Chapter 50: I've got something to say
Jason and C.J enter the bar. They're laughing and smiling. He kisses her as he holds the door and has his hand round her waist.
The guys are all sat at a booth table already drinking
"I'll get some drinks" Jason nods over to Ray to acknowledge him as they enter the bar.
He stands behind her with his arms round her waist his hands rested on her swollen belly while they wait to order some drinks.
The bar man nods towards Jason "what can I get ya?"
"What you want?" he's in a really great mood now not only has he been signed back on active duty but they've just been for a scan of the baby
"it doesn't get much better than this" he thinks He looks at her as he kisses her neck
She thinks for a minute. What she wants and want she can have with Jason here are two different things
"Double whisky" she laughs
"errrr…. no I don't think so" Jason frowns and shakes his head at the bar man.
"Okay….. well Club soda then" she smiles as she looks at him frowning "Oh Jeez lighten up" she leans her head back and kisses him
he shakes his head "and I'll have a beer"
He's still stroking his hands on her stomach as they stand there. He snuggles in her neck again whispering in her ear while kissing the side of her head
"15 weeks wow can't believe that!"
"Shhh! Quiet!.. Jason will you keep it down" she looks around to make sure no one can hear and pushes his hands away from her stomach
"You sure you still don't wanna tell anyone?" he gives her one of his cute smiles
"No!" she sighs "Hey look...Let's just enjoy it ourselves first… yeah?" she coughs "plus you need to tell the kids and errrm …" she shakes her head "…Linda first!"
"Yeah!...yeah you're right … Shit!.." he takes a swig of his beer "...that'll be fun!"
"Yeah!.. she's gonna have enough to say about it without not being told first!" She sighs.
Linda's not something she's looking forward to. She might tolerate her for Jason and J.C's sake but like her?.. his Mother most certainly makes clear she does not.
She sips the club soda and sneers at the taste "urgggh!l... that's foul"
"You hungry?"
"So so. Not fussed"
"Let's go over there to the guys then"
o-o-o-o-o-o
"There's Jason and CJ" Davis nods towards them at the bar
Ray gets up He puts his hand up to Jason "Yeah! They're now coming, Jason's seen us"
Davis watches how they're behaving as they arrive, and she leans in and whispers to Sonny
"seriously they need to get a room" she nods towards them "look he can't keep his hands off her…. but it's kinda nice don't you think? After everything that's happened"
Sonny chews his gum and takes a deep breath as he shakes his head "That's cos he's stupid and don't think with his head where she's concerned!"
Davis frowns "Sonny can't you just lay off her sometimes?" she smiles "Don't you think she seems to have settled down a lot more now this past few month since what happened with his leg?"
"Hmmm!... I'll believe that when I see it for real!"
o-o-o-o-o-o-o
They head to the table Jason's happy mood is really noticeable to everyone "Anyone want tequila?"
"Hell yeah! I'm up for that boss! Especially if you're buying" Sonny laughs "Some sort of special occasion?"
"You wanna sit down?" Ray gives up his seat for C.J "You alright?" he frowns at her she seems a bit out of sorts
"errrm … no I'm just gonna go to the restroom" she smiles "but thanks. I'll be back in a minute"
Clay's watching her while he drinks his beer. "She okay? Doesn't seem herself?" Clay nods towards where she's just headed
"Yeah she's good" Jason turns around and looks as she goes "just some stuff on her mind...She's alright" he drinks some more of his beer. He frowns thinking she has been somewhat quiet since they left the scan.
Sonny arrives back from the bar with the tray of shots
"So what we celebrating here boss?"
Jason takes a deep breath "Oh I don't know? …. I Guess… me getting declared fit so I can get you rabble back in shape is a start" he laughs and raises his glass "yeah that and new beginnings" he smiles
"New beginnings!" they raise their glasses
"I'll get another tray" he heads to the bar
Sonny raises his eyes "now I like this kinda mood! Really though is he okay there Ray? he seems … I don't know? … overly happy for him?"
