Author's Notes: Hey, since The Powers That Be are writing Kathryn Erbe's pregnancy into the show, I came up with an idea on how to do it (besides the shipper possibility). And, don't worry…I will always be a shipper at heart.

My Decision

By CJSpooks

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eames sat on her couch in her apartment. Leaving work for a personal nature was pretty hard to deal with. (Mostly because only a few people outside her family knew why.)

It was entirely my decision…It was entirely my decision…

Eames shook her head and tried to concentrate on the video she was watching. It was the art of Lamaze on tape…perfect for expectant mothers. Eames frowned. This is so not my type of thing to be doing. Did I really make the right choice?

Suddenly, a knock sounded on the door. Eames fell off the couch at the sound. Damn…who's coming to bother me now? It better not be my mother. I so don't have the patience right now.

Eames silently swore to the damn hormones that were causing so much angst and went over to answer it. She was surprised to see her partner standing there. She frowned. "Goren."

Goren looked at her in concern. "What? Are you all right?"

Eames sighed and gestured him in. "What's the point of this visit? Don't say a case because I'm on leave from work."

Goren frowned. "No, actually…I was wondering about that myself. Deakins wouldn't tell me why you were taking off. He said to just ask you. I just decided seeing you in person would be a better idea than calling you."

Eames sat down on the couch and Goren followed. His eyes wandered over to the television screen and he gasped. "You're pregnant?"

Eames nodded. "Yeah…I'm…"

Goren was in total shock. Eames has a boyfriend! Well, she is very attractive and intelligent but why hadn't she told me? Is she hiding who the father is?

Eames cleared her throat. "Bobby, it's not what you think."

Goren's facial expression changed from shocked to confused. "I don't understand."

Eames looked him in the eye. "Bobby, I'm a surrogate mother."

Goren returned her gaze. "This isn't your baby?" Eames nodded. "Then whose baby is it?"

Eames replied, "Um…you see, I'm carrying this baby for my older brother, Brian and his wife, Kate. Kate has recently been diagnosed with cancer and can't carry the baby due to her upcoming chemotherapy treatments. Brian and Kate have been married awhile and they really want a baby so they asked me if I would consider carrying the baby for them. It took me months to decide if it were the right thing. As you now know…I told them yes."

Goren took a moment to process all of the information passed to him and then replied, "Eames, you're amazing. This must make your whole family extremely proud."

She smiled. "Yeah. I'm sure they all are. What's your opinion on all of this?"

Goren also smiled. "I'm okay with it. And I'm glad you told me. Or else I would've been wracking my brain through your extended absence. I'll really miss you, Alex."

"I'll miss you too, Bobby. It'll only be for a few months. I'll be back, I promise."

"I'll visit you when I can. If you need me, just call, okay?"

"Of course I'll call you, Bobby. I'll need someone to bother during the hormone induced mood swings and to take care of me when I feel all bloated and depressed."

Goren stood up and started to go to the door. Eames stopped him. "Goren?"

Goren turned around. "Yeah?"

Eames kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks. Be careful on your cases. I don't want to hear that something happened to you when I was away."

Goren gave Eames a hug. "I'll be okay. Bye, Alex."

Eames closed the door after him. "Bye, Bobby."
