Chapter 10: Gift Giving

Morgan was now sixteen weeks pregnant in her second trimester, and a neat little bump had begun to form. She and Greg had recently been for the baby's second scan, and they were relieved to find that the baby was developing completely fine, and Morgan was excited to know she should start to feel the baby kicking any time soon.

Luckily, Morgan's morning sickness had gone by this stage, but she was getting more upset about putting on weight, although Greg assured her it was good for the baby.

Greg was still being stubborn about telling his parents, but Morgan had made him promise to tell them when she first felt the baby move. Morgan had now also been brought out of the field at work, and helped from the lab. She spent a lot of time in Trace with Hodges, and was surprised with just how excited he was about the baby.

"I can't believe you're going to be a dad, Sanders" the Trace tech said one evening as Greg and Morgan were waiting for some results.

"And what do you mean by that, Hodges?" Greg asked raising his eyebrow.

"Well, you were just so childish yourself when I met you" Hodges shrugged "I thought you would never grow up"

Greg just gave him a sarcastic smile, before crouching down next to Morgan and placing a hand on the bump. He mumbled something to the baby in Norwegian, before getting up, taking his results, and leaving the room with one last smug grin at Hodges.

Hodges just looked at Morgan with a raised eyebrow "What did he say?"

Morgan laughed "I don't know, but something tells me he's trying to turn the baby against you before they're even born" she teased. Hodges just looked at her with wide eyes.

"Sooo anyway" Hodges said going back to work. "Isn't it your first wedding anniversary soon?"

"Yeah, on Friday" Morgan said with a smile, she couldn't believe she'd been married to the man of her dreams for almost a year now.

"Greg have anything special planned?" Hodges asked.

"Oh, I don't know" Morgan replied leaning on the table "Just spending time with him will be good enough"

Hodges stuck out his tongue in fake disgust "God, you guys are so in love it's nauseating"

Morgan just laughed "That's so hypocritical! Every minute you're not working you spend it with Elisabetta"

"Yes, but we're not married yet" Hodges reminded her.

"Hey, marriage is awesome, trust me" Morgan said with a smile

"Nauseating!" Hodges said again, and Morgan just rolled her eyes.


The night of Greg and Morgan's wedding anniversary arrived, and Greg had booked a table for them at a new restaurant Morgan wanted to try.

"Honey, are you ready!?" Greg called; he'd been waiting in the living room for about half an hour now "Baby, what's taking so…" he walked into the bedroom to see Morgan sat on the bed, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Hey, baby what's the matter?" Greg asked concernedly as he went to put his arm around his upset wife.

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just being stupid" Morgan insisted "The baby's throwing my emotions a little out of whack"

"Well, why do you feel sad?" Greg asked.

"None of my dresses fit anymore" Morgan mumbled, and looked down at the floor embarrassed "I feel like a freakin' whale"

Greg couldn't help but laugh "Oh, baby no you're not" he reassured her "Why, I think that bump looks mighty sexy on you" he said, kissing her cheek. "Now c'mon, I promise that you look just as beautiful as the day I married you…and that's what today is about, celebrating what I can say has been the best year of my life."

Morgan smiled at him "Mine too. I love you"

"I love you too. I love you and Bump" Greg beamed.

"I wanna give you your present now!" Morgan said eagerly.

"What? Baby, you didn't have to get me anything" Greg said.

"Oh shut up, of course I did" Morgan teased. She went to one of her drawers and pulled out a small box, handing it to Greg with an excited grin on her face.

Greg opened it and looked down in amazement "Morgan…this is a Rolex" he said, taking the beautiful silver watch out of the case.

"Do you like it?" Morgan asked nervously.

"Honey, I love it but…well these cost thousands of dollars. You shouldn't spend all that money on me."

Morgan just gave him a soft smile "Would you stop being so modest, you deserve it, baby. You've been taking such good care of me and Bump, we wanted to get you something special. Besides, I can't return it, turn it over" she urged.

Greg did so, and was met by an engraving with an elegant style font "With all our love, M and Bump" he read aloud, running a finger over the writing. He proudly put the Watch on his wrist and smiled at his loving wife. "Thank you, baby, it's the best gift I've ever gotten…after Bump of course"

"You're welcome" Morgan said, and they shared a deep and passionate kiss.

"Just so you know, going to this restaurant isn't your only gift" Greg said when they pulled apart "You just might have to wait a week or two for the next one"

"Oh, okay, I can't wait" Morgan said excitedly. "Now, we better go before my dress bursts"

Greg just shook his head and smiled "You look like a movie star, Mrs Hollywood"


A week later and Greg was driving Morgan out to a mystery location where her Anniversary present was located. Morgan was very confused yet excited; she'd made various guesses at what it might be, but Greg was keeping it very quiet.

"Here, put this on" Greg said as he rounded a corner. He was offering Morgan something similar to a blindfold.

"Wow, you're seriously kidnapping me" Morgan said.

Greg laughed "No, I just want it to be a surprise. C'mon, humour me"

"Well, alright" Morgan said, tying the material around her eyes.

Five minutes later and Greg stopped the car, carefully helping Morgan out, and then guiding her down what sounded like a gravel path.

