authors note i first want to thank you all for reading i am sorry for the delay it is midterm week will be better in the future.
I look at Jane shocked, and I tell him no I tell him that I found a place I tell him that I have worked hard to be able to live on my own I tell him that I am thankful. I tell him that I need to do this on my own. He understands and we go for a walk I tell him how I can know the genders at my next appointment. He asks to come, and I nod with a laugh. A week passes and we go to the appointment.
"Do you want to know the genders?" my doctor asks, and I do, not because I want to know if need to buy blue or pink things, but because I want to know about names. I nod and Jane pipes up.
"No" I look at him, to say that is not your choice." trust me" I do, and he tells the doctor to put it in a envelope for him. She does and we leave.
"What was that all about?" I ask him.
"I am going to text you a address, be there after work tomorrow." He says, then walks off. I watch him a little annoyed. I go to bed sleeping is getting harder not that I do much of it I mostly do work or think about how to tell my brothers. The next morning, I get dressed and, on the way, to work I get the address from Jane. When I get to work, I see a little box sitting on my desk it has a little bow on it and I open it there is a neckless it is silver and a heart with 2 little hearts that look as they have been cut out of the bigger heart and put on the side. My heart fills as I know it is from Jane he walks in and takes it from me and puts it around my neck. It fits right with my cross, I am smiling. The day goes by with a open and shut case where we found someone holding the weapon and then got a confession. At the end of the day, I go to the parking lot and see Jane waiting for me I invite him to ride with me. We talk and I am begging him to tell me what is happening. He does not. We get to a shooting range where you can rent out some targets and a picnic table, I look at him. We walk in and to a table with baby shower decorations on it. Van Pelt and Hightower are there as I walk over to the table. We hang out and they tell me they tried to get rid of Jane, I gave them a look to tell them I know. We do some shooting the Jane says it is time for cake he then tells me that the 2 cakes have the genders of the baby's blue for a boy and pink for a girl. I look at him and laugh I never wanted a baby shower or any of this, but it makes me very happy. I cut open the first cake not ready. Then I see the pink and the next one is also pink Jane hands me a sonogram and I cry they all give me a hug and then tell me to open gifts; I tell them I did not want gifts that they shouldn't have I open Van Pelts and it is 2 beautiful light green bassinets. I hug her thanking her over and over again. Then Hightower gives me some little outfits and I love all the gifts. I take the next few days making a nursery I go to ikea and hit all the stops, Jane helps me, but I can see the memories he is having probably about doing this with his wife. It is a beautiful room after a bit I put a desk in it so I can do work there with the babies. Jane decides he wants to guess the names. I told him if he can guess both of the baby's names, he can have input on the middle names. By the time I have everything finished we get a new case it only took me a week because we have had some easy cases. Then I get a call
I we find ourselves in downtown Sacramento, with a body outside a casino.
We drive downtown I feel huge. I am 24 weeks and look like I am7 months, even though I am only 5 months. I went shopping and now I have belts and outfits that fit once again, and I am over the moon. We get to the scene. I am ready for the looks once again, happens every time that I see new people at a crime scene. When I get out the van, I get the look from the chief. He looks me up and down l see him stop and look at my bump and then continues to look at me. "Rigsby, what we got?" I ask trying to keep my composter I want to slap him arose the face. But I don't.
"Winston Smith, 56, ME puts the time of death at 4-6 am." I walk over to the body going to bend down and I find it is harder than I thought it might be. After a moment I find my way down and look at the body, it is an old looking man he has been shot in the forehead I feel the eyes on me, the judgement of the others officers wondering if I can do my job, I hate it. I feel Jane walking up behind me I go to get up and find it is not happening. I turn around to him and ask what he thinks, he puts out his hand to help me up and I use it and get up.
"Our man is a gambler, he makes a lot of money, doesn't show it." I don't see it.
"How you know?" I ask.
"Cheap clothing, but look at his chain so garish, it looks fake but is real. He likes to show of but his part will not let him."
"Part?"
"He is part of a team of card counters, he is a big player." I don't know what to think.
"You got all of that from a neckless."
"yep" he walks of.
"Where are you going?"
