The Greens of Jericho

So Jake figured out that April is pregnant....

And - I really had to laugh at the thought that back in the old days before the bombs Heather roughed up Eric by accident when they had the football match! Ouch!

Oh no! Jeeez, you kill me - stopp interrupting Jake and Heather!!!!!

And I really feel sorry for April AND for Eric... T_T

You are writing again and the next chapter is close to be posted??? And I and my reviews were helping????

Yeeehah! Those are good news!!!!! *beams*

Well, if my reviews keep you going you can have a lot more of them!

And I know what you mean with life interfering more and more... have not written one word for a year now... *sigh*

Just no time to get my head free... :(

Well, that said I can't wait to read more from our favorite couple! :)

Have to go to work soon, but this Part A of the chapter I will read, now! ;)

huh... Emily...

You know, I didn't like her in the beginning of the show... but she was tough and safed Bonnie! Then she was so mean to Jake in the bunker... then it seemed she was a good friend for Heather, and I started really liking her!

She gave Heather kind of permission to try it with Jake... and even tried to give her the well-earned kudos for making the ice...

And then, suddenly, she started hitting on Jake, again!

I was like: Arrrgh! What is she doing????? She's betraying Heather's friendship!!! Did really my head in, then! *scowls*

And you picture that perfectly here... Ok, Em and Heather are no friends in DC... But Em seems to have turned round from being hurt (that Jake didn't ditch Heather somewhere in the past, that their bonding is working, that a baby is on the way) and angry at the couple to try to hit on Jake, again!

Jeeeez... so wanna smack her head despite of feeling somehow sorry for her...

Love it that you wake those controversal feelings in me! :)

Awwww! I knew he would confess that he loves her! So sweet! But I hate that this special moment was interrupted! Grmpf!

And is it wrong that I do wanna have one of those muffins right now? ;)

I like that Jeff and Michael are helping Jake getting the supplies...

Good chapter! :) *hugs*

Wow, you really put many thoughts in that election process, respect!

I still hate it that Gray won... *scowls*

But I love the Lisinskis, what a caring and loving and jolly clan they are! :)

Ah, the refugees arrived...

Love it that you mention that no one called Gray... *laughs*

Oh-oh... and now Heather and Jake are having a fight over that stupid party... *sigh* :(

LOL, that talk about Star Wars was hilarious! Loved it! :)

I'm - of course *g* - so glad that they made up...

Still strange that Heather will not be with them in Black Jack, but for the benefit of your wonderful story... and it makes - of course - sense... ;)

"I love you," he murmured a beat later. "And you," he added, his hands splayed across Heather's abdomen and the swell of their baby nestled within her. Jake kissed her then, his hands coming up to cup her face. The kiss started off slowly, lazily, but then grew more urgent. Jake dropped his hands, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close. Their kiss deepened as they both poured all of their love, all of their affection, all of their trust, and also, all of their fear into one another.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.... *sniffs silently, brushing a tear away*

:)

"Better them than us." You know, when I first watched the show I so could have smacked Gray for saying that! Little did I know how it would turn out in the end, what bad would happen because Jericho was able to get rid of Ravenwood... :(

That sentence still makes me shiver...

The whole "more than one" president thing made my hairs stand again... *goosebumps* - like it did, when I saw the ep... it is just horrible that above all of that Sh** they have to realize that a Civil War is looming - just because there are more than one who demand the power... :(

Jake is just cute, I loved all the little stories of stealing at Gracie's and how he tried to be grumpy with Eric and April.... *laughs*

Must have been a great show! And wow… there are so many meanings for the colours of roses… *snickers*

Black Jack is evil… I personally still think they just touched the top of all the rotting things going on there…:(

LOL - looks like Heather really is a lipgloss-addict! ;)

Ah, and that is how Baron came into their lives... ;)

Wow... just think of how Eric got April the house as a gift! Jeeez!

Time for a bit lovin in post-nuke-USA... goooood!

Ohhhh... I so hate this other truck! Despite knowing that there are presumably people in there who also are desperate for food an other essentials... I hate them!!!!!!

"""Stop," he commanded gently, moving to stand in front of her.  Jake reached for Heather's hand, extracting the puppy's lead and dropping it on the floor so he could lace their fingers together.  "I haven't had a shower in more like ... twenty hours," he decided, raising her hand to his mouth so he could press a kiss to her knuckles.  "Plus, I haven't brushed my teeth, either," he admitted with an exaggerated grimace that pulled another, not entirely serene giggle from Heather.  "And we both have slight cases of bed head," Jake continued, wrapping a lock of her hair around the index finger of his free hand.  "So basically - like your niece says - we match."""

So sweet!!! That made me squeal whilst reading! :)

And the proposal at the water tower was sweet, too! :)

Jeeez... the situation at the truck is so dire... everything's gone, it's freezing, Jake stuck, Stanley injured... *sighs*

Oh my.... :(

Yeah... I saw it like you described it... The story with the girl would have been Jake's last confession before he finally gave into the cold and his injuries... *shudders*

That special scene between Jake and his father... makes me cry... *sniffs*

And the scene in the past was so sunny and full of love and laughter, so... full of ease... the contrast to the future could hardly be starker... *shudders*

Well done!

