Finally! what you have been waiting… well most of you…...
I still don't own anything
"Jaime can you taste this?" she called as she read something on her phone. She is wearing a pink tank top and a grey skirt with a … well… what she calls a sex and the city flower, Jaime thinks to himself as a smile appears on his lips. What man knows about a sex and the city flower besides a married one.
He approaches her and she already has a wooden spoon ready with clear liquid.
He sips it and winces, "too tart."
"Why won't you make it? I'm horrible at making caipirinha?"
Her hair is in a messy bun with a pair of blue glasses resting on her head and a pair of black cat-eye glasses on her face. He removed the pair on her head, he'll put them in her draw.
"I'm prepping for next week with the holidays things are out of whack," he said as he was about to leave, "some more simple sugar, perhaps."
"J, I'm pouting please help," she said pushing out her bottom lip as he left the room.
"I need you to be the taste tester – Derek will be here soon," she added as he headed upstairs.
He silently groaned inwardly as he made his way back to his desk, this would be his third time over this week. Her team had been gone for 4 weeks which meant that she worked around the clock and he brought her food between classes on his bike. Then she had to go to Miami and join them. It was the first time they'd been apart since they were married and when he called her she rarely answered. He knew he shouldn't be upset – It's her job.
Since she's been back… about 5 days, now… things have just been out of whack and she doesn't even sense it. He groaned again… Derek was always somewhere buzzing around. With tomorrow being the start of Memorial Day weekend he had a feeling he would be seeing more of him and he wasn't how do you American's say it psyched… Derek started coming over after the new year and he's been baby girl-ing this and baby girl-ing that. Jaime didn't mind in the beginning … but he just couldn't shake his dad's words—about Derek being in love with Penelope…. about then getting married to fast… about them being strangers… not strangers but still in the honeymoon phase wearing honey colored glasses. Jaime disagrees with his father… See, he assumed that Derek and Penelope broke up because she wanted a relationship and he wasn't ready… So how could he be, as his dad says, the broken hearted one… How could Penelope leave him broken hearted – when he ended things by not choosing her. He's a fool but not broken hearted.
Ugh he groaned again tapping his pen to the desk.
He knew one truth - she was happier with Derek in her life – her smile said it all… and he didn't mind Derek being a part of her life… but he didn't like sharing her with an ex-lover she still couldn't tell him about. Must mean there something still there he thought… or that's what his dad would say.
She should have just made the caipirinha first without the rum and then added it.
Maybe she could smell if it was too tart… she couldn't taste it.
Jaime she called as she followed him to his mini-office.
She saw him pensively looking at the schedule.
"What's the conundrum?"
"Hmm," he asked trying to clear his mind and focus.
"I can help," she offered as she rubbed his shoulder.
"I just need to figure out who will teach Monday," he said voicing the problem out loud, "I can take the two morning classes and Stacy can take the two later ones and close the studio by 1 so we can head to Rossi's bar for the BBQ. I'll just have to refund the folks who signed up for the 3 and 4pm classes."
"See, I solved the problem by just being in the room," she said sitting on the corner of his desk.
"Now come and taste test," she said too perky.
"Teacup, I can't. I have to come up with a routine for the class and figure out the mats," he said as she pulled him by his belt between her legs, "come here grumpy cat." she said as she leaned in to kiss him. Her lips felt so good, her tongue explored his mouth and he was almost ok with not creating the new routine.
She pulled away and her bun fell down, "are you anxious about your parents coming to the bbq? Or Fionn going over the books? I can help. I'm beyond amazing at math!"
"I just..." He said resting his thumb on her lip trying to find the right words. "I just feel like-" he began but he settled on, "I miss you."
She shook her head, "The cases have been crazy – and this one was so… all the troll and cabbage patch dolls couldn't help me unsee all that I have," she said as a shiver walked across her spine.
"I've missed you too. Maybe after your parents visit we can take a weekend somewhere."
"Yes," he agreed leaning back towards her lips as the tension left his heart…. Maybe he was being melodramatic.
His hands inched up her skirt as he nibbled her neck, "Jay, we don't have enough time."
"I'll be fast," he said as he nipped her shoulder.
"Ok," she smiled as she unbuckled his pants. "I think you need a holiday- maybe Hotch will give me a few more days and we can go to Austin – "she said as she started to stoke him.
