Jemma's Pov:

"No Mike, you're using the damn crutch and that's the end of it!" I growled at my stubborn ass husband.

We have to be at school in 20 minutes and he's arguing about not using his crutches at school.

"Love, stop worrying, I'll be fine. I'll just hobble around or have my favorite aide do all my fetching." He sent me a dazzling smile.

"Not gonna work buddy boy. You are using these crutches or I swear you wont get any for a month!"

He narrowed his eyes "You wouldn't..."

"Bet your cute crippled ass I'd hold out"

"Fine, but just so you know that is playing dirty" He whined petulantly rolling his eyes at me.

I laughed at his grumpy face as he grabbed the crutches from me. "Yeah, yeah, cry me a river, build a bridge and then get over it. It's for your own good babe."

He glowered at me playfully. "Fine but you know if I'm holding my crutches how in the world will I take a leak? Guess my aide will have to help me with the zipper and since you're already down there..."

"Oh hush pervo. No naughty nurse fantasies until school is over." I gave him a quick kiss and grabbed our school things.

Michael headed straight for his class even though the bell doesn't ring for about 10 minutes. 

It'll take him that long to get there and get situated. Tina rode with us and we waited at our lockers for Robby Pop.

"Dude, how was Arkansas Bub?" Tina asked as he walked over to us.

He got a horrified look on his face then glanced around quickly. "I'm pretty sure I've mentioned at least a million times not to say anything about me having family from there. Ughhh if word gets out, people with think I'm an inbred hillbilly." He hissed still watching that no one was near enough to hear.

We giggled and caught up for a few minutes. I noticed that he keep shooting me weird looks and that amazingly enough hasn't said one word about either of our pregnancies.

"Tina filled you in on what happened didn't she?" I guessed aloud.

He nodded and gave me a sympathetic smile. "I'm so sorry Jems."

He pulled me into a gentle hug and I'm ashamed to admit, that my eyes misted a little.

I pulled back and playfully swatted his arm. "I'm sad but I'll deal. I think it would have been worse if I'd been further along. Have you seen Michael yet?"

He shook his head and I smiled. "Well since you two have a bromance going on, maybe you should be saving your hugs for him. He's jacked up something severe! And that stubborn ass was trying to pull the whole macho man, me Tarzan crap and not use his crutches! Ughh men! I had to threaten to ground him to get him to see reason."

Tina and I giggled and Robby looked confused. "Ground him from what?.....OOOOHH that's just plain mean! Haven't you heard of blue balls? I'm pretty sure that's like a real thing."

The bell rang and I headed to my first class with Michael. He was standing at the board writing and I rolled my eyes. I walked up to him and faced the board so no one could see what I was saying.

"Ughh do you have to be so damn pig headed. The doctors said to stay off your leg and that if you had to be up to use your god damn crutches." I hissed with my hands on my hips ready to pop him up side his stubborn thick skull.

He chuckled and turned to face me.

"That is so not what he said. I think I'd have issues if he was unprofessional enough to use profanity with a patient."

I rolled my eyes at him and held my hand out for the chalk. He dropped it into my palm and I pointed a finger at his chair.

"You sit your butt down and talk, I'll write and if you need to get up either use the crutches or have me do it."

He raised his eyebrow at my tone and I shot a glance around to see that several of the students were already here and eyeing him.

"Sir" I added on the end in a smartassy tone. He sent me a covert wink then hobbled to his desk.

"Settle down guys, I hope you all had a great vacation. As you can see I'm a little banged up so Jemma will be assisting me more then usual."

He started class and at the end gave everyone a few minutes free time.

 That's when the questions came flying and my irritation level raised even higher.

The guys weren't bad just curious about what happened and of course Michael has his rule about answering personal questions. So his answer was that he had a little accident.

The guys dropped it but the girls kept fluttering on about how he must be in pain and they bet he was doing something heroic and a few particularly brazen skanks offered to be his nurse.

I tried containing my temper but in the end I could feel nasty words trying to claw their way out of my mouth. 

Michael grabbed my hand under the table and rubbed soothing circles on my palm. He cleared his throat and got every ones attention.

"Thanks for all your concern but I'm fine. No I wont be telling you the details of what happened because frankly it's none of your business. I'm your teacher, not your friend. As for the few of you that thought that maybe I was on pain meds and would actually be loopy enough to appreciate your inappropriate offers. Let me assure you that I don't nor would my fiancé. Who is taking care of me very well by the way. So keep it school appropriate guys."

