6 weeks after Abbie and Ward's Birth, Vicki, against Henry's wishes, goes back to work, he wanted her to take off longer, she was about to go nuts.
"Good morning Coreen!!" Vicki was so chipper sounding. It weired Coreen out but she had missed her so much, she didn't care.
"Hey Vicki! How are the babies?" Coreen asked.
"Wonderful of course. They are so good it's scary. With my genes, you'd think they'd be causing problems already." Vicki said with a laugh. Vicki already had her pre-pregnancy body back. She looked stunning. And, as soon as she got home tonight, Vicki knew that her six weeks were up...Henry had told her to hurry home...
"Any new and INTERESTING cases, not just the bland ones Henry had me doing?"
"Actually, it's been kind of quite. Almost too quite. Oh, but I do have a bit of news." Coreen said excitedly.
Vicki who was sifting through her mail, looked at Coreen in anticipation, "Yes?"
"I'm seeing somone" Coreen said blushing.
"That's wonderful! It's about time..wait, he's not a demon or some kind of mystical person is he?" She eyed her suspiciously.
Coreen sighed, "No, this one is a mundane. I think you'll like him. He's coming to take me to lunch. He works at the university."
"Well, good for you." Vicki smiled at Coreen then headed into her office.
She sat down behind her desk and sighed, inhaling the scent of her leather chair.
As much as she was in love with her children, Vicki was a workaholic and she knew it. She needed to work, had to have it everyday like a drug. Plus, she knew Henry was with the babies so she was even more relaxed at coming back. She knew they were safe.
She jumped when her phone suddenly rang, it was Coreen. Why didn't she just walk in here..
"Yes?" she asked somewhat irritated.
"Mike is coming in and he's not happy." she whispered into the phone, just as Mike burst into her office.
"Why the hell are you already back at work? What kind of man lets his..his...baby momma or whatever you are calling yourself back to work so soon?" Mike had stomped over to her desk, she stood up defiantely behind her desk, putting her hands on it and leaning into him.
"For your information, it was MY choice to come back, the doctor okayed it and I don't recall being your wife so it's none of your damned business and how did you find out anyway?" she was flaring with anger.
"I called the house, to ask for your help and Henry told me you were here." He snorted back.
She crossed her arms and looked at him, waiting for him to answer her other questions.
"Well?" she said tapping her foot.
"Sorry, you're right, it's none of my business, it's just that I worry about you Vic, you have kids now, you need to slow down and WAIT , did you say WIFE? Are you and bloodsucker MARRIED??" Mike was seething now..why did he care??
"No, not legally but so what if we were? What is your problem? If you came here to start a fight, you might as well leave now." She plopped down in her chair.
"No, I'm sorry again! You're right and I really need your help." He said as he took off his jacket, threw it on the chair and sat down.
"By the way, how are Kate and M.J.?" Vicki asked her anger subsiding.
"Well, that's why I'm here..She's left and taken the baby with her. I need to hire you...to find my son. I won't lose him Vicki, I can't" he said his eyes welling with tears...
