Danger: Part One
"Put the gun down, Slater," Bobby said carefully to the man with the gun to Alex's head. Slater was distracted by the big man with the gentle voice; he teared up, tried to say something in his defense, not that it would've mattered to Bobby. All he was concerned with was the tiny blonde woman with the almost imperceptible belly bulge and the fact that Slater could slip at any moment and kill Bobby's whole world. Alex looked into Bobby's eyes, half-scared, half 'we could be home eating dinner right now' boredom. And suddenly, Slater was on the ground, Alex struggling to cuff him, the gun skittering across the hotel lobby floor. Their back-up ran in, taking over. Alex stood up straight, adjusting her shirt back over her belly. Bobby stood across from her, not entirely sure how to react. Not when she left on leave the first time, not even when she was kidnapped – Bobby had never been this scared to lose Alex in his life. And here she was, continuing to amaze him by single-handedly taking down the man who threatened to kill her. Alex came over to him and squeezed his hand.
"Can we get some food to take home? Baby's hungry," Alex said quietly, grinning. Bobby watched as she walked out of the hotel to the car, wondering how he got so lucky.
