Chapter 14: Walks And Talks

Aaron: 1 Year

'Hey you…' Alex grinned bravely, and walked into her son's bedroom, to find him standing up in his cot, bouncing around excitedly. She picked him up, and he grinned at her, causing her to actually smile. For the first time since the baby had died, she had a real smile on her face. Walking out into the lounge room, she slipped on her shoes, and picked up the car keys.

'Alright, sweetie… Let's go visit daddy…' Aaron clapped in excitement, and Alex pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead. 'I love you so much, baby boy…'

Bobby Goren was sitting at his desk, head in his hands, attempting to focus on the forms in front of him. He felt someone tap his shoulder, and he looked up to see a very happy looking Marissa.

'No offence, Riss… but why do you have a grin on your face that screams "I Just Got Laid"?' Bobby asked as Marissa sat down, biting her lip.

'Because I did…'

'Oh god… Was it Adam?' He asked, as she shook her head in disgust.

'Okay… NO! No, it was this guy I've been seeing… Anyway, why the hell am I talking to you about this?' She asked, picking up a file and flicking through it as if it were the latest issue of "Vogue"

'Yeah… why the hell are you talking to me about it? Isn't this a Carey kind of thing?' He asked her, tidying up his desk.

'She's not here.'

'Where is she?'

'Called in sick… Actually, so did Mike…' Marissa said, standing up. 'Well, must be off… Mr. Walters is getting pissed off… I'M COMING!' She stormed over to her partner, and the two started a screaming match. Bobby shook his head in disbelief, and picked up one of the files. He had finally started to concentrate on the papers in front of him, when someone covered his eyes.

'Guess who…' Bobby put his hands up to his eyes, and grasped the extremely tiny ones, and pulled his wife into his lap.

'Hey… I wasn't expecting you…' He said, kissing her gently. He looked over to see his son sitting up in the stroller, gurgling away happily.

'Yeah, well, aren't I allowed to surprise you sometimes?' She asked, shifting her position so they were both more comfortable.

'No…' He whispered, kissing her gently on the lips. She grinned, and sat up, picking up a file.

'Can I help?' She asked eagerly, picking up a pen. He sighed, and took her hand in his.

'Since when have you been desperate to do paperwork?' He asked her, and she smiled.

'Since I've been locked up with our son…' Bobby smiled gently, and kissed her cheek.

'You haven't been 'locked up', honey… Just… Not allowed at work.' Alex laughed, and started on some of the forms. Bobby picked her up so he could stand up, then put her back in the chair. 'I've got to run over to Carver's office, but I'll be back in twenty minutes, tops, okay?' Alex nodded, and Bobby kissed her gently on her head.

'DADDY!' Aaron screamed in excitement as Bobby picked him up. He smiled, and his son snuggled into his chest. 'Daddy…' He whispered, shutting his eyes slowly.

'Ally? Can I take Aaron with me?' He asked slowly, and Alex smiled gently.

'You don't have to ask permission to take your own son places, honey… I'll see my boys later, then.' She smiled, and he grabbed his coat and Aaron's bag.

'Love you.' He said, reaching across her for her car keys, as Aaron's seat was buckled in the back of her Suburban. She gently pulled his face down to hers and kissed him.

'Love you… Love both of you…' She whispered, and kissed the tip of Aaron's nose, causing him to laugh. She smiled as she watched her two favourite guys leave the building together.

'ALEX!' She heard the high pitched squeal of one Marissa Benson, and looked up to see her sitting across from her, grinning like an idiot on crack.

'Hey, Rissa…' She mumbled, head in her hands. Marissa frowned, and looked at Alex curiously.

'Trouble in paradise?' She asked, wheeling the chair so she was beside her friend.

'Nope… Just really tired, that's all.' Alex replied, yawning softly. Marissa smiled again, and placed a cup of fresh coffee on her desk.

'Your first coffee back at MCS… it's not as shitty as it used to be… Persuaded Deakins to buy 'good' coffee.' Alex grinned.

'You never cease to amaze me, Riss… He goes all soft over you, but that's probably because you've worn him down over the years.' Marissa grinned, and looked over at their Captain, who was busy yelling at two rookies.

'Yeah, I tend to piss him off… He agrees to ANYTHING now!' Alex took a long sip of the coffee, and actually agreed that it tasted a hell of a lot better than it did before she fell pregnant.

'MARISSA! MY OFFICE! NOW!' Deakins roared, eyes burning in anger. Marissa put on her puppy dog eyes, and sulked over.

'Piece of shit rookies… Give me up… I'll kill you…' She mumbled, slamming the door behind her. Alex laughed quietly, and shook her head, wondering what Marissa had done this time.

