ABC owns them


Chapter 2

John felt really bad about what happened, he didn't mean for her to think he was laughing cause she had big boobs, it just came across funny to him, he was by the bar a few minutes after the slap and he noticed she went outside the back doors alone, he followed her out.

Natalie went outside to get some air, at first she was beginning to think John, Eve's son was a nice guy, a decent guy like Eve had always claimed him to be but then she sort of opened up to him about something, opened up to him which was something she just didn't do and definitely not to someone she just met. And when she did he made a big joke of it, well it wasn't a joke, she told herself and then she thought about what he had said and she grinned a little thinking the way he said it was sort of funny. She heard someone clear their throat and she looked up to see John Mcbain standing there.

"Hi, I'm John Mcbain, Eve's son " John told her with his hand out for her to shake.

"What are you doing?"

"I'd like a do over, if that's alright with you?" John told her softly as she thought about it for a minute; she extended her hand out to his and they shook. Natalie felt chills down her spine at his touch; there was just something about the contact of their hands that caused her to get the chills.

"Natalie Vega, I'm sorry, Natalie Buchanan" Natalie told her

"I'm sorry I said those things to you in there, they were in appropriate and rude and I deserved that slap. I hope we can just maybe forget it and be friends." John told her as he watched her eyes carefully. She had the most beautiful eye's he had ever seen, they intrigued him, everything about her intrigued him, he was getting more and more anxious to learn more about her.

"Forget what?" she said and she smiled at him. she looked inside thru the window and saw everyone dancing again and a sadness came over her eye's. She looked back at him and he saw it.

"Are you alright?" John asked

"Yeah, I'm fine, weddings just make me a little sad sometimes, I think I'll go for a walk, see ya" Natalie told him as she started walking thru the outside dinning area over to a little garden path.

"wait" John said as he called after her. Natalie turned back before she was on the garden path and saw him run after her.

"Can I keep you company on that walk, I'm really not into weddings" John told her

"Yeah, I kinda guessed that" she said as he walked along side her. They walked in silence for a few minutes when John was curious and had to ask.

"Can I ask you something? And you don't have to answer it if you don't want, you can just tell me it's none of my business but.. well why did you first say Vega for your last name?"

"Normally I don't tell strangers my business but I guess we're sort ot family now and well if I don't tell you Michael or Marcie will so I guess I will"

"I'm just not use to being back to Buchanan, my divorce was just final about a week ago, although we've been separated for awhile, it just became final. So I just forget sometimes."

"It wasn't easy on you was it? The divorce I mean, do you still love him?"

"I'm sorry, I know these are personal questions lets forget I asked them, so is it always so cold here in September?" John said trying to change the subject.

"No, it wasn't easy on me, I'm much better now, and no I don't still love him, it just makes me sad sometimes to think about everything that had happened."

"I usually don't talk about things like this but for some reason I feel like I just want to tell you everything"

"So then tell me, because for some reason I'm really curious to know all there is to know about you"

"Really, you're not just using that as a pick up line?"

"Hey, If the boob line didn't tell you how bad I am at pick up lines, hell how bad I am at talking I don't know what will" John said and they both laughed

Natalie went on to tell John about being Married to Chris for a few months when she made the decision to go into the police academy, Chris was against it but it was something she wanted at the time, something she wanted so bad to prove to her self she could do, so she went to boot camp and after a few weeks she got to come home, she was all set to surprise Chris when she came home and found him in bed with someone else. She told him how devastated she was and how she couldn't forgive something like that, and how Chris the man she thought was the love of her life didn't even try and get her to forgive him, as if he was glad she caught him.

John and Natalie walked full circle around the outside of the palace talking and laughing, it seem to come easy to the both of them, something that usually didn't happen for John, he usually didn't open up to anyone definitely not talk this much to anyone but she made him want to, somehow with out even trying or hoaxing him into it he told her stuff, even stuff about Caitlin his once fiancée. They were in the middle of laughing at a lame joke that John had just told when they came back to the doors they entered from awhile ago, Natalie Saw Jessica looking around.

"There you are, come on its time for Eve to throw the bouquet and she said she wouldn't throw it till you were inside and ready to catch it"

"Jess, I don't think so, I hate that tradition, can you just tell her something for me, maybe like you couldn't find me"

"NO, absolutely not, the bride wants you there and you are going to be there" Jess told her forcible and started shoving Natalie towards the door, she looked to john briefly for help but he just laughed at her face and followed the girls into the reception. John stood back some from the chaos occurring on the dance floor, their was about ten women on the floor including Natalie waiting for his mom to throw the bouquet, he noticed how all the other woman seemed so interested in catching it and it looked that if Nat's dress had pockets her hands would be inside them so to assure she didn't catch it. He saw his mom throw it and she threw it straight to Natalie and she had no other choice than to put her hands out and catch it, she smiled and shook her head as Eve and Bo gathered around her, she was laughing a genuine laugh and he almost melted on the floor, she was so beautiful, he thought, undeniable beautify and she was so unique of a person, he watched her stand next to Eve as Bo got ready to throw the garter, Michael came by and without realizing it at first he shoved him out onto the middle of the floor so he could participate in the wedding ritual.

