Elizabeth sat on the couch in the living room reading a book. She could hear Josh in the upstairs bathroom getting ready for the day. Taking a sip of her orange juice she felt a small kick in her stomach. Yes, Elizabeth was pregnant, about eight months pregnant to be exact. She laughed softly setting her orange juice back down on the coffee table and cradled her pregnant belly with one hand as she continued to read.

After about ten minutes Josh finally came down the stairs, showered and dressed. Elizabeth had recently developed a habit of waking early in the morning. Most likely a pregnancy thing she assumed. It was Saturday so Josh didn't have work, and Elizabeth was on maternity leave so they had they day to themselves.

"Mornin beautiful." Josh said as he gave Elizabeth a kiss on the forehead and headed into the kitchen. The kitchen and living room were divided from the stairs and Josh disappeared as he turned the corner. Elizabeth could hear Josh swing the fridge open.

"I'm craving pancakes if you're in the mood for making breakfast." Elizabeth spoke up for Josh to hear. She set her book on the coffee table next to her orange juice.

Josh's head poked around the corner, "Well it's a good thing I'm here to make you those pancakes." He winked and headed back into the kitchen. Elizabeth smiled and reclined in the couch, propping her feet up on the coffee table. She had grown more and more uncomfortable as the pregnancy went on. She could never find a comfortable position but she was excited nonetheless. Closing her eyes to relax she could hear Josh mixing all the ingredients together.

"You get any sleep last night, Blondie?" Josh's voice echoed into the living room. His deep southern drawl was something Elizabeth would never get tired of.

She opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the kitchen she could see eggs on the counter and a bowl on the island and little glances of Josh making his way around the kitchen, most likely looking for a clean pan. "Got enough." She answered and adjusted herself on the couch again in attempt to get comfortable, apparently a lost cause at this point.

"Heard you get up pretty early this morning." Josh's voice came in again.

Elizabeth gave up on adjusting herself and pushed herself off the couch. "Seems to be earlier every morning." She sighed as she made her way into the kitchen. As she turned the corner she saw Josh in the middle of flipping a pancake. She was greeted with a smile, his charming smile, dimples and all.

Josh turned and leaned up against the counter next to the stove, watching the raw batter carefully as to not burn it. "At least you're not gettin' tired during the day."

Elizabeth laughed sweetly and nodded, "this is true." She stepped into the pantry and grabbed the syrup and set it on the island.

Josh poked at the pancake with his spatula, "just a couple more months." He said with a small grin as he placed the pancake on a plate. "You're doin' great." He added and poured more batter onto the hot pan. "Better than I would." A small chuckle escaped his lips and smiled up at Elizabeth once more.

Elizabeth's phone rang from upstairs. She rolled her eyes with a small sigh it was most likely the hospital. Her co-workers had been calling ever since she left on maternity leave. Elizabeth lead a team of OBGYN's and apparently faced problems every other day that they just had to have her consent on. It was growing to be quite annoying. She made her way up the stairs into the bedroom and snatched her phone off the bedside table.

Missed Call From Ashley

Elizabeth unlocked her phone but didn't bother to call back, she had faith her team could figure out anything that happened while she was gone.

She headed back down the stairs and set her phone on the kitchen table and took a seat in one of the dining chairs. Josh had set out a plate of pancakes in the center of the table and was grabbing two glasses of milk. He set a glass in front of Elizabeth and took the chair directly across from her.

The both filled their plates with pancakes and started in on light conversation about the baby's room and any last minute purchases that they would have to take care of. After they finished Sawyer cleared the plates and set them in the sink. He walked back over to Elizabeth and helped her up out of her chair.

He held her in his arms and rested one hand on her stomach while Elizabeth rested her head on his chest. "It gets more and more real every day." Josh's voice was calm and peaceful.

Elizabeth lifted her head up off his chest. "You're not gonna get cold feet on me are you." She grinned and squeezed his hand jokingly.

"Just because I got a little nervous on our wedding day doesn't mean I'm gonna do the same now." Josh defended himself.

"You were missing the whole morning, Josh." Elizabeth stated very matter-of-factly.

"Miles knew where I was the whole time." Josh said with another grin. His phone buzzed in his pocket. He let Elizabeth out of his arms and took a quick glance at his phone. "Speak of the devil!" He wiggled his phone in the air and answered it.

"What's up Miles?" He asked and furrowed his brow a bit. Elizabeth smiled and grabbed the syrup off the table and put it back in the pantry. She leaned her back up against the counter and watched Josh. She truly did love him. Even though their marriage had a bit of a rocky start, which Josh refused to admit, she couldn't ask for a better husband. "It can't wait until Monday?" Josh's voice grew annoyed.

A frown forced its way onto Elizabeth's lips she knew exactly what that meant. Josh would have to head into the station. Josh didn't have much of a weekend last week either, even though he was home he was glued to his laptop working on a case that had been demanding almost all of his attention lately.

Josh hung up his cell and shoved it back into his pocket. He looked up at Elizabeth and sighed. "Gotta head into the office for a few hours." His face was as upset as hers.

"It's alright." Elizabeth forced a smile and walked over to Josh giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Don't work too hard." Her hands rested on his chest and they shared a kiss that was definitely overdue. Josh's kisses never failed to make Elizabeth weak in the knees.

"I'll be back as soon as I can." He promised and headed for the front door, grabbing his keys and leather jacket on the way out.

Elizabeth smiled and watched him pull out of the driveway through the window. She appreciated how hard Josh worked, but sometimes she did wish they could just take a break from the world and go away somewhere to escape the responsibilities of the world.

She walked into the living room and realized she left her glass on the coffee table. As Elizabeth picked up the glass she heard her phone go off once more, but this time it wasn't a phone call. Assuming it was a text from Ashley she was in no hurry to check it. But, she felt inclined to see who was trying to contact her. She put the empty glass into the sink and grabbed her phone from off the kitchen table.

It was a Facebook notification. It's Coleen McGregor's Birthday Today!

The name McGregor stood out to Elizabeth. That was not a name she had heard or thought about in a long time, although, many good memories came along with this name. And one memory she had chosen to forget that still made her heart ache to this day.
