This is unbeta'd... again...
...
"Mac? Stella? What are you doing here?" Flack asked surprised.
"We came to see how you two were doing and to talk about some important issues." Mac answered looking serious.
"You are scaring me, man." Flack said letting them in.
Stella walked to the couch and hugged JJ. "How are you, kiddo?"
"Fine, thanks." JJ answered smiling.
Mac sat down on the couch next to Stella and Flack decided to sit on the coffee table, next to JJ's broken leg.
"JJ we need to talk about your job." Mac said and JJ sighed deeply. "I hired you to cover Lucy's maternity leave and now you'd need at least 2 weeks of leave too."
"Mac, I can work! I just need to be sitting down but-"
"You can't, Jamie! You need to rest and someone to take care of you 24/7. I'm gonna talk with my boss and ask for at least the next 2 weeks off..." Flack said determined standing up and grabbing his cell phone.
"Flack, I already talked to the Captain. He is going to give you only one week."
"What? Why? I have more than 5 weeks of holidays left and I guess I should have some sick days too!" Flack said now clearly upset.
"He wanted you to be at the precinct tomorrow. I convinced him to give you a week but not more." Mac answered Flack sighed deeply and sit down again. JJ leaned her body so she could take his hand on hers and squeezed it lightly as Mac started talking again. "Lucy is coming back. Just 4 hours a day for the moment. I can't wait for you to come back, JJ."
"Mac, I understand. Don't worry." JJ said smiling sadly.
"I haven't finished." He said smiling back at her. "I have not one but two job options for you, so you can still work in the lab. One is you working in the morgue. Sid needs help and we often have to deal with animal necropsies and you could be really helpful there. The second option is becoming a CSI. I want you in my team, JJ."
"Mac, I... I don't know what to say. I feel flattered, I really do and both of the options sound really interesting but I would need some time to think about them." JJ said nervously.
"Jamie? What's going on?" Flack answered concerned.
"I... I'm not sure I can... I kind of received a job offer from a veterinary hospital in Midtown East."JJ said shyly.
"That's wonderful, hun!" Stella shouted and hugged her again.
"Why you haven't told me this?" Flack asked confused.
"Could you leave us alone for a moment, please?" JJ asked to Mac and Stella. "Danny and Lindsay are in the kitchen if you want to join them." JJ suggested. Once they left she turned to look at Flack again. "I haven't told you because I'm not sure I can do that job so it would be stupid to even think about it."
"But you are thinking about it, otherwise you wouldn't have told Mac that you needed time." He made a short pause seeing how she stopped looking at him and started to find very interesting to stare at her own hands. "Jamie, you are great with animals. You love being a vet and I'm sure you are an amazing doctor. You have to start trusting yourself!" He answered sitting in the couch next to her.
"It's not that, Blue." JJ sighed.
"Then what is it? The other vets are stupid? They don't pay you a lot? You are going to share this apartment with me now, remember? I own this apartment. You don't have to pay any rent." He said lifting her chin so she was looking straight at his eyes.
"It's an hospital that only treats cats." She finally said sighing deeply.
"And? You don't like cats? I know you prefer dogs but..." He stopped and looked straight at her. She was blushing. "You can't be serious!" She blushed even more and looked away from him as he started to laugh.
"It's not funny, Blue!" She said pouting.
"Yes it is! You are planning not accepting a great job because I am allergic to cats!" He said still laughing.
"It's you or the new job, and I've chosen you! You should be happy and... And telling me that you love me...and hugging and kissing me! Not laughing at me for my decision!" She said angrily.
"That can be arranged." He said grinning and leaning in her direction kissing her cheek. But when he tried to reach her mouth she pulled away.
"Too late." She said seriously.
"Ok, ok..." He said calming down. "But are you sure about that? I could take medication, have shots or whatever it would be needed. I don't care as long as you are doing what you worked so hard to get." Flack said serious too. "What you want to do."
She turned to look at him directly at his blue eyes, then, she cupped his face and kissed him sweetly. "I love you." She said resting her forehead against his, her eyes still closed. "And I'm going to refuse that job. I'm sure more offers would come soon. I've sent tons of resumes and it's not like I can properly work right now so..."
"You think we should tell them that they can come back here?" Flack asked smiling.
"Just a sec." She said pulling him from his shirt to her and kissing him again, this time slow and deep. They pulled apart several seconds later.
"God! Jamie, you are gonna be the death of me!" He said smiling and standing up. "I need something cold." He said and she giggled. "Do you need something?" She looked at him smiling mischievously. "Stop it! I need something REALLY cold." He said leaving the room.
Soon the living room was full again with people. The six sat in the couches chatting happily and drinking the cold drinks Flack brought. Danny and Lindsay had cooked and frozen enough food for the young couple to eat for a week. Mac and Stella were talking to JJ, trying to convince her to choose between one of the 2 options they offered her. After 10 minutes the doorbell rang again.
"Well, I guess that now, I have to be right when I say 'Oh oh, the in-laws'!" Danny said smiling.
"The truth is that it could be Hawkes or Adam or one of Jamie's college friends." Flack answered standing up and walking to the door.
"You would not be that lucky this time." Stella shouted from the couch.
Flack shook his head and opened the door.
"Mr and Ms. Hudson. Welcome. Please make yourself comfortable." He said opening wider his door and letting them in.
"Seems like you have a party in there, son." Lake Hudson said disapprovingly.
"No, sir. Just a group of friends and co-workers worried about your daughter's health, sir." Flack answered smiling.
Lake looked at him and walked to the living room. Hope Hudson waited for Flack to close the door.
"You are doing it great, Don." Hope said squeezing Flack's arm lightly.
"Well, It doesn't seem so." Flack answered rubbing the back of his neck.
"JJ is her baby girl, living in a big and dangerous city, moving in with her boyfriend that carries a gun." Hope tried to explain him.
"Well, I'm a cop. That should calm him down a little."
"It doesn't because he have seen how much she loves you." Hope said and Flack looked at her confused. "If anything ever happens to you she would be completely shattered." She made a short pause. "He is just afraid to lose another daughter. With Emma so far, JJ is the only one that still lets him play the 'Daddy' role." Flack nodded and she continued. " And he likes you, he told me." And with that she walked to the living room too.
Flack stood near the door and let out a breath he didn't even know he had been holding.
