They were sitting at their desks when Mike walked up.

He grinned at Alex and decided to mess with her.

He pointed to her neck "looks like you had a good night."

Her hand flew to her neck and Bobby blushed.

She muttered and warned him "shit! Mike you can't..."

Mike smiled and said "relax sweetheart I won't say anything. Just wanted to make sure that we were still on for tonight."

She nodded and said "7:00?"

He said "works for us. See you then."

He walked back to his desk as Carolyn came back.

Alex was still in semi shock and glared at Bobby "why didn't you tell me?"

He shrugged "I didn't realize you had one."

She grinned and rolled her eyes "sure. When do I not have one? I'll be right back!"

She reached into her purse and grabbed her tube of concealer.

She walked away and he grinned.

Alex walked into the bathroom and began covering her hickey. She smiled as she thought about last night. She was still on cloud 9.

She washed her hands and walked out of the bathroom.

Bobby smirked when he saw her sit back down.

She muttered and smiled "behave."

They went back to work.

Bobby's apartment was closer to the restaurant so they went by his place to get ready. Bobby had shaved much to Alex's dismay. He was wearing a khaki shirt with a black jacket and blue jeans.

She finished getting ready and stood back look at herself. She was wearing a sexy, low cut, red top and blue jeans with black knee high boots.

A voice boomed "you look beautiful. Do we really have to leave?"

She turned around and laughed. She brushed her finger down his cheek "you're the one who made the plans. Remember? And why did you shave that beard?!"

He grinned "I thought it was appropriate for tonight."

She glared at him for a moment then said "Yes, we have to go I've been dying to tell them all day about our engagement."

He picked up her hand and kissed the ring "alright. Let's go."

She grabbed his face and kissed him passionately. She pulled back and said "you look so sexy I couldn't help myself."

He smiled and squeezed her butt "so do you."

They held hands as they walked to the burger joint.

Mike and Carolyn were already in the booth and Mike grinned "It's about damn time! What took you guys so long?"

Alex glared "we were busy!"

Mike laughed he loved messing with her. She was like a sister to him.

Carolyn grinned "Mike leave them alone. I think they wanted to tell us something."

Mike said "smooth sweetheart."

Carolyn threw Mike a dirty look then smiled sweetly at Bobby and Alex "well?"

Alex stuck out her left hand and Carolyn squealed "I told you she'd say yes!"

Mike shook Bobby's hand and said "congratulations you guys. Were both happy for you guys."

Carolyn said "have you made any plans yet?"

Bobby put his arm around her shoulder and she held his fingers.

She said "were eloping and we would like you two to be our witnesses if you don't mind."

Mike smiled said "of course we don't mind."

They continued to eat and talk about their upcoming plans.

Alex heard Bobby mutter "shit."

Alex turned to Bobby as he removed his arm.

She said "what is it?"

Bobby said "the Captain is here with his wife Liz Rodgers."

Alex paled and quickly hid her hand.

Captain Ross and Liz walked up to them and he said "what's going on here?"

Mike cleared his throat and said "were just hanging out with friends Captain."

He narrowed his eyes and said "mhmm."

Liz hooked her arm through his and said "come on Danny. They're on their own time and were on ours. Let's go sit down."

She managed to lead him away and they all breathed a sigh of relief "good thinking Mike."

He said "hey I was covering our asses too. Speaking of are you guys going to tell him or keep the marriage a secret too?"

Carolyn punched his arm "Mike!"

Bobby said "that's what we wanted to talk to you about."

Bobby told him their idea and paused so they could process everything. Neither Alex or Bobby could read Mike and Carolyn expression which made them nervous.

Finally, Alex said "if you don't want to we understand. We don't want to be split up either."

Mike looked at Carolyn and she shrugged.

He said "can we think on it and get back to you?"

Bobby nodded "of course."

They continued to eat.

Meanwhile Danny and Liz had moved to another booth.

She sat on the same side as him and said "Danny what is it?"

He sighed "I think they are dating."

She said "who?"

He rolled his eyes "detective Goren and detective Eames! Probably even Mike and Carolyn. Did you see how they were dressed?"

Liz said "so what? I think they would make cute couples."

He glared at her "Liz!"

She shrugged "you know I'm right. They're on their own time Danny and you can't help who you fall in love with."

He leaned back and said "then I will have to tell the Chief of detectives and he will want them split up and I will lose my best team!"

