Happy Birthday Jeanie: Acts Of Betrayal And Acts Of Love

[CD DeLorenzo]

Disclaimer: This story belongs to Jeanie because it's her b'day present. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ILY. The Division however beongs to DJL, if that belonged to Jeanie too, we all know what would be different now, right? So I'm writing this to make up for that a little at least. This is my idea of an alternative ending for the season finale. A lot will stay the same though. And I'm not gonna change the whole previous season, just the finale. It starts to be different the moment superma... ah I mean Jack As... ahh Ellis... is coming to see Jinny.
To be completely honest, I first wanted to make another picture story thing, but I couldn't come up with an idea and I didn't wanna do the same twice. So I hope you'll like this too. Have a great day!


ACTS OF BETRAYAL AND ACTS OF LOVE


There was a knock on the door and Jinny went to open it. She was surprised to find her still husband standing there.

"Hi." He said, sounding relieved.

"Hey." Jinny still was surprised to see him there.

"I saw your light on, so I thought you might still be up." He had waited in his car in front of the house for a while already, wondering if he should go up or better not.

Jinny nodded slightly. "Uhm listen I was just making... making some tea." She motioned towards her kitchen. "You want some?"

"Yeah I'd love some. Thanks" Jack walked inside past her as she closed the door again.

When Jack walked into the kitchen he looked around like he had never seen the place before. Jinny got a cup out of the cupboard and there was an awkward silence between them.

Suddenly they both spoke up again at the same time. "Look... look I..." Jack said.

"See I really..." Jinny smiled because they had started to talk at the same time. She stroked her hair behind her ears and waited for him to speak up again.

After another moment of silence he did. "I just uh... I didn't wanna leave without..."

"I'm really glad that you didn't." She had thought a lot and had come to conclusions which actually had been there all along, deep down in her heart she had always known. But she had been scared to admit it to herself. And afraid to feel hurt again. But the truth was that she had to deal with the pain she still felt.

He smiled at that and stepped closer.

But she sighed and stepped back. "Jack... look. We really need to talk."

He nodded and they went to sit down on the couch, pretty much as far away from each other as possible.

Jinny took a deep breath and looked at her hands and then back at him again. "This... this isn't exactly easy for me to say... and it's probably going to hurt you, but I have to tell you."

He nodded, a little scared of what she was going to say now. "Go ahead."

"I want a divorce." She was relieved that was said now. But she knew she had to say a lot more. He wanted to speak up but she stopped him. "Let me explain..." She took a deep breath. "When we met... there was something missing in my life... someone missing. ANd I thought you could fill up that void. But you couldn't give me what I needed. Because what I needed and actually, what I still need is more than a relationship that's based on sex and hearing 'I love you' every now and then. It's the little things. You never told me something cute... no candles lit in the whole room. Little touches and smiles... you never showed me that you loved me. And to be honest I don't think you ever did. But then again neither did I. Or else I never would have started drinking again... and the drugs. I think you drove me into that. And I'm sure it's for the best if we don't see each other again." She swallowed and looked at him. He was the biggest mistake she ever made because now she knew she could never substitue the only man she ever loved.

He glared at her. "Fine. You'll get your divorce." With that he got up and stormed off, slamming the door shut behind him. This hadn't gone like he had planned at all.

Jinny took another deep breath. But she knew that she had done the right thing. She wanted him out of her life again and she had succeeded. But she couldn't stop the tears from emerging her eyes. Not because she missed him, but because she still missed the one who still owned her heart.

Hmmm, well let's see, clue number one: This fanfic is for Jeanie... clue number two: Jinny was paired up with who again in my other fanfics?
Oh hell, I'll admit it! It's Spivey of course! Jinny is truely deeply madly in love with Spivey!


****************************************************

The next day at work started with Spivey pissing them off again. Everybody was anxious to get Kate back. So after hitting her street sources CD decided to pay her a little visit. She knew her friend and boss well enough to know she'd want to know what was going on at the Division. Apart from that there was something on her mind that she really wanted to talk about. But once she was there she knew she couldn't, not just because Kate was their boss, also because she hardly ever talked about her feelings. The only person she felt comfortable with when she opened up was Nate. And she longed to talk to him too, but she couldn't talk to him about talking to him. The door opened in front of her before she even ringed the bell and CD was torn out of her thoughts again.

