CHAPTER 13

"So… any clue on when you're getting out of here and into physiotherapy or whatever the next step will be?" Jordan asked after a moment of silence. Woody shook his head. He hadn't said a single thing since their kiss. He was still a bit surprised at what Jordan had done. He didn't mind, of course, it was exactly what he had hoped would happen. But why was everything working out so perfectly right now? He wasn't sure what to say.

"How's Dr. Macy?" He asked finally, but after he did, he didn't know if it was the right thing to say. Jordan's smile disappeared, and a sort of sad, confused look replaced it. Obviously, he was either not doing well at all, or Jordan didn't know how he was doing because he wasn't returning her calls. Either way, he could tell he wasn't back yet, which worried him. He couldn't picture the morgue without Dr. Macy, even though he had sort of experienced it that day just over a week ago when Lily had plastered the VISITOR tag on his jacket. He hadn't liked it at all.

"I wouldn't know." She told him straight out, "He won't return anyone's calls. No one's heard from him since he left." Woody nodded, feeling bad for asking. "It's okay" Jordan reassured him. How could she tell exactly what he was thinking? Was he so emotionally drained that his emotions were that easy to read? He hoped not, but guessed so.

"Sorry." He told her, not knowing what else to say.

"No, really, it's okay." She told him, bringing back her smile. "I can't wait until you meet the guy who's temporarily replacing you on the force." She said with a bit of a laugh, "I don't think you'll like him much."

"Why's that?" He said with a smile, wondering if there was any reason other than the obvious, that he was his replacement for the time being.

"Well, we worked on a case with him last night, Bug and I" She told him. His first thought was why she went back to work last night after the hospital. He thought she would have gone home, but he guessed it wasn't an important part of the story. "I didn't really mind working with him, I mean he wasn't you" She said with a smile, "But he was alright. Then, he went out to grab us some coffee, and Bug and I took a break. That's when things got funny." She told him.

"What do you mean by 'funny'" He asked a concerned look on his face.

"Oh, it's nothing bad Woody." She told him with a laugh, knowing that he'd instinctively be jealous when she told him. "Well, Bug and I were in the break room, and I was planning on asking Bug about Lily, you know, to see if he liked her the way Lily and I hoped he did. But, Bug started a different conversation before I had the chance."

"Let me guess, it was about this Detective Jake?" Woody said with a smile.

"Yeah, how'd you guess?" She said with a laugh. "Bug started innocently enough, but two minutes into the conversation, he was informing me that Jake was 'in love' with me." Jordan looked over at Woody and burst into laughter. The look on his face was priceless.

"In love with you?" He asked, surprised. Sure enough, a wave of jealousy flashed over him. "Well, what happened then?"

"I said I hadn't noticed, because I hadn't, and he said that it was painfully obvious, because it was the same way he looked at Lily. But, of course he didn't say the whole sentence at first; I had to do a little convincing that he could trust me." She told Woody with a smile.

"A little convincing?" He asked with a laugh.

"I just said that she felt the same way, and he should ask her out!" Jordan said defensively. Then we headed back to trace, meeting up with Detective Jake again, and sure enough, he was looking at me the same way Bug looked at Lily which could only mean one thing. Bug was right. Bug had also told me before that Jake had already asked if I was single, and of course, thinking I was still frustrated with you, he had indicated I was. Two hours later, we had given up on the case, leaving it until the morning. Bug headed to Lily's office, and I headed to mine. I was getting ready to leave when Jake came and asked me if I wanted to go get something to eat." Jordan paused for a minute and watched as Woody's jaw tightened. She knew she had made the right decision in interrupting Bug and Lily's plans. "Don't worry Woody" She laughed, "I didn't' go out for something to eat with him… well not alone anyways. We ended up going out with Bug and Lily." Woody put on a cute smile.

"What did you think I was jealous or something?" He said, trying to be serious.

"No! I knew you were!" She laughed. "But anyways, I haven't gotten to the good part yet." Woody rolled his eyes and kept listening. "Bug and Lily said they'd meet us at the new coffee shop down the street in a few minutes, so we headed out. While we were walking down the street very awkwardly, I tried to make some small conversation by asking him how he found Boston. He made some corny reply about it being good, and very 'fun' and proceeded to try and hold my hand." Jordan told Woody. She burst out laughing for the second time in a few minutes after seeing the look of jealousy creep into Woody's face again. "Don't worry Woods, its not like I'd let a guy that close that easily." She told him with a wink, referring to the last four years of their life. He half smiled and waited for her to finish her story. "I pulled away, and told him I sort of had a boyfriend." She said and as she did her cheeks turned pink. Woody noted how cute it made her look. "Then he said something like "I didn't think you'd move on so quickly…" Or something like that, obviously referring to our relationship. We headed into the café, and I made him tell me everything. Apparently, there are people that work with you that have the idea that we've been a couple for the last for years, and we broke up when you got shot. How crazy and embarrassing is that?" Jordan asked him. He smiled. He had gotten the idea that some of his co-workers had thought that, but since no one had really confronted him about it, well except that one time when he had first worked with Santana, he decided to let them think what they wanted.

"That is pretty crazy." He added with a grin, "But they may not be completely wrong now." Jordan smiled too, the pink colour in her cheeks once again darkening.

"Yeah." She agreed with him, "They may have that exactly right." And she leaned in to kiss him once again. After what seemed like forever, the kiss ended.

"Well, as fun as this has been" Jordan said with a wink, "I should get home and ready for an afternoon of work. I wouldn't want to worry Slokum with my absence. I wish to god Garrett would get back in there and fight for his job. I wish to god he'd at least call me… But I'll come by later tonight, maybe bring some more visitors?" Jordan told him with a smile and a soft kiss on the lips.

"Okay." Woody told her. He wanted to add, spending time alone with you is fine though, referring to the kisses they'd just shared, but he didn't want to push things, so he decided to keep it simple. "See you later then." And with a wave, she was gone. What a wonderful morning it had been…
