Chapter 12

"He was really a gentleman last night, he insisted on paying the bill. And then we walked around the nearest park," Sarah said to the two women she had come so close with the past few months. Sarah saw Abby and Jenny smiling and giving her the "told you so look" well they were right! it turned out she did feel something for Becker and just at that moment she heard the women giggling. She looked in their direction and saw that their heads were turned and were watching Becker talking with Nick in the centre of the ARC's central room. She noticed Becker's face was bright red, much to Nick's amusement as he had obviously seen the ladies giggling while she was talking.

"And what about you Jenny?" Abby asked Jenny nodding in Nick's direction (which didn't go unnoticed by the man). "Anything happen between you and professor?"

Jenny turned to look at Abby after glancing at Nick quickly, knowing she had both of the younger women's attention. She thought for a moment about what she was going to say to the pair. "Well first of all he told me that he loved me." Sarah and Abby's mouths dropped at what Jenny had told them.

"So I told him the same thing. We then went for a walk in the public park outside my house and sat by the lake to cuddle up with each other," Jenny finished showing that Nick had a soft romantic side to the other women in her office. XShe looked out of her office once more and saw Nick walking over to her office with Becker at his side. She still got butterflies in her stomach whenever he walked over to her and it only intensified when he opened the door.

"Abby could you come with me I need your view on this future predator? Becker got a shot of it on his body camera," Nick asked Abby in a calm tone. Abby nodded and followed Nick from the room, leaving Becker behind with Jenny and Sarah.

"How awkward," Becker thought. He heard Nick call to him, "Becker can you come to please?"

Becker nodded to the pair in front of him and left the room quickly. Jenny raised her eye brows at Sarah as if to ask, "What's up with him?"

"Towards the end of our date Becker tripped over a root of a tree we were passing and well, he fell on top of me," Sarah said slowly, watching Jenny's face for a reaction.

Jenny mouthed an "oh". No wonder Becker was slightly nervous around Sarah at the moment. If it had been her and Nick in that situation she wondered what would have happened, she shook her head once more as she was feeling incredibly dirty minded (which she would later blamed Nick for that).

"Anyways, have you and Nick go further than kissing and cuddling?" Sarah moved on from her and Becker to listening to what was the most intriguing relationship between two people that she had ever witnessed.

"No we are taking things slow although he did catch me in just a towel this morning but I also caught him in a towel also so we are even" Jenny replied smiling fondly at the memory of both her and Nick sharing breakfast that morning, exchanging warm loving smiles across the pale oak table within her marbled kitchen.

Sarah watched as her friend seemed to drift off into a daydream and smiled. Nick was like a older brother and he helped her whenever she needed and always reassured her and other team members if things weren't looking up.

…

Nick and Abby left the ARC together after they had finished trying to get everything they could on this creature that Nick and the team had come across in the future. The height was at least four feet higher than an average human being and it somewhat reminded the pair of a werewolf, only without the tail. But with no records or anything found in the future there was no way of telling what it was. Nick looked over to Abby as she was shivering slightly. It was a fairly cold day for being the early summer months. He put an arm around Abby's shoulder to help keep her warm. He felt like a father to Abby and Connor. Helen was never interested in the idea of having children, much to Nick's displeasure.

"Thanks, you're warm Cutter," Abby giggled. She felt like a teddy bear being clutched by a little toddler. Abby always looked up to Nick. Both and Connor always thought that he was their rock that they could lean on when in doubt; he would always be there to comfort when needed but also be their to kick them in the right direction. Nick's and Jenny's relationship was an example to follow. They were professional at all times, well with mild hints of flirting, but outside of work they were truly partners. It could be seen in their body language; the way they locked eyes and spoke with one another. She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Nick's voice.

"Your welcome Abby, now where's that public relations woman of mine? I've heard you ladies have been busy" Nick said to Abby, looking down at the little blonde who stood with him outside the ARC waiting for Jenny.

"Well we were just chatting about how our evenings went and you and Jenny came up the most" Abby replied slowly.

Nick smiled but before he could say everything the sound of footsteps reached his ears. Both Nick and Abby turned towards the sound and saw Jenny walking out of the ARC smiling at them both.

"Nothing's going on I hope. I'd hate to think your cheating on me already Nick," Jenny chuckled. Nick and Abby smiled at her comment before parting from each other.

"I couldn't resist, sorry Jenny," Abby joked before waving goodbye and getting into her car before driving off. With a last wave she pulled out of the ARC's parking lot. Jenny looked over to Nick once more before taking his hand and walking towards her car. She was slightly nervous about going to Nick's home as she had never seen it before, though she was sure she'd love it since she had a basic idea of what it would look like.

"Are you ready to be subjected to my home then Jenny Lewis?" Nick asked the woman he adored beyond anything. Jenny nodded before opening her car door and getting into the vehicle. On the other side of the car Nick had opened the door and slid in next to her, Jenny pulled out of the ARC's parking lot and headed for her house to change and take some overnight clothes just to be prepared if she was in no fit state to drive later.