"CD... hey." Louis said. "Go on in. But don't make her work!" He warned and hurried off.

CD frowned and watched after him for a second. "Hey to you too." She muttered and then walked inside. "Kate?" She called out.

"In the dining room." Kate answered and had to smile. She was glad somebody from work came by, especially CD.

"Hey you." CD gave her a quick hug and sat down next to her, putting her black jacket over the chair behind her.

"Louis just made some tea. Do you want some?" She motioned at the teapot.

"Sure." She smiled.

Louis hadn't drunk any so Kate filled up the second cup that was on the table. "What's going on?" She asked curious to hear more about their latest case. "And how's the acting Captain doing?"

CD rolled her eyes at that. "He's not you, ya know?" She sighed and then started to tell her what they had found out so far.

Kate listened to it and watched her. "But that's not everything on your mind, is it?" She knew CD was one of those inspectors who saw the people behind the cases and solving a crime meant more to her then finishing up a folder with paperwork. But she knew CD well enought to know that something else was going on.

CD had to smile a little and bit her lower lip. "Nah... it's not so important... private stuff, you know?" She took a sip of the tea.

"Private stuff... I see." Kate nodded but looked at her questioningly.

CD sighed. "Okay, it's a guy... but really, that's not important right now, okay?"

"Okay." Kate knew that CD apparently wasn't ready to talk about it yet but couldn't help but wonder what everybody had been wondering for quite a while now anyways. She considered if she should ask how Nate was doing and watch her reaction to that to get a clue but at that moment the phone rang. "I'm sorry, I'll be right back." She supported herself on the table to get up.

"I'll help you." CD got up right away.

"No, it's fine, really. I have this thing here." she slightly grumbled, not too fond of her walker at all as she made her way to the livingroom with it.

Watching after her CD hoped she would be all okay again soon, knowing how much she must hate this. She knew she would probably be a lot more impatient in her situation. Apart from that she wondered if it really was that obvious that no matter what else was going on, Nate was on her mind all the time too. She took a sip of her tea and then looked up when she noticed Kate re-enter the room. She smiled a little bit proud of her even because she seemed to make good progress.

Kate smiled back at her. "Okay, do you remember the movie Heidi?" She asked, making her way back to the table. CD thought for a second and slightly nodded as Kate continued: "With the little girl who got up out of her wheelchair and she walked all by herself?"

"But only because Shirley Temple told her she could walk if she really tried." CD answered.

"Right, but Shirley Temple was here last night." Kate said and put her walker aside.

CD quickly got up, not quite sure what to expect now and watched Kate stand by herself, still supporting herself at the wall though. "Good as new." She really hadn't expected this much progress yet.

"Well almost, I still got this..." Kate held up her crutch for a second and then used it to walk now. "...but it's an improvement." She chuckled a little.

"Where is Louis?" CD asked as she held out the chair for Kate to sit down again.

"Oh god, he's at the farmer's market. He's been cooking day and night and I don't have the heart to tell him to stop." She said slightly annoyed as she and CD sat down again. "How is the search going?"

CD just gave her a look at first that made it clear she wasn't satisfied at all with that. "We were close. But now, with this little boy taken hostage we're nowhere and I really ah..." She checked her watch. "I really should get back."

"Oh." Kate said slightly disappointed at that. "Well, lemme help." She wished she could be there with them.

CD got up and put her jacket on again. She knew how much Kate missed her job and she really hoped she would return. Spivey was more than a pain in the ass and she'd even rather have Captain Bears back before being stuck with that bonsai whacko. But of course what they all wanted was Kate back where she belonged.

"I'm ya know, I'm going a lil crazy here to tell you the truth. And as you can see I'm fine, so at least keep me in the loop?" She asked slightly desperate.

CD smiled and made a mental note to send Raina over with the latest reports later. "I will" She leaned down and kissed her head. "See you cap."

****************************************************

After Louis had come back and cooked yet again before leaving to buy even more stuff, Kate had to realize that walking without any kind of walking aid wasn't exactly the best idea she ever had.

Meanwhile at the station Magda and Jinny came back from buying tea for Magda from the vendor in the lobby. They were alone in the elevator on the way up and Magda looked over at her partner. "Jonah came by earlier." She said looking back into her papercup again.

