Here's more with the team and a few other people ;) I don't own Leverage!

Colors and Calls

Sophie nuzzled up against Nate, still cold even under the covers. She was having a bit of a restless night, as she had still not gotten used to sleeping in the same bed as Nate yet. He wasn't a horrible person to sleep in the same bed with but she wasn't used to it yet. Her favorite part about sharing a bed was that sometimes she woke up clutching onto him and breathing in his scent. That always gave her a sense of comfort and security, which made her feel safe with him. Looking up at him with the sleep etched deep onto the lines of his face she pressed a kiss to his slightly parted lips.

"What Soph?" Nate grumbled and draped his arm over her.

"It's so bloody cold," She muttered.

Nate pulled the covers up higher and pulled her in closer. "Come 'ere I'll keep you warm."

She shivered against his chest and pressed her cold cheek to his burning shoulder. "Pretty close today in that hospital."

"A little too close for comfort especially with our baby on the way. That reminds me have you told what's-his-face yet?"

"Kyle, and no I haven't."

"Tomorrow go and ask him out to coffee or something and break up with him," Nate mumbled.

"Yeah, okay, whatever," Sophie sighed. She didn't even realize how quickly and easily she agreed with him. That would change soon.

"What colors are we painting the nursery?" Sophie asked as they walked around Home Depot. Sophie had gone out to coffee with Kyle and lucky for her he had dumped her first. She then decided to go to Home Depot, for reasons Nate didn't know until now.

"Well most colors are gender neutral except pink and purple."

"What about red?" Sophie asked as she started skimming her finger over paint swatches.

"No, it's to energy inducing," Nate waved her off.

"Or a nice sky blue?" Sophie handed him a paint swatch.

"Nah, to mainstream," He threw it on the little ledge.

Sophie frowned and put it back. "Well if you're going to be difficult why don't you choose something?"

"I'm not being difficult-" He stopped short when he saw Sophie glaring at him.

"Yeah...so why don't you stop arguing with me and pick out a damn color," Sophie growled, her arms crossed.

"If you're gonna be this moody three months in I'm going to be so dead by the time this is over."

Sophie groaned and rolled her eyes. "I am not moody!"

"Uh-huh," Nate started flipping through the paint colors and finally rested on a pastel green and yellow.

"So how's your wrist healing?"

"It's healing," Nate showed her his wrist, which was almost all the way healed. It was creating a fat scar across his wrist.

"Now that's something I'll never be clean of," Sophie said softly.

Nate cleared his throat and handed her the colors. "What about these two?"

"The yellow's nice but it's a bit bright. And I'm not too fond of the green" Sophie handed him the green and started looking at the yellows.

Sophie kept muttering no as she flipped through the colors.

"Do you need any help?" A female worker from behind them asked.

Nate said no at the same time Sophie said yes.

"Yes, we need help," Sophie grit her teeth slightly.

"What room are you looking at painting?"

"We're expecting a child so we wanted to start getting the nursery ready," Sophie said with a smile.

"Oh well congratulations!" The lady grinned.

"Umm, thanks" Sophie smiled. She hadn't really been expecting that.

They ended up settling on a yellow that they both liked after a lot of arguing.

Sophie walked downstairs in her pajamas and flopped down on the couch. She turned on a old silent black and white movie and watched it boredly. Nate was sitting at the kitchen table, sipping coffee and doing Sudoku. He had no urge to go sit down and watch the boring movie so he pretended to ignore her constant glances back at him. With a huff Sophie got up and went to go get some food.

"I know you're ignoring me," Sophie said as she pulled out a bowl and a spoon.

"I'm doing a Sudoku puzzle."

"That's boring," Sophie sighed and dumped some of the cereal into the bowl.

Nate peered at her over the edge of his coffee cup. "Isn't that Parker's cereal?"

"Yeah, so?" Sophie poured the milk in and went to go sit back down on the couch. Nate sighed and put down his master level Sudoku that was barely filled in and went to join Sophie on the couch.

"Got bored?" Sophie teased.

"Mmm, no, I'm just no good at master level Sudoku puzzles." Nate murmured as he snaked one arm around Sophie's waist.

"Yeah. Sure," Sophie teased him, brushing her lips against his. She smiled and went back to eating her (Parker's) cereal.

About 5 minutes later Hardison walked in. It was a bit odd because normally he came with Parker or Eliot.

"Hey," He said absent-mindedly.

"Sup," Hardison put his phone away and went to go sit down in one of the armchairs. He made the TV screen small enough for one monitor and brought up his game on another screen.

"We were watching that," Sophie looked at him.

"And you still can."

"Put it back on full screen before I get in my head to break your laptop," Sophie threatened, her face serious.

Hardison quickly put it on full screen and closed his laptop. He looked at her with a scared and surprised look. "You crazy!"

Sophie stuck her tongue out at him. Hardison stuck his tongue out at her when her back was turned. Parker then skipped in, unannounced as usual. She went straight for her stash of cereal, ignoring the other three.

"Who's been eating my porridge?" Parker demanded as she slammed her box of Cheerios on the counter.

"No one," Nate and Sophie replied together.

"Who's been eating my cereal?" Parker corrected and then saw Sophie trying to hide what she was eating. "Sophie?"

"Huh?" She asked with false innocence and wide eyes.

