Let me know what you guys think. Oh and don't forget to check out my polls for these next to chapters. The sex of the baby and the name is up to you guys! Lets see who'll win!

5 months pass

Teresa groaned and rolled over; the sun was shining annoyingly in her eyes, the biggest mistake it could ever make. At nine months pregnant, she was not one to annoy. Hormones flooded her tiny body, causing her to be the biggest mess ever. She sighed, taking the pillow off her face. "Fine!" She shouted, as if it could hear. "I'm awake, alright?! Are you friggen happy?" She threw one leg over the edge of the bed, and then the other, and then stood up altogether.

"Teresa, honey, breakfast is on the table. I have to get going. Oh by the way, Lucas called. I think he wants to see you for lunch today so you guys can do some last minute shopping before the baby gets here"

"I don't want to shop" She said, sniffing at the eggs and then pushing them aside. Alex smiled; when she was pregnant with her nephew she hated eggs too.

"I thought that might happen; there's some bacon on the stove"

Teresa's eyes sparkled at the thought of bacon; mm greasy, salty, crispy bacon! Even the baby was excited on the thought of bacon. It took but two seconds for her to waddle into the kitchen and hoard what was left on the stove. Alex grinned and shook her head, walking out the door.

"Love you!" Teresa shouted her mouth full of bacon.

"Stupid phone" Teresa muttered, uncovering herself from the blankets on the couch; she'd finally fallen back to sleep in the only room in the house that was dark enough to actually sleep.

"What?" She hissed into the phone.

"Hey it's me" Lucas' deep voice whispered from the other end.

"What do you want? The baby and I were sleeping" A pout could be heard through her words, and it put a smile on Lucas' face; he fell more in love with her each time he spoke to her.

"Sweetie, we need to go to the mall; there's still some last minute shopping to do before the baby gets here. I want to be well prepared; besides, I need your advice on some things for the baby's nursery at my place"

She huffed and abruptly stood. "Pick me up in an hour, I'll be ready" She clicked the off button on the phone and threw it onto the comfort of the couch.

"Nothing fits!" Finding clothes for a woman nine months pregnant was probably the hardest task, outside of like, construction. Clothes flew from each side of Teresa, until she finally settled on a deep red maternity top and an old pair of her uncle's pants.

The doorbell rang exactly one hour from the end of their phone call, and Lucas stood outside, a smile on his face and a bouquet of red roses in his hand. Teresa opened the door, and instead of taking the roses, simply walked back into the kitchen.

"Well hello to you too" Lucas kissed the top of her head; she hated that, and he knew it, but did he care? No. He found an empty vase on the counter, picked it up, put some water in it and then neatly organized the roses. All that was left was to put them by some sun.

"Where can I put these?" He looked over at Teresa, waiting patiently for an answer.

"Wherever you want" She said, ripping apart a piece of cheese and shoving it into her mouth. She was always hungry; in fact, if she hadn't been to the doctor recently, she'd have sworn she was having an elephant, not a baby.

"Well lets get this show on the road" Instead of putting the package of cheese back where it belonged, she shoved some ice into a lunch box and put the cheese on the ice to keep it fresh.

Lucas' eyebrows curled when he saw what she was doing. "What are you doing?" He walked over, smiling some.

"I'm packing my lunch" She replied, zipping up the lunch box. Lucas laughed and took it from her.

"I'll buy us lunch today at the mall"

"What if I don't like anything at the mall?" She raised her eyebrows, challenging his every move today.

"You did last time we were at the mall" He pointed out.

"That was then, this is now."

"That was two weeks ago" Lucas rolled his eyes.

"Exactly; that was two weeks ago. I might not like that now."

"Sweetie, if you liked it then, I'm sure you'll like it now."

Tears streamed down Teresa's eyes, hormones getting the best of her- and Lucas. He sighed; when did the hormones stop?!

"Alright; we'll bring the cheese and you eat it if you don't like what they have at the mall" He gave in, although he knew it wasn't healthy for her or the baby.

"Thank-you!" She said, grabbing the cheese and wiping the tears from her eyes; it'd all been part of her little trick, and he knew then and there that she'd forever wear the pants in their relationship-but then again, she was an Eames woman-they always did.

She walked out the door, leaving it open for him to follow shortly behind her. "Don't forget to lock it" she said, starting on the stairs.

"Got it" He replied, waving goodbye to Paulie the bird and stepping out the door; at the rate he was going, that bird would soon be his only friend on this end of the line. The bird squawked, then turned around, refusing to face him. "Or I could be wrong about the bird" he thought to himself.

The mall was packed with all sorts of people; all sorts of people which bothered Teresa. She hated people more than ever; she hated the way they all hovered around her, the way some would ask to touch her belly, the way they smelled, the way they looked- she simply hated them.

"So I was thinking we hit up the baby gap first and then maybe jamboree"

"Whatever you want" Teresa said, shoving herself closer to Lucas and away from everyone else.

--

Teresa bit down on her warm chicken sandwich from Chick- Filet, enjoying every bit of it. Lucas smiled beside her, and sneakily took the lunchbox full of cheese and tossed it in the garbage beside him.

"Oh…" Teresa winced and grabbed her stomach.

"What?" Lucas looked over at her, concerned something might be wrong.

"Nothing; probably just some gas." But when the pain came again, and again after that, Teresa knew it wasn't gas. "We gotta get to the hospital"

"Is everything okay?" Lucas kneeled beside her, trying to see if he could figure out what might be wrong.

"I'm in labor you baboon!"

--

Waiting; why was that always the hard part? Why didn't he go into the delivery room? That's right, the doctor had kicked him out- there were complications, and he needed space to work with.

Lucas paced the floor; so much that smoke was coming from beneath his sneakers.

"Son, sit down" Elliot patted the spot next to him, where Olivia had once sat; she left to get them all some coffee though, and to give Elliot a little time to have some man-to-man time alone with their nephew.

"What if they need me?"

"Then you stand right back up. It only takes a split second to stand"

Lucas sighed; his uncle was right, he was being ridiculous. He sat down next to him, and for a few very short minutes, they were quiet.

"So… you excited?" Elliot asked, clasping his hands together.

"Yeah… no… yes. I mean I am, but I'm more nervous than I am excited"

"That's reasonable. When Kathy and I first had Kathleen, I was a wreck," a smile crossed his face as he thought back to that night; "I actually left Kathy at the house when I drove to the hospital. They had to send an ambulance for her, I was just too nervous to drive"

Lucas laughed. "Seriously?"

Elliot nodded, the smile never leaving his face.

"That's crazy; at least I was able to drive" Lucas looked at the square tiles on the ground, fixating on something to keep his mind occupied.

"Exactly" Elliot said, setting his hand on his nephew's shoulder. "You're going to make an awesome dad; and don't forget, you have your aunt and I behind you 100. This baby will know it's loved no matter what"

Lucas smiled, "Thanks…. Dad"

"No problem… Son."

A tall, slightly chunky nurse in purple scrubs walked out and stepped before Lucas. "Mr. Stabler, you have a baby-"

Remember guys, It's your choice! Let the games begin!
