    Summary

    He lets out a small groan and she turns to see him slowly sitting up and rubbing at his eyes trying to rid them of sleep.

    She turns to him and offers a small smile, spatula in hand. ‘Morning.’

    JJ blinks at her a couple times, his hand comes up to run through his already tousled hair, his eyes focus onto her and Kie can’t quite figure out what makes his eyes slightly widen and his mouth fall when they do.

    ‘Holy shit,’ he breathes out.

    Her first thought is that he sounds shocked, the next is crap, did he not remember last night? He hadn’t seemed drunk, but she can’t be sure. Maybe she’s just created an insanely awkward situation where he hasn’t seen her in two years and all of a sudden he wakes up and she’s in his kitchen making breakfast.

    ‘You really are pregnant,’ he continues.

    ***
    After finding out she’s pregnant, for reasons even she doesn’t quite understand herself, Kie goes to JJ. Throughout the months of her pregnancy her and JJ fall into comfortable and entirely platonic domesticity that will in no way result in them falling in love.

    Summary

    “Aren’t you supposed to be professional?”

    He laughs. A deep from the gut laugh that sends her blood straight to a boil, “That’s rich coming from you.” He motions to her, his mouth overflowing with tortilla, “the one who burned the burrito.”

    —Or—

    When Kie has a small mishap at work, a certain firefighter who bails her out doesn’t start off on her good side.

    Summary

    It doesn’t happen because he’s thinking about her. Or John B, or Pope, or even Sarah. It happens because there is a turtle in the road, in the direct path of his truck. He swerves instinctively, and he sees the tree coming, headed straight for him. He means to swerve back onto the road, he really does, but his arms don’t seem to work, and his heart is frozen and empty, and he’s alone and he’s broke and—

    There are too many excuses to make before he collides with the tree. So he just closes his eyes and braces for impact.

    His vision turns white as the airbags explode. A whiff of gasoline. A flicker of flames—close, too close. And then everything is black.

    OR

    JJ racks up some serious medical debt, and naturally the only solution is to find El Dorado.
