A/N: I DO NOT own any part of the Law & Order franchise, or the rights to the song Haven't Met You Yet by Michael Buble. You know, I thought I was ready to end this story but after a week I realized there were still a few things on my mind. I still have a few lose ends to tie up, so there's going to be a few more chapters. As to how many I don't know, but when I'm officially done with this expect another Munch O/C fanfic, I'm thinking maybe him and a cop named Francesca who transfers. Until then though here's this.I'm telling you now though, these last chapters are going to be really short.
Haven't Met You Yet
"Are you sure you're alright?" John asked as Jodi nearly collapsed into their room. She gripped the wall tightly, leaning against it for support. After finally consummating their marriage the previous night, she had gone into the bathroom only to pass out for nearly an hour. Her dizzy spells were getting continuously worse, and for the first time today she hadn't been able to hide them from John.
"I'm fine." she lied terribly, closing her eyes tightly and willing the room to stop spinning. John stared in concern before closing the door behind them. They were now docked at some island and they were only able to get off the ship for about an hour before John noticed how bad she looked. He knew it couldn't have been sea-sickness because she had been fine the night he took her out on the yacht, but whatever this was seemed to be getting the best of her.
"Come on." he muttered before walking over to pick her up and carry her to the bed. Just as he did so she fell back into his arms, letting out a loud gasp as consciousness left her.
"Shit." John muttered before leaning down and grabbing her legs then carrying her to the bed. When they said muscle weighed more than fat it was no lie. She was almost too heavy for him to carry her.
He set her down before rushing back to the door and opening it.
"Somebody I need a doctor!" he yelled. A family of four staying across from them walked up and the husband said something to his wife before rushing over.
"Everything alright?" he asked.
"No it's my wife. She's been really dizzy all day and she just passed out."
The man nodded.
"One of the couple staying next to us is a doctor. We had dinner together last night. I'll go check to see if they're in." he replied before turning and rushing down the hall.
John turned around and looked back at Jodi to make sure she wasn't throwing up in her sleep. That would be both digusting and hazardous. When he looked back down the hall he saw the man walking towards him with a tall woman, who looked a tad bit like Alex.
"He told me you needed a doctor?" she asked.
"Yeah my wife just passed out. I don't know what's wrong with her."
"Can I come in?"
He nodded before stepping aside.
"Thanks." John said to the man.
"Your welcome. Name's Harry. Let me know if you need anything."
"John Munch, and I will." John replied before shutting the door and walking back into the bedroom where the doctor was sitting beside Jodi, checking her pupils.
"I'm Dr. Lewis. UCLA. I'm sure your wife is okay but I'm going to run back to my room and grab my things okay?"
John nodded before letting her pass. He walked over to Jodi's side and grabbed her hand. She groaned before turning her head and opening her eyes.
"Shit." she swore, looking over at John. After months of trying to make sure this didn't happen when they were together, it finally did.
"How are you feeling?" John asked.
"Like I just got whacked with an anvil how long have I been out?"
"Just five minutes. I found a doctor she's going to check you out."
"Great just what I need on our honeymoon. I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"This sort of puts a damper on things."
John snorted before leaning down and kissing her quickly just as Dr. Lewis walked back in.
"Can you leave the room?" she asked, taking a pair of gloves out.
John nodded before standing up and leaving, closing the door behind him. He walked through their huge suite before stepping into the hallway, closing the door behind him.
As he leaned up against it he finally took everything in for the first time. So now they were officially married. Jodi was his wife. The only thing he really remembered about the wedding was her in that dress. She was the only person in the room, and by far the most beautiful person in the world.
"Everything okay?" Harry asked, coming back from his room.
"Doctor's checking her out right now. " John replied, rubbing his neck.
"It happens. So you here on vacation?"
"Honeymoon. We just got married yesterday."
"Oh congrads man. Where you from?"
"New York."
"Oh. Helen and I are from Seattle."
