"They're asleep," Jordan said less than an hour later as she joined Woody on the couch at her apartment. Mateo and Isabel were both sleeping in Jordan's bed just a few feet away. "Long day. Wore them out. Wore us all out, I think. I'm beat."
"Do you want me to go then so that you can get some sleep?" Woody asked but Jordan shook her head.
"No…I want you to stay," she said as she took his hand and smiled. "Listen, Woody, I know that when we finally got together and admitted our feelings for one another, things were different. You didn't sign-up for two kids. What I said on that mountain before we were rescued still applies. I'm not asking for anything here. If this isn't what you want, then I won't hold it against you if you want out of this relationship." Woody didn't respond right away as he thought about what he wanted to say. Finally, he looked at her with a soft smile.
"Jordan, all of this…you and me getting together, you getting the kids, the showdown with their dad…its all happening so quickly and it has been a lot to take in, but it has helped me to realize something…." Woody stopped for a moment to figure out how to put into words what he wanted to say.
"What, Woody? What are you trying to say here?" Jordan asked.
"When I got here and saw that man pointing that gun at you, I have to say, I have never in my life been more scared. Not even when I got show a couple of years ago. Then when you stepped in front of Rodriguez to protect those two kids whom you just met…that took guts, Jordan. I was…I am…so proud of you. You have a lot to offer Mateo and Isabel and I cannot think of anyone more perfect for them than you. I know you will take good care of them and raise them right. I thought I might lose you today, Jordan. I've experienced loss before and as horrible as it was to lose Devan and Lu when they were killed, losing you would have been unbearable and I don't think I would survive it. I want and need you, and most importantly, I love you."
"So you're saying…" Jordan began but Woody cut her off.
"I'm saying that it looks like you're stuck with me, Jordan Cavanaugh. That is, if you want to be…." Jordan didn't say a word; she just cupped his face in her hands and kissed him. As their lips parted, Jordan rested her head on Woody's shoulder and tightened her grip on his hand.
"Of course I want to be. You and me…we're like Brangelina only without all the paparazzi and of course, money. We're WoJo." She said with a laugh. "You and me. That's how it should be. That being said, I gotta get some sleep. Lily is going to watch the kids for me tomorrow so I can go looking for a place big enough for the three of us because obviously this place won't cut it."
"How about I come with you and we look for a place big enough for four people?" Woody said as Jordan popped her head up and looked at Woody with a bit of surprise on her face.
"You want to move in together?" Jordan asked. Woody smiled and nodded.
"I don't want to be away from you ever again and I would like to help you take care of Mateo and Isabel. Those kids are pretty adorable." He smiled and continued, "It's a big step, I know, but it feels right to me. How about to you?"
"What I think is that we should get to sleep so that we can find a place for all of us to live tomorrow, aaaand, roomy, I think that you should kiss me." Jordan said without missing a beat. Woody was all too happy to oblige.
