A/N: This story is going to be kind of short. It will probably only have about 6 or 7 chapters, but I am working on a sequal called "In Your Honor." I will try to post it as soon as this story ends, but my computer is messed up so i'm not making any promises. I just realized that in the last chapter it said Jamie was killed yesterday. That was a mistake. I meant to say a few weeks ago, because I don't think Steven would be able to get to the other side of the world in less than 24 hours no matter how fast he went. Lol. Anyway, enough rambling. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own the show.
Chapter 4: Ghost of You
Jamie's funeral was a month later. Everyone was concerned about Jude. With the baby coming in a little while, they were all helping out as mutch as they could. Nevertheless, the last month had been tough. After hearing about Jamie's death, Jude had become very distant. She hardly talked to anyone except Tommy. She knew he had been through this before and therefore understood her, but it was hard to talk to her even for him. She had just become too depressed. He and everyone else decided he should temporarily move in with her to make sure she would be ok on her own and help her out for the next few months at least. Jude had reluctanly agreed. She preferred to be alone, but it could be worse. At least Tommy didn't force her to talk. She trusted him. "Hey, girl. What's up?" He asked as he came into the kitchen. She looked up, but said nothing. He rolled his eyes and smiled understandingly. "I see. Not in the mood to talk to me. Ok." Just as he was about to leave, Jude rushed up to him and hugged him tightly, sobbing. He hugged her back, trying to comfort her.
"Why did it have to be Jamie?" Her knees gave in and she nearly fell to the floor, but Tommy held her up. He held her tighly and stroked her hair comfortingly.
"Shh. Jude, I know it's unfair, but that person had no idea what they were doing when they shot him. It was just--" He paused, not knowing what to call it. "It was just an accident." She let out another sob.
"That's not gonna bring Jamie back." He frowned, knowing that it was only a matter of time before she said that. He had said it before, too.
"I know, Jude. But you need to understand that he knew he was taking a risk and that he wanted you to be ok with that if anything happened to him." Jude nodded.
"I know. Thanks." They stayed like that for a minute until Jude suddenly jumped back, clutching her stomach. Tommy's eyes widened in concern.
"What's wrong?" She stood up.
"Huh? Oh. Nothing. It's just the baby." Tommy nodded.
"Ok." Jude looked around.
"Are you hungry?" Tommy shook his head.
"No, not really. Are you?"
"Yeah, kinda. I'm gonna find something to eat." She went into the kitchen as if none of that had happened. He rolled his eyes and went upstairs.
A/N: I know that chapter was short, but I couldn't think of anything to say. Please R&R becuase if you review more I will post sooner and you'll get to read the sequal sooner.