"What'd he want?" Jinny asked, knowing about everything that had been going on.

"To apologize for his behavior and all." She slightly shrugged. "And he gave me the key to his apartment. He wants me in his life for real." As she said the last part she sounded a little uncomfortable about that.

Jinny frowned. "But isn't that what you wanted? I mean you know you can't keep both Gabe and Jonah, right?" She asked.

"Yeah, right." Her voice didn't exactly sound like she was agreeing on that.

"Okay Mag." Jinny looked at her sternly wondering when she had become the sensible one of them. "What do you think he would have done if you were pregnant? Do you really think he would have come back to you too then?"

Magda just shrugged and started to stir in her tea as they walked out of the elevator. "Enough about me... what about you? I saw Jack yesterday. You didn't tell me he's back in town."

"Not for long. He's moving back to Tucson. Actually he left this morning." It didn't phase her too much.

"What's that mean?" Magda had been glad there had been somebody stable in Jinny's life.

"It means he's out of town again." Jinny gave her a look.

"And what happens now? You gonna get a divorce?" At least then she wasn't the only one with a screwed up marriage anymore.

They walked back into the bullpen, passing CD, Nate and Raina who had found the little boy again, still alive. Jinny quickly looked over at CD. "I'm gonna ask CD about that later. She mentioned that her lawyer handled hers really great."

"I heard she paid the bill in his bed." Mag muttered and Jinny just rolled her eyes. She couldn't believe how hypocrite Magda was. As somebody who was cheating on her husband she really was the last one to criticize CD's or her relationships.

****************************************************

The acting Captain Spivey saw how Inspector Exstead and her partner, the one who actually helped him with the grid but whose name had slipped his mind right now walked in again. He figured her name was Lopez or Sanchez or something because she was Hispanic. But she wasn't the one who he needed to talk to right now. "Inspector Exstead? I have news." He walked out of what he already considered his office. "Ballistics came back from the gun recovered from the prisoners' escape. They got an IVAS hit, a match with another ongoing investigation. An officer involved shooting."

Jinny listened to him and somehow already knew what he was talking about. She hoped she was right, then they'd finally know who that bastard was.

"It's the same gun that killed your brother." He confirmed her suspicion. "It belonged to Ray Sanchez. I'm sorry."

"Are you okay Jin?" Magda asked her, having heard all of that too.

"More than okay." She nodded a little. "Now I know who killed John." She right away called Casey and her father to tell them the news, already knowing how her father was to react lateron much likely. And she was right about that too. When he came by her apartment, he wanted to go after Sanchez himself better now than later. But she managed to convince him that she would handle it.

In the next morning the day at work started like every morning lately: Spivey did his best to attain his position as acting Captain by acting up. It wasn't as if they really were giving a damn about what he had to say though. At last most of them couldn't care less. But suddenly their attention was undivided again as they saw their real Captain walk in. Immediately everybody started to smile at her, glad to see her. Everybody except Spivey who stared at her like a guppy for a second before he managed to force a small smile. "Kate."

She smiled back at them and was happy about the warm welcome she was receiving from her inspectors. But she was just there to get her mail and told Spivey so. He wasn't that fond of being confronted by her presence anyways so he gladly told her that unfortunately he had to go to a meeting soon.

"I can manage." Kate said and walked into her office.

"Uhh where was I?" Spivey wanted to continue and then started to talk about overtime when he saw how that blonde chick was getting up from her chair. All these women here really annoyed him. "What do you think you're doing?" He stared at her in disbelief.

"Getting up." She stated dryly as if that hadn't been obvious. She gave him a 'try and stop me' glare as she walked towards Kate's office.

He knew if he caused a commotion about that now she most likely would humiliate him and he didn't need that so he just continued.

CD rolled her eyes and then knocked on the door before entering Kate's office, smiling broadly.

"Hey" Kate turned around to see who had walked in.

"Hi." CD approached her and crossed her arms. "You don't know how good it is to look up from the bullpen and see you in here."

Kate enjoyed to hear that, feeling honored. She only had to look at Spivey once to know he was a complete loser. But she also knew her people and that even ten Spiveys wouldn't stop them from doing their job right. "You don't know how weird it is for me."

