This fanfic will eventually (note the word eventually, coz it aint

gonna all be smooth sailing, but then again, what is) be a PJ and Jo

fanfic.

Disclaimer: hey, I don't own blue heelers of any of it's characters

(`cept for will, but he's dead, so you know). Its just a bit of fun

to write fan fiction for, ok? cool. The same goes for any brand names

and TV shows and songs and stuff. Ok then I'll start typing the story

now.

Rating: um I think I'll go with M for language

* * * * *

summary: after pj starts `dating' that doctor (who we all know will

leave soon and I've made it so she does heh heh), jo meets a nice

guy, will and starts to date him. This instalment of my story is set

after jo finds out she's pregnant, and tom, jonesy and pj know, but

no-one else does. Ok I know that in real BH tess and jonesy like each

other, but this fic is more focused on jo and jonesy's friendship,

and the relationship of pj and jo. all other characters are

mentioned, just not as much as jo pj and jonesy. Oh, and Tess isn't

pregnant in this one, either. And Ben has a girlfriend in this one,

her name is Bianca.

NOTE: whenever you see in a dialogue, it signifies quiet talking,

and (*), then a number, eg (*)1 is authors note, and the explanation

can be found at the bottom of the page, next to it's appropriate

number.

Oh yeh, I almost forgot, if I make it sound like PJ's a bastard. He

won't be like that later, I think I promise.

PREVIOUSLY IN LIFE GOES ON. (hee hee it sounds like stingers now.)

Jonesy put down the fork he was washing.

` yeh, well, next time you come to my place, you can wash my dishes

for me'

`phhht. good luck. I hate dishes. That's why I have a dishwasher,'

she pointed to her dishwasher. `but don't worry, no-one ever notices

my dishwasher' she laughed. Jonesy pulled his wet hands out of the

sink and put them onto Jo's shoulders. `so I did,' he looked at the

bench where he had put the washed dishes `three dishes, and NOW you

tell me you have a dishwasher?'

`hey, I didn't ask you to do the-' but she was cut off by Jonesy

leaning forward and kissing her before she could finish her sentence.

* * * * *

`Jonesy, I' jo said, gently pushing Jonesy away.

`yeh. sorry. I know you still love PJ, even after the way he treated

you' Jonesy said. Jo nodded, and looked at the floor. Jonesy

scratched his nose.

`friends?' he asked. Jo looked up, surprised.

`what?'

` I said, friends?' Jonesy held out his hand. Jo smiled and took it.

`yeh, friends'

Jonesy looked at his watch. `oh, shit look at the time. I gotta go.

see ya tomorrow, ok?' he turned to leave. Jo stopped him.

`Jonesy?' he turned around. Jo smiled.

`thanks'

Jonesy walked over to Jo. `what for?' he asked. Jo looked at the

floor, then smiled.

`for being my friend, for not cracking the shits when I said I only

wanted to be friends, for offering to be the dad if the baby if PJ

keeps going the way he is.. Shit that reminds me, I gotta ultrasound

tomorrow, for everything really... Yeh, thanks Jonesy' she sniffed.

Jonesy stepped forward and hugged Jo.

when they broke apart, Jonesy looked at the clock.

`I gotta go. see ya tomorrow. If you need anything, ring me' he

kissed her on the cheek.

`it's ok for your friends to kiss you on the cheek, right?'

jo laughed and nodded.

`yeh course it is'

Jonesy smiled. `ok, bye' Then he turned and headed towards the door.

`yup, see ya Jonesy' Jo said.

Down at the pub

Ben, Bianca, Tess and PJ were all still at the pub when Jonesy got

there. He tried to walk past quietly, but Ben spotted him.

`hey, Jonesy, where have you been?' PJ looked away, coz he already

knew. Jonesy noticed this.

`round at Jo's place. that reminds me, Peej, can I talk to ya for a

minute' PJ looked at Jonesy suspiciously.

`yeh, ok' he put his glass down and walked towards Jonesy. Jonesy

walked into the parlour. PJ closed the door behind him.

`what's up mate?' PJ asked.

`ok. I'm not gonna piss around here, Peej. Do you love Jo?' PJ took

an involuntary step back.

`what are you talking about?'

`PJ, I'm not stupid. I work with you, I work with Jo, Jo's my best

friend. Did you think no-one was gonna figure it out?' PJ put his

hands on his cheeks and looked at the roof.

`Yeh, of course I love Jo. I shouldn't have told her I didn't. why,

what did she say?'

`she does love you, she told me. coz I kissed her, then she pulled

back and said she couldn't do it to you, coz she loves you and she's

pretty sure you're the father of the baby'

`she's definitely sure I'm the father?' PJ asked.

`well, she can't be sure, she'll need a DNA test to be sure' Jonesy

said, trying to get PJ to know where the conversation was heading. PJ

looked at his watch.

`well, it's too late to go and see her now, so it'll have to be-'

`tomorrow night. she's not coming in tomorrow. She has an ultrasound,

then she's having the rest of the day off' Jonesy finished.

`right. Thanks Jonesy, I'll ring her tomorrow and tell her I'm

coming'

THE NEXT NIGHT, JO'S HOUSE.

PJ knocked on the door of Jo's house for the third time. He tried the

door. it was locked. He vaguely remembered Jo saying something in the

office a few weeks earlier to Jonesy about a spare key in the

electrical box near the front door. he opened it and easily found a

key, and tried it in the lock, and found that, yes, it was the right

key, and let himself in.

`hello? Jo?' he called as he walked down the hall. When he reached

the lounge room, he found Jo asleep on the couch in front of the TV.

On the table he saw an envelope with photos sticking out. he took a

couple of them out. when he found they were ultrasound pictures, he

sat down on the floor in front of Jo, leaning back against the

couch. He hadn't notice Jo wake and sit up.

`I had those done today' she said. PJ jumped

`it's so small' PJ commented.

`it's growing real fast. It's got a good set of feet, too' she said

quietly, moving down to sit on the floor next to PJ.

`did I miss anything at work today?' she asked. PJ shook his head.

`nah. I missed you, though' Jo stopped trying to braid the drawstring

on her jacket and looked at PJ.

`yeh? that's. that's sweet, Peej' PJ passed the envelope to Jo, who

put it on the table.

`Jo, I've been thinking, well for a while now, I know you're happy

here, but do you want to move back in with me and Ben? Coz if you

moved out because of me and Tatiana, well, that's over now, and I've

come to realise, '

Jo smiled. She thought she could see what was coming. PJ, however,

didn't notice this, as he had become quite interested in the blown

light bulb, continued his sentence.

`well, I've come to realise, that what I said ages ago in my office,

well I didn't mean it.' PJ looked at Jo, who tried very hard to look

confused.

`but what did you say? I don't think I-' she began, to be interrupted

by PJ.

`Jo, I love you!' Jo smiled.

`yeh, I know. I've been talking to Jonesy' she said, still smiling.

`god, you can't tell that guy anything, can ya.'

`well I can. I've told him heaps of stuff, and he hasn't told anybody

about' she turned to look at PJ. They looked at each other for a

couple of seconds before PJ leaned in and kissed Jo.

END PART 5

responsibility? (well I think we all know the answer to that)
