Here it is...
Bobby awoke on the couch the next day, noticing Little Bobby next to him. He looked around and noticed the beer next to him, then realized he had fallen asleep watching the 12:00 news. He groaned and got up to look at the clock, noticing it was 6. He looked over at his son, who was still sleeping, and realized he would have to get him to the sitter by 7. He got up and poured some cerial for both of them, then went in to get dressed. When he was ready he walked over to the couch and softly woke Little Bobby up. After he fed and dressed his son, he dropped him off at the babysitter and then headed over to the office. He walked in and saw Lindsay, startled.
"You said you would be in by seven." She said. Bobby checked his watch. It was 8:00.
"You said you'd be here at ten." He remembered, and she put her briefcase on the nearest desk and began to take things out.
"This is my desk." He said, motioning to the one across from her, and she stared at him, confused.
"What?" He finally said.
"Nothing..."
"No, what is it?" He asked, determined to know. She sighed.
"It's just... I always remembered you haveing an office." She said, turning to Bobby's former office. He looked imbarrised.
"Well, it's Eugine's now. That's the price I pay for quitting." He said, and Lindsay decided to forget about it and dragged her things over to his desk. They worked on the case until about 10, when Ellenor walked in. Bobby looked up.
"You JUST got here?" He asked, and she shrugged.
"Yeah, why?" She asked, and he looked at her like she had 5 heads.
"Ellie, it's 10:00!" He yelled, and she walked over to him.
"Well, look who's being a little bossy? Don't forget Bobby, I have an office here, you don't." She said defensevly, and she stormed into Eugine's former office, now her's. Bobby got up to follow her, but then Eugine walked out of his office, running into Bobby.
"Ellenor JUST got here!" He yelled to him, hoping he would say something, but he just shrugged. Bobby stared at him.
"She comes in at 10 every morning." He said, walking over to the file cabinet. Boobby followed him.
"At 10???" He asked, and Eugine nodded and looked at him.
"As long as she brings in business and wins cases, I don't care if she works for 5 minutes." He said, looking through the fileing cabinet. Bobby bit his lip, in fear he would say smething damaging, and walked back angrily to his desk. Lindsay patted him on the back and he sat down to finish his work on the case. Shortly after, Alan walked in.
"Jees." Bobby said, craning his neck, and Lindsay gave him a warning look. Alan turned to them.
"Hello Bobby." He said, stretching his hand, and Bobby took it grudgingly and shook it, mumbeling 'hi'. Lindsay, however, smiled and shook his hand polietly when Alan offered it to her.
"I'm Lindsay Dole." She said smiling. He smiled back.
"Alan Shore. Single?" He asked hopefully but charmingly, smiling. Lindsay was caught off guard and Bobby looked at her angrily.
"We're actually married... but we're seperated now." Bobby said, and Alan looked sorry.
"That's hard. Well, if either of you need anything, just give me a call." He said, and walked back to Tara's desk. Lindsay glanced over at Bobby, who was biting his tounge. Lindsay rubbed his back once again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hey Baby!" Lindsay said as Little Bobby saw his mom and ran into her arms. Bobby smiled. He had offered to have Little Bobby and Lindsay over for diner, since him and Lindsay had to work on the case. He haden't kissed her since that one night, but there were always hopes. She picked their son up, but then he saw his dad, and he smiled and nuged to get out of Lindsay's arms.
"DADDY!" He said, and Bobby smiled and picked him up. Little Bobby touched his dad's nose.
"Daddy, you come here?" He asked, surprised, and Bobby nodded.
"Me and you mom gotta do some work later. But first we're all gunna go back to the house and have diner." He said, and Little Bobby clapped happily, then reached for his mom again, and Lindsay handed Bobby her briefcase and took him gladly. They all left the day care center and went back to Bobby's apartment to have diner. Bobby ordered a pizza and they all sat down, as Little Bobby told them ALL about his day at day care. Lindsay and Bobby were pretty amused, but after 20 minutes he was still talking, and although it was adorible, Bobby had to use the restroom, and Lindsay got up to set the table, still listening to her son and smiling.
"And then we finger painted, and Ms. Michelle came over and told me my picture was pretty. She even said 'You're picture's pretty Bobby!' And I drew you, and me and Daddy." He said proudly, and Lindsay smiled.
"That's really good Sweetheart, I'm sure it was the nicest picture ever! Now when Daddy comes out of the bathroom, you have ta wash up for diner." She said, and he nodded. Then, after a few minutes of silence, he looked at Lindsay.
"Mommy?"
"Yep?" She asked as she set out napkins for everyone.
"Will you and Daddy and me all live together again one day?" he asked hopefully, and Lindsay froze, turning to her son and squating down so she could be his height.
"Sweety... you know what seperated means, right? I mean, me and Daddy explained it to you, right?" She asked, and he nodded.
