A/N: No, I couldn't help myself either. I know I haven't updated Once Upon a Child in three weeks but I am working on it. This story just kinda got out of hand and demanded to be written - sorry if you're waiting on OUaC, I really am. This is gonna be a multi-chapter but most is already written so I get to focus on OUaC again.

Disclaimer: Nothing is mine.

'Not alone'

Chapter 1, 'Damned Hormones'

Cho was talking with the grieving family of the deceased, his stance once again calm and assertive, like it always was. He didn't let seep in what his opinion was about the situation, and that wouldn't have happened if instead of him, Rigsby or Van Pelt would have stood her.

Jane watched the Asian man talk their way out of this moment. It hadn't been anyone's fault that he was standing here, even if that was slightly debatable. The family didn't care, though. All they did was being furious.

He rubbed his chest. Then turned around to the front door and stepped out.

Lisbon was standing there with her head buried in her hands, taking deep breaths but shaking as well.

She seemed to have sensed that he had joined her, since she turned around.

Tears were streaming down her face.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," she cried. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. She was sobbing and her hands clutched his shirt. "I... I don't know... don't know what... what I was thinking it's just... I..."

"Ssh, Teresa, it's fine."

Somewhere deep down, he wanted to laugh about this all and tease her for what she's done – in any other situation, he would've done exactly the same thing. Her state of mind was different, though. He knew the exact reason for her mood swings and although he knew she would kill him if he ever admitted it, he found it was a good thing that she bashed this family. Their ego was too big anyway.

He knew the consequences her mood swings could have for her reputation and the reputation of the SCU or even the CBI in general – and that was the reason she was crying. Well, she wouldn't be crying if there wasn't a tiny human creature inside her now.

They remained like that for a little while before she pushed away from him slightly, taking in a deep breath.

"When will those stupid hormones ever end?"

He chuckled and kissed her cheek. "You're only two months pregnant, love. This is a far cry from what it will be like in five months."

She groaned. He smiled again and pulled her closer.

Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing that she lost her temper from time to time. She wasn't going to be able to stay at the CBI anyway in a few months.

A/N: So let me know if you're interested in the rest of the story! ^^
