Chapter Three

Chris smiled as he walked into the D.A.'s office. He looked around for a little bit before finding Tracey's office. He smiled again as he saw that his wife was in the office alone. He knocked on the door slightly before stepping in. "Hey, sweetie," he said as he walked over to her.

Tracey smiled up at him from her desk. A few weeks had passed since she found out she was pregnant. "Are we going to tell them?" she asked curiously. Although it had been a few weeks, she and Chris were still the only two people who knew about the baby.

"Do you really think we should?" Chris asked. "It is still early. I don't want to jinx it or anything."

Tracey rolled her eyes. "Chris, we're not telling everyone that we're dating. We're telling them that we're having a baby." She sighed as she glanced down at her desk. "Besides, I have to let Arthur know pretty soon. Some of these cases do take longer than I'd like them to, and I would like some weeks off before my due date just to ensure that I won't go into labor in the courtroom."

"Do you really think that could happen?" Chris asked.

"I don't want to take the chance," Tracey said. "And I'm the pregnant one," she added as she reached for a small bag of carrots from the top drawer of her desk.

Chris smiled and kissed her forehead. "Ok, if you want to tell them, then we can tell them today," he promised. "Just one thing," he added as he stepped back and looked at her.

"What?" Tracey asked. "Is something wrong with my makeup?"

Chris shook his head. "No, nothing like that. It's just your hair," he said.

Tracey frowned. "What about my hair?" she asked. "Don't you like it?"

"O-of course I do," he assured her. "It's just that you shouldn't really wear it in a bun. You kind of look like Frasier's wife from Cheers when you do that." He instantly frowned. "Except you're so much prettier," he quickly added. "And you have a better personality, and you're hotter, and--"

Tracey rolled her eyes as she undid her hair. "Relax," she said as she grabbed Chris's hand. "I understand what you mean." She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him. "Ready to tell them?" she asked.

"Tell them what?" came the feminine voice from the doorway. Tracey and Chris picked up their heads and looked over at Tracey's partner, ADA Kelly Gaffney. "Sorry. I didn't mean to butt in, but we need some of those files," she said as she gestured at Tracey's desk.

Tracey smiled at the other woman. "Chris, this is my partner Kelly Gaffney," she introduced. "Kelly, this is my husband Chris Ravell," she finished.

Chris smiled as he wrapped an arm around Tracey. "It's nice to meet you," he said politely. "Tracey's told me many wonderful things about you."

Kelly beamed proudly. "I've heard some things about you," she said. "Nice to finally meet you as well," she continued as she walked into the room. "And kudos for getting her to take down the Lilith hair."

"Thank you!" Chris said as Kelly grabbed some papers from Tracey's desk. He turned to his wife. "I like her," he said. "We should have her over for dinner sometime."

Tracey smiled. "Yea, I like her, too," she admitted. She sighed before turning back to Chris. "Ready to make the big announcement?"

Chris nodded. "Sure thing," he said as he grabbed Tracey's hand.
