Title: Just One Little Question
Author: Britt (with help from Syd)
Rating: PG-13 at the most
Pairing: Nathen & Meva; with mentions of Stephen/Lisa & Nat/OC
Fandom: Medical Investigation
Disclaimer: They aren't mine, it sucks.
Summary: The team is punished for distracting Kate, but now they're bored and have nothing to do. But Kate isn't quite as smart as she think she is, because there is one flaw in her plan. E-Mail. And the team plan to use it to their advantage. Despite the consequences it may have.
A/N: Special thanx to Dr-Who-4-u for helping me with this. Without her none of this would happen.
A/N2: ok so you guys wanted Meva. Here it is. However, it is most likely the last chapter with Meva in it. For this story anyways
A/N3: There will most likely only be one more chapter after this one, and it will more than likely be written in normal story style.
A/N4: sorry this chapter is so short, but it's incredibly hard to come with stuff to write

After finding out that Stephen and Nat's dinner was indeed a date Stephen had kicked Miles out of his office, claiming that he had a meeting to get ready for. He had attempted to talk to Eva but Kate kicked him out of her office before even making it through the door. He sighed to himself as he made his way to his office, trying to think of something to keep him occupied until lunch. He contemplated visiting Frank but seeing as to how Kate was now following him through the halls he guessed that that was a bad idea.

Once he made it to his office he shut the door and locked it, watching as Kate smiled and headed back towards her own office. He sat down in his chair and stared at the computer screen for five minutes before he heard the machine beep. He shook his head and smiled when he saw that Eva had e-mailed him.

Subject: Work?

Miles,

Hmm. I'm guessing Kate caught you trying to sneak in here? Lol. Don't worry; we'll see each other at lunch, in exactly an hour. Lol. So did you hear about Stephen & Nat? They have a date tonight. He's cooking her dinner. Isn't that sweet?

And who exactly keeps saying that we have a "hot" date tonight? I'm guessing that it's Frank because I don't think Kate would say something like that. And Nat confronted me with it. Hmm. I say its time we interrogate Frank, sound good? Lol

Ok so I know tonight is not a "hot" date, but what exactly are we doing? And what exactly should I wear?

Write back. I'm very bored

Eva

He smiled to himself and decided to write her back before Kate returned.

Eva,

Yes she did, and then she proceeded to follow me down the hall to make sure that I didn't try and sneak into anyone else's office. How rude is that? It's not like we have any work to do or anything. Yes I heard, I was right there with Stephen while they were talking. Sure it is sweet, I suppose.

Hmm, I believe it is Frank, who else could it be? Lol. Yes I think we should interrogate even though we won't learn anything more than we already know, he has no life and needs something to do. Lol

Well it can be a hot date if you want it to be. Lol. But its just a carnival at my sister's high school. The choir's trying to raise money to go to some competition in Spain. Lol. So just wear jeans and a t-shirt and you should be fine. Sound good?

Write back

Miles

Miles smiled to himself as he clicked the 'send' button and then leaned back in his chair, just in time to see Frank running down the hall, Kate close behind him. He shook his head and laughed, wondering what the tall black man had done this time.

Eva was sitting in her office, feet up on her desk, bagel in her mouth when she saw Frank running down the hallway, Kate chasing him. She laughed and set the bagel down, turning to the computer so that she could inform Miles of what she just saw, if he hadn't already seen it. As soon as she opened the program she saw that she had a new e-mail, she opened it and smiled.

Miles,

Aww, poor baby. She is acting a little strange, I think she knows something's up. Maybe she's figured out that we're contacting each other and that's why she's all over us. But I haven't received anything from Frank so I can't imagine what he's in trouble for. Lol.

Well of course its Frank. Its his job to spread the office gossip.

I don't think it needs to be a hot date. Just hanging out with you is fine. Sounds like fun, I'm sure we'll have a good time. Which leads me to ask you, exactly how many of you are there? Lol. I mean, you have like a dozen siblings.

Write back

Eva

P.S: Kate's chasing Frank down the hallway. Just thought you should know.

After clicking send she stood up and moved to her door, looking out into the hallway to see where Frank had disappeared too. While she had her head out the door she saw Nat come down her way, two cups of coffee and a folder in her hand.

"Where are you going?" She asked, taking a bite of her bagel.

"Stephen's office?" Eva raised an eyebrow and she smiled. "His meeting with Kate got cancelled."

"Because she's chasing Frank down the hallway."

"Probably." Natalie stopped when she reached Eva's door. "He wanted to go over this file."

"He just wanted an excuse to see you." Eva smiled, taking another bite.

"How would you know?"

"Have you ever met Stephen? He's obsessed with you."

"Is not." Natalie took a sip of one of the cups of coffee.

"I dare you to give Stephen that coffee."

"Okay, its not like he hasn't drunk after me before." Natalie smiled at the look on Eva's face and started walking again. "If I don't see you before tonight, have fun!"

"Thanks. You too." Eva shook her head when she saw Frank poke his head out of a storage closet. "She went that way." Eva pointed in the direction that Kate had taken off too and smiled when Frank ran the opposite way. Shutting her door she went back to sit at her desk, flipping open her magazine.

Not two minutes later she heard a knock at her door and looked up just in time to see Miles slide through the door. "Kate's a little occupied, so I figured I would sneak down here while I had the chance." She smiled and stood up, wrapping her arms around his neck as he placed a kiss on her head.

"I'm glad to hear that." She looked up at him and smiled when he leaned down, placing a kiss on her lips.

"Me too." He gently let her go and reached over to grab a chair, pulling it next to hers. "I got your e-mail." He said as he sat down, pulling her to sit in her chair so that they were facing each other.

"Good." Refusing to let go of his hand she started playing with his fingers.

"So yes, you have nothing to worry about, tonight will be fun, it always is." She smiled, lacing her fingers through his. "And there are not twelve of us, there's only seven."

"Seven is still a lot." Smiling she put her feet back up on her desk.

"True." He reached his other hand over and rubbed her leg gently. "Don't worry, they're going to love you, Lord only knows I do." Eva's mouth fell open and Miles smiled at the look on her face. "Oh like you didn't already know that."

"I love you too." She smiled and leaned over to kiss him, her legs falling from the desk when their tongues collided.

"Break it up you two." Kate yelled as she ran down the hall.

Laughing Miles pulled back, resting his forehead against hers. "I guess it's back to e-mailing each other."

"Looks like it."
