A/N: I'm bringing Rafe back a little bit early because I've got a situation ready for him that he really needs to be a part of but since he comes the day before they decide to blow up Pearl Harbor that won't work so I'm bringing him back at the beginning of December instead of the sixth. K?
Secrets
Chapter 4:
Jamie stopped in mid stride. He hadn't taken it the wrong way. She almost let her heart leap for joy but instead she shook her head and kept walking. Danny realized she wasn't going to stop and ran after her.
"Jamie wait," said Danny grabbing her arm.
She stopped and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"We're not going to throw you out. We just have to make sure that no officials find out. Even then you've done an amazing job I'm sure they'd keep it hush hush. Please, don't go."
Jamie looked at him and he was almost in tears. She turned around and hugged him tightly letting those tears fall. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. Sobs racked her body and she fell to her knees. Danny dropped with her to keep from falling himself and held her stroking her very short hair.
"I'm sorry I decieved you," she sobbed quietly.
"It's ok, I'm glad you did. Now I get to meet this beautiful person who was in that picture. So, you've been telling your mother you were a nurse? I bet she just loves that."
Jamie let go of him and laughed sitting on the hard floor of the hanger.
"Yeah, she keeps wanting to come and see me but I have to keep making excuses because I'm not really a nurse." sighed Jamie.
Danny smiled and mischeivous smile at her.
"Danny Walker what are you thinking?" asked Jamie wiping the tears off her face and smiling.
"Well I got a couple nurse friends over there. Maybe we could have your mom to Hawaii for a lil while."
Jamie couldn't believe she was actually considering this.
"Danny you make my mind think in more ways than its ever thunk before."
"Is thunk even a word?" asked Danny smiling.
"I don't think it was before now because I'm makin' it a word," said Jamie sternly.
"Ok then. Would you like me to get in touch with a couple of friends and see what I can do?" asked Danny.
Jamie thought about it for a second before saying, "yeah, I think my mom should see me at least once."
Danny smiled and helped her up.
"May I walk you back you the barracks?" asked Danny.
"Sure can, but you can't take my are Danny, cuz that would make us look a lil on the queer side and that'll get us both thrown out," laughed Jamie.
Danny laughed and Jamie started to walk out and abruptly stopped. She ran back into the hanger and grabbed her uniform shirt and threw it on hitting the lights as she walked back to where Danny was standing. He was standing in the pitchblack and didn't notice her reach him until her felt something gentle brush his cheek and saw a dark outline standing to his right.
Jamie was sure her face was glowing in the dark. That the red from her cheeks could be seen clear to the Arizona. She could see Danny trying to figure out what just happened and she went to move on.
"C'mon Danny, it's late. If we stay out much longer we're bound to get lost."
She took a step forward and her boots clunked on the ground letting himk know exactly where she was. He reached out and closed his hand around her arm pulling her back.
"Danny!" exclaimed Jamie turning to look at him,
And when he saw her hair fan out and her profile look up at him he took the opportunity to giver her a quick kiss before starting off.
Jamie stood shocked, she pressed her hand to her mouth and tried to hang on to that brief sensation.
"Jamie? Are you coming?" called Danny who was already a good fifteen feet from the hanger.
Jamie stirred from her reverie and jogged over to him saying, "yeah."
They reached Jamie's room and she leaned against the door and stared at him trying not to drool.
"Do you want to come in for a minute?" asked Jamie.
Danny seemed to think for a second on wether or not this was a good idea.
"Sure," he said before he had time to think it over.
She smiled at him and opened the door. He followed her in and sat down on the bed. She wandered around sporting a rose color across her cheeks.
"Jamie, for godsakes sit down before you hurt yourself." said Danny.
She stared at him for a second and sat down in a chair across from him. She stared nervously around the room and glanced back at him. He laughed lightly and reached a hand behind her neck and pulled her face towards him and kissed her. She was taken by shock at first but eased into it and relaxed some. Danny thought it wise to leave her room about an hour later before things got a little out of hand. She sighed before changing and going to sleep. At least the object of her affection knew that she loved him.