"Not bad. So you made your list yet?" CD sat down and Kate looked at her questioningly. "Pros-and-cons-going-back-to-work list. I know you too long." And somehow she already knew that soon Kate would be back for good again and not just for the mail.

"The list." Kate wasn't really surprised that CD knew her so well. They really knew each other for quite a while already and at least when it came to work she knew they were a lot alike. "It's about even at this point. Ya know, I just may not physically be able to handle this anymore."

Upon hearing that CD looked worried. On the one hand she was worried about Kate's health and on the other hand afraid not to have her back as their Captain.

"And then I'm probably never gonna make Chief." Even though she hadn't even really considered that option before her friend approacher with it at first, she had gotten so determined to make it. And even though she didn't want to risk her health over it she knew that if she got back to work the ambition to get where she almost had been would be there. "And then there's Louis. God he's been so patient with me, really. I feel like I owe him."

CD nodded understandingly even though she thought Kate shouldn't give up everything that meant so much to her just because Louis wanted her to.

"Then on the other side I'm a cop." Kate said and could feel the thrill again, just by saying it. It was in her blood and it always would be.

CD nodded and smiled, her eyes lighting up a little. Kate was one helluva cop and she knew that feeling herself. It wasn't just some job for them, it was their life and no one who didn't feel the same way about it would ever understand.

"That's what I do. I love my job." Kate was glad she finally could talk about this to somebody who she knew felt the same way about it.

"And your people love you and they need you." CD said. They all missed her and she knew with Spivey in that office their Division was going down the drain.

"I gotta get out of here." Kate said and started to walk towards the door again. "Before Louis puts a BOLO out on me."

CD smiled at her again and then followed her out, putting her hand on her shoulder.

Awwwwww, you know you are much more than a fan fic machine!! You just happen to write awesome fics..... will try to catch you online later

[CD DeLorenzo]

Raina introduced Liz to her and all of them talked about the case for a moment like they usually did. Kate gave them a very helpful tip before she left and they right away started to interview relatives of the escapees.

"Hey I'm just gonna go to the bathroom and then we can go talk to Gary's parents, okay?" CD asked Nate who nodded.

"Hey whatcha say? I could put a picture of that Bonsai up there and work some voodoo with all these little flags there, eh?" Nate smirked.

CD slightly shook her head and grinned at him. "Don't you dare!" She warned him. "...without me helping." She winked at him and he laughed as he watched her leave.

CD walked into the ladies' room and saw how Jinny was just washing her hands. "Hey." She smiled at her.

Jinny looked at her and decided now was as good a moment as any other. "Hey... you got a minute maybe?"

"Sure, what's up?" CD asked as she opened her locker.

Jinny sighed and walked up to her. "It's because..." She took a deep breath.

"Jin, what's wrong?" CD asked concerned now, knowing something was up.

Jinny sat down on the bench and CD sat down next to her. "I'm getting divorced." Jinny sighed again.

CD looked at her full of sympathy and put her hand on her shoulder. "Oh god Jin, I'm so sorry..."

"It's okay, really. I want it. It was a huge mistake to get married to him in the first place. It's just... I mean you've been through that all." She just hoped she wasn't bringing up painful memories for her.

"Yeah." CD nodded. "To be honest, at first I was devasted. But you have no idea how glad I am now. I thought I loved Paul. But the truth is I didn't even know what love is."

Jinny nodded. "I knew love but I thought I could substitute it with a guy who just seemed to be a lot like me." She admitted.

"You still love Teddy, don't you?" CD asked, not surprised about that at all.

"Seems like I gotta find another way of getting over him." Jinny said, some bitterness in her voice. If only she could turn back time.

"I'm so sorry Jin, but if there's anything I can do for you... anything at all, don't hesitate, I'm here for you." CD told her.

"Thanks CD. But right now all I need is a good divorce lawyer. I was wondering if you still have the number of yours, he was good, right?" She really didn't want to think about Teddy right now. She hoped that concentrating on the divorce would keep her mind off him.

"Brian? Yeah. He was a great lawyer. His number... wait." she got up again and rummaged through her locker, getting out a small address book and sat back down looking through that. "Brian Lewis, there you go." She wrote the number on a piece of paper and gave that to her. "You might not wanna mention you got his number from me though." She added.

Jinny took it from her and put it into her pocket, looking at her with raised eyebrow. "Why's that?"

