Chapter 7- Spreading the word
The morgue, Jordan's POV
We walked into Garret's office, we had decided we were going to tell them one at a time, more announcements, more fun.
"Hey Garret, guess how many people are in here."
"Jordan already know you pregnant."
"Yes, but I'm a little more pregnant than you thought."
"What is that supposed to mean, I thought you were sure?"
"I am." He's a better shot than I thought.
"We're having twins!" Woody burst out he was so proud, Garret stared at me long and hard trying to figure out whether of not I had told him, I shook my head no and he smiled. It seemed that Woody had completely forgotten that I told him they weren't his, it didn't matter to him who the dad was because they were mine they were mine they were ours. I was touched, it mad it so hard to be mad at him and not tell him, but you have to be careful, remember the test, he can't pass it in one day. We'll try it out and see what happens. "Who do we get to tell next?"
"Calm down Farm boy, we still have seven months to tell everybody."
"Jordan, I don't care how thin you are, you aren't going to be able to hide twins for seven more months, I can already see a little pouch." I covered my stomach.
"Are you calling me fat," I started to cry, dang hormones.
"No, no, no, I think it is sweet, it is very cute," he placed his hand on my stomach and kissed it. I started to cry even more. "Jo it was supposed to make you feel better."
"It's just so sweet, why are you being so nice to me, look at what I've done to you?" He came over and hugged me and rocked me. This is not me, I'm not a weak person, hormones are not fair, especially when they aren't planned.
"Jo, lets go tell someone else, it will make you smile again."
"Oh, that sounds great, who next?"
"You pick, their your kids." Ouch, he was doing so well, wait he doesn't know they're his, you have to be nice, give him a break, this is hard on him.
"Nigel, oh this should be fun, how do we do it?"
"You're the doctor come up with something interesting. Think forensically."
"He is not performing an autopsy on me!"
"I wasn't suggesting that, but yuo could give him hints and make him figure it out, you could always ask him to hack into your doctors computer system because you need him to check something out regarding one of our cases."
"I like it, I just can't wait to see the look on his face it'll be priceless."
We walked to Nigel's office, for once he was just sitting at his desk. "Hey Nig, I need you to look up something for me, I have a DV case and I'm trying to find out if she was pregnant, can you hack into their system and find out for me?"
"Sure luv, no problem give me a couple of minutes," he sat down to his computer and started typing away he quickly got into the main frame, "What is the name?"
"Joyce Caven," I replied.
"Here we go, Judy Collins, Jordan Cavanaugh, Joyce Caven, What just a darn minute, HOLY HANNAH! Jo, what are you doing on this list?" He made such a ruckus that everyone quickly piled into his office.
"Nigel, what's going on, are you okay?" Lily said
"NO! Look at the list Jordan is on."
"What, oh the positive list, wait Jordan your pregnant!" I smiled and Woody wrapped his arm protectively around me.
"Guess the cat is out of the bag." I said.
"OH MY HECK!!!"
"Nig, we already established she's pregnant, what are you going on about now?"
"She's.... She's... she's" Nigel stuttered out, I then knew what he discovered as I looked and the computer screen.
"She's what? You are diving us nuts!"
"She's bloody having twins!!"
"Your kidding," Lily looked like she couldn't believe it, then she looked at my already protruding tummy and I murmured "afraid not."
"Oh Jordan, Woody, Congratulations, we're so happy for you," I saw a faint frown cross Woody's face, I felt so bad for lying to him, but I just had to know that he was going to stick it out for the long haul first. I gave him a hug and replied,
"We are." It was two simple words, but he smiled and kissed my head to say thank you. He may have been confused, but I was happy.
