Thanks so much for taking the time to read and review! You guys are too funny! I love it! I've been meaning to post this all week, but it's been a hectic week and then my laptop decided to go on strike. So, we had a talk and I won. lol I'm really, really happy you all are digging it….I just hope you like this one…No electric chair in this one…Maybe Booker will make her one later in the story…Hanson didn't like it, but Jackie might. This chapter is inspired by a combanation of various episodes from season 1-5.

Chapter 20

Jackie looked like a deer in head lights as she shifted in her seat. "Judy…Hi." Jackie quickly glared at Hanson raising her voice an octave as she put on a fake smile for Judy. "I didn't know you were coming." Jackie continued to glare at Hanson while she gritted her teeth through her smile. "What a nice surprise."

Hanson stood up, and pulled out Judy's chair for her. "I thought so too." Judy smiled back as she and Tom took their seats. "You know…I was a little worried about the three of us working together, since this is the first time that we had." Judy confessed. "But, then Tom mentioned how you wanted to have a late dinner…" Judy smiled slyly as she picked up her menu from the table. "I thought…Jackie is amazing." Judy leaned forward pressing the menu into her chest. "I mean, I know Hanson hasn't been the friendliest to you since he's been back. But, you wanted to have dinner with him anyway." Judy glanced at Hanson as he briefly looked down biting his lip to play off his amusement. "As mean as he's been and after the way things ended between you two…..I don't think I could've done it." Judy shook her head as she casually skimmed the menu. "It takes a big person to take the first step." Judy leaned in a bit as she watched Jackie study her menu like she was going to be tested on it. "However, I was more impressed because you wanted to move the time up. Just so you could do it before the bust tonight." Judy smiled, leaned back and shook her head in false admiration as Jackie smiled in return before taking a drink of her water. "I guess you wanted to make sure he didn't have any tension before dealing with Andre." Jackie choked on her water. "You okay?" Judy grinned as she tried to look concerned.

Jackie nodded as she waved her hand to let her know she was fine. "Haven't we….uh…worked together before?" Jackie flicked her wrist back and forth as she pointed her finger at herself and then Judy while clearing her throat. She was trying to process what Judy just told her. Jackie was somewhat convinced that Hanson told Judy the dinner was to make sure the three of them could work together on good terms, but she felt like something was off and she wasn't sure if it was her nerves from being caught or her frustration with Hanson for inviting Judy.

"No," Judy ran her finger down the menu as she tried to find something that sounded good to her while Jackie took a few more sips of water. Hanson pointed out a few things on Judy's menu that she'd like before she continued. "You've worked with Hanson on a couple of cases before you broke up, and you've worked with me on several cases, but this is the first time all three of us have worked together." Judy put the tip of her finger to her chin in thought as she narrowed her decision. "And you and I have always gotten along…..But, then again." Judy zoomed in on Jackie's expression. "That was before today."

"Here's your water with lemon." The waitress sat the water on the table and took her pen and paper out ready to take orders. "Are you ready to order?" The waitress politely asked.

"Jackie?" Hanson tilted his head to the side while pushing his eye line toward the waitress prompting Jackie to answer.

Jackie was stuck in a small trance as she locked eyes with Judy. She was trying to figure out what Judy knew, but she couldn't read her. Hanson broke the trance when he called her. "Um…I think I'll just have the grilled chicken salad with a side of vinaigrette." She narrowed her eyes at Hanson in frustration as she handed the menu to the waitress. "I'm not as hungry as I thought I was."

Hanson cleared his throat. "Well, I'm starving." He glanced at the menu once more before he decided. "Oooo…pasta!...I'll have the chicken con broccoli with the Alfredo sauce and lots of bread…puleeeaaasse." He smiled at the waitress as he handed her the menu.

"I'll have what he's having." Judy chuckled as she scrunched up her nose. "Without all of the bread." She smiled as she handed the waitress her menu.

"I'm sorry Jackie, I didn't mean to interrupt you two when I came in." Judy placed her elbow on the table and rotated her hand in thought. "What was it you were talking about?" Hanson smirked as he briefly looked down while he scratched the corner of his mouth in anticipation. "Oh yes!" She snapped her finger. "You were saying something about Hanson still having feelings for you." Judy folded her arms while resting them on the table before she motioned her hand for Jackie to continue. "Please…..continue."

"Um…Well," Jackie glanced at Hanson with a look in her eyes that pleaded for assistance. But, he gulped his beer as he sat back in his chair resting his left arm on the back of Judy's chair awaiting Jackie's answer. "We were just talking about how he was still a little upset with me for being the reason for Fuller's suspension."

