A/n: Its almost halfway through February, this year will be over before we can blink. But until then here is another chapter

Chapter 10:

Scotty's first day at the FBI was rather uneventful, he spent most of in the personal office filling out paperwork and being issued his gun and new ID. Lilly had texted him in the middle of the day to inform him that she had gotten an appointment with Dr Palmer at 5:30 that evening and that his mother was going to hang onto the kids a little while longer.

Now he had something else to focus on rather than the monotonous paperwork, he was going to see his new baby for the first time. It had taken all of his restraint not to call every member of his family to inform them of the impending arrival a new Valens, but he kept his promise to keep it quiet for now.

After what felt like the 9000th form was filled out, Jack stuck his head into the admin office and chuckled "Gotten writer's cramp yet?" he asked jovially.

Scotty shook his wrist to try and get the blood circulating again "yeah, just about"

"Well I thought I'd come and tell you that it's knock off time, wanna come and grab a beer with the guys from the unit, you can meet a few of em'"

Scotty shook his head "can't, I promised my wife that I would meet her downtown"

Jack smiled "That part I don't miss about being married, being under the thumb" he joked

"Nah, it ain't like that" Scotty protested

Jack shrugged "maybe next time then, usually meet up on Friday nights after work. You should bring Lilly with you"

"Sure, I'll ask her. But it'd difficult to get a sitter for the triplets" Scotty stood up and picked up his jacket "I better get going or I'm gonna be late"

"Ok, well see you tomorrow"

"Yeah, see you tomorrow"

Scotty pushed open the office door, finding the waiting room deserted. Lilly was the only one waiting and he walked over to sit beside her "Hey Querida"

Lilly smiled and took his hand "How was your first day?"

Scotty rolled his eyes "Paperwork, paperwork and more paperwork"

Lilly pressed a kiss to his cheek "Sorry"

Scotty shrugged "tomorrow should be better, Jack is gonna get me in on the case he is workin. He wants to know if you wanna come with the gang for their Friday night drinks. Jack has been looking forward to meeting you"

Lilly smirked "I'll have to have a word to him about keeping you out of trouble" and Scotty chuckled, his hand coming to rest on her leg.

Dr Palmer came into the waiting room "Lilly, Scotty, you ready?"

They both stood up and followed Dr Palmer down the hallway to his office "Thanks for seeing us this late" Lilly said as she entered in the his exam room and sat down.

"It's no problem, believe me your saving me from dinner with my in-laws" Scotty grinned "so, you think you might be pregnant?"

Lilly nodded "I took a pregnancy test yesterday and it was positive, I've been feeling sick and I'm a few days late"

Dr Palmer nodded "sounds like it, I'll get a urine sample to confirm and if you are I'll draw some blood to see it everything is healthy"

Lilly took the sample container from Dr Palmer's outstretched hand and headed into the bathroom.

"Well, congratulations you're pregnant" Dr Palmer exclaimed. The couple beamed and Scotty leaned over and pressed a kiss to her cheek. "I'll draw some bloods, I can get you the results in a few days but for now I can do a sonogram so you can get the first look at your baby"

Lilly moved to sit on the examination table and Dr Palmer handed her a sheet "Take down your pants and underwear and drape the sheet over yourself, I'll be right back with the sonogram machine" Scotty helped Lilly up onto the table and covered her lower half with a sheet.

The doctor came back in pushing the ultrasound machine in front of him.

"I'll do the examination first and then draw the bloods"

Scotty pulled a chair up next to the table and took Lilly's hand in both of his, holding it up to his lips.

"Alright Lilly, scoot down a bit more towards me and put your legs up in the stirrups"

Lilly did as she was instructed and Dr Palmer slid the sonogram probe underneath the sheet. She winched as he inserted the probe "Sorry Lilly, I know this is uncomfortable"

"That's an understatement" she murmured and Scotty squeezed her hand gently

"Ok, let's see what we have here..." He examined the screen, his face full of concentration "Yep, right there" The grainy image froze and Lilly recognised the familiar white bean shape "that's your baby"

"It's amazing isn't it?" Scotty whispered as he stared unblinkingly at the screen.

"It looks to be between 4-5 weeks along judging by the size"

Lilly tore her eyes from the screen to grin at her husband "5 weeks huh? Mike's birthday party"

Scotty chuckled, as he realised what she talking about and when the baby could have been conceived.

Mike's 39th birthday party had been exactly 5 weeks ago and he and Lilly had left the kids with the sitter and taken a taxi over to his brother's house. The only thing he really remember about that night, was sneaking into the backyard with Lilly and making love with her behind Mike's garden shed.

