Alex and Bobby get together because Alex invites Bobby to a costume part. It's just for some fun, nothing heavy.

Takes place end of season 2, but well before Alex is preggers.

The Sword and the Penpart 1

"The easiest thing for you to do, Eames," Bobby Goren says, "is to just tell me."

"Ask you," Alex Eames corrects. She's looking down, pushing ice cubes around in her drink.

"Okay. Ask me." His long finger gently nudges her hand, getting her attention. "That's ask me, as in your partner. Come on, just…spit it out!"

"Bobby, I, well…"

"Go on."

"A couple weekends ago, I got really drunk."

"Okay." He pauses. He curls his fingers around hers, gently squeezing. "Whatever you need, Alex – anything at all. I'm here. You know that."

"Oh, it's nothing that….serious," and Alex smiles, she hopes reassuringly, as she realizes what Goren must be thinking. She's amazed by her partner's unconditional offer of support, and tucks it away for further contemplation. For the moment, she keeps hold of his hand. He doesn't seem to mind.

"Well, one weekend, I met with some girlfriends I went to college with. Good God, I haven't gotten that drunk in… I don't know how long."

"Oh! A weekend before… It must have been that Monday!"

"Yeah…you remember?"

"You were miserable."

"I wasn't ready to talk about it, any of it."

"I'm getting that now."

"The party wasn't all that bad, really," she explains. "We met at Alicia's house in Princeton – she married a doctor, a sugeon – and we stayed overnight. There were five of us, and, well, anyway…"

"Did the local constable have to make a house call?"

Alex laughs and so does Bobby. It feels good, seeing him smile. "No and neither did the fire department. But I did promise to, well we were playing a drinking game, kinda like truth or dare, and I promised to, oh God…"

"Eames -- out with it!"

"Okay! Bobby, will you go to a party with me?"

"That's it?"

"What do you mean?"

"After all this, that's all you want to ask me?"

"Well yeah, but there's just one thing…"

"And what's that, Eames."

"It's a…" she takes a deep breath, "it's a costume party."

"Oh." Bobby stares at her, lips pursed. "But it's not Halloween."

"No kidding, Genius, this is April. But it's her 40th birthday party, and this is what she wants. A costume party."

"I see." Bobby wipes his mouth with a big palm, and clears his throat. "I, uh," he begins.

"Look, I – it would mean a lot to me, if you do this. I…I really need a date, and I'd like it to you be you. I'll get you a costume."

"Of course."

"Of course, what, Bobby?"

"I mean, of course I'll take you to the party." He smiles. "And I can get my own costume, Eames." He gestures toward her. "I should, uh, know what you're, you know, wearing…?"

"Why?" Alex feels heat spread from her neck to her face, and flow through her veins to the rest of her body. She prays the low lighting hides what she knows is a rosy flush.

"I just thought that, well you and I, going together," Bobby falters, and stops.

"No, Bobby. That, uh, won't work, because what I have to wear --it was part of the, the dare. And I don't want to talk about it right now. Just get whatever you want, whatever you feel most comfortable."

"What fits, you mean."

"Yeah. I suppose." Alex smiles, and then giggles a little. "The party is in Princeton, and we can take the train, or drive, whatever you want."

"I'll drive."

"She has a huge, beautiful house. We can change there, and we could even…" Alex pauses, staring into Bobby's beautiful big brown eyes, eyes that are also now quite amused.

"We could even what? Get a free physical from the good Doctor?"

"Very funny, Goren! No, we could, if we want to, stay overnight. If it gets late, and we're having… you know…"

"No, I have no idea. Having what?"

"Lots of fun! Where's your sense of adventure?"

"You'll see it at the party."

"I can hardly wait!"

"When is it?"

"It's… this weekend, on Saturday," she covers her face with her hands, "you can't make it, can you."

"Eames, it's okay. Yes. I can."

By the time they leave, Alex has a couple more drinks, so she lets Bobby drive her home. She knows it makes him feel better, and she enjoys his protective nature, more than she admits.

Bobby unlocks her front door and walks her in.

"Wanna come in for a cup of coffee, Bobby?"

"No, thanks, it's really late. I have to go. But," he sets her keys down on the small table.

He has her attention. "What is it?"

"Alex," he takes both her hands in his, "I need to understand one thing. We're going to this party, on a date. As a… couple? Is that right?"

"Um, yes. Actually, yes, that's uh, important."

"Important."

"Ah.. Yeah."

"I'm not going to ask why."

"That's a good idea."

"Fair enough." He takes a step closer, and her heart starts to jackhammer. "But I just… need to get used to the idea." One large hand cups her face, his thumb strokes her chin.

"Used to…" She loses speech when his free hand slips around her waist to the small of her back and pulls her body flush against his.

"Yeah. Practice." His lips are soft but urgent as they possess hers, one at a time, sucking gently, and his fingers slips around her neck and feather into her hair. Her knees weaken and his arm tightens around her waist. He actually lifts her, while his mouth hungrily seeks more. "Mmmm, Alex," he breathes, and angles his head, to kiss her more thoroughly.

Then gently, swiftly, he lowers her to the floor. With some satisfaction she sees his skin is flushed and his eyes are dark. He rubs his thumb over her lips, bends and kisses her one more time. She grabs his hand and kisses the thumb that just caressed her, brushing it with her tongue.

"Mmm, that was nice, Goren."

Bobby drags his knuckles down her neck, letting them rest for a moment in the hollow of her neck. For just a heartbeat, neither of them breathes.

"Real nice, Eames."

"I'll see you tomorrow, then?"

"Yeah, tomorrow. Sleep well."

Bobby kisses her hand, and releases her, and she watches him makes his way home in the night.
