Chapter 13
Nick had just gotten home from a long shift at the crime lab. They'd been back from Florida for four weeks now, and the family had settled back into routine.
"Hey, Babe!" Nick greeted Greg from the office doorway before heading to the master bedroom.
Greg stopped working long enough to shoot Nick a huge grin, then turned back to his computer screen. Nick shook his head wonderingly at the younger man's antics.
In the bedroom, the twins were crawling around in their cribs, babbling happily.
Tracy was curled up in bed, her arms wrapped around her stomach. She looked a bit pale and green. As it dawned on Nick that she wasn't getting ready for her shift at the lab, Tracy bolted up from the bed, making a bee line for the bathroom.
"Tracy?" Nick followed, his brow furrowed in worry when he heard her wretching. "Baby?" he leaned over, pulling Tracy's hair out of her face as she finished emptying her stomach contents into the toilet.
A moment later, Tracy panted, "Called in sick. Wasn't this bad with the twins."
It took Nick's investigator brain a moment to wrap around what she'd said and put a few pieces together the right way. "Are you telling me? Does Greg..." he didn't finish either sentence.
After rinsing her mouth out, Tracy looked up at Nick, a twinkle in her eye. "I'm pregnant! And yes, Greg knows. He suspected last week. Mentioned something about psychics and Nana Olaf."
Nick's face split in an easy grin, as he laid his hands against Tracy's stomach. "He, there! We can't wait to meet you." His eyes met Tracy's, "When? During the trial?"
Tracy nodded, "Yup. The old fashioned way, this time." Biting her lip, she said, "I was with both of you, so I don't know which of you..."
She trailed off when Nick laid a finger over her lips. "Shh... I don't care which of us shares DNA with this baby, and I know Greg doesn't either. This baby belongs to all three of us!"
Tracy smiled happily, as Nick gently kissed her lips.
A/N: Well, here's to the end of another story! Hope you enjoyed it. Please be sure to send me reviews, I crave them! Not sure, but I am thinking about a sequel to this. Probably something when the kids are a bit older, so they'll have more of a part to play in it.
