Cindy

(Dave's point of view)

"David I know the team has a case but, we were wondering if you could stay?" Erin asked.

"Yes I'll tell Aaron and be right over." I said.

"Okay we'll see you soon." Erin said.

"Okay bye." I said hanging up my phone.

I was worried. I assumed if something was wrong Erin would have said so. I wasn't sure though. I hurried to find Aaron. We were supposed to be leaving in less than an hour.

"Aaron." I yelled as I saw him.

"Where's your bags Dave?" Aaron asked.

"Actually I'm not going. Erin needs me." I answered.

"Is something wrong?" Aaron asked concerned.

"I don't think so. I'm heading to Erin's house now. She didn't come in today." I explained.

"Let me know what's going on." Aaron said.

"I will and if you need me I'll be available by phone." I said.

After a quickly goodbye I rushed to Erin's. I was trying to stay calm. Erin asking me not to work was strange though. Melissa opened the door for me. She was smiling. I was glad she was okay.

"Hi Dave." Melissa said greeting me.

"Hi sweetheart are you okay?" I asked.

"Oh yeah I'm fine come on in." Melissa said leading me into the Living Room.

"Hello David thank you for coming." Erin said moving to kiss me.

"What's going on Ladies?" I asked.

"Melissa wanted you to come with us today." Erin said.

"Where to?" I asked.

"We get to find out the baby's sex today." Melissa answered.

"Melissa really wanted you to go with us. I hope you don't mind missing work." Erin explained.

"No I don't mind at all. I'm honored you wanted me there." I said to Melissa.

"I'll go grab my stuff." Melissa said leaving us.

"David I really am concerned about something." Erin said.

"What's wrong Erin?" I asked.

"David my children are becoming attached to you. Not just Melissa but Garrett said he called you the other day. And Amber said she wanted your approval on her new boyfriend. If something was to happen between us and we weren't together anymore it would hurt them." Erin explained.

"Erin I hope you and I keep having a successful relationship. If at some point we don't work I do hope you'll still let me be part of your children's lives." I said honestly.

"I think I can agree to that. Thank you for caring about them." She said misty eyed.

"I told Aaron I would call him." I said.

"Sure go ahead I'm just going to check in at the office before we leave." Erin responded.

We arrived at the doctor's office early. We talked quietly. Melissa asked for my help with a project. She was doing a project on Italy. She asked if I could help her. I suggested making a dish for her assignment.

Finally they took Melissa back. Erin stay while they did her vitals. Erin went with Melissa during her exam. I stepped out and called to check in with the team. Luckily the case was going smoothly.

A nurse called for me. I followed the nurse to a room. They were setting up for the Ultra Sound. I went to Erin's side. Katie was doing the ultra sound again.

"Okay let's see if the baby will allow us to take a peek." Katie said.

"I hope we can find out today." Melissa said.

"I know I'm so tired of buying unisex clothes." Erin said.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Clothes that will work for a boy or girl." Erin explained.

"Okay what do you see?" Katie asked us.

"I don't see anything." Melissa shouted happily.

"Um why are we happy about that?" I asked.

"David that means it's a girl." Erin answered.

"A girl." I said in awe.

Melissa was exhausted after her appointment. We took Melissa home. I figured Erin would want to get back to work. As we left she asked if we could go somewhere else. I quickly agreed surprised.

"Where would you like to go?" I asked.

"I would love t go buy a few thing for my granddaughter." Erin said proudly.

"Okay and maybe we can take Melissa shopping over the weekend also." I said.

"You could go join the team if you want." Erin said.

"The team is fine. If they need me they'll call." I said.

"Okay let's go shopping." Erin said as I kissed her.
