Hi! It's me. I just want to know who's still reading this because I really don't want to waste my time thinking and writing if no ones going to read it. So could you please review to let me know? Or I'll just stop this story. Thanks.


It's been a week since you last saw Natara. You last saw her at her wedding when she said no to Oscar. You wonder why she said no. The day before she was happily in love with him then the next she ran out on him. You find it very peculiar of her. Your thoughts are interrupted by banging on the front door.

"Just a minute!" You open the door and Natara is standing at the doorway, cheeks tear stained, bloodshot eyes and her nose has gone red. "Natara…" She flings herself into your arms. You just stand there with her in your arms and she has her head on your shoulder. You can hear her softly crying, stopping then starting. You were stood there for at least fifteen minuets before she finally looked up at you.

"Can I come in?"

"Yeah… Sure" You were lost for words. You've never seen anyone so sad. You know it must be more than just her falling out of love. She wouldn't be so distraught if it was just that.

"Thanks." You step aside to let her in. You close the door behind you. And she sits down on the couch

"Is there anything you want?"

"No, thank you." You sit down next to her. She rests her head on your shoulders. She occasionally starts sobbing again. You wished that you knew what was going through her mind. Her sobbing slowly comes to a stop. "Thanks, and I kind of got your shirt a bit wet."

"It's ok. So could you please tell me what happened."

"I found out that Oscar was cheating on me." You feel fury coursing through your veins. How could her take advantage of her like that? Does he not know that people like you would die for a girl like her and he just goes ahead and cheats on her.

"I swear, Nat, I'll kill him! No one should treat you like that."

"Don't. It's not like that! Sure what he did was horrible but now I'm single again. And I can focus more on my career." Her career? Does that mean you as well? Or does it mean the cases?

"You were too good for him anyway." She looks down and smiles, obviously embarrassed "I'm serious. You're beautiful, smart, quick witted and any man would be lucky to have you."

"Aw. Thank you."

"There's been something I've been meaning to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I…" The sound of her phone interrupts you.

"Sorry. It's my mom calling to check on me." You hear a few arguments between Natara and her mother. Natara hangs up annoyed. "Oh my God! She is so annoying! I've only been single for a week! I'm not ready to start dating! So what were you about to say?"

"Nothing. It doesn't matter." Your heart broke as you said them four words. It did matter, it always will. You wish that it wasn't so complicated. You just want a normal relationship. You and Natara are sat in an awkward silence for a long time, until she says

"I need to go. I've got a busy day of apartment searching tomorrow." She stands up and walks to the door. "See you later." She walks out of the door. Closing it gently behind herself. You hate how the girl you love is finally single and she doesn't want a relationship.

"Stupid Oscar." You mutter to yourself as you get your phone to check your messages. You have got a text from Blaise

"Hi. We haven't yet talked about what we could name the baby. What names do you think?" You think about what you could call your child. It seems so strange. Your child. It all seems to be going too fast. Too fast to stop and think. You wonder what your child would be like. Would it take after you and Blaise and be a detective? Or take a different career track? You know it will have blue eyes because you and Blaise both have blue eyes. Will it be a boy or girl? The only thing you can't think of is what to call it. You text back

"I'm not sure. Could we talk about it later, at Sean's?" You await for a reply. You think about what you could call it. Your phone vibrates. It's a reply from Blaise.

"Sure!"

"I'll pick you up about 7."

"Ok. See you then." You look at the time, 6:15. You start to get ready. You start to think again about what you could call it. The only name you can think of is Robin. It's just whether or not Blaise will like it. You can't think of any other name. You look back at the clock. It's 6:45. You finish getting ready and go to Blaise's apartment block.

The car ride over to Sean's was mainly discussing baby names. It would make it a lot easier if you knew the gender. Or if it was planned. You know that it's tougher on Blaise than it is on you. Especially because she doesn't want to move in with you or even be together. But that's her choice. You tried to make it easier for her but she just refused. She just kept saying that she didn't want to get in the way. You always kept responding that she wasn't but she never listened. In a sense the car ride was longer than the dinner. It was quite short. You mainly remember going out on to the beach. You and Blaise were walking along by the ocean. You heard the sound of footsteps coming up behind you.

"Mommy!" You turned around to see a four year old girl run up and hug Blaise

"What the?" You try not to laugh at Blaise's confusion.

"Alex!" You see a woman run up to the little girl. "Don't run away from me!" The small girl looks up at Blaise then at the other woman.

"Mommy!" She lets go of Blaise and gets picked up by the other woman. She turns to face you.

"Sorry about Alex. She's only just discovered that fish are in the sea."

"It's ok. She's only young." Blaise smiles at Alex but she just turns away

"Stranger danger!" You find it funny how a moment ago she was hugging her but now she doesn't like her.

"Again, I'm sorry. We'll leave you two alone." She notices Blaise's baby bump "And congratulations." She walks away with Alex in her arms. Blaise turns to you.

"Aw. That little girl was so sweet!"

"Ok, so hugging you then ignoring you is sweet? I doubt that'd be the same reaction if I did that."

"It's cute when a four year old does it!"

"But not me."

"I'm not even going to answer that… But still did you hear her name? Alex. That's such a pretty name."

"So if our kid's a girl, your suggesting we should name it after the random four year old that thought you were it's mom?"

"Yes."

"Ok then. What about if it's a boy?"

"Then we could call it Luke."

"Great. So I guess were set on names."

"Perfect!"

"It's just…"

"It's just what?"

"Who's apartment is it going to live at?"

"Mine for the first six months but after that I think we should take it in turns. Like you have the baby for a week then I have it for a week."

"I guess that seems fair."

"Oh yeah! My next ultrasound is tomorrow. If you come I'd appreciate it."

"Of course. I'll be there."

And you were. The doctor told you that you were having a girl. You got another picture. You kept it this time though. You traced the outline of it on the picture. You started smiling like an idiot. It all only just sinks in. Your going to be a daddy.
