Jemma's pov:

Michael and I have been home almost a month. 

It's so different now. We go out to dinner or the movies. We go shopping together. It's a huge relief to be able to be seen in public together. 

We've run into a few people from school but since I'm out of school they don't really question anything. Especially since they've seen me at school shadowing him and Jack.

I guess they just assume we're friends, since most are still under the impression that I dated Skip. 

Hell I think some of them still think it was Skip that I married. Not that I care, anyone that matters knows Michael is the only Jenkins I was ever or will ever be with.

Michael has had several 'meetings' since we've been back and has told me the gist of them all. He wasn't joking when he said the General was going to test him. 

He didn't seem worried about it though.

In fact, he's been kinda cocky but truthfully it's a big turn on. At least for me it is when he's the one being arrogant. Then again anything he does is a turn on for me.

He found out yesterday that he was indeed as kick ass as they thought he was. So the job is his and we'll be moving at the end of June. 

So we have a few weeks to settle in before he begins teaching on the base.

The renovations are just about complete at The Zone and the new club is being set up. We're still about 4 months from the grand opening but once I get up there I'll be overseeing the final touches. 

Pop's of course will be there for our big opening but he said he trusts me to be able to staff it and run it day to day. He's only a phone call away if I need him.

Tina is about 3 weeks from her due date. Skip still doesn't want to know what they're having but the rest of us all know she's having a boy. 

Enough time has passed that I don't feel that little tinge of jealousy about they're baby anymore.

I know one day Michael and I will have our own children but in the mean time we get to spoil our nephew and I've already volunteered for babysitting duty so Tina and Skip can have adult time.

 She's gonna stay with us for the next month then move into Skip's apartment in Copperas Cove. So the only one that will be missing from my immediate group will be Robby and I guess Jack too. Now that his secret and ours is all out, we've all gotten closer. 

Hell him and Robby were paired up in our bridal party.

Tina and Robby graduate in a little over a week.

 Today is May 4th also known as Senior Prom. 

Michael is one of the chaperons along with Jack. So Robby Pop has graciously decided I'll be his date. Our guys were all for that. This way I get to go and Robby doesn't have to be a third wheel to Tina and Skip.

I slipped on my heels and took a last look at myself in the mirror. I'd done my hair half up with cascading waves and kept my make up simple with smokey eyes and light lipstick. My dress was beautiful. Tina and I picked it up a couple of weeks ago but no one else has seen it. It's a dark silver satin a-line empire v-neck floor-length with a slit up to the middle of one thigh.

My favorite part is the back though. It's almost bare all the way down to the top of my butt, except two thin straps that cross the lower back. 

It's hella sexy and I'm looking forward to teasing Michael all night!

The door bell rang and I made my way down stairs to meet up with Jack and Robby. Jack picked Robby up and brought him here because him and Michael are going to ride to the school together while me, Robby, Tina and Skip all go out to eat. 

The guys obviously can't come with us since the chaperons have to be there before everyone else.

Michael was letting the guys in when I got to the bottom of the stairs. He smiled and I did a little twirl so they could see the back. Michael's eyes widened and his smile grew. 

"Stunning" He said walking over and dropping a kiss on my neck.

"Damn sweet cheeks you're looking sexy as hell! Rethinking the old ball and chain? If anyone can turn me straight it'd be you gorgeous." Robby pop said pulling me into a hug.

I kissed his cheek and laughed. "Nah I like my ball and chain. He's a keeper but if he gets hit by a bus or struck by lightning, I know where to look for my next husband." I joked back.

Michael rolled his eyes. "Seriously that's how you picture me going out? LAME. How about falling into a volcano saving a bus full of nuns or kids. Something tragically heroic. Besides I bet Jack would fight ya for Rob and I heard he has a bad ass right hook." He said slapping Jack on the back.

"Damn straight.... haha well obviously damn not straight!" Jack said kissing my cheek. "You do look beautiful though Jemma. Think you could save me a dance?" He asked before pulling Robby to the side to say their goodbyes.

Michael grabbed his camera and started clicking away. "You look beyond beautiful Love. Will you save me a dance or two?" He asked handing the camera to Jack so he could take a few of us.

I kissed his cheek. "I think I can manage that. You can have as many as you want."

After all the picture were taken we all walked outside. I laughed and Robby whooped. "You got us a limo? You really are spoiling me Sex-Nip."

