A/N: I still don't own cold case, Duh. I would also like to thank Ditzie-Blonde for once again editing and helping me out with this story.

Chapter Twenty One:

Lilly walked down the hallway towards Scotty's apartment, praying that her partner was home. The doctor had informed her that she was six weeks pregnant, six weeks. She had prayed that she'd been a week either side, and that the identity of the father would be more obvious. But six weeks meant that it could be either Scotty or Jordan.

She had decided to tell Scotty first, Jordan would still be in his exam, and Scotty would most likely be home now. What was she going to say 'Hey how was your day? By the way I am pregnant and there is a good chance it's yours'

Damn it.

She reached his door and wrapped lightly on the wood, please let him be home she repeated to herself over and over.

The door was suddenly opened and Lilly was face to face with his new girlfriend "Hey Lilly"

"Oh hi Gabriela"

"Are you looking for Scotty? He just left to pick up our dinner"

Of course he'd be with Gabriela, she was his girlfriend now not her. "I….I just wanted to talk to him"

"Oh well come on in, he shouldn't be too long. The games about to start, you know how much he loves baseball"

"You know…it's not important" she replied "I'll see him tomorrow"

"Are you sure?" Lilly nodded "Okay, I'll tell him you stopped by"

"No don't, it's really not important"

"Lil" she heard the familiar voice behind her and she felt like she just wanted to fall into his arms "What are you doing here?"

"I….ah"

Scotty moved into the apartment an pressed a kiss to Gabriela's lips before handing her the bags of takeout "Boss said that you were feeling ill, you okay?" he rested a hand on the her forehead, feeling if she had a fever "You wanna come in for a bit"

"No, I don't wanna ruin your night"

"It's fine Lil, I always order too much anyway" he smiled at her and he heart flipped, she couldn't believe that with a simple smile he could make her feel so loved and cared for.

"I should go" she whispered softly.

"Lil, are you alright?" he asked in concern.

"Yeah, I am fine" she replied and she turned around and walked towards the elevator, leaving a confused Scotty behind her.

Jordan walked out of the examination hall with all the other hopefuls, he felt fairly confident that he'd done well but he wouldn't know that for another month at least. He looked over towards his car and spotted his girlfriend leaning against the driver's side door. He grinned broadly and leaned in to kiss her "Hey you"

"Hi" she replied "How'd your exam go?"

"Okay I think, reckon you'd aced it"

Lilly smiled "Really?"

"Yeah, how are you feeling?"

"Better, I saw the doctor"

"Oh yeah, what did he say?"

"We can talk about it when we get home" Lilly whispered softly.

"Is it something serious?" he asked with concern "Just tell me"

Lilly considered him for a moment "I am pregnant" she said.

Jordan waited a beat and in those few seconds Lilly thought he was about to freak out on her, but his face broke into a large smile and he pulled her into a hug "You're pregnant?" he asked happily "I am gonna be a daddy?"

Lilly froze, what was she meant to say to that? She wasn't even sure who the father was. But when she thought back to all that had transpired over the last few months, she realised that Scotty had a girlfriend now and she was with Jordan. The best thing for all of them would be for Jordan to be the baby's father, and Scotty could just be Uncle Scotty.

"Yeah, you're gonna be a daddy" she replied and he kissed her furiously, squeezing her even tighter until she was begging him to stop.

"God Lil, I have never been this happy before"

"Really? You're not mad?"

Jordan shook his head "No Baby, I happy"

"Me too" Lilly added.

"I can't wait to tell my family, their gonna be so excited for us"

Lilly pasted a smile on her face, wishing she could be as excited as he was. But the truth was she wasn't, Jordan was over the moon at the prospect of being a father, but she just felt so confused and nervous over who the father was that she couldn't process how she felt about the pregnancy. It was still possible that Jordan was the father but then again it was also possible that Scotty was.

"I think we should go out and celebrate" he announced

"I am kinda tired"

"Okay, well tomorrow is First Thursday's isn't it? We can tell everyone and we can celebrate with all of your friends"

"I don't know if I want to tell people yet Jordan" Lilly pleaded

"Don't be silly Lil; Lieutenant Stillman will need to know you're pregnant so you can go on desk duty"

Lilly frowned "But I don't want to go on desk duty Jordan"

Jordan waved her off "You have to think about the baby now Lil; It ain't just you anymore, it's our child in here" he placed his hand on her abdomen "Come on Lil; let's go back to your place. Your sister is going to be so excited" He opened the car door for her and she slipped inside.

"Pregnant?" Chris asked, her mouth open in shock

Lilly nodded "Yeah I am six weeks pregnant" she replied.

"Wow" she said "Congratulations" she hugged her sister lightly and then hugged Jordan "I am happy for you guys"

"Thanks" Lilly said and Chris couldn't help but hear the slight disappointment in her voice.

"I am gonna go call my parents" He kissed Lilly's cheek before he left the kitchen.

Chris waited until Jordan was out of earshot and then turned to her sister "You're not happy about this are you?" Chris asked her older sister.

"It's not that, it's just…"

"Lil what is it?"

"I don't know who the father is"

"What do you mean you don't know who the father is?"

Lilly sighed "I slept with both Scotty and Jordan around the same time and I don't know which one is the father"

"And you think I am bad" Chris said in slight amusement.

"It's not funny Chris"

"Have you told Scotty?"

"I tried but he had his girlfriend was there and I didn't want to tell him when she was around"

"Are you hoping that one is the father more than the other?"

