Happy stormed into the Garage and everyone looked up.
"Tobias Merriweather Curtis!"
Toby stood quickly. Anger clear in her voice. He met her in the middle of the garage floor. She grabbed the neckline collar of his shirt and with a furious look in her eyes she dragged him out of the garage. The team looked at each other.
"Who is gonna go be the whiteness to his murder?" Sylvester asked.
As soon as the door was closed Happy still had a firm hold on his collar.
"Happy I don't know what I did! I don't gamble and you know I would never cheat."
"Toby, I'm Pregnant!" Happy rushed out with a huge smile on her face.
"We did it Hap?" Toby asked excitedly as he wrapped her in his arms and her hold on his collar went limp and went around his neck to huge him.
"We did it Tobes!" Happy exclaims. Tightening her hold and letting a small tear of joy rolled down her cheek.
A week had passed since Happy and Toby knew that they were expecting a baby. They had decided that they would tell the team after the first trimester or if a case was too dangerous for her and the baby.
Her morning sickness was in the morning from 6-7 and normally came around again before dinner. She could not look at or smell seafood, spaghetti, or grinded meat. The smell of yogurt and cheese made her especially sick.
At this point Happy was 7 weeks along and no one had noticed. Happy hadn't really grown a baby bump yet but, Toby told her that it was because of her small body and that by the second trimester they should be able to see her baby bump.
Happy and Toby were sitting on the couch, cuddled close and watching mindless TV. Happy had fallen asleep and her head rest on Toby's shoulder. He realized that she was down for the night so he lifted her off the couch and carried her to bed. She lay limp on the bed and Toby removed her leggings and left her in his T-shirt. Toby pulled the covers over her and fixed her hair so that she wasn't lying on it, causing a tug.
He crawled into bed next to his wife after doing a light shave to not let his beard grow to long. Him and Happy both preferred it stubbly. Happy loved the feeling of his manly stubble when the kissed and the feeling of it on her neck and occasionally her body and thighs.
He stripped himself from his jeans and shirt. Once socks were off he cuddled close to Happy.
Once the morning light bleed through the curtains of their bedroom window. Toby woke up and looked at the clock on his wife's side of the bed. The clock read 5am. Happy was still asleep, head on his chest.
Toby looked at her dark black hair. It was shining from the bright sun. He marveled at her beauty. His arm was around her and the other rested on her abdomen.
Happy moved and began to wake an hour later. She ran to the bathroom. Toby followed and held her hair. He was there for her through all the sickness.
"How much longer till we can tell the team?" Happy asked while playing with her pancakes at breakfast.
"We can tell the whenever you want to, princess." Toby said while flipping another pancake in the frying pan.
"It's just getting harder to hide."
"I understand, Honey."
"It's just… yesterday I was craving chocolate cake and that's all I could think about. We were at work so we couldn't do anything."
"Happy, you can let the cat out of the bag whenever you want. Just know that the cat can't go back in after it's out."
"Bags are a terrible place for cats." Happy looked up with a huge smile. They both shared a light laugh.
"Ready for work?" Toby asked.
"Yeah"
They went to the Garage and another day wet on. After a case that was just at the garage with frantic hacking, Paige asked the team to have dinner at the Garage. She was making spaghetti and happy snuck a panicked look at Toby. With a stiff poker face Toby nodded and Toby pulled Paige to the side.
"Hey, I have a special surprise for Happy at home. I'm gonna take her out to dinner and get all fancy."
"Okay, go have fun."
"Thanks Paige."
Toby gives Happy a look that says to play along. "Come on Honey."
"Where are we going?"
"I have a surprise for you wife"
Happy raises her eyebrows and Toby takes her hand, leading her out of the garage. The team turns and looks at Paige. "Toby had to plans to take Happy to a fancy dinner." The team understood and went back to their plans of dinner.
Happy and Toby got in the car. And Happy turned to him. "So was that just getting me away from the spaghetti or are you really taking me out?"
