Well, as usual, I am writing blind, cuz I have no clue exactly where this will go. I know that some are eager for this to start, so I'm going to give it my best with no promises.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Jinny awoke disoriented. She looked around her at the room and then at the state of her undress and mumbled to herself. Waking up in strange places brought back memories she did not care to relive; memories of waking up with hangovers in beds occupied by unfamiliar, nameless faces. A reassuringly familiar face popped around the corner, smiling. New memories flooded out the old and Jinny smiled in return.)

Teddy: Did you say something?

Jinny: No. But I was just thinking about how sexy you look in that towel.

Teddy: Oh? Really? (stepping completely into view; takes towel and throws it back into the bathroom) How about now?

Jinny: Not bad. (smiling) Come here and let me admire you up close.

(Teddy walked slowly across the floor stopping occasionally to pose. By the time he reached the bed, Jinny was laughing. She pulled the sheet up closer around her neck as Teddy crawled up onto the bed. He pulled the sheet out of her hand and covered himself as well. Still laying on his stomach, propped on his elbows they stared into each other’s eyes momentarily. Teddy leaned over and nudged her with his shoulder. She rolled over on her side and slid her arm across his back. She kissed his shoulder and he reached over and kissed her forehead.)

Teddy: So, how does it feel to be Mrs. Blumenthal?

Jinny: (smiling) I thought being 33 and NOT being married made me feel old.

Teddy: Oh, come on, you’ve been married a total of (looking at his watch) fifteen hours.

Jinny: I know. I still can’t believe I’m actually here. You know, when I first woke up, I thought I had been drinking again.

(Teddy reached over and kissed Jinny. Their kiss quickly turned passionate and Jinny’s hands rose to Teddy’s shoulders and then to his back. As one hand caressed his back and shoulder, the other went around his neck, pulling him closer. She scooted herself over, underneath his body, kissing his chest. Teddy bent his head down, preventing Jinny from continuing. He began to kiss her neck, making her draw in a breath and sending chill bumps down her arms. Jinny attempted to push him away, but she was easily subdued as he continued from her neck down her chest and to her stomach. He returned to her neck, then after several minutes back to her lips where he stayed.)

(Jinny pushed Teddy away to take a breath, and then continued full force. When he took her, fireworks erupted inside her and she gasped, digging her short nails into his shoulders. Teddy winced but did not stop, nor did Jinny attempt to make him stop. For Jinny, this part of their relationship seemed to get better with each passing day instead of worse, as most people said it did. She thought to herself, she could get used to this.)

(They lay in each others arms afterwards for a long time, not talking. Jinny felt comfortable here; safe. With Teddy it was different. Usually after a long night in the arms of a stranger Jinny felt compelled to explain herself, generally stumbling through the house gathering articles of clothing strew in the heat of the moment; putting herself back together like a puzzle she could never quite figure out how to work. Jinny was proud of how far she’d come in the past year or so. She was beginning to like herself again. Something that she hadn’t done for a very long time. It had gotten to the point that she didn’t even bother to look at herself in the mirror because she couldn’t stand to see the person she had become. “Mrs. Theodore Blumenthal.” She said those words to herself. Yes, it would take some getting used to, but she was positive that she liked it.)

Okay, so I've proven that I'm going to be as slow on this fic as I was on the previous one and I'm sorry. I start school in August and for two weeks in July, so you may get this one even slower (if you could imagine) than the last one. But as you all know, I'm slow, but sure. Here's more...........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(The remainder of their week in Vegas was much like this one. They saw few of the sights, and spent the majority of their time indoors entertaining themselves. Their trip home was uneventful. Sunday night, Jinny stood in the middle of her bedroom in the midst of boxes that she had not long ago unpacked. Teddy walked in quietly, startling her as he put his arms around her.)

Teddy: Hey, you’re in deep thought.

Jinny: Yeah. I was just thinking about returning to work tomorrow.

Teddy: Oh? As Jinny Blumenthal?

Jinny: (turns around smiling) Yeah. You know, maybe I should ask for Mag’s gun before I spring this on her.

Teddy: Why?

Jinny: Incase you don’t understand women, I just got married without even telling my best friend.

Teddy: Jinny, she’ll be happy for you.

Jinny: You don’t know my partner.

Teddy: (smiles) I’m sure she’ll be understanding and forgiving.

Jinny: (rolls her eyes) Like I said, you don’t know my partner.

Teddy: (leads her to the bed) Let’s get some rest. It’s been a long week. We still have to have dinner with my parents tomorrow night, so don’t forget.

Jinny: (heavy sigh) Don’t remind me.

Teddy: You underestimate my parents, Jin. They’ll be happy just knowing I’m happy. And you need to set up a date for us to tell your family.

Jinny: That I intend to put off for a very long time.

(Teddy turns as he’s dressing for bed. He smiles at her as he watches her go into the bathroom and close the door. She returns in a man’s dress shirt, at least two sizes too big for her and her hair down, loosely draping over her shoulders. She runs her hand through her hair as she waits to climb into bed until Teddy precedes her. She climbs in and rests her head on his chest once he turns out the light. There is mostly silence as they hold each other, tired from their trip. Jinny drifts off to sleep first, turning over and resting her head on her pillow. Teddy reaches over and turns the lamp on his bedside off and settles into bed for a good night’s sleep.)

(Teddy was up with the alarm the next morning. He kissed Jinny several times, but she ignored him, trying to sleep in. Teddy finally turned the radio back on, on the alarm clock and left to shower. Once he was out of the shower, he informed Jinny of the time. She rose quickly, brushing by his waiting arms, and jumped in the shower. She rushed around quickly afterwards, avoiding Teddy altogether as she rushed to get ready for work. He watched her quizzically for a while, then left to fix himself breakfast. As he had his breakfast and was preparing himself to leave, Jinny came rushing out of her room, working on getting her holster on. She grabbed her leather jacket and met Teddy as he was preparing to walk out the door. They stopped, faced to face and Teddy smiled, Jinny smiling in return.)

Jinny: (slightly embarrassed) I’m really sorry. I’m just not a morning person.

Teddy: That’s okay, really. I’ll walk you out.

Jinny: (nodding) Okay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, there is the latest installment of my latest fic. If you have any comments, please feel free to voice them, even if I will probably ignore anything negative, lol.

Gee, am I such a confusing person? Is it just cuz I'm a blonde or what? LOL I know you've all been (not-so) patiently waiting for more so here it is.........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Teddy stopped at her car long enough to kiss her gently, slowly. They then parted ways, Jinny heading toward the station followed by Teddy in his car. They met up once again in the parking lot at the station and talked on their way inside. They both stopped for coffee and Jinny stared at the elevator doors before she gathered up the courage to enter. Teddy reassured her everything would turn out fine and she watched him head to his own office, until the elevators doors blocked her view of him. She took another deep breath as she entered the Felony Division. As she walked by her partner, Magda looked up.)

Jinny: (looking toward Magda even after she’d passed) Hey.

Magda: Hey, where have you been? I’ve tried to call you since Tuesday and haven’t been able to reach you at home, at your dad’s or on your cell. I was worried sick. I even tried to call Teddy and all his office would tell me was that he was out of town on personal business.

Jinny: Yeah, um, sorry about that. I kinda went with him. We would have let you know, but it was late when we decided to leave and early when we actually left. I didn’t want to wake you or Ben, I knew he had school. (lying) It was late when we got back last night.

Magda: (softer) Everything’s okay, though, right?

Jinny: Yeah. (nodding) Everything’s great. (pause) Just great.

Magda: (relief in her voice) I’m glad to hear that. But next time you plan on taking off for nearly a week, tell somebody, okay? (going to sit back down, then turning back to Jinny) Oh, and call your dad. He’s worried too.

Jinny: Okay. (looking at her watch; she picks up the phone and dials a number)

(After hanging up with her dad, Jinny turned back to see Kate walking out of her office, case folders in hand. Yes, it was back to the old grindstone once again. Though Jinny wouldn’t have admitted it to anyone, she was glad to be back. Glad she could concentrate on something other than her difficult, mixed-up life for a while.)

Kate: Jinny, how’s that ankle?

Jinny: A-number 1, Cap. What’cha got for us?

Kate: (handing Jinny the folder)

Jinny: (opens the folder)

Kate: Kidnapping. San Francisco Memorial Hospital. Third floor; nursery. Officer Alvarez took the initial statement last night. Nursing coordinator is there waiting for you.

Jinny: (as she rises and heads out the door with Magda) We’re on it.

Kate: CD, Nate.

Nate: Mornin’, Cap.

Kate: Murder. 438 Shea Boulevard. It’s the Cassis Center. Mr. Cassis apparently has a late appointment last night. Cleaning lady found him in his office this morning, dead.

Nate: You know, one of these days people are going to get tired of being criminals. I’m going to wake up and come work one morning and find I don’t have a job anymore because the world has all of the sudden become peaceful.

CD: (rolls her eyes) Its a beautiful dream.

Kate: (no comment, just turns and walks back to her office)

(Jinny and Magda get in their car and Jinny pulls out onto the street in front of the police station. Their drive starts out peaceful, though Jinny can feel Magda’s gaze. She know it’s just a matter of time before she gets the third degree about her week out of town. As if on cue, Magda begins her questioning.)

Magda: So, where did you and Teddy go this past week?

Jinny: We went out of town.

Magda: I got that part earlier.

Jinny: Mag, come on.

Magda: Okay. I understand. We’re best friends, Jinny. (nodding) But I know that there are things that sometimes (trails off)...

Jinny: (takes her eyes off the road momentarily to look at Magda)

Magda: (sighs)

Jinny: (changing the subject) So, did Cap give us a name for this nursing coordinator?

Magda: (looking through the folder she’s now holding) No. No name.

LOL, ks. You are so very cute.:p

Here's more......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Jinny pulled up in front of the hospital’s entrance. They got out of the car and headed for the entrance when a security officer approached them.)

Officer: I’m sorry, but it’s a fire hazard to park your vehicle....(trails off as Jinny and Magda both flash their badges) (in defeat) Of course. You ladies have a nice day.

(Jinny and Magda don’t speak as they wait for the elevator. They get in the elevator and ride quietly listening to the different conversations going on between the hospital employees and the visitors. They tune out much of the conversation going on, but pay attention to some visitors already talking about the goings-on of the previous night. As they make their way out of the elevator behind the visitors.)

Jinny: (watching the visitors continue on down one of the hospital corridors) News travels fast.

Magda: So, I see.

Jinny: (walking up to the nurses desk) Excuse me.

Nurse: Can I help you?

Jinny: (as she and Magda flash their badges) Yes, I’m Inspector (pause) Exstead, this is Inspector Ramirez. We’re with the SFPD. We’re here about the occurrences of last night. We were told to ask for the nursing coordinator.

Nurse: Of course. She’s in a meeting right now. If you’ll have a seat in the waiting room around the corner, I’ll let her know you’ve arrived.

Magda: Thank you. (as they turn and head for the waiting room) What? You forget your name?

Jinny: (looks at Magda; says nothing)

(After about an hour of sitting in a small room with a man and three children ranging in ages from about nine to two, Jinny began to get perturbed. Magda watched as the two year old climbed onto Jinny’s lap for about the tenth time in the hour. No matter how many times Jinny handed the small child to Magda, it never curtailed her desire to be with Jinny. Even the father had given up on removing the girl. The small girl finally seemed to have lost her steam as she lay her head on Jinny’s shoulder and wrapped her small hand in Jinny’s hair. The other hand found Jinny’s cheek which she rubbed until her small hand dropped in exhaustion. The father finally retrieved the small girl, apology on his face.)

(Several minutes later a nurse appeared to inform the man that his wife has just delivered a healthy baby boy. Jinny thought that was all the man needed was yet another child. The nursed turned to leave as Jinny rose.)

Jinny: Excuse me. We’ve been waiting for over an hour. We’d really like to...

Nurse: I’m sorry, but Ms. Karon is in a meeting. It shouldn’t be much longer. If you’ll excuse me, I have things to attend to.

Jinny: That’s all great. See, I have things to attend to also. Only instead of seeing to them, I’m stuck in a small room with three small children, one of which is growing to believe I’m her mother, I’ve been here so long.

Nurse: (glancing around nervously) Look, I have work to do.

Magda: Yeah? Well, so do we, only you’re not making that very easy for us.

Nurse: We’re doing the best we can.

Jinny: Well your best obviously isn’t good enough, or we wouldn’t be here.

Nurse: (glancing around them to see if the man had overheard) (sighs) (opens the door and indicates that they should precede her) I’m sorry. I’ll see if Ms. Karon can see you now. But she IS in a meeting.

Jinny: (looking at Magda) Did I say something?

Magda: I didn’t hear anything.

(The nurse indicates that they are to wait at the desk as continues on. After a few minutes, she returns with another woman and a man. They extend their hands to shake with Jinny and Magda.)

Lady: Inspectors.

Magda: Ms. Karon?

Lady: No. I’m Libby Simpleton. I’m the CEO of the hospital. This is Byron Free, our Chief Security Officer. He was called in when they first discovered the baby was missing last night. Please follow me. We can talk in the conference at the end of the hall. (once in the small room and seated) Ms. Karon was the nursing supervisor on duty last night. She failed to activate security measures as soon as there were rumors of a missing infant. She is, as we speak, being questioned by members of our security staff.

Magda: We really need to speak to her ourselves.

Libby: I understand that, and as soon as our security officers have completed their inquiry, we’ll be happy to see to that.

Jinny: Were you here last night when this incident occurred?

Libby: No. Not initially, but I...

Jinny: Then we’ll speak to Ms. Karon, now.

Libby: I understand your desire to...

Jinny: You know, this is really getting us nowhere in our investigation. And I’m sure you’d really hate to be charged with obstruction of justice. Because the longer we have to wait to question the persons directly linked to the incident, the less likely we are to find this baby alive; if we find this baby at all.

Libby: (looks like she’s just been slapped in the face) Of course. I’ll make sure to send her back immediately.

Magda: (watches her walk away) Thank you.

dovesong
05-28-2002, 09:38 AM
Well, I didn't make that three in row yesterday. Didn't want to shock too many bodies, I still need readers. But here's more.......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Jinny and Magda watched the security officer and the woman leave before exchanging glances. Jinny shook her head in disbelief at the woman’s attitude. Before long there was a knock at the door and a woman entered. She was tall, blonde and about their own age. Neither inspector turned to see who has entered.)

Jinny: (still not turning) I’m Inspector Exstead, this is Inspector Ramirez, Please come in and have a seat Ms. Karon.

Karon: Jinny? Jinny Exstead?

Jinny: (she and Magda both turn; Jinny gives the woman a curious look)

Karon: Shannon.

Jinny: (still not sure)

Karon: Shannon Haynes. We went to high school together. (laughs) At least when you came to high school.

Jinny: Shannon. Right. (extends a hand; they shake) How are you?

Karon: Good. Until last night anyways.

Jinny: Right. About last night. We need to ask you some questions about last night. (indicating a chair across the table) Have a seat.

Karon: (sits)

Magda: Can you tell us what happened last night?

Karon: (nods; begins quietly) My shift started at seven. We work twelve hour shifts. I, um, it was a pretty good night, until about two when I got this call that an infant might be missing. I came up here and we took all the babies back to the nursery and did a head count. One was missing and so we called a Code Pink. That’s what we call it here. Then we called 911.

Magda: So this was a newborn? Or was just a sick child?

Karon: This floor is dedicated solely to labor and deliver, and postpartum mothers.

Magda: Really? Because when I had my son here, it was also Pediatrics.

Karon: The city is growing. We had to expand to meet the demands.

Magda: (nods)

Jinny: The, um, CEO?

Karon: Libby?

Jinny: Yeah. She told us that you failed to activate the alarm system in a timely manner? What about that?

Karon: Well, I guess maybe. But you don’t want to alarm people by announcing something like that if it isn’t necessary. You know? Parents aren’t supposed to, but they do occasionally take their babies off the floor, or to parts of the floor that are supposed to be off limits. We try to explain that that isn’t acceptable for their safety and the safety of the infant, but they do occasionally do it. They have excited siblings or grandparents, or just friends that want to see the baby, and access is limited in this part of the hospital. So sometimes this is the case when we discover a child is missing.

Magda: Don’t you think that the nurses would have checked that out before alarming even you? We’re talking about the safety of an infant. No one saw anything suspicious yesterday? Last night? How long do you think the baby was missing before anyone discovered it?

Karon: We’re really not sure.

Jinny: I’m assuming the parents are aware that their child is missing.

Karon: (looks down) Regrettably, yes.

Jinny: We’d like to speak to the parents.

Karon: You can speak to the mother. The father isn’t here right now.

Magda: What? Your baby comes up missing and you’re not here trying to discover what the hell happened to it?

Jinny: (looks at Magda and raises an eyebrow questioningly; in agreement)

Karon: The mother is right this way. (leading them down the hall and to an unmarked room) In 356. Her name is Janet Johnston.

Magda: (nods to the woman they had just questioned) Thank you. That’ll be all for now, but I’m assuming that we can contact the hospital to speak with you later if we need to.

Karon: Sure, if I still have a job left after today.

Jinny: (knocks on the door before entering) Mrs. Johnston?

Janet: (wiping away her tears) Yes?

Jinny: Mrs. Johnston, I’m Inspector Exstead. This is my partner, Inspector Ramirez. We’d like to ask you a few questions about last night.

Janet: (nods) Of course. Please. Come in.

Magda: Thank you. (goes to the edge of the bed) I know that this is difficult for you. (takes her hand) But we really need to ask you some questions. Okay?

Janet: (nods) Okay.

Magda: Can you tell us when was the last time you saw your baby?

Janet: Last night about ten. My husband took her back to the nursery when he left. He was going out with some friends. He came back and got his things and left. I called for her at like two to feed her and they said I still had her. I don’t understand where she could have gone unnoticed.

Jinny: So you’re husband took her back to the nursery then left.

Janet: Yes. After he came back here to get his jacket and things.

Jinny: Did you have any other visitors yesterday?

Janet: Just my parents. Jeff’s parents have flown in yet. They weren’t too happy with me having this baby anyways.

Magda: Why?

Janet: (pauses, gathering her composure) Because, it wasn’t Jeff’s baby.

Magda: No? How did Jeff feel about you having this baby?

Janet: At first he wasn’t happy with it, but he saw how happy I was and he kind of got excited about it all too. He even bought the crib. He wanted a son really badly.

Jinny: But you had a girl?

Janet: Yes, but Jeff wouldn’t have hurt her for nothing. You should have seen him yesterday when she was born. He was so proud.

Jinny: (nods) Uh-huh. So where is Jeff now?

Janet: He went out with some friends to celebrate.

Magda: Have you told him yet about the baby’s disappearance?

Janet: He must have had to much to drink last night. I can’t get a hold of him. He must have stayed at one of his friends’ houses. He drank too much sometimes, but he won’t drive.

Jinny: (nods) Well, thank you for your time Mrs. Johnston. When you do find Jeff, (hands her a business card) make sure he contacts us. We’ll have some questions to ask him as well.

(As Jinny extended her hand, offering Mrs. Johnston her business card, Magda caught a glimpse of a second ring accompanying Jinny’s engagement ring. Jinny noticed where Magda’s gaze had been drawn and quickly withdrew her hand. Drawing Magda’s questioning face. Jinny turned back to the woman quickly, trying to downplay the entire scene.)

Janet: Of course.

Magda: Have a good day, Mrs. Johnston. We’re so sorry.

Janet: (begins to cry again) Thank you.

Jin&Mag: (turn and leave)

Magda: (after the door closes) Well, what do you think?

Jinny: I think Jeff is a piece of scum.

Magda: Tell me about it. (opens her mouth to speak as she points towards Jinny’s hand)

Jinny: Let’s get the names of the nurses working last night and pay them visit.

Magda: ( closes her mouth temporarily; nods) Sure.

Well, Jeanie, since everyone else is still in school and you know that I'm in a great mood, I won't punish you by making you wait for more. Have fun at your meeting this afternoon. Here's you something to think about while you work you little fingers to their bones........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(The two stop at the nurses desk and Jinny clears her throat. The nurse which helped them earlier that morning turn to see who was there. She turned back to the nurse she had been speaking to and said something that Magda and Jinny didn’t catch. Jinny was sure she probably didn’t want to hear what was said. )

Nurse: Is there something else I can do for you, Inspectors?

Jinny: (perturbed) Yes. We’d like a list of names and phone number for the nurses who were present on this floor and in the nursery last night. We’ll need to contact them for questioning.

Nurse: (forced smile) Certainly. I’ll just be a minute.

(While waiting for the nurse to return, Jinny felt a tug on her shirt. She turned and looked but initially saw nothing until she looked down. Standing before her was the small girl that had attached herself to Jinny earlier. She was standing with her arms up for Jinny to pick her up. Magda nudged Jinny. Jinny turned to see Magda indicating that she should pick the small girl up. Reluctantly, Jinny did so. The girl’s hands when to Jinny’s face, rubbing her cheeks softly. Luckily, the little girl’s hands his Jinny’s embarrassment. Jinny was only beginning to feel the embarrassment when the small child’s hands moved from Jinny’s face to her stomach.)

Girl: Mommy. Baby?

(The embarrassed father uttered his apologies as he removed the small girl from Jinny’s arms.)

Man: Tell the nice lady, bye-bye, Casey.

Girl: (with hand waving bye over her father’s shoulder as he walked away) Lady. Bye!!

(Embarrassed, Jinny turned back to the desk, putting her head in her hands, elbows resting on the desk. The nurse reappeared with a sheet of names and numbers. She started to speak as she handed Jinny and Magda the list. Jinny was quick to take the paper and begin her retreat to the elevator, Magda following closely behind her, amused. She dared not speak what was on her mind at them moment, knowing Jinny was in no mood for her lighthearted jesting at the moment.)

(Magda followed Jinny into the elevator and down to the bottom floor. Jinny walked around to the driver side of the car and got in. As Magda shut her door and turned, she found Jinny with her finger already in the air.)

Jinny: (she threatened) Not a word.

Magda: (laughs) Oh, come on Jinny. That little girl was attached to you.

Jinny: I am NOT the mothering type. (adding afterwards) And I am NOT pregnant.

Magda: (laughs even harder) I never said you were. (indicating the wedding band Jinny had added to her finger) But, if you were, it’s okay, because that what most married couples do: have babies.

Jinny: (sighs) I was going to tell you, Mag.

Magda: When? You couldn’t trust me?

Jinny: Mag...

Magda: (obviously hurt) No, I mean, it’s okay, really. I’m happy for you, but...I just wish, you would have told me.

Jinny: I’m sorry, Mag.

Magda: That’s okay. Where did you go?

Jinny: (smiling) Vegas.

Magda: Wow. What’s Vegas like?

Jinny: (smile widens) I couldn’t tell you.

Magda: (smiles for the first time) God, Jin.

(Jinny pulls back out onto the road, heading back toward the station to make some phone calls. Her and Magda’s conversation is light during the short trip back. Jinny had been dreading telling her best friend she’d gotten married without her. She wasn’t sure exactly how to even begin to tell her. She was glad it was over, even if she would have preferred a better solution. Magda was disappointed, Jinny knew she would be; but overall, Jinny thought she had taken it well.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LOL, there you go. Now I have to work doubly hard at work tonight to find time to write more. LOL But it's worth it today, cuz I'm happy.

Okay, okay. I get the point, so before I even go to read A Routine, I'll post.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Jinny and Magda showed up at the station at about the noon hour. They chose to have their lunch delivered and invited CD, Nate and Raina to join them. They made several phone calls while waiting on the pizza to be delivered, but once it arrived, they put aside their work temporarily. Their conversation was light. To begin with.)

CD: What are you guys working on?

Magda: Kidnapping from the hospital. What about you guys?

Nate: The usual. Murder. No one seemed to believe it had actually happened, no one knew if he was having any problems, and, here’s the kicker: (as Kate walked by) No one knew the man to have any enemies.

Jinny: (sarcastically) Now, there’s a switch. You guys should have this thing solved in no time with such a plethora of information.

Kate: (turned back on her way to her office) Did I just hear Jinny use a word that contained more than one syllable that didn’t pertain to sex?

Magda: (looks between them and laughs)

Jinny: (to Kate) I only do that to keep you guessing.

Kate: I have to admit, you do surprise me occasionally.

Magda: (quietly, not necessarily meaning to be heard, but not mean to be missed either) You don’t know how many surprises Jinny does have up her sleeve.

Kate: (turns back briefly, but continues walking away)

Jinny: (playfully swats at Magda)

Raina: (eyebrow raised) Sounds like Magda knows something she should be sharing.

Magda: (watching Jinny) (intentionally unconvincing) I know nothing.

Raina: Guess we’ll just have to find out for ourselves. (circles Jinny several times, clucking) Let’s see; hair’s the same color, same length. (to herself as she’s circling) No.... no.... no.... (back to Jinny and Magda) Okay, I give. Come on guys, enlighten us.

CD: (who had been doing her own mental inspection) I agree with Raina, this time.

Nate: (who had been sitting back, feet propped on the desk, eating his pizza silently) Check her finger.

Raina: (looked Nate’s way then jumped up to examine Jinny’s hands)

CD: (looks over at Magda, who is smiling from ear to ear)

Raina: (gasps as she looks at Jinny’s wedding band) It’s beautiful, but I thought it was bad luck to wear the wedding band before the wedding ceremony. Have you guys set a date yet? You and Magda should have, like, a double wedding ceremony.

CD: Yeah, that way, I only have to buy one dress. (smiles) Congratulations. I see you made the best of your week off.

