Chapter 14: Back to Work?
Stiles walked into the house and saw Terri sitting on the couch crying. "Baby, is everything ok?" Terri nodded yes. Stiles knew it wasn't so he just sat down next to her and hugged her. After a while he looked at her. "Talk to me, Terri. I need to know what is going on."
"It's time isn't it?"
"Time for what?"
"To go back to work. Stiles I'm just so scared something is going to happen."
"I know. First of all Terri, with the baby, I don't want you to go into the field anymore."
"I don't want to, but the thing is I don't want you to go out there without me to back you up." Stiles smiled and kissed her. "You always get into trouble when I'm not there."
"Terri, it's all I know how to do. That and be a Marine. I do think the CIA is probably a little bit safer." Stiles could see she was still very upset. "I'll tell you what, I'll talk to Gage and maybe a little less field work, at least until after the baby is born."
Terri kissed him. "Really? You would do that for me?"
"Terri, don't you know by now. I would do anything for you. I love you." Stiles put his hand on her stomach. "And our little one. I'll call Gage and tell him we'll com back to work on Monday." Terri nodded. Stiles picked up the phone and called him.
When Stiles got off the phone he sat down on the couch next to Terri. She looked him in the eyes and told him "I love you so much." They kissed.
They spent the rest of the weekend making plans for their future, and didn't really discuss work. Stiles knew that Terri was still a little apprehensive about it so he didn't want to upset her.
**************************************************************************Monday morning they woke up early and Terri got into the shower first. Stiles took out his book about the baby's development. It always amazed him. The baby was now only 3.1 inches, he couldn't believe that just since right before Christmas it was only 1.6 inches. The baby had almost doubled his size since then. The eyes are well developed, but the lids remain closed until the fetus is seven months old, Stiles wondered if the baby would have his eyes or Terri's. The face is beginning to look more human, he couldn't wait to see if it had Terri's smile. Terri got out of the shower and just looked at him, she couldn't help but smile. She saw the book in his hand and knew he was thinking about their baby. Terri put her hand on her stomach.
"Penny for your thoughts."
Stiles looked at her. "Just wondering what our little miracle is going to look like." Terri walked over to him and he kissed her stomach. Terri bent down and he kissed her and gently pulled her down onto the bed next to him. "His eyes are developed." Stiles smiled as he looked into Terri's eyes. "I wonder if he has your eyes."
"Well I'm hoping she has your eyes." Stiles just smiled at her and kissed her again. "As much as I would like to stay here in bed with you, if you don't go and get ready, we will be late for our first day back." Stiles just moaned. Terri laughed. "You heard Joshua he's already got a lot of work waiting for me."
"He just better not make you too tired, I plan on picking up right where we left off tonight." Terri just smiled at him as he kissed her then got into the shower to get ready.
**************************************************************************
It felt strange for Terri to be there as Stiles drove into the parking garage. Terri hadn't been there for work since May, the night she left after her meeting with Holland and he accused her of being the mole to confront Joshua. She couldn't believe it. She started to get nervous and it was almost as if Stiles could read her mind. He reached over took her hand in his and pulled it to him and kissed it. She smiled and began to relax.
Stiles walked her over to OTS, Terri smiled when she saw a dozen white roses sitting on her desk waiting for her. Stiles asked teasingly. "Secret admirer?"
Terri opened the card. "He's not so secret about it." Stiles hugged her. "Thank you, I love you."
Stiles kissed her cheek, "I love you too." Then he whispered. "Joshua and Lex have been waiting patiently. I think I better get going." Terri tried to smile, but he could tell she was worried. "It's ok. I'll be back in a little while to see you."
Terri realized she was being silly. Stiles could not be with her every single minute. "Stiles, I'll be fine."
Joshua and Lex couldn't wait any longer. Joshua walked over. "Mr. Stiles I assure you I will take care of your fiancé." Stiles looked at her she nodded that it was ok. He kissed her again before he left. He looked back as he got to the door and saw Terri hug both Joshua and Lex then she sat down and could hear them talking. "So, Miss Lowell, tell us everything about how wonderful Mr. Stiles is, and how right I was about the two of you."
Terri just laughed. "You were right about him he is wonderful." Joshua just laughed. "Well now I know I just started back but, we need to discuss some time off in March."
"I need you too much around here. I can't just give you time off?" Joshua teased.
"I want the whole month of March."
"The whole month?" Joshua asked.
"The wedding in Ireland. I want to be there early to plan and then let's not forget the honeymoon."
"I think you two have already had the honeymoon."
"You sound like my mother."
"I have always thought your mother sounded like a very intelligent woman." Terri started laughing. Joshua pulled out the vacation request form. "Mr. Gage already had it filled out, it has my signature already, it's just waiting for yours." Terri smiled at him. "Your future husband is quite the negotiator, it was the only way he would agree to coming back was if you both had the whole month of March off." Terri just smiled.
**************************************************************************
Stiles walked up to Gage's office. Mrs. Anaya was all smiles when she saw him. "Welcome back to work Mr. Stiles."
"Thank you."
"He's waiting for you. Go ahead in."
"Mr. Stiles. Welcome back." Gage told him as he shook his hand.
"Thank you. It feels a little strange though."
"How's Terri doing, is she getting settled in."
"Yes Sir." Stiles sat down.
"Carl and I were thinking about some changes. We definitely like the IRT." Stiles nodded. "Well we were thinking you could still lead it, but maybe go out on less missions."
"That would be good. I really don't like the idea of leaving Terri right now."
"Anything really big, you would have to go, but most of the missions you could set up and monitor from here. We just need to figure out who the team will be."
"Do Jackson and Lex still want to be part of it?"
"I'm sure they do." Carl added. "Obviously Terri is out."
"Obviously." Stiles laughed.
Carl told him. "Why don't I show you to your new office and we'll get the some personnel files over to you to review and you can pick your team."
"Did you say my new office?"
"We are doing away with a Homeland Security liaison being on site here. You will be working with her though."
"Ok. Who is it?"
"Julia Clark." Stiles got a little bit of a funny look on his face. "Do you know her?"
"Probably not, that's a pretty common name."
"Her father was in the Air Force."
"It couldn't be." Stiles said. Gage and Carl just looked at each other.
