Disclaimer: Well, since I have no money and I don't own the show or the characters, please don't sue. I promise I'm not profiting.
A/N: OK, after writing a chapter of "Dredging up the Past" and "Patching Wounds", I decided I needed to do something fluffier. This is oneshot is the result. Yes, I blame recent fics for the inspiration. Thanks GraciePie. LOL
Alex walked back into the den. Staring at her husband, who was, of course, watching the history channel, she was starting to get a nauseous feeling in her stomach. She knew it was just nerves this time. While it wasn't going to be a shock, he would probably be a little surprised at the speed. Faking a smile, she walked up and stole the remote and turned the TV off.
Bobby playfully looked up at his wife and tried to snatch the remote back, grumbling, "Oh come on. Give it back, please. This is an interesting piece on Napoleon."
Alex smiled slightly, absently thinking of how cute he could be. Focusing again, she explained, "We need to talk."
Seeing her turn serious, Bobby frowned and stopped. Moving aside so she could sit down, he tried to keep his mind from running through all the different horrible things she could want to tell him. Watching her sit down, he bit the bullet, "OK. What's wrong?"
Turning to face him, she admitted, "I wouldn't say something is really wrong… You know I've been sick the last few days. I didn't tell you before, because I didn't want to freak you out or get your hopes up, but I'm also late."
Confused, Bobby wasn't sure he was following. He finally asked, "Late?"
Alex rolled her eyes and started laughing. She responded, "For someone so smart you can be dense. My period Bobby."
It was then that it finally hit Bobby. Wide-eyed and surprised, he stumbled through some words, "Oh! Oh God, you're…"
Alex laughed a little more. She nodded and pointed to their bathroom, "The test in there. It's positive. I'm pregnant."
Going from surprise to pure joy, Bobby grabbed her face and kissed her hard. Pulling away they both just smiled. Staring into her eyes, he just replied, "Wow, we're going to be parents. I kind of thought, thought it would take a little longer."
Alex nodded. She quipped, "Yeah, apparently one of us is good."
Bobby laughed again. Still trying to process, he replied, "I'm going to be a father."
Lying down on her back, she put her head in his lap. She assured him, "You're going to be a wonderful dad."
Stroking her hair, Bobby asked, "You know what this means, right?"
Looking up at him, Alex happily asked, "What?"
Bobby looked over at the real estate books and reminded her, "We're going to have to get serious about finding a house."
Alex smiled. Snuggling back down, she softly replied, "Hmm. You, me, our baby, and a home. Sounds like heaven."