Ray shakes his head "I guess…he's just happy to be signed off the sick list ..maybe?..Get back to work"
"yeah I guess" Sonny frowns "seems something more than that?"
o-o-o-o-o-o-o
At the bar Jason opens his wallet to take out his credit card for the shots and he sees the scan picture and smiles.
He taps his wallet on the side of the tray as he carries the shots over to the table. He looks over at the rest rooms wondering if C.J's okay she's been gone a while.
"You Okay boss?" Clay frowns at him concerned as he can see him standing there thinking
he puts the tray down "Yeah fine...errm …." he coughs ".. Right listen up! I've... errrm... I've got something to say while I've got you all here"
He looks at the rest rooms again "errm…." he bites his lip wondering if he should wait or not
"What is it?" Ray frowns
"Hey, come on boss spill the beans. I knew you wuz hiding something" Sonny picks up another shot and necks it back "I know what it is! You liked teaching Green team and you giving up and letting Ray take charge" he laughs
Davis shakes her head at Sonny, but she's puzzled by what Jason might have to say.
Trent thinks he can guess what's coming as Jason told him where they were going but he's not sure if this is the time or place to announce it and he's got a feeling C.J's not onboard with it
"Look…errrm.. she'll probably kill me but … what the hell. You're gonna find out soon anyways we can't hide it much longer" he nervously laughs as he lays the scan pic on the table
Everyone looks at it then at each other. No one's sure how to respond. They all keep looking round each other hoping someone else will speak first.
Sonny's face drops, but finally he's first to break the silence
"Oh Lord! this... This is for real?"
"No Sonny its fake …. Yeah of course it's for real!"
"You mean you and…." He nods towards the restroom. "Like really…. she's got one in the oven again?"
Jason frowns he's not sure about Sonny's turn of phrase "Yeah! Yeah she has" Jason laughs
Trent shakes his head. He takes a deep breath guessing that C.J doesn't know he's just shared their news.
Clay looks at the picture and looks up at C.J as she heads back from the rest room
"What?"
she laughs as they all turn and stare at her as she come back to the table. She frowns as they all sit in silence looking at her "WHAT?"
Ray feels like he needs to show Jason some support "Okay!... well … here's a toast" he coughs as he raises the shot glass "Congratulations Boss…and C.J " Ray turns and looks at her "New beginnings!" they all follow raising their glasses and knocking them back
"Congratulations? what's going on?" she frowns more "Ray?" no one seems to be answering her then she sees the picture on the table
She looks at Jason her face drops "what the fuck! … Oh my god!... JASON!" she stares at him "I thought we agreed about this? You just had to didn't you! … Jeez!" she rubs her head
"Shit Jason… one thing I asked you not to do" she's lost for words with him, she shakes her head "you asshole!"
"C.J come on" he bites his lip and looks at her "they were gonna find out soon anyway you .. come on look …you can't hide it much longer"
She shakes her head and walks off
Ray raises his eyes shakes his head at him
"You got something to say there Ray?"
"Oh, come on Jace…surely you have to admit that was a bit stupid?" he sighs "Come on Man you should have waited or…" he shrugs "… at least told her you were gonna say something... am I right?" he looks away from him shaking his head "Look man at least go after her. Apologise"
Clay bites his lip and drinks his beer.
Davis looks at Sonny and sighs "wooahh! Shit that went well" she quietly mouths
"Woaah shit indeed!" Sonny sighs
Jason looks at everyone he does feel a bit stupid now but he didn't think she'd react that way "Okay... You're right I better go after her" he drinks more of his beer first "Shit!" he rubs his head.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"C.J!..Come on…. PLEASE…Look I'm sorry Okay!"
she's standing outside
"Look I get it I should have waited like you asked.. but …. I was kinda excited. I didn't think. Look you know I'm no good at this sort of thing" he puts his hands on her shoulders and rubs her arms He leans to try and kiss her
"Take me home!"
