Chapter 34
"To what do I owe this rare lunch with three of my favorite people?" Alexx asked as she, Speed, Horatio, and Eric sat around a table at a Chinese restaurant.
"We have something to tell you. We wanted Calleigh to be here as well but she had to testify this morning," Horatio said.
"Tell me what, Horatio?"
"We've decided to try and have children," Speed said with a smile.
"Cal's agreed to be our surrogate," Eric explained. Alexx's eyes lit up as what they had just told her sank in.
"That's wonderful news. I'm so happy for all of you," she said as a broad smile split her face.
"Thank you, Alexx," Horatio said modestly.
"When's your first appointment?"
"Calleigh and I have our first appointment two days from now," Eric told her.
"You and Cal will make a gorgeous baby. Lord help you when he or she starts dating," Alexx commented. All three men's eyes widened at the idea of their child dating. Alexx laughed out loud at the looks of horror on their faces.
"Relax, you've got a few years until that happens, but seriously I'm happy for all of you. I'll help with anything I can," she promised.
"Thanks, Alexx," Speed said.
"You're quite welcome," she replied flashing him a brilliant smile before picking up her fork and continuing to eat reflecting on all the wonderful changes that had taken place throughout the lab in the last year or so.