Tom's eyes narrowed in frustration. "And betraying my confidence to further your career, even though you're still in the same position you were in when I left." He took another gulp.

"I didn't betray your confidence to further my career." Jackie stiffened in her chair as she raised her brows while pointing down at the table with her index finger to stress her point. "I did it, because I wanted to protect you and your career."

"Come off it Jackie." Hanson removed his arm from Judy's chair as he leaned in. "You never cared about me or my career. The entire time we were together you pumped me for information to help your career." He grimaced as he slowly slid back into his chair. "It took me a long time to admit that, but after Fuller's suspension and the Mayor's kid O.." He shook his head in disgust. "I had to."

"Tom, I'm sorry you think that." Jackie dropped her head to the side momentarily before lifting it to meet her eyes with his. "But, I never used you."

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Hanson rolled his eyes. "You know, I can't help but think that if you would have stayed out of it maybe the Mayor's kid would still be alive." He added before he took another drink as he thought about the phone call he got from Fuller after the Mayor left his house the night they found the Mayor's son dead. Judy peered at Tom to make sure he was alright before placing her hands in her lap as she continued to listen.

She shook her head and pointed her finger in his direction. "You can't put that on me." She put her hand on her chest. "I was trying to protect you….I never wanted anyone to get hurt." Just when her emotions started to show, she put them in check. "I really am sorry you feel that way, but that was the past." She somberly added while shaking her head as she threw her hands up in defense.

"Jackie, why are you really here?" Judy searched her eyes for the truth as Jackie looked back at her. "I want honest answers." Judy sternly added.

"Just to talk." Jackie innocently stated. "I wanted to find a way for us to work together without Tom being so upset at me." She played her napkin in between her fingers. "Just like you said." She shrugged. "He's back now, and this will be the first of many cases that we'll work together. So, I wanted to make sure we were on good terms."

"Uh..huh..." Judy nodded as she crossed her legs while placing her elbow on the table resting her chin in the palm of her hand as she listened intently.

Jackie made eye contact with Judy. "I mean he's marrying you now and you're both working at Jump Street again. I just want to make sure he and I get along as well as you and I do."

Judy rapidly put her finger up as she sat straight up. "I'm going to stop you there." She smiled as she continued her eye contact with Jackie. "Because I heard what was said when I came in, and that didn't sound like a truce. It sounded more like a proposition."

Jackie dropped her head as she remembered her conversation with Hanson before Judy walked up to her. "Oh, that?" Jackie tossed her thumb toward her shoulder. "That was just a question that I asked, because he agreed to meet me here without you." Jackie forced a smile. "But, I didn't mean anything by it."

"How stupid do you think I am?" Judy's eyes shot through Jackie like daggers as Jackie tried to interject, but Judy threw her hand up in rapid motion as her attitude was starting to make an appearance. "I knew you were after Tom the moment I came out of Fuller's office and, I can't say that I blame you….But, he's taken." Judy stated with heavy authority in her tone. "If you're going to work with either of us, you need to respect that."

"Judy, I never said…" Jackie tried to defend herself, but Judy cut her off.

"See Jackie, Hanson told me everything you said to him." Judy confessed as a surprised expression spread across Jackie's face.

"Everything?" Jackie lifted her head in an exaggerated swallow as her fingertips trailed down the front of her neck and her eyes shifted to Hanson who gave her a quick smile.

"Ev..er..y..thing" She enunciated as Tom nodded proudly. "What?...You didn't think he'd tell me?" Judy licked her lips and frowned as she felt her temperature rise. "Jackie" Judy aimed her thumb in the direction of Tom. "This man has been my best friend since the day I met him. We've loved each other for five years. He's going to be my husband in a few weeks, so of course he's going to tell me his ex-girlfriend is trying to get him into her bed."

"I'm not trying to get him into bed." Jackie exhaled as she rolled her eyes. Hanson and Judy both looked at her like she was full of it. "O-kay…Since we're all being honest." Jackie's eyes shifted to Hanson's causing her to hesitate for a moment before slowly lifting her shoulders in nervousness. "I wanted to make love to him again." She dropped her shoulders as if a thousand tons were released from them. "But, I also really do care about him." She looked into Judy's eyes. "I miss him and I wanted to get him back."

"Why?" Judy slowly pushed her back into her seat as Hanson kissed her on her temple before excusing himself to use the restroom. Judy crossed her arms in confusion. "He's in love with me and quite frankly, Jackie I don't think he even likes you."

"I don't" Hanson clarified as he walked away.

Judy smiled and glanced in Hanson's direction as he disappeared before she continued. "See…So, why do you want him back?" She shrugged.

