Chapter 3- Different
Weeks went on, cases came and went, the Lightman group was busy and the bet had grown, involving more and more employee's. Loker had just finished taking another bet when Gillian walked in. He looked up at her in surprise. She was wearing a red top and a grey skirt but something was different about her.
"You look healthy," Loker said as Gillian took a seat next to him. Gillian rose her eyebrows.
"Thank you. Women love to hear that," Gillian said and Loker couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or not. He shook his head and watched as Gillian settled in her seat.
"I was just about to a voice analysis on the tape," Loker said. They were doing a case for the police, trying to determine if the suspect they had in custody was involved in the murder of his girlfriend.
"OK listen to the part where is says where he was," Loker said. He played it and Gillian nodded and listened and watched.
"OK, so it rises about the line, so he's lying and his face expressions so embarrassment," Loker said.
"He lied about where he was because it's embarrassing and look there was a flash of guilt," Gillian said.
"Yeah, I saw that too," Loker said.
"Ok, we need to talk to him again," Gillian said and Loker agreed.
They were heading out when Heidi stopped them.
"Gillian, can you sign for this?" Heidi asked and Gillian nodded. The delivery guy handed her a clipboard and looked her up and down. Gillian was to busy reading to notice, but Loker saw. The delivery guy (Mike according to his name tag) eyes rested on Gillian's cleavage. Gillian rarely every showed that much cleavage.
Must be a new bra for Cal, Loker thought. Gillian finished signing and looked up to see Mike staring at her chest. She looked to Loker who shrugged and to Heidi who had shrugged back. Gillian cleared her throat and Mike looked up. Embarrassment graced his features and Gillian had her eyebrows raised.
"Oi, luv, is that my package?" Cal asked, heading their way. He came up and stood next to his wife. He looked to Mike, head cocked to one side. He clearly read the embarrassment and the dilated pupils which meant arousal. He looked to Gillian, her eyebrows still raised and back to Mike.
"Get going luv before I pound him into a pulp," Cal said. Gillian rolled her eyes amusement on her face. She smiled at Mike to let him no that Cal wasn't serious and she and Loker headed out.
Mike, realizing he was left alone with Cal, quickly said good day and hightailed out of the office. Cal began opening his package and Heidi spoke up, fishing for details.
"Gillian seems different," Heidi began. Cal looked up, putting on a look of confusion.
"She seems, healthier," Heidi continued.
"Yeah, now that you mention it she does. Must be that new skin product she got. Bloody women wouldn't stop talking about it," Cal said, giving Heidi a smile he took his package and left leaving behind a clearly disappointed receptionist. Cal smirked. He caught Mike looking at Gillian's breast which had grown due to the pregnancy, not that he was complaining. He wondered how long it would take the other to realize.

Torres hunted down Loker and found him in the kitchen with Gillian. Gillian was eating a chocolate cookie and Loker was too. Gillian smiled at Torres and she smiled back.
"Once your off lunch, go help review those other tapes," Gillian said, standing up and brushing the crumbs of her clothes. She smiled goodbye and headed out of the kitchen. Torres sat down.
"Maybe there going on a second honeymoon," Torres suggested. Loker straightened up.
"That good be it. How much do you bet?" Loker asked. Torres rolled her eyes but place a bet.
***********
Gillian left the kitchen, knowing exactly what Torres wanted. They were placing more bets. Gillian new it had spread because everyone was looking at her differently. She headed to Cal office and went in. He was on the phone, slouched in his chair.
"Yeah, alright. 'K, bye," Cal said into the receiver and he hung up. Gillian sat down and Cal looked at her.
"Hey luv," Cal said, Gillian grinned
"Hey yourself," Gillian said, smiling brightly and then she frowned. "did you really have to threaten Mike?"
"Hey, if I don't keep my grumpy attitude then people will think you have made me soft," Cal said but his face showed he was teasing.
Gillian giggled and that made Cal smile wider.
"So they are taking more bets," Gillian said and Cal smirked.
"Yeah, Heidi was trying to get something out of me before. What have they come up with now?" Cal asked.
"We are having a second honeymoon," Gillian grinned. "I like the sound of that. Can we?"
Cal chuckled. "Maybe next year." Gillian pouted but then grinned.
"Loker told me I looked healthier," Gillian said, grinning.
"Heidi said that too. I told her it was some new product," Cal said. Gillian grinned.
"So your my new product?" Gillian asked, amusement on her face.
"I'll be what ever you want me to be," Cal said and Gillian new he was being serious.
"Well, I need you to take me shopping or I could ask Emily because my tops or bra's don't fit me very well anymore," Gillian said and Cal grinned.
"I would love to take you lingerie shopping," Cal said, arousal in his eyes. Gillian smirked.
"I think we can do that," Gillian said and she winked. Cal shook his head and stood up.
"Come have lunch with luv," Cal said. Gillian jumped up and they headed out.
Loker and Torres watched the couple walk away, Cal's arm around her waist.
"I wonder what it is that's go them so happy," Loker muttered. Torres shrugged. She had an idea but wasn't willing to share it with anyone.
Hey everyone! What did you think? Good bad, ugly? Just review and tell me!