The bell rang and I stayed where I was glaring at the departing class. It was crap like those hussies that made me want to stay.

"Love, if you squeeze my hand any tighter you'll break my fingers and I really don't want yet another cast."

I looked down. 

Oops. 

I sighed heavily and sat back releasing my death grip on his hand.

"I really don't like that." I grumbled crossing my arms and glaring at the now empty doorway.

He chuckled and I turned my glare to him. He patted my head and the humor in his face intensified as I swatted his hand away.

"I'm not Scruffy so don't pet me like a damn dog Michael." I growled. 

He doubled over laughing and I growled again.

I grabbed my bag and headed to the door. "Babe, come on I was just playing. You're just so adorable when you're all jealous and mad." He chuckled again and I flipped him off.

I went into my next class and was so not in the mood for all the gossip. But of course all anyone could talk about was Michael.

"I heard he was hit by a car saving a little old lady that was crossing the street with her grand kid." said some chick behind me.

"No, I heard he was rock climbing up a mountain and his fiancé caused him to fall. That's how he got the broken leg and arm." Said her friend.

"You chicks need to get over it, who cares. Besides I heard he doesn't even have a fiancé, cause he's gay" Said some guy a few seats down.

"He is so not gay, haven't you seen the way he flirts with me" said a voice I recognized from first period.

 It was one of the sluts that flirted with him.

I slammed my hand on the desk and stood up facing them. "You four need to get a life! He isn't gay, he does in fact have a fiancé that he loves very much and hello where the hell would he be climbing a mountain in Texas. Do you see any damn mountains around here? That's not how his accident happened and for the love of everything that is holy he did not flirt with your trampy ass! Get over yourselves, get a life and stop gossiping like any of your opinions matter because they don't and frankly we're all tired of hearing your voices."

The class was silent then a few people started laughing. Heather, the skank that was flirting with Mike glared at me.

She flipped her hair and rolled her eyes. "Oh please. You get over yourself. Just because you and your girlfriend are doing some kind of freaky three way crap with Teach's brother doesn't give you the right to act all superior. You're sitting here talking about him just like we are."

I felt my blood pressure rise. Bitch...

"You have no Idea what you're talking about and because of that I'll let it slide this time. Be warned though. Bad mouth Tina, Skip, Mr. Jenkins or his fiancé again and I'll make sure everyone knows about what happened in Cabo."

Her eyes widened and I smirk, Yeah bitch I gotcha.

 I sat back down and zoned out for the rest of the lesson.

Next period passed by in a blur thanks to my phone's google music playlist. I thought it was better for me to not be able to hear anymore Michael related gossip.

Michael sent me a few texts. I'm not really mad at him. I was mad because Ughh he's like a skank magnet and then he thinks it's funny to irritate me when I was already pissed.

I rolled my eyes at myself.

 It's not like he can help that he's hot and at least he doesn't flirt back. 

The bell rang and I went to lunch. I'm supposed to go to a student council meeting but whatever. I'm only gonna be here for a few weeks so they need to elect someone else anyway.

I sat quietly until Tina propped her feet up on my lap. "What the hell baby cakes?" I whined.

She rolled her eyes. "You seriously need to get laid. You're all wound up and tense. I guess I'll need to talk to my future brother in law and lecture him on doing his husbandly duties."

My mouth dropped open and Robby Pop joined in teasing me. "I woulda thought after everything, he would been on your ass like white on rice. Damn, I guess the saying is true. Once you get married the sex stops."

I jumped up and glared at my to best friends and flipped them off.

 Assholes. 

"You two can suck it! I'm not tense from lack of sex. Michael fucks me very well and very often!"

I heard a throat clear behind me and groaned because I didn't even have to turn around to know who it was. 

I slanted a look at Tina and Robby and of course they were laughing their asses off. Idiots...

"As interesting as that is Miss James, You have lunch detention with me for the next two weeks. That kind of language isn't tolerated and I expect better from you." His voice strained and I looked into his eyes and sure enough the jerk face was barely holding his laughter in. Idiot...

"Ugh, why are you even here? You're supposed to stay off your leg you fidiot!" I snapped putting my hands on my hips ready to remind him yet again about what his doctor said.

He laughed this time. "I'm not in the habit of answering students." He drawled with a arrogant smirk.

I narrowed my eyes and gave serious thought to smacking him upside the head and screaming to everyone that I wasn't just his student. 

I was his flippin wife!