"Oh, come on its out there now … just stay. Let's get something to eat?"
"you've always gotta back me into a corner and do something I don't want!"
She shakes her head. She shrugs his hands off her and runs her hands through her hair
"What you mean always?"
"those tablets. Trent telling you about the baby and you telling them! No one asked me" she swallows her angry tears back "Maybe I haven't got my head round it yet? Maybe I needed some time after everything to accept it? Did you think that?"
"Hey, I thought you wanted this?"
"You thought… but you didn't ask!" she sighs "Give me the damn keys I'll take myself home"
"Come on Don't be like this…" he shakes his head "is it so bad that they know?"
"Give me the fuckin keys Jason"
"OK!...okay!" He gives her the truck keys and she walks across the parking lot not speaking
"CJ please … Oh… Jeez Christ!" he watches her drive off
o-o-o-o-o-o-o
They've all gone quiet at the table as he walks back in. No one knows what to say
"I'll get some more beers " Sonny looks at Davis "give me a hand"
Ray puts hand on Jason back in sympathy "she'll calm down just give her some time to cool off"
Jason nods and drinks what's left of his beer
"Sonny's gone to get some more"
Clay sits quietly contemplating while finishing up his beer.
He coughs before speaking "so errrm… how far along is she" the words just seem to come out of Clay's mouth without him thinking
Jason drinks his beer. Sonny looks up as he arrives back at the table with the beers he's willing Clay to be quiet
"Errrm … "Jason rubs his face "…about 15weeks. Well that's what they said today" He pics the scan pic up and scratches his head
"Shit!" He puts down the empty bottle and picks up a full one off the tray "Ray…Look.. will you give me a lift back I better go check on her"
"Yeah sure man not a problem but…" Ray puts down his beer " .. Look.. No rush though. Drink your beer give her some time to cool down .. listen trust me from experience the last thing you need is a row with a hormonal woman. Especially one like C.J"
they all laugh
Sonny rolls his eyes. "Hey how about you let me whoop your ass at pool first?" Sonny nudges him
"Yeah sure why not! You're right Ray I'll Let her cool down a bit first. Anyway, I don't know what the problem was you can already tell anyway... weren't gonna be long before someone noticed. It's not like she can hide it forever"
Ray and Trent look at each other knowing that's not gonna stop CJ being pissed at him.
"Come on man let's find this pool Cue so I can kick your ass first before she does!"
Clay's sat by himself thinking finishing off his beer he picks up another. He's looking at his phone as he hits send new message screen
Davis watches him "You OK, Clay?"
"Yeah sure" he looks up from his phone and smiles he cancels the send message screen "you want a game" he points at the pool table
"Yeah you want your ass kicked too?" she smiles
o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Clay sits in the dark of Sonny's apartment. He has the TV on but the sound is switched off
He's miles away holding the beer that he's not really drinking.
Suddenly his peace is shattered as Sonny stumbles out of the bedroom door. He's only wearing his short's and cowboy hat.
Lisa comes to the doorway wrapped only in the bed sheet. She leans up and kisses him
"Just get me my water cowboy then you can show me that move again" She's laughing and smiling as she hold the sheet covering her breasts but not much else. Sonny leans in to kiss her and pulls her towards him holding her butt and rubbing himself against her.
Clay coughs to let them know he's there!
"Oh Shit!" Lisa looks round Sonny's shoulder and tries to pull the sheet round her covering her exposed flesh "Sonny!" she nods
"ooops!.. Sorry Blondie didn't see you there. I thought you wuz asleep. We would never have…..errrm" he coughs "you know… if we'd have known you were still up!"
Lisa leans on Sonny with her head buried in his chest embarrassed "Look I'm just gonna …." she points to the bedroom "Sonny bring me that bottle of water?"