"He made me happy when we were together. He made me feel the way no one else has since we were together." Jackie played her napkin in between her fingers. "I think he may feel the same way, but he's afraid to admit it." Judy lifted her brows in surprise as she nodded. Jackie continued. "I think he feels like I'll hurt him again." Jackie looked at Judy apologetically. "Judy, I'm sorry." She added as she traced the rim of her glass with her fingertip. The waitress brought in the food and set it down. "I didn't mean to betray you. But, you have to know that I did it…"

"For love?" Judy cut her off as she grinned. "Do you love him Jackie?" Judy grilled her in a patronizing manner. "Is this the man of your dreams?...The one you've waited your entire life for?"

Jackie raised her brows. "You wanted me to be honest." She reminded Judy.

"I did and I still do." Judy nodded as she picked up her fork and stabbed at the chicken and broccoli. "I appreciate how honest you've been."

They sat in silence for a couple of minutes before Jackie finally answered Judy. "To answer your question…Yes, I love him." Jackie admitted. "I know that he's upset with me right now, for what I did to him and this is his way of getting back at me."

Judy frowned in confusion as she watched Hanson sit down. He donned the same confused expression as he started to eat. "Doing what to get back at you?" Judy asked as she turned her attention back to Jackie.

Jackie glanced at Tom. "Saying hurtful things and…" Her eyes shifted back to Judy. "Marrying you."

Hanson chuckled as he continued to eat. "Baby, I think we need to set her up with Andre." Judy tried hard not to laugh, but she couldn't help it. "They're perfect for each other." Jackie scowled at Hanson.

Judy's laugh slowly faded when she saw the way Jackie was looking at Hanson. "Okay, so you miss him and you want him back. I understand that more that anyone." Judy sympathetically added before she sipped her water. She leaned in closer to Jackie as she lifted a brow. "I know I messed up….I never should have let him go in the first place. If I would've held on to him," She moved her hand in a circular motion to include everyone at the table. "We wouldn't be in this situation today. But, we are." Judy sized her up as she calmly continued. "And the one thing that is just really." She briefly looked up at the ceiling for the right words. "Keeping me from reaching across this table and pulling out your esophagus followed by your spine one vertebrae at a time." She confessed in an oddly polite tone while Jackie rubbed her neck as her eyes widened in sudden fear. Hanson's face twisted in pain as he shifted in his chair. Judy calmly continued. "Is your honesty, I appreciate you being so blunt and honest with me." She exhaled. "So, I'm going to be blunt and honest with you." She tilted her head to the side as she burrowed her brows in thought while her eyes cut into Jackie. "I believe you mentioned the word love a little while ago. You believe that you love him and you think that he has feelings for you. So, you must know what it feels like to have him look at you like you're the only woman in the world and no one else exists….Did his kisses leave you so breath taken and weak in the knees that you never wanted them to end and when they did you'd crave just one more hit of his lips on yours?….You ever get caught craving him…just to taste him, to feel him, to be in that embrace with him like a junkie craves crack?" Jackie tilted her head to the side as she shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "How about what feels like to hear him say your name on the phone or from across the room and when he hits just the right tone it sends electric shocks of ecstasy through you as your body remembers what he felt like inside you the last time he said it like that." Judy smiled coyly as Jackie lifted a brow as she repositioned herself in her seat. "Or, what it's like to have him look at you with such passion and intensity that you can feel his touch even though he's across the room." A sly expression graced Judy's face as she shrugged. "Maybe you know what it feels like to have your entire body quiver at the sound of his voice in your ear while losing control of your senses at the feeling of his breath dancing across your neck as he whispers in your ear….How it feels to be loved so deeply by this man that you feel invincible when you're with him, and somehow still protected when you're not….And how it feels to love this man so much that it brought you physical pain for weeks after he left…. Do you know what it's like to be, so furious with each other that you'll yell and challenge each other….But before you put head to pillow you talk it out and agree or agree to disagree?...Or to be loved by this man so deeply that even when he feels like you've ripped his heart out, he not only forgives you, but he's still there for you and loves you more with each passing day….Do you know what it's like to feel the exact same way about him?...Or what it's even like to be in love with a man who is your best friend first?...Do you know what it's like to have trust on every level with someone that you don't get worried that they'll betray you, because he's proven that he has your back and you've proven that you have his?...Or maybe what its like to be able to talk to each other about everything?" Judy's eyes narrowed as she seemed to have burned a whole into Jackie as Judy watched a tear fall from her eye. "Is the love you have for him unconditional like the love he and I have for each other?...Is that the kind of love you're talking about Jackie?"

