Office Hour

She's on the phone with Donna...no, not Angel or Jake...actually Donna. Grissom got her to missing Vegas and she's arranging a little vacation...

"They? The Doctor tossed me in here. Didn't he toss you?"

"Geoff shoved me in. Said there was a..." she sighs heavily and rolls her eyes, "he said a student and a teacher had a little verbal altercation. Guess they're sick of us not talking."

"Oh," Jack said, unable to think of anything more intelligent. "How are you?"

[identity profile] prof-cregg.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
"I've been better. My student got attacked by demons, my classes don't talk..Oh! And my son had a run in with a vampire right by our home and he didn't bother to tell me. How are you, Jack?"

Jack groaned and dropped his head into his hand. "I'm gonna strangle Parker. Look, I wasn't really sure how to say, 'I'm sorry I'm an ass and oh, by the way, scary vampire chick just made my life pass before my eyes'."

"Jack...do you know how horrible it would be if she had killed you, or worse, made you a vampire, and the last thing we said to each other had been..." she takes a deep breath, hating she'd ever uttered those words. She steps forward and rubs his arm. "I'm sorry I overreacted."

[identity profile] anextimeagent.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
Jack pulls his knees in. "Overreacted? I don't see why you didn't just dump me over the side. I lied to you. And I could see how much I hurt you."

"Only because I built up such a story, Jack. I mean...I had you and Shane dressed alike on your first day of school...I had you in cub scouts and her in brownies...in my mind I had the Good Housekeeping, white picket fence model home and family. And then it got torn down and it hurt."

She sits next to him, and leans in close. "But you did the same thing, huh? Made it all up and it was nice. I don't think either of us wanted it to end."

Jack bent his head. "I did. I mean, don't get me wrong. Growing up wasn't bad. It was just..." He shrugged. "I liked the idea that you'd been there. That you remembered things like my first word, my first step. And then I screwed it up."

[identity profile] prof-cregg.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
She leans back and looks up at the faint light. "Your first word was mama. Shane's was bubba, which I thought meant brother. You never crawled, Jack. One day you just stood up against the table and took off. I could barely..." she stops and turns to look at him. "Not that I thought about any of this for hours and days at a time."

[identity profile] anextimeagent.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Jack drew a shuddering breath. "And now you hate me."

[identity profile] prof-cregg.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Sliding her arm around his shoulders, she pulls him to her. "If you think that, then I just didn't raise you right. I love you, sweetie. One little fight isn't going to change that. I mean, Jesus, if you could have seen how my dad and I fought when I was a teenager...this is nothing. Just normal. All in there with that gift with purchase." She rests her head against his and kisses his temple softly.

"I love you. Chip."

"But I made you angry," he said blankly. "You were mad at me."

[identity profile] prof-cregg.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
"And you're special why? I get angry at everybody. It doesn't mean I go around hating the whole world. Name one person I got angry with that I'm still angry with. Besides Drusilla. She doesn't count because that was way more than anger."

She kisses him again softly, "I was a wreck the very next day, Jack. I don't ever want to fight with you...but it happens. We're just human. Do you...I mean...do you hate me?"

[identity profile] anextimeagent.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
"No!" he said instantly. "No, no, no. I just..." He leaned into her. "I love you. And you're the only one who's ever loved me. And I don't understand how I didn't ruin that."

[identity profile] prof-cregg.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
"I can't be the only one Jack. I'm just the one who loves you the most and nothing will ever change that. Nothing. Not time. Not space. Not distance or death. And certainly not a fight about a lie my son told me."

[identity profile] anextimeagent.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Jack took her hand, lacing his fingers with hers. "I don't get you. You don't act like anyone I know."

[identity profile] prof-cregg.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
"God I hope not. I've met the people you know. They're all so...young."

She squeezes his hand and pulls it to her mouth to kiss.

"Besides, I think there's a rule about teenaged boys not getting their mothers. It might even be a law."

[identity profile] anextimeagent.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay. As long as it's a law. Because I like breaking the law." He grinned at her.

"You'd better not, kid. I'll only bail you out twice. Ever. Remember that." She tries to look so.very.serious.

[identity profile] anextimeagent.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay, so I've got two chances to be stupid enough to get caught." Jack continues to beam at her.

[identity profile] prof-cregg.livejournal.com 2006-01-20 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
She sighs dramatically, but smiles. "And only two. Ever."
