"Jason." Valera said and gently caressed his cheek.
Jason stirred and opened his eyes.
"Hi." He smiled.
"Hi honey." Valera said.
"A baby huh?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, we're going to have a baby." Valera smiled.
"Will you move in with me?"
Valera looked suprised at Jason.
"Really?" She asked.
Jason nodded.
"Aboslutely. I want us to live under the same roof." Jason smiled.
Valera shrieked and hugged Jason. He laughed and kissed her softly.
"How far are you?" Jason asked.
"I don't know." Valera said, "I'll book a meeting with a gynecologist first thing tomorrow."
"I want to be with you on every meeting." Jason said.
"Well of course dummy." Valera smiled and kissed Jason, "Now I have to call everyone you and I know and tell them the good news!" She grinned.
-I-
The next morning the team surrounded Valera at the reception.
"Hey, Valera, how did Jason take the good news?" Ryan asked.
"He took it like a real trooper." She said.
Calleigh grinned at Ryan.
"Looks like I'm thirty bucks richer." She said.
"He passed out." Valera grinned.
Ryan laughed out loud.
"You're not rich anymore." He grinned. Calleigh slapped his head.
"Hey, how are the wedding plans going?" Eric asked Calleigh and Ryan.
"We have to try on the clothes on Saturday." Calleigh said.
Valera shrieked.
"This is so cool!" She smiled, "You're getting married, and Elena and I are pregnant."
Calleigh smiled, "I know it's great!"
"Ryan, just the man I'm looking for." Frank smirked.
"Hey Frank, did you get a good shower yesterday?" Ryan asked.
Everybody looked confused at Frank and Ryan.
"He got a little shower in the car wash yesterday." Ryan explained, "I told him to get the green paint away from my car."
"So you admit that it was you who placed the gun infront of my car?" Frank asked.
"Yeah, I can't deny doing something so clever." Ryan grinned.
"It wasn't clever." Frank said.
"How exactly did you get wet?" Eric asked, "Did you...?"
Eric started laughing.
"He did." Ryan chuckled.
"Did what?" Natalia asked.
"He went out of the car to pick up the gun. Even though he knew that the hummer was about to get washed." Ryan laughed.
Everyone except Frank was laughing. Frank sighed.
"Alright, that was a stupid thing to do." He said, "But I will get back at you."
"Why are you having this war?" Natalia asked.
"Because... well... um..." Ryan said.
"Well, that's a good reason isn't it?" Valera smiled.
"It's fun." Ryan said.
"It's serious business too." Frank said.
"And it all started when Ryan accidently threw water at you, right Frank?" Calleigh asked
Frank nodded.
"When are you going to stop?" Natalia asked.
"Never." Frank said, "Not until Ryan gives up."
"Which I never will." Ryan said.
"As a true Delko, I'd like to start a bet about all of this right here, right now." Eric grinned.
"Alright, twenty bucks that Ryan will give up first." Valera said.
"No way. Forty bucks that Ryan will win." Calleigh said.
Everybody except Ryan and Frank started betting.
"It looks like everybody except Calleigh thinks you'll lose." Frank said.
"That means she's going to win alot of money." Ryan grinned, "´Cause I'll win."
Frank laughed.

When Eric got home around six pm he found Horatio pacing in the living room.
"H...um... You're supossed to be resting." He said.
"I can't rest Eric. I don't rest. I'm just not that kind of person. I need to do something." Horatio said, "I've been awake all day, because I haven't been able to sleep. I know that it's all I will be doing for a whole week and it gives me nightmares. I've started talking to myself. I'm asking myself questions and I actually answer myself."
"That's not so bad." Eric said.
"It's horrible!" Horatio said, "I'm so bored that I'm thinking about coloring my hair green, just to have something to look and laugh at all day."
Eric chuckled at the mental image of Horatio with green hair. It was even funnier then the image of a pregnant Horatio, that he and Calleigh had talked about many weeks ago.
"What's so funny?" Horatio asked.
"The green hair thing." Eric grinned, "It's better then the image of a pregnant Horatio Caine." Eric laughed.
Horatio stared at him.
"Why would I get pregnant?" He asked, "It's not even possible."
"It's just something that Cal and I talked about the day my mother decided to show in the lab." Eric chuckled, "Can you imagine yourself with a nine months pregnant belly?"
"No."
"And with green hair?" Eric laughed.
Horatio smiled and started laughing with Eric.
"Do you want a baby?" Horatio asked, once he and Eric had stopped laughing.
"Aren't you sad that you can't have a baby because you're living with me?" Horatio asked.
"Why would I be?" Eric asked.
"I'm just wondering."
"H." Eric said and kissed him, "I like children. But I've never needed to have my own kids. It either happens or not."
Horatio nodded.
"Ad I'd rather be happy with you and no kids, then sad with someone else and have a bunch of kids." Eric smiled.
Horatio smiled and gave him a kiss.
"I'm hungry. Are you hungry?" Eric asked.
Horatio shook his head.
"H... You have to eat." Eric said.
"I want to do something fun." Horatio said, "Eating isn't fun."
"I can make it fun for you." Eric smiled.
"How?"
"Well you can get the special table." Eric grinned.
"Special table huh? Is that the table that looks like a man?"
"Oh yeah." Eric grinned.
-I-
Ryan was just about to leave the lab. Calleigh was wating for him down at the garage in the hummer.
He had been doing some tests in the lab and was now putting all his things away.
He started whistling and and walked towards the looker room to put some stuff in his looker.
Soon he was done and on his way out of the lab. He had a wierd feeling and was quite sure that Frank was about to get back at him at any time tonight.
He made sure nothing was on top or behind the looker room door or the elevator door.
He felt relieved when he saw nothing. He had nothing to worry about.
The elevator stopped at the garage floor and Ryan walked out. Unaware of the dark figure following him.
He waved at Calleigh. She smiled and waved back.
Was she trying not to laugh?
Ryan then heard a footstep behind him. But before he got the chance to turn around, a bucket of something soggy was placed over his head.
Ryan could feel to the soggy stuff run down on his clothes and even inside his shirt. He heard someone laughing and running away.
He reached up to his head and removed the bucket. He could barely see becuse his face was covered in the soggy stuff.
It was syrup.
"Frank you bastard." Ryan growled.
He tried to get the syrup off of his clothes, but ut was useless, since his hands were also covered in it.
What he didn't see was the dark figure, who was most likely Frank, coming back with a new bucket.
This time it was flour.
Ryan felt something new falling all over him. First he thought it was snow. But then he saw that it was flour.
He was now covered in syrup and flour, and Calleigh was sitting in the hummer, laughing her butt off.
Ryan glared at her. She took a picture with her cell phone and then got out of the hummer.
"Very funny Calleigh." Ryan said, "My clothes are ruined and this will take forever to wash off my body."
"I'll help you wash it off." She laughed.
"You knew that Frank was going to do this didn't you?" He asked.
"Yeah." Calleigh grinned.
"And you didn't tell me?"
"What's the fun in that?" Calleigh chuckled, "Come on syrup-boy. Let's go home and take a hot shower."
