Natalie and the Buchanan's all agreed that Natalie would take care of Jessica's baby at the carriage house. Natalie moved a few things into the house and all the baby's thing were already there. Natalie took a leave of absence from the police department and she and the baby were settling in nicely. John had come been coming by at lunchtime everyday to see Natalie and to help with the baby. They would talk for hours, even lose track of time making him late getting back to work. John had worked late last night on a big case and as much as he said he wanted to he was unable to come by. Things were looking up, Natalie thought as she looked at Jess' baby in her bassinet in the living room, jess was making progress, some, not a lot but some, and Natalie was happy to have John around, she and the baby had only been at the carriage house a few days and he was already living up to what he told her and her family at the hospital, that he would help her, be there for her, it was nice Natalie said to herself and she smiled, really nice.
She continued to look at the baby. The baby still didn't have a name. Jessica never really had a name picked out for her; she said she'd figure it out when she was born. She stared at such a beautiful thing, life. Beautiful life. She took a minute and thought about her beautiful life that she once had inside her, she thought about how she had never told anyone about her pregnancy and about the baby, not even Chris, how she never wanted to face that pain and how she just never felt she could trust anyone enough to tell them, nor did she want to trust anyone enough to tell them, but she told John. She shook her head not wanting to continue reliving all that pain and she focused her thoughts on John instead.
She thought about how much he had brought to her life, she thought about how much he had been trying, trying to be there for her, trying to show her, show her how much he cared about her, how much he loved her, how much she knew he loved her. Things were at a bit of a stand still for them, there hadn't been anytime to really get into what they should do about them, about them being together or not, about them going for it and not looking back. No words were ever spoken about them, they continued to be friends both knowing, both having patience that after everything with Jess' baby and Jess was worked out they would speak, they would decide where to go next with their relationship. Natalie was brought out of her thoughts when there was a knock at the door and it woke the baby, Natalie picked up the baby and then walked to the door to open it, Natalie had a smile on her face hoping it was john for it was lunch time.
"Oh, hey Nick I didn't expect you, what's going on?" Natalie said as she was surprised to see nick at the door. They hadn't really talked since they decided to call off the wedding.
"Nothing, can I come in," Nick asked and Natalie moved so he could walk in,
"I just wanted to check on you and make sure you were alright, I heard you went thru a lot and with Jess' situation and now the baby I thought I'd...well I'd check on you" Nick said as he watched her with her niece. She was swaying back and forth moving so the baby would go back to sleep. Nick got lost in her beauty, the radiance that excluded her when she was happy and taking care of others. He wondered why they had never talked about children.
"She's really a cutie isn't she?" he said as he came closer to Natalie to take a closer look at the baby in her arms. He got real close to Natalie and leaned in to look at the baby and then he looked up into Nat's eyes. Without even realizing it he went in for a kiss. Natalie had the baby in her arms and she saw him coming in for a kiss, she didn't move so to alarm the baby with her sudden action as the baby was falling asleep and she let him kiss her.
John was at the door about to knock when he looked in thru the glass on the front door and he saw it, saw them, saw Nick, saw them kiss. His heart started racing, he was jealous and mad all at the same time; how could she kiss him? How could she when she knew he loved her? When she knew how hard he was working on building things with them again, building things better. He stepped back a few feet about to walk away, about to leave and hit the first bar he saw, when he just couldn't. He couldn't do it, not this time, he couldn't run, he walked up to the door and opened it.
Nick was just in the middle of explaining to Natalie how sorry he was for kissing her when John walked in. they both turned to see John standing there with two bags of food.
"Hey," Natalie said to John as she walked over to the bassinet and put the baby down in it.
John walked over to Natalie and the bassinet; he looked at the baby and smiled at her.
"She been good for you today?" John asked as he and Natalie both continued to look at the baby
"Very good today, I see you brought lunch" Natalie asked as she looked at him
"Yup, and that's not all I brought" John said and he caught her off guard by bringing his lips to hers as Nick had no other choice than to watch. Natalie felt mesmerized by his show of affection, and confused by it all at the same time till she realized it. Realized that John was trying to stake his claim, stake his claim by kissing her in front of Nick. She realized he must have seen Nick kiss her.
"I think I'll be going Nat, I'm glad you're doing all right." Nick said as he walked closer to them. He started to walk passed them when John spoke to him.
"Oh Nick I didn't even see you there" John said being an ass
"Jerk" Nick said under his breath to low for them to hear and he left the carriage house.
After Nick left completely Natalie turned to John.
"You saw him kiss me didn't you?" Natalie asked John and he nodded yes.
"You do know there's nothing to worry about there don't you? I mean.. I'm not in love with him anymore, I'm not really sure if I ever was" she said as she looked into his blue eye's. She was under his spell again, she knew it, she felt it. She wanted it. They were about to kiss when Clint knocked on the door.
Natalie waved him in and Clint walked in.
"What's going on dad?" Natalie asked as Clint proceeded to walk towards her.
"Nothing, I just thought maybe you could use a break, maybe you'd like to get out of here for a little while, maybe John could take you to lunch or something." Clint said as he saw her begin to protest and then she looked at john and an agreed.
John and Natalie left the carriage house and got in John's car.
"Where do you wanna go?" John asked her as he turned the car on.
"Maybe the park, we can eat the lunch you brought' Natalie said as she smiled.
"The park it is " John told her and he drove to the park
John was about to park his car in a spot near the picnic tables when Natalie told him not too.
"Go around to the left, it's secluded back there, I go there when I want to be completely alone and when I want to think" Natalie told him and John followed orders and drove to where she told him. It was secluded he thought very secluded as a matter of fact.
