Chapter 28

"IOKAGE!" A deep voice boomed from across the bar. "Over here!" Doug continued to shout as he flicked is wrist in the air.

Hanson was backwards in his chair with his folded arms on top of the back of the chair as he buried his chin into the nest he made out of his hand while narrowing his brows in thought. "Hey Harry" He grumbled while managing to pop his head up for a split second to catch a glimpse of his friend.

Penhall bit back a smile as he shook his head and gently pulled the sleep from his eye. "Hanson, man…..let it go."

"What's with him?" Harry backhanded Doug in chest before pointing at Tom while he sat down.

"Nothin'….What's so important that you had to meet all of us down here so late?" Penhall asked as he grabbed another slice of pizza. "You know." He added as he stuffed half of a large slice of pizza into his mouth. "Some of us have to work in the morning." He mumbled through his food.

"Doug, tomorrow's Saturday." Hanson looked at Doug in disgust as he handed him a napkin. "You should chew your food….So, you'll know what it taste like."

"It's pizza." Penhall sneered as he stuffed the other half the large slice in his mouth. "I already know what it tastes like." He added through a muffled voice.

Ioki closed his eyes for a second and shook his head while he scrunched up his face at Doug. "Where's Jude? I didn't see her earlier." He asked as he turned his attention to Hanson.

"Hanson let her pick up Clav from school." Penhall lifted his brows in sarcasm as he looked at Tom. "That's one of the rare occasions that he lets her out of his sight." Doug smiled before gulping his beer.

"I'm not that bad." Hanson sulked.

"Yeah, you are." Fuller confessed as he put his elbow on the table and pointed at Hanson. "When he has to leave the Chapel, he assigns someone to keep an eye on her." Fuller wiped his mouth as he continued. "He gave everyone in the Chapel a copy of every number he has, so we can reach him at all times."

"It's just a precaution." Hanson reasoned as he lifted his head and shrugged.

"She's not due for four more months." Ioki turned to Tom and gave him a curious look. "Hanson, cut her a break." Harry smirked.

Hanson shook his head. "I'm not that…"

Sal cut him off. "Tom packs her lunches and her snacks." Blowfish swallowed his beer. "And Penhall…I don't know why you're talking, because you won't let her carry anything or reach for anything." Sal pulled down his glasses at he watched Penhall recoil.

Doug sat up straight and stuck out his hand. "Wait…Tony's always trying to get her to sit down and Hanson makes him bring her files to her." Penhall looked at Hanson who was slowly running his thumb against his chin. "Oh…and her water when Hanson's not there to do it himself."

"For your information, I don't make him do that. He does that on his own." Tom frowned as he dropped his chin back into his hand. "No one asked him to."

"What about not wanting her to walk up and down the stairs outside of the Chapel without someone with her?" Fuller smiled at Tom.

"Her belly's a little bigger now," Hanson grinned as he tried to defend himself. "And those are very narrow steps she might get off balance and fall."

"Her belly's not that big." Blowfish laughed. "And she's not clumsy."

"It's bad enough I have to hear it from Judy, but you're supposed to be my boys." Tom looked around the table as they snickered. "You're supposed to be on my side." Tom put his fist to his chest as they laughed. "Okay!" Tom straightened up as he threw his hands up momentarily before putting them back on the chair, one hand on top of the other. "I love my wife and my baby!" He yelled. "Is that so wrong?" Hanson was getting frustrated at the way they were picking on him.

"No, but she doesn't need a babysitter Hanson." Fuller chuckled. "She's carrying a baby…not reverting back to one."

Tom cleared his throat. "To answer your question Harry." Tom changed the subject while they continued to laugh at him. "She's home with Clavo."

"How she doing?" Harry lowered his brows in concern. "I haven't seen her in a month."

"Other than the fact that Tom's driving her crazy?" Fuller quickly answered before biting into his pizza.

Hanson cut his eyes at Fuller before turning back to Ioki. "She's good" Tom's hands glided out of position as he smoothed them up and down the sides of the chair. "She got her energy back and her mood swings and nausea and all of that other crap is gone, so I finally got my wife back, which is very nice." He chuckled as he made eye contact with Harry. "She can feel the baby kicking."

