Surprise
I don't own the characters or receive any money for this story, just playing.
Stephanie lets herself into Ranger's apartment on seven. "Ranger?"
"In here, Babe."
She goes in to the office and sees Ranger seated at his desk, typing on his laptop.
"I thought you had another week of downtime before going back to work?"
"I do, but I was finishing the end of month reports for Tank. He is swamped and I said I'd help out. I was going stir crazy sitting here doing nothing. Two men are out of town on assignments and the new men we hired aren't up to speed yet."
"Is there anything I can do to help out?"
"Yes, you can work on accounts receivables and payroll. That plus a few searches would really make a difference."
"Ok, I'll go down and help out in a minute. I want to show you something first." She takes an envelope out of her purse and hands it to Ranger.
He opens it up and takes out a picture. "What am I looking at Babe?"
"A sonogram." Ranger is stunned into silence.
"When did this happen?"
"A few weeks ago when you were staying at my apartment when Julie was abducted. Remember you said you were really good in the shower? Turns out that was true!"
"Can we talk about this tonight Babe? Have dinner with me."
"Okay Batman, I'll be back."
