Melinda looked down at the pregnancy test lying on the bathroom counter. It read positive. She let a slow smile spread across her face. She was pregnant, and better yet she was pregnant with Fin's child. She couldn't wait to tell him, but she would have to wait until he got home from work. She was supposed to be at work, but she wasn't feeling well and her boss sent her home. Now she knew why she hasn't been feeling well for the past few days. She threw away the test and grabbed her phone as she walked out of the bathroom. She scheduled an appointment on Thursday with Dr. Ryclear. A few hours later she was lying on the couch not paying much attention to the TV that was on. Instead she was thinking about how she could become a great mother. She heard the door open then slam closed.

"Hey Mel" Fin said as he walked towards the couch and squatted down in front of her. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling much better now." She replied truthfully. "I do have something very important to tell you though." She was now sitting up on the couch.

"What is it, baby?" He asked prompting her to continue.

She grabbed Fin's left hand and looked into his eyes. "Fin you're going to be a father."

"Are you serious?" He asked. He was in shock. He would become a father in a matter of months. He didn't know if he could be any happier. He gently put a hand on her flat stomach. His baby was growing inside of her he thought as he smiled. He moved his hand from her stomach to gently cup her face, and he kissed her lips tenderly.

"I take it your pretty happy?" She asked playfully.

"How could I not be? We're having a baby together." He answered in all seriousness.

"Yeah and I have an appointment on Thursday to confirm my pregnancy. Can you take the day off and come to the OB/GYN with me?" She questioned hoping he could.

"I don't know. I'll talk to Cragen about it tomorrow." He replied.

"Alright" Melinda said as her stomach started to growl.

"Come on, I'll make you something to eat." He said as he got off the floor and walked towards the kitchen. Melinda was following close behind.

After he made the food, they began to eat. Melinda started to get a little nauseous half way through her meal. She quickly got up and ran to the bathroom where she emptied out her stomach. Fin rubbed her back and held her hair up. When she finished throwing up she grabbed the toothbrush and brushed her teeth.

"Are you alright?" He asked concerned.

"Yeah I'm okay now. I'm just a bit tired." She answered with a yawn.

"You go to sleep. I'm going to clean the kitchen then I'll be right there. "He said while walking out of the bathroom.

Melinda walked to their room and changed into one of Fin's t- shirts and a pair of shorts. She got under the covers on her side of the bed and fell asleep rather quickly.


Since it was Wednesday she had to work. When she arrived at work she went straight to her boss's office. She knocked once.

"Come in" She heard from the other side of the door. Melinda walked in and took a seat in the chair placed in front of her boss's desk.

"Could I have tomorrow off?" Melinda asked Alyson, her boss.

"Why?"Alyson asked now rather curious.

"Well when I went home yesterday, I took a pregnancy test. It was positive. Tomorrow I have an appointment to see if I'm really pregnant." Melinda said smiling.

"Alright then Melinda, you can have tomorrow off. I hope that you are pregnant. You'd make a great mother. Tell Fin that I wish you the best of luck." She said before going back to her paperwork.

"Okay, thank you" Melinda replied before getting up and walking out.


When Fin arrived at work he walked to Cragen's office. He didn't even reply to his colleges when they said their "good mornings".

"Hey captain, can I have tomorrow off?" He asked.

"Sure but why?" Cragen replied.

"Yesterday Melinda told me she took a pregnancy test and it was positive. We're going to go to the OB/GYN to confirm it." He said with a smile.

"Wow Fin, that's great. Give Melinda my best wishes." He told Fin as his phone began to ring. Fin took that as a sign and left his office.

"Hey Fin, what was that about?" Olivia asked as soon as he came out of the office.

"Nothing" He replied while sitting down.