Jinny: (blushing) Thanks.

CD: Thanks? That’s it? That was intended as a cry for details.

Magda: (interrupting) Forget it. I haven’t even worked the details out of her yet.

Raina: You already got married?! Really?! (excited; too loud) Oh, my gosh. Congratulations!! I can’t believe it.

Kate: (hearing the commotion, steps out of her office) Everything okay out here?

Raina: (opens her mouth to speak)

Jinny: (waves a hand and beats Raina to speaking) Everything’s great here. Have some pizza,

(Kate looks around momentarily at her inspectors watching Jinny, and Jinny watching anything else, but Kate. Kate knew that meant she was hiding something, but could tell all were in a jovial mood and decided not to press matters. As she turned to go, she heard Magda begin a tale she thought would be interesting and turned back to listen.)

Magda: And to top it all off, you should have seen Jinny this morning while we were waiting to speak with the supervisor who was working last night.

Jinny: (embarrassed) Oh, Mag, come on. Do we have to go through this? Do I have to relive this. It was traumatizing enough the first time.

CD: Sounds interesting. I think it merits sharing.

Jinny: (laughing slightly) You would.

Magda: Anyways, (interrupting Jinny) We had to waiting in the waiting room on labor and delivery for this woman, because she was in a meeting. Right? And there was this guy there with these three kids. This one little girl was, like, two, and THE cutest, sweetest little thing you could imagine. She fell in love with Jinny. She was climbing on her and bringing her books and toys. She kept climbing on Jinny’s lap and playing in her hair. She even tried to get Jinny to sit in the floor with her, but Jinny wouldn’t do it.

Jinny: She was obviously confused.

Magda: She was obviously in love. Even the dad tried to keep the little girl away from Jinny, but she cried and fought. It was the cutest thing. She finally curled up on Jinny’s lap and went to sleep.

Jinny: I liked to never got her hand out of my hair.

CD: Awww, that is so sweet.

Jinny: That’s all I need is a kid. I’ll pass thanks.

Magda: And when we were leaving, (Magda continued over Jinny‘s loud protests) This kid come trailing back down the hall behind her dad, and finds Jinny. So, Jinny picks her up and she’s like, rubbing Jinny’s cheeks and everything. It was just so sweet. I wish I’d have had a camera. It was a Polaroid moment.

Jinny: (laughs) You mean a black mail moment.

Magda: (shrugs, smiling) Whatever works.

CD: (sweetly) Mommy Jinny.

Jinny: (pulls her leather jacket aside to reveal the weapon at her side) You, know, I have a gun.

Kate: (as their laughter calms down) Being a mother is easier to adjust to than it sounds.

Magda: Thank God. Not that it was easy, but I was petrified when I found out I was pregnant.

Jinny: (nervous) Can we get off this subject, please. I’ve been married a week, you’re already trying to get me pregnant. I hate to disappoint you, but children are not in any discussions Teddy and I have had about our future plans.

Kate: You’re married? I guess I missed that part of the discussion.

Jinny: YES, For the last time, I am married. Now can we please talk about something else?

Kate: (raises an eyebrow, at Jinny’s agitated reaction) Of course. Congratulations, by the way.

Jinny: Thank you.

Kate: What have you found out so far about this case?

Jinny: Not much. The baby’s father went out partying and hasn’t been notified. We’re calling in some of the nurses that worked that floor last night. The first one should be here soon. I think it was arranged for one o’clock.

Magda: Yeah, (looking at a paper) a Betty Harrison, RN, is the first one that we’ve arranged to speak with. She was the mother’s nurse last night. Then a Rose Swiss is coming in. She was the RN responsible for the baby in the nursery.

Kate: (nods) Keep me informed.

Well, I got on here and saw this fic to be at the top and I immediatedly smiled and thought to myself 'she finally posted more.'
Instead I see it was Miranda playing a cruel joke on me. J/K:p
It was her waiting for more such as I am. Unfortunately, that temporary happiness is gone and now I find myself tapping my foot over and over and over again...
Please don't let this trend continue for too long because my ankle is becoming weak.
Post more as soon as you find the chance!
It's great as usual...

Ha ha. Okay, okay. It's short but here's more......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Jinny throws her pizza crust down and picks up another slice. She listens to the conversation Nate and CD are having, trying not to appear obvious. They seem to be arguing about something. They finally turn away from each other and CD heads towards the locker room.)

CD: (mumbling as she passes Jinny and Magda) Men.

Magda: (rolls her eyes) Tell me about it.
Jinny: Oh, I know. (turns to face Magda) We are having dinner with Teddy’s parents this evening. To shower them with the good news. I’m so excited I’m breaking out in hives. (shows Magda the red spot on her stomach that she had scratched repeatedly)

Magda: (raised her eyebrow, laughing) Do they really make you that nervous?

Jinny: Let’s just say, that I didn’t make the greatest of first impressions last year.

Magda: You were drunk?

Jinny: Plastered was probably more like it. I embarrassed them and Teddy in front of all of their closest friends and colleagues.

Magda: (wincing) Ouch.

Jinny: They were very gracious the last time we had dinner together, but I can’t get it out of my mind. I know they still have to be thinking about it.

Magda: Maybe you’re just being to hard on yourself, Jin. People do forgive and forget.

Jinny: Ha ha. (shakes her head) Not people like them, Mag,

Magda: People like them? Come on, Jin. Teddy’s forgiven you. He learned that from someone.

Jinny: (could think of no reply; turns away) Our, um, first appointment should be here soon.

Magda: (nods) Right. You changed the subject.

Jinny: (not turning back to Magda) Yes, I did.

(Jinny and Magda spent the remaining part of the afternoon questioning one hospital employee after another. Each person offered the same story. They knew of, and had seen nothing out of the ordinary the previous night. They took a short coffee break while awaiting the final employee to come in.)

Jinny: (glancing at her watch again) She’s twenty minutes late.

Magda: She worked last night, Jinny.

Jinny: It’s four o’clock in the afternoon. She’s had all day to sleep. I say if she’s not here by four-thirty, we pay her a visit at home.

Magda: I’ll call her again.

Jinny; You’re much to easy on these people.

Magda: (gives Jinny the evil eye as she picks up the phone and dials a number from the paper before her)

Jinny: (waits patiently for Magda to get off the phone)

Magda: (hangs up) No answer.

Jinny: I’ll call the hospital, get an address on her.

Magda: (nods)

Okay, since I've bugged Miranda as much as I feel it's safe at the moment, I'll post more.............

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Jinny wasn’t on the phone for long before she grabbed her jacket and stuck her head in the Captain’s office. Nodding her way out of the inner office, Jinny nodded once again to Magda to indicate that the Captain had given them the go ahead to pay a visit to the lady they’d been unable to contact by phone. On the way, they were exploring options as to why she may not have shown up for her questioning.)

Magda: Perhaps she knows something and she’s too afraid to come forth.

Jinny: Yeah, like maybe she couldn’t find a babysitter.

Magda: (rolls her eyes) Jinny, you know, sometimes people are really just afraid to get involved when they witness a crime.

Jinny: Yeah, and lot of times, people get scared after they’ve committed a crime; and they run, Mag. And if she runs with this baby, you know what the chances are of us finding it.

Magda: I’m not saying that we shouldn’t be exploring this as an option, Jinny. What I’m saying is that you can’t just walk in and start accusing her of stealing a baby. You have to give my theory a chance, just the same.

Jinny: Fine, Mag. I’ll give her five minutes to convince me.

Magda: (rolls her eyes once again) Hey, here it is.

Jinny: (pulls over in front of an apartment building; the both get out of the car) Where we going?

Magda: (looks at a paper) Apartment 517.

(Jinny and Magda try the doors to the apartment building, but are unsuccessful at gaining entrance, that way. Magda picks up the phone and starts to buzz the apartment in question. Jinny takes the phone and slams down the receiver.)

Magda: Jinny.

Jinny: Good, Mag, just give her time to get the hell out why don’t you.

Magda: How else do you propose us getting in?

Jinny: (catches the first person out of the building) Hey, excuse me. Do you have a key to get into this building?

Man: (skeptical at first) Yes, Ma’am.

Jinny: (flashes badge) San Francisco Police. Open the door.

Man: (as he’s unlocking the door) Is everything okay, Officer?

Jinny: It’s Inspector, and everything’s just peachy. Thank you very much, have a nice day, (pats him on the shoulder) buh-bye, now.

Magda: (laughing) Jinny, I swear. Have you ever heard of being nice? You know, please and thank you.

Jinny: (on their way up the elevator) I said thank you. And besides, being nice has never gotten me anywhere. Men like that: being handcuffed and thrown around by a woman, they get off on things like that.

Magda: (smiling) I’ll be sure to ask Teddy about that, the next time I see him.

Jinny: (laughing) Oh, don’t you dare.

(They continue on down the hall until they were a few doors down from apartment 517. Jinny stops Magda and indicates that she should listen. That’s when Magda hears the cries of a small child. Both Jinny and Magda drew their weapons proceed quietly the rest of the way down the hall. As they were about to knock on the door to 517, the door next to it opened up and the man and woman who exited saw Jinny and Magda with their guns drawn, and froze. Jinny flashed her badge, and indicated that they should return to their apartment. The man and woman quickly obliged.)

Jinny: (pounding on the door) San Francisco Police, open the door!!!

(The crying of the another child joined that of the first.)

Jinny: San Francisco Police, you have three seconds to open the door. One....Two...

Well, I missed your birthday, but :birthday:, and here's more.........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(As Jinny was about to say three, and draw back to kick the door, it opened. Standing in the doorway was a young woman , in tears herself, a crying infant, and a screaming toddler. After the initial shock, she stood back and allowed the two inspectors to enter. They introduced themselves and sat down. The small boy calmed down quickly after all the commotion and continued play, but had drug his toys over, closer to his mother. The infant, on the other hand, had not calmed. Magda took the small child and began to coo to it as Jinny began the questioning process.)

Jinny: So, Miss Simms, why didn’t you come to the station at four, like we had agreed earlier?

Simms: The baby has cried all day, (in tears) and I hate to take him anywhere when he’s crying. If feel like people are watching me, thinking I’m a bad mother. He’s my baby, though, I swear. I can get you the birth certificate.

Magda: (looks up from the baby) That’s okay. We’re looking for a little girl. How old is he?

Simms: He’s two months old. I thought he was over the colic. He’s been such a good baby for the last week or so. But he started crying when I got home this morning, and he’s cried all day.

Magda: (bouncing the small boy, who is drifting off to sleep) He’s so sweet.

Jinny: (watches Magda, thinking back to when Ben was little; she smiles, then turns back to Miss Simms) Did you notice anything out of the ordinary last night? Anyone suspicious? (shrugs) Anything at all?

Simms: No. I had taken care of the mother the day before, right after she’d gotten out of Labor and Delivery. The baby was so tiny, and so sweet. I wanted a little girl this time, but I got Jacob instead. Not that I regret it, I love him just the same, but....(shrugs)

Magda: I know. I wanted a little girl so badly. But now that I have my Benjamin, I can’t see why I ever wanted a girl.

Simms: (smiles, and nods) (as if apologize:) I haven’t been a nurse long. I got my permanent license the day I went on maternity leave with Jacob. I’ve been back to work for two weeks. I’m not familiar with everything that goes on there yet, you know. They say to report anything strange, but right now, everything is strange. I wasn’t sure if I should have said anything or not.

Jinny: What did you see?

Simms: I just saw the baby’s father take it toward the nursery and give her to a nurse. Then he came back towards the room. I watched him, because he kept watching me, like he was trying to maybe keep my eyes on him instead of something else. He stopped at the nurses desk and asked me for a sprite for Mrs. Johnston. I turned and got it. I don’t know. I think I saw the nurse go the opposite direction; away from the nursery, but I was paying more attention to him, and not the nurse, and I couldn’t be sure, that that’s what I saw in the back ground.

Jinny: Well, they found the baby’s crib in an empty room down one of the halls next to an exit. So....

Magda: Is there any way that you could identify this nurse?

Simms: No. I really don’t think so. Like I said, I was paying more attention to Mr. Johnston. I’m really sorry. I know I should have said something.

Jinny: Yes, you should have. If those babies get out of the hospital, chances are, we’ll never find them.

Simms: (eyes tear up again) I’m so sorry.

Jinny: We’re done with our questions for now, but we may have more questions for you at a later time. We would advise you not to leave the county for any reason in the near future. And (handing her a business card) If you think of anything else, please feel free to call us.

Simms: Okay. I will.

Magda: (hands the sleeping child to his mother) He’s beautiful.

Simms: Thank you. For everything.

Magda: (winks and nods her head) Sure.

(Jinny and Magda leave the apartment and head for the stairs instead of the elevator. Once outside in the sunlight, Jinny dons her sunglasses. She pauses on the sidewalk and looks around her before she continues on to their car. Once inside the starts the ignition.)

Magda: See, what did I tell you? There are still innocent people out there who are just afraid to get involved.
Jinny: (give Mag, a ‘give me a break’ look) Come on, Magda. You were just as willing to bust into that place as I was.

Magda: (sighs, knowing Jinny is right) So, what are you wearing on your big date tonight?

Jinny: I’m thinking, um, what do you call nun attire?

Magda: (shakes her head) Really, Jinny, they can’t be that bad. Teddy’s a good guy.

Jinny: I know, Mag. Maybe you’re right. Maybe I should just try and let it go, but, I just, I can’t forget it. I made such a fool out him; out of his family.

Magda: Teddy forgave you. That’s all that matters.

Jinny: I guess.

(Jinny and Magda run by the station to pick up their things, and then Jinny drops Magda off at home.)

Magda: Good luck tonight. Let me know how it goes. If you need to, you can call me tonight. Gabe won’t mind.

Jinny: (sincere smile) Thanks, Mag.

(Magda shuts the door and after a few seconds, Jinny continues on to the home she now shares with her husband. Jinny shakes her head at that word. ‘Husband.’ Sounds odd for her to be using that word in context to her life. It was just another thing she’d have to get used to. That and being Inspector Blumenthal. Jinny laughed quietly to herself. Wonder? Jinny thought to herself and speaks out loud to the rearview mirror: Theodore Exstead. Jinny dropped the entire matter as she pulled her car in behind Teddy’s. He must already be inside getting ready for the night. She’d just run up and grab a quick shower. She really hadn’t given a thought as to what she would wear. She hoped she had something appropriate for the occasion. Possibly something white? Jinny laughed to herself as she unlocked the door and stepped inside.)

(Teddy met her at the door as she stepped inside and quickly shut the door when she saw Teddy’s attire. She raised an eyebrow as she studied him. A towel around his waist, he stood, smiling at her. His hair was still dripping, his chest and shoulders still held droplets of water as he hugged her. His kiss was met hungrily by one of her own as they fell lightly against the door. When the door gave, as it closed the rest of the way, Jinny jumped, startling both herself, and Teddy. Teddy laughed as he continued his inspection of her neck, with his mouth.)

(Teddy slid Jinny’s leather jacket off her shoulders and threw it towards the coat rack, as he continued to keep her pinned against the door with his body. The jacket landed in the floor with a light thump, but no attention was paid it. They remained in this position, exploring each other’s bodies with their hands for several minutes, until Jinny pushed Teddy away.)

Jinny: (breathless) Teddy, no. Your parents. I have to get ready. I don’t even know what I’m going to wear yet.

Teddy: (not giving up so easily; still kissing her) Don’t worry, I’ve got that covered. (finally backing off, briefly) I hope you don’t mind, but I bought you something to wear.

Jinny: (eyes wide; skeptical) Oh?

Teddy: Yeah. But, um, (smiles sheepishly) I hope you haven’t gained any weight since my birthday party last year, because, I took the size out of that dress, for this one.

Jinny: What? (half joking) You want to make sure I don’t embarrass you in front of your parents again?

Teddy: No. I just remember you saying, that you didn’t wear dresses frequently, and didn’t have much of a selection. So, (shrugging) I thought, I’d help you out. (apologetic) But, I mean, If you don’t like it...

Jinny: No... No... It’ll be great. It’s just, I’ve never had a guy buy me a dress before. (nods) Thanks.

Teddy: Make sure you like it before you say your thanks. If I did a good job, (slipping his arms around her waist; kissing her) you can pay me later.

Jinny: (teasing) And, if I don’t like it?

Teddy: I’ll pay you. (kissing her again, harder)

(Jinny kissed him briefly, then slipped out of his arms and headed for the room the shared. Laying on the bed before her was a dress that Jinny found difficult to picture herself in. Not because of it’s hideousness, but because of it’s beauty. It was a simple gown in pale blue. Jinny thanked Teddy and quickly retreated to the shower.)

(Jinny showered quickly and took her time dressing. Jinny stroked the material, thinking this was something her mother would have died to see her in even years ago. She tried to push the thoughts out of her head, spending extra time on her hair and make-up, but Jinny continued to see herself as a small child, sitting on the commode watching her mother prepare for a night out with her father. She remember watching her meticulously place each hair. Making sure it would stay for a night of dinner and dancing. She seemed so happy back then. Jinny couldn’t imagine what would have made her kill herself. A tear threatened to spill over, ruining her freshly applied make-up. Teddy came in as Jinny wiped away the tear and took a deep breath, silently threatening any other tear that attempted to make an appearance.)

Teddy: Hey. (watching her for a minute) You’re more beautiful than I had imagined.

Jinny: (smiling) I have to admit, I had my doubts.

Teddy: I didn’t. (seeing her almost in tears) Are you okay? I mean...

Jinny: No. (making one last dab at her eyes) I’m fine. Thanks. Is it time?

Teddy: (looks at his watch) Um, yeah. I’ll stop and get gas on the way, and that should put us pretty much on time.

Jinny: (nods, quietly) Okay.

Will Jinny survive the inlaws? Stay tuned, next week, for an all new episode of No Holds Barred.

Okay, well, here's more; it's kinda short, sorry.......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jinny and Teddy made their way to the gas station and on to the restaurant in mutual silence. Teddy looked over once parked in the parking lot of the restaurant, and noticed how tense Jinny looked. He reached over and placed his hand over hers and gave it a tight squeeze. Which she returned with a slight smile.)

Teddy: It’s going to be okay. They love you.

Jinny: That’s because they don’t know me.
Teddy: See, that’s the good thing about my parents. They like to get to know just how much they can hate you, before they make their decision.

Jinny: (gives Teddy a harsh look)


Teddy: I’m kidding. Jinny, you’re doing the same thing to them, that you think they’re doing to you.

Jinny: (squints her eyes, shakes her head, curiously)

Teddy: You think that just because they have a little bit of money, they can’t like someone one like you.

Jinny: Someone like me? And what would that be?

Teddy: (sighs) Whatever it is you have in your head that they think about you. (smiles as Jinny looks away, guilty) See?

(Teddy looks at his watch to see how much time they have to spare. He gets out of his car, and makes it a point to open the door for her and extend his hand to help her out of the car. He shuts the car door and turns back to her, pulling her close to him. He makes no move toward the restaurant, but leans against the car with Jinny still in his arms.)

Teddy: (watching her curious face as she glances toward the restaurant) What?

Jinny: For some reason, I’m waiting for you to break out the wine right here.

Teddy: (smiles) Jinny, the last time I brought you to dinner with my parents, remember? You found the ring in my pocket afterwards?

Jinny: Yeah.

Teddy: I was going to propose to you, then. In front of my parents. (pause) They knew. They were disappointed that it didn’t work out.

Jinny: (looks down; avoiding his gaze)

Teddy: (hooks a finger under her chin, drawing her up to look at him) They love you, Jinny. They don’t know you well, but they know I’m happy. Happier that when I was with Jenny. And they’re happy. So what do you say? Give them a chance?

Jinny: (looking up, into his eyes now; nods) (quietly) Sure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, there you go. I'll try to write more tomorrow evening, if I haven't drowned, or been burnt to a crisp. I'm going down the river, whitewater rafting, and I can't swim, so, um, hold your breath for me.:wave:

Well, I am home after spending six hours in the river, in 90 degree weather, facing the raging, (lol, almost the truth) rapids. and I SURVIVED!


Here is a pic, of me and the the biggest rapid where we were at (if it works, of course). It is a Class III rapid, where as most of the other sections of river have about 5 Class V rapids. LOL, I'm a first timer. I tried to get the girl in the boat with me to steer around it, but she was bound and determined to go straight through the middle of it. Guess who won. Incase you're having trouble with that little equation, it wasn't me.

That's me in the back of the boat (the 27 year old chicken) and the head in the front is my friend's 16 year old daughter.

Well, hope the pick works, if it doesn't I'll get it fixed, (:D Jeanie) and try it again later.

I'm going to go watch Star Wars Episode 1 and hopefully will get to post more later on tonight.

For those of you interested in trying this great adventure for youself, I will give a shameless plug: Mountain River Tours, Hico, WV 1-800-822-1386; www.raftmrt.com . They are the greatest company to raft with. Especially JAY, our team leader, and Lucas our guide. And if you come to WV, I'm just about 6 miles from MRT.

Okay, hopefully see some of you tonight.

Well, I never made it back here to post last night. I was too lazy to think. LOL

But here's more.......................

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Teddy: (hooks a finger under her chin, drawing her up to look at him) They love you, Jinny. They don’t know you well, but they know I’m happy. Happier that when I was with Jenny. And they’re happy. So what do you say? Give them a chance?

Jinny: (looking up, into his eyes now; nods) (quietly) Sure.

Teddy: Thank you. (holds out his hand toward the restaurant) Shall we?

(Teddy and Jinny made their way inside the restaurant. Teddy spied his parents, but waited to be seated. Shortly they had been led to the table and Teddy’s parents stood to greet them. Teddy’s mother did not wait to be introduced to Jinny again, but embraced her son, then turned to Jinny, and embraced her, as well. Jinny was initially shocked, but once she was released, found his mother’s smiling face comforting.)

Mom: How are dear? It’s good to see you again.

Jinny: Good, thank you. And how are you, Mrs. Blumenthal?

Mom: Oh, Olivia, please. You’re going to be family soon enough, I’ve heard. (takes Jinny’s hand) I’m just sure that ring looks beautiful on you. (stops, mouth open, as she notices the engagement ring is not alone) Oh, um...

Jinny: (opens her mouth to speak, glances at Teddy, eyes wide, shrugging as if to say ‘help me out here’)

Teddy: Um, Mom (coming to Jinny’s recue), Dad. I’d like to introduce you to my wife.

Mom: Of course, Jinny. (realizing she’s giving them the wrong impression) Dear, you’ll have to forgive me. This is just a shock to me. I’m sorry to have reacted this way.

Jinny: That’s okay, really. I understand.

Mom: No, there’s no excuse for that. When?

Teddy: Just last week mom.

Dad: (pats Teddy on the back) Congratulations, my boy. (catches a waiter as he goes by) Excuse me, we’d like the best champagne you have, please. (and then indicates Jinny with a tip of the wine glass he already has) And a water, for the young lady, we have some celebrating to do.

Waiter: Certainly, sir.

Dad: (embraces Jinny) Jinny, dear. Welcome to the family.

Jinny: (reserved smile) Thank you.

(The waiter returned, after delivering his goods from earlier, with champagne and glasses. Also on his tray was a bottle of water. He poured each a glass of champagne, then took the remaining glass, and filled it half-way with water and presented it to Jinny.)

Jinny: (smiles, embarrassed) Thank you.

Dad: (once the waiter is gone; raises his glass) To our new daughter. May she feel as much like family as our son.

Jinny: Thank you.

Teddy: (reaching over to take her hand and give it a quick squeeze; their hands remained entwined.)

(They ordered their meal and ate, talking quietly. Jinny listened quietly to the conversation between Teddy and his father. His mother excused herself to the ladies’ room, and there was quiet at the table for a few minutes.)

Dad: So, Jinny. You’re still working at the police station? How’s that going?

Jinny: It’s going okay, thanks.

Dad: I just wanted you to know that last year (waving as if to wave off a bug) it’s all forgotten. You’re not to think another second about it.

Jinny: (blushing from embarrassment, looks down at her lap)

Dad: People make mistakes, Jinny. I didn’t get where I am without making a lot of them myself. It’s what you learn from them that makes life more smooth, or more difficult. I just want you to know, (pointing in the direction that his wife has gone earlier) Olivia; she won’t let this pass by unnoticed. There’s going to be a big ta-do. Fancy party and all.

Jinny: (shaking her head) I’m not a party person.

Dad: Of course you are. You just need to learn how to loosen up and have a little fun. But no matter what, you just hold you head high and be proud to be who you are. You are now our daughter, and we will accept you, no matter.

Jinny: (smiles, as she notices Olivia returning)

Mom: You know, I just had the most splendid idea. We really must host a reception party for you dears. (everyone laughs, Dad winks at Jinny) People just will not forgive us for not inviting them to the wedding, but to miss the opportunity for a social gathering, too? Honestly, we will become outcasts. But it will be a small occasion, I promise. Just our families, neighbors, and closest of friends.

Dad: Liv, really. Sit down, you’re overwhelming the poor child as it is. We’ll discuss this later, let’s finish our dinner now.

Mom: (sitting down) Fine, dear, but I must know this: When is the best time for you two?

Teddy: (looking at Jinny, answers more with a question) Anytime? (Jinny nods) Anytime, mom. I don’t think either of us have any plans in the near future.

Mom: Wonderful. I think in about a month. I’ll check with the caterer and everyone, but we’ll plan it for about a month away, on a Saturday afternoon.

