Summary: He missed her the
moment she went on maternity leave...
He missed her the moment she went on maternity leave. Even though Alex would still hang around and help with paperwork, keep him in line, make sure he didn't scare off his temporary partner, he felt like she was gone. Goren missed her gentle touches. How she'd brush his hand with her's at a particularly gruesome crime scene. How she'd look up from whatever she was working on to catch him watching her, and simply brush it off with a gentle smile.
And then she couldn't even come into work. He was left with Bishop. Virtually alone with his temporary partner who continually gave him weird looks, disregarded him at crime scenes, and always managed to stumble clumbsily into his personal space.
But it all seemed worth it when he gazed into the pretty brown eyes of her nephew, and saw the smile on her sister's face.
She had done a good and selfless thing. How could he be mad at her for that?
