Chapter 12: Four Lines

The ride home had been filled with conversations of work. Each one happy they had tied up lose ends before having a day off. Dinner had been simple and light. Woody had waited on Jordan hand and foot since entering his apartment. Night was settling in and so were they.

" Ya know, Woody,I think I like this pampering thing you do."

Having had fluffed her pillow and pulled down the covers for her to get into bed, " Well,you better get used to it. This is something I've been waiting years to be able to do."

Rolling over so that they could look into each other's eyes, " I wish I had known that you liked to spoil your women...I might've said yes sooner."

Smiling widely she leaned over and kissed his lips.

Returning with a devilish grin and a cocky sound to his voice, " Consider yourself lucky 'cause I don't spoil 'em all."

She laughed. She laughed hard until she felt the bile rising in her throat. Jumping from bed she rushed to the bathroom,shutting the door.

Woody rose up and followed. Knocking gently on the door, " Jo,you okay? Can I get you anything?"

After a few minutes of silence Jordan had stopped vomiting long enough to ask for a glass of water. When he had returned she had just finished up rinsing off her face with a cool washcloth and regained her composure.

Opening the door, " Thanks."

" Do you need to go see the doctor in the morning? I mean,they might be able to give you something to relieve the nausea. I hear the bug going around can be nasty."

Placing the glass on the nightstand she climbed back into bed. " If it gets any worse I'll go. I would just like to rest if I can. Lily said she'd check up on me in the morning."

Woody raised his arm so that she could lay her head on his chest. Then he pulled her close.

" I know I'm a hard sleeper but if there's anything you need you wake me,okay?"

" Yes,sir."

He looked at her sternly, " Jordan..."

" I will,I promise. Now let's get some sleep."

With that he kissed her forehead and sleep overtook them.

Seven thirty came quickly. The alarm was buzzing and Jordan was begging for Woody to hit snooze. But the alarm still rang.

" WOODY!" Silence.

She lifted her head from under the pillow to find an empty bed...yet again.

" This has got to stop." She rolled over and stretched to shut the alarm off. 'Loves 'em and leaves 'em', she thought.

Just when she thought she could go back to sleep a knock came at the door. " Who in the world?"

On her way to the door it hit her as to who would be coming at such an ungodly hour on her day off. " Lily!"

Opening the door she was amazed by how awful her friend looked. " Bad night?"

Lily only smirked, " You have no idea. Looks like I wan't the only one."

Motioning for her to come in, " Well,if anyone asks at least we can say we got sick from each other."

Showing off the brown paper bag she had brought with her, " It's showtime. Hope you haven't used the bathroom yet."

Jordan immediately headed to the back of the apartment with Lily right behind her. " No,but I don't think I could hold it much longer. You've got great timing."

Pulling a pregnancy test from the bag she handed it to Jordan, " You first."

" Cross your fingers."

Looking puzzled, " For what,exactly?"

" For the best to come out of this. Whatever that may be." She shut the door only to emerge less than a minute later.

" You're turn. Make it fast. I want to read them together."

" You got it." Lily took a little more time.

When she exited the room Jordan was already pacing. " Problems?"

Lily chuckled, " I was so nervous I couldn't pee on the stick for shaking."

" How long do we wait?"

" Well,it says we can read it in about three minutes."

" The clock says seven thirty-seven."

Lily was shaking Jordan out of her daze. " Hey,the clock says seven forty. You wanna see the results or what?"

Snapping back to attention, " Ya,let's do this."

Standing in front of the mirror they glanced down at the two tests.

Jordan looked a little confused, " And we have a total of four lines. What does that mean?"

Lily checked the back of the boxes and both confirmed that two lines meant..."Positive."

As if she hadn't heard her the first time, " What?"

Lily on the other hand was exstatic, " Jordan,they're positive! We are gonna be able to go through pregnancy together and our kids can share everything!"

" Hold on a minute. Who was the one saying yesterday not to jump the gun? I believe a trip to the doctor is in order before we start making plans."

Trying to calm down Lily agreed. " Do you think we could get in this morning? I just have to know Jordan. This can't wait."

" I have a friend that specialized in this area. I'm sure she wouldn't mind working us in. I just have to let Woody know where I'll be."

Lily was shocked, " I thought we were keeping this hush-hush?"

" We are it's just that he told me last night that if I wasn't feeling better I should go to the doctor. It works out perfectly. I'll just say that you were feeling down too and thought it best to go with me."

Shaking her head, "Lying eyes and alibies...you sure know how to cover your ass,Jordan."

Heading for the phone to call in a favor, " What can I say? I've got skills."

Lily grabbed a piece of paper and started to write Woody a note so that he wouldn't be worried. " It seems as though some of those skills are what got you into this situation."

Jordan simply laughed, " Remind me of that when this is all over,okay?"

Woody returned to the apartment,groceries in hand,only to find a note. Reading it quickly he proceeded to put everything away. " Wow,for once Jordan Cavanaugh actually took my advice. I'm impressed."

Little did he know the real reason behind her actions.
