Week 32

Lily took Maya's hand as they walked through the parking lot. They were meeting Jordan and Nigel at the beach.

"Beeeeeeeeeeeee." Maya squealed as she dug her feet into the sand. Bug chuckled as he spotted Nigel and Jordan. Woody was with them. Nigel was waving. God, he looked like an idiot in his shorts.

"Hey there, Pumpkin." Jordan scooped Maya up.

"How are you feeling?" Lily asked as she kissed her cheek.

"Amazingly well." She said, "Woody brought a packed lunch."

"He's a regular boy scout." Nigel said.

"No I'm not I just come prepared." Woody said, "We have sandwiches, salad, both macaroni and fruits, and Kool Aide for the little one." Lily chuckled.

"Thank you so much, Woody." Lily said, "That's very thoughtful." Bug nodded watching Maya hug Woody's legs.

"Um...I have something to tell you." Jordan said.

"What's that?" Lily asked. Jordan smiled at Woody and then looked back at her friend.

"Nigel already knows and I couldn't keep it from you for another hour." Jordan blushed. She held up her hand and the sun sparkled on a very large diamond ring. Lily's eyes widened.

"Oh my god." Lily grabbed Jordan's hand and stared at the ring. "You're engaged! You and Woody are engaged!"

"Wow!" bug said. Jordan nodded.

"He's trying to tame me." Jordan chuckled.

"You could never be tamed." Lily hugged Jordan tightly.

"No she can't." Woody picked Maya up.

"Congratulations." Lily whispered, "I'm so happy for you."

"Thanks." Jordan said, "you should have seen him when he got down on one knee. He was sobbing. it was pathetic."

"Sobbing." Nigel chuckled, "And Jordan here was laughing."
"She has nerves of steal." Woody mumbled.

"Have you guys set a date? Are you going to have kids? Oh! I am so happy!" Lily couldn't stop grinning, "I have been waiting for the two of you to become engaged for such a long time." Jordan laughed softly.

"We haven't set a date yet, but we're thinking spring time. Kids? No. We haven't really discussed that yet, but I'm thinking.....I don't know." Jordan said, "we'll see."

"We're going to have kids. She just don't know it yet." Woody said, "They'll all be named after presidents too."

"See what I'm marrying in to?" Jordan asked. Lily smiled.

"I think it's wonderful, Jordan." She said. Lily couldn't even express how happy she was at that very moment. her best friend was getting married. Now she just needed to fine Mrs. right for Nigel.

Week 34

Bug finished suturing up Mrs. Callow as Jordan walked into the room.

"Hey there Mrs. Hoyt." Bug said. Jordan chuckled.

"Very funny." She said, "You know what? I'm enjoying my first day back."

"Has Garrett given you all the rules again?" Bug asked, "When Lily came back he did do her." Jordan nodded.

"He went over the rules like seven times with me. I don't think Garrett trusts me much." She said. Bug chuckled.

"Well, you haven't given him many reasons to." Bug said.

"I suppose." Jordan smiled, "Could I ask you a question?"

"You just did." Bug said. Jordan narrowed her eyes, "Go ahead."

"When you and Lily got pregnant with Maya...Where you like freaked out big time?" Jordan asked. Bug nodded.

"Very freaked out, but happy too." He said, "Why?"

"I don't know. I have just been thinking about the kids thing since Lily mentioned it the other week." Jordan said, "I just don't know how Woody would react." Bug narrowed his eyes.

"Are you pregnant, Jordan?" Bug asked. Jordan laughed.

"No. Can't say that I am." She said, "But how do you think Woody would act?" Bug smiled softly at the thought.

"Our Woody? The Woody who sobbed when he found out Lily was pregnant again?" Bug asked, "I think when the woman he loves gets pregnant with his child, he will be hysterically happy." Jordan smiled softly looking at the cadaver.

"He'll make a great dad." She said sadly. Bug watched her.

"You'll make a great mother too, Jordan." He said.

"I don't think I will, Bug." She said, "I have a lot of baggage I don't want to pass down to my son or daughter."

"Then don't pass it down to him or her." He said, "Forget it. Move on and look towards your future. You don't know yet how much Children change you, Jordan. You'll be amazed."

Bug tossed his jacket onto the coat rack as he walked into the house. Lily was curled up on the couch watching television.

"Hey, Sweetheart." he said walking into the living room.

"Hey." Lily smiled, "How was work?" Bug nodded.

"Well, how can cutting dead bodies be?" Bug smiled, "It was nice. I had a heart to heart with Jordan." he said. Lily cuddle into him.

"A heart to heart with Jordan about what?" Lily asked.

"Her and Woody of course." Bug said to his wife, "She's been thinking about having kids." Lily grinned brightly.

"OH that would be wonderful." She said, "Maya and this baby could grow up with hers. Oh! This is great!" Bug chuckled.

"She's afraid about becoming a mother." he said.

"Why?" Lily frowned.

"Come on...It's Jordan." He said. Lily nodded her head.

"Oh yeah." Lily said, "She will be a good mom though."

"That's what I told her." Bug said as he closed his eyes. "How was our little butterfly today for you?" Lily smiled.

"She was great. Maya got into the raspberry bush though." She said, "She was pink from head to toe." Bug chuckled.

"That sounds like our baby." he said. Lily nodded.

"I'm very tired now though." She said closing her eyes. Bug smiled as he hugged her. he was so happy holding his wife right there. They had the perfect life. The kind of life people would envy. Maybe that was Jordan's problem.