She rolled her eyes "Danny forget the Chief. He is an pompus ass kisser! They deserve to be happy. Can't you just ignore it and let them continue to be partners? Besides you don't even know if they are dating."

He looked at her and said "why are you sticking up for them?"

She said "because I like them. They're good people."

He huffed "so what does that make me. An ass?"

She smiled softly and turned to cup his cheek "you're good man and my husband."

She kissed him.

Back at the booth where Bobby, Alex, Mike and Carolyn sat at:

They paid for their dinner and went home.

Bobby pulled into Alex's driveway about 9:45 p.m. and parked the car. He knew something was bothering her when she handed him the keys. She had been quiet most of the way home.

He said "Alex what's wrong?"

She looked at him and whispered "nothing."

He swore he heard her voice crack so he got out and quickly walked to her side and opened the door.

He touched her face and said "baby talk to me."

She turned and threw her arms around his neck. He rubbed her back as she spoke.

She said "Ross caught us."

He said "all he saw was 4 friends hanging out. There is nothing wrong with that."

She snuggled deeper into his arms "but he was suspicious I mean we were pretty dressed up for a casual restaurant."

He looked down her top and grinned "I know and you looked hot."

She pulled back and smiled "thank you but what we are we going to do?"

He said "nothing. We will let Mike and Carolyn talk and then we will get with them and go from there."

She sighed "Ross will be watching us like a hawk now. That means we probably won't be able to stay with each other as much and I'll have to be alone at my house while figuring out if I'm losing my mind because of Joe."

He said "easy baby. No one will keep me away from you. I know you hate being alone especially after your kidnapping and I don't like it either."

He lifted her chin and softly kissed her lips. He pulled back and she smiled.

He said "let's get you inside. It's getting chilly."

She nodded and hopped out of the truck.

They walked inside and turned on the light.

She felt so safe with Bobby because like he thought being alone in dark places for very long freaked her out after that whole Jo Gage thing.

"Bobby will you stay with me tonight?"

"Of course."

He slipped his arms around her and kissed her neck "ready for bed or do you want to watch a movie?"

She said "it's too early for bed."

He said "I know but you haven't been sleeping well so I thought you might be tired."

She said "I don't want to go to sleep yet so we can watch a movie if you want."

He nodded "why don't you get comfortable on the couch and I'll pick the movie."

She said "I'm going to change and I'll be right back."

She reached up to kiss him and then she headed to her bedroom.

She turned on the hallway light and the bedroom light.

She stole a blue NYPD sweat shirt from Bobby's dresser drawer that she had given him and brought it to her nose.

She could still smell his scent. She slipped it over her head. It fell down to her knees.

She headed back to the living room and saw Bobby on the couch waiting for her. He smiled when he saw her dressed in his shirt. He thought she looked so cute and sexy in them.

She said "lay down."

He did what she asked and then she crawled on him and laid her head in the nape of his neck.

He grinned "you're going to fall asleep on me aren't you?"

"No."

He heard the grogginess in her voice and smiled. He grabbed the afgan that laid on the couch and covered them up.

He pushed play and the movie started.

Just like he predicted not even 10 minutes later Alex was out cold. He watched the movie and let her sleep.

A couple of hours later he turned off the movie and woke Alex up.

He said "let's go to bed."

She said "I'm not tired anymore."

He smiled "no wonder you slept for two hours."

She smiled seductively "well now I want to play."

She pulled off Bobby's sweat shirt that she was wearing and was left in her black lace panties.

He hardened instantly and she leaned down to kiss him. He managed to maneuver them so that he was sitting up. She wrapped her legs around his waist and he stood up with her. He carried her to the bedroom.

He turned on the light and carried her to the bed. She pulled back to breath and said "wait!"

He said "what?"

She looked at the bed and noticed it was not made.

Worriedly, she said "Bobby the bed isn't made. Didn't I make it this morning?"

He said "we were running a little late maybe you forgot."

She said "I'm almost positive I made it! You don't think someone was in here do you?"

He frowned "who would come into your house?"

She made him put her down and she said "Joe?"

He said "you're worrying too much about this. Just try and relax and let me pamper you."

"But..."

He kissed her passionately and gently laid her on the bed.

He pulled back and said "honey, relax. I'm here; you're safe."

She moaned when he kissed her.

He moved his lips to her neck and she ran her fingers through his hair. He slipped his hand under her shirt and cupped her breast. He rolled her nipple between his fingers and switched to the other one. He used his other hand to run up her smooth legs. He cupped her over her panties and she whimpered.

