Okay, so this is my first fanfiction story. I've only recently starting watching this show and thought, after all this random spontaneous sex and nothing happened. So I throw a wrench in the original story. Will has not lost his job; the States Attorney is still investigating him. Alicia has broken up with him, so I'm placing this story a few weeks after the episode "Parenting Made Easy". Enjoy ;)

Chapter One: Damn Clock

It had been another late night for Alicia, another night she wished was spent with her kids. She wanted to dedicate all her free time to Grace and Zach, but how can she do that without any free time to begin with. She closes her laptop, realizing she was too tired to look over any more documents. The office is empty and the clock is showing 1:34am.

"Ugh, tomorrow," Alicia groans remembering the cross examination she still needed to prepare for. With a laundry list of things to do it made her wonder how she ever was able to fit Will into her hectic schedule.

Will. Her thoughts immediately fall back to him whenever she's alone. The way he gentle deflowers her in bed, one piece of clothing at a time, and then intensifies that desire with kissing trailing up her neck, and….. what was she thinking? She had given him up to focus more on her kids. She couldn't double think herself. She loved her kids and if protecting them meant giving up Will she had no regrets. At least she had to convince herself of that.

She gives up on prep, hoping on using Stern's method of a "spontaneous agreement" to pull off her court performance. She starts packing her stuff up and gets up to leave. The sudden feeling of nauseous and dizziness hits her pretty hard, almost dropping her to her knees. Grabbing the nearest trashcan to vomit she realizes something. The weeks of sleep deprivation have taken its toll. Deciding it was best that she not drive in this condition, she crashes at work. She would run home in the morning to change.

There wasn't a really comfortable place to sleep, especially close to a bathroom incase she got sick again. The one office that gave her the comforts of home was… Will's office. Complete with an oversized couch; the same couch he used to make love late at night with the blind's closed. And a bathroom; the same bathroom where they would have heated sex against the walls. She remembered trying so hard not to mown with him trying to stimulate every sensation in her body. Now, all those sex encounters seemed like a distant memory.

I wasn't just the sex. Alicia had tried hard not to cross the line from sexual friendship to an actual relationship. She couldn't imagine Will wanting a committed relationship. Not to mention that she was still married. But the why he made her feel….he missed it. It was how he made her laugh when life seemed so grim.

"No really. Please just consider it. Don't kick it until you try it," Will smiled, his lucky bat in hand.

"No honestly, I couldn't think of a better way to embarrass myself then to skinny dip," Alicia said, trying to not laugh too hard. They were working late in the office, but they couldn't be sure if anyone with still around. " With my luck there would be a reporter in the bushes".

They both laughed. Their conversation had moved away from work hours ago and they were now just talking endlessly about everything. Will dropped his bat and went to sit next to Alicia. Will brushed the loose curly bangs behind her ear. "I couldn't think of a better picture that would help sell newspapers."

At that moment she wanted to tell him how much he meant to her. How she was falling in love with him. But there time together was done.

Alicia fell asleep instantly, curled up on her favorite couch. Alone.

Chapter 2: Damn love

Will woke up alone, again, in his bed. For a moment he would pretend that Alicia was sleeping next to him, but reality would come crashing down and introduce the truth of the matter. They were over. Her reasons for leaving were solid; children, a douche bag of a husband and the public eye that seemed starved for new scandals. His own reasons should be good enough for them to stay apart. He was her boss. And yet, he couldn't help feeling miserable for not having her anymore.

Alicia was more than some attractive fuck. She was witty and smart, compassionate to help people. When she smiled at him he felt like it was his own. But it was over. He needed to focus on his grand jury. Alicia knew some details, but he didn't want to worry her. Also, it was a good distraction from their break-up.

Will finally pulled his head out of his ass and got out of bed. He couldn't let this affect his work, the one thing he really had left. He got dressed and left for another long day of work where he would return home to an empty house.

30 Minutes later he was at Lockhart, Gardner and Associates. As he rounded the corner to his office he saw something, or someone, lying on his couch.

"Um, What?," Will was surprised to see this someone in his office.

At first he didn't say anything, just stared at the beauty women sleeping on his couch. She had a long coat draped over her slim body and her hair had that bed head curl that gave her a wild appeal. Jess, she was so beautiful. What a way to wave a carrot in front of a starving horse.