( The meal was soon over, but not soon enough, Jinny thought to herself. They bade Teddy’s parents goodbye in the parking lot and prepared to leave themselves. Jinny got in the car and sighed, waiting for Teddy to join her. He reached over when he’d buckled himself and placed a hand on her neck, underneath her hair.)

Teddy: (smiling) You know, I should have warned you about the, um, (humor in his voice) social gathering that was to come.

Jinny: (rolled her eyes and looked away, but said nothing)

Teddy: That’s my mom. If there is any reason to have a party, you can look for her to find it. She’s never worked, never had to. She gets lonely sitting there in the house by herself all the time. So, she hosts parties.

Jinny: (not sure she really wanted an answer, but felt she had to ask) Exactly how small are talking?

Teddy: (smiling, not answering right away)

Jinny: Teddy, I...

Teddy: (still smiling) Didn’t you hear Mom? Only the families, neighbors, and the closest of friends.

Jinny: (growing worried) How many?

Teddy: Knowing my mother? Hundred and fifty to two hundred, plus your family and friends.

Jinny: (alarmed) How many?

Teddy: To my mother, the closest friends, are family, friends, neighbors, who’ve known me all my life, my dad’s colleagues, anyone he’s rubbed elbows with in the past, and anyone who has rubbed elbows with anyone my dad’s rubbed elbows with in the past. (smiling, waiting for that all to sink in) Then, of course, we’ll need to give her a list of you family and friends to add to that list.

Jinny: (unable to speak, trying to grasp the enormity of what she’d just heard)

Okay, well, I've worked on this all day, and am working hard to get it posted, because I just saw a huge bolt of lightening flash outside. So here's more............

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Teddy: (smiling) Let’s not think about it, okay? Leave it all to my mother and we’ll just show up on the day and look happy to be there. (pause, teasing) Which, I know you will be.

Jinny: (rolls her eyes and grins; opens the car door)

Teddy: (walks around the car and puts his arm around her as they walk toward the apartment) You’re beautiful, have I told you that?

Jinny: Only about a hundred times today.

Teddy: You are. I just want you to know that.

Jinny: Thank you. You’re kind of handsome there yourself.

Teddy: (squeezed her tightly) (silence until there were inside of the apartment) So, um, you like the dress?

Jinny: (walking down the hall) Of course, why?

(Jinny continues on to the bedroom and begins to undo her hair and wipe off her make-up. Her thoughts once again turned to her mother, and how she had watched her so many times. Jinny stopped and stared in the mirror at the young lady staring back at her. She’d had dreams of marrying once upon a time. She had wanted to marry a man like her father and have three children just like her parents, because all had seemed so perfect for Jinny when she was younger. Jinny’s thoughts soon took her to another time. Before her was the same young woman as before, beautiful, happy. Sitting on the bed behind her was a small child, which incidentally resembled the small child she had encountered earlier in the day. The small girl babbled on about how beautiful she was, and begged for the privilege to wear ‘just a little’ make-up. ‘Just this once, please?’ Jinny smiled to herself and looked again, the little girl was jumping on the bed, laughing. The sound made Jinny’s heart skip a beat. Could she create something so beautiful? Jinny gasped and jumped as Teddy’s arms when around her and his lips met her neck.)

Teddy: (standing before her in nothing but his boxer shorts) Hey, um, you okay? I didn’t mean to scare you.

Jinny: (wiped away the tear that had made its way down her cheek) Yeah, I’m fine. I’m just...(glancing back toward the bed to find it unoccupied) I was just thinking.

Teddy: (concerned) What about?

Jinny: Nothing. Just...(shakes her head; looks up at him and smiles) nothing.

Teddy: Sure?

Jinny: (reaching up and kissing him for added assurance) I’ve never been better. (smiles)

Teddy: (smiles) So, you never did answer me.

Jinny: What?

Teddy: Did you like the dress? (as he helps her out of it)

Jinny: (considering what to say)

Teddy: Is that a yes? I did a good job?

Jinny: (smiles; shrugs; reluctant to answer)

Teddy: I think that’s a yes.

Jinny: (bigger smile; looks away to avoid eye contact)

Teddy: (smiling) That is definitely a yes.

(As the dress hits the floor, Teddy bends over slightly and picks Jinny up, kissing her mouth as he does. He backs towards the bed, Jinny still in his arms, her own arms around his neck, her hands combing through his hair. Teddy hits the bed with his legs with enough force that he began falling back, onto the bed. When they landed, Jinny laughed as Teddy exhaled loudly with the force of her weight on top of him. It only stopped them for a minute, before they continued. Teddy soon rolled over, pinning Jinny beneath him. She slid her arms under his, and caressed his back with her hands. He stopped for a minute, and closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling. He opened his eyes again, to find Jinny smiling up at him.)

(He leaned down a little to kiss her; she met him with a kiss that was totally unexpected. He paused briefly, shocked by the urgency he felt, but she did not give him time to protest as she drew him closer to her, if that was possible. Jinny worked at it, until she had gotten Teddy back onto his back. He laughed at her as she sat up to look at him.)

Jinny: I thought I owed you.

Teddy: (nodding; shrugs) Technically. My mother always taught me it was better to give than to receive.

(Jinny smiled as she drew near Teddy once again. She was leaning more for his lips, but as he began to rise, to meet her, she swerved and placed a slow, tender kiss on his neck. She didn’t stop at just one kiss, but continued to place them from one side of his neck, to the other, where she lingered, until she felt him shiver. He took a deep breath, and when Jinny took time out, she noticed his eyes were closed, enjoying every second of it. She took advantage of his closed eyes, to move downward. She enveloped his nipple with her lips and ran her tongue across it. His eyes quickly opened, as he took a deep breath to try to gain control of the emotions that had so suddenly overcome him.)

(Jinny paid not attention to his sudden problems, but continued her journey from first one then the other nipple. Teddy finally placed his arms underneath hers and pulled her back up toward him. His strength took her by surprise and her eyes and mouth showed it, momentarily. Teddy found his way back, on top of her, as he finished undressing. Their love making had never been a dull part of life, and did nothing to disappoint them this time either. They lay side by side, afterwards, still kissing and exploring each other, with their hands. After a while, Jinny lay back on her back, becoming more reserved after a while.)

Teddy: (watching her briefly) You’ve been quiet all evening, what’s up?

Jinny: (making an effort at joking) If that was quiet, I hate to see me fired up.

Teddy: You know what I mean. Every time I turn around, you have this, glum look on your face.

Jinny: (turns to him)

Teddy: Yeah, that one. I don’t understand, did you not like the dress, because I was only jo...

Jinny: No, no. The dress was fine. It was great. Pretty.

Teddy: Then what? My parents?

Jinny: No. I’ve just been thinking a lot today. We’ve got this case right now, you know, and... (shrugs) I don’t know.

Teddy: What’s it about? Want to talk about it?

Jinny: Well, it’s not really the case. Just something happened today, it’s stupid really.

Teddy: I listen to stupid all day. (smiling) You’re my wife. I love you and you’re not among that list. Come on (sitting up to face her) Hit me with your best shot.

Jinny: (shakes her head) I don’t know. It’s not important.

Teddy: You are important. Apparently this is bothering you. It’s important.

Jinny: (blushing) We were waiting to talk to this lady at the hospital today, and this baby.... this kid... She like, attacked me. No matter what I did, she wanted me. I couldn’t get Magda to take her, she wouldn’t go to her. She wouldn’t go to her dad; she cried.

Teddy: And the problem with this is?

Jinny: The problem is, I don’t know. (heavy sigh) I just, I... I can’t get her out of my mind. It’s stupid, but... (stops, looks down)

Teddy: But? (tilting his head to see her face more clearly)

Jinny: I know it’s stupid, but, all evening, I’ve seen my mother, and me. And I’ve seen this little girl, just watching me. First when I was getting ready to go, earlier, and just a few minutes ago. It’s just eerie. I can’t get that kids face out of my mind.

Teddy: That’s not stupid, Jinny. It’s perfectly logical. You miss your mother. There’s nothing wrong with that. Nothing at all.

Jinny: But what about me? What about that little girl, watching me, like I used to watch Mom? I don’t understand. Is this some kind of a cruel joke or something?

Teddy: I don’t think it is. I think that your mind is just reliving good parts of your life. You know? Like when you were drinking, all you thought about was the bad things. Alcohol is like a demon. It has to have a way to keep you coming back for more. Now that you’ve defeated him, you’re remembering the good. Things that that demon had made you forget. Consider them blessing.

Jinny: (letting that sink in, smiles) No. They aren’t. Not right now. (pause, looking into Teddy’s eyes) But you? You are a blessing.

(Teddy looked deep into her eyes and smiled. He leaned over and kissed her on the lips one last time, before reaching to turn out the light. He crawled under the cover, completely still dressed in nothing, and curled up to her tightly. He whispered in her ear.)

Teddy: So is it safe to say, I won this one?

Jinny: Take notes, you’re a man. You never win.

Well, since Miranda is ignoring our pleas for more at the moment, ahem *gives Miranda an evil look*, I guess I have no other choice but to sit here and wirte more for mine, and then post myself. So, here's more................

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Teddy laughed quietly, and kissed her neck. Jinny lay listening to Teddy’s breathing, feeling it against the back of her neck. All of the sudden she felt uncomfortable, like she was smothering. She detangled herself from Teddy’s grip, as gently as she could and hushed him back to sleep, quietly when he awoke asking questions. When she was again alone, she wandered through the apartment, not quite sure what she was looking for. She ventured into the kitchen opening the refrigerator and the cabinet doors, becoming more and more careless as she did so.)

(Teddy was awakened by the slamming of the cabinet doors, and came to see what was going on. What he saw made him stop in his tracks. Before him, was his wife, but yet, not. She was frantically searching their cabinets for what? He thought he could guess. He knew she would find nothing, but was worried all the same. He wasn’t sure what had brought on this sudden desire, and had no clue what to do for her. As she rushed passed him he grabbed her, but wasn’t prepared for the brawl that ensued. It was all Teddy could do to elude the flailing arms that threatened him, and he nearly lost the battle. When all his strength seemed to give, so did hers and she finally collapsed in his arms, to the sound of his soothing voice.)

(It had been some time since Jinny had had to place a call to her sponsor this late at night, and Teddy had nearly forgotten his number. When Dusty answered, he could barely be heard over Jinny’s sobbing. Teddy spoke to him for many minutes before hanging up. He sat in the middle of their living room floor for what seemed like hours, rocking Jinny, petting her hair, and listening to her sobs turn into low whimpers, and then to silence. Finally, the knock on the door made both their heads rise. Jinny looked at Teddy for the first time since the incident occurred. He helped her up as the stood. Jinny walked over to the couch and hugged her knees as Teddy opened the door for Dusty. He seated Dusty on the couch by Jinny and went into the kitchen to pick up and make coffee.)

(The living room was silent for several minutes. Jinny watching her feet, Dusty staring off in the distance, giving Jinny time to collect herself.)

Dusty: (finally breaking the silence) I bet you thought you had it beat.

Jinny: (silence; still looking away)

Dusty: You never beat it. It never completely goes away. You learn to deal with it, but occasionally, it rears it’s head, and fights back. When you least expect it. When you’re the weakest.

(Jinny never gives a hint that she may be listening. Teddy returns with coffee for the three of them. Dusty accepts his with a ‘thank you.’ Teddy sets his and Jinny’s on the coffee table beside him. He joins Jinny on the couch, hugging her from behind; she doesn’t seem to notice. A tear falls down her cheek and she wipes it away. Staring at the back of the couch now, she speaks, lowly, her voice trembling.)

Jinny: (apologetic) I don’t know what happened.

Dusty: You may never. You don’t always have to know what sets it off. You just have to be prepared to fight it.

Jinny: I wasn’t.

Dusty: It’s rough sometimes. You don’t always feel it coming.

Jinny: I’ve been to the bars with Magda. Teddy’s parents have drank in front of me. It doesn’t bother me anymore. It hasn’t bothered me for months. I don’t understand.

Dusty: It isn’t always being around alcohol that sets it off. It can be, bad memories. New situations. Nervousness. Apprehension. It can be any of these things. You can never let your guard down.

Teddy: Do they have to be bad memories?

Dusty: (looking at Teddy curiously) I don’t suppose.

Teddy: (looks down at Jinny) You’ve been doing a lot of thinking about your mom today. Think that has anything to do with it?

Jinny: (shrugs) I don’t know. All I know is that I don’t like feeling this way.

Dusty: Nobody does. It’s a part of life for you. A part of life that you’ve learned to deal with. Granted, there will be times like tonight that you need help, still. I still call friends. And I’ve been sober for 10 years now. The important thing is that you don’t forget that you have friends that are willing to help you through these times. I’m still here to help, when you need me. You’re more than welcome to call me at (looks at his watch) two o’clock in the morning anytime you need me.

(They talked for another hour before Jinny felt comfortable being left with Teddy. She still hadn’t looked either man in the eye, but was relatively sure that she could go to bed and rest, probably not sleep, but rest, yes. Teddy shook hands with Dusty, thanking him again for taking time to spend with them. Once he was gone, Teddy collected coffee cups, both his and Jinny’s left untouched, and carried them into the kitchen. He walked back to Jinny who stood when he offered his hand. They embraced for a time before Teddy escorted her back to their room. Jinny lay awake the rest of the night, afraid that if she drifted off, she would again be revisited with the desire that still lingered in the back of her mind, taunting her.)

Well, there you go, I'm in an unusual mood at the moment, lol, so I thought I'd add a little spark to the fic. Well, let me know what you think, I'm beginning to think that this board is slowly becoming a ghost town. Please don't let that happen, I'll have nowhere else to spend my time, yuck. Well, I've posted, I've whined, I'll go, for now. :wave:

Gee, I'm going to have to start posting asking myself for more, lol. Thank you, ks, I'm glad I was able to provide you with the one thing that you have so wanted to see, lol. Those TV's have a tendency not to listen to a word spoken to them, not that I would know from experience or anything. LOL Here is the next installment, hope it is as satisfying as the last ........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(The alarm clocked sounded, seemingly far off to Jinny. Teddy nudged Jinny lightly and she stirred. She stretched for a few minutes, groggy from lack of sleep. Finally, she lay back, resting her head against her pillow watching Teddy as he dried off and dressed. She finally decided to rise, rubbing her eyes. She grabbed clothes out of her closet, not caring if they matched or not. She ran a brush through her hair, and considered herself appropriately dressed for work. She and Teddy parted with few words and Jinny made her way to Magda’s house. The ride to the station was quiet, but not because Magda’s side of the conversation lacked. She drilled Jinny for details about her previous night’s dinner with Teddy’s parents.)

Magda: (becoming perturbed with Jinny) You know, what is it with you this morning? You barely even said two words to Benjamin this morning.

Jinny: (pulling into their designated parking spot, resting her hands on the wheel; sigh) I’m sorry, Mag. I just, I had rough night, okay. I don’t want think about it right now.

Magda: Teddy’s parents?

Jinny: (getting out of the car and making her way toward the station, Magda following closely) No. They’re happy, I would even venture ecstatic. Disappointed that there will be no wedding, but Olivia, that’s what I’m supposed to call her, is wasting no time in setting up the reception. Two weeks from Saturday, so be sure that you give me you new address, so that I can pass it along to her. Don’t want any delays in getting your invitation. I on the other hand, (as she and Magda make their way into the locker room paying no attention as who may also be in the room) experienced the night from hell, as I spent it up scouring the cabinets for any remnants of alcohol that I may have left behind. Two o’clock in the morning and I’m sitting in the living room floor crying because...(pause, looks away, shakes her head) I thought I had it beat, Mag. (slamming her fist against her locker)

Magda: You should have called me. I told you, Jin. Anytime...

Jinny: (seemingly disappointed) I had Teddy. He was there.

Kate: (comes from the restroom, stands back, listening quietly; only Magda notices her)

Magda: You don’t sound very happy about that.

Jinny: What if he changes his mind, Mag? What if he decides, it isn’t worth it? I’m not worth it?

Magda: (putting an arm around Jinny’s shoulder) He isn’t going to change his mind, Jinny. He loves you. He knows that your being an alcoholic is part of who you are, and he accepted that.

Jinny: If he hadn’t been there last night Magda, I would have been in a bar somewhere last night.

Magda: But you weren’t.

Jinny: I didn’t marry him to baby sit me Magda.

Magda: I know that. He knows that, too. (brightening up, teasing) So you thank him for being there (bumps hips with Jinny), and (more serious) and then you forget about it.

Jinny: (smiles, though willing herself not to) Yeah, I guess. Hey, could you give me a few minutes?

Magda: (nods) Sure. Remember, we have go pay a visit to Jeff’s parents, this morning.

Jinny: I won’t be long.

Magda: (looks back at Kate, who nods and indicates the door with her head) Okay.

(The captain still watches Jinny, unnoticed. Jinny places her things in her locker and removes her pistol from it’s holster as she dons the holster. She sits down on the bench and picks up the pistol. She turns the weapon over in her hand several times, staring at it’s sleek, shiny surface. One shot from such a weapon, could render a person a very serious, or a very lethal injury. Jinny took a deep breath in and let it out slowly. Captain McCafferty chose this time to make her presence know. She took two steps forward, her high-heeled shoes clacking on the cement surface of the locker room. Jinny, jumped, looking up at the intruder. Jinny checked to be sure the safety was still on, and holstered her weapon.)

Kate: (holding her hands up to Jinny, as she passed by to wash her hands) Don’t get up. (after returning, she nonchalantly tosses her paper towel into the receptacle, a distance away; glancing at Jinny to gauge her reaction, she turns and sits by her) So you had a rough night last night.

Jinny: (angry for being disturbed) How long have you been here?

Kate: Long enough.

Jinny: This isn’t what you think.

Kate: What am I thinking? Thinking that you’re sitting here, brandishing a weapon of destruction, with God only knows what running through your head? I’m sure it wasn’t. Because if it were, I’d have to remove you from the force, take your weapon, your badge. No. I’m sure it wasn’t what that. But I’m sure you’re going to tell me what I was thinking.

Jinny: I was just thinking that I hadn’t serviced it for a while.

Kate: Yeah, actually, I got that same message from ballistics two weeks ago, with everything that’s happened, I hadn’t had time to relay that message to you. (pause) Tell me about last night.

Jinny: What did you hear?

Kate: Most of it.

Jinny: Then what else is there to say?

Kate: (shrugs) Maybe, why you’re sitting here on my time, then.

Jinny: (getting up) Sorry.

Kate: Jinny, (placing a hand on her arm to stop her) Alcoholism isn’t something that you beat. It’s something that you overcome everyday of your life. Each day that you stay sober is an accomplishment. When you have setbacks, even that overwhelming desire, that you described, it’s difficult. I understand that. And you need to understand that you are going to have those setbacks, now and even twenty years down the road from now. You’d never know this, but my mother was an alcoholic. And until the day she died, there were days that she’d beg me for a drink, but I still loved her. And Mr. Blumenthal will still love you. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have married you.

Jinny: (says nothing)

Kate: Just know that there are many of us that support you. And if you find that you are alone, and can’t get a hold of Mr. Evans, or Mr. Blumenthal, or Magda, you can call me.

Jinny: (looks at Kate suspiciously)

Kate: I’m not out to get you, Jinny. Not all the time anyways. I believe in you. I believe that you have been sober for over a year and that you can continue to be, if that is what you want. It’s what I want, and I’m willing to help you in anyway that I can. (pause, Jinny nods; silence, Kate rises) What do you two have on your plate for today?

Jinny: We’re trying to track down the father of the baby, we’re going to have a talk with his parents this morning.

Kate: Did you get any sleep last night?

Jinny: (shakes her head)

Kate: (nods) Let Magda drive. (turns and walks away, Jinny follows shortly after)

HEHE I was in a hurry to get there after so many hours in a car that is quite the long trip. 1250 miles the short way. 1500 miles the long way. And of course i don't drive on the wrong side of the street even considering I hadn't a clue where I was going. lol.... You were the navigator remember..... But I know the right side of the road from the wrong side. Although it is pretty cool you can do U's out there and not get in trouble for it, unlike here. Poor Phil he isn't ever going to live that down now is he. lol....

Yes, it looks as if you're going to have to write a lot to celebrate many momentous occasions in this post.

1) The facts I was :dance: in my chair during the entire Cap/Jin scene because those are awesome

2) The fact that even though the TV doesn't listen to me and give me the scenes I want-you did

3) The fact Jeanie hasn't killed Miranda and from what I've just read that might be a minor miracle (then again I have no room to talk)

4) The fact there are about 10 posts, most being off topic though...

5) The fact that you have 100 replies to this awesome fic of yours


...Now how can you say no to all of that?

I'll be expecting more soon...and I think I'll refuse to sleep until I get more. That worked with Miranda last night, so it's worht another go...

Anyway, I shall just return early in the morning to read more of this wonderful fic. Of course if there isn't more then you'll be hearing from me...in a friendly follower way of course:D

This fic is awesome. Please continue soon!

You know, it generally isn't wise to fight with inanimate objects, they tend to have little feeling as to how much damage they do. I've never heard one apologize, but I have heard them squeak with delight, just to rub it in, ocassionally.

Hey, Jeanie, and Miranda, I'll bet, since she is slightly "Jinny in Season1" She'll won't even remember if she read this before she went to bed, or not, so I'm safe, if I post it too late for her to read it tonight. LOL

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Jinny watched as Kate patted her on the leg and retreated back to her office. Jinny remained for only a few minutes before she, too, made her appearance in the Felony Division. She had decided to take the advice of her friend, and her captain. She had overcome it this time, and today she was sober, and today is that matters. When she did make her appearance, it was with a smile on her face and a quick quip to any who dared comment on her tardiness. Magda smiled at her and they gathered their things and headed off to crack a case.)

(Kate watched Jinny’s entrance and her and Magda’s departure with interest. Jinny was so much like herself when she had been younger. Though Kate McCafferty wasn’t an alcoholic, she was a steadfast young woman, who rarely backed down from a confrontation. She had been suspended herself a time or two for disagreeing with her supervisors over matters. Jinny and Kate had butted heads many times in the past, and Kate did not look forward to the many instances in the future that they were sure to disagree again. Kate tried to give Jinny some lee-way when they had their disagreements, but she tended to make things difficult for Kate, like when she showed up at the scene of a crime, intoxicated. The ringing phone brought Kate back to the present. She answered it, but had to ask a second time to whom she was speaking. She glanced out the window of her office, in time to see Jinny toss Magda her car keys.)

Magda: (not paying attention, almost dropped what Jinny had tossed at her) What’s this? (looking) Your keys? You’re going to let me drive, your car?

Jinny: (half smile) Yeah, just don’t scratch the paint, alright?

Magda: So what brought this on?

Jinny: Well, you know, I’m a nice person and...

Magda: And the captain made you.

Jinny: Yeah, well, you had to ruin it for all of us didn’t you?(opens the passenger side door, and gets in)

(Jinny and Magda pulled up outside an humble little residence on the east side of town. A small white house in comparison with the houses around it. It seemed out of place, in its surroundings, yet it seemed to belong, just the same. The yards surrounding the small house were layered in richly flourishing flowerbeds, and hanging plants. Jinny and Magda stared at the yard as they waited for the door to be opened. They turned back to the door and Jinny started to knock again, but the voice behind them made them turn around.)

Lady: No need a’knockin’ on the door. I ain’t in there.

Magda: Yes, ma’am. I’m Inspector Ramirez, and this is my partner, Inspector (pause, looks at Jinny) Exstead. Are you Jeff’s mother?

Lady: Pretty much so. I’m Irene Sigmond. Jeff’s parents died when he was jess a wee child. I took him and raised him long as he’d let me. Ain’t seen him for goin’ on four, maybe five years now. He went ‘bout his own ways, said I was a’hinderin’ his free spirit.

Magda: (as she and Jinny step off the porch) Miss Sigmond, these flower’s are beautiful, do you raise them all on your own?

Irene: That’s a fact Missy. Cain’t ‘ford to live ‘round here on what Uncle Sam gives ya. Cain’t work no more. Arthritis done got the best of me. Cain’t hardly hold on to the prunin’ sheers, no more.

Magda: Wow. (looking around)

Jinny: And you haven’t heard from Jeff for how long, Ms. Sigmond?

Irene: I told ‘ya. Pert near three years now.

Jinny: Do you drive, Ms. Sigmond? (indicating to Magda to look down at the fresh tire tracks running through the yard and into a small garage in back of the house)

Irene: No, ma’am. Haven’t driven in, oh, probably ten years.

Magda: How do you deliver your flowers?

Irene: They come an get’em.

Magda: And how do you get new supplies?

Irene: Through the mail, mostly. If I need to go out, I have a church friend that comes to pick me up and take me. Sweet little ole, thing. Not young, really, but compared to me, you girls is jess babies.

Magda: (smiling) Do you live alone?

Irene: Most of the time, yeah. I got me a cat, goes whorin’ around most of the time, comes back when she’s hungry, and that’s about it.

Jinny: (nods) Thank you, Miss Sigmond. We’ll keep in touch, and (hands her a card), if you would happen to think of anything else, or if Jeff comes around, give us a call, we’d like to ask him some questions.

Irene: (looks at the card) So you girls is police officers, are ye?

Magda: Inspectors, yes ma’am.

Irene: What’s Jeff gone and done now? Why I ought to ring his neck, when I catch a’hold of him again.

Magda: (looking at Jinny, her aggravation beginning to show) We just want to ask him some questions.

Irene: Right, right. Well, if I see him again, I’ll be sure to tell him to call you pretty young’uns. Bye-bye, now. Don’t crush the marigolds when you open the gate, dear.

