Disclaimer: I don't own Pretender. So don't sue!
A/N: Another one of my crazy ideas. I've been watching the third season all over again and this kind of popped into my head. I know the first chapter is short, but the next one will be longer. I promise. Please read and review. The more reviews, the quicker the next chapter will be posted.
Chapter 1: Wake Up Call
Light fluttered into her eyes behind her closed eyelids. Miss Parker moaned and rolled over. It was too early to get up. She had been out late last night chasing Jarod and now all she wanted to do was sleep. Jarod had been so irritating again, like usual. He had led her, Sydney, and Broots on a wild goose chase for the better part of the day before he got them locked up in a jail cell. Apparently, Jarod had been a criminal investigator in his latest pretend and they were supposedly people after him for putting someone else in jail. It was an experience Miss Parker was getting tired of and she just wanted it to end. Snuggling deeper into the comforters and pillows, Miss Parker sighed contently as sleep reached out to claim her. A movement next to her made her smile and sleep disappear.
Tommy. It had to be Tommy. He was the only one allowed into her bed at any time, day or night. Though, she couldn't remember him being in her house when she got back from Oregon last night. She racked her brain for a time when he might have sneaked in, but came up empty. Oh, well. It didn't matter. All that mattered was that he was there. She tipped her head up in the direction she thought he was and smiled. She didn't want to go back to sleep if he was there. Her eyes remained sealed shut.
"Hi, Tommy." She murmured softly.
"Who's Tommy?" An all too familiar voice asked innocently. Miss Parker's eyes snapped open and she found herself staring into the chocolate brown eyes of Jarod.
