he told her and she laughed some more. "Tommy, we are not naming our child Constantine. Do you really want him to get beat up on a regular basis and have his lunch money taken from him?" Tommy frowned and crossed his arms over his chest. "Fine. Let's see you come up with better then" he said, annoyed. "I will" she said confidently. After thinking it over for a few moments, she grinned. "Jax. Jax Quincy." Tommy smiled at her. "Jax. I like it" he leaned in and kissed her cheek.
She smiled and brushed a piece of hair off of his forehead. "You really should sleep Quincy. You don't look so great" she teased and he rolled his eyes. "Well maybe if you'd close your big mouth once in a while, I'd be able to sleep" he teased back and she laughed. "Alright Quincy. Bed time" she instructed and he saluted her. "Yes ma'am" he laughed and pulled her closer to him. "Good night Jude" he whispered and kissed her lips softly. "Good night Tommy" she responded and laid her head on his chest, both soon falling into a peaceful sleep.
