Author's Note: Okay, so the angst was fun, but my meter has returned to normal levels once again. My fluff meter, however, is feeling rather demanding. So, I give you fluff! Thanks to all my reviewers, you guys are fun! And disclaimer: not mine, never were, don't sue!

Summary: Or so he had thought, but he was wrong again.


There is a moment in life where one finds exactly what they have been suffering and striving for. It last only an instant, but that instant is carried within for a life time. For Detective Robert Goren he had thought that his moment was when he made Detective, first class. When that gold badge had been pinned to his chest, he had felt a sense of accomplishment and selfish pride he had thought that it was his moment.

He was incredibly wrong.

The first time he looked into her eyes and saw desire reflected back, he found his moment.

The first time her lips pressed against his with hunger and urgency, he found his moment.

That night, when his hands shaped her body, when his tongue tasted her, and when her moans of pleasure, he found his moment.

Or so he had thought, but he was wrong again. This morning when he woke with her in his arms and he whispered as softly as he could, "I love you Alex."

And sleepily she replied, "Love you too, Bobby. Now, shut up and let me sleep." He found his moment.
