Another Promise Let Down

Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Tina's characters
Spoilers:
Pairing: Jack/Liz, Jack/Avery
Summary: "And I got to thinking, that should be me."
(Follow-up to "Wrong in A Good Way"!)

"And I got to thinking, that should be me. But that was ages ago," Liz said, as she was talking to her shrink.
"Well, Liz--" the shrink began to say.
"So should I continue to sleep with him or no? I mean, what if Avery finds out?"
"Well--"
"But she won't know if he pretends he's gonna go to one of his kids' event! So what should I do?"
"If it's healthy for you, then yes."
Liz looked relieved.
"Really?"
"Um, yes."
"Thanks Doctor...couldn't have done it without you."
After Liz left, Jack was calling her. She didn't hear her phone ringing, so it went to voicemail.
"Lizzie, it's me. Call me!" 
Jack got out of the bathroom and opened the door. Standing in front of him was five year old Abbie.
"What were you doing in there?"
"I was using the bathroom."
"Why did I hear the shower door close?"
"What, do you have x-ray hearing?"
Abbie nodded.
Avery walked through the halls.
"Mom! Jack took a shower with his clothes on!" 
Avery stood there, with a confused face.
"Yo! You gonna help?"
"Yo, are you?"
"Yeah, sure."
At about seven o'clock, Jack stood up from his bed.
"Why are you taking your phone to the bathroom?" Avery asked.
"I wasn't meaning to."
"Put her to bed, will you?"
Jack carried Abbie to her bed. He was about to get up when Abbie put his hand on her chest. Jack stayed.
Meanwhile, Liz was wearing her new dress. She'd been waiting for two hours. 
She sighed and put the cake that she baked in a container and turned the light off. 
Another promise let go, she thought.