(Jinny got back in the car, not sure whether to laugh or cry. Magda, on the other hand, was still admiring the beautiful array of colorful flowers, trying to think which shades would go best with her wedding. She caught the look that Jinny was giving her, and snapped back to reality.)

Magda: They’re beautiful, Jinny. And you’re having a wedding reception in a few weeks, you should be thinking about these sorts of things.

Jinny: (shaking her head) I’m taking Teddy’s advice on this one. I’m not worrying about any of it. I’m going to show up on the day, and pretend like I’m happy to be there.

Magda: (shaking her head, unable to keep from laughing)

Jinny: She’s lying.

Magda: About what?

Jinny: I don’t know, but she’s lying. Her story doesn’t jive. First she hasn’t seen him in five years, then three, then she’s talking like he’ll be home anytime. And the tire tracks? Fresh. That grass hasn’t been down long. She’s had more company than she’s letting on. I’ll bet money on it. I want to see if we can get a warrant to search the house.

Magda: If we search the house now, Jeff may scare. I think we should host a stake out party, first.

Jinny: (looking at Magda) Maybe. (looking back toward the house, seeing Ms. Sigmond outside, hoeing her flowers) Arthritis. Please. She’s as healthy as you and I are.

Yes, those inanimate objects are quite stubborn. They've proven that to me now. Especially this door. It gave a hard squeak of delight as yelled out in pain. Thankfully medicine has its benefits and all that is left of the door today is a lovely impression on my leg.


Now that I am 'Jinny in season 2' I am sober enough to see you posted this after I went to bed. Therefore I will be expecting more from you tonight! Can't wait;)

Magda: (looks back once more as they drive off, and nods) So, you never did tell me how your dinner went last night.

Jinny: You got the majority of it. We had dinner.

Magda: Jinny.

Jinny: That’s it. That’s all. They were happy; I’m happy; they’re planning a reception; you’re invited.

Magda: That’s it?

Jinny: How long does it take to eat? What? You were expecting us to have planned names for any and all future grandchildren while we were there? Come on, Mag, it was the third time we’ve met.

Magda: (rolls her eyes, but laughs as she makes a right hand turn)

(The finally returned to the station, none too soon for Jinny. She quickly grabbed the keys as Magda held them up for her. They both caught sight of the news media equipment being carried into the station, at the same time. They exchanged curious glances, then headed inside to find out what it was all about. They entered the Felony Division to be informed by Raina that Captain McCafferty wanted them to find her as soon as they returned. They went in search of her, first looking in her office, but couldn’t fit in there for all the press. They finally found her huddled in a corner with the District Chief, Haysbert, who looked unhappy just at the sight of Jinny.)

DC: Inspectors. Welcome home. (over their heads at someone off in the distance) Can we get this press conference on the road please. (back to Jinny and Magda) What did you find out this morning.

Magda: She really didn’t have any information on Jeff’s whereabouts. Said she hadn’t seen him in several years.

Jinny: Yeah, but five years turned into three as we talked to her, and then even that seemed to dwindle, but she never came out and said anything different. I think she’s withholding information pertinent to this case, and I think that we need put her home under surveillance until Jeff turns up there.

Magda: (eyeing Jinny curiously, when Haysbert nods and turns away, teasingly) Welcome aboard.

Jinny: (smiles at Magda and shakes her head)

DC: (as things are being set up) Inspector Exstead, I understand that congratulations are in order. So how do you want us to refer to you in this press conference?

Jinny: (looking around; sarcasm) What press conference? (turns back see Haysbert’s frowning face) I’m not going on television. That’s what the two of you are for (pointing to Haysbert and the captain)

DC: You don’t have to speak, but I want your faces out there to let people know that there are real people working on this case, and to let them know that if they have any information, a real person will assist them. Many people don’t report information, because they think that it’ll just be put on the back burner.

Jinny: So, all I have to do is stand there.

DC: (not amused)

Jinny: Right. (takes Magda’s arms and they walk off, but are not able to get far, due to the number of people in the office.

Man: Are you the inspectors that are supposed to be in the picture? (gives them a once over) Well, that’ll jut have to do, I can work a miracle in ten minutes. (walks off)

Jinny: (turns and watches him walk away) Can you believe that guy...

Lady: There you are, finally. Okay, here’s how things are going to work. I want one of you on each side of the district chief and the captain. I’m going to say action. You introduce yourselves and stand back out of the way. DC Haysbert will do the rest. Just furnish me with your cell phone numbers so that we can get them up on the screen.

Jinny: (as Magda is writing down their numbers) Wait a minute. Haysbert said we wouldn’t have to say anything.

Lady: Honey, that was, SO ten minutes ago. Get with the program. (as she’s walking off) God, they’ll let anyone wear a badge these days.

Jinny: (shaking her head; looks at Magda, who is laughing) Unbelievable. And I thought the public was hard to deal with.

(Things were soon underway, and Jinny was given a spot to stand in and instructed to read the lines on the board in front of her, when given her cue. Though seriously displeased, she kept her opinion to herself as long as Haysbert remained present. She sat on the corner of the desk behind her, one leg propped up on it, waiting for it to begin and be over with. They were finally give the word to take their places.)

Lady: We’ll be live in about 20 seconds, but don’t let the fact that millions of Americans will be watching you, make you nervous. We’re going live in 3...2...1... (points to Magda)

Magda: Hi, I’m Inspector Magda Ramirez.

Jinny: And I’m Inspector Jinny Exstead. And we’re with the San Francisco Police Department’s Felony Crime Division.

DC: I’m Charles Haysbert, and with me is Captain Kate McCafferty. Earlier this week, an infant was abducted from the San Francisco Memorial Hospital. We are asking for your help in solving this case. If you have any information regarding this case, or the possible known whereabouts of this child, or its abductors, we are asking that you please contact us here at the San Francisco Police Department. Some one will be happy to take your call, any time of the day or night. We will posting a number to the Division, where you can speak with someone, and also, we will give you direct numbers to both Inspector Ramirez, and Inspector Exstead, if you are watching this plea after office hours are over.

Kate: You can remain anonymous if you desire, but there is a mother out there who misses her child very much. If you have any information that you feel may be pertinent to this case, please call, you could mean the difference.

Lady: Cut. Okay get those numbers up. Great. (to Jinny as she is walking off) You think you could have livened it up any more?

Jinny: (reaching for her cell phone) And what kind of car did you say you drove again?

Magda: (pulling Jinny away by the arm) Easy there tiger.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Jinny shook her head as Magda pulled her in the opposite direction. They ordered pizza and ate at the station with everyone else, patiently waiting for the first call to come in regarding their case. The news crew packed up and departed with the promise that the plea would air every hour on the hour for a week. Jinny and Magda waited for clearance to post officers outside the home of one Miss Irene Sigmond and caught up on paperwork until later in the afternoon. Jinny’s cell phone rang at a little after five that afternoon, as they were preparing to go home and prepare for their first night outside Miss Sigmond’s home. Jinny answered her phone with the same greeting she’d answered it with since the day she became an inspector.)

Jinny: Exstead. (pause; looking around at all the curious eyes eagerly waiting for news) What? (angry) Who is this? (disconnects the line, throws phone down on desk) Creep! (looks at all watching her) What? Any of you want to have a good time Saturday night? Feel free.

Kate: (shakes her head in disbelief and turns back to her office)

Magda: (laughs as the phone on her desk rings) Hey, who could this be? (answers phone, cautiously) Hello? (pause) Benjamin, hi. No, I’m sorry, Papi, I can’t go tonight; I have to work. (pause) I’m sorry to Ben, but I can’t. Have Dad take you to Mickey-D’s on the way Gramma’s house, okay. (pause) I know, Benjamin, but Mommy’s work is important, too. (pause) I’m sorry Ben.... (stops as she is cut off) Can you believe that? He is so...(pause) so much like his father.

Jinny: (on their way out the door) He understands, Mag. He’s just upset that you can’t always be there. He’ll have forgiven you by the time you get home tomorrow.

Magda: You think?

Jinny: Of course. (stops, holding her stomach) You know, I’m going to the bathroom before we go.

Magda: You okay? (following Jinny into the locker room)

Jinny: Yeah, um, I just feel... (rushes into the stall, slamming the door)

Magda: (grimaces as she listens to Jinny loose her lunch)

Jinny: (returning a few minutes later to wash her face and hands)

Magda: Are you okay?

Jinny: Yes. (not sure that was true) I’m fine. What all was on that pizza again?

Magda: The same as always.

Jinny: Well something wasn’t right with it.

Magda: No one else is sick.

Jinny: Give them time.

(Jinny made Magda stop again on their way to her apartment, and then once again on their way to Magda’s house. Magda was relieve that Ben was already on his way to the sitter’s when they arrived. She wasn’t looking forward to arguing with him again at the moment. When Jinny made her way to Magda’s bathroom for the second time, she pulled out her cellular phone and turned it on.)

Magda: You know, Jinny, you’re really sick. I’m going to call the Captain and see if she can get someone else to watch the house tonight.

Jinny: No, you’re not. (on her way out of the bathroom) I’m fine. I feel better already.

Magda: (watching Jinny momentarily, turns the phone off) Okay, fine. One more time, though, and you’re going home.

Jinny: (on their way back out the door) Fine.

(As soon as Magda started the car and pulled out onto the road, Jinny made her stop, again. Magda pulled out her phone, but Jinny took it from her. Magda continued to drive to their destination and set up for their first night. Once they had stopped, Jinny’s stomach seemed to settle down.)

(Jinny began to nod off after only a few hours, due to her lack of sleep the previous night. Magda let her doze while she watched the house intently. A few vehicles stopped and picked up flowers, but after nine, the house seemed rather dead. Magda delivered Jinny home at seven a.m. and headed home herself for a good sleep. Jinny met Teddy as he was preparing to leave for work. He presented her with a breakfast fit for a king.)

Teddy: Hey. (watching her throw her bag down by the door) You look rough.

Jinny: (arms around him, leaning against him for support) It’s called lack of sleep.

Teddy: (smiling) I was thinking more along the lines of lack of...

Jinny: Oh, let’s not go there this time of the morning.

Teddy: I made you breakfast.

Jinny: (followed him into the kitchen, as soon as she smelled the food, her stomach started to turn, but was devoid of any contents to empty out) You shouldn’t have.

Teddy: Maybe, but I figured you might be hungry after staying up all night.

Jinny: (trying to keep a straight face) Hungry is actually the last thing I am. I’m sorry.

Teddy: That’s okay. I’ll put everything away, and I’ll clean up this evening.

Jinny: No. (stopping him) I’ll clean up before I go to bed. Just wake me up when you come home this evening.

Teddy: You’re sure you feel like it?

Jinny: No, but you went to all this trouble to cook for me, I think I can clean it up. (looking into the kitchen one last time, making a face)

Teddy: You don’t look well.

Jinny: (waves him off) Something I ate yesterday. I’m fine now, just tired. Go to work.

Teddy: Okay.

Jinny: (follows him to the door) I love you.

Teddy: (kisses her on the cheek as she turns her head) I...love...you, too.

Jinny: (aware of his stare) I’ll be fine by this evening. I promise.

(Jinny finally convinced Teddy that she was alright and they parted ways. Jinny turned back to the kitchen, stomach rolling the entire time, and cleaned up the mess that Teddy had made that morning. Jinny finally showered and felt some better as she tucked herself in bed. She slept soundly for a short time.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Jinny awoke to the sound of the garbage truck shortly after ten, and had trouble falling back to sleep. She tossed and turned until she finally got up and shut the blinds and the curtains. How people managed to sleep in the middle of the day was beyond her. She lay back down and drifted into a fitful sleep.)

(She found herself walking through the park, apple blossoms drifting lazily around her, and falling to the ground. Her eyes wandered to a small child, of about two years of age, playing in the fountain. The curls on her head tumbled down into her face as she brushed them back with a wet hand. She was intent on retrieving something in the fountain, and made her way to the ledge. As she was about to fall head first into the fountain, Jinny ran up and caught her. She turned the small girl around to face her and about to give her the scolding of her life, when Jinny noticed something peculiar about the child. The resemblance to her own baby pictures was astounding. The child began to cry and a young woman rushed up to take the child. Jinny looked up into the woman’s face and stopped. It was...)

(Jinny was startled by a loud sound, and the crying of a baby. She opened her eyes with a start to find herself back in her apartment, but the crying did not stop. Jinny sat, disoriented for several minutes, before she drew her weapon and headed for the living room. Jinny found car seat sitting in the living room floor, her door standing slightly open. The car seat was rocking back and forth with the crying of the infant inside. Jinny opened the door and looked down the hallway in both directions, but found nobody. Jinny ran back inside her apartment and placed a call to the manager downstairs, instructing him to lock down the building. He was not happy with the demand, but knowing Jinny to be a cop, agreed, reluctantly.)

(Jinny then went and sat down in front of the car seat. The infant was beginning to cry harder. She removed the blankets on top of the child and found a bottle and a note. Jinny paused, unsure of which to grab first. She then decided that the child wouldn’t stop crying until she ate, so she struggled with the car seat, cursing and apologizing, until the infant was in her arms. Jinny took one breath in and grimaced, feeling her stomach begin to disagree as well.)

Jinny: (to the crying child) Oh, God. I see now why they got rid of you. You are bordering on rotten. (the baby never slowed in her protest) Okay, okay. Um, (looking around, grabbing the diaper bag) A diaper, um, (as if hit by a sudden brilliant thought) Wipes! Yes, we will definitely need those.

(Jinny laid the baby down on the floor and picked up the phone. She started to dial a number, but decided it would be useless to try to talk to anyone over the screaming child and hung it up, throwing it down beside her. She picked up the diaper and fought with it, momentarily, trying to figure out just which way was the right way. She finally laid it down and took a deep breath, fighting the urge to vomit as she loosened the tabs holding the diaper on and pulled it back to reveal the culprit of the stench. Jinny finally got the baby cleaned up and a fresh diaper on, and fought with herself over what to do with the messy one that she held in her hands. Finally disposed of, Jinny picked the still crying baby up and carried her and the bottle over to her couch. Jinny placed the child’s head in the crook of her arm, and placed the bottle in her mouth. Almost instantaneously, the crying stopped and was replaced by soft suckling of the baby.)

(She once again picked the phone up and dialed a number, cursing each ring unanswered. She finally decided that Magda must have turned the ringer off to her phone and dialed another number as she watched the baby eat hungrily. There finally came a voice on the other end of the line.)

Jinny: Raina? Is the Captain available? (pause) Well, interrupt the meeting, this is important. (pause) I don’t care if she asked not to be interrupted, I’m having major problems here, and I need her. (pause) Yeah, I’ll hold. (pause) Captain? (pause) Thank God. Look, (pause) trust me, this is important. I’m sitting here trying to calm a very angry baby. (pause) I don’t know where the hell it came from, but it’s here. I’m suspecting that it is the baby taken from the hospital. There was a note with it (pause) I don’t know, it still over there...

(Jinny turns her head to indicated the direction of the note, and loosened her grip on the phone allowing it to slide down her chest and smack the baby on the head before it tumbled to the couch, causing the baby to cry more as the bottle went the other direction. Jinny was trying to catch everything at once and ended up losing everything except the now screaming baby.)

Jinny: Damn!!! (looking at the baby) Sorry, (not able to hear the captain anymore, as she put the phone back to her ear) Look, I couldn’t get a hold of Magda. The building is on lockdown until you get here, so could you please just send some officers, or the Calvary, or Dr. Spock, or hell anybody that knows more about babies than me. (as an afterthought) And make it fast.

(Jinny doesn’t wait for a response that she couldn’t hear anyways, and throws the phone to the other end of the couch as tried to pacify the infant with her bottle. After several minutes, the child finally calmed down and accepted her bottle. When all was quiet once again, Jinny laid her head back against the couch and signed. The quiet was not to last long, as Jinny heard the bottle run empty. She looked down at found the child staring up at her, contentedly, but nodding off fast. Jinny knew enough that she needed to burp the small child, but did not go about the task lightly. She dreaded the though of being burped on, and went in search of an old towel to cover herself with. She finally sat down to burp the small baby, and began patting her on the back when there was a knock on her door.)

(As Jinny got up to answer the door, the small child let out a belch made for someone twice her size and formula spewed all over the towel on Jinny’s shoulder. The first smell of the foul liquid sent Jinny’s stomach into wrenching fits, and as soon as Captain McCafferty made her way in the door, Jinny pushed the baby into her arms, and was off on a race to the bathroom, leaving Kate standing, looking around curiously.)

Anytime, kinda, lol. I'm glad you're liking it, just realized I screwed up, but I can easily fix it, lol. Think anyone else can find my mistake? If you could, I'd deny it, lol, cuz it'll work into the story pretty well, lol. But here's more, lol.......................

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Kate directed the officer following her up, to stay put as she trailed off in the direction that Jinny had gone. It was not difficult to find her because Kate could hear her in her misery. She leaned against the door facing, sleep baby in her arms, and waited for Jinny’s agony to stop. Jinny finally sat back, leaning against the bathtub, and rested her head in her arms. Kate found a wash cloth, wet it and handed it to Jinny, who accepted it graciously. She wiped her face and the back of her neck, and then rose, staring at the infant only briefly before she led Kate back the way they’d come.)

Kate: Dr. Spock was on vacation. I’m the best I could get on short notice. (Jinny did not look amused) A lot of people who aren’t used to being around babies, find that part of parenting hard to deal with, especially those with a weak stomach.

Jinny: (defensive) I don’t have a week stomach.

Kate: (nodding) Of course not.

Jinny: (giving her a harsh look)

Kate: So what have you got? Other than a baby? Obviously.

Jinny: (retrieved the note) I found this with it, I haven’t had time to open it.

Kate: (takes the note, infant still in hand and opens it) (reading) Dear Inspector Exstead. I chose to return this baby to you because you just looked so friendly, and understanding on the commercial I saw yesterday. I’m certain that this is the baby in question. I received her the evening after she came up missing. My husband and I are good, upstanding citizens, who have been on a waiting list at an adoption center for seven years. When a representative of the agency called us with the news that our wait was almost over, we cried. Most people are the waiting list for an infant a minimum of ten years. We felt that the Lord had finally seen fit to bless us with a child. When the woman approached us with the fact that it would cost us an additional ten thousand dollars, we assumed it was for hospital fees and the like because we were asked if we could provide those fees if necessary. I feel certain that we were lied to and taken advantage of because of our financial status. We were suspicious when she was turned over to us with no papers to sign, but our fears were allayed by the woman who brought her to us, when she told us they would come in the mail. I’m sorry to return her to you in such a manner, but my husband feared what would happen to us, and I am hopeful that you will see the return of this infant as a blessing from God, as we will cherish the time we had with her. We named her Joy Anne, for the joy she brought to our hearts. It saddens me to know that I have stolen someone else’s joy to experience a touch of heaven myself. Please give her my regards, and my best wishes, for I am truly sorry.

Jinny: (speechless)

Kate: (silent for moment) Well, (looking down at the sleeping infant) I think we need to go speak with the manager and the door man. See they remember anyone bringing in a baby and leaving without one.

Jinny: (stands to accompany Kate but is handed the small baby, instead) What am I supposed to do with this?

Kate: Well, my advice would be to lay HER down for a nap, before YOU wake her up.

(Jinny took the baby back to her room and laid her down on the bed. When she returned with her badge, Kate and the officer had already taken their leave. Jinny sighed heavily and opened the door to go too, but then thought better of leaving the child unattended. She cursed to herself as she went back inside the apartment and slammed the door, nearly tripping over the car seat, which was still in the middle of the floor.)

(The afternoon greeted Jinny with the demands of the crying child, yet again. She made it through the diaper change more easily this time, but when she retrieved the bottle, it was empty. She laid the baby down on the couch and returned with the diaper bag. Inside she found a can of formula. Reading the instructions, Jinny prided herself on successfully making a bottle. Jinny was beginning to feel the effects of lack of sleep, and began nodding off as the baby in her arms ate heartily. The baby let Jinny know when she’d had enough, and Jinny burped her with much the same results as earlier. When Jinny returned from the bathroom, the baby was sleeping peacefully on the couch where Jinny had laid her.)

(Jinny sat herself down and was drifting off to sleep when she found herself face to face with the small girl that she had seen earlier in the water fountain. The little girl was talking but Jinny couldn’t hear what she was saying, though she was within arms reach of her. She followed the child as she walked away down a long hallway. They girl stopped in front of a door and pointed inside. It was then that Jinny noticed the child held something in her hands. Jinny stopped outside the door and looked inside. Standing there, at the bathroom sink was a woman who eerily resembled her mother, but much younger than Jinny remembered her. Maybe at the age that Jinny was now, which would have been when Jinny was about three years old. Jinny stopped and stared at the woman as she scolded the small girl for what she had in her possession.)

(As the little girl began to cry, the phone rang. The woman seemed to pay no mind to the ringing phone, but continued to lecture the already crying girl. The phone rang again and Jinny realized, not soon enough, that it was her own. She tried to answer it before it woke the small baby, but she was not successful. She answered the phone, trying to talk over the crying infant.)

Jinny: Exstead. (pause) Hey, Mag, where have you been? I tried to call you earlier. (pause) What? (pause) No, I didn’t think of trying your cell. I’ve been a little preoccupied. (pause) A baby? Crying? No, I don’t hear anything, it must be on your end. (pause) Look, it’s a long story. Now could you please get over here?! (pause) Thank you.

(Jinny picks up the crying baby, for what seemed like the thousandth time, and held her close, shushing her. Jinny was still perplexed over the dreams she’d been having, but found she had no time to dwell on them at the moment, for at that moment, there was a knock on her door. She traipsed to the door, as cautiously as she could with a crying infant, and looked through the peephole. Captain McCafferty was standing there, waiting patiently. Jinny opened the door, and as soon as Kate entered, Jinny shoved the still crying baby into her arms.)

Kate: Am I experiencing de javu?

Jinny: How could you leave me up here with a baby?

Kate: What? Has she been crying the whole time? (digging in the diaper bag until she produces a pacifier, which stops the baby’s crying immediately)

Jinny: (give Kate a look of disbelief) No. She ate, she (pauses) went to bathroom, AGAIN, and she slept. The phone just woke her up, but...

Kate: Then you’ve done fine.

Jinny: That’s easy for you to say.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jinny: Exstead. (pause) Hey, Mag, where have you been? I tried to call you earlier. (pause) What? (pause) No, I didn’t think of trying your cell. I’ve been a little preoccupied. (pause) A baby? Crying? No, I don’t hear anything, it must be on your end. (pause) Look, it’s a long story. Now could you please get over here?! (pause) Thank you.




Hmmm, a mistake? I shall sacrifice my time and read this wonderful fic again to see if I can find it :lookaroun

WOW, thanks, but I'm not sure I deserved all that. But here's more anyways, lol..........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Jinny watched Kate work her magic on the infant, and have her asleep in no time. She stood with baby and walked back toward the bedroom she’d passed earlier, when she had followed Jinny to the back of the apartment, Jinny following closely behind. As Kate turned back around, the aroma from the bathroom, drifted in to meet Kate.)

Kate: Are you okay?

Jinny: (slightly embarrassed) Yeah, um, (shakes her head) I don’t think the pizza agreed with me yesterday.

Kate: (looks suspicious, nods) Yesterday, huh? (pause) Didn’t I eat the same pizza?

Jinny: (defensive) Yeah, AND?

Kate: (shaking her head; turns back to the living room) Nothing.

Jinny: You know if you’ve got something to say...

Kate: Jinny, morning sickness is a natural part of pregnancy,

Jinny: Morning sickness? Oh no, I am not pregnant (knock on the door) That’s Magda.

(Jinny makes her way around Kate to answer the door, all the time, those words kept flowing over in her mind, morning sickness. Ha! The nerve of some people. Pregnant! Jinny was certain that she should be the first to know if she were pregnant. And she didn’t feel pregnant, she felt sick. And when she was sick, it generally passed in a days time. She answered the door, to find Magda chatting with the officer posted outside.)

Magda: Hey, Jin. What’s going on.

Jinny: What’s going on is that I have been not-so-blessed with child.

Magda: (opens her mouth to speak)

Jinny: No, I’m not pregnant. Someone dumped a baby in my living room floor this morning, no hello, no goodbye, no good luck, even. What am I supposed to do with a kid?

Magda: Where is it?

Kate: It is a she, and she’s sleeping. (motions for Jinny and Magda to have a seat)

Jinny: (moves the diaper bag and bottle off the couch)

Kate: I spoke to the doorman, he doesn’t remember anyone coming in with a baby, but he had just come back from a break, when you called for the lockdown.

Magda: Damn. So what now?

Jinny: We call the mother and tell her to come get the kid.

Kate: Not quite.

Jinny: What do you mean not quite?

Kate: You don’t just give a kid to someone without DNA testing first. It could just be a coincidence that this woman adopted a baby girl the day this baby was kidnapped. We’ll call the mother, inform her that we have a baby in our possession, ask her to submit to DNA testing. We take the baby down. When the tests are in, if it’s a match, then she gets the baby back. In the meantime, we call Child Protective Services, and have this child placed in a foster home.

Magda: Awwww, Cap. Someone obviously trusted Jinny to bring this baby to her, and now you’re going to put her in a home somewhere? And what if they know we have this baby? She may not be safe in a foster home.

Jinny: Oh, no. Don’t go there, I’m not keeping this baby. I’ve got bigger and better things to do with my time.

Magda: Yeah, like work on one of your own.

