Chapter 4
The doorbell rang causing the both of them to jump apart, both their faces turning a deep red. The doorbell ring woke up Farrah and she started crying. Kay walked over to her, "Hey baby girl" She stroked the crying baby's cheek, "What happened? What happened?" She whispered before Farrah reached her arms up wanting to be held. Kay picked up the little girl and went over and sat on the couch with Farrah on her lap.
Cameron gave a quick little smile at the scene before he opened the door. It was the pizza guy. "Oh, hi" Cameron gave a quick glance at his watch, "Ah, 23 minutes, looks like I owe you guys for the pizza" he joked.
The pizza guy nodded, "Yup, that'll be 15.83"
Cameron took his wallet out of his back pocket and handed the man a twenty dollar bill, "Keep the change"
The pizza guy smile and handed him the pizza, "Thanks man! Have a good night!"
"Same to you." Cam said closing the door.
He headed back to the sitting area and placed the pizza box on the table, "Hey Cameron?" She asked before he sat down, "Could you just get one of the jars of mashed peas, I think Farrah hungry."
"Yeah, of course." He made his way to the kitchen when he turned around with an amused smirk, "You know what?"
"What?"
"I forgot to get her a high chair."
Kay smiled, "That's okay, you can get her one tomorrow" She watched Cam turn back as he went to the kitchen. She couldn't help but feel her heart flutter like a schoolgirl... she didn't like it that much but at the same time she did. Farrah suddenly pointed in Cameron's direction and made a squeal while smiling. Kay couldn't help but laugh at the girl's actions, "Yeah, that's your Uncle Cameron. He gonna get you a jar of mashed peas because I think you're still too young for pizza" She wondered if Cameron was thinking about what had happened just minutes ago. Lord knows it was starting to consume her mind.
Little did Kay know that Cameron was thinking about what had happened a few minutes ago, how was their relationship supposed to stay 'strictly professional' now? He wanted more with her but he didn't want to push her. He got the jar of baby food and got two plates for him and Kay, took a deep breath and headed back to the couch. "Two plates for pizza and mashed peas a la Gerber."
"Great!" Kay took the mashed peas from him and opened the tiny jar, "You can start eating, I'm just going to feed Farrah first."
"Oh no Madam" Cameron said taking the jar back from her, "This baby feeding time is going to be a team effort and then we shall enjoy the foods of our labour."
"Isn't it 'fruits of our labour'?"
"Yes but..." He motions to the pizza box, "We have foods..."
Kay rolled her eyes as she tried to position Farrah properly, "Come on Farrah, Uncle Cam's trying to feed you." Cameron took a tiny spoonful of the baby food, did the classic 'airplane' bit and Farrah was blissfully eating her food. Kay clear her throat a bit, "Uh, Cameron?"
He lifted his head to face her, "Yeah?"
"I-I think we need to talk about what just happened."
Cameron sighed, giving Farrah another spoonful of food, "Yeah. Yeah, I think so too. Just so we're clear... that kiss may not have been strictly professional... at all."
"I... Where do we stand now?"
"I'm not sure. Do you know where you want us to stand?"
Kay sighed, "I just want to make sure that you didn't... kiss me in some... random moment of weakness. I know that everything's crazy right now but..." She was afraid to tell him the rest of her thoughts, especially since she never thought that she would have to say these words to him again.
"But?" Cameron inquired, hopeful for where this was going.
Kay took a deep breath, "I don't want to be the person who gets in your way."
Cameron put the now-empty jar of baby food down on the table in front of them along with the pizza which seemed to have been forgotten, "What do you mean?"
Kay closed her eyes, "I don't want to be just another FBI agent to you." She forced herself to say, truly unsure about how he was going to react. What surprised her is that Cameron remained quiet, he took Farrah from her arms, gave her a quick kiss on the head and placed her in her playpen again where she immediately became distracted with a rainbow teddy bear and pink dolphin. "Cameron?" Kay asked as she got up from her seat but didn't move from where she stood, "Are you even going to say something?"
What she did not expect was Cameron to turn around, take two steps towards, pull her by the arm until their faces were only centimetres apart, and whisper, "You were never just an FBI agent to me Kay." Before gently placing his hands on her waist and covering her lips with his own. Instead of kissing him back with hesitation, Kay lifted her hands and gripped his shirt collar, pulling him closer (if that was even possible). However, when stupid oxygen became a necessity once more, they pulled away from each other, their hearts beating in sync and their foreheads resting against each other, "Kay I..." Cameron started, looking into her deep brown eyes, wanting to just stay lost in them for a little while longer, "I don't know what's going to happen now, but..."
"But..." Kay echoed, letting go of his collar and placing her hands on his shoulders.
"I do know that I can't imagine doing any of this without you. Those strictly professional confessions of love that I told you a few weeks ago... might not have been strictly professional."
Kay gave a slight chuckle, "Really now?"
"Yeah... I may have also gotten a little jealous when Isaac showed up."
She playfully raised her eyebrows, "Did you?" She then asked a serious question, "Then why did you tell me to go out to dinner with him and not you?"
He simply shrugged, "I thought it would make you happy. I wanted to see you happy."
"So you were willing to step aside because you just wanted me to be happy?"
He gave a shy smile, "Yeah... if you're happy, I'm happy." Kay gave him the brightest smile that he had ever seen her give and then she took his face in her hands and kissed him with all she had. Before Cameron had the chance to deepen the kiss further, a loud squeal of joy was heard causing both Cam and Kay to whip their heads to look at Farrah, who was standing up in her play pen. Cameron gripped Kay's hand in amazement, "K-Kay? Is Farrah standing?"
Kay had the same look of wonder on her face, "T-that's what it looks like." Before Cameron had to be told, he took his phone out of his pocket and quickly snapped a photo of the little girl right before she fell back down onto the cushioned ground.
Cameron saved the photo before putting his phone back in his pocket, letting go of Kay's hand and picking up Farrah once again, "Do you think she's ever done that before?"
Kay smiled, letting the little girl take hold of her finger, "I don't think so, she's barely a year old." Cameron suddenly gave a slight laugh, "What?"
He adjusted Farrah in his arms so he could hold her up with only one and intertwined his fingers with Kay once more, "It's just kinda funny. We seem to be doing this whole thing out of order." Referring to how quickly their relationship and even lives had changed within the past day.
"Well, you have never been one to follow the rules perfectly anyway" Kay responded warmly, gripping his hand tighter.
Cam playfully rolled his eyes, "You're not wrong." He replied with amusement before leaning in once more when the door lock clicked.
Kay snapped into cop mode, placing a hand on her holster, "Are you expecting anyone?"
"Uh, not that I recall. Maybe it's just one of the team, needing something." Cameron said as he placed a protective hand around Farrah's little head.
The door opened and Kay pulled her gun out of her holster, "Hands in the air where I can see them! Now!"
The person on the other side of the door put both his hands up leaving both Kay and Cameron in utter shock, "What? Kay?"
"Jonathan?"
Cameron almost couldn't speak as he choked out, "Johnny?"
Jonathan's eyes widened at seeing his brother, "Cam?" Jonathan then noticed the little girl Cam was holding, "And little baby-okay, I know I haven't been gone that long!"
So... yeah, this was a bit of a filler chapter in terms of the plot but now, Cam and Kay's relationship is no longer "strictly professional". That aside, Jonathan's back! Whaaaat? Did you really think he was gone forever? I'm gonna level with you all, I have no idea where the story is going or how many more chapters there are, all I know is who the killer is. Have a lovely day!