"But one day?" He asked, and his tiny eyes looked so full of hope. She sighed.
"I dunno Baby. I dunno." She said, and even her eyes filled with tears as Bobby came out of the bathroom. A single tear ran down her cheek, and Bobby was alarmed. He looked at Little Bobby, who didn't look like he was the happiest little boy in the worled either. Bobby wasen't sure what to do.
"Hey Bud? Why don't you go wash up?" He asked, and Little Bobby walked to the bathroom, shutting the door. Bobby walked over to Lindsay carefully.
"Linds? What happened?" He asked slowly, putting his arms on hers, but she pulled away.
"Nothing."
"Lindsay..."
"Forget it Bobby. Let's just eat." She said, walking over to the other side of the table, but Bobby followed her.
"Lindsay, tell me what's wrong. I'm not gunna stop until you tell me." He said, and Lindsay realized this was the new Bobby, and he really wasen't gunna stop, so she gave in.
"Little Bobby just asked me if we were ever gunna live together again. I mean, I don't know Bobby. It's not even that I don't know if we are! It's that I don't know how to explain that to a one-year-old, Bobby. That you slept with her, that I left you, that he should be seeing both of us. And to think he wouldn't question it..." She trailed off. "He's one Bobby." She looked at him like a little puppy, and he embraced her again, except that this time she cried silently in his arms, and kept whispering 'he's one.' Bobby was scared. He had seen her brake down when she was being stalked- 4 times in total,- but never over something so personal. He wasen't sure what to do, so he just let her cry, until he heard the bathroom door open behind him. He continued rubbing her back, and whispered in her ear
"Linds, Little Bobby's right here." He said softly, and she sprang up from his shoulder, drying her eyes quickely. Bobby was scared for his son- the last thing the kid needed was to see his mom crying.
"Buddy? Hey Big Man! Come on, let's go play with your trucks, we're gunna have dinner a little later, since the pizza guy is kinda late." He said enthuasitcally, picking his son up. But Little Bobby pointed at Lindsay.
"Is Mommy crying?" He asked Bobby, but Bobby shook his head, then stopped.
"She was for a little, but she's not sad really. She just felt like crying for a little bit." Bobby said, but Little Bobby looked at his mom, and she nodded as to what Bobby said. So as long as everything was okay in Little Bobby's mind, he dragged his dad to his room to play with the trucks. Bobby looked over his shoulder as Lindsay mouthed 'thank you'. He just smiled and turned back around as Little Bobby took out all his trucks. Lindsay went over to the couch and sat silently, hugging a pillow. A few minutes later the pizza guy rang the bell, and Lindsay got up and paid him. She got diner all ready, then called them both back in. Little Bobby was happy now- he loved his truchs, and even Bobby was more enthusastic then before. He gave Lindsay a concerned look, but she flashed him a smile, and he returned the gesture and helped his son cut up his food. Little Bobby started to eat, and Bobby walked over to Lindsay in their kitchen, rubbing her back.
"You okay?" He asked, and she nodded.
"I just... I don't want him to get hurt," She said, and Bobby noded agreeing.
"Linds, neither do I, but I think you're getting more hurt then he is. He's only 1. You're... well, older than one." He smiled, and she laughed. She turned from the salads and put her hannds on his chest.
"Thank you. For before." She said, and he nodded.
"Anytime." He smiled, and she gave him a peck on the cheek. Bobby helped her bring in the salads, and they all ate, actually carrying a pretty decent conversation considdering what had just happened. Finally Little Bobby was done, and he jumped out of his chair and ran over to the movie cabinet. He pulled one out.
"Toy Storyyyyy!" He yelled, and Bobby and Lindsay laughed, just because of the number of times he had actually seen that movie. Lindsay nodded and Little Bobby cheered. Bobby went over and put the movie in, and Little Bobby's eyes were immediatly glued to the T.V.
"Bud, we just gotta clean up, then we'll come in and watch it with you." Bobby said, heading back to the kitchen, but all his son did was nod- his mouth was open as he watched the previews. Bobby laughed and went into the kitchen to help Lindsay with the dishes.
"When was the last time you helped me with this?" She asked, looking up at him as he put a plate in the dishwasher. He laughed.
"Today. I'm different now Linds. And you know it." He said with a grin, and she smiled and walked over to him. Bobby wasen't sure what was happening, but he felt her tounge down his throat, and as soon as he could he returned the gesture. She stoped.
"I'm... sorry." She said, looking down. "It was just..." But she didn't get to finish, because he came on to her, and she returned the gesture just as he did.
"We'll have to work on the case later." He said after he caught his breath.
"Bobby, I hope we'll do a little more that that." She said, and he led her to the T.V where their son was, slapping her ass just before she sat down. She smiled and rested her head on his shoulder, just as Buzz showed Woody how to fly. Bobby looked over t his son, then at his wife. Or his ex-wife. No... his wife.