He must have seen how annoyed I was because he bit his lip and continued. "But since you're so worried about me. I was planning on staying off my leg but my student council treasurer was slacking on the job and decided to be a no show. So I came to get her. Oh and by the way, I know what fidiot means thanks to Tina. So that'll be after school detentions for the rest of the week as well."

"Uhh that's a little extreme don't you think? It's not like I actually called you a fu-"

He laughed again as Tina cut in. "Fun teacher! Yep that's what Jems was gonna say. You're a fun teacher and you make calculus a joy to learn." She cooed giving her best 'miss innocent' smile.

"Nice save" Robby chirped high fiving Tina.

Michael winked "See you kids in class."

I glared at the three of them. "You guys suck!"

I grabbed my bag and headed to the bathroom. We still had 20 minutes left before lunch was over.

I fixed my make up and my phone buzzed. I popped open the text from Michael.

 Please come to my room. I fell and cant get up. xxxMike

All my annoyance at him faded and I literally ran to his room. I burst through the door. "Michael are you alright?" I panted.

He walked in from his office and raised his hands up in surrender. "Okay so I lied. I didn't really fall but we needed to talk before class starts and you're mad and stubborn so I thought it was the only way to get you here." He flashed me his lopsided grin.

I walked stiffly to his desk and sat down on top of it. I crossed my arms over my chest and narrowed my eyes at him. "So you thought that by scaring me that you were hurt worse I'd stop being irritated at your childish behavior?"

He rubbed the back of his neck and hobbled over to his chair. He sat down and rested his casted hand on my thigh.

"I was a pain in the ass today and I'm sorry." He mumbled as he laced his fingers through mine.

I studied him and he looked honest. "So why were you trying to annoy the hell out of me?"

He laughed at my pout but cut it off when I huffed.

"Okay so it was for a few reasons. 1. you really are sexy as hell when you're pissed. It was either aggravate you or do a repeat of the night of the dance and since I couldn't exactly do that I chose the former. 2. I really did go looking for you at lunch and come on, that was about the most hilarious thing I could walk up on. You were literally screaming to the whole cafeteria that I'm a great lay. Since I couldn't tease you about the sexual stuff because the rules. I teased you about other stuff. Lastly and most importantly, I heard you lost your temper earlier with a few students. I figured if you were busy arguing with me, you'd stay out of trouble. So you have all lunch detentions and after school detentions with me. That way you cant go to another teacher's if you did get in trouble."

He rested his head on my lap and I ran my fingers through his hair. He sighed happily then looked back up at me. "Mostly though, now that your last couple of weeks are here, I'm a little bummed. Don't get me wrong, I love that in a few weeks we can be just Mike and Jems but at the same time, school is gonna suck without you. So I'm making the most of the days we have left. Pestering my very favorite student."

I thumped his head. "I get where you're coming from but how about you stop picking on me. You know I could totally kick your ass now that you're handicapped." I teased patting his head in mock sympathy.

He rolled his eyes. "That's my blood thirsty wife. Of course you could take me down. Then again I like it when you're on top." He cooed pulling me down on top of him.

He kissed me slowly and I squirmed on his lap feeling just how much he liked it when I was on top.

"Mmm we better stop, the door isn't locked and I keep getting flashbacks of the ways we could put this chair and desk to better use." He growled while I sucked on his sweet spot.

The bell rang and I jumped off and landed flat on my ass.

I looked up and he was biting his lip. "If you laugh I swear to god, I'll bite you." I huffed

"Oh baby, I love it when you talk dirty to me" He teased helping me up and rubbing my butt.

I swatted his hand away. "Michael Jenkins you better stop perving on my ass during school hours."

He laughed. "I wasn't perving, I was checking for injuries. Scouts honors" He did what was supposed to be a boy scout solute.

I snorted. "You were never a boy scout so hush. Plus checking for injuries doesn't include squeezing." I whispered because people were coming in and taking their seats.

He leaned back laughing quietly and sent me a smirk. "I was just being thorough, wouldn't want my wife having a hurt tooshie. But if it does hurt, I could always kiss it and make it better." He whispered.

The tardy bell rang saving me from making a totally inappropriate reply about how much I'd like that.

The class was nosily talking and Michael called it to order. "Welcome back everyone. We have a change to the class dynamics. Jems is now the T.A for this class."

Hands were raised and he rolled his eyes. "Let me guess, y'all wanna know everything before we can get down to actually doing the work?"

