Summary: Alex doesn't turn up for work. Bobby goes over to her apartment and finds out why.

2 months later

After Forensic's had finished with Alex's apartment, Bobby decided to go over to her apartment and find some answers to his questions. As he entered her apartment, his stomach quenched at the smell of copper in the air. He felt like vomiting but held it in. He walked heavily towards Alex's bedroom door and braced himself as he opened her door.

The room was clean. Too clean for his Alex. His Alex who was 3 months pregnant with his child when she was murdered in her own home. Bobby was curious to find out why she never told him about the baby so he searched all of her draws and cupboards for an answer; then he came upon her diary.

Bobby got nervous as he sat holding her diary. The one thing she could separate herself from the real world. He opened it slowly. On the first page was an ultra sound photo. Dated 09/01/03. Yesterday. She had their baby's first photo yesterday without him there. 'How could she not tell me about the baby? I was the father for god sake.'

Bobby calmed himself down and flipped through her diary to the page marked, "A Special Day". He found it. The entry the day after their baby was conceived. Dated 9/10/02.

As Bobby began to read, tears started forming in his eyes.

'.Last night with Bobby was great. He took me out to a fancy restaurant, and we then had a walk along the boardwalk eating Ice Cream. He took us back to his place and we made love. He is so gentle when it comes to connecting intimately. It makes me feel special inside. Special to have met someone so unique. So individual and different from any guy I've been with. I am so glad I will be able to spend the rest of my life with this unique man. I'm hoping he's going to propose soon.'

Bobby stopped reading, as he needed to find out why. He flipped through some more pages. He found a page. Dated 12/12/02. He started reading once more with tears forming in his eyes. 'I can't believe it. Pregnant with Bobby's child. That mean's we're going to have to get married because of our child. Also what am I going to tell Deakins? He relay's on Bobby and I so much and when I go on maternity leave he'll have to find a replacement and Bobby won't handle having a temporary replacement. Also what am I going to tell Bobby? He'll freak out when I tell him I'm pregnant. I've seen him with kids. He can't stand them. Oh My God. I'm going to be a single mum?'

Bobby wiped his fallen tears and sucked everything that he just read in.

"No, you've would've been Mrs Goren. A Happy married mother. And we would've made the most perfect family. You would've had the most memorabile wedding. The wedding of your dreams. Why did you have to die? Why did those guys have to take away my beautiful Alex?

Someone interrupted Bobby at the door. "They didn't take away your Alex."
