Please review.
Pairing: Boyd / Grace
Chapter one: the phone call
She was woken from her slumber by the person lying next to her groaning and the shrill of her phone ringing. Grace reached out and grabbed her phone from the bedside table.
'Hello' she said sleepily
'Hi mum it's me, you ok? Sound like you just got up'
'Frankie?' Grace replied
'Yeah it's me u alright grace?'
Grace quickly sat up in bed and pulled the duvet closer for warmth.
'Yep I'm fine' grace replied looking at the clock which read 7:30am, Christ she thought it bloody early for Frankie to be calling.
'Anyway what's the matter, are you ok.' grace asked.
'Yep I'm fine; I just wanted to ask a favor of you.' stated a very cheerful Frankie.
'Ok, sure...' grace replied rubbing her face to wake up 'and what are you doing up at this time.'
'Well I was just on my way into the lab so while I got a min I thought I would ask if you will have little Evie tonight night, it's just that ….'
Just as Frankie was getting into full swing about why she need grace to look after her baby daughter Boyd's voice boom in the background .
'Grace! Get off the bloody phone its and unearthly hour the kids can wait.'thinking it would be a call from HQ Spence or Stella with a case for him.'Tell them we will be in ,in a hour we can sort whatever wrong then and until then it can wait ,put the phone down woman .'
All went quiet on the phone after Boyd's display, the conversation suddenly stopping.
Grace hit Boyd with a pillow as she called down the phone 'you still there?'
'Erm … yeah …I'm sorry grace I didn't mean to wake …..Interrupt.'
'Don't be silly ….ignore grumpy he just wants extra sleep anyway what did you need?'
'Well …. I was going to ask you if you would look after Evie for a night I have a seminar and I can't really get out of it would you mind ?'
'Of course we will, you know that, now when do you want us to have her?'
'Tonight'
'Tonight!'
'Yes is that ok …I know its short notice but I wouldn't feel right leaving her with anyone else and beside we know how much she loves her granny .'
Grace thought to herself it was typical of Frankie to leave everything to the last minute but grace loved her for it, it wouldn't be Frankie otherwise.
'Its fine, that's ok' grace replied quickly 'and Frankie I'm not a granny its make me feel old I'm a nanny' grace insisted.
'Ok whatever same thing, you're a life saver grace see you at 7 ok?'
'Yes, yes now go on speak to you later.'
Grace smiled at the thought of having her goddaughter over to stay as she put the phone down a slid down into the warmth of the bed.
Boyd turn over laying an arm across graces stomach pulling her closer for a few moment s and then whispered in her ear
'So want was so important it couldn't wait till we got to work?'
'Evie'
"Evie?" What's wrong with her?'
Grace smiled to herself at this thought it was rare moments like these she loved .he had only pronounced his goddaughters name but the way he had showed concern and protection and had jump out of his slumber world he was now wide awake listening eagerly about news of Evie, it was the side of Boyd he rarely showed .
'Nothing is wrong Boyd, Frankie was just asking if we could look after her for a night as she has a seminar and can't get out of it.'
'Ummm'
'What does ummm mean?' Grace turn to see his facial expression
'Nothing …..God no psycho babble yet please' Boyd groaned
'Nothing, umm must have meant something'
Boyd snapped 'it meant nothing grace'
Grace looked at him for a moment summing up whether to carry on but decided an argument was not a great way to start the day and moved on quickly
'Well ….fine I'm wide awake now I'm going to take a shower.'
As grace close the door to the en-suite bathroom Boyd made a grumbling noise to him-self. thoughts of last night with grace made he wanted to go back to sleep and forget work for today and spent the day with her in bed but the noise from the shower and the conversation previous had woke him up .
He slowly sat up his legs dangling on the edge of the bed and yawned .he had just finished rubbing his eyes when a glowing grace appeared from out of the bathroom, her hair wrapped in a towel and a white dressing gown wrapped round her body.
'What?' She asked as she noticed Boyd was starring, 'have I got toothpaste on my mouth?'
Boyd just grinned at her remark he thought she looked utterly beautiful and wondered why this woman was still living with him -he didn't know ,he got up quickly from the bed and cross the room to her and embraced her with a tender kiss .When he pulled away he whispered in her ear 'I love you .'
'I love you too but if you don't hurry up I won't have time to pick the kids breakfast up on the way to work.'
'O god grace you know how to kill a moment…' Boyd walked away from her missing the contact of her skin
'What?'
'Never mind' he stated as he headed into the bathroom
'And surely there old enough to get the their own' he shout back
'Don't let Spence her you say that you will never here the end of it you got 15 minutes Boyd.'
'Ok, ok just grab the car key and the files that I left on the sofa last night.'
