"Hey, you're early, I haven't finished writing the report," Esposito said to his girlfriend.
"It's okay, I want a short talk with Kate," Lanie said, and went on to her best friend.
"Can we talk briefly," Lanie wanted to know.
"Sure, what's up," Kate wanted to know, pointing to Castles chair, to show Lanie to sit down.
"Not here, in private," Lanie said softly. "Okay," replied Kate, and looked at her best friend with a raised eyebrow before she went to the break room and closed the door behind Lanie.
"What's the matter," Kate wanted to know, and looked quizzical at the medical examiner.
"Could you do me a favor," asked Lanie and looked at Kate while she chewed her bottom lip.
"Sure I do, but Lanie, what's wrong, I think I have never seen you so nervous," Beckett wanted to know.
"I know that the team is on call today, but please don't call Javi when you get a new case," Lanie asked her friend.
"Lanie how do you figure that, I just don't call him because you want to spend an undisturbed evening with him," asked Beckett.
"Kate, I wouldn't ask you about that at any other night, but I have to tell him today and I have to take the time we need an I can't do it, when he probably gets a call and needs to leave," was Lanies confusing answer.
"What do you have to tell him," asked the detective.
"I'm pregnant," Lanie blurted out.
"Wow, congra ..," Kate was interrupted.
"Congratulations, only after I told him ... I mean, we haven't talked about kids ..., "said Lanie and Kate saw how nervous she was.
"He's coming... I won't call," Kate whispered, squeezing Lanies hand before leaving the break room.
"Can we go," Esposito wanted to know from the medical examiner. "Sure," said Lanie and forced herself to smile.
