Secret Past
Chapter 2 – The morgue baby
The 3 days went very quickly for Woody. It was the beginning of his first morning alone with Emily and he woke up to the alarm set for Jordan. "I don't want to go back," she whined. "Emily needs me."
"Jordan the second your back, you're going to realize how much you missed working."
"Yeah right," she said with a grin. Jordan was not looking forward to leaving her daughter, as much as she trusted Woody and she trusted him completely, she liked being there. She was afraid she was going to miss something. Jordan showered and Woody made her breakfast. Emily was up when Jordan came down from her shower. Jordan fed her while she ate.
By the time Jordan got out the door she was an hour late. Garret however was expecting that. He knew it would be a lot harder for Jordan to leave Emily than Jordan had expected. "Jordan," Lily squealed as she got off the elevator. She ran over and hugged her. "How's the little one?"
"I miss her already." Jordan said.
Nigel and Bug came out of trace. "Hello luv, how's our little angel?"
"She's great Nige." Jordan missed Emily but realized how much she missed her morgue family. The only person she really had adult conversations with was Woody and Emily took a lot of time away from their time together. "Woody's going to bring her in at noon and we're going to have lunch."
"Yay," Lily squealed again. She loved any chance to see Emily. They all did, Emily was the morgue baby.
"I guess I better get to work before Garret realizes how late I am."
"Too late," he said as he came around the corner. "Nice to you see you though. Besides you've been later."
She grinned. It really felt good to be back with her friends. "How do you feel about field work?"
"You have a case for me?"
"Not yet, but I moved you to the top of the list."
Jordan went into her office and placed her stuff inside. Then she turned on her computer. She couldn't remember the last time she didn't have paperwork. She went into trace and agreed to help Nigel with his case.