He groaned as his body automatically thrusted into her hand. He pulled her hips close to him and pulled her thong to the side. She was so wet for him- he started to massage her pearl when she asked
"Have you ever been to Texas?" She moaned as he lined himself up at her entrance.
"No," he answered as he pushed inside her moist channel.
Jackob she moaned as he found their rhythm. She held him so tightly it always felt exquisitely amazing. She leaned back on his desk and he squeezed her nipples as he increased the pace. He didn't think he would last much longer and then he felt her contract around him.
"I love you Mr. Tollhansson," she whispered against his lips as her orgasm began.
Jaime she screeched as he thrusted and into her trying to go deeper. Claiming all the places that he felt were beyond his reach.
She griped his head and bucked against his hips as the final wave of her orgasm road through her.
He hiked her leg over his shoulder and held her firmly against his hips. She was spread wide open and completely his. He proceeded in and out quicker and quicker until he found himself about to explode. He captured her bottom lip and laid her down on his desk. He used the new position as an opportunity to penetrate her deeper – he could feel himself bottoming out in her with each thrust. He felt a second orgasm begin within her as he continued to fill her.
Penelope gasped for air surprised that another orgasm was started to form. She barely finished the first one and here is another. He'd been odd… no closed off… more like reserved… when she came back. This is the longest they gone without being with each other and he just didn't seem into it and she didn't want to push.
I love you he whispered on her neck. Her body arched to meet him. She tried to gain control of her body as he pinched her nipple which made all the efforts useless as the orgasm rolled through her. She clung to him as the came together
"That was amazing," she said breathlessly as he held her around him and rested his head on her shoulder.
He nuzzled into her and said, "I love you more than"
Doorbell rings and he groans….
"Frak!" she yelps as she shimmied from under him.
"Ugh, why can't he go away," he groaned.
"This weekend will be amazing - you'll see grumpy cat. Now let me freshen up – can't smell like our early evening tryst all night."
She pecked him on his cheek, "Could you get the door? And taste the drink?"
He watched her go and laughed to himself – He'd just been had.
He freshened up before Derek could ring the bell the 3rd time.
He opened up the door and he saw Derek's smile fall a bit when he realized he wasn't Penelope.
"Hey," Jaime said as he opened the door wider and let him in.
"Hey Man," Derek said and gave him a handshake.
"I bought beer and Penelope's favorite rosé."
"She hates rose," Jaime responds, "she likes tequila and rum – not a wine person unless Rossi selects it"
"I was around before Rossi – trust me. This is the exception to the rule" he said with a hint of cockiness and smile. "How's the studio going?" he asked and Jaime could feel those annoying Baby Girl-ing emotions coming back.
They make small talk as Jaime's anger… annoyance… frustrations begins to build.
Penelope enters as Jaime finally starts rescue the cocktail.
"Derek you have to taste this – Jaime rocks at the caipirinha!"
"I brought beer and" Penelope cuts him off
"We're hosting, buddy," she said as she poked him in his ribs, "Fast and the Furious 6 takes place mostly in Brazil hence the caipirinha. We made a pitcher – You are going to drink some."
"Yes, Ma'am" he says as he salutes her.
"we also made baby tapas apps and "
"How's your stomach— that bug passed?"
"Bug" Jaime asked before he pours the new ingredients into the cocktail
"It was nothing?" she said trying to brush it of as she re-did her bun.
"Nothing? You were so sick I had to use Hotch's bathroom."
"You shared a room?" Jaime asked as he puts his spoon down -surprised by this revelation.
"No,"
"Yes,"
Penelope and Derek say simultaneously.
She looked at Derek, "No we didn't. We had to share bathrooms—all of the rooms had to share a bathroom."
Derek knows he shouldn't poke the situation but it's nice to see Mr. Perfect with surprised "A bathroom is a room and it wouldn't have been the first time we shared a room –"
the doorbell interrupts Derek defense.
"That's the food," Derek says as he makes his way to the door
"I have to finish my routine for classes this weekend," Jaime says stoically as he watches Derek leave the room.
Penelope pulls down three glasses, "Did you finish the cocktail? – do you want popcorn?"
"I'm going to finish the routine—it's either that or miss the BBQ," He says firmly
"Come on its Derek's pick tonight and we're watching Fast and Furious 6."
"This is his third time over this week and I have to."
