Four weeks later...
It had been four weeks since Riggs and Palmer's night of passion. They both rekindled a spark that never seem to die away. Everyone was happy for them, especially Roger, whose words were, "It's about damn time!"
None the less, Riggs and Palmer couldn't be any happier. So happy that she decided to relocate to LA for good just to be close to the man she loved.
One night, while on the phone with her, Riggs was all smiles; the last time he smiled that much was when he was with Miranda. He was sitting on the beach talking to Palmer.
"I know...yeah...yeah...okay. I will see you tomorrow. I love you." Riggs then hung up the phone, grabbed his empty beer bottles and walked back to the trailer.
As he settled himself in, he heard his phone vibrate. Thinking it was a text from Palmer, he smiled while taking it out of his pocket until he saw an unknown number. Curiously, he opened up the text and saw it was a text from Denise! She had sent him a selfie of herself wearing nothing but black lingerie.
'Oh my God...' he thought.
Another message went through that read: 'Something for you to look at later on. Thinking of you, my sweet love. ;)'
He quickly got out of the message and shut his phone off.
"How did she get my number?" Riggs asked himself.
Denise watched Riggs every move on her phone. She was naked while laying on her stomach on her bed. She smiled down as he laid on the couch of the trailer. She saw him look at his phone and then put it down on the table. She smiled to herself knowing that the man she loved saw her picture.
"I knew he would see how much I mean to him."
The next day, Riggs drove to Rogers house and invited himself in though the side door.
"You know, you could give me aheads up. That would be nice." Roger stated.
"But that will spoil the surprise." Riggs responded. "I need to show you something."
Riggs pulled out his phone and showed Roger the texts Denise sent him. There were other messages sent after that and they read:
'Good morning, my love.'
'I missed you but you were with me in my dreams.'
'Did you think of me last night?'
'What did you think of my little something?'
'WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING ME?'
"Good Lord..." Roger said as he looked at the messaged. "She sent you a naked photo?"
"What are you guy's looking at?" Riana asked as she was getting orange juice out of the fridge.
"Nothing, baby. Eat your breakfast." Roger grabbed toast and threw it at Riana.
Riana gave her father a look and walked away.
"How did she get your number?" Roger asked.
"That's the thing, I don't know!" Riggs replied. "She's starting to scare me a little."
"I thought you turned her down." Roger said.
"I did! I told her about Palmer and she won't let up!" Riggs told Roger.
Meanwhile, Denise was on Roger's block watching Roger's house, knowing Riggs was inside. However, she was far away enough for no one to realize she was in the area.
One week later...
While in deep concentration in the case, Palmer started to feel somewhat sick. In fact, she was sick to her stomach in the morning but couldn't afford to stay home and not work on the case of the murdered couple. Not being able to take it anymore, she ran out of her office, pushed Bailey out of the way and threw up in the bathroom. Bailey followed and held her hair back.
"Geeze, Palmer. You okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine..." she looked up at him with teary eyes.
Bailey started to get worried.
"How long have you been feeling this way?"
"I don't know. A few weeks maybe. I'm okay though." Palmer chuckled.
"Oh..." Bailey made a face.
"What?" Palmer asked.
"I think you should tell Avery that you need go home and rest up." Avery told her. "I mean, thats what I would do..."
Denise was sitting in the lot of the LAPD until she recognized Palmer walking to her car.
"That's the bitch trying to take Martin from me." She said to herself.
Moments later, Palmer walked out of work and to her car. The first thing she did before going home was drive to a pharmacy. She couldn't be what she thought she was. Little did she know, Denise was on her tail, for she recognized her as the woman who Riggs was in love with. She saw a CVS and told herself, "Thank God," and pulled into the lot. As she walked into the store, she asked an associate, "Hi. What aisle is family planning?"
"Asile 12." The associate said with a smile.
Palmer walked to the back. Denise came a few minuets later and made sure not to be seen. She followed Palmer to aisle 12. She found Palmer looking at pregnancy tests. Pretending to be looking at something, Denise turned to glance at Palmer, who briefly met eyes with her and gave a smile to. Denise smiled back and noticed the pregnancy test she was looking at.
"Oh. If you are looking for one of those? I recommend First Response." Denise said with a smile.
Palmer turned to face her and said, "Oh yeah?"
"Oh trust me." Denise chuckled. "I've had a scare or two back in the day but I have to say First Response is the best one you can go with. You get the best results of you take it in the morning."
Palmer thought about what Denise told her and said, "Good point. Thanks."
"No problem. And look! It's on sale and you get a $1.00 coupon!" Denise pointed out excitedly.
Palmer looked at the box and smiled.
"Wow. What would've I done without you?"
Both women laughed and Denise extended her hand.
"I'm Denise." She said with a smile.
Taken aback, Palmer shook her hand and said, "Oh...Karen."
The women chuckled again and looked at one another.
"Listen, I need to purchase this so, I'm going to hop on line." Karen said as she started to walk up to the register. "But it was nice meeting you and thanks for the recommendation. Has anyone told you that you're an angel that fell out of no where?"
"My fiance has told me that. He's a detective actually." Denise giggled as she walked with Palmer to the register.
"Interesting...I might know him."
"Yeah...I believe you do." Denise stared at her hard. "Well, good luck."
Palmer smiled and went to pay for the pregnancy test and Denise walked out of the store. Her face went from happy to scornful when she walked back to her car. As she got settled in, she watched Palmer walk into her car and drive home. This was a chance for Denise to follow her to her house.
The next evening, Palmer called up Riggs to meet her in a coffee shop. He did so and saw her sitting alone with a gift bag.
"Hey. How are you feeling? You weren't at work today." He asked after he gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Sit down, Martin." Palmer pointed to the chair across from her.
As Riggs sat down, Palmer started to talk, "I hadn't been feeling like myself for a few days so I took a test this morning."
Now Riggs was worried. Palmer handed Riggs the gift bag and he opened it, only to find baby booties inside. He was confused and said, "What do little shoes have to do with you being sick?"
Palmer smiled and said, "Babe...I'm pregnant."
Suddently, Riggs face went from worried to surprised. He had already lost a child and he felt like he was given a second chance at miracles.
"Now is the time to say something?" Palmer chuckled nervously.
"Are you serious? You're...you're actually pregnant? There is a..." Palmer cut Riggs off with laughs and tears coming from her eyes.
They both stood up and embraced each other. They didn't care if people were looking at them because they were so happy. Riggs cupped Palmer's face with his hands and said, "I love you and our baby."
"I love you too." Palmer responded.
From outside, Denise sat in her car and waited until they came out of the coffee shop. She heard everything that went on even Palmer saying, "I was looking at pregnancy tests yesterday when this angel of a woman recommended First Response..."
She heard them laughing and having fun from the coffee shop. Riggs and Palmer walked out holding hands and kissing one another. Feeling anger rush over her, Denise pulled out of her spot and drove off, not caring she almost hit a family crossing the street. Once she finally pulled over on a dark, isolated street, she banged her hands on the steering wheel and screamed until her lunges haves out. She hit her head on the steering wheel until she bled. Panting from her screaming fit, she said to herself, "That bitch is going to pay...even if it means killing her...she will pay..."
