a/n Thank you to Emilie Martel for the suggestion that the MM get drunk while shopping and direct customer traffic.

It looks like I'm going to be a Daddy. I'm going to be a Daddy!
"Lester, we don't know for sure. Please try to calm down."
"How can you ask me to calm down. This is the best thing that has happened to me since you agreed to be my wife. I love you."
"I love you too, but we have to make sure first."
"A test?"
"Sure, and I will make an appointment with my doctor. Do you want to go?"
"I wouldn't be anywhere else."
"Now you promise me you will be quiet about this - right?"
"Well, Tank, Bobby and Hal already know."
"Don't worry about them - I'll make sure they don't tell anyone."
"Since it is Saturday afternoon how about I go and rent some movies and pick up dinner."
"That's great I want to take a long hot shower and relax tonight."

Three hours later my phone rings and someone is pounding on our door.
"Steph, this is Eddie and I think you want to come down to Salvatore's grocery" I could hear singing in the background and clapping.
"Eddie, why would I want to come there I'm at home and Les and I have plans for tonight."
"About that Steph…I think you should come here and bring a couple of friends and an extra car. I think you should get here soon before another call goes in….." shouting in the background, 'Take a bow. Oooh traffic stop let Mother goose and her goslings pass….' HURRY STEPH!"
The pounding on the door was getting louder and I answered it while trying to pull on clothes.
Ranger was standing in the doorway laughing. "You'd better come with me. Your husband and my friends are creating a disturbance in Salvatore's and we better go get them."
"How did you know?"
"We do the security and we have everything on tape. By the way, Congratulations."
"What? But…"
"Later Babe"

Ranger, Brett and I arrived at Salvatore's and went inside. People were laughing and pointing to the back of the store. There he was - my husband and his friends and they were drunk out of their minds. Lester was sitting in a shopping cart with his long legs hanging out with a bottle of champagne in each hand. One had a blue bow and one a pink bow. Hal was attempting to push the cart and Tank was directing traffic. Bobby was holding an open bottle of champagne and filling the cart with food, diapers, wipes. He was singing "What Child is This" and Lester was singing back to him "My Child!"
"Lester, what are you doing?"
"Picking up groceries. See, we didn't know what kind of pickles so we got a jar of each kind for my Beautiful" - he said pointing to a cart that was filled with pickles.
Then he pointed to another cart that was filled with every kind of Pregnancy test know to the free world and there appeared to be at least 10 of each kind. There was a cart of ice cream and whipped cream with frozen fruit and chocolate sauce.
My sister was standing there with her mouth open and Tank made the other carts stop while he loudly announced Mother Goose and her goslings were crossing the road again. Then he waved the cart traffic through and slid down on the floor with his bottle of champagne,
My cell phone started ringing and I looked down and it was my mother - Oh God!
It took everything we had to load up the guys and then Ranger had to cuff them and shackle them to keep them in the SUV while I paid for the 'groceries and booze" A total of $558.15. Brett and Eddie were loading the groceries into my SUV.
Morelli got out of his cop car. "What seems to be the problem Mrs Santos?"
"No problem Detective Morelli."
" I heard a report of public drunk and disorderly over the radio. Do you know anything about that Cupcake?"
"Nope"
Just then one of the paper bags fell on the ground and someone put Lester's window down and he was singing at the top of his lungs "She's having my Baby, Yes She's having my Baby!" While Bobby, Tank and Hal were providing back up music. The paper bag split open and some of the EPT boxes fell out. Morelli looked at them, I looked at them. Lester sang louder and I turned and faced Lester who had his head sticking out of the window Singing 'She's having my Baby'
I looked at my handsome husband, laughed and danced over to the SUV
Singing….
I'M HAVING HIS BABY ! I'M HAVING HIS BABY!
Lester's Notes:
I really don't remember much about last night. The image of mother goose passes through my mind….I remember singing…. I remember jars and jars of pickles….I need to open my eyes…I look down and Beautiful is snuggled up in my arms and I look around and all over the room and on the bed are these little tubes and sticks and they all are showing positive signs+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
She is having my baby!