"Yeah sure thing Rodeo girl"
"Sonny!..." she shakes her head "...NO!"
"You OK there Poster boy?" Sonny frowns" you want anything?" he points to the kitchen where he's headed. He's worried about him "what's the matter with you not sleeping?"
"No, I'm good!" he holds up the bottle of beer that he hasn't drunk
"Oh OK! ..Don't be drinking too much!.. we'll be getting a call soon I'm sure!"
Sonny raids the fridge for a bottle of water for Lisa and a beer for himself.
Clay laughs about Sonny telling HIM not to drink too much he finds that amusing
"So, what's up?" Sonny asks as he comes back through he takes a swig of his beer
"Nothing just couldn't sleep"
"You in pain?"
"No! No, I'm good. Just …errrm …. doing some thinking"
"that painful? That errrm .. thinking stuff?" Sonny points to the bedroom "Look I'm sorry if we …. Errrm .. woke ya!"
"Nah you're good" he smiles "you get back. .. Don't worry about me. You don't get much time alone together you need to make the most of it"
"Hey blondie I've got as much time as you need! …so, spill. What's so important it's keeping you awake? Still getting them nightmares?"
Clay shakes his head then shrugs "I don't know… "he sighs "Just thinking about what happened at the bar… with Jason and …CJ"
"Yeah well stop thinking that's Jason's problem not ours"
He nods and sits quiet for a few minutes. He clears his throat "You think…errrm.. it'll work out … between them? …with a new baby?.. I mean" he shrugs "he didn't do the whole baby bit last time so this … this'll be different"
"Oh, Hell Clay why YOU worrying about this" he frowns but can see Clay's thinking about it for some time "Look … who knows with them!... fuck!" he laughs " I don't think even she knows one day to the next what she's doing"
he shakes his head " You know some days I think maybe she's finally got it figured out and sorted herself then…."he laughs again " then she goes whole fuck up mode again and throws some curve ball in there and I think nope she's still a pain in the ass"
he shakes his head and swigs more beer "I don't know Clay but you worrying about it aint gonna change a damn thing"
Clay frowns thinking "you think it was planned?... I mean having this baby?"
Sonny laughs nearly choking on his beer "HELL NO! .. Planned?...what the hell would make you even think that? … Jeez drinking and stupidity that's how that got there .. as normal!"
Sonny takes a deep sigh "Ok Serious now. What is it Clay?" He frowns a deep worried look at him "What's really eating you? Why you worrying your head about this?"
Clay shrugs "who said I was?"
"OK!...so why you sitting here in the dark not sleeping and thinking about it but you're not worrying?.. hmmmm?" he drinks more beer "OK Look man! I thought you were over all that?.… about her? You accepted what was going on there with her and Jason?"
"Yeah I have! No no I'm good about it …. I even got a date with that nurse, from the hospital!" he smiles
"Well that's good then! Moving on!... New beginnings" Sonny's still not convinced
"Yup moving on!" Clay raises his beer "New beginnings!" as he forces a smile
"So, what then? What's eating you these wee small hours?"
"I don't know I was just thinking the timing and maybe… just what if…." He stops as Lisa come to the doorway
"You got my water there cowboy?"
"Yeah sure" he hands her the bottle
"What's going on?"
"Nothing he's ok? that right little buddy?"
"Clay there something worrying you?" Lisa asks
"No nothing" Don't worry about me!"
"Hey, I'm always gonna worry about you!" Sonny frowns "I'm right here night or day You can come to me with anything. I mean Anything!.. you know that right? So, you got something you wanna say?... then spill it."
Clay wonders when Sonny became so in touch with feelings.
"Yeah thanks brother you're a good friend." He smiles "Now take your woman back in that bedroom"
Sonny smiles. He looks at Lisa she blushes "Yes Sir" he gets to the bedroom door. "you're good thought Right?" he frowns he's still not really sure what Clay's worrying about. "you would tell me if there was something?"
