A/N: This is the last chapter, it's short, I know, but I thought that it was an okay place to stop. Thanks for everyone that reviewed this story.
Chapter 5
Jordan and Woody stayed up all night working out the details of their wedding. They fell asleep in each others arms, Michael sleeping at their feet. They woke up to Woody's cell phone ringing.
"Hoyt."
"This is Garret, have you seen Jordan lately?"
"I'm with her now. Why?"
"I just wanted to tell her that she got her hours, will you tell her that, and tell her to answer her phone from now on?"
"Will do."
Woody hung up and slowly untangled himself from Jordan and Michael. He started making breakfast, and decided that it was time to wake up Jordan.
"Jo, wake up, we have a big day. We need to get the marriage license, and finish getting everything ready. Garret called."
"What did he want?"
"You got your hours."
"I knew he would give them to me. I'll call Laura and see if we can wait awhile before getting married, because I have the new hours."
Jordan got up and headed to her room to make the call, not seeing the hurt look in Woody's eyes, but she knew that it was there. "Oh and Woody, I will still marry you, but I would rather have more time to plan the wedding." Woody walked into the bedroom and wrapped Jordan up in his arms.
"I love you. I'll wait forever if I know that you will eventually catch up to me. Jordan I love you and will do anything for you."
"I know Woody. Laura said that I will have a better chance if we get married, so let's go to the courthouse." Jordan wanted her friends from work there, Woody also, so they got Michael up, and after they were ready headed to Laura's office, hoping they could wait to get married, because as much as Jordan wanted to deny it, she wanted a Cinderella wedding.
Laura Jacob's office
"Jordan, I didn't expect you to hear from you this early."
"My boss knows that I am trying to get custody of Michael, so he cut back my hours and gave me some time off, so that I could get him settled. Detective Hoyt and I are going to be married, sooner if it will allow me to keep Michael."
"How soon are you going to get married?"
"As soon as needed. We are prepared to get married today, but we would like some time to plan for the wedding if that would be okay."
"Yes, I'm sure that we could do that. Where's Michael at now?"
"He's right outside with Woody. They were trying to decide what video to get tonight."
"Will you bring him in here for a second?"
"Sure. I'll be right back." Jordan went out into the hallway and stopped when she saw Woody reading a story to Michael. She didn't want to interupt, so she waited. Laura was wondering what was taking so long so she went out into the hallway and saw Jordan standing there. She walked over to Jordan, who noticed her walking up. "I didn't want to interupt, I think that the story is almost over." Laura smiled when she saw Michael start to laugh. All her thoughts about Jordan and now Woody getting custody of Michael didn't seem so bad.
"I see all I need to. Michael will stay with you until you guys are married, and then you can adopt him, it will be easier to do then, so you don't have to go through the process twice." Jordan smiled at Laura and shook her hand.
"Thank you. We will be getting married soon, so that Michael will be our son."
"No thank you. It is always to a plus to see a child happy after such a horrible event."
"It seems that the story is over." Just then Michael ran up to the two women.
"Joodan, Woody said that we could get two movies cuz we couldn't decide on one! Can we go to the movie store now?" Laura looked over to the two adults, and then at the little boy. She nodded to Jordan.
"Yeah, we can."
"Um Joodan, Woody said that he would be staying with us, if it was kay with me. I told him yes." Michael smiled up at Woody and then at Jordan and Laura. "Does this mean that you guys are getting married?"
"Yes it does. So after we get the movies we have to go tell everyone at the morgue."
"So you guys will be my new mommy and daddy?"
"If you want us to be."
"I do." Michael grabbed Jordan's hand and then Woody's. He smiled at Laura. "I'm going home with my mommy and daddy. Kay?"