Jackie sat there for a moment trying to remember loving anyone in that capacity. Jackie's head shook as she locked eyes with Judy. "No" She raised her brows as she confessed. "No, it isn't" Jackie noticed the way Hanson was looking at Judy and she longed for him to look at her that way. He had so much love and appreciation in his eyes and his smile as he looked at Judy that Jackie couldn't bear to watch. She cleared her throat and raised her brows.

"I know it isn't." Judy answered abruptly. "So, are you done playing games or do you and I have to have a little talk in private?" Judy burrowed her brows in a threatening manner as she ran her napkin across her steak knife.

"Judy, you don't have to threaten me….I get it." She tilted her head to the side and shook her head. "I won't pursue him." Jackie agreed.

"Good enough" Judy nodded as she got up. "Then we're done here." Judy called for the check.

"Jackie's picking up the check." Hanson stood up and held out his hand for Judy to take it. "She said it was her treat."

"Thanks" Judy smiled as she leaned over the table to whisper in Jackie's ear. "By the way, Jackie I don't make threats….and I hate being disrespected." Judy warned as Jackie felt her heart jump into her throat before watching Judy storm out with Hanson close behind.

Tom and Judy's House

"You know baby….." Judy moved the magazine that she was reading away from her face, so she could look down at Tom. "I just had this amazing idea about how we can spend the next couple of hours before we have to go in." Hoffs sweetly suggested as she sat on the couch reading bridal magazines while Hanson laid his head on a pillow on her lap reading his car magazine.

A slow smile spread across his face as he dropped his magazine in his lap. "Mmgh…I love the way you think Miss Hoffs." Hanson replied as he started to lift himself up. "We just spent an amazing hour doing that, but if you're ready again…"

"Nice try" She giggled as she pushed him back down. "I'm talking about getting the list together for our Mothers. They have the guest list and the day…sort of…we just need to tell them what we want and where we want it."

"Yeeeaaahh…I knew what you meant" Tom cleared his throat as he raised his magazine back up and continued to read. "They're driving your dad nuts." Tom chuckled.

"Not just him…us too." Judy laughed and Tom nodded repeatedly in an exaggerated manner. "Why don't we invite our Mothers to the hotel on the beach this weekend since they'll be town?"

Tom swatted his magazine down as he looked back up at Judy. "Baby, why do you want to get married on the beach?" He wiggled a bit to get a better look at her as he moved his hand in a chopping motion as he continued. "We're going to Hawaii for our honeymoon, so I don't understand wanna get married on a beach too?" He shook his head as he snuggled down in his original position. "That's too much ocean for anybody."

"How do you know that's what I meant?" Judy dropped her head to look at him as he frowned at her. "Maybe I wanted them to go there so we could have the weekend alone?"

"Maybe you're just full of it and you're just saying that so, I'll say yes."

"(Sigh) Haaansooon…" She whined. "It's cheaper, so my Dad will love the idea. It will be at our favorite hotel….Its where we told each other we were in love with each other for the first time, so it has meaning….its symbolic." She started to get excited about the idea.

Hanson started to come around to the idea as he thought about it. "It does have enough room for the bachelor and bachelorette parties, and then we can have the reception there…."

"That's my man…you just keep prioritizing." She laughed as he got tickled too. "We could make a weekend of it."

"Then there's the cake, the strippers,….oh, and the food." He smiled as she playfully hit him with the throw pillow.

"You are just on a roll today aren't you?" She sarcastically replied. "But, the strippers are out."

"Tell that to the guys, because you know..." He sat up and tossed his magazine on the table. "The strippers wouldn't be for my benefit."

"Of course not." She shook her head as he smiled and dropped his head to rest on her shoulder. "I know you better put your foot down." She tossed her magazine on the table as she got up to grab the phone.

He grabbed her and pulled her down on his lap as she yelped. "Tom!" She giggled. "No, strippers…I don't care what Penhall has planned." She tapped his nose with her index finger.

"You mean to tell me that Miss Rachel won't have strippers at your party?" He asked as he rubbed the small of her back.

Her face lit up as she pulled herself up. "That's different." She smiled.

"How so?"

"It just is." She shrugged. "She's dating Penhall now, so I doubt my party will be too wild." She picked up the phone and tossed it at Tom. "Here…call the Moms and get them on a conference call and I'll get some paper."

"If I don't get strippers….you don't get strippers!" He stated with authority as she went into the next room.

"Fine!" She agreed.

"Jude, wait!" He pouted. "I think we should at least talk about it!"

"Nnnoooo" She frowned in thought as she walked back into the living room. "Hold on" She put her hand up. "Didn't you invite my Dad to your party?"

"We have to call our Mothers" He cleared his throat as he got up to hand Judy the phone back. "You call them and I'll write." He whined.

"You call them….and I'll strip for you on our wedding night." She promised as he quickly dialed.
