When Bishop told me to call Eames... I realized that she was right. I had to call her. Hell, I mean she just had a baby! Seven pounds, eight ounces. I'm so happy for her. I miss her like crazy though. This case really made me realize that. Okay, so I'm gonna call her. Maybe I should wait an hour. Yeah, I really should. God, I can't believe that Eames had a baby. I wonder if it's going to hurt her psyche. You know, the whole giving the baby she carried for nine months to her sister thing. I can't wait an hour to call her. I have to do it now. Eames is on speed dial, so I press two and send.

"Bobby?"

"Yeah... It's me."

"It's good to hear from you."

"How are you feeling?"

"Like I need some more morphine." I can tell that she's joking, or at least I hope she is.

"Well you did just have a baby, so that's understandable."

"Haha... Yeah... I guess I did."

"So when are you gonna be back to work?"

"Goren, for God's sake I just had a baby a half an hour ago and you're already asking me about coming back to work?"

"Ha. Well yeah, I am. I miss you Eames!" I'm really beating myself up for asking her about work.

"I can tell. Probably in two more weeks."

"That's it?"

"Bobby, you have to understand that the reason most women have such a long maternity leave is because they actually take care of the baby after they give birth. That is something that wasn't in my job description."

I take a deep breath, because I'm not sure what to say to that. I didn't expect such a blunt answer. After a moment of silence, I finally answer.

"Well it's their loss, and my gain. Bishop's been driving me crazy! She doesn't get me like you do."

"She hasn't had much time. It took me a while to get used to your... unique detective styles"

Hmm... Is that a compliment? I can't quite figure it out.

"Uh... Thanks... I think! Haha."

"You better be thankful! Haha."

"Well that's not all I'm grateful for. You know Bobby, I don't tell you this enough, but thank you."

"For what?"

"For being you. For caring enough to call me."

"Why would I not call you? You just had a baby that you can't keep. It's gotta be a hard time for you."

"Shut up Bobby. I'm not done. Having a baby changed me. It made me realize that I want this. I want a baby, I want a husband. But I don't want just any guy for a husband. Bobby, I want, I want..."

"What? What do you want Alex?"

"I want you! I want you to be the father of my children."

"Eames... You just had a baby, you're hormonal. You don't know what you're saying. Call me in a week. If you still feel this way, we'll go from there."

Holy shit! She just told me that she wants to marry me? She can't be serious. I have to be right. She has to just be saying that because she's sad that she can't keep this baby. That has to be right. She'll call me back later. I've gotta get some sleep. I'll probably get called in to work tonight.
