I own none of the characters. They belong to ABC
Janet walked into Best Friend Windows with a huge smile on her face. Today had been a good day and she couldn't wait to tell Eddie about it.
When the door opened and Eddie saw her, he smiled and motioned her to wait a minute. He was on the phone.
"Janet, what goes on?" Nick asked
"Just passing by. Are you hanging in there Nick?"
"Getting nervous. We should have the results in a week. It blows my mind to think that in a week, Eddie or I could be a father."
"Are you okay with becoming a father?"
"Terrified and thrilled beyond belief. I would finally feel that my life is complete."
"And Hannah? How are you with her?"
"That depends on the results I think. I am still mad as hell at her. I haven't spoken to her in three weeks but if I am Sam's dad. I will have to talk and be civil to her."
"I know that you'll do what is best for Sam."
"Hey there pretty girl. What brings you in?" He said as he quickly kissed her.
"I'm just having a good day and I wanted to make it better so I came to see you."
"How about a walk and you can tell me all about it." He said as he took her hand and led her out the door of Best Friend Windows.
"So, what goes on?"
"Well I went to the doctor's this morning and he released me back to a normal life."
"That's good." He said nonchalantly.
That's it? That's all he has to say. Okay, not the reaction I was hoping for.
"I met with the Dean of Nursing today also."
"And?"
"I have to take a couple of weeks to test out of my clinicals that I have already taken, and then I will be able to start my final semester when the next semester starts."
"Janet, that is so awesome. I am so excited for you. I am so proud of you." He said as he took her in her arms and kissed her.
Now, that's more like it. Janet thought
"So… I was hoping that you would want to celebrate with me tonight." She said softly
Hint Hint.
"Aww sweetie, I can't Nick and I are behind on a job, and I'm going to have to work late tonight."
"Oh. Okay. Would you like me to bring you dinner?" HINT HINT her mind screamed
"Naw, we grabbed subs at the deli, so we are just going to eat while we work. Thanks though." He said and he squeezed her shoulder.
They slowly headed back to BFW. Eddie kissed her goodbye in the doorway.
"I'll call you later." He said as he walked back into the office.
"Dude, I need tomorrow off." Eddie said to Nick as he walked into the office.
That night Janet paced her house. She couldn't understand why Eddie didn't mention making love. He knew that after her appointment today she would be cleared to have sex. He got his STD and HIV test results back last week and they were negative. Soon the dangerous thoughts entered her mind.
Oh, God. He changed his mind.
Now that the time is actually here, he can't go through with it.
He can't stand the thought of seeing me naked.
I should have known. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up.
He really doesn't love me.
The sound of her cell phone, pulled her away from her self destructing thoughts. Not even looking at the caller ID she answered
"Hello?"
"Stop it right now. I know what your doing and you need to stop" Eddie said
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"I handled this afternoon all wrong. You told me about your doctor's appointment and I kinda blew you off."
"Yeah dude, you kinda did."
"I blew you off because if I actually really thought about it, I would have taken you right there in the middle of the park."
Janet giggled but didn't respond.
"So, yes I was an ass who handled it all wrong. I had this awesome plan in my head and I wanted to surprise you, but as I was finalizing the details, it hit me how I acted and how you probably took my reaction."
"I'm fine."
"You are such a liar. Don't forget, I know you better than anyone J."
She sniffed.
"Now, listen to me. I love you. I didn't change my mind. I want to make love to you more than anything in the world."
My God, He's a mind reader
"Then why aren't you here in my bed right now?" Janet asked bravely.
Eddie groaned in delight.
"The reason I'm not with you right now, is that I won't be able to control myself and if I lose control, then my plans for tomorrow will be ruined."
"Plans?"
"I want to make love to you tomorrow, and I want it to be something so special that we will remember forever. So, pretty girl, I have taken the day off and I have arranged for you to have the day off and we are taking a weekend trip out of town."
"Really?"
"Really, we leave tomorrow and will be back home on Sunday."
"What kind of clothes should I pack?"
"If I have my way, you won't be wearing any."
Janet turned bright red.
"Honey, I'm sorry that I made you doubt our relationship today."
"It's not your fault. I just to have more confidence in myself."
"I promise you baby, I will make sure that happens."
Eddie picked her up at 10 the next morning. The drove quietly, holding hands. 3 hours north to a beautiful bed and breakfast. The town they were staying in had quaint little shops and a few other attractions.
They couldn't check into their room for a few more hours, so they went and grabbed a leisurely lunch. After lunch they went window shopping. Janet saw a few things that she wanted to buy on the way home. After what seemed like forever it was time to check in, but it was worth it. It was an absolutely beautiful room.
Their room was huge. It was done it light greens and blues. It had a king size bed in the middle of the room and a sofa. The bathroom was amazing and included a Jacuzzi tub. It was perfect for their first time.
As Janet walked around the room, closing the blinds, trying to make it as dark a possible, she became very uncomfortable and nervous. She has never been in type of situation before. Any time that she has ever had sex, it was as, the as the saying goes "wham, bam, thank you mam." Eddie sensed that she was a little apprehensive. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her.
"I love you so much." He whispered.
"I love you too." She said as she lifted her face to kiss him. They kissed very slowly. Their hands began to roam. Janet pulled away reluctantly.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
"Nothing I was just wondering if it would be ok if I changed. I kinda a bought a special nightgown that I would like you to see." She said looking at the floor.
"I kinda want to see it. Go change." She said as he patted her butt.
10 minutes later Janet opened the bathroom door, and she couldn't believe what she saw.
