Chapter 1 – The Beginning

Everything had changed in the last year. Alex and Maggie were no longer together. Kara and Lena were having twins the brunette CEO being six and a half months pregnant. Cat was back and bought back her company and running it again and most importantly Lucy was back as well now Director of the dessert base.

Alex was sitting on her couch with a beer in her pizza sitting on the coffee table while watching to crap on the TV but it was mind numbing and it means she can turn her brain off from working. She had barley started her first slice of pizza when her front door opened Lucy walking through door shutting behind her throwing her jacket over onto one of the stool in front of the kitchen island.

"Oh, thank god pizza." Lucy exclaimed happily grabbing her own beer then plopping down beside Alex on the couch grabbing her own slice of pizza.

"Please do help yourself." Alex sarcastically but not really bothered either.

"Don't mind if I do." Lucy said happily.

A comfortable silence fell over them as they sat and watched whatever program that the doctor was watching sitting next to each other although further apart than they normally do. Lucy was also strangely quiet compared to usual. Normally she would randomly come away with something and like the bio engineer's sister the director also had absolutely no concept of personal space and is usually sitting so close to the brunette that she was practically sitting on top of Alex.

Alex decided to leave it though, that was something they were both alike. They were never one to talk about things when asked it was always on their own terms. So instead they sat slightly apart from one another watching as some family talked about a baby. That was apparently when Lucy decided that she wanted to talk about whatever it was on her mind. First though she quickly went over to the bedroom area of Alex open plan apartment changing into a pair of boxers and a t-shirt for the night. Once she was ready she made her way back over to the brunette on the couch sitting down directly on Alex's knee resting her arms on her shoulder.

"Hi." Lucy said with a small smile.

"HI." Alex smiled back her hands automatically going to rest on the older woman's hips making sure that she wouldn't fall off.

"So you know our arrangement about a baby?" Lucy asked shyly.

"Yeah to have one together in five years" Alex nodded.

"I want to have a baby now."

"You want us to try and have a baby now?" Alex asked slightly surprised, but she couldn't deny she was rather fond of the idea.

"Yeah, I know it's like five years early, but I want us to try now." The director nodded.

"If your carry first then I don't see we can't get the ball rolling and start trying. Leave it with me and I will look into Doctors, okay" Alex smiles at the year older woman sitting on her knee happily.

Nodding happily Lucy removes herself from the brunette's lap before lying down settling her head on Alex's thigh using it as a pillow one hand resting beside her head. Without a second thought Alex reaches down running her fingers through the Directors hair. This is a good idea right. She's not trying to have her cake and eat it, too right? This isn't going to come back and bite her in the ass is it? For a moment the idea that this was a mistake quickly passed through the doctor's head before shaking it straight back out. After all this is what they both want. A faint sigh of happiness brought the agents wandering mind back. Fingers scrapping at Lucy's scalp as Alex relaxed back against the couch letting herself focus back on the TV.

It took a couple of weeks, but Alex managed to find a Doctor that they both agreed on would be suitable for them both. It was smack in the middle of both of their offices and the particular Doctor had one day during the week where they were open later than the others to allow people with stranger hour to make appointments. Stage one complete.

Stage two rather more complicated than the first one that was for sure. It was kind of halted though before it even began when Alex made a discovery. Alien devised that does something with their eggs meaning that the baby would biologically be there's. Doctor Hamilton would now be there doctor at the DEO from then on. The unfortunate part was that was all the alien technology did the rest of the process was exactly the same just cutting out the man. It turns Alex's egg (Since Lucy is carrying) into sperm if you like and then fertilizes Lucy's egg. But since that's all it does the process they would have been following with a normal doctor hasn't change. Lucy will still have to inject herself with hormones in the backside every day for the next month. The part the smaller woman most definitely could be doing without, she hates needles. Needless to say, that Alex has been doing it for the smaller woman. Hopefully they would be having a baby and, yet they have yet to tell people of their plan. Not even Kara knows what they are up to.

Lucy was hatting it. Not the part where hopefully by the end of it there would be a beautiful little baby but this stage it was making her moodier. She swears to god she almost killed a rookie with a letter opener that was sitting beside her on her desk this morning. Thank fully today was the last one before she was implanted and what makes it even better she was working at the city branch of the DEO this week meaning one of them doesn't need to travel just to come and get an injection done that latterly takes a minute.