They sat in the car an opened up their lunch from Rodi's and they started to eat, they spoke about a few things here and there but nothing of any importance, they were just having a great time alone together being them. They had the radio on in the car and while they were listening to it the song came on, Natalie's favorite song, the song that was on when John had blurted out that he loved her. John heard the song and he saw that she did to, he reached over and took her hand with his, he held it for a minute and then he lifted it to his mouth and kissed it. They looked into each others eye's and they saw the want for each other mirrored in them.
Natalie didn't know who moved first but they both started removing their own clothes, John got his shirt off and then moved closer to her and helped her off with her shirt, john reached behind her and unhooked her bra as Natalie pulled it off her shoulders throwing it onto the car floor. John started kissing her urgently and his hands became magnets to her breasts. His large thumbs went to work on her nipples and she leaned her head back enjoying every last action as his mouth found it's way to her breasts. Natalie felt like she was in paradise but then she suddenly stopped.
"Stop, stop John" she said as she was breathing heavy and she pushed him slightly off of her
"We can't I ...I..." Natalie couldn't get the words out.
" I want to. I really want to but..." Natalie again tried to say what was on mind when she looked at John.
John knew exactly why she had stopped. He reached passed her into the glove compartment grazing her breasts with his arm as he did and he pulled out a piece of paper. He handed it to her; Natalie read it as big grin appeared on her face.
"When? How?" she tried to ask when he shut her up by kissing her
"We'll talk about it later, now where was I... right about here" John said as he took his mouth and once again found her breast. His wet tongue went to her nipple and ran circles over her already hardened peaks till they were rock hard, John slowly moved his hand and started to move it inside her pants when their bodies kept bumping up against the steering wheel. They both stopped briefly still breathing heavy and Natalie looked at the back seat with her eyes. She got a devilish grin on her face and she climbed over the front seat to the back one. John followed her lead and too climbed into the back seat with her.
"You know we could just go back to my place," he told her as he watched her anxiously take off her pants and panties.
"Nope, wouldn't be as much fun," she said as she smiled at him taking her hands and putting them into his pants without undoing his button or zipper.
"Yep, much more fun right here" she said as she rubbed his penis up and down enjoying his hardness up against the palms of her hands.
John pushed her back against the seat slightly as his tongue started to lick her nipples one at a time and then his mouth blew cold air on them causing them to perk even more an causing Natalie to moan in pleasure, one of Nat's hands were still in his pants when she removed it to undo the button and zipper, she reached an opened it frantically and pushed his pants and his boxers down with his help. After helping Natalie with his own pants his hand went to her core, his long fingers inserted themselves up and into her moistness and started pushing in and out of her. Natalie arched her back up against the back of the seat and felt as if she was going to loose it right then as she felt his fingers match the rhythm of his suckling of her sensitive nipples. Natalie pushed him off of her slightly and maneuvered herself in the tight space of the back seat, she pushed his back against the seat and she climbed on top of his lap and his erection, straddling him as she faced the fogged back windshield. They stared into each other's eyes for a moment adjusting to their bodies connection and then John started moving hips causing his penis to move inside her, Natalie met his motions with her body and she brought her lips to his. John took his hands and squeezed her bare ass as his penis caused friction to her walls. Breathing heavy they continued to feel the friction as John push deeper and deeper inside of her as her clenching walls tightened around him. Natalie's wall were getting tighter and tighter as John brought one hand off her ass and he put it behind her head pulling her mouth closer to his and aggressively deepening a kiss, they both could feel it, they knew they were close, so close.
They continued with their actions as they felt the car start to shake, Natalie arched her back so his hand could touch her breast, John quickly guided his thumb over one of her nipples as he held her in place on his lap. Feeling her orgasm come upon her Natalie let out a loud moan of pleasure and John quickened his actions knowing it was beginning for the both of them, he drove into her with one final hard thrust and he pulled her back up towards him so they could look into each others eyes as they released. They watched each other as their bodies came together in perfect sync, tightening and deepening their connection until they both felt it, felt their juices joining together. Natalie continued to ride John slowly till her walls stopped throbbing and she continued to kiss his mouth as her bare breasts grazed his chest. Natalie's chest fall against his in exhaustion and she held onto him tightly for a few minutes as he stayed inside her warm place. John moved her head back and pushed her messy hair off of her face and he leaned in for a soft kiss. He was about to tell her he loved her when they both heard it. There was a banging on the back window of the car. They fell quickly to the floor, and were thankful that the windows were still fogged. They quickly searched for their clothes as John saw a man, a cop, a cop from the station trying to look thru the fogged window. They were both able to get their pants on in time but Natalie remembered her shirt was in the front seat. John helped her on with his and was attempting to help her button it as they saw the cop walk around the car to the other window in the back that wasn't as fogged. The cop looked in and saw John.
" Oh, I'm sorry Lt. Mcbain, I didn't know this was your car" the officer said embarrassed as his partner came over to see.
"What's going on?" the second officer asked
"Nothing, nothing lets go" the first officer said to the other. The second officer was curious and looked into the window.
"Natalie, is that you?" the second officer said as he saw her messy red hair.
Natalie got up off the floor slightly pulling John's half unbuttoned shirt together around her chest.
"Yeah, it's me, nice to see you guys" Natalie said, as she knew this would be the gossip around, heck the joke of the station for a while.
"Well.. we'll let you two get back to what you were doing" the officer said and the two officers walked away chuckling to themselves.
John turned to Natalie and she was smiling, they watched the two officers walk away and they heard them talking.
"I told ya, I told ya he loved her, he always has" the officer told his partner
John and Natalie heard them and John wrapped his arms around her, he brought his lips to her ear and whispered in it.
"He's right, I've always loved you. " John told her as he kissed her softly.
