Getting To Know Each Other (Jenna/Cody)

Cody waited patiently outside of a small Italian restaurant for Jenna. After she had taken such good care of him when he was sick, he had grown to like her and decided to ask her out.

Seeing the blonde approach, Cody smiled widely.

"Hey beautiful." Cody said.

"Hey yourself handsome," Jenna said. She'd opted to go for the one arm cane instead of her crutches that night, though her legs were very weak.

Cody smiled as he held the door open for her.

"Hope Italian is okay." Cody said.

"Perfect, my favorite actually," Jenna said as she wobbled inside on her unsteady feet.

"Great." Cody said. "Need some help?"

"I've got it," Jenna said quickly, not wanting Cody to see her as weak.

"Jen, it's fine if you do. I don't mind." Cody said.

"I'm fine," Jenna said stubbornly.

"Alright." Cody said, nodding at the waiter as he led them to a table.

Jenna walked slowly, not wanting to fall in front of Cody.

Cody got to the table and held the chair out of Jenna.

"Thank you," Jenna said as she sat down.

"You're welcome." Cody said, sitting down across from her.

Jenna smiled.

"So, how have you been?" Cody asked.

"Good, been trying to rasie Hailey on my own," Jenna said.

"How is she doing?" Cody asked.

"She had the flu last week, but she's better now," Jenna said.

"That's good that's better." Cody said.

Jenna nodded.

"She's a real handful lately, the terrible twos," Jenna chuckled.

"But if she's anything like you, she must be adorable." Cody said.

Jenna smiled.

"That she is, looks just like her daddy," Jenna said.

"What happened to him? If you don't mind me asking." Cody said.

"He was killed in a car accident when I was two months along," Jenna said.

"Sorry to hear that." Cody said.
