Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Just the same thing you read over and over again in every fic.

Warning: This takes place in Season 12, so if you don't know what happens it will ruin everything.

This Chapter is more explicit so I would recommend to be more careful about it. Rating might be M.

This is my first fic so...

Anyway, I want to thank Eva Cale (Bel Vezer) for her support and help with this fic. English isn't my main language so I do apologize for any mistakes I might've missed. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy! Please review!

I want to thank everyone for the wonderful reviews and a Special Thank You to Ella! ;)

Sorry it took me so long for this update but I've been kind of busy with work and all. Thanks for the patience.

"Luka wake up, you're going to be late." I'm shaking his shoulder. He's looks so peaceful sleeping but Weaver is going to kill him if he's late.

"Eh?"

"Luka... it's 7:30. I thought you had a shift at 8!"

"I do! Oh my God. I'm going to be late." he runs to the bathroom mumbling something in Croatian; which I don't get of course.

"That's what I was saying!"

"You have a day off today, right?" he shouts from the bathroom.

"Yeah."

"Good, because after yesterday you need to relax. Take Coburn's advice. Please." He pokes his head out of the bathroom door to look at me intently.

"I will don't worry. I'm planning to do some shores and then just hang out in front of the TV or something."

"Shores?"

"I need some food... and other things from the supermarket."

"I'll be back around 7. If you wait for me, we can do it together. I don't want you carrying the bags. Remember, no lifting!"

"Oh right. Well, ok. I'll wait for you then. I guess I have nothing to do but catch up on my reading."

"Good. Ok, I'm leaving or Kerry will kill me." He comes out of the bathroom fully dressed. Kisses me softly on the lips and leaves.

"See ya tonight!"

"Ok."

Once the door of the apartment closes, I let myself sigh. Ok, one free day all to myself and I don't know what to do. I look at the alarm clock and it shows 7:45 am. I could actually use some more sleep. So I head back to the bed and wrap myself with the cozy covers. I pull Luka's pillow above mine and let his scent carry me to a sweet dream world.

I wake up with a start trying to understand why I did wake up. I look around the room and the sun illuminates it all. How long have I been sleeping? Then I hear the phone ringing. I move across the bed to pick it up.

"Hello." I mumble barely awake.

"Abby? Did I wake you?"

"Maggie?"

"Hi honey, how are you doing?"

"I'm alright. How are you?"

"I'm ok. Just wanted to see how you've been doing lately. I haven't heard from you in a while."

"Yeah, I know. Sorry I've been kind of busy. I got the day off today so I decided to sleep a little longer. But it's already noon. I should be getting up. So what's up?"

"Not much. Here I am, working. On my meds, before you ask."

"I wasn't going to ask mom... It's up to you now if you want to look after yourself or not. Of course, I'll still be here if you need me... But sometimes it's better when I know that you are ok."

"I know. Sorry honey. I didn't want to upset you. So any news? Any new man in your life?" Of course she had to ask that question.

"New man? Well, not new but there is one if you need to know." But I'm not giving it away that easy.

"Not new? But there is one! Oh... this means I know him?"

"Yeah, you know him." I'm smiling now picturing her face at the other side of the phone.

"Oh who is it?" How do I tell her?

"Well... mmm... It's Luka."

"Oh my God! You're back with the Euro Doctor! I'm happy for you! Hold on, are you happy about it?"

"Yes mom. Actually I am. We haven't been back together for that long though, since October more or less."

"And you didn't tell me? You should've called me with the good news!"

"I was going to let you know mum, but first I needed to know this is for real. That we weren't going to break up after a few weeks or something."

"I know what you mean. I want you to be happy Abby and if he makes you happy... I'm glad you found each other again."

I laugh at her remark.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing really. Luka's Christmas present was a compass."

"A compass? What are you planning to go sailing?"

"Not really, he said we always seem to find each other. That's why I laughed."

"Oh that's so sweet! I knew he had it in himself. He was kind of cute playing softball."

"Yeah, I know. Though not very good at it."

"Well, he can't be perfect in any way."

"He's fine the way he is. I wouldn't ask anything else from him. At least not right now."

"So is it serious?"

"Mum!"

"What? I want to know if I should start to organize a wedding or something."

"We are not getting married!" At least no time soon. Let's have the baby and then we can talk about everything else. I should tell her about the baby, but I'm not ready yet.

"You never now. Either way I expect an invitation!"

"Yeah, well... let's not get ahead of ourselves here."

"Ok. Sorry. I need to go now I have to get back to work. I'll talk to you soon, right?"

"Yes, I'll call you. Have a nice day."

"You too, and say Hi to Luka for me. Tell him not to let you go again."

"I will. Bye mum."

"Bye sweetie." And the call is disconnected. I leave the phone back on the stand and decide I need to have some food. That was an interesting phone call. Maybe I'll call her once I know the baby is alright. I need sometime to get used to the idea... I don't even know how to tell her. Who would've thought I would be more scared to tell my mother than Luka!

The rest of the day went by smoothly. I had something to eat and then headed to my couch to watch some TV. Of course, there isn't anything good to watch. Apparently, I dozed off again, because the next thing I know I hear a click on the TV and the room is dark, though the light of the kitchen it lighten up so it softly illuminates my living room. I look around and Luka's sitting on the coffee table staring at me.

