- Think carefully... Alex... Rita holding Chris Junior in her arms, cradled him. Why not ask for a transfer.
Eames turned his head, looked at the ceiling.
Requesting a transfer...
Eames hadn't thought about it.
She wanted to stay close to Goren.
And if she was transferred...
She wouldn't be able to team up with him anymore.
But on the other hand...
She could be with Goren.
No longer hiding their relationship.
But would Goren see this as a good thing.
He had a hard time keeping a partner.
She was the only one who had stayed that long.
Six years...
But this was different.
Unlike the others...
Eames estimated Goren at its true value.
She had never disparaged his work.
Quite the contrary.
And above all...
He was her equal.
Even if she had a higher rank...
To her...
Goren was a very good detective.
- A smaller position... Or you would be a simple officer.
At her words, Eames snapped out of his thoughts, and turning his head, looked at Lee Lance, who gave him a tender smile.
Rita looked at Chris Junior, and took his little hand in hers.
- Chris Junior will have a boyfriend or girlfriend in seven months...
At her words, Eames looked at Rita intrigued. The internal doctor confirmed it to me.
In seven months...
The internal doctor had confirmed it to her...
What's Rita was trying to make him understand.
Eames didn't understand anything.
And then everything became clear.
God...
Her late period...
Her nausea that had started overnight...
And that had stopped all of a sudden.
Could it be possible...
- Yes... Lee Lance nodded. You are pregnant.
Pregnant...
Her words tumbled around in her head.
She was having a baby.
Damn it...
It was quite possible.
She and Goren had never protected.
They had known each other for six years...
And they trusted each other.
So this protection had not been their priority
And they had forgotten that an accident could happen.
Eames knew very well who the father was.
She had no doubt about it.
She had only slept with one man.
So that was why Rita had told her about some kind of mutation.
And the hint of a boyfriend and girlfriend for Chris Junior.
But how to announce it...
To tell Goren.
He had told her he was not the right man for this kind of thing.
Would he take it the wrong way.
Would he decide to run away.
So many questions were running through her mind.
But she was so happy.
She was going to have a little flesh and blood being.
A part of the man she loved...
And a part of her.
She couldn't have been happier.
But Eames grew darker.
What if Goren didn't want the baby…
- I'm going to request my transfer...
Eames had thought about Lee Lance's words.
And it was the best solution.
At Eames' words, Goren jumped, feeling a deep anguish rise up in him.
Eames wanted to leave him...
No, that could not be possible.
He had misheard his words.
Eames could not.
He had thought...
- Why... In Goren's voice, there was an immense anxiety. Have I done something wrong...
Eames shook his head in denial.
- Yes... Eames gave a small, enigmatic smile to his lips. You did do something...
He did do something...
But what...
And why she had to smile...
My God...
What could he have done...
To make Eames want to be transferred.
At the concern on Goren's face, Eames' smile widened.
Good God...
As usual...
Goren thought he had done something.
Why did he always doubt himself.
He was so afraid she would leave him.
But him...
Wouldn't he leave her when he heard the news.
Little by little, his smile faded, giving way to a deep sadness.
She had to take her courage in both hands...
And tell him the truth.
Eames held out his hand to Goren, who noticed the change in Eames' mood.
She had gone from joy...
To sadness.
He hesitantly took her hand in his, intertwining his fingers with hers. Eames pulled him, forcing him closer to her.
- I must tell you a secret...
A secret...
What was wrong with Eames.
She motioned with her finger for him to come closer.
Goren lowered his face close to hers, and Eames brought his lips close to her ear, brushing it.
- I'll have to take care of you two...
Take care of you two...
What did Eames try to tell her.
And first...
Who was this other.
Was this why Eames wanted to be transferred.
Should he take care of this second person.
- I don't understand...
Good God...
He was so slow to understand.
He didn't understand.
Couldn't she be more clear.
Gently, she put Goren's hand on her belly, looked at him with her big, bright hazel eyes.
The hand on Eames' belly...
And the radiant face she had at that moment.
Reminded him of the face she had, when she had carried his sister's child.
But behind this joy...
There was a deep sadness.
What was Eames she afraid of...
But suddenly...
He understood.
Could it be possible...
At Goren's puzzled face, Eames nodded.
- You're going to be a dad... She tried to smile, but the features of her face, and her big hazel eyes had this deep concern. If you want it...
Damn it...
Of course he wanted to.
Even if he didn't feel ready yet.
He wanted to build something with Eames.
To build a future together.
And this unborn child was his chance.
Goren looked at Eames' belly, and at his face.
Eames was waiting for his answer.
If he didn't want this child...
She would deal with it.
And she would take care of this child herself.
She could not force such a thing on him.
But in her heart of hearts...
Eames really hoped that Goren would want of this new life.
This life...
That was a part of both of them.
- Of course I do...
At his words, all the worry vanished from Eames, to let an immense love beat for this man.
His face lit up, a big smile appeared on his lips, his big hazel eyes shone with excitement.
Damn it...
It didn't take much to make Eames happy.
Eames was such a simple woman.
And this woman was going to be the mother of his child.
He couldn't have wished for anything better.
- I thought...
He put his finger to his lips, shook his head in denial.
- I said I wasn't the right man for the situation... It's true. He put his hand on the back of her neck, looked away, not daring to look at her, everything embarrassing. But for you... For your happiness... He stopped, leaving a blank, and took his courage in both hands. I want to create a family with you.
At his words, Eames' heart beat violently in his chest.
So Goren really of this child.
And he wanted to create a family with her.
It was too good to be true.
And yet...
The way he blushed, and was all embarrassed...
It was true.
Eames grabbed Goren's face in her hands, turned him to face her, forced him to lower his face to hers, and took possession of her lips with passion.