"This is my cereal," Parker said in a dead serious voice.

"I'm pregnant!" Sophie defended.

"Don't even pull that card on me!"

"I'd like to see you be in my place," Sophie retorted harshly.

"Do you know what happens when I don't get my daily bowl of cereal? It's like setting dry hay on fire! Boom! Bang! Pop! Pow!"

"Parker!" Nate interrupted, "calm yourself."

Parker growled and made herself a particularly large bowl of cereal.

"Yeah I'd like to see you with my mood swings," Sophie muttered angrily.

"Sophie," Nate warned, giving her a look.

"Nate."

Eliot was the last person to come in. He threw his stuff on the ground by the door and then plopped himself down on the last seat available on the couch.

"How'd paint shopping go?" Eliot asked.

Nate and Sophie exchanged a glance. "Fine."

"So what color is the little babies room gonna be?"

"It's a shade of yellow," Nate answered.

"Why didn't you choose the color after you find out what gender it is?" Hardison asked.

"Can we please just drop the subject of paint and colors! Nate and I spent forever arguing over it."

"You're being mean today!" Parker yelled.

"Well I don't care!"

"Sophie-" Nate gripped her hip tighter "-be nice."

"Ugh, whatever," Sophie muttered and quickly shoveled the rest of her cereal in her mouth.

"What do you think the baby'll look like?" Hardison asked curiously.

"I think it will have Sophie's hair and Nates eyes," Eliot commented.

Parker frowned. "Really? I think it'll be the other way around"

"If it's a girl I think it will look like Sophie but have Nates personality."

"Oh so their kid would be a complete dickhead?" Eliot said in a serious voice.

"I can hear you!" Nate yelled from his place on the couch.

"Cool!" The three of them shouted back.

"And so we're all clear he's learning how to fight first before you can teach him any nerd games," Eliot snapped at Hardison.

"One, you don't know if it's gonna be a he. Two, they ain't nerd games."

"Three, Nate and Sophie's kid is learning how to lock pick and jump off buildings first," Parker added in a small voice.

"NO!" Nate and Sophie shouted at her.

Parker flinched slightly. "Well Sophie's gonna teach it how to lie and Nate is going to teach it how to play chess and then use that strategy to bury his enemies. Why can't I teach it how to be a thief?"

"Because you don't teach little kids how to be thieves Parker," Eliot retorted at her harshly.

"Why not?" Parker asked innocently.

"Parker. Child. Thief."

Parker stared at him blankly.

Then there was a knock at the door. Nate got up to answer it and came face to face with a blonde woman with blue eyes.

"Hi is Sophie here?" The women asked politely, smiling slightly.

"Tara!" Sophie exclaimed and jumped off the couch to go greet her best friend.

"Hey Soph!" Tara hugged Sophie but then pulled away; her eyes narrowed at her friend. "What's this" She gently poked her friends stomach.

"I'm pregnant!" Sophie blurted out.

Tara's eyes went impossibly wide. "You're what?"

"Oh damn," Sophie cringed and then started backing away.

"Who? When? Why?"

"Nate's the father," She pointed to Nate who was standing by the door. "Um, I'm a little over three months in. And the why is a very long and complicated story."

"I'm all ears to why my grifter friend who is not supposed to be getting emotionally attached to anything is now pregnant."

0-0-0-0-0

"...and that's the why" Sophie had finally finished her long story.

Tara then turned to Nate. She made a very small (almost invisible) gap in between her pointer finger and thumb. "I'm about this close to punching you in the face."

"That's what everyone says."

"Well she actually would Nate so I suggest you don't test her," Sophie forewarned him.

"That reminds me," Parker suddenly said, "have you told Maggie yet?"

0-0-0-0-0

Nate nervously pressed the buttons on his phone and dialed Maggie's number.

"Hello?"

"Hi Maggie, it's Nate."

"Oh, is something wrong Nate?" Maggie asked worriedly.

"Um, no not exactly" Nate answered timidly. "You remember Sophie right?"

"How could I forget Sophie?" Maggie said in a happy tone, which surprised Nate.

"Well, um, how do I put this...?" Nate trailed off.

"Are you dating now?"

"No."

"Are you getting married?"

"No!" The words came out in a somewhat offended but also somewhat disappointed tone.

"Well then what's going on?"

"Sophie's...Sophie's...Sophie's pregnant and I'm the father," Nate stammered.

There was silence for a few seconds. "Congratulations!"

Nate let out a deep breath of relief. "Oh, I'm so glad you're happy! I was so worried what you were going to say."

"Of course I'm happy Nate! You-you get another chance now after Sam and all" Nate could hear her take a few deep breaths "How far along is she?"

"Just over 3 months"

"Well I can't wait to meet your little baby boy or girl."

Nate smiled a little at the words. "I'll talk to you later Mag."

"Okay, bye Nate."

"Bye."

The line went dead and Nate felt a huge ton of weight lifted off his shoulders.

"The news is out now!" Nate told Sophie.

"How does it feel?"

"Feels so nice not to have secrets from her" Nate yawned and stretched his arms over his head

Sophie laughed a little, "I'm sure."

"Just six more months and we'll have a beautiful baby girl or boy," Nate murmured as he pulled her into his arms.

I hope you liked it. I just couldn't go without putting Tara and Maggies opinion in there :)
