Midnight Plane to L.A.

Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Not mine...
Spoiler: None
Pairing: Jack/Liz
Summary: Jack gets relocated. To L.A. Liz doesn't know how to feel about this.

"Hey. You're home early," Liz said, as she saw Jack walk in the door at 7. 
"There wasn't much to do today. Can I tell you something?" he asked.
"Um...yeah, what is it?"
"I think you should sit down."
Liz sat down, looking nervous. Damn it, she knew this wouldn't work! Tears began forming in her eyes, but she decided to stay strong for what ever he'd say. Perhaps what she was thinking was not what he was going to say at all.
Jack held her hand.
"Geiss relocated me," he said sadly.
Liz gasped.
"Where?"
"Los Angeles."
"Wha--Why?"
"He said that GE was flourishing here. But...he felt like it needed to take a break. So he's making Banks the new executive and relocating me to the GE building in LA...as VP."
Liz didn't know whether to be happy or devastated right now, so she just stayed silent.
"Liz," Jack started. "It's final. Even if I begged him to let me stay, it wouldn't do any good. It's really your decision now."
"H-h-h-how is it my decision?" she asked, her voice breaking.
"Well, you can choose to stay here and continue our relationship long-distance...or we can end it now and remain friends...or you can move to LA with me and continue our relationship there. It's your decision."
"Um. I need time to think," Liz said.
"I understand. Well, I'll be waiting. Where are you going to think?"
"I'm sure you'll be able to figure that out. I'll see you when you do," Liz said, smiling.

"Liz?" 
Jenna looked confused. Liz never goes to her apartment unless something's up.
"Hey," was all Liz said when Jenna let her in.
"What's the matter?"
Liz sighed.
"Okay. So it's about Jack--"
"Oh, hang on."
Jenna grabbed her phone from the table.
"Why are you getting your phone?" Liz asked.
Jenna showed her a text from Jack.
"Lemon is there. Tell her I love her," was the text Jack sent to Jenna a few minutes ago.
"Go with him."
"But what about you guys?"
Jenna smiled.
"Liz, I'm glad you care for us and everything, but you don't need to babysit us anymore. If it'll make you happy, the cast and crew of TGS will go to LA next hiatus."
Liz hugged Jenna and began to cry.
"I just don't want him to leave me, you know?"
"Look, I may not have dated Jack, but I do know that he's dated a lot of women. But you're better than all those women. You wanna know why? It's because you care for him. You've known him for the past six years. Jack may not be the nicest guy on the planet, but I do know that he can he a forever-sort-of-guy."
Liz sniffled.
"Thanks, Jenna. Can I stay here? I told Jack I wouldn't be coming back to the apartment until tomorrow morning."
"Um...yeah, sure. Make yourself at home. If you see anything that looks like tanning oil in the bathroom, don't use it...cuz it's not!"
Liz gave her a disgusted look.
"What? It's for emergencies!" Jenna explained.
"And the old Jenna's back."
After Liz got herself ready to go to bed, she used Jenna's laptop to go on Facebook. Hey, it's been six months since she was last there and all she posts about is food anyway. Jack, on the other hand, is always online. He even downloaded a Facebook app. What is he, twelve? She logged in and noticed that Jack was online. She decided to ignore that fact. 
"Chocolate-chip cookies and milk are given to me now, since I'll kick Santa's ass if he doesn't give me any," she posted on Facebook.
"AHAHAHA! Nice one, LL!" Tracy commented. 
Just then, she got a chat message from Jack.

Conversation with Jack Donaghy:

Jack: Hello.
Liz: Hi. 
Jack: Have you given any consideration about what I said earlier?
Liz: Yup. 
Jack: Aaaaand...? 
Liz: I'm gonna tell you tomorrow. I promise I'll be there tomorrow morning. Stay strong, Jack! 
Jack: 
Liz: Aw, is poor Jacky sad? Awww.
Liz: I know something that'll cheer you up!
Jack: Which is...?
Liz: Sex and awesomeness.  I'll see you tomorrow.
Jack: Oh, ho ho. Liz Lemon, it is on.
Liz: Like you are right now? Hehe. Goodnight.
Jack: Can you go here? Now? Please?
Liz: Well....
Jack: I'll buy you cheesecake all week.
Liz: Alright, you got me. I'll be there in--
Jack: My limo's outside. Haha!
Liz: You bastard! You knew I was going to say yes?!
Jack: Just get down here already.
Liz: Okay, okay.

       END CONVERSATION

Liz went to check on Jenna who was watching TV.
"I gotta go!!!" Liz said.
"Yeah, have sex with Jack. Have fun."
Jenna seemed pretty focused on the tv.
"What are you watching anyway?" Liz asked.
"Tron. I'm waiting for the sex scene between that cute guy and Olivia Wilde."
"Alrighty, then."
Jenna chuckled.
"You sounded like Sarah Palin for a second."
"LEMON OUT!"