He took off her shirt and slid her panties down her legs. She watched him toss them across the room and she laughed. He kissed down her body. He moved between her legs and placed her legs over his shoulders. He began to eat her pussy.

She moaned and panted. He heard her say his name over and over. Soon she clamped her legs around his neck and held his head in place. She arched her back and came and shouted "Bobby!" He licked her juices up.

She collapsed on the bed breathing heavily.
He smiled as she caught her breath.

She looked at him and said "come back up here."

He crawled up her body and kissed her.

She said "why am I the only one that's naked?"

He quickly stripped and she grabbed his penis. He was already hard.

She grinned and said "let me take care of that."

She disappeared under the sheets. He felt her lips around his cock and he groaned and closed his eyes.

He said "come back up here or I'm going to come."

She continued to suck him and she felt him ooze in her mouth. She sucked him dry and crawled up his body.

She smiled and he said "that was wonderful but you didn't have to do that."

She cupped his cheek "I know but I wanted to."

He quickly rolled them over until she was underneath. He held his penis against her opening and coated himself in her juices. He slowly inserted himself and paused for a moment allowing her to adjust to his size. She moaned and closed her eyes.

Bobby commanded "open your eyes sweetheart."

She opened them and saw the love he felt for her. She felt him take her hands and put them over her head. He began moving.

She wrapped her arms around his waist and he kissed her lips. Their tongues fought for dominance. She finally managed to free her hand and she ran them all over his back.

She whispered "harder!"

He thrusted deeper and faster. He buried her face in her neck and kissed it.

Alex laid there enjoying his attention but she something caught her eye. She had heard a noise and looked toward the window and saw 2 familiar eyes looking back at her. She screamed and pushed Bobby off of her.

Naturally, Bobby freaked out "what's wrong?!"

Alex pulled the sheets up to her neck and said "Bobby there was someone by the window!"

He hopped out of bed and looked for his pants "are you sure?"

She nodded "of course I'm sure; he looked right at me!"

Bobby grabbed his gun and ran outside.

Alex quickly got dressed and went outside to help Bobby.

He was on the roof and Alex shouted "did you find anything?"

He came back down holding something.

He and said "I found a gun."

She frowned "a gun? Let me see."

He reluctantly handed it to her and as she inspected it she paled.

She whispered "Bobby this was Joe's."

He put his arm around her and he said "how can you be so sure?"

She looked up hopeful at him and said "I felt the engraving. His initials were carved in it as a birthday present from my father. So I'm not going crazy?"

He kissed her head "no, you're not but I need to figure out what the hell is going on here! Come on sweetheart let's get you back inside its much to cold for you to be outside in that flimsy nightgown."

She said "I'm not going back in there!"

He took the gun from her and cupped her face and kissed her.

"Ali, I doubt he's coming back here tonight but if you want we can pack a bag and go to my place."

"Can we please go to your place? I don't feel comfortable here anymore."

He brushed his fingers down her cheeks "whatever you want."

He guided her back inside and they got dressed and packed.

30 minutes later they were back at his place.

She walked into the living room and looked at him "now what?"

Bobby said "we need to get Ballistics over to your house and figure out where this gun came from."

She said "no!"

He turned to look at her with a confused look on his face "no?"

She sighed "Bobby if they go to my house they will know we are sleeping together!"

He smiled and said "we're not just sleeping together we're engaged."

She smiled slightly "I know but I'm not ready to tell the Captain yet he will split us up!"

"I don't want to be split up either but your safety is more important. What is really bothering you?"

She bit her lip and said "Joe is back."

He nodded "so you keep saying."

She said "I'm worried about him destroying the life we've built together; technically I am still married to him. It took us long enough to admit our feelings and I don't want to lose you!"

He wrapped his arms around her and tucked her head underneath his.

"Alex, you're not going to lose me. Joe had his chance with you and he blew it! I don't know why he wants you back all of a sudden but he can't have you...you're mine now."

She laughed "yours huh?"

He kissed the top of her head "that's right. Do you have a problem with that?"

She sighed and rubbed her face against his chest "absolutely not. I like being yours."

Bobby said "first thing in the morning we will talk to ballistics and hold off telling Ross as long as possible."

She sighed "okay."

He said "now I believe we were interrupted early."

She finally smiled and looked up at him "what we going to do about that?"

He threw her over his shoulder gaining a laugh from her and he carried her to his bedroom.

He kicked the door shut.
