Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Crossing Jordan.

A/N: I am not completely happy with chapter 8, I think I rushed it, but I want to move on with the story line; Jordan's kidnapping is only a small portion of the story. Thanks for reading I always appreciate someone who takes the time to read what I write.

Secret Past

Chapter 9 – Jordan Returns

As Jordan arrived at the morgue she ran to Emily who was fussing in her car seat. "Mommy's here baby," she said as she slowly lifted Emily up. Woody didn't know how to feel, he had been so worried about her and now she was safe but wouldn't let him arrest her kidnapper. He stood there until she came over to him. "How was your first morning off?" She asked trying to lighten his mood.

"I thought I was going to lose you forever Jordan. You don't understand how much I was worried. I thought Emily was going to lose you. I was so scared." She watched him break down. She could tell the day had worn him out.

"Well I'm fine and neither of you are going to lose me. You couldn't get rid of me if you tried. Come on lets go home and we'll pick dinner up on the way." She smiled at him. "I love you Woods."

He kissed her and then held her and Emily tight. "I can't ever lose you. You're my life."

She smiled again and the 2 of them were about to leave when Lily ran over and hugged Jordan. "We were so worried."

"Thanks for watching Emily."

"Oh it was no problem."

"Well maybe we should get you to baby sit some time."

"Umm, yeah, that would be great," Lily lied. "Umm tell me, how well do you guys know detective Framus?"

"Why?"

"Just wondering."

"We know her pretty well."

"Well she is an expert with kids and I was just wondering if you knew why."

"Umm… umm.. well, no we… we don't."

"Are you lying?"

"Even if we did know anything, it isn't our place to tell you." Jordan said. "Sorry."

"I knew I wasn't reading to much into things."

"Why are you so curious anyway?"

"I was just wondering is all?" Lily said almost embarrassed.

"Obviously if she isn't telling you it is because she doesn't want you to know."

"You're right. See you later guys and Jordan I am so glad you're back."

Woody and Jordan went home that night and Jordan told Woody the whole story of Chris and Zach and their parents. Woody finally understood Jordan's insanity when he went to arrest Christopher Smith and Woody told Jordan of his day and trying to make a deal with Zach Smith. That night Woody held Jordan close to him all night long. He had never loved her as much as he did at that very moment.