Jinny: Very funny, Mag. No. I don’t know anything about taking care of a baby.

Kate: (holds a hand up for silence; thinking) Magda, would you be willing to keep her?

Magda: Sure, Captain. I still have Ben’s bassinet and blankets and stuff. I even have so girl clothes that my aunt got me when I was pregnant with Ben. She just couldn’t believe that I was having a boy. I guess I kinda hoped she was right, I never got rid of them, I think it’d be fun. Ben might even enjoy the company.

Kate: Fine.

Jinny: Thank God. I’ll get her stuff together.

Magda: And you won’t miss her, even in the slightest?

Jinny: Magda, I grew up with three men. I’m not the motherly type. Why whoever dropped here thought I was, I don’t know. Okay? I’m sorry. (stopped and stared at Magda briefly, then turned to gather the baby’s things)

Magda: (raises an eyebrow, as she turns to Kate) Anything new on the case, they see anything unusual back at the house?

Kate: No. This woman, is apparently a hard worker. Stays out in the garden or in the garage all day. A few people come and go with flowers, but pretty much nothing.

Magda: You know, it must have been hard raising a boy a fixed income, and what little flowers you could sell.

Jinny: (stops what she’s doing and turns back to Kate and Magda) You know, I think we’ve been had. (all eyes on her) Miss Sigmond said what? That Jeff’s parents are dead. Have been dead since he was small.

Magda: Yeah?

Jinny: When we spoke to Mrs. Johnston, didn’t she say that his parents were from out of town, and that they weren’t happy with her having this baby?

Magda: As a matter of face, I do remember that. Why didn’t we think about that yesterday?

Jinny: I don’t know, but I think we need to re-question Miss Irene Sigmond.

Kate: Yeah, and maybe talk to the mother again when you call about the baby. See if she knows where his parents live.

Jinny: (nods)

Magda: Hey, I have to get home. Ben will be back from school soon.

(Jinny helps Magda tote the baby and her few things out to Magda’s car. As soon as Magda pulled back out into traffic, Jinny returned upstairs to place a phone call to the mother of the missing infant. Before she was off the phone with her, Teddy was home. He put his briefcase down, and hung his suit jacket on the hook. He removed his shoes and turned to see Jinny hanging up the phone.)

Teddy: Hey.

Jinny: (rising to greet him) Hey. How was work?

Teddy: (kissing her gently, slowly) Good. You know I could get used to you being home when I come home from work. Did you sleep well?

Jinny: No. I’ve had a terrible day. I don’t know how people can sleep in the middle of the day with the racket that goes on.

Teddy: (glances over to the couch, where he finds a baby blanket hanging; picks it up) Is there something you want to tell me?

Jinny: (notices what he’s talking about) Oh, that. Yeah, we found a baby today that we think is possibly the one that was taken from the hospital. Or maybe I should say, it found me.

Teddy: Interesting.

Jinny: Not really. (taking the blanket and tossing it to the side)

Teddy: So where’s the baby now?

Jinny: Magda is keeping her until we find out for sure if her DNA matches that of the mother’s.

Teddy: Shouldn’t take but a couple of days.

Jinny: (nods)

Teddy: Where do you want to go for dinner?

Jinny: (makes a face) Dinner? Um, right. You know, I’m really still not that hungry.

Teddy: You’re not hungry?

Jinny: Yeah, you know that pizza I ate yesterday is really working on my stomach. Why don’t you, you know, go (pause), go get yourself something to eat and I’ll be fine.

Teddy: If you’re sick, I’ll stay here. I’ll have something delivered.

(Jinny makes a face, but finally agrees to that arrangement, Once the food arrives, Jinny’s stomach fails her again, and she retreats to their room to watch television, until the apartment airs out. The phone rings and Jinny answers it, weakly.)

Jinny: Hello? (pause) Hey, Mag, what’s up? (pause) No, I’m good, yeah, just kinda, still sick. (pause) No, I’m fine, really. It’ll pass by tomorrow. (pause; in disbelief) WHAT!! Magda, I can’t take that baby. I don’t know the first thing about babies. (pause) I’m sorry Ben is sick, but... can’t you just...(pause) Magda, please, I’ll take Ben, anything but that, come on. (pause) I don’t need experience, I’m doing well without it. (pause) Did you call the captain? (pause) And she said call Jinny, great thanks. (pause) Fine, I’ll be there in a few. Thank, buh-bye.

Teddy: (sticks his head in the door) Who was that?

Jinny: (sitting up, putting on her shoes) That was Magda. Ben’s sick, and she can’t keep the baby.

Teddy: So, what are they going to do with it?

Jinny: You’re looking at it.

Teddy: (thinks about that) Cool.

Jinny: Yeah, (as she passes him) You just keep thinking that when your butt gets up in the middle of the night to feed her.

Teddy: (laughs) I’ll help you. I wish that I could take more time off work, but that week we went to Vegas, kind of has me behind a little.

Jinny: That’s okay. (sarcastically) Really. We’ll talk girl talk and (shaking her head) bond. (deep breath)

Well, there it is, fixed the mistake and all, now off to find a new package of little kiddie butt wipies, for the brat, lol. You know what to do............

06-22-2002, 05:19 PM
Okay, not that I really have time to post, but I'm going to anyways, cuz I got to play with the babies at work last night and it soooooo fuuuuunnnn..........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Teddy: (pins Jinny against the door with his own body) You know, once she’s gone, we could, (pause) maybe, work on our own (coming closer to kiss her)

Jinny: (puts a hand over his mouth) Don’t ever speak those evil, vile words to me.

Teddy: (laughs; following her to the door and kissing her good-bye) Be careful. And hurry back.

Jinny: Trust me. I’m not going far with this kid.

(Jinny made her way to Magda’s house. Thoughts of her and this baby earlier in the day kept running through her head. She wasn’t sure how she’d survived for a few hours, let alone did she know how she would survive for days. She made her way to Magda’s house and picked up the baby. She didn’t stay long, because Ben was vomiting, also, and it turned Jinny’s stomach to even hear him. Magda informed Jinny that the baby would need more diapers, and formula before the night was over and made Jinny a list of things to pick up at the store.)

(Jinny reluctantly placed the baby in her car and made her way to the grocery store. She fought with the car seat to get it to sit in the buggy properly and ended up making the baby cry before it was over. She picked the baby up and carried her through the store to the baby items. She stopped at the formula, but had no idea what to get, when it dawned on her to look at what she already had. She pulled the can out of the bag and quickly matched it with the one on the shelf.)

Boy: (watching Jinny) Hey, you have to pay for that first.

Jinny: Hello! (sarcastically shaking the old can in the air) I’m paying for an empty can. (picks the new one up out of the buggy and waves it in the air before dropping it back in) I just had to see what kind she needed. Thank you.

Boy: (turning to walk off) Some kinda mother you are.

Jinny: (stops herself from replying) (to herself) God. (to the baby) See what I have to put up with for you. I really hope you appreciate this.

(She struggled in her pocket for the list Magda had given her as the baby began to whimper. Jinny gave up on the list temporarily to dig for a pacifier. She gave the baby her pacifier and worked on the list again. She headed off again, in search of diapers when a familiar face popped around the corner.)


Lady: Jinny?

Jinny: (in disbelief) Olivia? Wow, what are you doing here?

Mom: Well, I was on my way to the frozen foods section, when I thought I saw you, But I wasn’t sure, I had to come take a closer look.

Jinny: Yeah, um, it’s me.

Mom: Well, (looking at the child) I wasn’t aware that you, had, a, um, child.

Jinny: (looking down at the baby) Oh, well, honestly, I wasn’t either. (shaking her head) I mean, I don’t. This is just, um, (sighs) really awkward.

Mom: (smiles, taking the baby in her arms) Oh, she’s beautiful. She looks just like you.

Jinny: (embarrassed) She isn’t mine. really. She’s just, um, I guess you could say an assignment.

Mom: Well, maybe I’ll join the police force, if this is the type of assignments they’re giving now.

Jinny: We shouldn’t have her but maybe a couple days. Then she should go back to her mother. (turns to the diapers in front of her) How do you know which ones to get? I mean, this one has dry weave, this one has Barney, on it. I just don’t get it. What’s the difference?

Mom: (smiles, pats Jinny on the shoulder; reaches over and grabs a package of Pampers) Here, dear. This is what I always used.

Jinny: (looks at the diapers as she pitches them in the buggy) Thanks. Somebody must really have it out for this little one to have stuck her with me.

Mom: You’ll do fine dear. (hands the baby back to Jinny) You have my number if you have any questions. (turns to leave then turns back) Are you free for dinner?

Jinny: We’ve already eaten, but, um, thanks. Another time.

Mom: Of course. You’ll do fine. (watches the baby snuggle up to Jinny) She seems quite attached to you already.

Jinny: (smiles) Great. Thanks.

Mom: Anytime. (give Jinny a peck on the cheek) Give Theodore my love. (walks off)

(Jinny watches Olivia walk away. It had seemed to easy for to just walk up and choose a brand of diapers. Everything seemed to come easily for everybody but Jinny. Jinny added a few more things to her cart from this aisle. Though she was not a baby person, she found herself picking up small things. Another bottle, that was curved at the top, just because it looked cool. And a few other things that were just too cute to resist. When Jinny was at the checkout, she felt self-conscious about. She just knew everyone was looking at her and thinking she did not deserve the privilege of holding a child. The urge to drink came on strong for her. She fought it, telling herself, she couldn’t drink because she was now responsible for a life that depended on her for everything. The desire calmed almost immediately, and Jinny, again, felt some self-worth.)

(The fact that Jinny had had nothing at all to eat that day finally began to show as her stomach began to disagree with her. She pulled into a parking spot close to her apartment began to unload her purchases. Remembering the small child, she put the bags back in the car, and unfastened the seatbelt securing the car seat to the seat. She attempted to pick up the diaper bag and the purchases, the diaper bag sliding down her arm. Jinny finally gave up and left the bags in the car and carried the diaper bag and car seat up to her apartment. When Teddy heard the keys rattling outside the door, he opened it up to see Jinny struggling still yet.)

Teddy: Hey, want some help? (taking the car seat)

Jinny: Thanks. Remind me never to have kids.

Teddy: Why would I want to do that? You kind of look cute.

Jinny: That is definitely not a good choice of words (closing the door) Especially if you plan on getting lucky tonight.

Teddy: (car seat still in hand, puts his other hand around her waist, pulling her to him) I’m already lucky.

(Teddy bends his head down and kisses her lightly. Jinny deepens the kiss as she drops the diaper bag. The baby in Teddy’s hands chooses that moment to make her presence know to them. Jinny takes a deep breath and reluctantly pulls away.)

Teddy: Well, let’s meet this little gal. (takes the car seat to the couch and sets it down)

Jinny: (releases the straps holding the baby inside and slowly picks her up) (to the baby) Say hi. Say hi, Teddy.

Teddy: (laughs at Jinny; takes the baby) Hello there. She’s so tiny. How old is she again?

Jinny: Um, my guess would be about three, (shrugs) four days old.

Teddy: Wow. (sits back, cuddling the infant in his arms) Could you imagine?

Jinny: I have a good imagination, but no, I can’t.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, after a few last minutes revisions, I hope you enjoy it. Back to the grindstone.

Well, I tried to post earlier, but it wouldn't let me, so finally here I am...........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Teddy: (gives Jinny a humorous look) I’m serious, Jinny. I mean... (the baby took that moment to relieve herself, loudly) Okay, I see you agree with Jinny.

Jinny: Hey, I almost forgot, I had to stop and get diapers and formula. I have to run back to the car. I’ll be back. Want me to take her?

Teddy: No, we’ll be okay.

Jinny: You’re sure?

Teddy: Positive.

(Jinny takes her time making her way to the car, her stomach rolling at the thought of what was coming when she returned. She’d decided she wasn’t that hungry after all. Teddy had left the door cracked slightly for her to enter. When she pushed it open, she found him sitting on the couch, quietly, watching the small girl in his arms sleep. When he heard the bags rattling, he turned around to see her walk into the kitchen and set the bags down on the table. He put the baby back in her car seat and followed Jinny. He watched her unpack the formula and set it on the counter, and then remove the diapers from the bag, and hand them to him to put away. When he returned to the kitchen, she was taking emptying the final bag. He watched all the trinkets and extras that she lay on the table curiously.)

Jinny: You know, of all the people I could have met today at the store, I had to run into your mother. Is it so much to ask that we live at least a thousand miles away from any in-laws?

Teddy: (laughing) Oh, no.

Jinny: Yeah. She sends her love, by the way.

Teddy: Right. Okay. Thanks. And what did she seem to think about??? You know, do we even know this kids name?

Jinny: Um, yeah, (shaking her head, eyes closed, trying to think) It’s, um, Joy. Joy Anne; I think.

Teddy: (nods, looking back toward the living room where the infant was sleeping) Right, Joy. So what did Mom thing of our (pause; smiling devilishly) Joy?

Jinny: (smiles; shaking her head) Oh, you don’t EVEN want to know.

Teddy: Happy?

Jinny: After she got over the initial shock of seeing me with a newborn? Yeah, I guess. She invited us to dinner.

Teddy: Wow. (picking up a small box) What exactly is this?

Jinny: Oh, those are diaper sacks. They smell and you, like, put the dirty diapers in them, and they kind of, keep you from, you know, (cringes) having to smell that smell...

Teddy: (smiling) Right. And this? (picking up another small item)

Jinny: That? Well that’s, a.... thing... that you put powdered formula in when you want to travel.

Teddy: And where would you be traveling with this baby?

Jinny: Well, I have to take her for those DNA tests tomorrow and I thought that, well, I might need them. (shrugs)

Teddy: (nods) Of course. (reaching over to kiss her) And who said you weren’t cut out to be the nurturing type?

Jinny: (as the baby begins to cry again) Um, I think I did.

(Teddy laughs as Jinny picks up a package of wipes, and opens them, and opens the diaper sacks and exaggerates as she pulls one out of the box. She headed toward the living room and the fussing baby, Teddy close behind, smiling, not wanting to miss this adventure. As Jinny picks up the small baby and lays her down, she can smell the gift she had been left. Her stomach began to churn as she removes the small dress’s panties and peels back the tabs on the diaper as she pulls back the front of the diaper to reveal the small girl’s naked bottom.)

Jinny: (making a face) Oh, joy.

(Jinny attempts to hold her breath through the rest of the task, but finally fails and leaves the child half changed as she makes a dash towards the bathroom. Upon her return, Teddy is putting then finishing touches on the small child and greets Jinny as he is pulling up her panties once again.)

Teddy: Hey.

Jinny: Um, hey.

Teddy: Feel better?

Jinny: Yeah. You know, I would have done that.

Teddy: No, that’s okay. It’s a learning experience. (smiles as the puts the diaper in the small bag and ties it up, disposing of it)

Jinny: Yeah, right.

Teddy: You know, if you got something from that pizza yesterday, maybe you should go get checked out or something.

Jinny: No. I’m okay; (nods) I’m feeling better, now.

Teddy: Okay. You know, I think that she wants to eat (indicating the small child as she opens her mouth and turns her head toward Teddy’s clad chest) And I’m not sure I’m quite capable of supplying her needs in that department.

Jinny: (smiles at the baby, rubs Teddy’s chest) I’ll go make her a bottle. (returns with the bottle, taking the wee one into her own arms) You know, Magda gave me Ben’s bassinet, and some clothes for her, if you wouldn’t care to run down to the car and grab them. They’re in the trunk, my keys are on the counter.

Teddy: Sure. I’ll be right back.

Jinny: (smiles, nods) Okay.

(Teddy left the door open when he left, but was soon back to see Jinny holding the baby to her shoulder, patting her softly on the back. He struggled to get the bassinet through the door and wheeled it over beside the couch.)

Teddy: Where do you want it?

Jinny: (thinking) Well, I guess just leave it in here.

Teddy: Are you sure?

Jinny: Yeah, I don’t think I want it in the bedroom. That would just be too weird.

Teddy: (smiled at her) Okay. Here it is.

(The rest of the evening was fairly quiet. Teddy fed the baby one last time as Jinny took an early shower and readied for bed. They put the baby down in the bassinet and headed back to bed themselves. Jinny yawned for what seemed like the hundredth time in the past few minutes, as she lay her head on the pillow.)

Teddy: So, you really must be exhausted. Did you get any sleep today?

Jinny: (yawning again) Um, yeah, about two hours. Then the garbage truck came, and it was downhill from there.

Teddy: So, (laying on the bed, kissing her gently) you probably not in the mood to...

Jinny: (kissing him, cutting him off)

Teddy: Hmmmmmmm.... I’ve been known to be wrong on occasion.

Jinny: Yeah? (kissing him again)

Teddy: (muffled agreement)

(Jinny’s hands automatically went to Teddy’s chest, caressing gently. Teddy put his arms around her back and slid his hands up under her shirt, drawing her closer to him and he rolled over onto his back. He took just a few minutes to undo her bra as he slid both her shirt and bra up over her head. When he got the shirt up her arms he tightened it on her arms, keeping her from using them. He rolled her over onto back in this manner, and then rolled over on top of her, his arms still holding hers.)

(Jinny shushed Teddy, listening for the baby. She was not happy until Teddy finally went to check on her. When he returned with the new that she was sleeping peacefully, Jinny sighed and they continued from where they had left off. They were well in to the act, when they heard a very distinct cry rising from the living room. Jinny stopped what she was doing and sighed heavily. Teddy, however, continued. She patted his back, signaling that he need to move, to no avail.)

Jinny: (obviously no longer in the mood) Teddy, come on...

Teddy: She’s alright Jin. She’ll be okay for five minutes.

Jinny: No, (shaking her head) I can’t.

(Teddy finally rolled over, allowing Jinny to sit up, then stand. She grabbed the shirt that had been discarded earlier, and slid it over her head as she headed to the crying baby. Teddy found his own shorts and followed after her. When he found them, they were sitting on the couch, the baby now quiet, looking up at Jinny. He watched the two of them briefly, before speaking quietly.)

Teddy: Hey. Do you want me to fix a bottle?

Jinny: No. She just got done eating, she shouldn’t be hungry. She’s dry. I don’t know what’s wrong with her.

Teddy: She seems happy now.

Jinny: She would.

(Teddy bent down and kissed her on the top of the head and then watched the baby watching Jinny. The baby opened her mouth and yawned, but did not close her eyes. Teddy laughed at the sound she made when she yawned. Jinny looked up at him and smiled.)

Jinny: Why don’t you go ahead and go to bed. I’ll stay up with her. You have to get up and go to work tomorrow.

Teddy: That’s okay. You’re the one that hasn’t had any sleep, She’ll be back to sleep soon, and I’ll join you. (taking the baby) Go on.

Jinny: No, that’s okay. She’s my assignment.

Teddy: We’ll be fine. Go to bed. I’ll be there in a while.

(Jinny nodded and kissed him before finally going back to the bedroom to lay down. Shortly after her disappearance the baby started to cry, and cried until Jinny finally gave up on sleeping. She returned to the living room to see Teddy, nearly asleep on the couch and the baby laying in her bassinet. Jinny picked her up and smiled at Teddy. She fixed a bottle and grabbed a diaper and headed back to the bedroom with the temporarily appeased infant. Jinny fed the baby, changed and burped her and laid her down in the bed beside her. They both drifted off to sleep and slept peacefully the remainder of the night.)

(Teddy awoke the next morning to find the small child gone from her bassinet. He started to panic, but decided to check on Jinny first. There he found the two, dreaming dreams of the unknown. Teddy figured that the baby would wake soon, so after he showered and dressed, he fixed a bottle and carried it back to where Jinny was, and also a clean diaper. He laid it where he thought Jinny might see it, and left quietly for work, looking back one last time at his exhausted wife.)

(They baby finally awoke and Jinny was getting up to get a bottle, when she spied the one Teddy had made, and smiled. She fed the baby and they both drifted off, back to sleep. Jinny’s phone rang and startled both herself and the baby. She cursed as she picked up the baby and headed toward the living room to pick up the phone.)

Jinny: Hello? (pause) Dad? Hey. (pause) A baby? Yeah, it’s this case I’m working on. (pause) You saw the tv thing? Yeah, I felt pretty stupid. (pause) Hey, listen I gotta go, I have to take the baby to have some tests done, (pause) Come over? Um, sure, I’ll be over maybe tomorrow, after the baby goes home, I’ll come over. What do you want to talk about? (nods) Okay, then we’ll talk then. (pause) Okay, bye.

Jinny: (answered the knock on the door) Hey.

Manager: Miss Exstead?

Jinny: Yeah?

Manager: Miss Exstead, I respect the law, and because I respect the law, I’ve put up with a lot from you the past few weeks, have I not? I mean, first all the gunshots and all that night when police surrounded the building, and yesterday, when police surrounded the building again??

Jinny: Yeah, and I appreciate it greatly. Now, is there something you wanted? Because I have an appointment to keep early this afternoon.

Manager: Miss Exstead, this apartment complex is no children. Did you not read that in your lease before you signed it? I’m sorry, but you have to find another place to stay if you intend on having children.

Jinny: Look, this is a temporary thing, for the Division. She isn’t my child.

Manager: (nods, not believing her) Right. I have brought a copy of your lease, and I anticipate your response within the week. The kid has to go, or you have to go.

Jinny: You know, my husband is a lawyer.

Manager: And that’s supposed to scare me? Miss Exstead, the lease is plain. You agreed when you moved in that you would have no pet, and no children.

Jinny: I still have no pets, and no children. She is not mine.

Manager: (walking off, down the hallway) One week Miss Exstead.

Jinny: (slamming the door; to the baby) God, can you believe that?

Baby: (sneezes)

Jinny: I agree. (pauses) Well, I guess I’m supposed to give you a bath. (looking around the room) In something.

(Jinny dug through her pots and pans, finally discarding that idea. She then racked her brain for something else that might work, but failed. Finally she picked up the phone and dialed Magda’s number but go no answer. She then dialed the number at work, hoping Ben was well and Magda would be there. Kate answered the phone)

Jinny: Cap? Hey, this is Jinny, is Magda around, by chance? (pause) No? Damn. (pause) Last night? Well, it was, different. (pause) Yeah, okay. (pause) No, I was just gonna ask Mag a question, that’s okay, I’ll call her cell. (pause) You? No, that’s okay. I don’t want to take up anymore...(pause) You’re sure? (pause) Okay, well, I was going to give this baby a bath (pause) Joy, right. Well, I was going to give JOY a bath, but I don’t know how to, well, I mean what to use and I was just wondering if maybe someone might help me out here. (pause) Yeah? Okay, sure. (pause) And what about her belly button, that thing, (pause) And I mean, it won’t hurt her or anything? (pause) Okay. Okay. Thank, Cap.

(Jinny hung up the phone more confident that she could accomplish this mission, as well as the others she had already faced. Jinny found a couple heavy towels and laid in the bottom of the bath tub and ran just enough water to soak them and fill the bottom of the bathtub. She undress the baby and laid her on the warm, wet towels, to be greeted by an ear piercing scream. She immediately jerked the baby back up out of the water and held her against her until she calmed down. Jinny felt the warm flow of water down the front of her shirt and jerked the baby back, away from her as the baby finished peeing in the floor, and started to cry. Jinny laid the baby down on a towel on the floor and removed her shirt, cursing. She threw the shirt in the floor in the corner of the bathroom, and picked up the phone, which she had carried into the bathroom with her. She dialed the number to the station again and asked Raina to transfer her to the captain.)

Jinny: (waiting; baby still crying) Cap? Hey it me again. I put the baby, JOY in the bathtub like you told me, and she started crying. (pause) I know she’s a baby, but I’m trying to give her a bath. (pause) And you couldn’t have warned me about that before hand? Thanks. ( pause) No, thanks, I’ll be okay, now that I know she’s supposed to cry. (pause) Right, bye.

(Jinny picked the infant up and replaced her in the tub on the towels. She took the small bottle of baby wash and a washcloth and quickly washed the still screaming baby. Finally, she took her out of the tub and wrapped her in a towel and toted her into the bedroom, where she had brought the clothes that Magda had given her. Once the baby warmed up, she began to quiet down. Jinny put a diaper on her, as not to have another accident like earlier, and went off to fix a bottle. She fed the small baby, still wrapped in the towel, burped her and started through the clothes that Magda had sent. She pulled out several outfits and smiled at each one, but finally settled on a light green one with kittens on it, that said pick of the litter. She dressed the baby and readied her for the upcoming trip to the doctor.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Jinny loaded the baby into her car and headed for the station, where Danny was going to do the DNA testing on the mother and child. She parked in the front of the building and grabbed her badge out of the glove compartment before she headed inside. She struggled through the doors with the car seat and flashed her badge at the guard before her. He couldn’t resist teasing her about her load, to which she just smiled and continued on. Teddy met her at the elevator and grabbed the car seat from her.)

Jinny: Hey.

Teddy: Hey. What’s up?

Jinny: Not much. How about you?

Teddy: Waiting on my court case to start.

Jinny: (getting in the elevator) You sure you have time to walk me upstairs.

Teddy: Okay, fine. My court case doesn’t start until after lunch, I’m trying to look busy, and I thought I’d sneak in a cup of coffee in the meantime.

Jinny: (nods her head) Ahhhh....

(Teddy carried the car seat into the Felony Division for Jinny. He sat it down on her desk and turned to lean against her desk. Raina immediately noticed Jinny and the baby and bounced over to her desk. Jinny removed the baby from her car seat and handed her to Raina.)

