A/N: This is my third fiction for this fandom and Ship but the first that I've felt good enough about to post. It was just something fun to write. I don't own anything as usual.

Summary: 4 times Sonja overhears Chris and Merri discussing something that sounds inappropriate, and one time she over hears something that actually is inappropriate. And hinting at established CHERRI.

Part I: Little ones?

Sonya quietly enters their office, unknown to her co-workers. Chris and Merri are perched on her desk, their backs to Percy, deep in conversation. Percy starts to head for her own desk.

"I can't believe this Chris! This' something I've wanted for so long!" Merri exclaims, leaning more into her partner.

"I know; me either Merri. Our lives are changing and it's so excitin!" Chris replies, his side now fully in contact with hers.

"Just think at all the firsts, the milestones…" Merri starts.

"And watchin our little ones grow up. We really get to do this Merri" Chris finishes, turning to look at the pretty woman next to him.

Sonja stops dead in her tracks. Did she just hear that correctly?

"You know we'll be having more- as many as we can" Merri continues, taking Chris' hand in hers.

"Of course we are! But, Mere, what'll King say when he finds out?" he asks apprehensively.

"It's King. He'll be pissed at first then come around to happy Grandpa Pride!"

At this, Sonya nearly drops her phone. She definitely heard right, but what the hell?

"Hey guys!" Sonya states, coming around to face the happy couple and finally make her presence known.

"Hey Percy, what's up?" Chris asks nonchalantly.

Sonya takes in the pair suspiciously. They are sitting on Merri's desk, way too close together, and Chris has one arm around her while she has her hand tightly entwined in his.

"Christopher! Why are there two puppies in my office?" Pride asks now joining the group.

"Well, ya see King, we found 'em all abandoned and scared at the crime scene"

"And we just couldn't resist those adorable faces!" Merri finishes for her partner.

"Puppies? As in Dogs?" Percy asks confused.

"Yeah. What did you…oh my, you heard our conversation?!" Merri says.

"Yeah. I walked in and ya'll were talkin' about how happy ya'll are and about raisin little ones so I thought…"

"Babies! Ya thought Merri and I are havin babies!" Chris answers grinning broadly.

Pride stands back amused at this little misunderstanding among his agents.

"Well Percy, we are gonna be raisin a pair a Pit Bull puppies for now. Human babies'll be around in the future, and lots of em" Chris continues looking at Merri who's gone wide-eyed.

"Christopher, Meredith, is there something ya'll need to tell me?" Pride asks, arms folded across his chest and all serious and professional now.

"Pride, no, I'm not pregnant yet."

Merri curses herself for letting that yet slip out.

"It's just those adorable puppies right now" she continues, hoping to save face.

"But soon King, very soon" Chris adds.

Pride stands silently observing his "family" and this development. He starts to reply but his phone goes off. It is a case, of course.

"Alright folks. We gotta body on the riverfront. Grab your stuff and let's go catch some bad guys."

Pride turns and walks off, his team following their leader. Chris and Merri are directly behind him, walking way too close and smiling at each other every few steps. Percy takes up the rear. She rolls her eyes at her colleagues and wonders what she has gotten herself into.