The first of Decemer rolled around and Jamie's mother would be here in the next couple of hours. Danny had managed to get the entire nurse staff to let her be a nurse for a few days to please her mother and all in all thought it would be quite amusing. She was lined up to have Danny meet her at the airport and bring her to her at the hospital. She looked at the white outfit that was sitting on her bed in the barracks and looked for a small duffle bag to put it in. She found a small bag and left the barracks as Jim and when she arrived at the hospital she changed and became Nurse Jamie. She came out and laughed at herself in the mirror.
"I could never imagine myself wearing this out of my own free will," laughed Jamie to another nurse named Sandy.
"It suits you though," replied Betty, yet another nurse and girlfriend of Red.
Jamie turned and smiled laughing again. She placed the small white hat on her head and sat down on one of the beds swinging her feet which had little white shoes on them.
"Jamie, come here, we'll have you treat Dee, the intern. Just so it looks like you're doing something when your mother arrives. All you have to do is make it look like you're bandaging her arm. Matter of fact, Sandy, would you go and accidently cut Dee really bad?" yelled Evelyn, another nurse and Rafe's girlfriend.
The other nurses had found it highly amusing and impressived that she was a girl and leading a man's life and promised to keep it under wraps. Sandy smiled at the request and the rest sat around waiting. A few minutes later there was a loud scream followed by the apology of Sandy who they all knew wasn't sorry at all.
"Ohhh hurry up here come's Danny's car!" said Betty excitedly.
Evelyn peered out the window and Sandy brought in Dee. The wound would need stitching.
"Can you sew?" asked Evelyn.
"Some, I can hem things." replied Jamie.
"Perfect. Hem her arm. Clean off the blood sterylize and sew. I'll get you a needle ready."
Evelyn bustled off and Jamie began cleaning the wound. She'd gotten a similar one just about a month ago when she managed to slice her arm open on a jagged piece of metal that was laying around. Evelyn returned as Danny and Mrs. Johnson walked in the door. Jamie pretended not to notice. Evelyn handed Jamie the needle and she began stitching the wound shut. She cleaned it once more and stood back.
"There ya go Dee, all better." smiled Jamie and Dee gave her a dirty look before leaving muttering something about imcompetent nurses not watching where they were going.
"Hello baby doll," said a voice Jamie thought she'd gotten rid of for good.
She turned around and was met with the face of her mother. Aged but still the same. Long blonde hair and misty blue eyes. She was glad she had her father's eyes because her mother's were just ugly.
"Hello mother."
"Nice boyfriend you've got there, and quite handsome if I do say so myself. Reminds me of when I first met your father."
"Oh boy here we go," said Jamie sitting down on a nearby bed.
Jackelene went on about how she met Amos and then broke down into tears over his death. Jamie rolled her eyes and looked to Danny for help.
"Mrs. Johnson, why don't we take you on a tour of Pearl Harbor? You're only going to be here for a few days."
"That would be lovely, thank you Danny," said Jacklene.
Jamie rolled her eyes and grabbed her duffle back and threw it in the back of Danny's car before climbing in with him and her mother.
"This is going to be a long two days." sighed Jamie.
The day that Jamie's mother left was the greatest day of them all. She'd diven Jamie insane. When she left and Danny and her returned to the barracks she knelt down and kissed the runway. Danny laughed and walked with her to start her duties as a mechanic. He sat and talked to her while she fixed the machine guns on a P-40.
He walked around to the front of the plane where she was working and put his head on her shoulder. She looked over her shoulder and smiled. It would have looked really bad for anyone else to walk by though because she still had her short hair and it was shorter and spiked. And to everyone else she was still Jim, Jimmy, Jim, and Fix-All J. But Danny and Jamie didn't hear the footsteps walking into the hanger at seven oclock at night. Infact they kept right on laughing.
Jamie finally had had enough of the close but no touching and kissed him. He kissed her back and she dropped her wrench that made a loud clattering sound on the hard floor. She looped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. At that moment a voice rang through the hanger and at close range.
"Danny!? Jim!? What's going on in here?!"
They jumped apart and turned to see Rafe standing right behind them with his bag sitting on the floor.
A/N: I'm bringing Rafe back a little bit early because I've got a situation ready for him that he really needs to be a part of but since he comes the day before they decide to blow up Pearl Harbor that won't work so I'm bringing him back at the beginning of December instead of the sixth. K?