"Can you feel it?" Doug added as he hovered over his section of the table.

"Nope" Hanson admitted as he moved his head side to side. "Not yet."

"I couldn't either." Doug confessed.

"Neither could I" Fuller paused with his pizza in mid-air. "From what I can remember, she'll feel it for a couple of weeks before we can. So, don't worry about it. All that matters is that she feels it." He reassured them as he continued to eat.

"What do you want it to be?" Sal asked as he wiped the sauce from his mouth before taking a drink.

"Oh…I don't care, as long as it's healthy." Hanson sincerely admitted as he examined his pizza with both hands in mid-air before taking a bite.

"Yeah…yeah…Seriously, man Judy's not here." Doug swallowed his beer and kicked his head back. "Boy or girl?"

"Honestly" Tom shrugged as he chewed. "I don't care." He swallowed slowly as he looked around the table at his friends peering back at him. "Alright!" He took a drink and nonchalantly added. "A girl"

"A girl?" Penhall sized him up. "You're gonna teach your signature no-look slider to a girl?"

"Yeah" Hanson narrowed his eyes at Doug. "Why not? I think it'd be cool to have a girl first and then we can have a boy in a few years." He took another bite of his pizza.

"You want more kids?" Fuller took a swig of his drink. "Does Judy know this?"

"Of course, we talked about it." Hanson gave a Fuller a look as if to say 'duh?' before he explained. "We don't want two of them in diapers at once, so we'll wait three or four years and then we'll have another one. She's wants a boy first so our daughter can have a big brother." Tom gave way to a faint smile. "But, it's whatever we get and in whatever order. As long as he or she is healthy."

"One was enough for me." Fuller exhaled.

"Me too" Blowfish dropped his head and let out a deep sigh before lifting his head. "But, somehow we ended up with four." Everyone smiled except for Sal who suddenly looked like he was in pain.

"You still with Rachel?" Ioki kicked his head in the direction of Penhall.

"Today" Doug laughed as he fanned his hand from side to side. "I'm joking….Yes, we're still dating. We'll see where it goes." Penhall answered as he did a double take when he saw who was fast approaching their table.

"You wanna tell me what the hell that shit was about Hamburger!" Booker yelled as he walked up to Hanson who was now on his feet.

"Are you referring to the cracker jack operation you're running?" Hanson scowled as he got into Booker's face. "You almost trashed three months of surveillance and…."

Booker grimaced and stepped back in shock as he put his hand to his chest. "I almost trashed…?" He glanced at Doug before looking at Tom again. "You and Penhall stumbled into my case."

"Bullshit Booker!" Hanson yelled as watched Doug standup out of the corner of his eye. "We've been watching that house and we've never seen you there!"

"That's because I was there before you." Booker beat his finger into his chest. "I'm the one who got into that house four months ago and set up the mics and wires, so I don't have to set up shop in the house across the street like some low budget cops."

"Low budget cops?" Hanson balled his fist at his sides. "Let me tell you something Booker…."

"Whatever, look" Doug cut his arm in between them before his body replaced his arm. "Why don't we just pull our resources on this one and work together?"

"I'm not working with him." Hanson protested. "All that pencil pushing behind that soft plush desk made him sloppy." He pushed Doug out of the way as he shifted his eyes up and down. "Not, that his cases were ever wrapped that tight to begin with."

Booker looked up in thought as he put his hands at his waist before glaring back at Hanson. "I seem to remember one of my cases that, was tight enough to get your ass outta prison." Booker sneered.

"You put me there!" Hanson shouted before clinching his jaw and speaking through his teeth. "So, that wasn't out of habit that was out of guilt."

"Whatever Hamburger," Booker gritted his teeth. "Just stay out of my way."

"What do you mean stay out of your way?" Hanson shifted his weight. "This case is official police business not an episode of Magnum P.I." Tom squinted his eyes in anger. "You need to cease and desist."

"You both need to stand down." Fuller rose to his feet as he dropped his napkin on the table. "This isn't the time or the place for this." He looked at Tom and then Booker. "Sit….Down" He calmly added.

"Uh..Uh…I think I'm going to call it a night." Hanson continued to glare at Booker as Booker sat down.

