I haven't been able to let go of the alternate universe I created for "To Live Again", I had so much fun writing that story and so many of you liked it - the number reviews and follows, as well as the number of hits it received told me that. Here's the sequel. It'll be a series of one-shots, focusing on Annie and Auggie's life as a married couple and as parents.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Annie, Auggie or any other character borrowed from Covert Affairs. Just my universe. ;o)

-1. It's not a thermometer Auggie...-

Auggie was surprised to find the house quiet when he got home from work a Wednesday afternoon in the middle of October. Annie's car was in the garage and he'd expected to find her in the office working or in the kitchen preparing dinner. The office was dark and the kitchen was abandoned. He quickly checked the table in the hallway to see if Annie had left him a note. Nothing.

"Annie! Are you here?" he called down the hallway toward the master bedroom.

"Bathroom," she called out.

Auggie quickly made his way to the master bathroom. Annie was sitting on the edge of the toilet seat with what looked like a thermometer in her hand. What he didn't understand what why she was staring anxiously at it.

"Annie? Are you okay? Do you have a fever?"

Annie snorted. "This isn't a thermometer Auggie."

Auggie was confused for a few seconds, until realization dawned on him. It was a pregnancy test. They had been married for almost 15 months and they'd been trying to get pregnant since their honeymoon. Trying meant that Annie had gone off the pill and they'd decided to let nature take its course.

"What does it say?"

"I don't know. I didn't want to look at it alone. I just froze…" Annie's voice trailed off. Auggie moved closer and grabbed her free hand.

"How long have you been sitting here?"

"A while…"

"Annie!"

"A couple of hours."

Auggie shook his head. "Well, I'm here now. Shall we?"

Annie nodded and held the display up for Auggie to see. He took a deep breath and looked at the tiny screen.

"So...?" Annie asked in a small, trembling voice.

"I'm guessing a smiley face is good?" Auggie queried as a smile started spreading across his face.

"Absolutely! Oh my god! Auggie! We're having a baby!" Annie squealed with excitement and jumped from her seat and seconds later she was sitting in Auggie's lap. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her in for a tight hug and then a passionate kiss.

"Finally," he whispered into Annie's hair.

"We have to get it confirmed by my doctor before we start spreading the news, but this is supposed to be the best, most accurate test on the market, so we can be pretty sure the result is right."

Two days later Annie had an appointment with her doctor and he confirmed that she was indeed pregnant. She was about eight weeks along and she was due to give birth in May. Auggie had an important meeting at work and hadn't been able to go with her to the doctor. Now she was impatiently waiting for him to get home from work so she could share the good news with him. She tried to kill time by working on a translation assignment she'd received that morning, but she couldn't focus and her progress was slow. At 5:20 in the afternoon she finally heard Auggie's car in the driveway and the garage door open. She quickly saved her work and shut down the computer, before she walked down the hall to the garage. She opened the door just as Auggie transferred from the car to his wheelchair. Just as he turned to head up the ramp to the door he realized that his wife was leaning against the doorframe.

"I take it the doctor had good news?" he asked as he saw the wide smile on her face.

"Very. We'll be parents in May," Annie answered.

"For real?" Auggie asked as he made his way up where Annie was standing, a little boy grin spreading across his face.

"For real. We did it Auggie. In seven months time we'll be parents."

"C'mere Mrs. Anderson," Auggie said as he tugged on Annie's hand. She leaned down and they shared a passionate kiss. "Wanna go out and celebrate? It's Friday and we haven't been out for a while."

"Sure. But first I'd like to share the news with our families. How about you?"

"I agree. We have some phone calls to make."

Hope you're along for the ride; more to come soon.