"Yeah I will be!" Clay smiles.
Just as Sonny goes to head in the bedroom a chorus of phone bleeping rings out
"Oh Dang! Looks like that's us done for tonight then"
"Yup Spin up timing is always so great!"
o-o-o-o-o-o
Davis is finding her clothes from the floor "you see my panties?" she smiles at Sonny
"Nope but did I tell ya you look better without them"
"Sonny this is not funny I need to get dressed did you not hear the phone?"
"Yeah but still we got time for another quick errrm … you know if you fancy it?"
"NO! No, we don't!" she nods to the doorway "Plus Spenser! Remember?"
"Hmmm yeah… I remember him the one sitting in the dark by himself worrying about things he can't change!"
"What's wrong with him Sonny?"
"Who knows?"
"What his problem? whys he up?"
"Says he's thinking about Jason and her and them having another baby and it's got in his head"
She shrugs "I thought he'd laid those ghosts to rest?"
"I thought so too but guess that opened it all up again"
She's getting her pants and T shirt on and sits on the bed she's gone quiet
"What? what you thinking now?"
"I don't know?" she shakes her head
"You don't know what?" he stands over and lifts her chin He leans in and gives her a long lingering kiss "You don't know what Davis" she smiles at Sonny "Hell!... you're not thinking about babies are ya?" he frowns "cos that is a whole another level on the Sonny Quinn life planner!"
"No!" she laughs "NO! What when OCS is looming errrm .. Hello!"
"OK Pheww! That's cool cos if you was then we need a whole long talk there"
She shakes her head "NO its Nothing"
"Yeah sure is something though?"
She shrugs "I was just thinking about Spenser and errrm… well You don't think he's wondering…. You know?"
"You know you'll make a great officer Lisa Davis cos you talk in bullshit riddles that no one understands"
she laughs
"you think he's wondering What?"
She bites her lip "well you know…" she shrugs "if its … his?"
"What the hell?! Why would he be thinking that shit?"
"errrm…Sonny!" she shakes her head
"What? Wait.. you saying you think it might be as well?"
"Well just thinking about the timing I'm just saying … there's possibility it could be"
"No. No! we not going that road again. Last time there was plenty of doubt all round this time Jason's one Hundred percent convinced"
"Yeah but maybe he just hasn't thought about it? Did you think that? might be why she was so pissed he told everyone? I'm just talking out loud I'm not saying its true"
"How would that even have been a factor?
"Look weren't they were sleeping with each other before Clay got took hostage right? so that's what …." she thinks in her head "I don't know about 3 half months ago so … I'm just saying it's a possibility and maybe that's what Clay's thinking?"
she looks at him "Look ..I'm not saying it's true…Just.." she shrugs
"Holy shit!" Sonny rubs his head and sits on the bed "Sweet Lord!.. Well we better just hope that thought goes away pretty damn fast"
Davis shrugs
"Get dressed Davis!... and listen forget we even had this conversation! Don't mention it outside of this room"
She nods
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"Hey! Look.. I don't have a white flag..but Truce?" Jason puts his hands up. He laughs as he's had too much to drink and its late "Look.. you're right I know I shouldn't have said anything You weren't ready for a public announcement like that. I get it. I do. "
She shakes her head "I just wanted bit more time"
"Hey, Look I'm trying to do better on the emotional stuff I know I don't get it right but come on its not so bad at least they know now, we don't have to keep pretending. Right?"
"It's not the point, I just needed to get my head round everything first. I mean they think bad enough of me as it is without thinking I'm even more stupid to let this happen again"
"Hey, I thought we talked about that this? It's not your fault it just happened OK? We're both to blame here"
He puts his hand rounds her waist and pulls her towards him "come here" he kisses the top of her head "It's gonna be fine you'll see"
"Have you been drinking?" she asks him as he kisses her
"A little" he smiles as he runs his hands round and over her butt
"Jason!" she pushes him back
"Hey come on.." He gives her that smile as leans in and starts kissing her.
