"Chase! Wake up!" Lara yelled as she walked into his room.

"Geez someone is in a mood this morning." Chase mumbled sleepily.

"Yeah well that happens when you're six months pregnant." Lara said as she walked into the kitchen.

"Morning." Dean said with a smirk on his face.

"Morning. Grumpy pants here woke me up." Chase pouted.

"What are you smirking about?" Lara asked grabbing her toast.

"Nothing." Dean said wrapping his arms around her.

"Right. I'm going to leave before you go sappy on me." Chase said grabbing his car keys/

"Bye." They both called as he walked out the door.

At HQ

"Morning Lara." Vince called as they walked up the stairs slowly.

"Yeah morning Vince. You don't need to say it because I already know. Maternity leave." Lara said easing herself down into her chair.

"Correct Deano, Lachie wants you to pick him up from the slammer." Vince said as Dean rolled his eyes and left.

"What have you done?" Lara asked looking up as Lachie came up the stairs.

"Got into a fight with some kid." Lachie said as he logged into his computer.

"Yeah that was smart." Lara said punching his arm playfully.

"Look Lara. Just shut up." Lachie yelled walking out the door.

"Oi. Don't you dare speak to her like that." Vince said pulling him up. "She was bloody joking okay. Drop it and get back up there. You're on desk duty till further notice."

"Fine." He replied, stomping back upstairs and sitting at his desk again.

Lara stood up and walked towards the stairs.

"Where do you think you're going missy?" Vince asked watching her stop on the second step.

"Downstairs to talk to the others." Lara replied, continuing on her way.

Downstairs

"Lara. What are you doing down here?" Dean asked as she pulled up a chair.

"Got bored upstairs." Lara replied shortly as she looked at her nails.

"Right. Vince scared you off with too much paperwork probably." Jordan said smirking.

"Shut up." Lara said smiling.