"We can go out if you feel up to it."
"I'd like that."
"Then let's go home and get fancy and I'll look up some places."
They went back and forth talking about places and looking at their menus online. Happy pulled into their driveway. They got out and sat on the couch and took a few minutes picking where to go.
Happy wanted to shower but the feeling of Toby's lips on her neck and her new found libido had her pulling him into the shower along with her. He was holding her close and nibbling on her ear lobe. She loved it but was never loud. He washed her hair and body and she did the same for him. After the shower Happy did her makeup with Toby locked out of the bathroom. She had a dress picked out and heels. She slipped on a red dress that hugged her chest and waist and flowed at her hips. She had red heels and red lips to match.
She opened the door and Toby stood there nice dress pants and shoes and a dressy jacket. He had no tie or shirt on.
"You can't go to dinner without a shirt."
"I wanted to know what color you'd be wearing. I see you chose red and it looks so sexy on you."
"Thank you. Now get a shirt on."
He walks over to his side of the closet. He pulls out a red dress shirt and a black tie to go with his black shoes and pants.
They left and once in the restaurant, were quickly seated. Toby pulled out Happy's chair and she smoothed her dress out before sitting. He sat across from her and they scanned the menu before each deciding on what to eat. They placed their order and Toby took her hand.
"How is mommy and baby?"
"Baby is fine. And don't call me mommy till the kid is here."
"I respect that."
"Good."
The food came shortly and they were in the car an hour later. Toby looked at Happy and she smiled to him that sent a little fear into his veins.
"Wanna grab some ice cream?" Happy asked with a huge grin on her face.
"Your obsession with ice cream, sweetheart. Sure let's go"
"Yay" Happy says as she takes the corner. Toby laughs lightly at her excitement.
They get to the drive through and Happy got a chocolate cone that was covered in chocolate sprinkles. Toby got the same chocolate cone but his was covered in rainbow sprinkles.
Before Happy can get dropped sprinkles all over her dress, Toby lays napkins all over a lap. He does the same for himself and when he looks up he sees her pulling the car into the parking lot of a playground. He looks at her and she smiled at him.
"Why are we here?" Toby asked.
"Because we are gonna eat ice cream here and play after." Happy answered.
"Oh"
Happy gets out of the car and Toby follows she goes to the swings and sits down. Toby sits on the swing next to her. They talk and eat their ice cream till Happy is almost done her cone. Toby finally gets a good look at her face to find her face and mouth covered in the chocolate treat.
"You are a mess, Babe" Toby laughed. "There are napkins in the car. Want me to get some?"
"Yeah thanks."
Toby runs to the car and comes back with the before mentioned napkins. He squats down in front of her and wipes her face off and sets the dirty napkin down beside him on the mulch . He licks a new napkin and wipes the sticky ice cream from her face.
"You are gonna need to wash your face when we get home, love."
"K. We should get going."
"Okay" Toby stands, taking her hands and pulling her upright, off of the swing. Toby decided to drive home and realized his good decision when Happy fell asleep.
He carried her inside and laid her in bed. Happy sat up and removed her dress and Toby handed her one of his T-shirts for her to sleep in. He walked into the bathroom and wet a face cloth. He gave it to her and she wouldn't take it. She was sleeping while sitting up. He woke her and whipped her face to remove the stickiness from her ice cream mess before.
He laid her back against the mattress. He got himself ready for bed and slid in next to her. Toby pulled their blankets over them both. She cuddled next to him and he held her close. He kissed her head and laid his head against the pillows.
Toby thought of what their baby might look like. He thought about if the baby that they worked so hard to make would like his profession or Happy's. Or maybe their baby would like something entirely different. He tried not to think about their baby not being genius. Either way He and Happy would love that baby with everything that they could.
A life changing journey was just beginning for him and his wife. They weren't alone. They had their entire team behind him. It would definitely take a village to raise a baby that was half him and half Happy.
