Chapter 5

Terri went into OTS and was helping them try to authenticate the video that Stiles sent. It was going to be difficult to prove or disprove that this was Bin Laden. They really couldn't find anything either way. Terri just missed Stiles so much and wanted him to come home.

Stiles was gone for almost 2 and 1/2 weeks, when they finally felt they had restored the ministry and it was safe. Lex was sent in. Stiles was sitting on the desk talking to Leyya, who had just been released from the hospital. "Hey Stiles! What's new?"

"You're here so I get to go home soon." Stiles told Lex as he shook hands with him.

"Oh, Terri sent this for you."

Stiles opened the package it was her latest sonogram. Stiles just smiled as he looked at it. "Is that what I think?"

"I don't know Stiles she wouldn't even talk to us about it. She didn't even let us see it." Lex told him as he looked over his shoulder. "But I'm thinking you might be right."

Stiles picked up his cell phone and called Terri. "Lex just got here and gave me the sonogram." Stiles walked into another room so he could talk to Terri in private. Lex stood by Leyya's desk trying to hear what Stiles was saying.

"Its a boy!" Terri said into the phone. "I know we didn't want to find out, but he was just positioned right and I couldn't help but see that it was a boy."

"Really?"

"I know we decided to wait. You're not mad at me are you?"

Stiles laughed, "No, I'm not mad at you. You were the one who said you wanted to be surprised. I just can't believe it. We're having a boy." Stiles was so excited, but he remembered Terri was hoping for a girl. "Terri I know you wanted a little girl, you're not too disappointed are you?"

"No. It didn't really matter to me; as long as he's healthy that's all that really matters. You are happy aren't you?"

"I would have been just as happy if it was a girl, we just have to hope our next one is a girl."

Terri and Stiles continued talking for a little while. Stiles would be coming home in a few days.

After hanging up the phone Stiles walked back out into the main room, everyone noticed he couldn't stop smiling. "It's a boy. We're having a boy."

Leyya was the first to congratulate him. He showed them all the sonogram. He finished up his meetings with Manzoor, and Shamsullah and called Carl. "Hey Carl, everything here is all finished, well my part anyway."

"You want to come home early and surprise Terri?"

"Well."

"Get yourself on a plane and get home to your wife Stiles. I know how much she misses you."

Stiles had it all worked out; his plane would get in at 4:00. He called Kevin and asked if he could pick him up at the airport. He then called Helen and asked her if she would do him a really big favor and make dinner for the two of them. Helen was so happy that Stiles was coming back, she knew how worried Terri was she agreed to make him anything he wanted, he told her to make Terri's favorite.

Stiles called Terri before he left for the airport. "Hey, I don't think I'll get another chance to call you. I'm going to be in meetings all day." Stiles had been calling to talk to her several times a day, once things calmed down there.

"I'm going to miss talking to you later."

"Well, I just want to get everything done. Look on the bright side, I should be able to leave here in a couple of days."

"Well, I guess I can deal with not being able to talk to you the rest of today, if it means you'll get home to me sooner. I love you."

"I love you too. I'll talk to you tomorrow." He could hear the disappointment in Terri's voice. Terri was a little upset that it didn't bother him not to talk to her tonight, he even sounded excited. At first she got mad but then she just figured he was focusing on coming home.

Kevin picked Stiles up at the airport. "Welcome home Stiles. Terri has been going crazy missing you."

"I can't believe how much I missed her. Did she tell you? Its a boy."

"Yes she called us after you saw the sonogram. She wanted to make sure no one else knew before you." Stiles smiled, he was a little surprised she wouldn't tell anyone before he knew.

When Stiles walked in the front door, he knew Helen was there cooking. She came out of the kitchen and gave him a big hug. "Welcome home."

"Thanks. Thanks for doing all this."

"Anything for Terri, you know that."

"What do I need to do in there?" Helen took Stiles in the kitchen and told him exactly what he needed to do to finish up the dinner. He looked at his watch. "Terri should be home in about 20 minutes."

"Well then I'll get out of here. You two enjoy your evening."

"Thanks again. I really appreciate this."

Stiles ran around setting the dining room table, and lighting candles. Twenty minutes after Helen left Terri walked in the door. She smelled her mother's cooking. "Mom what are you doing here?" Terri called out as she walked into the kitchen; she froze when she saw him there. "Stiles!"

She ran into his arms. Stiles held her and kissed her. "I missed you so much." Terri told him through her tears. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I wanted to surprise you. Your brother picked me up at the airport and your mother cooked dinner for us."

"You are incredible Mr. Stiles."

"Only because of you."

Terri and Stiles enjoyed a relaxing dinner. Afterwards they cuddled up on the couch in front of a fire and talked about everything that had happened in the 2 1/2 weeks he was gone. Stiles wanted to know minute by minute everything he missed.