Raina: Oh, my, isn’t she just so beautiful. (turning to go back to her desk, but then turns back) Oh, hey, Danny had to visit a scene this morning, he asked me to let you know he’d be late and that he’d call up here when he was back. And Cap wants to see you in her office when you get here. She said to knock first.

Jinny: (nods, turns back to Teddy) Great.

Teddy: So you want to grab a bite before I go to court?

Jinny: Um, I’ll let you know. Depends on how long it takes with Danny.

Teddy: Okay. (quick kiss) I’ll see you later. ( on his way out the door) See you Raina.

Raina: (taking her eyes off the baby only for a second) Yeah, bye.

Jinny: Hey, Raina. I need to go (indicating the captain’s office)

Raina: Yeah, sure, go. I’ll take care of her.

Jinny: (nods; knocking on the Captain’s door; then opening it) You wanted to see me Cap?

Kate: (on the phone, but motions for Jinny to sit) (hangs up the phone) So, how’d the bath go this morning.

Jinny: Well, she had a bath, I got a bath; then I had to take a shower.

Kate: (nods; smiling) You’re feeling better today?

Jinny: Yes, I am. (looking back into the outer office at Raina and the baby) What is it with babies anyways?

Kate: What do you mean?

Jinny: People just seem to bend over backwards to ... (shrugs)

Kate: They’re beautiful; they are created by one of the most loving acts two people can share. (shakes her head, thinking) My daughter just told me that she and Jill are going to attempt to adopt a baby. (shakes her head again) She’s just so...

Jinny: Wait, Jill? I thought... What happened to...

Kate: (stopping Jinny) I don’t know. All I know is she left with him, planning to have babies and work in the restaurant business and now, she back, with Jill, and asking to borrow money for another of her wild ideas, and wanting to have a baby with, Jill.

Jinny: (nods; not sure what to say)What exactly bothers you the most about this again? The fact that she ask to borrow money? Or the fact that she’s gay?

Kate: (seemed almost hurt at the term Jinny used to describe her daughter) I raised my daughter to be independent, so that she wouldn’t need to...

Jinny: (not a question) You raised her to be like you. You know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you just be happy that she’s here wanting to see you. You’re always complaining about whatever crazy scheme she’s come up with now; or whatever lazy, no good guy she’s with. I’ve never seen you truly happy that she’s here. Maybe now, she’s finally decided to quit trying to make you happy, and just make herself happy for a change. She’s your daughter, maybe for a minute you could just stop and see how happy she is being herself; and be happy that she's happy.

Kate: (speechless)

Jinny: I’m sorry, did you want to see me for a reason? Because I’ve kind of lost track why exactly I’m here.

Kate: (still staring at Jinny) (finally returns to reality) Yes, um, I just got the report this morning. John Compton is being released from the hospital and transferred back to prison. I don’t think he’s going to be making anymore plans on running for a while, (handing Jinny the report) seeing as how, he’ll be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He’s admitted to killing Officer Martin’s family and accepted responsibility for the deaths of the two police officers, as well.

Jinny: He admitted to them? That’s not the John Compton I know.

Kate: Seems he’d rather be dead as to live his life without his one true love.

Jinny: (looks at the captain, shakes her head; curiosity)

Kate: A pretty little brunette that stole his heart about six years ago.

Jinny: (shaking her head)

Kate: Everybody has a weakness.

Jinny: (staring off in the distance, thinking back) He was...

Raina: (knocks, then barges in) Hey, that was Danny...(looking around) Am I disturbing something?
Kate: (looks to Jinny)

Jinny: No. He’s ready? (taking the baby from Raina)

Raina: I fed her for you, but I think she’s in bad need of some assistance in the diaper area... (turns and leaves)

Jinny: (makes a face) Thanks Raina.

Kate: (smiling) Stomach still not up to par, huh? (walks around the desk and takes the baby) (to baby) Hello, Joy. Let’s get you changed and ready to go visit Mr. Danny.

Jinny: (laughs at Kate as she continues to talk to the baby throughout the process)

Kate: (hands the baby back) The mother is scheduled to come in late this evening. Then the results should be back in in two days time.

Jinny: Wonderful. You know, this would be the perfect opportunity for you get used to being a grandmother.

Kate: (puts a hand on Jinny’s shoulder, walking her to the door) Let’s not go there.

Jinny: (smiling as she exits Kate’s office)

(Jinny carries the baby and all her supplies to the Medical Examiner’s office, in the basement of the building. She avoids the stares of many curious people, including that of her younger brother Casey. On her arrival, she greets Danny and watches him ready his supplies for drawing blood from the baby.)

Jinny: You know, I thought that you took a swab of, like, their mouth, or something. I didn’t know you were going to have to draw blood.

Danny: (laughs warmly) You watch too much Montel. Mouth swabs are okay for television, but in the real world, when you’re looking for pinpoint accuracy, you draw blood.

Who-hoo! Go, Jinny. Tell her like it is. Wonder who was more shocked about that...Jinny or Cap? Anyway, Cap should be lucky she gets to see her daughter, Jinny isn't able to see her mother:(


Raina has horrible timing...they were in the middle of a moment...sheesh:rolleyes:

:lol: Wonder what Casey thought. Does he even know Jinny is married? Interesting...

Poor baby...I hate needles:(

Absolutely Not!! I resemble that, I mean, I resent that remark. Brianna would never have done something like that.

Anyways, I guess Scooby-Doo was cute, lol, and here's more.......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jinny: So, will it, like, hurt her?

Danny: Only for a minute. Then, it’s over. It doesn’t take that much blood to do DNA testing.

(Jinny nods, still staring at Danny. When he comes over to retrieve the baby, she hugs her tightly one last time and hands her over. Danny sits, placing the small baby in his lap, for which Jinny is grateful. As Danny sticks the baby’s foot, she begins to cry, loudly, and Jinny turns away, taking deep breaths to keep from crying herself. When she turned, wiping a runaway tear from her eye, Danny was standing in front of her, holding the now quieted baby out to her. She takes the baby, hugging her closely, feeling ashamed. Danny seems not to pay attention, until he’s cleaned up his mess from the baby.)

Danny: You know, you don’t look well, yourself.

Jinny: (not expecting him to speak) What?

Danny: I said you look ill yourself. You want me to (shrug) maybe draw some labs on you, too?

Jinny: (smiling in spite of herself) No. No, I am fine, my friend. Nothing a little Maalox can’t cure.

Danny: (returning her smile, not believing a word) Right. Well, then, I’ll catch you later.

Jinny: Yeah, sure. The sooner the better.

(Danny watched Jinny load the baby in her car seat and leave, waving backwards as she walked out the door. Jinny glanced at her watch, noticing that she still had time for lunch with Teddy if she hurried. She dialed her cell phone and agreed to meet him at the Anchorside in ten minutes. When Jinny walked in the Anchorside, she caught the stares of CD and Nate. She chose to sit at the table directly behind them so she could talk to them while waiting for Teddy. She placed an order for herself and for Teddy, so that their wait would not be as long.)

CD: So, Jinny, how’s the baby thing coming?

Jinny: Wonderful. Two more days, I just keep telling myself two more days.

Nate: Come on, Jinny. Surely you intend to have kids of your own.

Jinny: Kids of my own? Please. I can barely take care of myself.

CD: (standing up to see the baby) She’s so beautiful. It
must have been hard to give something like that up after wanting one for so long. Can you believe it? The waiting list for a baby? Ten years. They must have been devastated.

Jinny: You want to hold her?

CD: (shaking her head) No, I’m not a big baby person.

Jinny: (sighing) And what? I am? (taking the baby out of her car seat) Her name is Joy.

(Jinny hands the baby over to CD gently. CD cradles the baby, looking down at how small she seems. She repeats the baby’s name and strokes her feet lovingly. Nate stands to see the baby’s face for the first time, and CD turns slightly to make it easier for him. He smiles at CD, who is paying no attention to him, and sits back down in the chair he’s turned around to face the two women. CD rocks the baby side to side, and hugs her once, as she hands the baby back to Jinny and turns away, walking to the bathroom. Nate watches her walk away and turns back to Jinny.)

Nate: What’s eating her?

Jinny: (as she places the baby back in the car seat) I don’t know. Here say a year or so ago, before she and her husband split was, they’d applied for adoption, got about the same response, ten years. But that is just here say.

Nate: (nods, looks up as Teddy walks in)

(Jinny stands and greets him warmly, a hug and a quick kiss. He takes a look at the baby, sleeping soundly despite the wallowing, she’d been getting and looks to Nate. Jinny officially introduces them as CD returns and shakes hands with Teddy, as well. They turn back to their own meal, as Teddy and Jinny are served. Nate and CD take their leave with a few casual words to Jinny and Teddy. They spend only a little time with their meal, before Teddy departs leaving Jinny alone once again with the infant. She pays for their meals and leaves a tip on the table as she, too, leaves for home.)

(Jinny is happy to be home, feeling unusually tired herself. She feeds and changes the baby, and lays her on the bed, as she too, lays down for a quick nap. As soon as Jinny closes her eyes, she sees the small child from her earlier dreams. She is sitting on a porch swing, alone, flowers in her hair, flowers all around her. She gathers the flowers in her arms and seems to throw them at Jinny. She climbs down from the swing, and turns to Jinny motioning with her hand, that Jinny should follow her. She opens the screen door and takes off through the house, the screen door left to bang shut. Jinny jumped at the loud sound, but followed the small girl through the house and into what seemed to be a kitchen, where she ran and jumped into the arms of a man. The small girl turned, looking back over the man’s shoulder. She was talking, apparently to Jinny, but she could not be heard. The man turned around to face Jinny, smiling. Jinny gasped at the face staring back at her.)

(Jinny awoke with a start, waking the baby, and starting her crying. It took Jinny a few minutes to shake off the dream, and she felt herself becoming ill. She quickly made sure the baby was safely in the middle of the bed and headed for the bathroom. She washed her face and returned to a now very angry infant. She tried giving her a pacifier, which was returned quickly. Jinny picked the infant up, and cuddled her. Slowly the crying stopped and the baby stared up at Jinny. Again, Jinny offered her a pacifier, and it was duly spit out. Seeing the infant was just as happy without it, Jinny pitched it lightly onto the bed and carried her into the living room to answer the ringing phone.)

Jinny: (quietly prided herself on mastering the one-handed baby hold) Exstead. (pause) Hey, Case, what’s up? (pause) Yeah, that WAS me you saw carrying a car seat this morning, and yes, there was a real baby inside it. (laughing) Can you believe it? They are actually trusting me with something bigger than a puppy. (pause, listening) (playfully defensive) Hey, it wasn’t my fault that puppy had parvo and died. (pause) Oh, yeah, um, that. Hey, you’re not upset are you? I mean that I didn’t tell you and all? (pause) Great. You know, there’s going to be a reception in a couple of weeks... (pause) Oh, you know. How? (pause) Right, you got an invitation. I didn’t expect those to be out already; honest, Case, I would have told you, but... (pause) Dad? Oh, no. Is he mad? (listening) No? Upset? (listening) He called yesterday, I didn’t have time to talk to him. I told him I’d come by in a couple of days. (listening) Case, look, I’m really sorry, I am; but with everything that happened with Compton and ... (pause) I know you understand, but we tell each other everything, I just don’t want you to think that I didn’t trust you. It was just a spur of the moment thing, and we went, and... (pause) Okay. As long as you’re not mad. (pause) Okay. I’ll go see dad. (pause) Okay. Bye.

06-27-2002, 01:32 AM
Wow, you do know what to do, lol. Okay, here's more, but don't like freak out on me or anything, or I'll definitely have to cut back, lol...............

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Jinny holds onto the phone for a few minutes. She was sorry that she hadn’t told her father she was getting married. Casey had said he’d taken it hard. She wasn’t sure why it had been so important to him, but she promised Casey she would go see him, and she would, today. She picked up the phone to dial Magda’s number and waited for an answer.)

Jinny: Hey, Magda, how’s Ben? (pause) He’s still sick? Have you taken him to the doctor? (pause) Okay. Do you need anything? (pause) No, I was just looking for someone to take the baby for a few hours, I gotta go see my dad, and... (pause) No. No, if Ben’s sick, I understand, it’s okay. I’ll find someone else. (pause) No, really, it’s okay. Take care of Ben. If you need anything call me. (pause) Okay, bye. (hangs up, to herself) Damn.

(Jinny thinks for a while, trying to figure out who she could get to watch an infant, who didn’t even belong to her. She didn’t figure just anybody would appease the captain. Then she thought to herself, who better BUT the captain. She knew she could trust her, it was just convincing her. She picked up the number and dialed the station.)

Jinny: Raina? Hey this is Jinny, listen, is the captain available? (pause) Hey, Cap, it’s Jinny, again. Look, Casey just called me, and I really need to pay my dad a visit this evening. Ben’s still sick and Magda can’t take her. (listening) I don’t know, she didn’t say; just said he didn’t seem any better. But, I really need someone to watch the baby for a few hours, and I didn’t think you would want me to trust just anybody. (pause) Amanda? Well, it’d be a great way to see if they are cut out for a baby. Come on, cap, please. I’ve rearranged my whole life around this kid, for days. The least you can do is relieve me for a few hours, this is important. (pause) When? This evening is fine, you name the time, I’ll bring her by. (pause, nodding) Seven? Fine. I’ll bring her around about seven. Thank you.

(Jinny hangs up the phone before the captain has a chance to change her mind. She looks down at the baby, who is beginning to fall asleep again, and yawns herself. She considers going back and trying to nap again, but thinks better of it; those dreams are just too eerie. She settles on a diet soda and some television, while the baby naps on the couch beside her. She’s soon drifting off herself, but catches herself, and gets up to do something. She begins to think it odd, that’s she’s suddenly so tired. She’d gone without sleep a day before and it had never been so bad recovering in the past. Maybe it had just been too long. She quietly tidied up the kitchen, and the living room, and then moved to the bedroom, returning to check on the baby often. She felt slightly envious of the time the baby spent sleeping. She was only going to be with her for a few short days and... Jinny scoffed at herself. She was not a baby person. Teddy was soon home from work, being greeted at the door by a very bored wife.)

Teddy: Hello.

Jinny: Hey.

Teddy: How was the rest of you day?

Jinny: I’d rather be working that’s for sure. This staying around the house all day, is for the birds.

Teddy: Well, go somewhere.

Jinny: With a baby? Right. Which reminds me, I’m going by dad’s this evening around seven. Captain McCafferty is going to keep the baby, so you’ll be free for a few hours, too.

Teddy: I don’t have anything to do, I could keep her here, if you want.

Jinny: (smiles) No, really, that’s okay. Cap has agreed to keep her.

Teddy: (looks hurt; turns away to hang his jacket) Okay. Sure, fine. Whatever you want.

Jinny: Are you upset that I didn’t ask you first? Were you like wanting to keep her?

Teddy: Not necessarily, but I just wanted you to know that, you know, if you need time, I think I can manager her for a few hours, she doesn’t do anything but eat and sleep.

Jinny: (stops, nodding her head) Right. I’m sorry, had I even thought you’d have wanted her, I would have never as the Captain, but...

Teddy: (turning back, more cheerful) It’s okay. I understand. It’s fine with me.

Jinny: Okay. I’m going to get her ready and go, then, okay? You’ll eat?

Teddy: Yes, I’ll eat. You’re still not eating with me, huh?

Jinny: (holding stomach) Lunch was more than I could handle, I’m not really interested in eating again, right now.

Teddy: Okay. Have fun at your dad’s.

Jinny: Thanks, I won’t be gone long.

(Jinny packs up the baby’s things and kisses Teddy goodbye. She makes her way to Kate’s house, toting the baby and her things up to the door and knocks. It isn’t long before the door is answered by a young lady.)

Amanda: Jinny, hi. Mom said you were coming. Come in. (reaching for the car seat) Is this Joy Anne? Can I see?

Jinny: (handing over the car seat) Sure. Where’s the Captain?

Amanda: Oh, she’s in the shower. She’ll only be a few more minutes. (turning her head toward another room) Jill, come see the baby mom was talking about.

Jill: (entering, and glancing at Jinny briefly; then to the baby) Oh, how cute. Isn’t she precious. (looking at Jinny) How old is she?

Jinny: Um, about four, five days old. Something like that.

Jill: Wow, you don’t look like you gave birth less than a week ago, you look great.

Jinny: It wasn’t mine.

Amanda: No, silly. This is the baby that was kidnapped from the hospital. The one Jinny is taking care of until the DNA test it and the mother.

Jill: Right. (back to Jinny) I’m sorry.

Jinny: That’s okay. Hey, you must be Jill.

Jill: Yeah. How’d you know?

Jinny: The, uh, Captain was talking about the two of you earlier.

Amanda: (looks up from the baby for the first time, rolls her eyes) Nothing good, I’m sure.

Jinny: No, really. It wasn’t bad. Really. You’re her daughter. She’s going to love you no matter what; it’s just going to take a little time to get over having something like that sprung her, is all. See, I’m off to beg my father’s forgiveness for getting married and not telling him.

Jill: (makes a face) Ouch.

Jinny: Yeah. But hey, just give her time. Okay.

Amanda: (nods, but says nothing)

Jinny: (turns to leave, but here’s Kate call from the kitchen; she follows the sound) Hey, Cap, um, I’m going now. I brought her formula and her diapers, a couple of extra changes of clothes, (thinking) a pacifier, um, ...

Kate: (teasing) And you remember the baby?

Jinny: (smiles; slightly embarrassed) Of course.

Kate: We’ll be fine. Really. Go make up with your father.

Jinny: (had turned to leave, but just realized that the captain had overheard more of her previous conversation than she thought, and turned back)

Kate: (holds a hand up, to stop her sentence) Go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Jinny nodded her head and turned to leave. She passed back through the living room, where Amanda and Jill were now obsessing over the small baby in Amanda’s arms. Jinny bade them goodbye and walked out. She rehearsed what she was going to say to her father over and over in her head until she pulled up in the driveway.)

(She got out of the car, and stood, watching the house for a few minutes, gathering up the courage to knock on the door. She walked up on the porch and the door was opened by her haggard looking father. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes as she hugged him, apologizing for not telling him in advance of her plans to get married. He finally turned her loose and motioned for her to have a seat. Jinny could tell he’d been drinking quite a bit, and wondered if it was because of her. They say quietly for a few minutes before he finally spoke.)

Dad: I got an invitation to you wedding reception and wondered what was going on. I thought maybe the wedding invitation had separated in the mail.

Jinny: I know dad, and I’m sorry. I should have called, but it was late, and I didn’t want to wake anybody up. It was just, everything dad. All the crap I went through with that nutcase on the loose, and then him being there in my apartment. I’m sorry, dad.

Dad: No, Jinny, it’s not that. It’s not so much that I... well, I wanted to be there, you’re just so beautiful, Jinny. You remind me of your mother so much. It’s just, (pulling a small box out of his pocket) that, I wanted you to have this. It isn’t much, but it was your mother’s, and I thought, I don’t know, I thought maybe you’d want it.

Jinny: (hands shaking as she takes the box; doesn‘t open it immediately) What is it?

Dad: It’s just........ She told me once that she was going to save it for you. You used to sit and watch her put it on when she was getting dressed to go out. (tearing up) Used to beg her to let you wear it. A few years after she died, I remember you were looking for it, and so I went up in the basement, and I took it. Her father bought them for her on her wedding day and I wanted you to have them on your wedding day. I wanted it to be special.

Jinny: (can barely see the box in her own hands now for crying)

Dad: (both hands gesturing toward the box) Open it.

(With shaking hands, Jinny opens the box, to reveal what she already knew was inside. Laying in the velvet wrap, were the pearls that she remembered so vividly watching her mother don, but only for special occasions, she could hear her mother‘s words so plainly. The pearls she’d begged to wear herself, even at a small age. The pink plastic ones that her mother had bought her had just not been good enough. Then, a few years after her mother died, she remember going in search of them one last time, determined that she would have one item to remember her mother by, but they were gone. She had been so angry. Not only was there to be no talk of her mother, but he had apparently rid the entire house of any item that may remind them of her, as well. She had been so furious, she’d nearly decided to join her mother, but something had kept her from actually doing it, and to this day, she could not think of what it had been. She let the tears flow freely, as her dad moved from his chair to the couch beside her and embraced her. He was apologizing, as well, for all the wrongs he’d committed in his life, and just babbling on about things that Jinny could not understand.)

(Jinny and her father hugged each other for a very long time, even once the tears were gone. Jinny finally pulled away from her father and sat back, looking at the pearls once again, not daring to actually touch them. She finally closed the box and looked at the clock. Several hours had passed; Jinny felt good inside, despite her level of upset.)

Jinny: I’m sorry, dad.

Dad: No, Jinny-girl. Don’t be sorry. I’m the one that should apologize. It was just so hard losing your mother. You look so much like her, looking at you everyday, was like looking at her all over again. I wanted you to know who she was, but ... I just couldn’t bear to think about her and cry in front of you kids. I had to be strong for you. I had to carry on a job, and support you all, and it was so difficult for me.

Jinny: (trying not to cry again) I know, Dad. It’s okay. (tips the box at him) Thanks dad. I’ll wear them at the reception. Will you come?

Dad: Of course I’ll be there. My Jinny-girl’s married now. I gotta get to know the groom. Gotta make sure he knows what a lucky man he is.

Jinny: (smiles) Thanks dad. Look, I have to go, okay. I gotta pick up the baby and get home.

Dad: Yeah, Casey told me you were keeping it, how are you doing?

Jinny: It was kind of rough at first, but we’re doing okay, (nods) now.

Dad: Great. Just great, Jinny-girl. You’ll make a great mom some day. And you be sure to tell her about her grandma, (tearing up) will you do that for me Jinny-girl?

Jinny: (eyes misty, trying to keep from crying) (nods) Yeah, dad. I will,

(Jinny hugs her dad quickly, trying to keep from crying again. She rushes outside in the open, to get some fresh air. As she makes it to her car, she hears the door close. Jinny lays her arms on her car. With her head on her arms, she begins crying, again. She gathers herself together again, after several minutes, and heads back to the captain’s house to pick up a baby.)

(Jinny paused outside the captain’s house to make sure she had completely regained her composure. She fingered the pearls one last time, closed the box, and placed them in her glove compartment, before getting out of her car. She looked up at the house and took a deep breath. The door was answered just before Jinny could knock a second time.)

Kate: (looking worn) Hey, come in. Sorry, I was changing Joy.

Jinny: Hey, that’s okay. What happened to Amanda and Jill?

Kate: Joy cried, they bolted.

Burn the food??!?!! I will have you know that I am a expert cook. Hello, Gino's, do you deliver? LOL

Well, I am extremely exhausted, but I promised more, so, here it is. It isn't much, but I hope you'll forgive me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jinny: (nodding, smiling) Ahhhhh... Why wasn’t I given that opportunity?

Kate: (laughs) Don’t even thing about it. Not after the evening I’ve had.

Jinny: And that’s supposed to mean?

Kate: Don’t let the quiet fool you. She has cried the entire evening. I was getting ready to call you when I saw your lights in the window. She’s been quiet all of, oh, (looking at her watch) ten minutes. (listening as the baby starts crying again) (turns back to Jinny as if to say I told you so)

Jinny: (follows the captain through to the bedroom) She surely isn’t crying for me. If you don’t know what to do with her, I sure don’t.

Kate: Okay, little one, (picking up the baby, handing her to Jinny) Here, you go, Joy. Here’s Jinny.

Jinny: (allows the baby to cuddle against her shoulder; baby stops crying, immediately) (astonished) Oh, no. (shaking her head) No, no, no.

Kate: Jinny, she’s only a few days old. You’re practically the only mother she knows.

Jinny: Oh, no. Don’t go using that word in reference to me.

Kate: (turns her head to the side; frowning) (changing the subject) So, did you get everything worked out with your dad?

Jinny: (quiet; nods) Yeah. Everything’s okay.

Kate: (watching Jinny briefly) Anything you want to talk about?

Jinny: (smiling; shakes her head) No. (gathers the baby’s things spread out on the bed) (stops; doesn’t turn around) You know, I have this habit of screwing everything up.

Kate: (turns back; watching Jinny) (quiet)

Jinny: (shakes her head) I just... I just thought that that was over when I quit drinking.

Kate: (laughs, sympathetic) You never get over that. I still make mistakes.

Jinny: (shakes her head again) Not like mine.

Kate: Maybe not, but you’ll learn from your mistakes. You’ll make better choices.

Jinny: You only get married once.

Kate: (shrugs) Most of the time.

Jinny: Well, I screwed it up big time.

Kate: Dad’s pretty upset, huh?

Jinny: He says it’s okay, but yeah, he is. (sits down on the bed)

Kate: (takes the baby, who is now sleeping and lays her down; sits by Jinny)

Jinny: When Mom was alive she had this string of pearls (pause; staring off) and I was in love with them. I wanted them so badly, but she would never let me have them. No matter how much I begged. They were given to her by her father, on her wedding day. When she died, I tore the house up looking for those pearls, but I never found them. I thought they were gone, with the rest of mom’s stuff.

Kate: You were young then.

Jinny: (nods) He gave them to me, tonight. He’d saved them for my wedding day. And now... (trails off)

Kate: (nods) It’s too late.

Jinny: (nods) (too tired to cry anymore)

Kate: Well, you know there will be other special occasions in your life.: birthday’s, anniversaries, Magda’s wedding is coming up soon. Your wedding reception, which I just got an invitation to.

Jinny: (nods)

Kate: (changes directions, again) You know, Jinny. I know we’ve had our differences in the past...

Jinny: You know, Cap...

Kate: No, let me finish.