Ha, I love it that the towns council still stands up against Gray... *snickers* ;)

And the Marines... *sigh*

I was really devastated after that ep... had my hopes flying high with them...

Ohhh - the scene in the plane was sweet!

And I wonder what Heathers brothers have planned for Jake... *snickers*

I like the idea of placing Michael instead of Jake with Maggie! And Michael seems smitten... poor guy will not like what he will learn, soon... :(

And Heather's family is just awesome... *laughs*

I love being able to stick my beak into those family moments! :)

And it looks like that Jake is at least winning Joe over... the girls he has already on his side... now we need to see what Heather's brothers have to say! ;)

*squeals* Yay!!!!!! :)

Since I saw yesterday that you have updated I couldn't wait to find time to read!!!!

Now, here I am and thanks so much for the special shout out - I feel so honoured!

Hopefuly your "Come back" will give me that much needed inspiration to come to my feet and do something, too... like at least posting finally my little stuff here even if my muse will not return for something new... *coughs*

Ok, now, I stop talking and start reading!!!! :)

"Ignoring what was going on around her, Maggie leaned over Michael, shaking him.  “Mike, c’mon, Mike.  Please wake up,” she begged quietly.
“You could always try kissin’ him.”  Maggie looked up and glared at Jake as he sauntered toward them, “I’m pretty sure he’d like that.”  Stopping at Michael’s feet, he tapped the bottom of his brother-in-law’s shoe with the toe of his own boot.  “Hey, c’mon, sleeping beauty, time to get up.”"

--> Yes Jake, that would be a good idea, Mike really would love it, I'm sure!!!! *snickers*

""Michael heaved a sigh, muttering, “Guess we all can’t have a truck fall on us.”

“That’s Jake for you, Mike,” Eric said, joining the other three.  “Always wins in the injury department,” he complained, offering Michael a hand.  The younger man hesitated a second – no doubt weighing his loyalty to April against accepting his assistance, Eric thought – but then he took it, letting Eric help him to his feet.

“Pretty much,” Jake agreed, “Except for that time Heather got you in the nose playing football.  You talked like Elmer Fudd for a week.”""

--> Hahaha, that really made me laugh... and yeah... not easy to beat Jake with the injuries, I swear! ;)

""Gray let out a humorless bark of laughter.  "Well, you know, like I used to tell Stevens, you know the deal's done when everybody feels a little bit screwed."""

--> Well, I don't like the deal!!!! Especially not after giving a firework AND feeding the little the town had left only to the fake Marines and the upper class! And that sentence sounds so like Gray... you nailed him here! At least like he was in the beginning... I always started to like Gray in the end, I think he came around... but in the beginning... shame on you! *scowls*

--> Hahahaha, of course Jake would have loved to play Twister with Heather... *wiggles eyebrows and laughs*

""Although her brothers were at least fifteen seconds behind Heather, they arrived in the living room – along with their father – in plenty of time to get a good show.  With the three Lisinski wives following behind, there was nearly a pile-up in the arch the separated the living and dining rooms when Michael, John and Andrew came to a very sudden stop, gaping at their sister and her fiancé.

"Ew, Dad!" Michael protested, "Aren't you going to make this stop?""

--> *giggles* I so can see that!

"""You went to the bathroom on New Year's, and my Mom and April both took the opportunity to smack me and tell me in no uncertain terms that I was to drop it," he informed Heather, squeezing her hand.  "I'm supposed to let you enjoy being a bride."""

--> LOL, and that, too!!!!

Awwww... that's so cute that the proposal story and that Heather giggled so much finally won the Lisinski-Men over and it seems they will accept Jake! Only one Lisinski left now, right? ;)

"""C'mon, Tommy," Andrew admonished, turning a bratwurst. ""

--> Jeeez - really - you call it "Bratwurst" in the USA, too????? That's so german! Made me laugh so much!!! Cool! ;)

And it looks like Andrew steps a bit in for Jake?????

""He'd thought about it for a moment before pulling her close, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing the tip of her nose.  "Deal," he'd sighed softly, offering her a lopsided grin.  "Long as you're there with me, having three kids probably won't kill me."""

--> so cute!!!!! :)

"""We're not having pizza, and I don't think you're gonna really like beer until they make it coffee flavored."""

--> ok, that sounds interesting, I think then I maybe could start liking a beer, too!

“”Jake pulled the door open and looked in at them.  "Hey.  We need our last marine so we can get this show on the road."

Maggie wouldn't look at Michael.  "That's my cue," she sighed.””

--> oh no…. really… despite I didn’t like Jake kissing her in the show I always liked Maggie… and I didn’t like that she had to leave town with the others… And now for sure I don’t like her going – she would be so nice for Mike!

“”  "But I do like you," she said attempting a smile and failing miserably.  "It wouldn't work, not after the story we told.  And not with story you're all plannin' to tell."””

--> yeah… how shall that work? *sigh*

Ohhhhh – another part will come up! Love it!!!! *beams*

Thanks so much for writing again… loved every word of it!!!!

And now you get a load of hugs & kisses from Germany… xxx ooo :)
