THE COURT OF ASSISI

"Where were you on the night of the crime, Inspector Eames?"

Alexandra Eames looked at Goren, nodding her head, giving him a small smile.

She had to tell the truth, even if it meant losing her job.

Nothing was stronger than the feelings she had for him and the child she was carrying.

- That night ... She blushed, taking a deep breath. Goren shook his head. No, she wasn't ... She shouldn't! Not for him! I was with my partner, Robert Goren!

The assembly fell silent, looking back at Eames and Goren.

Logan nodded, looking at Barek, who was sitting next to him.

Both knew what was going on between his two there, and that the only evidence that proved Goren's innocence was that Eames was telling the truth about their relationship.

They had looked for all the evidence, all the clues, to prove Goren's innocence, but he had found nothing to exonerate him.

They had had a serious discussion with Eames, and she had told them that she was ready to leave everything for him.

- With Inspector Goren? The defense lawyer focused his question on the accused's name, staring at her with piercing eyes. And what is it that shows us that you are telling us the truth?

- Because…

Eames on her cell phone had a picture of Goren and her that night, which she had taken.

But that would not be proof, one could accuse him of having falsified it.

- No ! Goren had just screamed his words, making the lawyer jump and turn. Don't say anything Alex!

Alex!

So the accused called his partner by his first name?

The judge scratched his chin.

- Silence the accused! Or it will be contempt of court! Goren sat down, begging Emaes not to say anything. Inspector Eames you can continue!

The judge glared at Goren, making him understand that he had no interest in intervening again.

Alex nodded, returning his gaze to Goren.

Eames had a secret, secret from that night. That even the main person didn't know.

- Because we have sex together! Goren blushed fiercely at his words, his mouth wide open. She had dared! And after that night… She looked at Goren with shining eyes. I am expecting a child!

Carver couldn't believe his ears.

He looked at Goren, who was as surprised at the news as he was.

He was beginning to understand Eames' insistence on proving Goren's innocence.

He was the father of her child.

And above all, they were together!

He hadn't even noticed it.

Come to think of it, there had been signs that shouldn't have fooled him.

Goren without a word, stood there, his mouth open looking at her.

Could this be true?

He still couldn't believe it!

Alex had just broken everything! His job, his future in the police force! And all that for him!

But above all, she was pregnant!

- I'm sorry I didn't tell you! She was pacing in the small cell. I didn't know how to admit it to you!

Goren grabbed Eames, by the waist, stopping her, and tilting her back onto the diaper.

- I am not angry ! He had his head in his hand, contemplating her. Quite the contrary!

Alex blushes violently!

Goren held her under his strong body, placing small kisses on her face.

He let his hand wander over his little crops.

He took possession of her lips.

- My Alex, my little Alex!

He ran his hands under her shirt, gently pulling it off her.

Eames let him do it, baring parts of her body, which made her blush.

The place wasn't ideal, but she didn't care, she wanted it too.

To her surprise, he did not undo her bra.

But let her hands wander over her body, where the parts were bare.

Goren stopped his fingers on her small stomach.

He put his hand down gently, brought his mouth together and kissed her.

- You're a girl ? A boy ?

Alex smiles.

She brought her hand to her half-ebony, half-peppery curls, stroking them.

He was so cute.

So endearing.

The Goren she loved and knew well.

He lifted his head, gazing at her with shining eyes.

She took his face in her hands, bringing her face closer to his, gently took his lips.

He hugged her.
