I listened as heavy booted feet came running over to me in all different directions. I watched as Hal stood up and his spot immediately was filled with a very worried looking Ranger and Bobby kneeling down to look over me. My husband ran a hand over my cheek and locked eyes with me.

"Babe what's going on?" he asked rapidly as he tried to get his breathing under control

"Nothing" I said trying to sit up but Bobby placed a firm hand on me stopping me

"Stephanie just lie still until I had a chance to examine you" he said pulling various things from his Medic bag

"Carlos I'm fine really, I don't need all this"

"What happened?" he asked not to me but to the man I had been with all morning

Hal looked at me and gave me an apologetic smile "She fainted in the elevator sir"

"Babe"

"I wasn't feeling well all of the sudden but I'm feeling ok now" I said looking over to my arm where I felt Bobby placing a pressure cuff around it "is this really necessary? I hate those things they pinch"

"Babe let Bobby look at you" Ranger admonished

"Has anything been going on recently? Something out of the norm" Bobby asked anyone as he shown a pen light in to my eyes

"Just this morning she wouldn't get up" My husband spoke up

"Steph?"

"It was nothing"

"She wasn't up when I returned to the apartment from my work out. It is our normal routine for us to wake up together and she get ready while I'm down in the gym. When I got back she was still out cold"

"I was just tired is that such a sin?"

"No not unless it's been going on for a while" Bobby said taking my pulse. When he said that I flicked a look over to Hal

"Yes?" Ranger asked

"What?" I asked looking at him

"Babe you just gave a look to Hal. Want to tell us what that was all about?"

"I just looked at him" I told him as Ranger looked back at Hal who blushed

"Tell me" he said and Bobby looked over from what he was doing to look at him as well

"She…"

"Hal" I said warning him of the promise he had made to me and reminding him of the trouble we'd be in

My husband looked at me then back at Hal "If you don't tell me then there will be dire consequences" Ranger promised his serious face slamming into place

"Hal if something happened then I need to know so that I can help her" Bobby said expressing to his tender side to help me. These guys were good at how to get what they wanted.

"She fell asleep in the car" he admitted dropping his eyes to the tile floor

"I get the feeling there is more to it than that because she has been known to do that from time to time"

"Good Lord" I spat out in my bitchy voice ending this back and forth game "I fell asleep while we were on a stake out. We were eating our lunch waiting for the skip to come home. I closed my eyes for what I thought was a minute but when Hal woke me up we were back home" man I was sure getting the use of this hormone driven voice lately

"Have you been experiencing exhaustion Stephanie?"

"Just today for some reason I feel I just can't wake up. Now can I sit up please?"

Bobby took the cuff off my arm and he and Ranger helped me to finally sit up. I rolled my eyes at them all and heard someone snicker from the corner of the room. I looked up and saw that Lester was propped up on a door jamb watching everything with an amused expression on his face.

"Little cranky Beautiful?" he asked from his spot

"I won't be if they would leave me alone. IM FINE"

I watched Ranger look over at Bobby to get his word. Bobby reported to him that I was ok but that my BP was slightly elevated.

"Told you all I was fine" I huffed

"You did faint in an elevator" Ranger reminded me

"Just rest Steph" Bobby told me packing his bag back up "if anything happens call me"

"I'm fine" I said again and Bobby looked hurt

"Thanks man she doesn't mean to be snippy. She thinks her period is coming soon and it's really getting to her because…" he said and I saw red

"Well now that everyone knows that I'm getting my period soon I'm going upstairs"

Walking into my apartment I was so glad to be away from everyone downstairs. I shut the door behind me and went into our bathroom to make sure I had all the necessary supplies that I was going to need. Satisfied I had enough for when I started which by how I felt would be really soon, I walked out of the bathroom with the intentions of flopping on the bed to forget this day ever happened.

"Babe" I heard as I was flipping the light off in the bathroom

"I never heard you come in" I told him resting back on the jamb

I stood there and let my eyes rake over my husband as he stood by the foot of our bed wearing his signature black he took my breath away. He was so hot and sexy I just couldn't stand it, how he ever fell in love with me will forever be a mystery to me. Carlos could have any beautiful woman of this world but yet he set his sights on me. I'm not complaining by any means but I do wonder this from time to time.

I was getting very turned on the more I stood there and looked at him. When I just couldn't take it any more I walked up to him with my heart racing and my chest heaving.

"Steph you were really pissy at Bobby. He was only trying to help" Carlos said looking down at me

"I'll apologize later to him; right now I have something else I need to take care of"

"Oh what's that?"

"This" I said placing my hand onto the back of his neck kissing him hungrily when I brought him down to me

"I can't make love to you Steph, I got a client coming in for a sit down I just came to make sure your ok and to talk to you"

"I don't want you to make love to me. I just want you, we don't even have to take most of our clothes off only the ones that really matter" I said placing my hands on his cargo button

Carlos's eyes went black as my words registered. He placed his hands onto my pants button and popped it open as I did the same to his. Picking me up when my pants and panties were around my ankles, he shuffled me over and onto the bed.

"Oh God please Carlos" I cried out

He didn't need any more encouragement as he entered me and began thrusting wildly. In a matter of minutes he had me writhing and clawing at the bed sheet under him. It wasn't one of our all night or all day sessions but it as what was needed and wanted at this particular moment. As we came and then came down from our highs, Carlos stood a quickly redressed.

"I'm sorry Babe but I have to go"

"I know, I love you" I told him as we shared some final kisses before he had to meet his client

"I love you, you coming down later or you just gonna hang out up here for the rest of the day?"

"I'll come down in a bit"

"Ok make nice with Bobby and I'll see you soon"

"I will" I told him and watched as he left

When I heard the apartment door close, I rolled over, grabbed a pillow, and cried my eyes out. I was upset that I had just had sex with my husband, I was crying because we had some of the most amazing sex together and I felt so good when I was in his arms, yet that love we shared just couldn't make a baby. Holding the pillow tight to me I let the pain wash over me.