"Hi… When did you come home? I didn't hear you come in." I say while I start to sit up on the couch.

"I know. You looked so peaceful sleeping. I called you an hour ago but you didn't answer."

"You did? I didn't even hear the phone. Oh God, I slept almost all day! How pathetic is that? My day off and I didn't do anything."

"Well, maybe you needed to sleep. You haven't been sleeping that much lately."

"How would you know that?"

"I sleep next to you remember?"

"Right. So how was your day? It's already 7?"

"It's almost 8:30." He says while he gets up from the coffee table and sits next to me on the couch. "It was alright. Same thing as usual. " His arms move around me, bringing his body closer to mine. I let my head rest on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

"So, do you still want to go shopping?"

"Oh right. I forgot about that. I don't think I have the energy to move that much. Have you noticed that the more you sleep the more tired you feel? Or maybe it's just me."

"It happens to me too. But I guess it depends on how tired you were to start with, and I think you were pretty tired. The last couple of months haven't been easy on you."

"I know. I need to get up. Nature calls." I get up from the couch and start walking towards the bathroom. "What do you want to eat then? Because I don't think there is anything edible in here."

"Actually there is. I thought you'd be sleeping or something when I called and you didn't answer so I picked something up before coming here."

"You did?" I turn around to look at him. I could kiss him right now.

"Yep. How does pasta sound to you?"

"Great."

"Ok then… I'll start the cooking and you go to the bathroom." He gets up from the couch too. Walks to the doorframe of my bedroom and plants a soft, tender kiss on my lips.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

We are having dinner at the kitchen table. Silence. No sound but the noise the forks make with the plates.

"This is really good." I finally say. "Thanks for cooking."

"No problem. So what did you do today? Besides sleeping…"

"Not much… Oh Maggie called." My eyes leave my plate to fall upon his own.

"And…? Did you tell her about the baby?"

"No. But I did tell her about us. She sent you a "hi"." I remain silent for a minute but I know his eyes are still on me. "I couldn't tell her, at least not yet. I need some time... I need to build some nerves. I don't know why it's so hard to tell her… It shouldn't be this difficult."

"She won't judge you know. And she will be happy for you. What are you afraid of?"

"I don't know. I… what if… she wants to come to meet the baby and she is off her meds?"

"We'll deal with that if it happens. We can't start to think in what will happen if she shows up."

"It's just that everything turns up side down every time she makes an appearance." I sigh.

"She's your mother."

"I know. That means she is always going to be my problem."

"Why do you think of her as a problem? Yes, she is sick and so is your brother. But they're your family. You should be glad you can talk to them." Because you can't talk to them. Is that what this is about? "I know you are a great sister to Eric and you are going to be a good mother. But don't think of them as a problem. I'm here for you now, so if they come off their meds we'll handle it together."

"Ok."

I get up from the table carrying my plate to the sink. Luka does the same. His warm breath is on my neck. I start to do the dishes and he wraps his arms slowly around my waist. How can I do the dishes when I have a sexy man breathing on my neck? He starts nibbling my neck, moving slowly to my earlobe, planting small sweet kisses all the way up. I close my eyes savoring the feeling. It's sending shivers down my spine, making me relax as I haven't done in a while. His hands leave my waist and take the plate of my hand dropping it gently in the sink. He turns the faucet off and engulfs his hands with mine. Soothingly he makes me turn around to face him. I open my eyes slowly to meet his gaze upon me. A little smile creeps from his lips before bending to meet my lips. I moan silently and his tongue probes inside me. Oh God… My arms move around his neck while his own encircle my waist once again, bringing him closer to me. Heat. That's what I can feel, heat gathering in the air, making me want him even more than before. The kiss ends and our lips part. I look intently at him. His fingers are playing with the hem of my shirt, and smoothly he moves them underneath it. Touches; gentle, relaxing, calm touches fill my back. Without rush he removes my shirt letting it fall to the kitchen floor. His hands keep moving downwards to meet my sweat pants, which he also removes with the same mellowness. I'm left only with my panties and he is fully dressed. I don't want to break the spell that it's surrounding us by speaking. He seems to understand, as my hands travel to unbutton his shirt; he removes his belt in the meantime. Moments later, we are both naked in the kitchen staring at each other, keenly, attentively. Our fingers intertwined, connected. His left hand moves gradually to my stomach. I'm not showing that much, at least not yet. Though here naked in my kitchen, with his hand touching it I can sense the living being inside me. Call me crazy but it's like a special bond that the three of us share. I smile. Maybe he can feel it too. He smiles. His forehead rests with mine, our eyes never leaving the link; communicating our inner thoughts.

Caringly our lips meet again his tongue seeks access inside me. Searching, exploring. I warp my arms around his neck, his own are on my waist. My body's taken upwards, compressed against his own. I have to part my legs to swathe him. Carried, I'm being carried to my bedroom. Steadily he drops me. He positions himself above me. Locked, once more our eyes are locked together. And yet again our lips meet. Raw, hungrily. His hands are all over me, my hands are all over him. His lips move, with the same passion as before he is kissing every inch of my body. My neck, my earlobes, my collarbone.

"That was amazing."

"Yeah… Incredible. I'm exhausted."

"Tell me about it. Come here."

We snuggle together under the covers, our naked bodies entangled. Finally we drift slowly to sleep with a smile in our faces.
