A/N: I'm super sorry about the wait. I lost my binder with the drafts of the chapters for this story. I've found it now so I should post the next chapter soon.

Fall Into Me

Chapter 12

DECEMBER 28, 2009

Cody's view-

I was getting ready to leave the hotel with Cassie (Sophia, the nanny was off for a few days) when there was a knock on my hotel room door. I sighed and opened it.

"Mr. Rhodes, this was left for you," a hotel staff person said. She was holding an infant carrier. This didn't seem good.

"Are you sure?" I asked. I was kind of nervous and surprised.

"A young red head brought her and wanted your room number. When we couldn't give it to her she asked that we deliver this," the staff person explained.

I took the carrier and saw a note inside. It was from some random ring rat I supposed. Scanning though the note I learned the baby was three months old and her name was Jordyn. I knew I had to call Ali. Not only did I have no idea how to take care of a baby, I wanted Ali to find out from me.

"Ali, you have to come to my room. Be prepared for a surprise," I told her when I called. I didn't really get to say much else before Jordyn started crying.

"Cassie, do you want to talk to Mama for a minute before I hang up?" I asked quickly.

Cassie talked to Ali for a minute while I figured out how to get Jordyn out of her car seat.

"Mama said she'd be her in a few minutes," Cassie said. "That baby is loud." She looked at me like I should be doing something about it.

"What do you think we can do to calm her?" I asked. I felt kind of stupid asking a three year old what to do to calm a baby, but I had to do something.

"Mama sings to me when I cry. Aunt Stephie sings to Murphy," Cassie suggested. She looked a little skeptical that I would know anything about the baby.

I began to sing whatever bits and pieces of whatever songs popped into my head. It worked a little bit. Jordyn was still fussy. She didn't have a bag so I wasn't sure what to do. The very limited experience I had with small kids they'd always had a bag with instructions.

A minute later there was a knock on the door. It was Ali. I quickly explained the situation while Ali instantly took Jordyn. I could see the list forming in her head. She was the ultimate list maker.

Ali's view-

I was shocked when I saw Cody holding a baby. He was quickly explaining what happened and my maternal instincts immediately kicked in.

"Cody, do you have room in your suitcase?" I asked. He looked puzzle but answered. I added a suitcase to my mental list. I was a list person, and I knew all the stuff that Cody would need for a baby.

"Okay, I'm going to call Vince and tell him we'll miss the meeting because of a personal emergency and then we'll go to Wal-Mart or Costco to get some stuff for Jordyn. She needs some stuff," I said putting myself into motion almost instantly.

Vince was annoyed that we were going to miss his meeting, but he let it slide since it was me, being me had it's perks sometimes, packed the girls in the car, and headed to the local superstore.

A little over an hour later we were packing Cody's car with a Pack-N-Play, diapers, formula, bottles, pacifiers, clothes (only a few since I volunteered Cassie's old clothes) and all the other things a baby needs.

Cody and I walked into the building and Randy almost immediately found us together. "Want me to take Cassie to Ted and keep Jordyn for a bit while you talk to Randy?" I asked. I knew this wasn't going to be good.

"Please," Cody said steeling himself for the confrontation with Randy. I had a feeling the confrontation was going to be about me. I would have to guess that Randy heard the news all ready.

"Com on, Cass, let's go find Ted," I said grabbing her hand and taking Jordyn from Cody. We were barely out of normal hearing distance when Randy began to yell. The man needed to learn that yelling didn't solve anything.

"Daddy sounds angry," Cassie said.

"Don't worry about it sunshine," I said when we saw the Legacy locker room. I dropped Cassie off with Ted. He looked at the baby, but didn't ask any questions.

I went to grab some food and saw Steph. "I take it this was Cody's emergency?"

"This is Jordyn; DNA test to follow," I said quietly.

"How'd you get stuck with her?" Steph asked all ready taking her out of her carrier.

"Randy saw us coming in with Cassie and looked and sounded like he was going to freak out," I said.

Steph and I chatted for a bit when Paul came by. Steph hissed something that sounded remarkably like not now in his ear. He looked frustrated. By this point I was feeding Jordyn. She was a sweetheart.

Paul glared fore a few minutes, but didn't say a word. Paul was still sitting, or more like watching over, Steph and I when Cody came back. I didn't even want to ask about what was happening with Randy. I was sure that Randy was angry with him. I know Randy is freaking out about Cassie spending "his" time with me.

"Thanks, babe," Cody said giving me a quick kiss. I saw Paul roll his eyes. He was on the verge of irritating me terribly.

"No problem. I can keep her a little longer if you want to find your script and stuff," I said.

"Are you sure?" Cody asked.

"It's not a problem. Paul gave me the night off sort of. He only has show stuff to do today," I said. Cody didn't hang around very long.

"What do you see in him?" Paul asked.

"Paul, don't start. I really like Cody so deal with it," I told him. I wasn't going there today.

Steph made excuses and left. Paul sulked shortly behind her leaving me with my own thoughts.

"What do you say, Jordyn? Are you ready for Daddy to come back?" I asked her cooing and smiling at her.

"You just hooked up with him and you all ready have a baby," John joked surprising me a little.

"It's a long story," I said. "And does everyone know about me and Cody?"

"Pretty much, but it was worth the look on Randy's face when he found out. It was pardon the pun priceless," John said. "Since I saw Randy all pissy earlier I'm assuming he saw you and Cody together."

"Yeah, Cody and I came in with Cassie and Jordyn here. Randy looked thoroughly pissed. He's probably pissed that I'm avoiding him too," I said. "How's Kristy?"

John and I continued to talk and catch up about the holidays. John and I were still talking when Cassie interrupted. "Uncle John, I hungry."

"Baby girl shouldn't you stay with Cody and Ted?" John asked.

"I is hungry. They is coming, but I's faster," Cassie explained. "Oh, hi mama."

"All right how about I call Cody and see where they are," I said. I saw him before the first ring.

"I got two little girls looking for you," I said. "You seem to have a hard time keeping track of the mobile one."

"I knew she would find you or John," Cody said coming over and hanging up.

"Cody, hungry. Let's get food," Cassie said practically dragging him to the food. He really had no choice but to follow. I know how she is when she gets like that.

"So this must be Jordyn," Ted said. He looked like he wanted to hold her.

"Had this place been over run by Legacy?" John asked. "It's a good thing that you guys aren't too horrible."

I handed Ted Jordyn and silently instructed him how to hold her. I was unsure what to say to him since I had rarely talked to him. "You know I don't bite or anything," he said.

"But Cass seems to slip away from you a lot," I joked with a smile. I trusted Cody so in turn I trusted Ted.

"I always know where she's gonna turn up," Ted said with a smile.

"Dude, stop mackin on my girl," Cody joked coming back with food. John, Ted and I burst out laughing. I don't think any of us had heard anyone say that since high school.

"Are you a big teddy bear like Cody?" I asked when we stopped laughing.

"Depends who you ask. Kristen would say yes," Ted said before we all began eating and talking some more. It was nice to not have to worry about Randy and stuff.