"I'm getting married in Vegas tomorrow and I wanted to see if you guys would come." Ioki quickly rambled without taking a breath until after he was done.

Everyone had a stunned expression on their face not knowing exactly what to say. Hanson dropped into his seat like a sack of potatoes. "You what?" He tilted his head back slightly and cleared his throat. "You're doing what?...When?" He was completely lost as he rolled his hand around while his head gravitated forward. "Start over….Booker's a jerk and you were getting married…" Hanson turned to Ioki while Booker shot Hanson an evil eye.

"I'm getting married this weekend." Ioki rocked his head up and down as he looked around at the shock on his friend's faces.

"To who? That woman you've been seeing in D.C. that you think you like enough to get serious with?" Penhall curiously asked in a slightly panicked tone.

Ioki shook his head. "No, I ended that right after Hanson and Jude got married." He turned to Tom. "After hearing your vows, I decided that was what I wanted and I didn't have that with her. So, I ended it." He calmly answered as a smile of a person in love spread across his face while he glanced up at the ceiling and exhaled. "This is the girl that I've been dating off and on for the past three years. We've always loved each other, but something was always getting in the way." He frowned at Doug and then Hanson. "Like our schedules not matching up enough of the time, or my partners going to Florida for spring break when they were supposed to be on a case." His voice was deep in sarcasm as Doug and Tom traded glances. "I know…I know…you were on a case." Harry reluctantly added.

"Thank you!" Doug shouted and Ioki winked in acknowledgment.

"Aaahhh….Staci" Tom nodded. "From San Diego."

"The one and only." Ioki pointed at Hanson.

Hanson scratched the back of his head. "I don't know Harry" Tom glanced at Penhall with uncertainty before looking at Ioki. "Don't you think you should wait until you know its right?" Hanson rotated his hands around each other in a circular motion. "You know, maybe live with her for awhile. Because, you know this woman." He uncomfortably shifted in his chair. "But, you don't know this woman. What it's going to be like for you to be with her day in and day out."

"I know its right." Harry confidently stated as he started to get a little worked up. "If you guys don't want to get behind me on this…" He slapped his hands on the wooden table.

"No one's saying that we won't support you." Penhall licked his lips and shrugged as he shared an uncomfortable look with Hanson before meeting his eyes with Harry. "We just don't want you to do this, just because..." Doug lifted his brows as he leaned in and lowered his voice. "You're lonely."

"Doug, I'm not lonely." Harry frowned. "I have my grandmother, you guys, Clavo, Judy, baby Hanson in a few months, and now I will have Staci with me."

"I don't know, Iok….I mean marriage is a big step." Penhall reclined back in his chair as he watched the last sip of beer swirl around the bottom of his glass. "I would hate to see you rushing into something like this without thinking it through a little more." Doug sincerely added before finishing off his drink. "I don't want you to get hurt."

"This coming from the guy who married a woman he knew for a week?" Harry directed his hand at Penhall as Doug turned his head to look around the bar in the opposite direction. Harry noticed Doug's reaction, so Harry tilted his head back before apologizing. "Look, Doug….I didn't mean anything by it, it's just that your giving me advice when you didn't even take it yourself."

Penhall swiveled his head back in Harry's direction as he sulked. "We're talking about two very different situations, and you know it."

Booker realized that the conversation was getting a little tense. "Harry, why don't you just date her a little while longer until you're sure?"

Harry dropped his head and fidgeted with his keys. "I'm getting married in Vegas tomorrow." He looked into the faces of his friends. "I want you all to be there."

Hanson and Penhall shared a concerned look before turning back to Harry. "Yeah...yeah" Hanson nodded. "We'll be there." Tom confirmed.

Ioki smiled as they all looked around at each other for confirmation before nodding to Harry. "Good, you'll have to call and get your flight numbers and make your reservations if you're staying overnight. We'll do it as soon as you get there and if you don't show up by eight tomorrow night, then we'll do it without you." He smirked. "Staci and I are taking the red eye. We want to do the whole Elvis and Priscilla theme before we lose the nerve and plan a regular wedding." Harry announced as everyone got up and got ready to leave.

"Are we really doing this, because…." Penhall whispered to Hanson on the way out.

"What else are we supposed to do?" Hanson discreetly answered as they walked outside. "He's going to do it whether we're there or not. So, we have to be there."