Jinny: (stares at her) We’ve had our disagreements, and I’m sure that we’ll have more, but I want to thank you for inviting me to your wedding reception. It means a lot to me.

Jinny: (nods) It would, um, (deep breath) It would mean a lot to me, if you came. (tears welling up)

Kate: (looks at the baby, who whimpers) Thank you, Jinny. You know, I never expected to hear what I heard from you earlier this morning. It shocked me that you would stand up and say anything to me. But I thought about it today, and you’re right. Nothing Amanda has ever done, has made me happy, because it wasn’t something I would have done myself. But Have watched her and Jill, this evening, and they are happy. She’s happier than I’ve seen her. I took her proposal to my accountant, and he reviewed it, with positive remarks. I think Jill may be good for her. How did you get to be so wise about these sorts of things?

Jinny: Not how you’re thinking. I’m straight as yard stick.

Kate: (nods; smiling)

Jinny: (picking up the still whimpering baby) You know, I’m going to go now.

Kate: Okay. Here let me help you. (taking the baby’s things out of her hands, and heading back to the living room to pack them up)

(The phone rings as Jinny puts the baby back into her car seat. Kate answers the phone, listening. Jinny turns to wave goodbye to the Captain a final time. Kate motions for her to stay. She speaks to whomever is on the phone for a moment longer, thanks them and hangs up. She sighs as she turns to Jinny with a long face.)

Jinny: (gives her a questioning look)

Kate: That was Danny. The mother never showed up for DNA testing. He’s called her house several times today; no answer.

Jinny: (sighs; shaking her head) So what now? We try to locate the woman that turned her over?

Kate: We go after the mother. Who is probably ten thousand dollars richer at the moment. I’ll get some officers to stake out her place. See what they can come up with.

Jinny: Yeah, well, first thing in the morning, I’m paying Mrs. Johnston a visit. Hell, why wait until in the morning? I think I’ll go now.

Kate: Jinny, you have a baby to take care of now.

Jinny: (turns to look at the baby) I have a baby? I have a baby to take care of? Oh, no. I don’t think so. This is not my kid and ...

Kate: And it’s the assignment that you’ve been given. Jinny, I can’t pass this baby off to another perfect stranger.

Jinny: Is that not what Child Protective Services are for?

Kate: Yes, but this child could seriously be in danger, and it’s our responsibility to protect it. Her.

Jinny: And why does that have to be me?

Kate: Because. She’s attached to you now. Do you really want her placed somewhere else? Do you hate it that badly?

Jinny: (watching the small baby sleep) (shakes her head)

Kate: Then leave it to us. Okay?

Jinny: (sighs) (takes the car seat and diaper bag into her arms) Fine. I’m going home. Good night. (turns at the door) Thanks for keeping her.

Kate: Sure. I’m glad everything’s okay.

Jinny: Thanks. (turns and leaves)

Okay there you go, I hope you enjoy it, until next time, fare thee well...........lol

Okay, here I am finally. Sorry about the delays. I have officially decided, I hate to shop for school clothes with a five year old:

"Mom, Can I have this shirt?"
"No, you can see through that."

"Mom, Can I have this shirt?"
"No, that is PINK. (not just ANY pink mind you, But PINK PINK)"

"Mom, Can I have this shirt?"
"No, Brianna, you can't have that shirt, it has yucky ruffles on it"

"MOM!!! How come you never get anything I pick!?!?!?"

Anyways, lol, here is more, sorry it is kinda boring.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jinny: Thanks. (turns and leaves)

(Jinny loaded everything in the car, and buckled the baby in safely. She headed home in the darkness and made her way up to her apartment. Once inside, Teddy took the car seat and set it down in the floor. He took the diaper bag and set it down on the opposite side and took Jinny into his arms. She stood there for a few minutes, enjoying the feel of being in his arms.)

(The baby was quick to let them know she was being ignored and Jinny fed and changed her. She sat on the couch in Teddy’s arms hold the baby in her own arms. They sat quietly for a time, enjoying each other’s company. Jinny finally broke away laying the baby in the bassinet to sleep. She returned to the living room and to Teddy’s arms. She hugged him for minute and backed away again, looking at her watch.)

Teddy: You know, I’m beginning to get a complex here. I can’t hold on to you more than a minute lately.

Jinny: (sighs; smiling) I know. I’m sorry, just this baby thing. Cap just informed me that the baby’s mother never showed up today for her part of the DNA testing. They’ve tried to call her all day, but they can’t get any answers. I’m going to run over there and check things out. See if I can catch her home. See what’s going on.

Teddy: This late? Who’s going with you? Magda?

Jinny: (shaking her head) Ben’s still sick.

Teddy: You’re going alone? Isn’t that dangerous?

Jinny: Not at all. There are officers outside, I’ll just find them, let them know I’m going in. They’ll watch my back.

Teddy: (sarcastically) Perfectly safe.

Jinny: I’ll be fine. I promise.

Teddy: Gee, the last time I heard that out of your mouth, you ended up being held hostage by a crazy man.

Jinny: (kissing him, first softly, then harder) I’ll make this up to you. I promise.

Teddy: I can’t talk you out of this?
Jinny: Sorry. I don’t want this kid any longer than is necessary. It’s affecting my personality. I can’t even sleep anymore for dreaming about babies.

Teddy: Oh, that’s a bad sign.

Jinny: (Shaking her head) I’m sure I don’t want to know about it.

(Jinny prepared quickly, grabbing her badge, and her gun, being sure to check it, and her jacket as she headed toward the door. Teddy followed her, listening to all the instructions she was giving him for the baby. When she turned, he stopped, standing behind her, smiling.)

Jinny: (curious) What?

Teddy: (smiling, teasing) You’re sharing all this wisdom with me, from what? You’re many DAYS of child care? You’re ousting Dr. Spock? Need child care advise? Stay tuned for wonderful words of wisdom by Jinny Exstead. (as an afterthought) Blumenthal.

Jinny: You’re very funny. (kisses him quickly) Gotta go. I love you.

Teddy: Love you too, bye. (as he watches her go down the hall)

(Jinny searched her glove compartment for her black book, finding her mother’s pearls in the process. She looked at the box for many minutes, before returning to the safety of the glove compartment and continuing her search. Finding it, she located the address of the baby’s mother and pulled out on the road. She pulled over by the curb and parked her car, searching for the car holding the officers. She located a car with two people inside and showed her badge as she knocked on the window. They rolled down the window. Jinny recognized the officer in the driver’s seat.)

Jinny: Hey Sam.

Sam: Evening Inspector. Fancy meetin’ you here.

Jinny: What’s going down? Any one inside?

Sam: That’s a roger. (turning to his partner) Where’s the paper?

Matt: We witnessed one white female enter the home at approximately 1930 hours, carrying two brown paper bags. No other activity noted. Ma’am.

Jinny: You mean, the kind of bags you use when you don’t want people to know what’s inside?

Sam: That would also be a roger. This is my new partner, Matt, he’s kind of fresh.

Jinny: (not paying much attention to the guy) Hi, Matt. (to Sam) Hey, listen. I’m going inside. Question her for a few minutes. She bailed on the DNA testing.

Sam: Yeah, I heard that much. I also seem to recall hearing that Jinny Exstead got married. You know anything about that?

Jinny: (stared at him for a minute, changes the subject) You guys back me up, if need be.

Sam: (smiling devilishly) Sure.

Jinny: (turns noticing the young woman exiting the house with one brown paper bag) On second thought, I’m following her. You guys enjoy your night. (patting Sam on the chest as she turns for her car; she can hear his response as she turns)

Sam: Right, sure. Thanks.

(Jinny followed the car down the street and turned right on the main street. She followed her for several miles and turned into a familiar part of town. Familiar to Jinny because it is where she and Magda had gone to question Jeff, Mrs. Johnston’s, husband. Jinny drove by, to make sure she didn’t spook the woman, and turned not far down the road and returned. She again searched out the officers posted outside the home, and knocked on the window, showing her badge. These officers were unfamiliar to her.)

Jinny: (reaching in to shake hands) Inspector Exstead, SFPD.

Man: Jake Barton. This is my partner, Frank Halowell.

Jinny: Anything?

Jake: Just the same ole, same ole. Little woman sells flowers day in day out. Pretty much no other activity, a male, presumed to be Jeff comes and goes occasionally, haven’t seen him all day though. This little lady that just pulled up is the first real company that we’ve known her to have, as far as I can tell by the log books.

Jinny: She didn’t by chance take a brown paper bag in with her did she?

Jake: Negative. Two empty hands.

Jinny: You have an extra radio? I’m going in to take a closer look.

Jake: Sure. (hands her a radio, which she hooks on the back of her pants) You want some company?

Frank: (sarcastically) Protect and Serve, that’s what we do.

Jinny: (rolls her eyes at Jake)

Jake: (smiling) He’s been out here in this hot sun too long.

Jinny: Right. I’ll call you if I need anything.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, there you go. I'll work diligently on more, I promise, lol

Okay Caitlin, and all you others too, lol, since I haven't posted in days, I'll post again, even though you are all probably in bed.

I'm just glad that Jeanie made it HOME safe and sound and I finally am getting to talk to her after her long trip.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Jinny walked cautiously up the driveway to the old woman’s house. She peaked inside the car that she had followed there to find her car window down and a brown paper bag laying in the front seat. Jinny reached inside and lifted the bag out, slowly. Jinny observed the contents of the bag: a box of shells for a pistol. Jinny checked the box to find that there were just enough missing to fill the clip of the handgun she was sure was in the girl’s possession. Jinny continued on to the side of the house where she followed it to the back of the house, from where there was light emanating. Jinny slowly peaked around the window facing and inside the window.)

(Inside the house, Jinny watched as the young woman, she knew to be Mrs. Janet Johnston, waved a handgun madly in the face of the elderly woman. Jinny could heard the muffled yells of the younger woman, and the return cries of the older one. She radioed the other officers, instructing them to radio for backup and then join her, quietly, at the front of the house, and then made her way to the front of the house to meet them. She instructed each of them to take a separate direction around the house and stop on either side, just incase Mrs. Johnston would bolt. She then quietly climbed the steps to the front door. She tried the knob on the door, and it turned slowly. As she cracked the door, she drew her own weapon. As quietly as Jinny could, she opened the door. The conversation from the back of the house was louder now, as Jinny listened to it as she made her way silently through the house.)

Janet: (very agitated) Where’s Jeff!?

Irene: I don’t know nothin’ bout where he is. Ain’t seen him all day. Now, get outta here and leave me be.

Janet: Not until I get Jeff, and I get my money.

Irene: I don’t know what you’re atalkin’ bout. You’re crazy in the head Janet. Jest crazy!!

Janet: You haven’t seen crazy yet!! Half that money was mine. Now I’m out the money and the baby! Where is he?!?! So help me, God, Irene, I’ll kill you!

Irene: You’d be doin’ the world a favor there, missy. But it ain’t gonna get you any closer to knowin’ where Jeff’s done gone a took off too.

Janet: Where is he?!?!

Irene: I don’t know where he went. Him and some girl done took off this mornin’.

Janet: I’ll kill you Irene!!! I never liked you anyways.

Jinny felt it time to make her presence know, since Janet was beginning to raise her weapon. She turned the corner, weapon raised, identifying herself and instructing Janet to drop her weapon. Janet began to turn her weapon to Jinny, but Irene began to rise, howling in praise, and Janet turned back toward Irene, ready to fire. Jinny feared that she would shoot the old woman, and fired on Janet. She struck Janet in the arm, causing her to drop her own gun, and fall to the floor, screaming in pain. Jinny instructed her to remain where she was, as she herself began to advance, weapon still directed between Irene and Janet. Irene began to run toward Jinny and Jinny pointed her weapon at Irene and instructed her to move back. With a hurt look, Irene did just that.)

(Jinny had kicked the Janet’s pistol far enough away that she felt safe enough to replace her weapon in her holster, as two uniformed officers and the officers in the unmarked car, that Jinny had met earlier arrived inside. Flashing lights from police vehicles began to fill the house from all windows. Jinny instructed an officer to take custody of Janet, until paramedics arrived to tend to her. Janet cursed all the way out of the house. Irene sat down, still thanking Jinny for coming to her aid. Jinny stopped her.)

Jinny: (angry) Don‘t thank me yet. (sarcastically) Jeff hasn’t been around in how long? Three years? Five years? Who are you Irene? I know Jeff’s parents are alive. So who are you?

Irene: (silent)

Jinny: Where is he?

Irene: My daughter an’ him’s has somethin’ goin’ on for a long time now. They split last night. I wasn’t lyin’ bout takin’ care o’ him, though. His parent’s was always too busy to pay him any mind. Always runnin’ off on some fancy, expensive excursion. Didn’t care none bout him. I pert near raised that boy on my own; long with my daughter.

Jinny: (nods, unsympathetic) Right.

Kate: (coming inside) Jinny.

Jinny: (notices the Cap; embarrassed because she knows she shouldn’t have been there) Hey, Cap.

Kate: Didn’t I tell you to go home?

Jinny: I did.

Kate: (tongue in cheek; nods; glancing at Jinny sideways) Uh-huh. (looking around) What happened?

Jinny: I went by Mrs. Johnston’s home, and watched her leaving, and decided to follow her. She came here (pause) with a weapon. (indicating the pistol in the corner) I observed them having words through the window, and entered the home. (adding as an afterthought) With backup.

Kate: (nods; still looking around)

Magda: (coming inside too, quickly; notices Jinny and the Captain) Jinny. What did you do?

Jinny: Hey, Mag. What are you doing here?

Kate: How’s Ben?

Magda: He’s getting better, but it’s taking so long. I was beginning to think that there was something else wrong with him. I was so scared.

Kate: (nods)

Magda: (looking around) What happened here?

Kate: (not giving Jinny time to respond) Jinny. (turns and walks off)

Hey, guys, I'm still kickin' and ready to post more, so here it is........if my computer will let, me, that is. It seems to be hating me tremendously, at the moment......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jinny: (eyes follows the captain, not sure what to think of her comment)

Magda: (laughs)

Jinny: (points to towards the captain, looks at Magda) That was uncalled for.

Magda: (rolls her eyes, still smiling) She got your number.

(Jinny traipsed outside, followed by Magda. She looked around in the yard and wandered into the small greenhouse at the back of the garage, Magda still following behind. Jinny picked up a few small baggies, and the ties, drawing Magda’s attention.)

Magda: Plant food?

Jinny: (looking back down at the bench) White plant food?

Magda: (turns her head curiously, coming over to stand by Jinny) What do you think?

Jinny: I think... (Jinny picking up a potted plant and turned it upside down; plant falls out along with the dirt; on top of the dirt is a small baggie of white powder) ...that our Miss Irene, is probably one of the wealthiest florists I’ve seen for a long time.

Magda: (looking at Jinny, smile gone; shaking her head)

(Jinny and Magda walked back inside the house. Magda walks by the captain, as Irene is graciously thanking her and begins to handcuff her, with much protesting and cursing. Kate looks between Jinny and Magda, beginning to show some anger, until Jinny flashes several of the small bags of powder they’d found.)

Jinny: This is just what I could carry in two hands. The guys outside are loading the rest into a car as we speak. (as Magda is taking Irene out past her) Sweet and innocent, my ass.

(Irene just glares at Jinny as she is directed past her and then out the door to an awaiting officer. Kate paces between Jinny and Magda, stopping to stare at Jinny.)

Kate: You could have gotten yourself into a lot of trouble tonight.

Jinny: I had back up.

Kate: Yeah, so I’ve heard. (to both of them) Go home. You both have children waiting for you.

Magda: (smiles at Jinny)

Jinny: (as they turn to leave) Don’t give me that look, I’m getting rid of mine in a few days.

Magda: I saw the light sparkle in your eyes when she said that.

Jinny: (now on the porch) Oh, that was the moonlight.

(Kate shakes her head; smiling at their backs as they argue all the way back to their vehicles. By the time they arrive at Jinny’s car, they are both laughing hard. Kate pulls the door shut, smiling at the thought of returning home to her own bed, and it’s secret occupant.)

(When Jinny returned home, she opened the door to be greeted by Teddy’s awaiting arms, before she could even get the door shut. Jinny takes her foot and lightly pushes the door shut. It doesn’t latch all the way. Teddy walks backwards a step, maneuvering Jinny against the door, hearing it latch, as Teddy pins her against it, hands under her shirt. Their lips part long enough for him to remove her shirt, and they once again meet in a breathtaking series of kisses.)

(Teddy breaks free and kisses her cheek and moves down her neck and to her shoulder. Jinny leans her head back against the door, trying to breath softly, but isn’t successful as a gasp escapes her lips. She reaches down and pulls Teddy’s shirt off as he kneels to place several kisses on her stomach and sides.)

(Jinny arches her back away from the door in her excitement. She tries to stop him when she hears the baby cough from their bedroom, but Teddy doesn’t give in, assuring her that the baby is fine. Teddy removed Jinny’s shoes, expertly, for flying blind, and then her pants, as he kissed around her waistline, at the top of her low-cut, lace panties. It was all she could do to keep from uttering a single sound and Teddy took a moment to smile up at her and wink.)

(Jinny took that as a challenge and soon joined him on the floor. Teddy’s clothes were soon gone, as well, leaving him with fewer clothes than her. He stood up, leading he back to the bedroom. He helped her onto the bed, removing the remainder of her clothing as he did so. Jinny peaked over and check on the bay who was still sleeping peacefully, oblivious to her surroundings. Teddy quickly drew her attention back away from the contents of the bassinet. They continued trading favors for several minutes, Teddy having to reassure her once again that the baby was fine.)

(When Teddy took her, it set off an explosion inside of her that momentarily froze her. She lay in Teddy’s arms for a long time afterward, thinking how good he was for her, in so many ways. She listened to the quiet and soon drifted off to sleep. She seemed to open her eyes in near darkness, and just lay there, not wanting to wake the baby. Soon, though, Jinny realized she was not awake when a small face appeared above hers. The child pursed her lips, and bent down, curls tumbling down into her face, as she continued down, down , closer to Jinny’s own face. As the small girl made contact with Jinny’s own lips, she jumped, and woke not only herself, but Teddy, as well.)

Teddy: (jumps as he’s awakened; startled) What!?! (looks around rubbing his eyes) What’s wrong?

Jinny: (sitting on the end of the bed, staring at the baby) I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you.

Teddy: That’s okay. (sliding to the end of the bed, hugging her from behind; rests his head on her should, joins her in watching the baby) Beautiful isn’t she?

Jinny: (looks at him and smiles; looks back at the baby)

Teddy: What are you thinking?

Jinny: (quiet; continues to watch the baby as she smiles)

Teddy: Look, she’s dreaming of her prince charming.

Jinny: (smiles)

Teddy: (looking at Jinny) Bad dreams again?

Jinny: (looks back at him; sad smile)

Teddy: Want to talk about it?

Jinny: No, (turning, placing a hand on his face, smiling sadly) You get some sleep.

Teddy: (looking back at the clock) Come on, it’s almost time to get up anyways. Talk to me. (teasing) So you’re dreaming about babies?

Jinny: (broad smile; turns away) I don’t want to hear any old wives tales.

Teddy: Come on, (arms around her again; looking at the baby) You’ve done great. You’d make a great (teasing) Mommy.

Jinny: We. (staring into his eyes) We’ve done great. Yeah, (looking at the baby) yeah, we have.

(Teddy puts a hand on her face, turning her to him her kisses her softly, longingly at first then harder, demanding. She returns his kisses, just as passionately as they turn and make their way back up, onto the bed. Jinny kicks the bassinet on her way, making the baby, start, and whimper before going back to sleep. They hold their breath until she is sleeping soundly again, and take up where they left off. There were few to shed and were quickly in the middle of making love when DJ Dave and his Morning Crew asked them to join him in greeting the morning. They laughed off the fact that hearing another voice in the apartment had scared them both, and again were back in the heat of the moment in no time.)

(They did not remain in bed long, afterwards, because it had made Teddy behind in preparing for work. Jinny lay in the bed for a few more minutes, relishing the final remnants of her euphoric state, when the baby’s cries quickly brought even that crashing to a halt. Jinny quickly threw on a shirt, and headed for the kitchen to fix a quick bottle, and grab a diaper on her way back. She quickly changed the angry baby, tossing the almost dripping diaper in the waste basket in the corner. She prided herself for the perfect shot, as she lifted the baby and put the bottle into her mouth. They baby was satisfied with the bottle only momentarily, as she began crying again.)

(The baby was still crying as Teddy rounded the corner into the bedroom, straightening his tie, to kiss her goodbye. He looked at her apologetically for a few moments before she finally shoo-ed him away to work. She took a deep breath as she turned her attention back to the still screaming infant. Jinny had done everything she could think of to dry the eyes of the crying child, from rocking to walking, until she finally sat down, in tears herself, to try and rock her again. After a few minutes of silence, the phone rang, setting the small baby to crying again. Jinny was uncertain what to do, answer the phone with a crying baby, or leave it to ring. She finally decided to answer it, once she offered the baby her bottle once again, and it was accepted, hungrily.)

Jinny: (wiping tears from her eyes) Exstead. (pause) Olivia. Hey. How’s it going? (pause) Good. Great. (pause) The baby? Oh , ( eyes wide) she’s great, yeah. Thanks. (pause) Working? No, I’m not working right now, just keeping the baby. (pause) A break? No, no, I’m fine. (pause) No, really. We’re good. (pause) Are you sure you don’t mind? I mean, cuz... (pause) Yeah, um, sure. I’ll bring her by in a while, then. I still have to give her a bath. (listens; laughs) Yeah, I’ve already had that experience, once, yeah. It was a, um, surprise to say the least. (pause) You’re sure you don’t mind? (pause) Okay, I’ll bring her some extra clothes. Thanks, bye.

(Jinny wasted no time preparing the baby and her few things in going for a visit with Olivia. She dropped her off, thanking her often for the small reprieve. She explained to Olivia what had happened this morning and Olivia hugged her, shocking her. )

Olivia: Sometimes babies just cry. They just need extra attention. (looking down at the baby in her arms) Don’t you. Yes, you do. (back to Jinny) She is just the most precious thing. You go, dear. Do whatever it is you do, and come back this evening, with my son. I’ll have dinner fixed, and we’ll sit around admiring our first grandbaby, even if it was only temporary thing.

Jinny: And you’re sure you don’t mind? Because I could...

Olivia: Nonsense, dear. We’ll have a marvelous time. You go. (playfully pushing Jinny towards the door)

(Jinny thanked her again, as the door closed in her face. She could hear Olivia’s muffled singing, as she walked away, back to her car. Jinny smiled at the thought of Olivia waiting for grandchildren. She thought to herself, she need not wait for any from me. Jinny pulled into the station and made her way inside to the Felony Division. Magda was seated at her desk, reviewing notes, when Jinny walked in. Magda turned to her, curious expression on her face.)

Jinny: What? You act like you’re surprised to see me.

Magda: Where’s the baby? Jinny, you didn’t...

Jinny: The baby is safe and sound... (pausing, waiting for the captain to get settled once out of her office) at Teddy’s mom’s. She called this morning, practically begging me to bring her over. When I got there, she did everything but shove me out the door. could hear her singing to the baby as I was leaving. So, I thought I’d come around, and see what’s going on. So, (shrugging) what’s going on?

Magda: The hospital just called. Mrs. Johnston is awake. I’m going to go question her this evening, after lunch. Right after I find a way to convince (stressed) Irene, to give up Jeff.

Jinny: You’ve talked to her?

Magda: She isn’t saying anything. She said that she told you all she was saying.

Kate: So, what’d she tell you.

Jinny: Not much. Just that she took care of him growing up, and that he and her daughter have had a (eyes wide, mocking) THING going for years. I’ll talk to her.

Kate: (nods to her and Magda)

Magda: (fills Jinny in on all the new information they had on the case; on their way to the holding room) You look tired. Did the baby keep you up all night?

Jinny: (smiling) No.

Magda: (bigger smile) Ahhh... Teddy, then.

LOL, okay, good enough. Here's more..............

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jinny: (smiling) No comment.

Magda: (point a finger at Jinny) You don’t have to. That smile says it all.

Jinny: She did, however, find a way to keep me awake, all morning.

Magda: Oh?

Jinny: (shaking her head) She cried all morning. No matter what I did, I couldn’t make her stop. I felt so, so powerless. I didn’t know what to do.

Magda: Ben did that. He had colic. Only lasted a couple of weeks. He cried all night. Remember? (Jinny nods) If it hadn’t been for my mother, I think I would have had a nervous breakdown. But a couple weeks and he was fine.

Jinny: (quiet; nods) (enters the room) Hi, Irene. I’m sure you remember Inspector Ramirez, and I’m Inspector Exstead.

Irene: I know who ye be.

Jinny: So, how long you been selling the cocaine, Irene? Few years? Since Jeff moved in with you? What?

Irene: (rather unconvincing) I don’t know what yer talkin’ bout.

Magda: Irene, come on. We found it all. Where’d you get it?

Irene: (shakes her head stubbornly)

Jinny: Okay. Where’s Jeff?

Irene: (shrugs)Out of town.

Jinny: Oh? With your daughter? What’s her name again, Magda?

Magda: (looking at a paper) Um, Sherry.

Jinny: Sherry, right. (to Irene) With Sherry? We located Sherry’s last place of employment. At an adoption agency. We are in the process, now, of contacting all applicants at the agency, with applications for adoption in for more than eight years. It’s just a matter of time before we find the family they sold the baby to, and they make a positive ID on your daughter. Which means, she’s going down, too. We can do that with you help, which means, we’d be more sympathetic to you cause, and more likely to help plead you a deal for a lesser sentence with the district attorney...