Lilly sighed and then shrugged "I really don't know Chris, I just don't know" She suddenly burst into tears and Chris was shocked to see her usually strong sister, was crying. She pulled her into his arms and allowed her sister to cry against her shoulder.

Jordan came back into the room, hanging up the phone "My parents are thrilled Lil they…..Lil are you crying?"

"Hormones" Chris lied for her sister.

"Oh"

Lilly lifted her head off her sister's shoulder and smiled weakly "I am fine"

Jordan reached up and brushed a tear off her cheek "My parents are coming next week and they wanna meet the future mother of their grandchild"

"Okay"

"Great, I'll arrange something"

Lilly nodded again and Jordan pressed a kiss to the side of her head.

"Well I gotta go and get ready I have a dinner to get to" Chris announced

"Have fun Chris" Jordan replied, he turned to Lilly and wrapped his arms around her waist "Now what about us? You wanna go upstairs and celebrate?"

"I am really kinda tired, I think I am just gonna have a shower and go to sleep"

Jordan frowned slightly but pressed a kiss to her forehead "Okay, maybe tomorrow night?"

Lilly nodded again "Sure" She walked upstairs and locked herself into the bathroom. She stared into the mirror, what had gotten into her. She wasn't supposed to be this irresponsible. Out of her, her mother and Chris she was definitely not supposed to be the one who was pregnant and unsure who the father was.

More than that she wasn't sure who she wanted the father to be, Scotty or Jordan.

Jordan took Lilly's hand as they entered Jones' Tavern the next night, he was so excited to tell everyone but Lilly remained unsure. She knew that Boss, Kat, Will and Nick would be excited for her but she wasn't sure how Scotty would react to the news. Especially when he heard how far long she was, he wasn't stupid he would work out that there was a strong possibility that he was the father. "Come on Lil" Jordan encouraged "I see your team over by the pool table"

Lilly nodded and allowed herself to be led over to them.

"Hey you two" Vera said rather loudly "I thought we wouldn't be seeing you two here tonight"

"Yeah well, Lil and I have some great news" he replied as he put his arm around Lilly's waist.

"Really? What? You guys getting married or something?" Nick asked

Lilly looked over at Scotty, who was showing Gabriela how to play pool. When he heard Vera's comment however his eyes shot up to Lilly and something flashed in his eyes that she couldn't quite detect, but it was gone as soon as it had come.

"Nah, we ain't getting married" he replied "Well not yet anyway"

"So what's this good news then?" Kat asked

"Lil's pregnant" he said proudly

Lilly and Jordan were immediately congratulated by the whole team, all except for Scotty. It tugged at Lilly's heart to see the look of complete and utter shock and disappointment on his face. He excused himself from Gabriela and walked over towards the bar, Lilly knew she should go and talk to him so she told Jordan she needed to go get a drink of club soda and she joined her partner at the bar.

"Hey Scotty"

"We're you gonna tell me?" he asked down at the glass of beer in front of him

Lilly sighed "I wanted to…I wasn't sure how"

"Well how 'bout starting with I am pregnant" he snapped

Lilly was expecting that Scotty would be angry but she had already worked out in her head what she was going to say to him "I thought it would be best to tell Jordan first seeing that he is the father Scotty"

Scotty took a sip of beer "Are you sure?"

"Yeah Scotty, I am only five weeks pregnant" she lied

"Oh, well I guess I should congratulate you then, huh, and stop being an ass?"

Lilly chuckled and she took a seat beside him, asking Jones for a club soda "Thanks"

"You happy?" Scotty asked softly

"Yeah, I am"

Scotty smiled and put a hand on her shoulder "I'm happy for you Lil, always thought you'd be a good Mum"

"You did?"

"Yeah, I do"

Lilly shook her head, uncertainty flashing through her eyes "I don't think I will"

"Don't be ridiculous Lil, your caring, loving, dedicated and brilliant; you'll make an amazing Mum"

Lilly blushed "Thanks Scotty"

"Uh, that's Uncle Scotty from now on. I am gonna be Uncle Scotty right"

"Yeah, of course" Lilly let out a small laugh and she felt tears building up behind her eyes "You're my best friend and just about the best partner I ever had" she was so pleased that Scotty was happy for her.

"I feel the same about you Lil"

She knew now that it was be best for everyone to think that Jordan was the father, hell it would be better for the baby for Jordan to be the father. Scotty had a new girlfriend and he was happy, the last thing she wanted was to hurt him and mess up his life more than she already had so she decided that from now on Scotty was just gonna be Uncle Scotty and he seemed alright with it.

"Well I better get back to Jordan; he wants to take me out to dinner to celebrate"

Scotty chuckled "I'd say have a glass of champagne for me, but given the situation….water on the rocks"

Lilly smiled and stood up looked over her shoulder to make sure no one was looking and pressed a quick kiss to Scotty's cheek "Thanks Scotty, I'll see you at work tomorrow"

"Definitely, night Lil"

"Goodnight Scotty"

Scotty watched as Lilly moved back over to Jordan, and saw him greet her with a kiss on her cheek. He bent down to whisper something in her ear and she nodded. Scotty tried not to look hurt as she walked out of the bar with Jordan, but of course she would, she was with Jordan and now they were having a baby.

"Hey honey, you ok?"

Scotty smiled at his girlfriend and nodded "Yeah I am ok, just a bit tired I suppose"

Gabriela kissed his cheek "Maybe we should leave then" she suggested, running her fingers through his hair.

"Yeah sure" Scotty tossed back the rest of his beer and stood, following Gabriela out into the cool night.
