TWO MONTHS LATER
Mike got up when he heard a knock on his front door, he opened his apartment door to see Carolyn.
"Hey, come in. It's been a while."
"I know," she walked in and he shut the door. "I need to tell you something."
"Lets talk, what did Keller do this time?"
Keller was Carolyn's partner, he often made Carolyn want to punch him. Carolyn was not one to punch someone but he came close.
"It's what you did." She sat dwn across from him and then put a hand up, "I'm sorry, that came out wrong."
"Caro, whatever I did, I'm sorry."
"I know, I need to talk to you and you need to make a few decisions."
"Let's talk then, what is it?"
"I'm pregnant. I'm seven weeks, that makes conception around that case we worked together before I transferred back. Now I'm having the child because I don't believe in abortion. I need to know if you'll either be part of the child's life or not, Mike?"
Mike looked at her and stood up, walking around the couch to the bar, he placed his hands on it, leaning against it. Carolyn watched him run a hand through his hair and breathe heavily.
"Caro, you know me like no one else. I would never leave you with my...our child alone. So it's yes, I want to be part of our child's life." He turned to find her nodding, she smiled.
"Good, I knew you would but I had to be sure." She walked around to him. "Mike, I need to know how we'll work this out. I know you had a broken home and you don't want to have your child being brought up in a broken home, I don't either...so?"
"How do you feel about dating throughout the pregnancy?" Carolyn smiled and nodded.
"We'll try it." She smiled as she looked at him.