Bo threw the garter and it came right at John and he had no other choice then to catch it, actually he grabbed it quickly cause there was at least three other men charging at him for it. He smiled not knowing what came next to this ritual, next thing he knew they had Natalie in the middle of the dance floor sitting on a chair, she was holding the bouquet and he stood frozen for a few minutes watching her joke and laugh with her uncle, then they called for him, he walked over slowly and they told him what he had to do with the garter.

"You mean I have to put this up her thigh?" John questioned Eve as he became embarrassed, how was he going to touch this beauty's silky thigh with his fingers and not want more, how was he going to hide the erection that was starting to form in his pants as he thought about it, he shifted himself and he knew he would have to think unpleasant thoughts to get thru this next ten minutes with little embarrassment, he walked closer to Natalie as they instructed and looked into her baby blue eye's and he knee led down next to the chair as they watched each other, she smiled at him and he thought he was going to lose it right then and there. He pushed the garter up and over her toes on her leg, he noticed the red polish and her toenails and he fought back a sigh, her leg was so sexy he thought as he slowly pushed the garter up passed mid calve and he slowly pushed it a little further up just above her knee, he stopped thinking that was a good spot, not wanting to torment himself with going further when he heard everyone start to chant to go higher, red in the face with embarrassment he smiled up at her, giving her a look asking for permission, she smiled back probably just as embarrassed as he and he proceeded to push the garter up her silky thigh to a spot he would think incorporate if it was his daughter or niece but the crowd didn't seem to worried about it. He stopped and let his hand linger on her thigh for a moment and then he had to get out of there, his erection was hardening more and more as he stayed an looked at her. He smiled at her and excused himself once it was over. He walked back outside so that the brisk air could help him regain himself. He heard the door open and he didn't turn to see who was there for he knew it was her, unsure how he knew it was her but he did.

"Pretty embarrassing stuff huh?" Natalie asked him, as he didn't face her. he was afraid to, his erection was just becoming under control and if she was to close right now he might do something to embarrass the both of them. Natalie noticed that he seemed distant, different from earlier, he was acting weird almost like he didn't want her around.

"Are you okay? Is everything OK?" she asked him as his back was still to her.

"Fine, I just need a little alone time," John said and as he said the words he cursed himself and her damn beauty, her damn silky thigh.

"Okay, I'm...I'm sorry to interrupt" she said softly in a disappointed voice, she turned to go back inside and he heard her mumble.

"It was nice meeting, I hope you enjoy your visit here in Llanview" Natalie said and she was gone. John looked back after he heard the door close and he could see her thru the windows, she had gone up to a blonde headed man in the corner and the man put his arm around her. A feeling of jealousy came upon him and he wasn't sure why, he had just met this girl, not a girl, no Natalie was much more than a girl she was a woman and he knew it. He also knew he would have been going into uncharted Waters had she stayed outside with him and not get his hint to leave. He had a feeling, a feeling he was unsure of what come upon him the minute he saw her. At first he thought it was just lust, some sort of sexual desire for her and her amazing body but then she opened up to him, he opened up to her a little, he wasn't even thinking about her amazing body or her beautiful face any longer when he felt aroused again, just the thought of her, her whole package seem to leave him out of control. A few minutes later John was still outside when Michael walked out.

"There you are, mom's been looking for you, I think she realized you hadn't been officially introduced to our new dad"

"What?"

"You know what I mean Bo, our new step dad, and I gotta tell ya John dad would like him, he's a good man, some of the Buchanan's are a little, well lets just say uppity sometimes but Bo and Natalie are real treasures, really truly nice people. Come on"

Eve saw her boys walking towards her and Bo; she smiled at John and introduced them officially.

"It's nice to meet you John, well officially anyways, I know I saw you with Nat and the garter but it's nice to actually get to shake your hand son" Bo told him as he shook his hand.

"So your mom says you've got a few weeks off and you'll be staying in Llanview and catching up" Bo told him and John nodded

"That's great, well be away for a week but after that we'll be back, I don't know if your mom mentioned this but you can stay at our place for the week if you want?" Bo asked him

"Thanks, that'll be nice" John told him

"John can I ask you a favor while I'm gone?" john nodded

"Your mom told me all about your extensive FBI career, and well I don't usually ask this of someone and someone who I know is on Vacation but.. but if you could do me a favor and watch over the police department a bit while I'm gone, nothing major just check things out every couple of days for me, and if there's a problem I can be reached, I wouldn't ask but my chief of detectives just quit last week and the officer filling in is well... well I don't want to say incompetent but.. he's not that on top of things."

" Sure Bo I wouldn't mind"

"Thanks John that's great, I wouldn't have asked but there's also a big case My niece and her partner are working on, and well.. she my niece, if something happens to her.. I.. well she and I are close , she 's the closest thing I have to a daughter and if anything was to happen to her while I wasn't around, I would be devastated." Bo told John and John shook his head. Eve came over and kissed John goodbye and she and BO left for their honeymoon. Before they did they gave John the key and the address to their apartment, John briefly looked over to see Natalie across the room still joking with the blonde man when he caught her eye, they locked eye's for a minute and then she walked away with the man and left the hotel.