Magda: (pipes in) Which, my partner here knows personally.

Jinny: (staring at Magda for a minutes) Right. (turns back to Irene) Or we can do it without your help, and that means you both go down as hard as I can take you down. Either way, this baby gets a good deal, and a good family out of it.

Irene: I’m old. I’m not goin’ to get nothin’ out of it.

Jinny: On the contrary, ‘old’ just means that you have less of a chance of ever seeing the outside world again, until it’s in a casket. (Magda’s eyes, were as wide as Irene’s with Jinny’s unsympathetic attitude) You had a great deal of cocaine, in your possession.

Irene: It was Jeff’s. He made me. I got a cut, for him usin’ my business, but he made me.

Jinny: Which makes you a accessory. You were distributing. And it was on your property. And, Jeff is no where to be found. You will take the fall for this Irene. (in Irene’s face) You.

Irene: Alright. They have a seven o’clock flight to Rio this evening. Leaving from the airport in LA.

Jinny: (backing up) I thought I could convince you see it my way. Thank you, Irene.

Irene: He’ll kill me.

Jinny: (shakes her head) (opens the door to let an officer in) He’ll be lucky if he ever sees you again.

Irene: What’s that supposed to mean?

Jinny: They generally house their men and women prisoners in separate facilities.

Irene: I thought you said that you’d help me plead for a lesser sentence!

Jinny: We will. But that’s a lot of powder you had. You’re not going to get off with nothing. No way. Even I’m not that good.

Irene: I get one phone call!

Jinny: Yeah, sure you do. Tonight, after we have Jeff and, um, Sherry in our custody.

(Jinny opens the door to find Raina just about to knock. Jinny motions her to the side as she instructs another officer to take possession of Irene. She is led out, fussing to herself about the inhumanity of treatment to old people. Jinny then redirects her attention to Raina who jumps with excitement.)

Raina: We’re bringing in a couple we think may fit the description of the adoptive family. They didn’t really give up any information about the baby, but seemed pretty upset that they’d been contacted. And get this, they asked about the baby. They had a lot of baby things set out about their place, (waving a finger in the air, scrunching her nose) swing, things like that, but no baby. I didn’t ask or anything, but I just thought, it was interesting. (turns to leave, turning back handing Jinny a folder) Oh, their names are John and Martha Kent, by the way. They should be here by the time you guys have lunch. We checked their banking and savings accounts. They made a ten thousand dollar withdrawal from their savings account the day the baby was kidnapped and ran up another two thousand dollars on a their charge cards.

Magda: Wow. Twelve thousand dollars and instant baby. Think they knew what they were getting into?

Jinny: (shrugs) I don’t know. Did you read the letter that came with the baby? They’ve waited so long, I don’t know. Maybe they thought it was all okay, you know. They said they were told the papers would come in the mail. Maybe in the back of their minds, they knew it was too good to be true, but they’d waited so long, they just wanted it that badly.

Magda: That’s sad, you know. So many people waiting for babies, and all those kids out there that need homes. So sad.

Jinny: Yeah, but by the time they’re up for adoption, they’ve learned the ways of the streets, and that’s just not the lifestyle a new parent wants to have to deal with. And can you blame them? I mean, who wants to be dragging their ass out of bed at two thirty in the morning to be bailing some kid out of jail?

Magda: I guess. There’s no good solution, but still...

Jinny: (the two now back in the Division) Hey, why don’t you go grab a bite to eat with Nate and CD. I just saw them head that way. I’m just going to sit here and catch up on some paperwork.

Magda: Jinny, you have to eat, too. Have you eaten anything the last few days?

Jinny: Yeah. I’m just not, hungry, or something.

Magda: You are going to drag you butt up out of that chair, (throwing Jinny’s leather jacket in her lap) and come with me to the Anchorside. I’m not eating without my partner.

Jinny: (gets up, sighing) Okay. Fine. I’ll go.

(Jinny and Magda eat a quick lunch and return to the Division to question the man and woman coming in. They stop by Jinny’s desk to pick up the folder with the Kent’s information, and head down to the questioning rooms, where Raina informed them they were waiting. Jinny asks Magda to wait for her, as she enters a bathroom and locks it. Magda makes a face as she hears Jinny empty her stomach of the lunch they had just eaten. When Jinny returns, face bathed in cold water, Magda comments.)

Magda: Jinny, there is really something wrong with you.

Jinny: Magda, I’m fine. I rarely get sick, but when I do, it generally hangs around for a while. Okay. Give me a week, I’ll be over it.

Magda: Yeah, or maybe nine months.

Jinny: (opening the door for Magda to enter the room first; not quietly) That’s not funny.

Magda shrugs, raising her arms dramatically as she pulls out a chair and sits across from the man and woman in the room. Jinny joins her, both noticing how upset they seemed by this entire ordeal. Jinny and Magda exchange looks, then begin with introductions.)

Hey the all-American chocolate chip; who could resist that, lol......here's more for you too, lol......................

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jinny: Mister and Misses Kent, this is I’m Inspector Exstead and this is my partner, Inspector Ramirez. We have a few questions to ask you, if you don’t mind.

Martha: (near tears, but not crying) We weren’t given any other option, Inspector. Do you know how difficult it is to wait for a baby for years on end, and then be dragged in to be questioned like common criminals?

Magda: You were informed about your rights to have an attorney present? Correct?

John: Yes. We were informed. We waived our rights to an attorney. We have nothing to hide.

Jinny: Then why did you bring this kid to me? How did you get into my apartment? Do you know how difficult it is take care of an infant, when you have NO experience whatsoever in child rearing?

Martha: (looks as if she wants to speak, but chooses not to; glancing over towards her husband)

Jinny: (makes a mental note to this effect) So, you paid how much again for this baby? Ten thousand dollars?

John: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Jinny: I’m sorry, I was going by the note left with me (hands them a photo copy of the note) when this baby mysteriously appeared in my living room floor, and the fact that (showing them a copy of their savings account statement) you made a ten thousand dollar withdrawal from your account on this same day. (pause; watches them look at each other then back to Jinny and Magda) Not enough? Well, (showing them copies of their credit card statements) Maybe this will put the icing on the cake for you. The two thousand additional dollars you spent that evening at the Baby Warehouse.

Magda: Mrs. Kent, (sympathetic) I have a son, myself and I know how special children are. I can’t imagine a life without him now. And I understand what a person would do be able to have a child. And it is understandable how you must feel right now. (woman is in tears) But you have to help us...

Jinny: (interrupting Magda) Look, here’s the raw deal. The mother split, too. She didn’t want the baby either, she just wanted her share of the money, which this guy split with. We need you to make a positive ID on the woman who brought you the baby. And an agreement to testify in court against these people. No one is saying that you won’t get this baby back once this is all said and done. I see no reason why the adoption agency would keep you from adopting. But then, that’s just my opinion. We can talk to them, see what they say. But we still need your help to catch these people.

Martha: And we may still get to adopt Joy?

Jinny: Well, like I said, I see no reason why not, with a little help from our Captain.

(The Kent’s filled Magda and Jinny in on everything that had transpired between Jeff and Sherry, and themselves. They positively identified Sherry, and Jinny and Magda rose to leave, leaving Raina to show them the way out. Mrs. Kent stopped Jinny by placing a hand on her arm as she passed by.)

Martha: How is Joy?

Jinny: (caught off-guard) Joy? (looking to Magda) Oh, she’s great. Really. She’s (pause; grasping for words to describe the infant) just great.

Martha: (puts a hand to her mouth; tears)

John: (puts one hand on her shoulder, and the other on her arm, near tears himself)

Martha: Thank you for taking care of her for us. We only had her for one day, but... I feel like she’s what I’ve been living for all my life. Our world came crashing down when we say that commercial on television that day. I say it, and I just knew it was our Joy. When do you thing that we could, could get her back?

Jinny: (slightly under her breath) The sooner the better,

Martha: Pardon?

Jinny: I said, I’m sure the sooner you get her back, the better you’ll be feeling. (beginning to feel sick at her stomach again; putting a hand up over her mouth) If you’ll excuse me, I feel... (turns to Raina, and points to the Kent’s) Raina, could you...

Raina: Oh, sure, sure. Go. (Jinny leaves hurriedly; to Magda) What’s up with her?

Magda: (making a face; sarcastically) It was the pizza.

Raina: (makes a face; confused) But that was like a week ago...

Magda: (as she too leaves) Yup.

Raina: (shakes her head as she turns back to finish up with the Kent’s)

(Jinny and Magda don’t speak much on the way to the hospital. Jinny pulls up in front of the hospital, and they both get out. The security officer out front starts to tell them that they cannot park there, until he notices who it is and just shakes his head, smiling as they pass by. Jinny throws up a hand as she passes by, and he returns her wave. They stop at the information desk and flash their badges.)

Man: (nods at the badges) What can I do for you ladies today?

Jinny: Can you tell me what room a Janet Johnston is in?

Man: Certainly, (staring into his computer screen) 315, down the hall and up the G elevator. Make a right when you get off and it’s two doors down past the nurses desk.

Jinny: Right. Thanks.

(Jinny and Magda stop at the nurses desk and ask to speak to the nurse taking care of Mrs. Johnston. She appears from out of a room behind the desk, marked Med Room, and smiles at them from behind the desk.)

Nurse: I’m Kim, what can I do for you?

Magda: (takes over the conversation, noticing Jinny is looking a little pale) (shows her badge) I’m Inspector Ramirez, this is my partner, Inspector Exstead. We‘d like to get an update on Mrs. Johnston’s condition.

Kim: Certainly. She has a gunshot wound to her right shoulder, which required several hours of major surgery to repair. I don’t suppose either of you would be responsible for that would you?

Jinny: (ignoring her comment) Miss... (fumbles)

Kim: Kim...

Jinny: Kim, right. We need to question this patient, but right now, I’m looking for the nearest accessible restroom...

Kim: Sure. (walking over and opening a room marked ‘Nurses locker room’ and pointing toward an open door) Right there.

Jinny: (mumbles her thanks as she slams the door behind her)

Kim: (looks to Madga, curiously)

Magda: (as Jinny is returning; sarcastically) She’s fine, really.

Kim: (holding a finger up to Jinny) Maybe you should get that checked.

Jinny: (pointing at Kim’s extended finger; sarcasm) Maybe you should get that checked. Oh, right, it isn’t broken yet. (turns and exits the locker room; Magda and Kim following behind) We’ll see Mrs. Johnston, now. Thanks.

Kim: (as she’s walking them to the room) She’s been in and out today, due to the anesthesia and pain medicine, but overall, she’s pretty well okay. She’s going to need a lot of therapy to get her shoulder and arm to move right again.

Jinny: Well, her should is a small price to pay for the life of another person.

Kim: You mean she saved somebody’s life...

Jinny: Hardly.

Kim: (looked confused for a minute, then frowned with the realization of what Jinny had said) Oh.

Jinny: If you’ll excuse us now...

Kim: (sadly) Right.

(Jinny opened the door, allowing Magda to precede her inside. When she outstretched her arm, it allowed her jacket to separate from her side, revealing Jinny’s sidearm. Noticing this, Kim quickly turned and took her leave. They show their badge to the officer posted inside, and he stepped out, allowing them privacy to question the woman laying in the bed. When she saw her visitors, she frowned and turned her head.)

Jinny: (waiting a few minutes) Boy, you know, you had us all fooled didn’t you? Had us all believing your little sob story about how you’re baby had been kidnapped.

Janet: I don’t have to talk to you. Not without my lawyer.

Jinny: You’re choice. From what I understand, Jeff and Sherry are out partying at this very minute. Yuckin’ it up with your share of the dough. Bet you’re pretty pissed aren’t you?

Janet: I’m not talking to you.

Jinny: Fine. (turns to leave, then turns back) You’re baby, by the way, is safe and sound, in a new home, where she’ll be loved and provided for. Not that you’d care.

Janet: (tears) I didn’t want to do it. I wanted to keep my baby, but Jeff, he said he’d leave me if I kept it. This way seemed, more, I don’t know, more nice, thank killing her. I couldn’t have an abortion. I tried. I went and I talked to that doctor, and he showed me those pictures, and all that stuff, and told me what he was going to do to her, and I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t go through with it. Jeff, (sobbing) Jeff said he had a friend that worked in an adoption agency, and that he’d find her a real good home. I wasn’t supposed to find out, but when I did, he promised me half the money to keep me quiet. I just didn’t want to see her hurt. I only called you guys, because I thought he might have hurt her.

(Jinny and Magda left the woman sobbing, as the officer returned to her place inside the room. Jinny and Magda entered the elevator and Jinny hit the button to take them down. As the elevator lurched to life, Magda could tell, that Jinny’s stomach also lurched to life. The only other occupant of the elevator, a tall, quite handsome man, approached Jinny.)

Man: Hi. How would like to be sexually harassed in all the best ways?

Magda: (eyes wide; trying to keep from laughing out loud)

Jinny: (anger rising with the contents of her stomach; flashes her badge)

Man: (eyes wide as Jinny backs him against the back wall of the elevator)

Jinny: No, see, you’ve got it all wrong. I do the harassing, and I promise it’s anything you can imagine, BUT sexual. (elevator dings; doors open; Jinny turns and walks away)

Man: (following Jinny and Magda) Hey, really, I’m sorry. (grabs Jinny’s arms; she turns) Really. I’m sorry. (extends a hand) I’m Mike.

Jinny: (raises her hand, showing her rings) And I’m married.

Man: (jaw drops) Oh... (recovers quickly) Strike two.

Jinny: (sarcastically) I think you’re onto something.

Man: Sorry. (turns to leave) I’ll, um, catch you around.

Jinny: Yeah, buh-bye, now. (turns back to Magda) God. (shakes her head)

Magda: (laughing) Yeah, really.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There you go all Happy 4th of July all.

I know, and I'm sorry, I've been (that dreaded word) *cringes* working...

Here is more, thanks for waiting so *ha* patiently... I hope you enjoy it......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Jinny and Magda got in their car and returned to the station, Jinny still fuming as Magda teased. Jinny was laughing by the time they returned to the station. Teddy met them at the elevator as they were going up and he was coming down. He returned on the elevator with them, kissing Jinny after the elevator doors closed on them. Magda watched, smiling to herself.)

Jinny: (once they’d parted) Hello.

Teddy: (smiling) Hey. (looking around) Where’s Joy?

Jinny: (as they are getting off the elevator and walking toward the Division) You know, funny thing really.

Teddy: Yeah?

Jinny: Yeah, see, your mom called this morning.

Teddy: Really?

Jinny: Yeah. She just insisted that I needed a break. And that she was just the person to relieve me.

Teddy: (laughs) That sounds like my mom. She’s been not-so-patiently waiting for grandkids for years.

Jinny: Well, we’ll just have to make sure that she understands that this isn’t a permanent situation. And that there are no grandkids in her immediate future.

Teddy: (smiles)

Jinny: By the way, we’re invited to dinner. But if we eat, it’s going to have to be soon, because Magda and I have a plane to catch.

Teddy: A plane?

Jinny: Yeah. Our baby marketeers are on their way out of town tonight. We have to get there before they take off.

Teddy: (nods his understanding) I’ll call mom; see if she can’t bump up dinner a little, and check on Joy.

Jinny: Okay. We have to go check in with the captain, before that look she’s giving us, turns into a glare. I’ll see if I can’t buzz out of here a little early. I think we’re almost done here.

Teddy: Okay. Can I use your phone?

Jinny: (nods) Sure. I’ll be right back. (disappears into the captain’s office)

(Jinny and Magda are both back quickly and preparing to leave. They make plans to meet more officers at the airport and part ways in the parking lot. Jinny and Teddy also part ways in the parking lot, thought they are headed in the same direction. They meet up again at Teddy’s parents’ house and make their way to the door together. While waiting for someone to answer the door, Teddy takes Jinny in his arms and gives her a proper greeting.)

Teddy: (when the part) I’ve wanted to do that all day.

(Jinny smiles; hand over her mouth as if to hold the kiss in place. She turns, as the door is opened to be greeted by Teddy’s father. Jinny blushed slightly, knowing he probably saw them through the peephole in the door. If he did, he made no mention of it as she took her by the hand and pulled her inside and to him, giving her a hug. Then he took Teddy’s hand in a manly handshake before they, too, hugged.)

Dad: Sorry about that. We were upstairs enjoying our temporary granddaughter. But I think we wore her out. (chuckling) She’s falling asleep again on us. Dinner is in the oven, Olivia said she’d be down in a few minutes to finish it. Come on in and have a seat.

Jinny: Um, I’ll help her with the baby...

Olivia: (coming down the stairs, waving her hands) The baby’s fine, dear. She’s sleeping.

Jinny: (looks slightly hurt) Oh, okay.

Olivia: You go sit down dear. Dinner will be finished in no time.

Jinny: (following her into the kitchen) No, I’ll help. I don’t mind.

Teddy: (and his dad, retreat to the den to talk)

Olivia: Fine, dear. (hands Jinny salad to make) How was your day? I hear you’re going to be quite busy this evening?

Jinny: Yeah, uh, I’m really sorry to have to eat and run, but...

Olivia: Nonsense. I understand. So you’re close to finding the baby’s mother?

Jinny: Yeah, we found her, she was just doing this for revenge or something wicked like that. She didn’t want her. We’ve tracked down the family they sold her to, and we spoke to them today. The made a positive ID on the people we’re trying to track down tonight, as the people who sold them the baby. We’re hopeful that the agency will still allow them to adopt the baby. They seemed so sincere in their thinking that it was all good. I don’t know...

Olivia: (stops what she’s doing, watching Jinny) It sounds like they are sincere.

Jinny: (not paying attention to Olivia watching her) Yeah. They seemed really nice.

Olivia: (places a hand on Jinny’s; stopping her) (not a question) You’re going to miss that little girl aren’t you, dear.

Jinny: (looking up) What?

Olivia: I see that look in your eyes. (smiles) It’s just a matter of time before you and Theodore have children of your own. (shushes Jinny as she continues) I’m not rushing you, mind you. Just that I want you to know that I don’t think Theodore could be any happier than he is now. And when the time is right, I think you’ll make a great mother. (picks up the bowl she’d been preparing and makes her way into the dining room) When you finish the salad, dear, we’ll be ready to eat.

Jinny: (still; watching Olivia retreat to the dining room; she finally finds her voice) But... I’m ... not... (gives up)

Enjoy class, Michelle:D No classes, one of the very few advantages of 100 degree summer weather;)

If you were nervous tonight because you have like a test today or something-I wish you luck! Heck, I wish you luck whether you have a test or not-school is tough!

Also, I look forward to reading more tonight. Guess I'll just have to find something to do with my time until then...oh yes, summer reading, one of the few disadvantages of summer:rolleyes:

Thank you all for being so reassuring, I appreciate it. Thankfully, these classes are just basic stuff for my nursing class this fall....lol, but that doesn't make me less nervous. I'm hoping I can opt out of the math class tomorrow by passing the test, but I still have to take the computer class... wee, lol. I could probably opt out of it also, but I want to do the stuff at the end because it is stuff out of my nursing books that I'll get into later, lol.

But anyways, thanks all, you're all great, and here's more .......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jinny finishes the salad quickly and carries it to the table, which is set with dishes that are more beautiful than anything that Jinny has ever seen before. She hands Olivia the salad and just looks around. Teddy and his father join them shortly, and Teddy puts an arm around Jinny and guides her to the opposite side of the table, where he pulls out a chair for her to sit. She smiles at him weakly as she accepts the chair, and sits. Dinner is a quiet affair. Teddy and his father’s conversation takes up a good part of the meal time. Olivia observed the fact that Jinny was eating very little, but decided not to mention it. The baby awoke and Olivia rushed to get her, instructing Jinny to remain and finish her meal, before she had to leave.)

Olivia: (as she returns with a cranky baby, handing her to Jinny) There ya go. (baby quiets as she is paced against Jinny’s shoulder) I think you’ve missed your Momma today, haven’t you?

(Jinny blushed at Olivia’s remark, but let it go as she quietly snuggled with the infant. She, too has missed this part of her day with the small child. Though she admittedly could have done without the episode earlier in the day, when consoling the screaming child had been next to impossible. Jinny had all but forgotten her unfinished meal. She turned back to the meal, with an apologetic expression, as she struggled with the child and her fork. Olivia gave her an understanding smile.)

Olivia: (nods) Go. Be with her. You have leave soon. She’s probably ready to eat again, too. I’ll fix a bottle and bring it to you.

Jinny: (relieved look) Thank you. (indicating the unfinished meal) I’m really sorry..

Olivia: Don’t be. I understand.

(Jinny nodded and retreated with the infant to the living room sofa. Olivia soon returned with a bottle and then left the two alone as she went to finish her meal. She could not make out the conversation, but could hear the laughing in the dining room. Jinny sat quietly, watching the infant as she ate. The small child placed her own hand on Jinny’s, grasping her pinky as she ate. Jinny couldn’t believe the feelings that came rushing to her at that very moment. The fact that she would have this child for such a short amount of time, bothered her for the first time. She laughed to herself; realizing that Teddy’s mother knew her so well, for having known her for such a short time. She heard a cell phone ring and a few minutes later, Teddy appeared around the corner.)

Teddy: Hey. That was Magda. She said she’d meet you at the station in thirty.

Jinny: (nods; trying to hide her upset) Okay. I’m almost finished here. (takes the baby and places her on her shoulder) Are you staying here? Or are you going home with the baby?

Teddy: I don’t know. I guess, (sitting by her) that depends on Mom. (smiles)

Jinny: (nods)

Teddy: Are you okay?

Jinny: Yeah. I’m fine. I just have to get ready to go. You want to take her? (pushing the baby into his arms; gets up quickly; walking away, but not leaving the room)

Teddy: (watches her; back to him) Sure. (baby burps; he makes sure she’s safely tucked onto the couch; gets up and goes to Jinny) Hey, what’s up? (turning her to face him) What’s wrong? (whisper) Did mom say something to you?

Jinny: No. (hand over his mouth) No. I’m fine. really. I just... (stops; looks at her watch; points back towards the door) I gotta go. (kisses him quickly; as she’s leaving) I’ll see you tonight.

Teddy: (watches her leave) Okay. (to the door) I’ll see you later. (turns back to the baby on the couch)

(Magda is waiting for Jinny when she pulls into the parking lot at the station. The captain appears, giving last minutes instructions and informing the officers present, many in ordinary street clothes for the apprehension of the criminals, that they are not to move in, until Jinny and Magda give the word. Jinny is quiet on the way to the airport. Magda keeps watching her and finally gives caves to the silence.)

Magda: What is up with you?

Jinny: (looking at Magda for the first time) What?

Magda: You. What’s up with you? One minute you’re okay, then next you’re this... this... I don’t know ... this entirely different person. And you haven’t even started yet. What’s going on?

Jinny: (quickly pulls the car over to the curb, nearly causing an accident as she does so and throws the car into park; looking at Magda) Oh God.

Magda: (still holding on to her seat; looking at Jinny as if she had really gone crazy) What?!

Jinny: I HAVEN’T started yet.

Magda: (looks at Jinny curiously for a minute, then bursts out laughing) Oh, God, Jinny, you ARE pregnant.

Jinny: (defensively; not even sure she believes herself at this point) I am not pregnant. That is NOT possible. No. No, I am not. It’s just... I’m just... (pausing) screwed. Oh, God Magda what if I am? What am I going to do with a baby?

Magda: You act like this is a big surprise or something. I’ve been trying to tell you for a week that you were.

Jinny: But I just thought I was sick. Really. I mean...

Magda: (still enjoying every moment) You honestly had no clue? Come on, Jinny. You’ve been moody and...

Jinny: But that’s only because... I haven’t slept well, because I keep having...(stops; closes her eyes in understanding) these... dreams.

Magda: These dreams? What kind of dreams?

Jinny: I keep seeing this little girl...

Magda: Oh, so you’re even dreaming about babies? And you didn’t get it?

Jinny: (calming down enough to pull back out onto the road) They just seemed so real. Like I could reach out and touch her. At first I wasn’t sure... I thought it was me when I was little you know? Then I had this dream the other day, and I followed her into the house and she ran up to this man, and he turned around and it was.............

Think I should stop here for a dramtic pause and take time to let you all know that I really appreciate you reading my fic.

............... Teddy. I didn’t understand... I just thought I was dreaming about Joy. You know, and I didn’t understand why because she’s just a baby.

Magda: (laughs softly)

Jinny: (breaks from watching the road to look at Magda) What?

Magda: I think that’s the first time I’ve heard you use her name.

Jinny: (thinking about that)

Jinny: I don’t need to do that, I can get one from the store, Magda. (pause) Will you get me from the...

Magda: Absolutely not. You need to go have a blood test done, it’s more accurate.

Jinny: You know what? I think you people are sadistic. Every time I turn around, it’s blood test this and blood test that... I need my blood for important things, like living. I don’t know how I let you talk me into this thinking, but I’m not pregnant. I can’t be, I’ve only been married two weeks.

Magda: (rolls her eyes at Jinny as they get out of the car) Like that matters, Jinny. I wasn’t married when I had Benjamin.

Jinny: (looks at Magda, sighs) What am I going to do, Mag?

How nice of you to give us a commerical break. I never knew stories had commerical breaks. But that was thoughtful of you. Although next time instead of the commerical break you could add more to the story and make it that much longer.

Thanks for posting and yeah you know the drill I want what is that word. Hmmm..... oh yeah MORE!!!!