Penhall rubbed the back of his neck. "I guess Jude will have Clavo until I get back." He looked at Hanson. "Will you tell her or do you want me to call her?"

Hanson looked at Penhall like he was crazy. "I'm not leaving her here." Hanson put his key in the car door.

"Then, I need to call Rachel and see if she can watch the four-footer for me." Penhall exhaled as he got his keys ready to unlock the door to his truck.

"If not, you can call my mom. She might want to get some practice in." Hanson smiled.

Judy and Tom's House

"Tom?" Judy groggily called out from under the warm covers of their bed.

"It's me, baby." He answered as he snuggled down into the covers next to her.

"Mmm…you smell good." A sleepy smile graced Judy's face.

"I took a shower in the other bathroom. I didn't want to wake you." Tom used his finger to trace the line from her neck to her shoulder. "How are you feeling?"

"Better….now you're home." She confessed in a sleepy voice. "Did you lock the door?"

"Yes" He slid his arms around her gently moving his hand up and down over her growing tummy.

"Did you remember to check on Clavo?"

"Yes" Tom cleared his throat. "How do you feel about going to Vegas tomorrow?"

"I'm a little tired, so I might have been dreaming." Judy started to turn over to face him. "Baby, did you just say Vegas?" She squinted her eyes trying to focus.

"Yep" Hanson started laughing. "Harry's marrying Staci in Vegas. They want an Elvis and Priscilla themed wedding."

"That's not funny." Judy smiled at Tom's amusement.

"I'm not joking. That's why he asked us to meet him tonight." Tom covered his mouth to yawn.

"Staci from San Diego?" Judy asked while Hanson nodded. "What happened to what's her name in D.C.?"

"He said he wasn't in love with her." Hanson shrugged. "I don't know."

"You don't know?" Judy frowned. "Hanson, call him and talk him out of it."

"We tried." Tom explained as he gently pulled Judy closer. "We all tried. He said that he's doing it whether we're there or not. Penhall thinks he's lonely."

"He is." Judy started to sit up.

"I know, baby." Tom pushed the covers down to give her room to move. "But, he's a grown man and he's one of our best friends. So, we'll try to talk some sense into him again tomorrow and if we can't…." He sat up and leaned back against the headboard.

"We'll support him." Judy completed Tom's thought as he massaged her lower back. "I don't have to go Tom. The baby will be here in four months and he's not going to be cheap."

"No, she won't be cheap." He chuckled and she did too. "Don't worry about that we have money put back if we need it." Tom kissed her shoulder. "Judy, I'm not leaving you here."

Judy ran her hand over their growing belly as she giggled. "I don't need a sitter Hanson." She turned to look at him as he continued to rub her back. "I'm not a baby…..I'm having a baby."

"Correction….You are my baby." He smiled as he scooted closer to her placing his hand over hers as he kissed the edge of her shoulder. "You both are…and you're not staying here." Hanson started leaving a trail of kisses from her shoulder to her neck until she turned her head to kiss his soft lips. She moved slightly closer to him and placed her hand behind his neck as she gently stroked it while kissing him seductively and with intent before he positioned her on top of him. "I love week 19." He playfully added as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Judy dropped her head back and laughed. "Only, because I'm going through a 'nympho' phase."

"Mmm..huh." Tom smiled as she started passionately kissing him again while she strummed her fingers through his hair.

The plane ride back home

"Hey Jude" Penhall rested his arm top of the airline seat in front of Judy. "Uh…Can I talk to Hanson for minute?" Doug gave her the sweetest face he could muster. "Pleeease?"

"Sure" Judy smiled as she folded her hands in her lap and looked up at him with interest.

"Trade seats with me." He pouted as he moved his hand in the direction of the stewardess. "Before she comes over here and lectures me on airline safety!" He added in a loud whisper.

"Alright…alright" Judy giggled as she started to get up.

"Hey" Hanson tugged at her shirt prompting her to bend over and quickly kiss him.

"I love you." She smiled as she straightened up and scooted around Doug.

"I love you too." Hanson licked his lips and sighed as he watched her stroll down the aisle and take Penhall's seat next to Booker before turning his attention to Doug. "What's up?" He snuggled down into his seat as he clasped his hands together and rested his head on the back of his seat.