"To play some cards" he says as he walks into the casino. I want to bang my head against the door. I need to go talk to the family. I get there and walk in and I get the look. Then they do what I think everyone else is dying to do. They say something.
"In your condition agent do you think you are capable of dealing with this." Winston's brother said. He has a suit on. I can feel my blood boiling.
"Sir I am fully capable of working on your case thank you for your concern" I say smiling.
"Ma'am I think I would be best if maybe someone else took on this case." I am getting a bit more annoyed no.
"Sir as I said I appreciate your concern, but I have been assigned to this case."
"I said that I don't want some single pregnant bitch who probably got her job from her daddy." I take a breath.
"What did your brother do for a living?" I ask keeping my cool. Then he slaps me.
"Bitch get me someone who knows what he is doing." I look at him a put him in cuffs state his rights and take him in. In the interview room and I start asking him question.
"What did you brother do for a living?" I have no cool or calm in my voice anymore.
"He was a gambler did not do much made good money was winning left and right just got back from Vegas." He tells me, after a hour I know that this is a money thing, I go and start with the paper work for charging him with assault after a few hours, of paperwork and more.
I go back to the bullpen and don't see Jane.
"Has anyone seen Jane?" I ask.
"He stayed at the casino" Van Pelt says I call him.
"Jane where are you?"
"About to crack the case." I am confused.
"What?" I ask.
"Meet me at the Stasys near the casino." Then I am about to ask a question when in true Jane fashion he hangs up. I drive downtown to the Stasys. I get out the car to see Jane standing there.
"What are we doing here?" I ask him.
"You'll see" he says I follow him up to the women's department and then to the maturity department.
"What are we doing here?" I ask him. He walks me to the dress section and pics out a tight-fitting dress. It is a dress that is covered in glitter it is pink and long. He hands me the dress. I look at it somehow it is just my size. "You think I am going to wear that?" I ask him.
"Yeh put it on and I will tell you what we are doing." I hate this. I take the dress to the dressing room and put it on It is tight but stretchy I look in the mirror it is tight my bump looks huge now in this dress it feels silly. I walk out.
"Wow." He says, I blush. He leads me out. I look at him.
"We need to pay." I tell him.
"I have. Now let's go, catch a killer."
I look at him uncomfortable I hate dresses "What are we doing what is the plan."
"We are going to catch a killer." I follow him out. "You're going to act like you have been left at the alter and you are gambling to feel better you going to bet on my signal." I don't know what is happening, but I go with it. We walk to the casino. I go in and sit at a table with a few chips. I don't know what is happening, but I go with it. I bet when I get his signal, I am called up to the table with the big dogs I look at Jane he nods and so I go and sit down. I keep playing and time goes on soon a man sits next to me he talks to me and I play though out the night. Morning comes and I keep playing. I am getting tired and sick of playing. I am winning though I have been playing for hours but I am up at least 200 grand It feels odd to have that much money in front of me. Then the man that sat down next to me offers to take me to breakfast I look at Jane and he nods I agree and walk out the place with all of the chips in my bag I walk out I follow him to behind a building and realize that we are going to the same place are victim died, I pull out my phone and text the team. 'get to the scene of the murder as fast as you can now' I have a feeling this is not good I keep following him out there until we are there, and he pulls a gun on me. I stay calm. He starts to talk.
"I know what you are doing. You and your friend. Your counting cards. Now the casino is starting to find out what my team is doing. We can't have that can we." Then I see Cho and I pull my gun. Before the man knows what is going on, we have him cuffs. I take him in.
"What do you know about this man?" I say as I put a picture of our man on the desk. My phone starts to ring, and I have to take it by the time I get off the phone with the DA we have a confession. I go to the bullpen to get filled in from Jane. I pick up my purse and realize that I still have a whole bunch of chips in my bag. I tell Jane that I am going back to the casino to give the chips back and he tells me not to but I do. The casino is thankful. I go home to get some sleep. After I get some sleep, I work out it is getting harder with the bump getting bigger. I decide to go shopping for my twins I am getting a need to nest to buy things and make thing ready for the baby's it does not feel natural, it is not like me It feels wrong.
