Chapter 7

"Happy?" Paige asked, walking over to her pregnant friend that was on the couch.

"Yeah?" Happy looked up from her pile of work debriefs for homeland.

"Walter wants me to talk to you about Maternity Leave."

"What about it?"

"Do you know how early or an exact date when you were thinking about it?"

Toby walks over and sits next to Happy. "I think you should start 3 weeks before your due date, just incase our little angel is early."

"Aren't you going on paternity leave with her?" Paige asked.

"I didn't think Walter would let me." Toby stated.

"Well it was kind of assumed that you wouldn't leave her home alone when she's so close to popping."

"Popping?!" Happy asked. "I'm not a balloon."

"It's an expression." Paige explained.

"I don't like it." Happy pouted.

"So you guys will have 4 months after the baby comes to take time to adjust and be a family of three. If you need an extra week we'll understand. All while paid too.

"Thanks Paige."

"You're welcome. Now that everything has been discussed I can give Walter the plan."

Paige gets up and Toby smiles at Happy. He leans down kissing her head. "I'm so excited to meet baby Quintis."

"Gracie. Her names Gracie as of last night. Boy named to be determined. We need boy names chosen to,Toby."

"Tobias Jr. Obviously."

"No. Veto"

"Why?" A pout grows on his face.

"Because I said so." Happy says, raising her eyebrows.

"You are already sounding like a mother." Toby says, a smile clear on his face.

With that he walks away and over to his desk. Happy watches him carefully. Once he reaches his desk Happy focuses back on her paperwork. Cabe comes in declaring a case from homeland.

"A giant electric power plant has gone on lock down trapping 4 workers inside. We need to figure out what is going on by hacking into their system."

"On it" Walter calls from his desk. "Sly hack in also." Sly gets in easily.

"I'm in. Did they even have hack protection?"

"I don't think so."

Everyone soon gets into the groove of the case. Rushing around to the different computers and giving ideas. Happy sat at the table in the middle of the room. There was a computer on the table. Toby sat beside her, watching the screen, subconsciously laying his hand on her lower back.

They work for hours and finally finish. Happy is exhausted and leaning gently against Toby. Her head on his shoulder to keep her from falling. Happy's legs feel like jelly.

"I think she's a little tired. I'm gonna get her home." Toby says.

"K. See you tomorrow." Paige says. The rest of the team follow with a mix of goodbyes, see you tomorrow, and goodnights.

Toby opened Happy's door for her and she was too tired to argue with him. Once Toby came around the driver's seat and got in, he looked over finding her head against the window already asleep. He smiled and started the car.

The drive home was quick and he opened her door when he parked outside of their apartment. He saw how she barely got out of the car without his help for balance. Instead of struggling to help her inside, he lifted her up and carried her once he got inside he went straight for the bed.

He eyes opened as she removed her own shoes and most of her clothes. Toby grabbed one of his shirts and helped her into it. She crawled under the covers.

"You're getting a little to far along for me to carry you, sweetheart." Toby says, getting himself undressed and into bed.

"are you calling me fat Doctor Curtis?" Happy says with a dangerous tone.

"No. You will gain weight because you are creating a human. As our baby grows causing your uterus to expand making your tummy grow. Yes that does mean you're body will weigh more."

"Whatever. I understand. I was messing with you."

"Oh good" he pulls her close, an arm protectively around her.

Happy falls asleep and Toby decides he should do the same.

AN~ Sorry that I haven't updated in forever. I guess the show ending hit me hard.