"Man, I can't believe they actually dressed up like Elvis and Priscilla." Doug looked at Hanson and they both broke out in laughter.

"Harry's always loved Elvis and Bruce Lee." Tom looked back at Doug. "He said that they'd have a real wedding on their one year anniversary, but the Elvis thing was something they both wanted to do."

"So, I guess this just leaves me and Booker?" Doug cozies down in his seat and dropped his head back to rest on the headrest. "How could you let this happen?"

"Me?" Hanson frowned as he allowed gravity to pull his head in the direction of Penhall without lifting it from the headrest. "Listen," Hanson rocked his head side to side. "I tried to talk Ioki out of it before he got dressed. But, he was determined." Tom softly added as he shifted his eyes up and down. "Besides" He shrugged. "Mac and Fuller are still single."

"Yeah (Sigh)" Doug stared ahead. "I guess that makes me feel better." He turned to Hanson. "Even though Fuller's determined to not get married again and Mac is like." Doug chuckled. "Twelve"

Hanson got tickled as he looked ahead. "How are things with you and Rachel?" He twirled his thumbs around each other. "Man, I thought you two were serious."

"We are…at least I feel like we should be." Penhall donned a bright smile. "She's amazing and I love her, but I'm just not ready for the whole marriage thing right now."

"Not ready for marriage?" Hanson's searched Doug's face for an honest reaction. "Or not ready to marry her?"

Doug gave way to a faint smile as he thought about it for a second. Tom waited for an answer while Penhall looked off at nothing in particular. "Being in a relationship with her and living with her are two totally different things." Doug pushed his hair back as he started to laugh. "It would be like living with you."

Hanson cleared his throat. "So, you're afraid she'll either kill you or leave you?"

"Yeah," Doug nodded. "She's punctual, neat, organized, and I'm…"

"Not" Hanson quickly added. "Look, just because we almost went to blows the three weeks I lived with you before Judy and I got married doesn't mean that you and Rach will."

"Me and Dorothy broke up for the same reasons." Doug lightly backhanded Tom in the chest as he brought up what was really bothering him. "She was always on me about being late, inconsiderate, messy, unorganized, and I don't want to lose Rachel because I haven't changed."

"Clavo has made you more organized, neat and considerate. You're a good father and you're a good friend." Hanson ran his hands through is wavy brown locks. "You just have to take a chance if you think she's worth it."

"I don't know." Doug's eyes shifted upward in thought. "I don't know if she's ready to be a mother yet. She knows me and Clavo are a package deal, and I think it scares her." He turned to Tom as Doug ran his fingers back and forth across the corner of his forehead. "I just hope I'm not wasting my time….or hers."

"Walking into a ready made family would be hard for anyone. But, Rachel is the type of person who would walk away if she didn't want to be there or if she thought she was wasting her time." Tom raised his brows as he jabbed his finger into Doug's shoulder. "If you love her, and you think there's a future with her. Then it's not for nothing. Just be patient, Doug. You'll know when it's time."

"Time's up." Judy popped up in front of Doug. "Gimme my husband back I miss him." She demanded.

"We're almost home. You can't go the rest of the plane ride without him?" Doug pouted.

"Nope" Judy confessed as Doug turned to Tom and Tom smiled and shrugged. "Get up Douglas." Judy smiled as she looked at Tom in adoration.

"Fine" Doug whined as he got up. "That kid's making you bossy." He added as he briefly put his hand on her tummy.

"She was already bossy." Hanson interjected as Judy scolded him with her eyes. "Sorry, honey…but, you were." He kissed her as she took her seat back. "Here read this." Hanson handed her a magazine.

"Um...I wasn't bossy before...I think that was you." Judy pushed herself away from Tom while staring at him.

Tom shifted his eyes to meet hers. "I think you're right...I'm sorry." He smiled nodding his head once.

She scanned the front of the magazine cover before slapping it down on her lap. "Hanson, if you give me another parenting magazine." Judy gave him a once over. "I'm going to inflict pain somewhere on your body."

"You'll get used to it and so will I." Tom continued to read his magazine as Judy pouted while skimming through the magazine he gave her.