"Okay, you ready?" Greg asked as he came to a stop. Morgan nodded her head eagerly, and Greg smiled as he took off the blindfold.

Morgan's eyes immediately widened in shock and her mouth fell slightly agape. They were stood in front of a house with a 'Sold' sign in the window and Greg was smiling as he twizzled a set of keys around on his finger.

"I figured that when Bump is finally born, we were going to need more room, and for any more kids we might have in the future" Greg explained. His smile faded when he realised Morgan had not said a word "Do you not like it?" he asked sadly.

"Greg…I…I" Morgan walked forward so that she was stood on the porch "Buying you a Rolex was spending too much money, yet you can buy me a freakin' house!?"

Greg laughed "A house benefits all of us, baby. I was driving back from a crime scene one day and I saw it and…well I thought it was perfect, just like I thought you were prefect when I first saw you. I couldn't let it escape so I paid the deposit yesterday and…now it's ours. We own a house"

Morgan grinned from ear to ear as she ran at Greg and flung her arms around his neck "I love it, I love it, I love it! I love you!" she exclaimed giddily before passionately kissing her overjoyed husband. Greg ended up stumbling back a few paces.

"Steady on girl" Greg said, taking a deep breath as Morgan finally pulled back "I love you too" he smiled. "Now c'mon, poor Bump must be all squished and confused"

"Oops, yeah" Morgan said untangling herself from Greg. "Sorry, baby" she said patting her stomach. "C'mon, gimme the keys!" she said excitedly clapping her hands. Greg chuckled and dropped the keys into her palms, amused to see his wife acting like an eager schoolgirl.

Morgan grasped them firmly, and dragged Greg up the steps to the front door, unlocking it, and stepping inside.

Morgan thought the living room alone was bigger than the apartment she and Greg were currently living in. The kitchen reminded her of the one back at her mom's house, and there were French doors which opened up into a reasonably sized garden. There was a dining room connecting from the kitchen too. All the rooms were currently unfurnished, but Morgan was already beginning to envision what it would look like.

The upstairs of the house was just as impressive; there was a master bed room with en suite, a room/ nursery for the baby, and a spare room for guests.

"So, did I do good?" Greg asked as he stood behind Morgan and wrapped his arms around her and the baby bump.

"You did amazing" Morgan said turning to give him a soft kiss "I love it so much, when can we move in?!"

"Not for a little while…" Greg said biting his lip "but before Bump is born, I promise" he added when Morgan pouted. "I want to get it all painted, decorated and baby proofed first. I'll be roping in Nick to help which I'm sure he'll be thrilled to find out" Greg explained sarcastically. "Obviously I'm leaving you to decide how you want it and what you want; we'll just be the manual labour"

"Mmm I didn't pin you for a DIY kinda guy" Morgan said lacing her arms around Greg's neck "Tell me, do you know the difference between a screwdriver and a spanner?" she teased.

"Erm, yes!" Greg said, pulling a face of mock offence "My dad did teach me how to use tools and stuff…although my mother didn't speak to him for a week after I broke my thumb with a hammer. You don't think I'm man enough for tools?" he pouted.

"No, that's not what I meant" Morgan smiled "I mean like when your coffee machine broke and you just used Sellotape to stick the parts back together"

"Ah, well that my dear is what we in the trade call laziness" Greg replied and Morgan laughed. She looked around the room again and let out a sigh. Greg frowned "What's the matter, baby?"

"I dunno it's just…everything seems to be going perfect at the moment you know…almost too perfect"

"Don't jinx it, honey" Greg warned "It's about time our lives suddenly had order"

"Yeah" Morgan agreed "Happy anniversary, baby" she said turning to kiss Greg once more.

"Happy anniversary, Mrs Sanders"


"Hey, Morgan!" the blonde turned to see Nick jogging up to her in the lab a few nights later "Listen, I got a suspect who needs interviewing for armed robbery, but Russell's just given me another scene, you think you could talk to this guy for me?"

"Yeah, sure" Morgan said with a smile, and Nick handed over a file with the details in.

"Great, thank you" he said with a smile before jogging off down the hall.

Morgan tucked the file under her arm and headed to the interrogation room. When she arrived, she was surprised to hear some men yelling, and entered the room to find Brass shouting at the suspect, who was shouting back and having to be restrained by the officer.

"Kyle!?" Morgan explained in shock; when Brass sat back down to reveal her ex-boyfriend's face.

"Oh, thank God, Morgan" Kyle said, calming at the sight of her. "You've come to get me out of here, right?"

"No, actually" Morgan said walking forward; her bump was well hidden under her blouse that day. "I'm here to ask you a few questions about your involvement in the robbery"

"What?! Oh c'mon M, you know I wouldn't do that!"

"Do I?" she asked raising an eyebrow "I'm going to start by taking a DNA sample" she said, pulling out a swab.

"Hey, no, get away from me!" Kyle yelled, struggling with the officer's grip, but Morgan didn't hesitate, just moved closer towards him with the swab. "I said no!" he yelled. Kyle kicked his leg out and hit Morgan in her side.

Morgan gasped in surprise and fell to the floor, feeling her baby bump hit the ground hard.