"We didn't exactly end on good terms." CD put the address book back into her locker.

"What happened?" Jinny got up herself now.

CD slightly growled. "Okay, promise me not to tell this anybody else."

"My lips are sealed. I'm not Raina, right?" Jinny smiled.

CD nodded. "When we were on vacation together..." She paused.

"Yeah?" Jinny looked at her questioningly.

"I kinda called him another name somehow..." She got her scarf out of her locker and closed it again.

That stunned even Jinny. She hadn't expected that at all. "You mean in bed?"

"Yes." CD admitted. "And I swear if you tell that to anybody..."

"I won't!" She put her hands up and then grinned. "What'd you call him?"

CD just gave her a look and put her scarf around her neck and walked out again. Jinny laughed watching after her. "I bet it was Nate." She said to herself.

[planet_stella]

Yaayyyyyyyyy!!! This is great.you must post more!

[CD DeLorenzo]

heh, not much new here, but a great scene nevertheless

****************************************************

After CD returned she and Nate got their jackets and left to talk to Gary's parents. Even though the drive there took almost an hour they kept their discussion strictly proffessional, neither of them was quite ready to bring up the kiss again even though they both couldn't stop thinking about it. Once they were there his parents were very friendly. They took off their jackets and talked to them for quite a while. When they left again they had come to the conclusion that Gary's violent behavior was most likely caused by the large amount of video games, that he apparently was addicted to. On their way back they talked about that and how his childhood screwed him up which explained his psychotic tendencies.

"I mean I don't know really what it is, not all kids who had a horrible childhood turn into freaked out mass murderers." Nate said and looked over at her. She had told him enough about her own childhood so he knew that she didn't exactly have a blast herself. But still she turned her life around and made something great out of it because no matter what happened, she never gave up. That was just one of the many things that he adored so much about her.

She shrugged. "I guess a lot is because of the influences. If you grow up with bad stuff all around you and in addition to that you're hit with bad influences from all sides you'll never know anything else. But if you're lucky and you have just a couple of good influences and enough hope and ambition for your future it might be possible to find happiness at last, right?"

"Did you?" He asked hoping her answer was gonna be yes.

She gave him a small smile. "I like to think so. Every now and then." With that she pulled up at the station again.

He got out of the car and hoped she really was happy. Because that was the most important thing for him. There was nothing that he wouldn't sacrifice in order to make her happy.

When they got back to the others they briefed them about what they had found out. Jinny and Magda in return told them about their interviewing Ray and Frederico's sister and about the accusations she had made. Then they saw Spivey walk out of his office and all suddenly had somewhere very important to go so by the time he reached the bullpen it was nearly vacant.

CD and Nate had gotten on the elevator and drove down again. They got out in the lobby. "You know we never did have that talk." Nate spoke up and looked over to her.

CD looked back at him. "Let's grab some lunch." She said and walked outside and passed Raina but didn't pay much attention to the fact that she apparently had a new admirer.

They went to the little park at Alamo Square and now were sitting on top of a picnic table facing the popular Victorian houses with San Francisco's skyline in the background, which was a popular image for many postcards. But the reason why they were there was becaus they had neded a quiet place to talk. "It's weird, isn't it?" Nate was the first to speak up again.

"Yah." CD said, still feeling a little uncomfortable in her own skin but looked away from te houses and over to him now.

"I just had this conversation with you in my head about a million times and never actually saying it." But he was glad that finally they were talking.

"Say it." She was slightly scared. Mostly because she knew exactly what she wanted but at the same time knew damn well that she shouldn't want that.

Nate knew exactly what to say. Hed had been lying awake every night, thinking about it, thinking about her. "You know I'm closer to you than anyone on this planet. You realize that?"

CD just listened and looked at him. It felt so good to hear him say those words. She slightly nodded because it was the same way she felt about him.

He took a deep breath and continued. "I mean when something happens, anything, when it's raining or..." he thought for a moment "...not raining."

She broadly smiled at that and he smiled himself. "... you're the one I wanna call." He continued and again she nodded a little. "You're who I wanna share everything with." He looked at her intensely.

She nooded yet again and looked down because no matter how badly she longed to hear him say this and longed to just hold him, she knew what a risk it was. "Nate."