"It's not," Penelope interrupted and rolled her eyes, "and when you made us watch – The Seventh Seal - we didn't complain."
"It is his 3rd time over – Maybe he should buy a bunk bed and move downstairs," he snapped.
He grabbed his notepad and iPhone and said "I can't."
He made his way to the studios and she watched him go - perplexed by his mood. He got prickly when things were out of order – Lance's last minute cancel screwed up the order of the weekend …
"But I thought we fixed that," she thought aloud rubbing her belly.
She chewed on her bottom lip and worried a bit.
"Do you want to taste test the cocktail?"
She brought down a shot glass so Derek could try the drink and she could fix it.
Normally she would go see what was bothering him but since this was their last movie night for a while she figured she'd let him Ohm it out.
Ohm it out… she should put that on a t-shirt.
"I pre-ordered your favorite veggie enchiladas."
"Thanks," she said taking the bag from him
"Steak and Mushroom fajitas for Jaime"
"He's going to work tonight – holiday schedule and all," she perked up, "the caipirinha
needs you to test them – I tried it so often and now I can't taste the difference," she said playing with her hair
Why was she playing with her hair? Derek thought, That's her normal tell for fibbing but why? Maybe her and Jaime got into an argument - maybe he shouldn't have poked the bear. She and Kevin argued all the time but their tiffs – Jaime and Penelope never argued.
He was just so perfect, he thought.
It was good to see him show his insecurity… when he thought they shared a room. Finally, he had a dent in his armor. I would be pissed to if Penelope shared a room with another man.
He took the movie out of his leather jacket… "time to see how it ends," he said dangling it in front of her.
'Lets," she said grabbing his arm and leading him upstairs
"So how was your date last night?" she said as put the remaining ingredients in front of him
"It was ok," he said wincing as a he tasted the cocktail
"Just ok? You should let me fix you up with..."
"No, baby girl – I got this," he said patting her hand. The last thing he needed was her trying to fix him up. He still wasn't over her and he knew it wasn't the women - it was him. He was in love with his best friend who was in love with her husband. Sometimes he wishes he wasn't.
"But I know the perfect …"
He raised his eyebrow
"Fine," she said.
Today wasn't her day, she thought
"That was great," she said as they cleared up the living room, "he and his brother looked so much alike." She said as they made their way to the kitchen.
"you're thinking of Fast Furious 7 this one was Paul Walker" he said as he placed their glasses in the washer.
"Really?"
"Baby girl, is everything ok?"
He noticed she was fidgety all night; Jaime was slamming doors…. Well closing doors firmly which made her twirl her hair with worry throughout the movie.
"Yes," she said taking her hair again.
"Is everything ok with you and Jaime?"
"Yes," she said twisting it a new strand.
"Penelope Garcia," he said closing the space between them and taking her hand away from her hair and letting it rest in his hand.
"Derek," she said squeezing his hand, "everything is fine. I'm just not used to"
"Never mind," She turned to put more dishes in the washer and asked, "So we have to see Fast Furious 7"
"Deflecting?"
"Derek, I'm not deflecting."
He raised her chin so their eyes met, "You've been antsy all night, didn't touch your drink, and Jaime's working in the studio." Working is between air quotes
"I'm just not used to keeping secrets and I can't wait till we tell him."
"We," Derek asked
"I mean I,"
"I'm just not used to keep secrets – it feels so deceptive,"
"Hey come here baby girl," He holds her close as he smooths out her hair, "whatever you need, I'm here for you? Did he do something?"
"Am I interrupting? Jaime said entering the room, "I didn't think Fast Furious 6 was a tear jerker,"
"No, it definitely was not," she said stepping out of Derek's embrace. "I mean it was no Seventh Seal - I definitely saw what inspired Bill and Ted. That should be our next movie night," she said smiling at her husband. "I can show you the American classics according to Penelope.
Derek knew something was up and his timely appearance to the kitchen just proved it, "I was just."
"Hoping," Jaime said as looked at Derek as an intruder.
"Being a good friend," Derek responded directly.
She looked between the two of them confused, "You my grumpy friend need a night cap – she said rubbing his back, "I'll get you a caipirinha stat," she teased as she headed to the living room to get the cocktail.
When she left Jaime went to the fridge to grab a beer
"Hoping you could be the hero and slay the dragon. The dragon being me… right?" he said opening the beer
"We've been friend long before you and if you hurt," Derek began to threaten.