*

Liz went outside and she did see Jack's limo. She ran to open the door and as soon as she closed it and went in, she jumped on Jack's lap and kissed him.
"Well, you're excited. What have you decided?" Jack said.
"Um...I've decided that I'm going with you."
"And Jenna's okay with that?"
"Yeah. She said she was gonna visit us during the summer."
"That's wonderful," Jack simply said, kissing down her neck.
"And I also wanted to turn in a job application in LA."
"Are you going to be a writer for their hit show?" he asked, looking up at her.
"Noo..I'm applying to be your assistant."
Jack grinned devilishly.
"Well, let's have your job interview now, shall we?" 
Oh, so this is how it's going.
"Yes, sir," Liz said, as she bit her lip.
This job interview was going to be the best. 

*

"Nice to meet you, my new assistant."
Liz grinned.
"Wait, I have a question. Will I still get paid?"
Jack burst out laughing.
"Liz, darling. You don't have to worry about having an actual job if your boyfriend/boss is the fourth richest man in the world. He was also the world's most eligible bachelor a few years ago, but he's off that list because he's got a sexy one right next to him."
Liz blushed.
"Jack, you're making me blush."
"Now, don't make a Jean Grey reference. You're much too pretty for that."
"How did you--?" *gasp* "Did you watch the X-Men trilogy just for me?"
"And X-Men: Origins. I was going to watch First Class, but I was waiting until tomorrow, so I could watch it with you."
Liz hugged him.
"You're a nerd!!!! Oh my god, I love you!"
Jack smiled.
"I know. And I'm proud because I love you too."

*

"Goodbye, office," Liz said rather sadly. Her old office was clean. There was just the desk and nothing else. She'll miss this room for sure. It was like home to her. 
"Liz Lemon. You didn't tell any of us you were leaving," Tracy said, having the whole crew behind him.
"I'm sorry, guys. It was all rushed. I'm gonna miss you guys. Jack already relocated his stuff to LA and I have a flight in about 4 hours. I love you guys and I'll never forget you," Liz said, tears starting to form in her eyes.
Danny went up to her and hugged her.
"Danny. I'm gonna miss you a lot."
"Does that mean I can be called Jack now? Since he's leaving..."
Liz nodded and smiled a sad smile.
"You can do whatever you want."
Liz turned around to see the crew still looking at her.
"BIG ANNOUNCEMENT, you guys. Devon Banks is going to be the new Executive of GE. Mess with him. He's just gonna love all of you. Toofer will be the new head writer."
Tracy, Jenna and Kenneth went up to give her a group hug.
"We'll make sure to visit you and Jack," Jenna said. 
Liz smiled.
"Thanks, you guys. I'll miss you all. Stay away from Devon, Kenneth. Even though he's married, you know how he is."
"Yes, Miss Lemon. I sure hope that you and Mister Donaghy will be happy together."
Tears started to form in Liz's eyes.
"Thank you, Kenneth. That means a lot to both of us. I'll tell Jack you send us best wishes."
And after that, she was gone. Goodbye, New York. Goodbye, TGS. Goodbye, writing. 

*

It had been almost a year since Liz left New York. Kenneth was right. Everything did turn out the best for her and Jack. 
Jack got promoted to being the executive of the GE building in LA and Liz stayed as his assistant, but she was working on her new book. They got married a little over a month ago, but decided to keep it secret. 
"One year, huh?" Jack said one night. 
"What do you mean?"
"It's been one year since we left New York."
"Has it really? Oh my god."
Jack laughed.
"You know, I--" 
Before Jack could finish his sentence, there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it," Liz said. 
When she opened the door, a blond woman hugged her.
"Jenna?!" Liz said.
It was Jenna.
"Oh my gosh, how are you?!" Liz asked.
"I'm great! And you're...oh wow. That's huge, Liz."
Liz smiled.
"Just a few more months and you're gonna be an aunt!" she exclaimed.
Jenna squealed and hugged Jack.
"You are amazing, Jack. I've always wanted to be called Auntie Jenna! Thank you for having sex with my best friend and getting her pregnant. Well done, sir."
Jack looked uncomfortable.
"Uh...thank you, Jenna. I appreciate that."
"What are you guys gonna name the baby?!" she asked.
"Well, we're gonna decide it when the baby comes out. I don't want to know the sex of the baby yet, so..."
"You gotta find out, Liz! Please? I mean, if it's a guy, wouldn't Jack want to know so he can teach him little business stuff? And then when he's one, he can be wearing a suit and tie just like Jack's...not wearing right now. Wow. You look hot with casual."
Jack grinned.
"Thank you, Jenna," he said.
"Hey, hands off, Jenna. He's mine."
"Well, not technically. You guys aren't--"
Liz showed Jenna her wedding ring.
"Never mind," she said quickly.
"What are you doing in town?" Liz asked.
"Oh, nothing. Just visiting you guys. What time is it? Oh, it's ten already. Well, I should go...I don't want to be interrupting anything right now, especially with Liz's crazy hormones. How are they treating you, Jack?"
Jack smiled and rolled his eyes.
"Goodbye, Jenna. We'll see you tomorrow. You'll be here all week, right?" Jack asked.
"Of course. It's summer and my new boyfriend's here. Did you know that--"
"Bye, Jenna! Thanks for coming over!" Liz said, as she slammed the door.
"OMG, I thought she'd never leave," Jack said, before kissing her.