My class laughed and Tina and Robby shot me sly grins then joined the others raising their hands.

Michael leaned back on the desk and waved me forward. "I'll explain and then if you still have questions Jems can answer them for herself."

Tina and Robby grinned even wider. Oh hell they're gonna say something to embarrass me.

"So last semester Jems was given the option to take two test and graduate early. She took the test and my class was one of them. So in two weeks she'll officially no longer be a student here. Instead of rearranging her schedule she's just gonna be my TA. Any questions." Hands shot back up and Michael waved them on.

"So you're like really leaving?" John asked.

"Yeah I have way more then enough credits to graduate."

"But what about prom and graduation ceremony? Do you get to walk with us?"

Michael answered that. "The principal has said that if she chooses she can do the graduation walk, she can go to prom but only as someone's date because technically she wont be a student here."

He slid a glance to me then called on Tina.

"Does this have anything to do with you getting married and buying that bad ass house? Oh and is your husband okay with you skipping the last semester and ditching your preggo BFF? Cause if he is, he totally sucks."

Michael stifled his laugh and I rolled my eyes as people began whispering about the new information.

"No the house was a gift. I didn't even know about it until after Mike bought it. As a matter of fact he's extremely happy about me graduating early and thinks it's the best decision I ever made to ditch your fluffy ass. He thinks you're a bad influence and I should minimize the amount of contact I have with you. Sorry Baby Cakes but, we're over."

Michael and Robby laughed like idiots and Tina faked a dramatic sob while the rest of the class looked shocked. Michael sobered and called on Robby.

"I agree with Tina, Mike totally sucks! He's not nearly as awesome as me. Plus I'm way hotter then he is. Besides once you're gone who am I gonna drool all over sweet cheeks?"

Michael cleared his throat. "Keep it appropriate Rob."

Robby pop sent him his best good boy look and then winked and smiled a mischievous smirk.

"I'm just sayin you could always ditch the jerk and get with your boy right here. I could do things to you and put you in acrobatic positions that he cant! Especially now that he has the-" I cut him off and his smile got so big I thought it would split his cheeks.

"Shut up dork. I already told you at lunch that Michael fuc-"

Michael's hand shot out and softly covered my mouth and I realized what I was about to say. Oops, man I really need to get in control of my big mouth. 

I licked his hand and he snatched it away laughing quietly.

"Okay I think that is more then enough about Jems business. Especially since some of you cant keep it G rated. Jems please don't finish that sentence. I'd hate for you to have more detentions then you have time for."

A few hands remained raised and Michael sighed, "Go ahead."

All at once the handful of remaining people fired their questions at him. I sat on his desk next to him and slyly touched our pinkies together. Showing I was supporting him and wouldn't lose my temper like I did earlier when the hoochies flirted with him. 

The rumors were even worse then what I heard earlier and some were very mean spirited about his fiancé.

He cleared his throat and shot a nasty look to them. "I wasn't going to answer any questions about my accident but it's clear some of the student body have very warped minds. None of that is even remotely true. I'll tell you what happened but just because I'm tired of hearing this crap and frankly it's beyond pissing me off."

He covertly wrapped his pinkie around mine and continued. "What happened wasn't some story to be passed around for entertainment. My fiancé had an accident and ended up in the hospital. I got the phone call around 4 in the morning and rushed out to be with her. All I could think about was getting to the woman I love to help her while she was going through a terrible ordeal. My truck was hit by a drunk driver and I died."

Gasps of shock went out from almost everyone. I looked at Tina through blurry eyes and she had tears in her eyes too. I didn't risk looking around because I was afraid of what they'd see in me.

"My brother and his fiancé saved my life. I woke up a little over a week later from a coma. My fiancé was by my side. She'd been discharged a few days after it happened but stayed with me the whole time. From what I heard she even set a few unruly nurses in their places and put my brother in check. So yeah, that's how we spent Christmas break." A few weak laughs sounded and I looked up to see that almost everyone had misty eyes.

"Sir are you okay?"

Michael cocked his head to the side and thought for a moment. "Yeah, I am. More then okay, I'm lucky as hell to have her. She's an amazing person and I'd lose it if something ever happened to her."

"Is your fiancé okay? What happened that she ended up in the hospital?"

Michael looked at me and smiled sadly. "She had a miscarriage. But she okay and as harsh as it sounds, that's all that matters."

"Enough of my depressing holiday, lets crack them books and get some learning done!" He cheered with fake enthusiasm.
