Correcting a mistake

Tom sighed as he looked out of the window of his hotel room in Chicago. He had arrived late the night before. That afternoon he planned to go and see Jackie, he would use his status as a cop if he had to in order to get into her office.

So at one a clock that after noon Tom drove to the building Jackie worked in. To his surprise he did not have a lot of trouble getting into her office. One flash of his ID to the receptionist and he was in.

He took a deep breath and hopped she didn't call security to have him removed. He knocked on the door, and felt him self melt at the sound of her voice telling him to enter. He opened the door and slowly walked in. He turned and closed the door and faced her.

The sight that met him made him to do a double take. His breath caught in his throat. For there standing behind her desk was the woman he loved. Even through he barely recognised her, she was still the same woman he had fallen in love with. She looked beautiful she was practically glowing.

Her image had changed so drastically. Her glasses were gone, and she had a new hair style, that made her look slightly younger then she was. It also made her face seem thinner as well. He loved the new look, she looked gorgeous in his opinion. He was practically kicking him self for ever letting her go.

And the fact he could clearly see her rounded stomach sticking out, make his heart melt, the fact it was his baby she was carrying made her look that more appealing to him.

She spat "what the hell are you doing here? I left to get away from you, not so you could just follow me. Haven't you hurt me enough?" Tom felt his heart break at those words, the bitterness and hatred behind them cut him deeply. He had hurt her badly, he just didn't realise how badly until then.

He asked in a near whisper "why didn't you tell me?" She felt her anger flare. She spat "Figures you'd only come all this way just because I'm carrying your baby. How bloody stupid was I to ever think you could have possibly come all this way because of me?"

She added sadly her anger deflating instantly, not having the strength all the will to fight anymore. "I never told you because I was worried that you'd think I was lying and trying to trap you in a relationship with someone you never loved."

She felt bitter tears coming to her eyes and turned away so he couldn't see how much his presence was bothering her. But it was too late he had saw, she hadn't been quick enough. He felt wretched as tears came to his own eyes. He quickly walked over to her and pulled her into his arms. She tired to pull away but he was to strong for her.

She spat "no, god dam it. I don't want your pity or sympathy. And I sure as hell don't want you feeling obligated to me just because I'm pregnant with your son. I won't tolerate that crap; I'm not some fucking charity case."

She was about to go on ranting when he cut her off, or more like covered her mouth with his own. She tried to pull away and began to struggle, but he wouldn't let her. He held on until she melted into him in defeat.

He kissed her hard and passionately, god how he had missed her. She shook her head and tried to pull away again, but yet again he held her fast. She whimpered "why are you doing this to me, you don't love me, you wouldn't have dumped me other wise? Its not fare." She sobbed trying to still pull away but he wouldn't let her.

Tom felt tears streaming down his face as he held onto her. He could feel her rounded stomach pressed against him. He whispered in her ear. "I'm so sorry. I never ever meant to make you think I never or don't love you. I was scared. I love you so much it terrifies me."

He continued when she looked up at him with brown tear filled eyes. "You got closer to me then anyone ever has, that includes Amy my ex, before she was killed." He finished "I was terrified, that's why I pushed you away. I never realised what I was giving up and losing until you weren't there.

And when I found out you were pregnant with my child; that just made me realise what a mistake I'd made. I knew I'd screwed up the chance of the one thing I'd always wanted, a family of my own."

She choked back a sob "you ass, why didn't you say something. I would have never held it against you. Everyone gets frightened, it apart of being human for Christ sake."

She sounded indignant. He had to stifle a grin. But she could tell he was trying to stop him self from grinning. She smacked up the side of the head, he glared at her she returned his glare in spades.

He asked "what the hell did you do that for?" She smirked "for being a prick and not telling me how you were feeling. That's what that was for thank you very much" she told him matter factly.

He suddenly froze "wait a minute? Didn't you mention before I cut you off that you were carrying my son?" Jackie sighed "yes your son. I found out at my last scan, last month."

Tom felt a shit eating grin spread across his face. She had never seen him looks so happy. She commented "and before you ask, William Thomas Hanson is healthy and developing like he should be."

Tom melted there and then. He said "William Thomas Hanson?" She smiled "he will never get to meet his grandfather; I wanted him to be named after him. I know you loved him and you still miss him."

Tom was overwhelmed he felt his love for her swell. She never looked more beautiful to him, even with the tears tracks on her face and her swollen red puffy eyes.

She was not only going to give him the gift of fatherhood, but she also willingly wanted to name their son after his father. He grinned as he thought to him self 'I wonder if she would agree to allow me to nick name him Will?'

Tom asked "there is one thing I was wondering about." She asked "And what is that?" He smiled sweetly "can we give him the nick name Will? William is such a long name." She grinned "yeah we can. I had been thinking the exact same thing when I'd decided to call him that."

Tom sighed and gently rubbed his hand against her stomach. He pleaded "please come back with me. Everyone misses you. Doug and Dorothy miss you. And a friend of yours from worked told me she misses you to."

He added "plus I was hopping my mother could have the chance to meet and spend time with her grandson when he is born." Jackie sighed. She had to admit she did miss Doug and Dorothy. Plus she missed all of her friends from when she had worked at the other branch.

She supposed if she gave in her notice and asked her old boss if he would be willing to take her back. She nodded "alright. But I'm not just agreeing to this because you asked me to. I miss Doug and Dorothy. I miss my friends from my old work place.

I miss sometimes helping work on some of the cases at Jump Street. So yeah I'll come back with you." Tom beamed and kissed her lovingly.He said against her lips "oh by the way you look hot. No one is going to recognise you. I love the hair; you definitely make one hell of a brunet."

She chuckled against his mouth, as he nibbled and suckled on her upper lip. She grinned and pulled away. "You're not looking so bad you're self. But word of advice, the facial hair hurts, please shave it off" She pleaded sweetly.

He chuckled "oh alright, as long as you don't make me cut my hair, then I agree to shave." She smiled "I wouldn't dream of it, I've always loved it when you tie your hair back." He smiled and rested his fore head against hers before capturing her mouth with his own in a loving kiss and caressing her stomach lovingly.
