Author's notes: Hey, I'm back from a long…"could not have been helped" hiatus. That's because my computer crapped out on me so it took me awhile to get a new one. Also, I do admit to being just a little lazy because I didn't know how to continue with this at first. I think after my little rest from fan fiction writing that I'm now going to produce some really good work. I do like this chapter, hopefully you all will enjoy it too. It's really cute.

Chapter Two: Odd Cravings

Around Six Months In

Eames sighed as she lay relaxing in bed. There was just too much to do but she couldn't accomplish anything. Not with her big whale belly and not being able to see her feet. Also, her lack of clean black shirts to make her seem slimmer. Ugh…I have become a lazy pile of poo…How could I let myself do this? I went from stunning ass kicking detective to bloated surrogate mom. I feel fat, damn it all.

Eames tried to get up. I have the oddest craving for broccoli…covered in chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and warm melted cheese. Wow…that was weird. I better get some help on that one. Eames smirked as she dialed a number on her cell phone.

Goren sat at his desk and yawned. He actually yawned, which was a first in a long time. He was never this bored in his life. He always had something to occupy his mind. Usually a book…or Eames to make him laugh. She was on maternity leave finally staying at home. Goren turned his chair around to face his temporary partner, Detective Bishop. He was surprised to find that she had snuck away to get some lunch without asking him to go along. He frowned at Bishop's coldness towards him. Their temporary partnership seemed strained and horrible one minute and then great the next. This was one of the slow moments…

He straightened up at the ring of his phone. Goren swiveled around to answer it. "Goren."

A familiar voice graced the other end. "I need you."

"What happened?"

"Nothing bad…I just feel fat like a whale and all around crappy. Oh yeah, I can't sit up in bed. How are you today?"

Goren chuckled at this thought. "All right. I'm going on my lunch break. I'll pick up something and be on my way. What do you want?"

On the other end, Goren could not see Eames smirk evilly. "Anything?"

"Sure, I'll get it."

"You promise?"

"Yes. What is it so I can get over there as fast as I can."

Eames giggled to herself as she told him the odd thing she was craving badly. Goren went silent at the other end. Eames frowned. "Bobby, are you there?"

Goren answered. "Yeah…that took my by surprise. It's sort of…sickening. But you wanted it…I'll see what I can do."

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

Forty five minutes later, Goren arrived at Eames's bedroom door holding the bag of groceries his partner requested. She smiled happily. "I love you. Can you get me up now?"

Goren put the bag down on a chair and helped Eames sit up. "Bobby, you're the greatest." Goren sat on the edge of the bed next to her and smiled. "Thanks."

Eames looked at the clock on her table. "Wait, don't you have to be back at work in ten minutes?"

Goren shook his head. "I told Deakins I was going to help a friend. He knew I meant you. So, he let me take the rest of the day off."

"How's your partner?"

"You're my partner. My only partner."

"I mean the read head they stuck you with, Bishop."

"She's okay…she doesn't seem to like my investigative style."

"It does take some time to get used to."

"You're really going to come back after the baby's born, right?"

"Of course…you miss me at work or something?"

"Yeah…Bishop isn't the type to be humorous and make light of the situation like you."

"Thanks. And Bobby?"

Goren looked Eames in the eye. "Yeah?"

"Can I have my food now?"

Goren laughed and went for the bag.