He dropped a kiss on me and smiled. "Well even if I cant take you, I want you to have fun. Besides limos seem to be good luck for us. The first time I took you in one you agreed to marry me, the second time we got away with going to the masquerade together and then there was the limo in Vegas where you actually married me but my favorite was the one after our last wedding. Like I said, good luck. So gimme a kiss and get your sexy ass in there. Rob take care of my girl. See y'all later."

The first five minutes Robby was too involved with checking everything out and pushing any button he could reach to actually talk. So I bit my lip to keep quiet and took pictures to show our guys later. Finally the flash caught his attention and he groaned. "Erase that, I probably looked like a jack ass." He whined.

"No, you looked like a dumb ass!" I joked.

We pulled up to Joe's Crabshack and Tina and Skip were already at our table. I hugged Tina and Skip got up to give me a hug and kiss on the cheek. "Damn muffin butt you almost look as hot as Tina. Poor Mike. Haha I bet he's butt hurt he's gotta chaperon tonight, oh well sucks to be him."

We ate our food and relaxed for the next hour. Skip paid for everyone's meal and insisted we all ordered dessert because Tina wanted one but didn't want to be the only pork-er. We passed my camera around and all posed for pictures and then got the waitress to take a few of us all making goofy faces.

Tina and Skip rode separately because my poor sister from another mister gets tired easily. Plus if she goes into labor or something they can shag ass to the hospital without having to worry about us.

We've been here about an hour and already took our prom photos and danced a few times. I even danced with Jack and Skip. I've seen Michael but every time I look over at him he's talking to a group of students or teachers.

"I'm sorry you cant be here with Jack. " I whispered to Robby.

He shrugged. "I'm not worried about it. He'll figure out a way to steal a dance or two. I'm sorry you're stuck with me and that Michael couldn't be your date." He said pulling me into another dance.

"Even if I could have been his date I think it would have been weird for his students. Besides I couldn't let you miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to be my arm candy. I just couldn't do that to ya little buddy." I joked.

He rolled his eyes and then his smile turned extra cheesy when Psy's Gangnam Style came on.

"Hells yeah, you still remember the dance for this?" I asked psyched that I'd learned it from youtube and taught him.

He nodded and we got our gangnam style on. There were a quite a few others that knew it and everyone kind of circled around us all while we rocked out.

Michael stood at the front of the crowd and sent me a wink before he snapped a few pictures. The 15 or so of us that were dancing the song weren't completely in sync but we were definitely having a blast and laughing our asses off. We did the pose at the end and our spectators clapped.

Michael was right there with them and even whistled. Robby and I high fived and Michael walked up to us smiling and shaking his head. "Love, you always seem to steal the spotlight whenever you're somewhere."

I laughed. "I think you're just a little bias. There was a bunch of us out there."

Robby rolled his eyes. "Yeah and I bet Mike was really looking at everyone else. Hello he's got tunnel vision whenever you're around. Ahhh to be young and in love." He teased us dramatically throwing his hand on his heart and sighing longingly.

Michael laughed. "Riiiiight, like you don't act like that when Jack's around. I may have tunnel vision but I'm not blind. I saw those come hither looks you two were giving each other." Michael raised an eyebrow and bumped shoulders with Robby smiling because he blushed.

The song that had been playing ended and Lady Antebellum's Just a Kiss began to play. Michael asked Robby if he'd mind if he stole me for the dance.

We danced to the song and joked about when we'd sung it on the competition trip when I won my award.

"I think this should be our anthem. We both thought this could be what we were waiting for our whole lives and boom we were right." He said dipping me low.

I laughed. "Michael you think every song about love should be our anthem. Sex-Nip, I hate to break it to you but you my dear are a romantic." I said with fake seriousness.

"Only where you're concerned Sweetheart."

The song ended and I danced with Tina then with Skip and Tina, I danced with Sully which had me laughing when he good naturedly complained that he didn't get to dance with me at my wedding because Michael was too selfish to let anyone else dance with me. As that song ended Skip walked up with his mischievous smile in full bloom.

"Hey, Mr Erickson. Mind if I steal my sister in law away? I requested the next song for her. It holds really deep sentimental meaning to us." He said with complete seriousness that made me want to awe.

 Until the intro began to play. Then I face palmed which made Skip laugh even harder.

Sully groaned. "I truly worry about the family you and Tina married into." He muttered as he kissed my cheek and walked away shaking his head and laughing at Skips antics.

Skip pulled me into his arms. While Kesha's Mr. Watson played.

 I laughed and playfully slapped his shoulder. "You are such an idiot. You would request this song."

