Chapter 3-The Big News
A week and a half later, Woody is back at work and Jordan is still up at the cabin.
Garret's POV
I answered the phone to a pleasant voice, "Macy,"
"Hi Garret, it's me, just thought I'd call and give you an update."
"Jo, you okay, we were starting to worry?"
"I'm fine, I was just calling to let you know what was up in case you haven't seen Woody yet."
"Not seen Woody, he is here just about 3-5 times a day trying to see if you are back yet. He's been pretty depressed. What happened up there? I thought you were going to see if you could make him happy."
"I did Garret, I finally gave into everything I had been feeling for the last two and a half years, he thought I was in it for the vacation, I wasn't Garret, I was ready for the long haul. I just couldn't handle what he said to me so I kicked him out and sent him home."
"Jo, your not running are you? I couldn't handle it if you ran again and frankly I don't think you or Woody could either."
"I'm not going anywhere, I just want to stay put for a few more days, maybe a week, but I will be back, I promise, I have too much here to just let it all go because of one bad vacation."
"Jord, whatever it is, he feels awful. I've never seen him this depressed, if you thought it was bad before you guys left you should see him now."
"I can't Gar, I just...I can't, I cared about him so much it, I thought he knew me better, why now, this is the reason I never gave in before. Oh Garret, why did I have to give in this time." it was more of a statement than a question, so I didn't bother to answer. I knew I couldn't say anything to make her feel better. Besides when she was on a rant it was better to just shut up and let her go at it. I knew she cared about Woody, everybody knew, and now it seemed most of all Woody.
"Jo, I got to go, Bug's calling me about his DV case, but you will check up later right?"
"Sure, bye, oh and tell everybody hi and that I'm fine, thanks."
She hung up the phone, she didn't sound good. I hope she is getting enough sleep she could definitely use it.
Jordan's POV
I know I said I'd tell him but I couldn't it's just too early, heck I don't even know for sure, yet. What's wrong with me? I get with Woody, then I break up with him and end up pregnant within like three days, this just isn't right. I wonder how long I could stretch this vacation, do you think nine months is too long? Oh, Jordan who are you kidding, you know your pregnant, you can feel it, you have to take care of yourself and this little one and heaven knows you can't do it on own, but I can give myself some time. I don't have to let Woody know it's his. Would he even want it? Garret said he's been looking for me, but that was just me. Stop being so stupid, he can't be looking for the kid yet he doesn't even know it exists, relax, relax I'm not helping either of us. "Sorry baby, I don't know how your daddy will feel about this, but you are mine and I'm not letting you go no matter what he says. You are mine and I will love you....just like I love your daddy, don't tell him though, I don't want to hurt him, just make him sweat for a little while maybe, you can't imagine how bad it hurt when he said those things to me, but you don't need to know about that, time will pass and things will be okay they have to." Jordan, are you nuts your talking to a 2 week old embryo, you know she can't hear you yet, but who else am I going to talk to.
Jordan stop, you've completely lost it your talking to yourself and having a full blown conversation. Just go take a nap, you can use all the rest you can get.
The Morgue
Woody's POV
I went to the morgue to see if Garret had heard anything from Jordan yet. I still can't believe how stupid I was, how could I just throw it all away on my stupid insecurities. "Garret, have you heard from Jordan yet, I'm going crazy?"
"Yes, she called a little earlier, she seemed nervous about something, but I'm not quite sure why, care to enlighten me?"
"A lot of stuff happened at that cabin, if she wants to tell you she will, but it's not my place. I need to talk to her before anything else happens. Garret, I love her, I really do, but I don't know what to do, one way or another we always drive each other nuts. It's not fair, why can't we just be happy, how can she not know that I would do anything for her. How angry is she?"
"All considered she didn't sound too angry, but she did sound upset. I'm not sure, but she seemed a little insecure, and for Jordan we all know that is a bad thing."
"Are you the only one she has talked to?"
"As far as I know. She said she would give me a call back later, today I think."
