PART 19

“Lizzy! Open up this door right now! Otherwise I’ll knock it off! I’m counting to three. One… two…”

Chris rushes forward to kick the door in just at it opens and falls forward, sliding over the carpet. He looks up at Lizzy who is smirking at him and jumps up.

“Where’s my daughter?”

“Sit down.”

Chris grabs her arm, his eyes shooting fire.

“I don’t have time for this nonsense. Where’s Cassidy?”

“Asleep. Now sit down.”

He sits down, still glaring at her and she sits down opposite him, crossing her legs. Chris shakes his head lightly when he catches himself staring at her bare knee and looks up in her eyes.

“So what’s your problem? You do realize that I could have you arrested for kidnapping, don’t you?”

“You’ve got to be kidding… you know, you’re unbelievable! What was I supposed to do? Leave her there?”

“You should have called me!”

“We did! But you’re not going to see that you’re the one who was wrong here, are you?”

They stare at each other for a while and Lizzy sighs.

“Chris, I don’t want to fight with you. I care about Cassidy. She’s a good kid. She needs you. Please, just… hear me out.”

Chris bites his lip and nods slightly.

“Fine. You have ten minutes.”

“I only need five…”

“Miss Vinson… when you first came here… you wanted to know a lot of things… one of them was whether you have come to us in time.”

Sharni nods nervously, biting her thumb nail while looking at the doctor.

“And? What did the tests say?”

“Miss Vinson…”

“Call me Sharni. Please.”

“Okay… Sharni. Even if we start the treatment immediately… the inflammation has spread throughout your body too quickly. There really isn’t anything we can do.”

Sharni looks at him, her eyes filling with tears.

“How… how much time…?”

“A few months. Three maybe. Five at most.”

“Jon? Do you want kids?”

Jodi looks at Jon seriously and he shrugs.

“I don’t know… I guess someday… haven’t really thought about it. Why?”

Jodi strokes over her flat stomach, biting her lip.

“Well… I think… I might…”

“Jodi, just say it.”

Jodi sighs deeply.

“Okay, here goes. I’m pregnant.”

Jon sits up so fast that Jodi almost falls off the couch. He catches her in time, looking at her disbelievingly.

“Pregnant? How did that happen?”

Jodi pulls a face.

“Well, you have a man and a woman…”

“I had biology, thanks. I mean… we… didn’t we use… we did…”

Jodi shrugs, looking at him seriously.

“It’s not a mistake, Jon. I went to the doctor and they gave me a 100% guarantee. I am pregnant.”

Jon shakes his head lightly.

“I… I need to go for a walk on the beach… clear my head. See you later.”

He walks off and Jodi bites her lip nervously, closing her eyes.

“Please don’t let this come between us, Jon…”

“The truth is… I was angry because I have been neglecting Cassidy. Not because I want to… it’s just… every time I look at her, I see Kelly. And that hurts so much.”

Lizzy nods quietly and sighs.

“I can understand that. But at least you have Cassidy to remind you of what you had. Your daughter thinks the world of you, Chris.”

He smiles spontaneously and nods.

“She thinks the world of you too.”

“So… do you think if we work together we can make a decent human being out of her?”

“We might!”

They laugh and Chris looks up, his eyes walking through the room. He feels a little twitch in his heart when his eyes fall on a picture on the wall. A picture of Lizzy with a tall guy, looking down in her eyes lovingly.

“That your boyfriend?”

Lizzy looks at the picture and quickly touches her hand before looking back at him.

“No. We… were engaged.”

“What happened?”

“He… died. Cancer.”

“I’m sorry.”

“It was a long time ago.”

“That’s why you said that… I have a reminder?”

“Yeah. We wanted to have a lot of kids, but… the wedding never happened. He was diagnosed two months after the engagement and he died three months later. So…”

She shrugs and smiles bravely.

“But I guess everything happens for a reason. If he didn’t die… I would have stayed in England. But I decided to come here…”

“I’m glad you did.”

P.S. You are good enough, Rachie... xox if I offended you.

I'll update soonish, promise!

I've been searching high, I've been searching low and I haven't found any sign of life of this great fic for a while. I've missed my fix of this fic especially that of Lizzy, Cassidy and Chris. Please update when you can.

[rachel&kim]

Hello! I don't know why I never found the last few updates. Poor Sharni

I'm so glad you're writing again Kyle!

[ilovekateritchie]

Hey I forgot about this fic... My bad... Lol here's the next update though..

PART 20

“Hey.”

Jodi looks up anxiously when Jon re-enters the room and he sits down next to her, taking her hand.

“Sorry for storming off like that… I… I was shocked.”

Jodi nods silently.

“So was I.”

“Where do we go from here? What do we do? I mean… a kid… that’s a big deal, Jodi!”

“I know. And it scares me to death. But… a part of me is so excited, Jon. I don’t know…”

“Well… we didn’t plan it. At all. But it happened and we have to deal with it.”

Jodi bites her lip.

“So…?”

“So let’s hit the shops! We have a baby room to decorate!”

“Fancy running into you here.”

Paul glares at the taller, blonde guy and Darin turns around with a smirk.

“Nice to see you too, Paul. Here’s a friendly warning – kiss my girlfriend again and I’ll kill you.”

Paul grabs Darin’s collar, pushing him against the wall.

“Listen to me. You stay away from her. Touch her one more time and I’ll call the cops.”

“Ooh, I’m so scared. Kate wants to be with me, Paul. Me. Not you.”

Paul shakes his head disgustedly.

“You’re sick. Why would she want to be with you?”

Darin shrugs, still smirking.

“If she didn’t want to be with me, why did she hop into bed with me?”

Paul glares at Darin angrily.

“That’s a lie.”

“Is it?”

Paul lifts his hand, hitting Darin as hard as he can. The next minute they are rolling on the ground, fists flying and blood spilling. Paul only lets go of Darin when strong arms pull them away from each other. There’s the flashing of a camera and a security guard takes Paul’s arm firmly.

“I think you should come downtown with me…”

Lizzy hands Chris a glass of wine and sits down again, eyeing him interestedly.

“So what made you decide to become an actor?”

Chris lifts a brow.

“I heard it’s the best way to get a girl.”

Lizzy laughs and he shakes his head.

“Seriously though… I don’t know. I just couldn’t see myself doing anything else. What made you decide to become a teacher?”

She lifts a brow and smiles.

“I wanted to corrupt the minds of little kids… Actually, I just wanted to do something where I could reach out to people. Help them. I love children and I want to be able to teach them something.”

“Ah. Noble.”

“You have no idea!”

Chris lifts his glass, his eyes fixated on her face.

“Well, I’ll drink to that.”

“He started it!”

Paul glares at the young cop and he sighs.

“Mr. O’Brien, I have several witnesses stating that you hit him first.”

“He was having a go at me!”

“Oh?”

“The guy hits his girlfriend, I’m not the one who is supposed to be in here!”

“Oh, I like that!”

Jon points at a blue blanket with animated cars on it and Jodi frowns.

“What if it’s a girl?”

“Good point. When will we know?”

“In a while, be patient. But at the moment, stick to neutral colours. No pink or blue, okay?”

Jon pouts and looks at her like a little boy.

“Yes mommy.”

Jodi laughs spontaneously and kisses him softly.

“I love you. Thank you for handling this so well.”

“What are you kidding? I’m going to be a dad. It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. And that kid is going to have the most beautiful, amazing mother imaginable.”

“Not to mention a great dad.”

Jon grins, kissing her tenderly.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”