"Hey, you know ya love me. Muffin butt I couldn't resist, it's too bad it's about a history teacher and not calculus." He grumbled with a sad sigh that had me rolling my eyes.

He nodded his head over my shoulder and stuck his tongue out. I looked around to see Michael shaking his head and grinning. 

I winked and looked back at Skip. "It's been a long but definitely interesting school year. I'm so happy everything worked out."

He flipped Michael off and laughed when Michael gave him his stern teacher's frown.

"Yep and fun as hell. All thanks to you. Michael's back to the land of the living and if you'd shot him down I never would have met Tina. You are the best sister a man could have. Even better then Karen but don't tell her I said that. I wanna keep my balls." He said guiding me to the drinks table. Where Michael, Jack and Robby were.

He gave Michael a playful punch on the arm and kissed my cheek. "Can you three dweebs watch Muffin Butt? She might need a shoulder to lean on after all the sentimentality of the song." He whispered conspiratorially before going off to find Tina.

Robby laughed. "Yeah that was real deep. Imagine, lusting after your teacher." He said with fake seriousness.

Michael and Jack laughed. "Crazy I know, it's a good thing shit like that doesn't happen here!" Jack joked.

We hung out for a few minutes then Robby and I went off to dance again.

Tina and Skip came over to say they were going to go home because Tina's feet were swollen and Skip was gonna give her a foot rub. I danced a few more times with some of the people I used to hang with.

Halo came on and I found Michael in an instant. This song always makes me think of him. So I walked over and interrupted his chaperoning to ask my husband to dance.

I rested my head on his shoulder and sighed happily. "Jack and Rob snuck off a few minutes ago. Jack set up a little flowers and candles thing in his room so they could have at least a few dances tonight." Michael whispered.

I nodded. "That's sweet. Sometimes Jack reminds me of you. Especially when he's being all mushy with Robby. I'm happy for them and I hope they last. Jack's a great guy and he's good to Robby. He deserves unconditional love after the crap hand he's been dealt."

He ran his thumb over my cheek and kissed my forehead. "I hope they do too Sweetheart. But even if his parents are total douche bags, his lot in life wasn't all that bad. He's had unconditional love through it all from you and Tina. I bet that makes up for a lot."

The song changed to Motivation by Kelly Rowland and I pulled back. This song always leads to us getting touchy feely.

"Oh no you don't. This is definitely one of our songs." Michael purred pulling me in closer and groaning his appreciation quietly in my ear. "Damn have I told you how sexy you look in that dress?"

"No you said I looked beyond beautiful. I take it you noticed I'm not wearing a bra." I purred.

He nodded and his hands slid down and he tucked them into the two thin straps at my lower back.

"I love the back of this dress. But please don't tell me if you're not wearing panties. Because I wouldn't be able to keep myself from doing something stupid. Like sliding my hands two inches lower and enjoying what I wouldn't find." He pulled me closer and I pushed my pelvis into his hard on.

"We better behave, you're supposed to be supervising everyone." I sighed reluctantly putting a couple of inches between us.

He shrugged. "I'm supervising you. Here, you better get closer to me in case the top of your dress slides off. Those two little straps cant be that secure." He stated carelessly, pulling so I was flush against him.

His thumbs were rubbing against my skin in a motion that had me thinking about him rubbing his thumb against a different, lower, needy part of my body. I lost myself in the music, in dancing and feeling him against me.

Before I even realized it I was dancing with him like I had at the club that first time. I tangled my hands in his hair and pulled him into a fierce claiming kiss.

The song ended and we came up for air to see a stunned crowd around us.

 Michael kept his cool but I got annoyed.

"What? I'm not a student anymore so move along, nothing to see here. I'm sure at least a few of you have better things do then watch me kiss someone."

Michael pulled me back into his arms and dropped a kiss on my forehead. "Relax Love."

"Sir! What about your wife! Jemma you're married, how could you cheat. You should be ashamed!" Was shouted out from the back some where.

The shouts were getting more belligerent and explicit. I laughed it off and shrugged. What the hell do I care what they think.

Michael wasn't so blasé about it once they started saying degrading things about me. His muscles tensed and his jaw clenched.

"Jemma IS MY WIFE! So stop with all the home wrecking crap. Neither her nor I are cheating!" Michael thundered.

I squeezed his hand and whispered. "Calm down Michael."

"Show's over so everyone get back to enjoying your prom." Sully yelled stepping up beside me.

He lowered his voice. "You two should go ahead and go home. I'll see what damage control I can do. But I can almost guarantee the school board will want a meeting about this."
