Pairing: Jack/Liz mention of Jack/Avery, mention of Carol/Liz
Summary: Jack calls Liz to his office to talk about Avery, but it leads to something else...

Liz walked into Jack's office.
"You wanted to see me?"
"Sit down, Lemon."
"So, what's up?"
"Lemon, I think I'm not going to marry Avery anymore."
Liz's face was blank. For the first time in  her friendship with Jack, she actually liked this idea, but of course she couldn't tell Jack that. She knew he loved Avery and called her his "future wife" every single day Liz and him could talk.
"Why?" is all she could say.
"Have you seen her lately? For someone who's 6 months pregnant, she's not showing at all. And she told me she wanted to get married in a French speaking country. French, Lemon. She actually thinks she can speak better French than me."
Jack started talking gibberish which Liz figured is French to him so she applauded sarcastically. 
"And you know what else, Lemon? My sex life with her is repulsive. It's not for pleasure anymore. It's like a schedule, so the baby can be delivered properly. She's not the Avery I knew. She's this--"
"Psycho control freak? Like Bianca?"
"You're not saying that I could have possibly be marrying--"
Liz cuts him off again.
"Yes, you could've possibly married another Bianca. And I'm glad you talked to me first, Jack. Because guess what I found out."
Liz held up a paper.
"I asked the doctor. She took a blood sample from her. And guess who it was?"
"Lemon, I don't have time for guessing games. Just tell me."
"Carol."
Jack's eyes widened. Liz nodded and gave a doubtful smile.
"But aren't you two still together?"
"No. Carol and I broke up about two weeks ago. I didn't want to tell you because you were too busy with Avery and the wedding and the--"
Jack interrupted Liz by kissing her. Softly, gently, because he knew Liz would be surprised. After he let go, Liz had a shy smile.
"What was that for, Jack?"
"Er, um, it was a friend kiss."
"A French kiss?"
"FRIEND. F-R-I-E-N-D."
"Okay, I know how to spell."
Liz looked at him with her judgmental badger face.
"You know I love badgers," Jack said with that raspy voice of his. He had a dirty grin on his face.
"Please tell me you're not gonna tape this for the sake of your mother."
"Lemon, I have no intention of recording anything right now except what memory I'll plant into your head."
"Whoa, Jacky, let's not go too fast here, buddy."
"What are you talking about, Lizzy?"
Jack continued to move closer to her as she continued to back away sone more until she was at the edge of the loveseat.
"Oh, what the heck."
------
"Oh my god. That was...wow."
"Couldn't have said it any better, Lizzie."
"Will you stop calling me that?"
"Would you like me to call you Lemon?"
"No. Lizzie is fine. I don't like you calling me Lemon when you're, you know, under me."
"You don't taste like Lemon at all. You taste like cinnamon. Cinnamon that's been--"
"Okay, Jack. I get it."
In the muffled distance, someone was knocking.
"Jack?"
"Oh, God. Liz, it's Avery. Hide. Get your clothes. Take a shower. GO!!!"
Liz took her clothes and ran into Jack's restroom."
Jack quickly got dressed and opened the door.
"Hi, Avery."
"Jack, your hair and your tie."
Jack's hair was a mess and his tie was not tied.
"I fell asleep, Avery."
Avery rolled her eyes. 
"Whatever, I gotta pee. This baby's kicking my stomach off."
Jack ran to Avery but it was too late. She closed the door.
----
When Avery was at the restroom, she heard the shower running. And someone singing. She flushed the toilet. A scream was heard. Jack came in the restroom and Avery was mad. She slid the shower door and saw Liz in her towel. 
"You cheated on me?! With her?"
She tried to run but Avery stopped her. She was standing beside Jack, with her hair dripping wet. 
"I cannot believe you, Jack Donaghy. After 6 months. I knew something was going on with you two on Valentine's Day. She's a whore, Jack. Why her?"
"Whoa, Avery. Liz Lemon is not a whore. Look who's talking. Liz Lemon is wonderful. She's gorgeous. In her own ways. You may not see that, but I do. And if you're just gonna be like this, then I can't do this. And I know that baby isn't mine. It's Carol's. So, have a swell life!"
Avery took the ring off her finger.
"Okay, fine then! It's over! I'm gonna take this stupid ring that only cost 500 grand and throw it away! But you won't care, because you'll be with your bitch!"
Liz couldn't take it anymore. She pushed her all the way to the outside of his office and said "He's mine now. And will always will be." and closed the door on her.
Liz sat on Jack's couch and started to cry. Jack sat beside her, patting her back.
"Lemon, why are you crying?"
"The ring. We paid for that."
"You paid a dollar, Lemon."
"Yeah, but the only reason I gave in is because I loved that ring. And now it's gone."
"Liz, Liz, Liz. There's plenty of gorgeous rings out there but whatever ring you like, it'll look beautiful because you are beautiful."
Liz looked up.
"Really? You mean that?"
"Yes. I do."
Liz laughed and started drying her hair. She didn't have any other clothes and her clothes were covered in food stains so she got one of Jack's dress shirts and got her pair of old jeans that somehow made it in Jack's office. She put them in the drier and when she took them out, it was skinny. She wore it anyway and Jack's eyes widened. 
"Is it too...?"
"No, Lemon. That's what you should wear for work. It's highly arousing."
"Come here, you."
They started kissing until Jenna walks in the office. Liz's shirt was halfway unbuttoned and Jack's also. 
"Hey Jack, do you happen to know where Liz is...oh."
"Oh, um, Jenna, Liz was just about to leave."
"No, no. Continue with...yeah." 
Jenna ran straight out of the room and got to Jonathan's desk and called the writer's table and she said "Put this on speaker." and when they did that she yelled "Jack and Liz are doing it!" Even with her phone not on speaker, you could hear screams and clapping from the writers. 
Liz rolled her eyes and said
"Oh, brother."
