…only to catch a murderer?
11. No more field work
It's the end of June and Alex decides no more field work. It does not work anymore; she couldn't protect Bobby in an emergency anymore or walk with him at the same speed, now she's become more and more heavy. So today is Carolyn's first day at Major Case.
Two weeks ago Alex and Bobby came back from their three-week honeymoon. They were on the coast of Maine while their first wedding anniversary and rested a lot and rung the most they could out of these last weeks of togetherness, before they will be three.
Actually, they want to fly to Europe, to Paris or London. Bobby wants so much to visit Germany again. He's not been there since the reunion. He would love to see the united Berlin. He was only there for a week-end during his military service and was very curious about the other part of the city.
But because Alex no longer wanted to fly such a long distance, they still jumped in their car and visited their own native country a little more attentively.
Alex gets out of the shower, rubs herself dry and snags one of Bobby's blue shirts. She pulls it over her shoulders and enters her bedroom. Bobby's already in the bed, reading 'Psychology of Victims' for this evening's reading matter.
However, on his bedside table lies a pregnancy adviser and the fairy tale book of the Brothers Grimm As the baby started to move, Bobby began to read to Alex's belly. In the last two months Bobby has already read many of the classics, a few of Arthur Conan Doyle's stories and last week he found his old fairy tale book in the library.
Alex just throws a short look to her husband, positions herself before her mirror and combs her hair at length. Bobby observes her looking over his book. Her silhouette looks just as stunning as she always does. Her behind, her hips and her shoulders have became a little bit rounder, but if you look from the back at her, no one would ever have thought that she is seventh months pregnant.
Alex notes in the mirror's reflection that Bobby's eyes are on her. She turns to show off her profile and runs her hands carefully over her swollen body. Frome this position there is no denying she's about to be blessed.
"I cannot see my feet anymore." she says a bit wistfully.
"I don't mind because I'm looking at the most erotic woman in the whole wide world." Bobby answers, meaning every word. Alex becomes more beautiful day by day. He cannot hold onto his luck surely. Yet they have been a couple for more than a year and every new day is nicer than the preceding one.
Now Alex turns head-on toward Bobby, strips his shirt over her shoulders and lets it glide to the floor. "Do you want to moisturize my belly?" she asks not without ulterior motives and steps naked toward her husband, the tube of cream in her hands.
Bobby put aside his book as fast as possible and allows Alex to slip under his blanket. She kisses with relish from his feet, crawling on all fours, right up to Bobby's mouth. After they investigate each other for a long time with their tongues, Bobby turns Alex on her back and seizes for the cream. Warming the balsam with his hands, he starts to gently massage her belly.
"And what did you think about my suggestion?"
"It is a good idea. If we have a girl, she will be Eames and if it's a boy, he will get my surname."
As the cream absorbs into her skin, Alex turns on her side and Bobby snuggles up quite close behind her.
"Did you get very bore today, at your desk?" Bobby wants to know.
"No, the Captain covered me up to the birth with enough tasks. I have to work out a new shift plan and he also transferred the finance planning for the next year to me."
"Oh? Really?"
"I believe he wants to gradually let me climb up the ladder, so he's transferring all these administrative tasks to me."
"Mh!…Good! However, I don't want to give up our partnership."
"Me too, but it cannot be bad to keep my eyes open…And how was your day with Carolyn? I hope you're not being difficult with her, aren't you?"
"No, how could you think that? We managed very well with each other. She let me drive."
"Ah…!"
"Really, I believe she will replace you very well." Bobby says and snuggles up even closer... "But she will never be a substitute for you."…as his lips suck affectionately on Alex's neck.
Because Bobby's hands feel at the same time for her breasts and the warmth between her thighs, Alex starts to groan. "Make love with me." she breathes between her lips and presses firmly her butt firmly against Bobby's groin.
"With pleasure" he says and gently penetrates Alex's warmth; while his lips find hers and his hands caress her body further.
