…only to catch a murderer?
7. Good News
There is a lot of work at the Squad and, working so closely together and living together outside work, their relationship grows more and more every day. Alex no longer starts with fright, if she awakes naked in Bobby's arms and Bobby doesn't fear anymore, that he'll wake up one day and find his life with Alex was just a nice dream. Everything simply fits.
For the past few weeks, Alex has been feeling tired and washed-out and now she knows why. This morning she visited her gynaecologist and she confirmed what Alex had already anticipated. In spite of taking prevention, she is seven weeks pregnant.
Now, how shall I tell Bobby? She thinks and hangs her coat in the cloakroom. Bobby is still in the office. A case with a death, young woman, Zoe Banks, does not let him go. He wants to do a few searches and sight a pair of files.
Alex rushes into the preparations for a romantic diner. She hums along to the songs on the radio and starts to grin, as she recalls a certain night. She knows exactly when it happened; the night of conception, New Year's Eve.
They'd said a relatively early goodbye to a dull party and celebrated the turn of the year simply at Times Square. On their way home, Bobby had made a move spontaneously on his more than willing wife, in a remote corner of the Bryant Park and seduced her on the spot.

Bobby arrives at home around eight o'clock. As he opens the door, he senses a delicate smell, gentle candle light in the whole house and a path of rose petals welcomes him. He slips quickly out of his shoes and takes off his coat. What's Alex up to now? He follows the path of petals carefully. It ends before Alex's closed study door and he hesitates for a moment. What will I find? On the door hangs a blue envelope. He pulls the envelope from the door and opens it. In it is a rose coloured card:
Bobby, my love, my companion, my friend, my confidant!
On New Year's Eve something happened which will completely change our life together.
In seven months you will have to open your study to me and let me put my desk next to yours. For the room you are standing before will be used otherwise.
I don't know how, but I still know exactly when and exactly where.
Opens the door and I'll tell you more.
~Alex ~
Bobby seized for the door handle and pressed it slowly down. He pushed the door carefully open and sees Alex in the same body-hugging, dark green silk dress she wore New Year's Eve His memories jumps to the hot and, at the same time cold New Year night in the small park and he blushes and begins to understand what Alex is trying to say.
Alex sits on her desk and smiles at Bobby. Her hands rest low on her belly and she has tears in her eyes. Bobby steps toward her and says: "Does it mean what I think?"
"Yes…we're going to be a real family."
Alex falls into Bobby's open arms and snuggles her face up to his chest. "I love you so much Bobby and…" She doesn't get any further, because Bobby's lips cover her mouth and he kisses her passionately.
"I love you so much, Alex…When will we be three?"
"I'm due in September..." Alex positively glows at the thoughts.
"Oh God, Alex I am so glad this happens, but how…how it is possible?"
"I asked Dr. Wilkins that too. She said also the pill does not prevent pregnancy one-hundred percent."
While Alex still reports the statistics of the birth-control pill, Bobby wanders with his mouth over as much as her as he can reach. At Alex's belly he stops and covers it with thousand soft kisses.
"Hallo, Baby, I'm your Daddy…I can't wait to hold in my arms…Hurry up…we're waiting for you."
Alex feels a contented warmth steal through her at Bobby's words. She feels so lucky. How could my life get better than this? At the same moment she notes that Bobby has managed to opens the hooks of her dress and that it is slowly sliding to the ground.
"How long does the chicken still need to cook for?" he asks as he helps Alex out of her panties.
"Another half-hour." Alex gasps.
"Then we have just enough time." Bobby says, as he pushes Alex carefully on the desktop and makes love with her just like they did on New Year's Eve night.
A/N:
I hope so much that the Bryant park is a nice park. Seen it at google earth, it was just the nearest to the Times Square.
The next chapter will last a dew more days than one week. It is still with my wonderful beta Claire...she has a lot of work with me ;o)
