Chapter 10 secret surprises
The past week at the morgue had been crazy. The flu was going around. Both Nigel and Bug were out sick so they were understaffed. It seemed to Jordan that more people were dying then usual. Jordan wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead as she began to cut open a body. Just then she felt her stomach lurch. She quickly dropped her scalpel and ran for the bathroom.
" Great I have it to." She said to herself as she leaned over the toilet. The fact was she'd been throwing up earlier but didn't want to tell Garrett because it meant being even more understaffed.
" Jordan?" she heard Lily's sweet voice call. " You Ok?"
" Oh just great Lil just puking my guts out. Lily moved to where Jordan hung onto the toilet.
" Macy says you need to go home."
" No, that would leave him with almost no one. I just need a minute." She said trying to get up but suddenly feeling dizzy forced her back down to the floor " Oh Shit." She said as she landed back on the floor.
" Jordan you really don't look good you should go home." She couldn't believe how pale and sick Jordan looked.
" Yeah I never throw up this much. If I didn't know better I …" Jordan trailed off.
" I need to go home." Lily helped her to her feet.
" Are you going to be ok to driving home?" Lily asked concerned.
" Yeah, bye Lily." With that she was gone.
Woody walked into the Porgue. In the time that Jordan was gone the two had become close. He had to ask Max something.
"Evenin' Woody." Max said with a smile. He was very grateful to him for bringing his daughter home.
" Hey Max. Can we talk for a minute?"
" Sure what about?"
" Jordan." He said seriously
" What's she done now." He asked with an exasperated sigh.
" No, nothing like that."
" Then what?" Woody wasn't sure how to put it so he just blurted it out.
" I want to marry her."
" What?"
" I mean not right away but sometime in the near future. I love her and Rory. They're my whole life and I want us to all be together. What I'm asking is for your permission."
" Woody I can tell she trusts and loves you very much. So I'd be careful on how and in what way you approach her but you have my permission and my blessing.
Jordan arrived home a nervous wreck. She went straight to the bathroom, thank god it was Woody's night to keep Rory. She waited ten minutes then looked at the test. It was positive; she was pregnant with Woody Hoyt's baby AGAIN!
