Chapter 3:

Careful

"I'm telling you, I'm fine." Cindy assured her husband as they walked into her office.

"All, I'm saying," her husband grumbled, "Is that you could wait a little longer."

"It's been three weeks!"

"Four is a really nice number."

"No!" He sighed as she walked into the lobby, where she was immediately surrounded by staff. There were 'welcome back!' balloons and a cupcake display waiting for her. She greeted everyone happily and eagerly accepted their hugs and well wishes. She was about to go drop things off in her office when a sudden shot of pain burst through her, forcing her through her knees. "Ohhh…" Jimmy was at her side in a moment, wrapping his arm around her and supporting her against his body. Knowing what he was about to say she went on the defensive, "I am not going home. It was a minor thing."

His eyes narrowed as he helped her into her office and set her on the couch. Jimmy wasn't stupid, he knew that when Cindy was on the defensive that there was nothing that he could really do to change her mind. He simply looked at her for a long moment before saying, "Fine." He pulled out his cellphone and dialed. "Lisa, clear my schedule for the day. Any calls forward them to my cellphone. I won't be in the office today." He hung up and faced his wife's look of fury. "Look, if you won't go home then I am going to stay with you. Your choice."

"Fine."

The last time she had this many visitors was when she put away the Bedtime Rapist. People came to her door to see how she was going, catch her up on things in the office, and offer the latest gossip. The lingered, however, when they saw her husband on her couch laptop in front of him, keeping his multibillion dollar company running smoothly. So far, she had kicked out about twelve people. She gritted her teeth as another bout of pain shot through her.

"What hurts?" Came Jimmy's voice.

"Nothing."

"Cindy-"

She looked up to meet his concerned gaze. She sighed. "Everything."

He nodded. Sitting like that probably isn't good for you. He scooted over on the couch and patted the spot beside him. Grabbing her stack of files, she joined him. She curled up next to his side and he wrapped an arm around her waist.

"What are you working on?"

He smiled. "Just some stuff for our fundraiser next month. It's a big deal and everything needs to be perfect."

She laughed. "Don't you have people for that?"

"I do," He paused to kiss her nose. "But considering it will be the first time I introduce my amazing wife to everyone, it needs to be flawless." She gave a hum of agreement as he kissed her again.

"What are you two doing?" Alexz asked Jade and Morgana as she rounded the corner to see them crouched outside the DA's office. Morgana put a finger to her lips and pointed inside. Rolling her eyes, but still fairly curious herself, she also peeked in. Jade leaned in over her shoulder and smiled. It was like something off a Hallmark card, the husband and wife curled together. Cindy was buried deep in her file, Jimmy concentrating hard on his laptop screen. But every once in a while, his gaze would travel over to his wife. When he was satisfied that she was okay, he would turn back to his work.

Alexz leaned back a smile tugging on her lips. "Get back to work you two!" She scolded before walking the other way to her office. The best way to describe Jimmy and Cindy?

Soul mates.
