Sorry I took so long. I'm down in Florida, rarely getting on. And I'm going to start a job soon, so it might be even longer. I hope to be done before September.

Anywho, on with the story.

Jesse's POV

I looked over at Ryan, sighing slightly. Out of all the times for him to leave me with one of the sick cases, like diaharea and vomiting, now was the worst.

"Not now, Ryan." I said quickly, turning back to Susannah.

"Actually, I kind of have some news." He said, confusing me deeply.

"Go ahead." Susannah said, before I could speak.

"Well, Suze is pregnant."

She gasped next to me and I looked at her in awe. "You... You're... You're pregnant." I stuttered.

Susannah's hands were over her mouth, but I could see her smile in her eyes. It was an infectious smile. I had an overwhelming desire to pull her into my arms, holding her tightly. She looked up at me with glistening eyes, wrapping her arms loosely around my shoulders.

I was still trying to absorb this. I pretty much gave up on the chance of having my own child when we got those test results back. But now, it was more surreal than joyous. Don't get me wrong, I was thrilled. But shock was kind of over powering.

At a loss for words, I still felt obliged to respond. So, I kissed her of course. It was a simple one, but it was still full with overwhelming passion. For Susannah.

I barely registered Ryan leave before Susannah rested her head on my chest. I felt a familiar protective feeling as I stroked her head, kissing her hair softly.

She let out a sigh before looking up into my eyes. "I wanna keep this baby." She said.

"Of course were keeping the baby! Were you seriously thinking that we were going to put it up for adoption or have an aborti-" Susannah quickly shut up my rant with a single finger.

"I meant I want to raise the boy." She told me, indicating the baby sleeping next to us.

"Oh." I couldn't believe that I had forgotten about him. Even if it was for a minute or two. I was able to hold him briefly earlier and for those few minutes I really bonded with him. It was such a strong, unexplainable feeling.

"Really?" I asked smiling like a boy who's mom just told him he could get a puppy.

Susannah grinned. "Yeah." She said.

Filled with an unexplainable joy, I picked her up, spinning her around. She leaned down and kissed me,parting her lips slightly. I could feel her smile and laugh against my lips.

"Te amo, Querida."I whispered.

"I love you too." She whispered back as I set her back down.

"I'll go get Jane and tell her." I said, walking out.

Suze's POV

"I need both of you to sign here, here, and here." Jane told us, pointing to lines on the paperwork. We were sitting in the doctor's lounge, both Jesse and I munching on some french fries since we hadn't eaten all day.

We signed the papers quickly and eagerly. We've had a baby room ready for a few months now, and we couldn't wait to put someone in that crib.

"Congratulations." She said, grinning as she picked up all the papers. She told us that we would need to come back when we had settled on a name for the baby, but we could take him home.

Once she left, Jesse and I went up to the maternity ward, where they moved the baby. He was in the nursury, so we simply stood there, watching him sleep.

"I'm told that he will be here for a few days under observation, which should give us enough time make sure the baby's room is ready." Jesse said, wrapping his arms around my waist, stroking a thumb on my belly. Where another baby was waiting to meet us. I put my hand on his.

"I still can't believe it. We're actually starting a family." I said smiling, turning around in his arms and leaning against the window.

"I know." His voice was soft, but his smile was bright. "We've been waiting so long, but it'sfinally worth it."

"Were going to have to re-furnish one of the guest rooms. For this little surprise." I told him, motioning towards my own stomach. We had four bedrooms: the master, the kid's, and two guest rooms, with one of them serving as more of a computer room.

"We'll figure it out later." He said. As if on cue, his beeper went off. Jesse took it out, sighing. "Nombre de Dios..." He muttered. "I have to go. It's on of my patients." He gave me a quick kiss. "Love you. I should be home around 10:30."

"I'll be waiting..." I said. Hey, we had alot to celebrate tonight. And I couldn't go out for a drink, so waiting up for Jesse was my only option. And what a excellent option it was...

"Where have you been?" CeeCee asked as I walked back into the office. "You do realize that your photos are due in ten minutes." She then smirked slightly. "You know, when you said you were 'having lunch with Jesse' I didn't know to translate that to 'four hour booty call.'"

"Ha ha..." I said, taking out the proofs and the disk of pictures of a gas station that had just been robbed, and was going to have a full length article in tommorow's paper.

"And no. No booty call was involved. Well, technically..." A baby is normally made through those means. "Anyways, I'm pregnant." I said casually. "And, oh yeah, we adopted a baby too."

CeeCee's mouth simply dropped, as she tried to find the words. "I- I- But-..."

"Exactly." I said, grinning as I walked to the editor's office.

"Oh, thank God. You made it." Ellen, the Editor from Hell said. "I thought I was going to have to take the damn pictures myself."

She yanked the pictures and the diskout of my hand and put the disk in the computer, putting some into the computer to put into the article.

"Sorry I was late. But I also need to tell you something." I began tenativly.

"Shoot."

"OK. Well, the reason I was gone forso long is because my Husband and I adopted a baby this afternoon. And I'm going to need some maternity leave." I crossed my fingers for luck behind my back, praying she would let me off.

She looked up from behind the screen, staring at me over her glasses. "Well, whose going to take the pictures? Those two other photographers won't be able to do your work for you."

"I'll take them." CeeCee's voice said enthusiastically behind me. I turned to look at her, along with Ellen.

"But youra reporter. how will you find-"

"I'll make time. I'm a very good multitasker. And my Dad taught me how to use a camera."

Ellen breathed through her nostrils, pursing her lips. "Fine. Suze gets a month off paid, and CeeCee's the new photographer."

"Thank you so much." I said, breathing a heavy sigh of relief as I turned around to CeeCee.

"I owe you big time." I told her, hugging her tightly.

"It's no big. All you have to do, though, is bring the baby here to visit." She demanded, which I quickly agreed to.

I quickly picked up some stuff from my desk, gave CeeCee the camera, and went home.

All done!

I'll have the next one up ASAP!

Review please!
