Tears start falling down Jake's cheeks before he can form a single word when he looks up at Amy. Her own eyes are filled with similar salty pearls, glistening in the dark and quiet evidence lockup.

"You're…" He starts but immediately stops in his tracks, a rush of overwhelming emotions preventing him from talking more. He lowers his head towards the small plaque he's holding in his hands; the same small plaque he took out of its safe a few minutes ago, thinking he'd grabbed the annual Halloween prize and thus won the heist yet another year.

When he read the precious golden letters inscribed on the plaque though, he discovered he hadn't been declared an 'Amazing Human/Genius' after all. It was something even better.

Indeed, shining in front of him were instead written the magical words 'Amazing Human/Future Dad.'

(Amy totally stole his move from when he proposed to her to surprise him with the news, and he'd definitely teased her about it if it hadn't been for the other thoughts that were running through his mind.)

He takes another careful look at it, just to be sure he didn't misread the information. But he didn't: the golden letters are still very much here, promise of a new crazy, wonderful adventure with the love of his life.

"You're… pregnant?" Jake eventually manages to ask – even if it's more like a rhetorical question than a true interrogation. His voice hits a higher note than usual at the last word, cracking a little.

Pregnant. Amy, his wife and the person he cares about the most in this world, is pregnant. With their future child. They're gonna be parents.

Another tear rolls down his face as he brings his eyes back on her, still completely awestruck by what all of this means. The blissful grin she's wearing on her own features and the small sniffing chuckle she lets out when she nods at him in return is enough confirmation to the already very explicit prize in his hands but she still answers him in a quiet whisper.

"Yes, I am."

That's his breaking point – he bursts into a pool of joyful tears as he breaks the small distance separating their two bodies and pulls Amy into a tight hug, holding her close to his chest.

"We're gonna be parents. I'm gonna be a dad," Jake whispers against her shoulder, still hardly believing it. He then takes a step back to stare at her. She looks as much of a mess as he does with her face and eyes red from her own non-stop crying. Yet she's literally glowing, and she's probably never been as beautiful as she is right now – bearing their baby.

He can feel the salty taste of her tears mingling with his own when he leans over again and suddenly captures her lips with his, kissing her breathlessly with his hands framing her face. When he draws away, it's only to let his lips land on her wet cheek, excitedly peppering small pecks across her face and kissing the tears away as he goes, unable to restrain himself from showering her with affection.

His heart is pounding in his chest with emotions, pulsing through his veins. He doesn't think he's ever been this happy in his entire life.

Jake eventually stills, resting his forehead against his wife's.

"We're gonna be parents," he lets out the words one more time with a satisfied sigh, the news sinking in for good inside his head. His eyes are barely open but he can see a beam instantly form on Amy's face. She brings one hand to his cheek, skimming dreamily at the skin there with her thumb and removing one last salty pearl on her way. His own free hand instinctively falls flat on her stomach.

There's a life growing there now, he can't help but marvel at the idea – especially when said life is the result of their own ever-growing love.

"I can't wait to start a family with you." She's the one breaking the distance and initiating the kiss this time.