"Dr. Macy, would mind if I stuck around just in case she calls, she won't answer her cell when I try calling and she keeps calling mine, but hangs up after the first or second ring, I'm sure she wants to talk to me, but I think she's to scared to do it. I miss her, I need her I wanted to have a life with her and all I did was destroy every chance I ever had."
"Woody, it's fine, go ahead and stick around a while if you want in case she calls, but you know Jordan, she's a little unpredictable, you can stay in her office if you want, I'll tell everybody to leave you alone unless she calls, you look like you could use the rest I assume you didn't get on you 'relaxing vacation.'"
"Thanks Gar."
Later that evening
Jordan's POV
"Oh, come on Garret answer the phone, I really need to talk to you."
"Hello, County Morgue," it was Lily's sweet voice.
"Hey, I thought you weren't answering the phones anymore, how's it going?"
"Jordan, are you okay? Woody's" I cringed, "been back for at least week, I thought you guys went together."
"We did, there were a few issues, is he okay?"
"Not really, but that is another story, whatever it is he feels awful about something."
Of course he does, he knows what he said to me, to us, oh Jo stop using that as an excuse you and him didn't know there was an us yet. You barely even know that there is an us. Great now the 2 week old fetus is talking to me, you really are losing It Jordan. "Lily, I Garret there? I told him I would call him back."
"Sure one sec," she covered the phone, but I could hear her yell something then she put me on hold.
"Hi Jordan, doing any better than this morning?"
"A little, Garret I need to tell you something."
"Go ahead," I heard a slight muffle, but just threw it out anyway.
"I'm Pregnant."
"What??!! Your what Jordan? Whose is it?"
Oh crap, how could Garret do that to me, I was about to tell him everything and he lets Woody get on the phone.
"Woody, is that you? I can't believe your asking me that? Well you can be assured it's not your's!!" and I slammed the phone down, I'm sure a very stunned Woodrow Hoyt. How could he ask me that, first he thinks I just gave in to make him feel better, now he thinks I'm sleeping around. "Sorry baby, but it looks like daddy won't be around anytime soon, at the moment I don't think I could stand to look at him let alone let him anywhere near you. You don't deserve to be hurt because your dad is a stupid farmboy, my eyes glaxed over as I placed my hands on my still small tummy, but he is my farmboy. Oh how could he do this to us?" Note to self: only call Garret's cell and kill him if he ever lets Woody pick up again.
At the Morgue
Woody's POV
"You stupid idiot Hoyt, how could you ask her that, you know her, she wouldn't do something like that, she's probably scared out of her mind and you accuse her of sleeping around."
"Well, she did say it wasn't mine!"
"Are you really that stupid? Good luck getting me or anyone around here to ever help you with her again. You know we all thought it would be good for her if you two finally got together, but all your doing right now is proving to her that she was right for never getting into this before. She probably regrets the whole thing now. She finally talks to you and you throw that at her, heck I would dump you like a bad habit."
Garret gave me a good tongue lashing, one to mild though for what I probably deserved. I was supposed to love her and instead when she told me something personal and important and I jumped all over her. She did think she was talking to Garret, if it was mine I'd like to believe she would've told me first. She must be going nuts. Jordan was never great with responsibility and this is the ultimate responsibility. It has to me mine, the thought of Jordan carrying anyone else's child made me want to die, if she ever carried anyone's child I was sure it would be mine. I always told her I would take care of her and then I do this to her. I love her, I have to get her back, whether the kid is mine or not, she can't do this alone and I won't let her.
Cabin Jordan's POV
Oh Wood why do I have to love you. Well, I'm just going to go on letting you believe it's not yours maybe some payback for all the pain you've put me through. I suddenly felt butterflies in my stomach, I know its to early to feel the baby, but I could pretend, right. Oh, you are making mommy sick. I ran to the bathroom as fast as my legs could carry me. I laid there for at least two hours, oh Wood why did you do this to me. Who am I kidding I did this to myself, it's not like it was planned, but this was not a fair trade. I give up, I can't do this on my own for much longer, it's time to go home.