'YOU WHAT!'

'I swear to god, it was all in the name of fun!'

'YOU SHOT A JUDGE IN THE ASS!'

'WITH A PAINTBALL GUN!'

'WHICH YOU LOADED WITH A BEAN BAG!' The entire squadroom was now listening to the screaming match in Deakins' office, all smiling with amusement.

'IT WASN'T A BEAN BAG!'

'What are they yelling about now?' Carolyn Barek wondered as she stepped out of the elevator, abruptly letting go of Mike Logan's hand. He smiled weakly, and bit his lip.

'I honestly don't want to know…' He replied, and quickly kissed her on the cheek, causing her to smile.

'Just in time for screaming match number two-hundred and eighty-seven thousand, nine-hundred and twenty-one. But who's counting?' Adam said as they walked past, and Carolyn just couldn't help but laugh.

When Bobby and Aaron arrived back at 1PP, the squad room less resembled a zoo, and things were definitely quieter, which was a good thing seeing as Aaron had fallen asleep on the way back.

'Hey… Oh my poor baby, he get tired?' Alex said, taking Aaron off Bobby gently, and rocking him back to sleep, after he woke up a bit. 'Hey sweetie pie… go back to sleep, mkay?' Alex cooed softly, and he yawned, stretched, and then snuggled into her chest, sleep taking over once more. She smiled, and Bobby adjusted the stroller so she could lie him down on it.

'Did I miss anything?' Bobby asked, pulling up a chair. Alex grinned, and pointed to the fresh hole in the wall. 'Who the hell did that?'

'Guess…'

'Deakins?'

'Ha! You must be kidding… It'd be much bigger if it were Deakins.'

'Oh god… What'd she do this time?'

'Apparently she shot a judge in the ass with a paintball gun.' Bobby laughed, and looked over at Marissa, who was grumbling as Adam was bandaging her bloodied hand up. 'Now, she's riding a desk for two weeks.'

'Ah, she was bound to get punished eventually…' It was now Alex's turn to laugh, and Bobby smiled at her. 'Hey, uh… Can I take you out for lunch?' Alex smiled gently, and her eyes softened.

'Of course you can… Like I said, Bobby… You don't have to keep asking me stuff like this, although it is extremely sweet of you.' She bit her lip softly as he blushed, and she stood up and walked over to Deakins' office.

'Captain, do you mind keeping an eye on Aaron for half an hour?' She asked, suppressing a grin as she witnessed him throwing a dart at a picture of Marissa, that said 'Annoying Bitch' underneath it.

'Of course not, Alex… Bring him in here… I'll put the darts away…' He said, putting the small arrows in his desk drawer. Alex went and got the stroller, and gently pushed her son into the office.

'He's sleeping, so we should get back before he wakes up, but if not, he might be hungry so I've got some snacks in his bag.' Deakins smiled at his detective, and waved her out of the room. She grinned, and gently kissed her son before exiting.

'Let's go, then…' Bobby said, and wrapped an arm around her waist, leading her out of the building.

'Alex, I'm really sorry I haven't been home much lately… But you know how much I love you and Aaron, right?' Alex sighed, and rested her head lightly on Bobby's shoulder, and he wrapped his arm around her.

'Don't apologize… And yes, I do know how much you love us… Bobby… just know this… I love you so much… But all of this case work? It's getting to you, and I can see that…' She whispered, and he kissed the top of her head. 'Promise me that you'll work only standard hours for a while, and no weekends, okay?' He nodded, and she smiled weakly, snuggling into him. He opened the door to the precinct for her, and she stepped inside out of the freezing cold air. He followed her in, and shut the door, taking hold of her hand. The pair walked towards the elevators, and after a few minutes, they were back on their floor. Alex put her bag down next to Bobby's desk, and then walked into Deakins' office, to see him and Aaron sitting at the desk, drawing pictures.

'Mommy!' Aaron squealed, and pointed at Alex, who smiled back, and took him off of Deakins, who smiled at her.

'Hey baby… Did you miss me?' She whispered, pressing her forehead against his and kissing his nose, causing him to laugh. 'Was he a handful?' She asked Deakins, who laughed.

'Of course not… Did you and Bobby actually talk?' He asked her, and she sat down, wincing as Aaron tugged at her hair.

'Yeah… he's agreed to work only nine to five, and no weekends… Just temporarily…' Deakins nodded, and let Alex leave, helping her take all of Aaron's things out of the office.

'Now you lot, get out of my sight… Bobby I don't want to see your mug around here until nine Monday morning…' The pair smiled, and thanked Deakins. He smiled as he watched his dynamic duo leave the building with their son, and thanked whichever gods were listening for letting them stay together.