She turns her head trying to ignore him, but he starts kissing her neck and pulling her T shirt up
She leans back "Jason stop!"
He moves his kisses down on her breasts now! Now she leans her head back
"Mmmmm!" she lets out this breathless sigh "Hmmm! ... you need to stop"
"Really?" he looks at her. "You want me to stop?" he puts his mouth back on her skin.
She closes her eyes and smiles "ohhh!... God" she bites her lip "Yes you need to stop"
He runs his fingers in the top of her lace panties "You sure you mean Stop?... cos OK then!" he nods whilst keeping watch on her reaction but he doesn't stop.
"you want me to stop this?" he kisses her breast again.
She looks him in the eyes and shakes her head "You know what?... hmmmmm!" She sighs "...NO!..No don't stop!" she smiles
"I didn't think so" he has this glint in his eye. She puts her hand down on his groin its bulging against his pants now.
"mmmmm! I'm sorry okay?" he whispers in her ear.
She nods
They hear Emma moving about in her room
"Come on. Let's go somewhere more private" he leads her through to their bedroom
He's soon undressed and she's lying naked on the bed. He's running his hands over her as he lays beside her gently and softly running his hand over her belly
"I don't tell you enough but you're beautiful!" he kisses her neck as he undoes his pants and pull his T Shirt over his head.
He runs his hand up the inside of her thigh. She takes a sharp intake of breath waiting on his touch
"oh shit!" his mouth is round her breast kissing and sucking "Oh god …Jason please" he positions himself between her legs.
And then just as things heat up his phone goes off. ## Bleep!## Bleep!
"Oh shit!" she leans back and closes her eyes "Ignore it!" she whispers breathless
"C.J I can't"
"Jason just ignore it! Please?" she's frantically kissing him she wants him so badly. "Okay…Just 10mins then" her eyes searching his. He picks his phone up and looks
"I gotta go!"
"Don't…. Just please?"
"I'm sorry I'll make it up to you when I come back"
"Just 10mins. You can't leave me like this!" she's frustrated
He looks at his phone again. Then leans in and kisses her.
Next he's on top of her "10 mins " he kisses her
She wraps her legs around him and smiles
o-o-o-o-o-o
"10 mins you said?" she frowns "that was more like 5mins" he lays beside her rubbing the soft skin on her arm with his finger tips
"sorry guess you got me more worked up than I realised"
"You know you owe me when you get back!" she looks at him. He keeps rubbing his hand over her belly in small circles
"You know I missed all this last time"
she closes her eyes not trying not to think about it. She sighs
"yeah it wasn't much fun last time for me either. I was in and out of rehab at my fathers requests last time. Then I suddenly had this baby! It was all a blur to be honest took me a while to cope"
He kisses her forehead as he looks at his watch
"Look.. sorry ..I need to go but we'll make it right this time. Just enjoy it"
She nods
He kisses her belly then come up face to face with her. He brushes her hair back and kisses her lips "We'll do it right!"
She smiles "Yeah whatever" she's suddenly conscious of how naked she is and looking at her belly she feels uncomfortable and unattractive
"I need to get dressed "
"Yeah I do need to go now!"
She sighs "Okay... I'll see you when you get back!"
He kisses her and grabs his phone as she wraps her dressing gown around her.
"Oh, my mother's gonna pick Mikey up for a few days and Emma going on some friends camp over thing so you'll only have JC to worry about"
"Yeah well don't forget you need to talk to Linda now you spilled the beans"
Oh shit"
"yeah Oh shit! Your problem not mine You were the one so keen to tell!"
She laughs as he rolls his eyes at the thought of telling his mother.
"OK well I'll see you when I get back... CJ try and behave while I'm gone?" he kisses her head
"I'll try" she smiles
o-o-o-o-o-o-o
