Thanks for all the reviews...totally lovin them.
Taking a deep breathe, Calleigh decided it was now or never "There's something I need to tell you"
Eric felt his mouth go dry. Only a few seconds had elapsed since she said she needed to tell him something, but to him it felt like an eternity. He'd never seen her this nervous before and it was starting to scare him. "Calleigh?"
"I…" she started then stopped.
"Calleigh whatever it is…"
"I'm pregnant" she blurted out
"What? Are you sure?"
"I took three tests and they all came out positive; so yeah I'm sure"
Eric felt like his heart was about to explode out of his chest. He just stood there staring at her unable to form a complete sentence
"Eric, say something you are starting to make me…." She cut off by his lips coming into contact with hers.
Breaking the kiss, Eric cupped her face "we're going to have a baby" it was more of a statement rather than a question but it was the best he could come up with.
"Yeah" she replied a grin forming on her lips
Eric smiled so hard he thought his face was going to split but he couldn't contain his elation over he news. "We're gonna have a baby" he said again this time getting a little louder throwing his hands up in the air
"You're happy?"
"Aren't you?"
"I was just afraid you'd…"
"What? Be upset? Calleigh I love you I could never be mad at you"
She gasped. He'd never said those words to her before and she was pretty sure he didn't realize he said them. "You love me?"
"Yeah I do" he replied. She didn't say anything and now it was his turn in the hot seat "Calleigh if you don't feel the same way…"
It was his turn to be cut off by contact from her lips "I love you too" she whispered as she broke the kiss
"Ahem"
Their spell was broken as they turned to see Alexx, standing there with her hands on her hips.
"Alexx" Eric started "we were just…."
"Making out in my morgue" she joked and all three broke out in laughter. "I told you he'd be happy" she said to Calleigh
"You knew?" Eric asked
"Only about five minutes before you did" Alexx replied
Eric turned to Calleigh "she sort of figured it out" added Calleigh
A silence filled the room before Alexx finally threw up her hands "Oh hell, congratulations" she said hugging Eric then Calleigh. "You better take care of her or so help me" Alexx said pointing a finger at Eric
"Don't worry I will" Eric replied throwing his hands up to protect himself. Alexx was like a mother hen when it came to their shift
"Alexx!" said Calleigh
"Don't Alexx me sweetie. He drops the ball on this and I will find the nastiest tool in here and use it on him"
Eric gulped at the thought
"Keep that thought" said Alexx
"I kind of feel like this huge weight has been lifted" added Calleigh
"Yeah now all you have to do is tell Horatio" replied Alexx. She couldn't help but laugh when she saw the 'oh shit' look that passed between them "and good luck with that" she joked before going back to the body. "And don't forget to make an appointment with your doctor"
"Yes mom" Calleigh joked as she and Eric left the morgue.
"Sometimes I think feel like I have five kids not two" she said looking down at her corpse.
"So I guess we tell Horatio" beamed Eric. He was so excited; he wanted to go outside and scream to anyone around that they were having a baby. He never thought he would be this happy. After the scare with Natalia he was sure was too young to even think about having kids but things were different with Calleigh; they always had been.
Eric stopped short when he thought about his scare with Natalia. He'd never told anyone about that and he thought maybe he should considering eventually they were going to tell everyone.
"You ok?" she asked as they waited for the elevator
"Yeah it's just"
"What? Eric if you're not sure about this"
"No, no I am. There is just something that I never told anyone and it may come out and I figure it would be best if you heard it from me"
"Ok"
"When Natalia and I were" he didn't want to use the term dating because they never actually went out on a date before they slept together. "When we got together"
"Eric just spit it out"
"She thought she was pregnant. It turned out she wasn't and we never told anyone. I just figured"
"That when I can no longer hide the fact that I'm pregnant it may come out?"
"Yeah"
Calleigh stayed silent for a moment letting him sweat it out. She knew Eric and Natalia had gotten together, hell everyone knew, but she didn't know about the pregnancy scare and quite frankly she didn't care; but she wanted him to suffer for a few moments before she told him.
" Cal?"
"Eric that doesn't matter to me" He relaxed visibly "because I have Alexx in my corner"
she added getting on the elevator with a satisfied smirk on her face
"I deserved that" he laughed. "It really doesn't bother you?" he asked getting serious
"Why should it? We weren't together then"
"To be honest I wasn't exactly this excited when she told me. I mean, I willing to do the right thing but my relief was pretty visible when she told it was a false alarm"
"But not this time?"
"Definitely not this time" he replied wrapping his arms around her waist being sure place his massive hands on her still flat stomach.
"Good" she replied covering his hands with hers.
TBC…..Don't you just love Alexx? She is one of my fav characters other than Calleigh. Please don't forget to review!!