Will had been the first in the office and was shocked to find a sleeping Alicia on his couch. He figured she had gotten too tired to drive home. Gently, he sat next to her. He couldn't resist. He placed a hand on the side of her face and kissed her on the forehead.

"Uhhh…what…who…Will," Alicia said opening her eyes to a sultry eye Will staring down at her. At first she assumed it was a dream, but this seemed all too real to be a dream. The realization of the moment hit her.

"Oh my god, Will I'm so sorry! It was late…I was feeling ill…I'm…"

"Alicia, its fine. I only wish my couch was more comfortable," Will assured an embarrassed Alicia, "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I think". She stumbled off the couch looking for her shoes,"I was hoping to sneak out before anyone saw me. Passing out on your bosses couch is a sign of a workaholic."

"Well then I have the perfect rehabilitation medicine," Will said handing Alicia his coffee.

"Best morning wake up ever, thank you," Alicia said shooting Will that smile. Feeling awkward that her boss/ex-lover was handing her coffee after…..wait, did he kiss her? No, it must have been a dream. Whatever the case, she needed to go and quick before anyone caught her like this.

There was a pause for a few second between them before Alicia broke their starring contest. "I should go before the kids get up."

"Yeah," Will said looking disappointed to see her go.

"Bye," Alicia turned back for one final look at what she wanted, but could never have.

"Bye"

…..

He couldn't move, even after she had left. He wanted to stay in the moment with her. There was always bad timing. Nothing would every change that.

…..

When Alicia got home she sprinted to the bathroom, feeling her stomach suddenly knot up again. This was getting weird now. What could possibly be making her so ill that she…. A thought occurs to her, making her white in the face with fear. It couldn't be. Theres no way I could be pregnant.

"Shit!"Alicia screamed, frustrated by the reality of what might be possible. Slowly she tried to work through the denial, rocking herself on the bathroom floor. After a few minute she became lucid enough to get up and settle the pregnancy scare question. Quietly, attempting not to wake her children, Alicia creeps out of the house and down the elevator to the nearest CVS store.

1 hour later….

"FUCK!," is the only thing Alicia can process to say after seeing a pink plus sign on her pregnancy test. The next thing that stuck to her mind was...

Ring, Ring

Will was calling

"Hey, I was just calling to make sure you were still ok with coming into court today. I seem to be working you too hard lately, so if you want I could replace you as second chair," Will still cared about her, more then he honestly should from an employer to an employee. Even after she broke up with him he was still concerned for her, asking about the kids and if she was happy. Truthfully, she missed him more than anything.

"Um…Will, we…we should meet up some place before court," Alicia was panicking on the other end, but trying not to reveal it. What if he rejects me all together? Maybe I shouldn't tell him….no, that would just cause more problem and more lies.

"Is everything ok, you sound tense," Too late, he knew something was up. She needed to get off the phone before she spilled her guts out, metaphorically and literally.

"Just meet me at the café outside the courthouse. Sorry, I really need to tell you face to face."

"Now you have me worried…"

"Will, just know whatever happens….we need to meet. Something has happened that I need to tell you." Alicia had no idea what would happen next. She hung up and got dress for disaster.

She hated complications, but this was a complication that she never thought would happen to her. It was going to be trematic enough to tell Will that she was pregent, but the kids. Peter. She blocked out all the horrible scenarios that could play out. DAMN, the one time she needed a drink more then anything. She needed to keep her nerve from exploding.

She went to the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator. Why do people do that? Is there an answer in here that explains what to do when your boss knocks you up.

"Mom, are you ok?"Grace had walked in obviously confused by her mothers odd behavior.

"Yeah, great," Alicia said with too much zeal that it would be almost obvious that she was lying. She hated lying to her kids, but she wasn't ready to tell them the truth about Will or the baby.

"Mom I think I know what wrong." Alicia was stunned, what does she say. Did Grace hear her talking to Will or was her daughter just that intuitive.

"Um, let me explain-,"

"Its cool mom, I know grandma can be a bit of a bitch sometimes. Zach and I are use to her looking through our rooms, so it doesn't surprise us that she would do it to you," Grace explained to her mom, obviously not knowing about the pregnancy.

"Yes..," Alicia said, freeing relived to have dodged a bullet."Um, I have to go to work. I'll see you tonight and make you you're favorite dish."

Alicia grabbed her stuff and started to walk out the door, but not before turning back to her daughter. "I love you. Bye, babe". And then she left to meet Will.
