An Affair To … Yada, Yada, Yada
Cuddling on the couch, watching her favorite Cary Grant movie, at the same time they recite..
"It's the closest thing to Heaven we have in New York City!"
That famous line. They both start to laugh. Bobby squeezes her tighter and whispers in her ear…
"You and Baby G G and G are the closet thing to Heaven in New York City!"
Alex grabs the remote, turns off Cary Grant and turns on Robert Goren. She turns to face him and starts by nuzzling his neck, letting her hands roam in his curly hair. He brings his lips to hers and once again finds his hand touching her baby bump … bumps. She grabs his hand and places it on her expanding and sensitive breast. He runs his thumb around her interested peaked nipple. He can't get enough of her taste … he never wants to stop kissing her, the way their lips touch and flirt with each others tongue. The tangle … the dance, the preamble to love making … the kiss. Her hands move out of his hair and down to his belt. She massages lightly over the fabric of the Levis that he's fully packing. He in turn starts to un-tuck her tank top and proceeds to pull it off. He unsnaps her bra as she is releasing him from his pants only breaking the kiss to remove her shirt. Bobby picks her up and carries her off to the bedroom where he makes love to his wife for the remainder of the afternoon … never once thinking about the last two years of his life, what's going on with Mike and Carolyn or Declan Gage and the meaning of freedom. He had all he ever wanted … he had all he never knew, he wanted.
After their marathon love making session and a short nap, Alex decided to broach the subject of work again with Bobby. They were due to go back in a weeks time with clearance from Bobby's family Doctor … he was exhausted and diagnosed as such, she wanted to make sure she had a partner.
As they lie there, both sated and pleasantly exhausted she wonders aloud …
"I wonder what's happening with Mike and Lynnie?"
"I'm sure they're fine … I would have pressed you harder if I thought the task force was incompetent. Their not … I'm sure everyone is safe."
"Meaning, you would have been safe."
"And you would have been worried, that's not good for the babies. I thought this subject was closed?"
"Are you coming back to Major Case?"
"Yeah … I thought that case was closed too. What's up with you?"
"I want my Partner back …my quirky, crazy, mind game playing, brilliant , acquired taste, Partner back."
"Oh, him … I'm not sure if he's still around. A lot of water broke threw that damn ... there were a lot of leaks. I'm not sure where to look for him any more Ally … um … Eames."
"Well, as a 'magician' once said, you can still pull off the big solve. You're still brilliant."
"I'm no longer an acquired taste?"
"I love the way you taste."
"See now, I think you're talking about your husband … not your Partner."
"Oh, whatever."
"Soon we're going to be hearing that in triplicate!"
"Oh my gosh! We need to go tell my parents. I can't wait to see the look on Dad's face when he hears that there are three more grandchildren coming."
"I can't wait to see the look on Ross's face."
"Bobby don't ruin my mood!"
"Alex, lets tell him that they're identical boys and we're going to raise them to be cops. He'll have nightmares that there are four of me under his command … he'll go crazy … he'll lose his mind." Bobby is laughing hysterically, something he hasn't done since he an Alex fell off the bed. Not that long ago actually … Bobby is finally happy … or he has happy moments and that's saying a lot.
"I'm glad you find yourself funny …" her lips start to turn up … now she's laughing hysterically … yup that's funny … four Bobby's would drive a Saint to a rubber room!
"Okay, okay … call your Mom and Dad … I have an idea. I'll pick you all up, you go on over and tell them we want to take them out to dinner before our schedule gets crazy with work again. I have to arrange a few things."
"What are you up to Robert Goren?"
"You'll see. Now scoot."
Alex gets dressed for a night out and heads over to her parents. Bobby gets to work on his surprise for Alex and her parents. He makes a few phone calls, orders some tickets and even gets Lewis involved in his elaborate plan. After all is said and done and he's totally satisfied, he hops in his Shelby and goes to pick up the Eames.
Lewis had quite the task at hand, it involved a trip to a book store. A bit of research, a copy machine and a trip to Kinkos. His head was hurting … he could take a car apart and put it back together but a book store? The things he gets himself involved in … for Bobby … and Detective Alex of course.
Bobby pulls up to the Eames' where they are sitting on the porch drinking some ice tea waiting on him. He gets out of the car and runs up to the porch.
"Hi everybody."
"Hello Son … Alex tells us you have a surprise for us."
"Yes Sir … Come on, lets go … in the 'hotrod' everyone."
Bobby drives to midtown Manhattan, he reaches his destination and says …
"It's the closest thing to Heaven we have in New York City!"
And he pulls into the parking garage directly across from the Empire State Building.
Alex looks at him through misty eyes. He glances at her to see if her expression is that of approval. She leans over and kisses his cheek. It's funny how native New Yorkers don't ever seem to do touristy things … Erin and John Eames hadn't been their since their dating years and Alex couldn't remember when she had been … a class trip? Friends? It wasn't Joe … he really wasn't a romantic … he thought "An Affair To Remember," was like saccharine … sickening sweet. Bobby knew every line, word for word … just like Alex.
They walk into the Lobby.
"Welcome to The Empire State Building! How may I help you?"
"Yes Sir, My name is Detective Robert Goren, I called …"
"Ah, yes Detective, I have your admission tickets and because you and your wife are two of New York's Finest, your tickets to the 102nd Floor Observatory, are on the house."
"Thank you very much Sir."
"It's our pleasure Detective. Now if you will all step this way … I will take you to our high speed elevators to take you to the 102nd floor."
They all step into the elevator and moments later are staring out at New York. To see New York City everyday such as we do, is one thing but to see it from the top of The Empire State Building, especially at night with the lights of the city that doesn't sleep … ah … that's special … a night to remember. Bobby heads over to high powered binoculars … puts his coins in and starts to look around until he spots Lewis' creation, he calls Alex over. She looks through the lens and smiles, that beautiful smile that warms Bobby's heart and goes deep to his soul. She hugs him and starts to cry.
"I've never cried so much in my life, it must be the pregnancy hormones."
"Yeah Babe, that's it. Shall we call your parents over?"
Erin and John look like two young lovers. He has his arms wrapped around her and her one arm is around his waist her other hand is clutching her cane … so maybe not young … but lovers for sure. The city was so beautiful from that height, just that, beautiful, no crime, no illness, no turmoil in the world, just New York … she looked marvelous.
Alex gently placed a hand on her Fathers back and lead them both to the binoculars. John looked through first. His mouth dropped open, he pulled away and looked from Alex to Bobby to Alex and a single tear ran down the tough retired cops face. He helped his wife look through next, that's when she saw what all the fuss was about. Lewis' research and trip to Kinkos, a picture of triplets blown-up one thousand times the size in the book and the printing above the picture that read …
"Coming soon to a daughter near you: Bobby Jr., Alexandra Jr., and Lewis … because I made the poster!"
So not exactly what Bobby wanted but totally Lewis and it got the point across … Alexandra Jr.?