But he stopped her from saying something else. He knew wat was going through her head but didn't want to hear it. "Hey, and don't tell me all the reasons against it, that we're partners, that we're friends, that it's too risky. I don't care." He was fully aware of that himself, but he had made up his mind.

"You have to. We both do. I'm..." She slightly shook her head. "I'm scared to death." She admitted. "I'm scared of losing this, of losing our partnership." They'd be in trouble if anybody caught them and he was the closest friend and best partner she ever had. She never had anybody at all allowed to get so close to her but knew she needed him like that and she couldn't stand to lose him if it wouldn't work out between them.

"I think it's worth the risk." Nate had thought about it so much himself. But they were so perfect as partners and friends and he couldn't believe that it wouldn't work out between them. They would gain so much if they only allowed themselves to take this step.

She looked at him for a long moment and then turned aside, looking back at the houses again, but actually staring at nothing, her hands folded and resting her chin against them and shook her head.

Nate knew that she was upset now and that was the last thing he wanted but they really needed to talk about this. And he hoped she would stop to think about possible consequences and start to listen to her heart. "Hey." He wrapped his hands around her wrist and looked at her, so badly wanting to know what was going through her mind now.

"When I saw you with the gun to your head..." She paused and tried to get that image out of her mind again. Never in her life had she been so scared before. "... I thought for sure you were dead and I couldn't imagine my life without you." She looked back at him again and put her hands back down. She needed him so much and that scared her too.

He looked back at her, now understanding. He was glad she had told him and he didn't even want to imagine how he'd feel if he had to watch somebody wanting to kill her, the most precious thing in his life.

"I've had a lot of hurt in my life and..." She swallowed and looked down again. "...mostly because of..." It was still hard for her to bring that up, especially now. But she was glad that Nate knew what she meant and that she had been able to tell him. "... because of the men in it. And then..." She paused again and looked at him and started to smile. "You came along and I felt safe." That was one of the feelings she hadn't known before he had stepped into her life.

He was so glad to hear her admit that. Glad that he could make her feel safe.

"I know that you care about me." She looked aside for a moment before looking back at him and deep into his eyes. "And I care about you too." She started to smile again and that smile broadened even more as she spoke. "And I wake up in the morning so..." Again she looked aside for a moment, still unable to believe that because of him she finally knew the real feeling behind the word, "...happy," She turned her head again but looked down for another moment before looking back at him again with a big smile. "when I know I'm gonna see you. But I don't..."

As he heard that and saw her smiling so broadly Nate knew what she felt. He only had to look into her eyes to know that deep inside she wanted the same he did and he didn't want her to get doubts again. He leaned over and cut her off with a kiss.

At that moment she knew that he was right. They had so much to gain and she needed to allow herself to have that happiness in her life that she longed for so badly. She responded to the kiss, their lips lingering on each other before they deepened the kiss and wrapped their arms around each other, wanting to be as close to one another as possible and never wanting this moment to end. They couldn't get enough of each other and while they both had one arm still slung around the other one they started to caress each other's cheeks, needing to come up for air for a moment they pulled back slightly, their foreheads resting against each other. Nate opened his eyes for a moment, still not quite able to believe that this was true. That the one he loved felt the same for him. That CD really was his now. CD had similar thoughts and before they both realized it they had resumed kissing again, still wanting even more they continued to deepen the kiss, exploring each other's mouths hungrily.

Acting on impulse Nate lowered CD to the table and roamed his hands all over her as he laid down on top of her, not breaking the kiss though. CD caressed through his hair and slipped her other hand under his jacket, completely forgetting all about work because he made her feel so incredible. They had to pull back for air again and Nate kissed all along her jawline as she slightly started to nibble on his earlobe before their lips found each other again and their tongues started to dance together again.

"Hey get a room! This is a public park, you don't wanna get arrested there, huh?" The male voice in front of them made them pull back again and look up.

A man had walked up to the table and his dog was barking as he started to laugh at their puzzled faces. "Go home guys, really." He said and then walked away again, throwing a ball that the dog ran after right away.

CD and Nate looked at each other still stunned and then smiled and chuckled themselves. Nate got up again and held his hand out to her, helping her up too. She smiled at him and now standing they hugged each other tightly and couldn't resist to share another passionate kiss. Arm in arm they walked back to the car, both happy like they'd never been before.