He pressed his lips to the outer shell of her ear "Guess we'll have to thank Mike for having that party"

Lilly giggled "I'm only glad your mother didn't find us"

"Everything looks healthy" Dr Palmer announced "but I won't know anything for sure until we get your blood work back"

"Thanks Dr Palmer….um can you see if there is more than one embryo in there?" Lilly asked

Dr Palmer shook his head "I can only see one"

Scotty and Lilly both breathed a sigh of relief "That's good….not that we wouldn't want more than one it's just…"

"I understand" Dr Palmer reassured "I'll just take a couple of photos for the scrap book and then I'll draw your bloods"

"I am worried about what the test results will say" Lilly said as she and Scotty lay in bed with her husband that night "I've been doing some research and I'm just concerned that something could be wrong with the baby"

Scotty pulled her into his arms running his hand up and down her arms "Nothing is going to be wrong Lil our baby is going to be healthy"

"You don't know that, I'm over 35, the risks are higher for all sorts of genetic disorders"

Scotty pressed a kiss to the top of her head "you have to stop thinking about all that could go wrong and think about how perfect this baby is gonna be"

"I am just worried Scotty"

"I know baby, but it'll be alright…trust me"

Lilly sighed and hugged herself tighter to him "I love you"

Scotty wrapped his arms around her "I love you too"

After a few moments of silence, Lilly sighed "What if there is something wrong with the baby?"

Scotty cupped her chin, lifting up her head so he could look her in the eye "If there is something wrong, we will deal with together Querida"

Lilly simply smiled at him, turning her head to kiss the palm of his hand "I know that"

She leant down to press a kiss to his lips and then returned her head his chest and closed her eyes.

"Don't worry baby, everything is going to be fine" he replied as he closed his eyes too.

Before too long they were both asleep.

Scotty woke up to the sound of Lilly throwing up and he sighed. Swinging his legs out of bed, he walked into the bathroom and squatted down next to her brushing her hair out of the way.

"Maybe you should call in sick today"

Lilly shook her head and sat back against the bathtub, wiping her mouth on a wad of toilet paper "I'll be fine Scotty" She reassured him "Dr Palmer gave me a script for something to help the nausea, I'll get it filled before work"

"Are you sure? I can call Stillman"

She nodded "I'm sure, I'm pregnant not sick, go to work"

"Ok, I'm gonna have a shower…wanna join me?"

Lilly chuckled "a minute ago I was too sick to go to work and now you are trying to get into my pants?"

Scotty shrugged pressing a kiss to her cheek "well if you don't want to have a shower with me, I guess I'll just have one all by myself"

Scotty stood back up and reached over her to turn on the taps, allowing hot water to come shooting out of the shower rose. He dropped his boxers and stepped over the tub and tugged the curtain across the shower.

Lilly rolled her eyes and stood up and after stripping off the rest of her clothes, she climbed into the shower behind her husband.

She slid her arms around his waist and Scotty turned around in her arms "thought I might see you in here sexy" He whispered, pressing her against the tiled wall.

"Well let's just blame in on my hormones then"

Scotty grinned, and he kissed her, one hand resting on the back of her head and the other gently rubbing her abdomen, as if trying to feel their new baby growing.

It had been two days since her appointment, and for the last two days her mind had been elsewhere. Lilly stared across the interrogation table at their latest suspect, not really paying attention to Jeffries as he questioned the man. Dr Palmer was going to be ringing her back any minute now and what with the nausea and vomiting she'd been experiencing all day she wasn't really concentrating.

Jefferies was now leaning over him and sliding across a yellow legal pad and a pen as their suspect balled like a baby. She shook her head and cleared her throat, her senses coming back into focus.

Jeffries was opening the closed door and signalling the two uniform officers, who nodded and entered the pulled the man to his feet and slap handcuffs on him.

"Lil are you alright, you were kind of zoned out in that interview?"

"Ahh yeah, I am fine sorry"

Will shook his head "it's fine, we still got the confession. Why don't you take a break, I'll write up the interview report"

Lilly's cell phone suddenly trilled and she grabbed it off her hip, and check the caller ID.

"I gotta take this" She replied and she brushed passed Will and hurried out onto the balcony and flipped open her phone.

"Rush"

"Lilly, this is Becky the receptionist at Dr Palmer's office"

"Yeah, does he have my test results?"

"He does, I'll patch you through to his office" Becky replied cheerily.

Lilly listened to the hold music as she waited for Dr Palmer to pick up the phone. It was like torture, listening to the overly cheerful tune why she waited for what seemed like hours. Something had to be wrong with the baby and he was just afraid of telling her, what were she and Scotty going to do. He would want to have the baby regardless, he didn't believe in abortions.

"Lilly, sorry I took so long was finishing up with a patient. I wanted to tell you the results from your blood tests"

She took a deep breath "Ok"

"The blood tests show…."

A/N: Ohhh cliff-hanger lol.