"Threats? Tsk tsk," Jaime said shaking his head, "your true colors are seeping out." He said as he took a sip of beer
"If you hurt her in any way you will answer to me," Derek said.
Jaime closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "What is that golden rule- though shall not covet thy neighbor's wife," he felt his simmering blood reaching its boiling point "save this big brother routine."
"Wife?" Derek laughed, "She married you to fix a computer glitch… and to give you a visa… 5 years and counting so don't act like it's true love."
The bottle slipped through his hand and next thing you knew Derek caught his fist and countered with a fist to the side.
As Derek's fist hit just below his ribs - Jaime connected with Derek's mouth and sent him into the counter where his beer went crashing to the floor.
Derek tasted the blood on his lip and charged at Jaime grabbing his collar.
"Stop it," Penelope screamed as she walked in, "What the heck," she said trying to take in the space.
"Derek," she said lowly "leave,"
"Baby Girl, I"
She shook her head, "Please leave," she said once more as she continued to stare at Jaime.
"If you need anything," Derek continued
"Please," she interrupted him and he nodded.
She went to the sink and wet a cloth and grabbed peas from the freezer. As soon as she heard the front door close, "what was that?"
"I know," Jaime said
"Know what?"
"How does it feel to be so close to temptation? Is it hard to say no or do you backslide sometimes?"
"Jaime what are you talking about and why were you fighting?" she asked trying to remain calm since he was beyond pissed.
"I know Penelope," he growled as he said a bunch of thing in Swedish that she knew weren't nice.
"Know what, you freakin grumpy cat!" she said finally feeling frustrated and pissed.
"He's your chocolate – you detoxed from him and now… you guys are back to your babygirling ways so where does that leave me and this fake visa marriage? I mean you're sharing rooms and having dates right, baby girl? Keeping secrets?
Her brain wouldn't let her hear the rest – it stopped at fake
Tears welled up in her eyes "fake?"
"I mean what else would you call it… the way he looks at you – following you around like a puppy." He went on to continue cursing in Swedish as he paced in the kitchen.
"Fake marriage is that what you think this is? Backsliding," she said as a tear stream down her face.
"You've been weird for the past two or three weeks… always leaving the room to talk to him?"
"To talk to JJ," she corrected, "We're friends too do you think I'm backsliding with her?"
She wiped her tears pissed, "Rossi calls me Kitten, I must be sleeping with him too."
"So are you telling me you never slept with Derek? I'm just a crazy jealous husband right, baby girl?"
"Stop doing that!" she ordered
"What, baby girl? He said realizing the floodgates of his anger were open - "or can he only call you that? I mean - what was that I just saw?"
He cursed some more – she heard fuck and it reminded her of Kevin and his insane competition with Derek. He called her baby girl so he called her sugar plum.
"In our damn home," he said as he banged his hand on the counter.
"I'm not going to do this with you," she said as she turned around to leave the kitchen.
"No," he said catching her before she left the room. He caught her by the arm guided her towards the wall and then trapped her with his body blocking all exits.
"No, you owe me the truth," he growled at her.
"Nothing is going on between me and Derek! I can't believe you right now."
"So, I just made this up – and you were never with him?" He moved her head so she was looking at him "Why do you continue to lie to me and keep it a secret?" he asked quietly.
"I didn't lie – I'm not lying. Derek and I were done before you and I were even a seedling in organic soil. Derek and I didn't work in that way. he wanted," she said trying to find the words. "he wasn't ready…"
She licked her lips, "We loved each other but we didn't work. we were better off as friends and that day in the changing room I was feeling – defeated because I couldn't manage my expectations. I would get in this vicious hopeful cycle that would always leave me feeling not good enough. and I wanted to let him go so I could clear out that part of my heart and be ready for something new. Something other worldly … but you saw me crying and I couldn't say I'm crying because my best friend only sees me as friends with benies… I" she began… "I didn't want to be this defeated girl and so I made up this reason and I didn't know you knew about nutrition and" she said as she wiped her tears "and we clicked—we worked and when you kissed me in the rain I knew. So this bout of doubt you're having is freaking us out," Her lip quivered and said "fake marriage."
"He said, "Jaime began.
