October 2006
Megan is now seven months pregnant with her third child. Because of working polices she is now on desk duty. Megan is a little dissapointed about it but she also knows that it is better because she could endanger the baby while working ing thel field. So she accepted the rulese.
During their last doctors apppointment they had ffound out that they were expecting a second daughter in Jaunary. They were happy about it. The only point for discussions was the name that their daughter would carry. But they were sure that they would find a name both of them liked soon.
Don hated to be the baerer of bad news but he had bad news for Megan again. Megan´s maternal grandmother Rose had passed away and now he had to infrom her about it. He hated it. He called her into the his office and closed the door. They sat down on his couch and Megan noticed by his face that he had bad newes. "What is it Don?" He covered her hands with his and looked at her. "Megan I received a phone call earlier today. I am sorry but your maternal grandmother Rose has passed away earlyx this morning." Megan looked at him with a blank expression. She needed time to digest the news.
After a while she completely understood what he had told her and had silent tears streaming down her face. He just pulled her into his chest knowing that she had wrok through the grief alone frist before she could talk to him. He let her cry against his chest and calmed her down in any way he could think of.
When she had calmed down Don could see that she was in no way capable of working the last hours of the day. "Honey I think we should go home." "Don. We have an important case. We need to work the case. We are not going home. My word is final." With that she got up and left his office to return to work. Don followed her and knew that she would be strong during the last few hours of their day and that she would show her grief at home in his arms in the evening again. But he still kept a close eye on her incase it would be to much for her.
In the evening while on the couch Megan showed her grief again. She let herself being held by Don while crying. She was still trying to completely grasp what had happened to her grandmother. Don had told her that she had had a stroke which turned out to be fatal. Don knew that she was not able to talk about her feelings yet. She would need time and he would give her as much as she needed. He just joped that she would revocer.