"Really? What's it like up there?"
"Boring. Rainy. The usual. I guess that's just the expected life of a college professer."
"Oh really where?"
"Evergreen. What do you do?"
"I'm a cop. New York City Special Victims."
"Wow. Guess she's a lucky woman."
"No I'm the lucky one." John replied truthfully.
"Well, maybe you can join us for dinner tonight. Helen and I are taking the night away from the kids."
"That sounds great."
The door opened behind him and Dr. Lewis came out.
"Is she alright?" John asked, immediately forgetting about Harry.
"Oh she's quite fine, just a little dehydrated but she's got something to tell you." Dr. Lewis smiled before leading John back over to her.
"Hey." John smiled as he walked into the bedroom, Dr. Lewis staying out in the sitting room. John sat behind her before grabbing her hand.
"I have something to tell you." Jodi smiled, sitting up and putting his hand on her thigh.
"What?" John asked, leaning in.
"....I'm pregnant." Jodi smiled, her entire face illuminated.
John stared in shock for a moment before tightening his grip around her hand.
"...Are you serious?" he asked.
She nodded excitedly.
"Jodi..." he exclaimed before leaning in and sweeping her into a Casanova kiss.
"We're going to have a baby." she squealed, holding him tightly.
"Now, Jodi you're going to have to start getting plenty of fluids and I'd advise you to set up an appointment with an OB-GYN when you get back home. Other than that you'll be able to enjoy yourself and have fun on the rest of the cruise." Dr. Lewis advised.
"Thankyou so much!" Jodi exclaimed. She nodded before turning and walking away.
"I can't believe this." John said, looking at Jodi as Dr. Lewis left.
Jodi smiled, tears filling her eyes. It was as though God decided to bless her with everything at once.
John kissed her before moving down and resting his head on her stomach. She smiled and closed her eyes. Now this was the best moment of her life.
***************
"Harry, this is my wife Jodi." John introduced her to his new acquaintance. He couldn't help but smile as he watched Harry's eyes nearly fall out of their sockets.
"Great to met you." Jodi smiled, shaking his hand.
"Jesus...you weren't kidding about being lucky to have her." he grinned, eyeing Jodi from head to toe. His wife stiffened a bit next to him.
"Let's grab a table." Jodi smiled. Everyone nodded in agreement and Jodi smiled as she felt John's hand around her waist. She leaned into him, tightening her grip around his body. She had been unable to stop touching him since she received the news that she was carrying his child.
She smiled as they sat down and crossed her legs.
"What can I get you to drink?" a waiter asked, coming over.
"How does Champagne sound?" Harry asked, looking around.
"None for me thankyou." Jodi smiled, patting her stomach happily.
Harry looked at her before looking over at John and back again.
"You're pregnant?" he asked.
She smiled dazzlingly and nodded.
"Well, in that case...Cristal for us and something and incredible and non-alcoholic for her."
The waiter nodded before turning and walking away.
"So...Jodi is it?...What do you do for a living?" Helen asked.
"Well right now I'm in between jobs and I'll be applying at Juiliard for the fall."
"Juiliard my goodness. How old are you?"
"19."
"You really picked a good one John." Harry laughed. Jodi smiled before turning back to his wife.
"What do you do?" Helen asked, ignoring her obnoxious husband.
"Dance. I've studied since I was 12. I'm going for ballet. I also play the piano and cello."
"Well you're certainly talented at more things than you look." Helen replied. Jodi smiled. She loved women like this. Outside they were bitches but they were actually impressed.
"I'd like to say I'm multi-talented. What about you what do you do?"
"Oh I stay at home. We've got two kids to take care of."
"That must be so hard. Taking care of two kids and I husband. I couldn't imagine going to work." Jodi said, throwing her hidden insults right back at her.
Helen smiled tightly before grabbing her flute as soon as the waiter came by.
Jodi smiled. This was going to be quite a fun night.