She was using a spare desk that had been set up in Alex's office lost in the paper work that she was looking through and whatever was on her laptop that was dawning her concentration when Alex came into her own office. Thankfully there was only one large window along one wall that's blind was hardly ever open they way she liked it. Most people knew there though that when her office door was closed especially with the blinds closed over the glass panel not to even bother coming in unless it was an absolute emergency that no one else could deal with.

"You ready?" Alex asked shutting the door behind her rounding Lucy's desk leaning against it beside her.

"Yeah, lets get it over with." Lucy said dumping the file in her hand down on the desk standing up.

Without a second glance Alex sat down on the seat the smaller woman had just vacated placing the small black kit that held everything they required down on the desk. Lucy on the other hand stood in front of the agent turning around so her back was facing her friends unclipping her belt lowering her trousers enough to give Alex to her right butt cheek. Silently she sterilized the area before injecting the last dose in not bothering to warm Lucy of the sharp scratching knowing it makes the shorter woman fidget. A hiss escaping the Directors lips hear head dropping feeling said sharp scratch.

"Sorry, I'm sorry. The last one." Alex said placing a small plaster over the area she'd just injected.

Unfortunately, they were interrupted by the speaker Alex being needed for something urgently. So with a quick kiss on the top of the head of her boss and promises to be there tonight for movies and pizza even though it was happening in her apartment. So, she didn't quite get home as early as she would have liked but it was in plenty of time for them to at least watch two movies. She knew that Lucy was here she saw her bike parked outside plus there is here jacket in its usual place across one of the island bar stools and her shoes at the side by the door.

"Luce?" Alex called through the apartment removing her own jacket and shoes.

"I'm in the bath." The director called back.

"You want the usual for the pizza?" Alex asked back through the door leaning against the frame.

"You can come in you know, I mean you've seen my naked ass." Lucy grinned making the taller brunette laugh as she opened the door.

"You alright?" Alex asked crouching down beside the bathtub nothing but Lucy head and the top of her shoulders showing eyes closed and her hair up in a bun.

"Yeah, we just have out appointment in a couple days and they advise no baths for at least two weeks after in case of infection, so I decided to take the opportunity now for one." The Older woman replied, eyes remaining closed.

"Okay, you enjoy your bath and I'll call for the pizza, yes I know no peppers." Alex replied standing up placing a kiss to her best friends check before leaving shutting the door behind her.

Before they knew it the next few days rolled around some how managing to speed by yet go incredibly slow at the same time. When the time came though both woman were there hands clasped watching as Doctor Hamilton carried out the procedure. The, then they wait for the next seven to eight with the option to take a home pregnancy test after two weeks, but they had both agreed that they were not going to go for that option not wanting to get their hopes instead they would wait for their scheduled appointment.

Both women were completely sure that this was possible the scariest thing that they had ever done. It was also most exciting thing that either of them had done. At the end of this they could have a little mini me to hold and love and call their own. A beautiful baby that was part of them both and with their best friend. Yup Alex was most certain this was going to bite her in the ass. She was pretty sure that she was falling in love with her best friend the mother of her soon to be baby hopefully. She would take being friends though its better than nothing and she want's to be in this baby's life it her baby too and she doesn't want to ruin the relationship between the two of them. So, if it means she has to ignore the twisting warm and butterfly feeling in her stomach around Lucy then that's what she was going to do. After all you can't have your cake and eat it, too can you? Can you?

Time seemed to slow down after that both women anxious to find out if it had worked. Although neither woman would admit it they weren't holding their breath that it had worked. After all you are told that it might not work first time and they were the first people to use an alien device to work. If it doesn't work that's okay too though it just means that they will try again if they have too. It doesn't mean its going to stop them from hoping that it works though. They weren't holding their breath, but they were crossing their fingers and toes that it does indeed work. Lucy was also taking every precaution to make sure that she follows the advice as if she was pregnant. Meaning no alcohol something that Alex had vowed to give up with her but not the coffee the taller brunette had vowed that it was what was keeping half on the rookies alive.

Either way baby this time or no baby this time they would be okay that was for sure they had each other after all.