"I don't care - how could you think that? Derek and I have been friends for years and yes sometimes we speak in our own language – but we are only friends" She looked up at him hurt—"I thought you knew me better than that." she said trying to duck under his arm and escape.
"Hey," he said grabbing her hand as the tears flowed
"How could you think I'd cheat on you?" she said getting pissed again, "I wouldn't be with you if I was pinning for him… in love with him."
"I was feeling squeezed out and it seemed the more you were with him the happier you were getting and the secret calls, not taking class, or doing our morning smoothies and stretch routine…. You were disappearing…. I just thought – It felt like I was losing you."
"I wanted to surprise you tomorrow – with your family here... but we're making a mini-yogi-teacup with a dash of grumpy cat" She said taking her hand and putting it on her stomach, "I can't take your class because I'm queasy in the morning and JJ was helping me with morning sickness tricks but I was trying to surprise you."
"What?" he said staring between he and her belly.
"Before the case I had an inkling but since I'm older—geriatric pregnancy technically ...since I'm over 35- I wanted to make sure he was fine and perfect and when your parents said they were coming down – I tried to wait."
He kissed her, "I love you – I'm an idiot," he peppered her face with kisses "complete idiot."
"We're both idiots."
"I'm so sorry
"If Derek makes you uncomfortable I can nix movie nights and" he interrupted her with a kiss.
"We're having a baby," he murmured against her lips, "I don't care about Derek, Rossi, or kittens."
He picked her up, she grabbed his neck, "what are you doing?"
"carrying you to bed."
"I can walk" she said
"we're having a baby!"
He carried her to the bedroom, and placed her gently on the bed, "I'm sorry for being such an ashat and I think it may happen a couple more times during the pregnancy so I apologize in advance."
"Ok, Ok" she said eagerly, "Let's make up" she said getting down to her undies.
"I think we should wait till we talk to the doctor." He said as he removed his pants.
She got on her knees in the middle of the bed and put her hands on her hips, "We had sex 5 hours ago and the baby is fine?"
He opened his draw and pulled out his kindle, "teacup, I have research to do—a prenatal routine for you and prenatal smoothies, I'm sure there are a few books out there for me?"
She fell back on her back and pouted, "what's the point of arguing if we don't have the amazing make-up sex? You're setting a bad precedent here?"
"Oh alright," he said with no enthusiasm.
"Not in the mood," she countered as she closed her eyes and pretended to snore
"we can remedy that teacup," he said as he pinned her down.
"You can try," she teased as he peppered kisses on her shoulder.
They made love till they were exhausted.
The next morning, she and Jamie sat on their roof as he read pregnancy facts to her.
"So how should we tell your parents … at dinner?" she asked interrupting his 6-week factoid.
"How's the smoothie?"
"Good," she said.
"I'll get more spinach and pineapple."
"J it's fine," she said taking another sip.
"You grimace at every sip"
"Babe, It's fine"
"I'll hope on my bike and be back in a flash."
"J – we can go to whole foods later and do a big shop?"
"Mini- teacup needs her folic acid and vitamin A." he said as a final decision on the subject.
She took another sip and plastered a fake smile on her lips –"see delicious."
"5 minutes," he said as he grabbed his house keys, "Be right back"
"Ok, I'll go take a nap till you come back."
They headed down together.
She woke up from her nap and the house was eerily quiet.
"Jaime," she called out "why didn't you wake me up?"
"I finished the smoothie an hour ago took a nap," and she was surprised he wasn't in the office. she was about to check the kitchen when there's a knock on the door.
"I thought you took your keys," she said as she opened the door
Instead of seeing Jaime she sees two police officers
"Mrs. Tollanhasson"
"Yes," she stuttered
"Please come with us your husband he's been in an accident."
"What?" she gasps "How is he?" she stammers.
"He's in critical condition."
She immediately started to cry "He'll be fine," she says.
She grabs her keys and walks out the door.
"Wait, I need my phone and he needs his kindle one minute."
She stuffs her purse and as she runs back to the door she stops, "God, please - let him be alright."
When I started writing this story this was the first chapter I conceived of (well this and the next one) - I didn't realize it would take me 14 chapters to get here... I also didn't know I'd totally fall for Jaime (that coupled with this season - inspiration was lacking) Now, if I could only update Darkside of the Coin.
I hope you enjoy and please excuse the typos and leave a review :)
