A/N Last chapter, been a while I know..!
Previously:
"I said you didn't disappoint and take good care of yourself."
"Ally.."
"What is your ego bruised now?"
"Yes.."
"Well, that's too bad then."
…
"Ed, Allison." Greg got their attention and waved them over. They shared a look before stopping the treadmills and walking towards Greg.
"Yeah?" Allison asked cautiously.
"So, I talked to Holleran."
"Okay?"
"One of you has to transfer." They looked at each other.
"What?"
"You have to decide within the next hour. It's that or break-up." He looked at the shock on both of their faces. "I tried talking him out of it, I couldn't. He said the team was still on probation so he didn't have a choice."
"An hour?" Allison asked.
"Yes." Greg nodded before going into the gym to train, leaving Ed and Allison in the doorway.
"Briefing room?" Ed suggested, Allison nodded and walked there.
Ed closed the door once they were inside and they sat down facing each other. It was silent for a couple of minutes, neither of them had anticipated this outcome.
"I'll transfer." Allison said.
"You don't.."
"You've been here longer and you're team leader. Swapping me will have less effect on the team then swapping you." He nodded. "I mean, if you're sure you want to do this."
"Continue our relationship?" Allison nodded. "Yeah, of course." He took both of her hands. "I'm not quitting on us."
"Me either, so I'll go tell Greg." He nodded and got up to open the door for her.
…
"Sarge." She got his attention when she walked into the gym. Greg looked at his watch, it hadn't even been five minutes.
"You know already?"
"Yeah, I'll be the one transferring."
"That was quick."
"It's a simple question."
"Okay, I'll tell Holleran. You'll be team two, starting tomorrow."
…
"O god.." Allison said looking at the calendar. "No, no, no.. shit no.."
"What is it?" Ed called from her bathroom.
"Uuh, nothing.. Just screwed up my phone." She lied before looking back at the calendar. "I'm screwed." She thought for a second. "Honey, how would you feel about flying to New York this weekend?"
"This weekend, as in tomorrow?"
"Yeah.." She answered hesitantly, he popped his head out of the bathroom.
"For a mini-holiday or to meet your parents?"
"Meet my parents."
"Sure, why all of a sudden?"
"Because if we'll do it in two months my dad will kill you."
"Why?" He was still confused.
"Because I'm late."
"For what?"
"I'm late.." She said again.
"I heard you, what are you late for? Today's your day off right?" She sighed and pointed to her stomach.
"I'm three weeks late."
"Late? OOH! Late!" Now the surprise was replaced by shock and then slight panic. "Late.. oh god.. three weeks, that's long.. right?"
"Yeah, I'm like clock-work.. so that's long."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, we were just so busy with me transferring and moving in together and all.."
"O god, your parents are like religious right?" She nodded.
"Against pre-marital sex and everything. Though they are realistic and know that I do have sex."
"You're dad's going to kill me!" Now he was starting to completely panic. "So uuh.. you want to keep it, right?"
"Yeah."
"I've had sex with his daughter, and we're just living together and we're not married.. And I got you pregnant.. and.. o god.. my parents are going to kill me!"
"At least your parents have met me."
"Like that went great.." Ed said, remembering his father treating her terrible. Blaming her for his son having feeling, like having feelings is something terrible. "Okay, so we're flying to New York tomorrow.. Are you allowed the fly? Being pregnant?"
"Yes."
"I'll go buy a test.. what if you're not and I'm freaking out over nothing?"
"Yeah, that's a good idea."
"I'll be right back." He walked into the living room. Allison smiled and grabbed a pair of his sweatpants and a shirt before following.
"Maybe you should lose the towel?" She said offering the clothes.
He looked himself over, he only had a towel around his hips.
"Yeah.. good thinking.." He grabbed the clothes and quickly put them on.
…
"3-4 weeks." Ed read the display from the pregnancy test out loud. "We're having a baby." He looked at her and smiled when he saw that she was smiling. "We're having a baby!" He said now more excited than panicked.
"Yeah, we are."
"I'll be right back." He said before running off to their bedroom. He came back a few seconds later. "How about I make you dinner, while you take a bath?" He smiled and put a hand on her stomach before kissing her.
"Yeah, that sounds good."
"I love you, Ally."
"I love you to." She kissed him again before getting up and walking towards the bathroom.
He made sure she was in the bathroom before looking around hastily. Dinner.. right.. He then patted his pocket where a black square box was safely tucked away.
…
"Wow, that smells good." She smiled as she walked into the living-room. "Wow.." She looked around, the table was set with candles and linen. In fact, there were candles lit all over the room. "So, I'm a little underdressed." She smiled as she looked him over, the sweats and t-shirt were replaced with suit-pants and a white button-down shirt.
"You look perfect."
"I'm wearing sweats and a hockey jersey of yours."
"Perfect." He smiled. "Come, sit down." He held out the chair for her. "So white or red.. uuh.. diet coke?" He changed, realising she couldn't drink anymore.
"Diet coke sounds good." He smiled before getting it from the kitchen.
"So, is this all because I told you I'm pregnant?"
"Yes." He lied. "I love you and I want to show you."
"Okay."
…
"You drop something?" She asked as he got up and walked towards her. "I can help you.." She trailed off when he kneeled down and took the box out of his pocket.
"I love you Allison, please marry me?"
"You just had an engagement ring lying around?" She asked surprised.
"That's no answer to my question." He smirked.
"Is this because I'm pregnant? Do you feel obligated?"
"No, I've had this ring for a week or so. I was planning on asking you in a little while." He raised his eyebrows, still waiting for an answer.
"You sure it's not because I'm pregnant and you're just going to resent me for it later?"
"I'm sure baby."
"Good, yes. Ed, I'll marry you." He slipped the ring around her finger and hugged her tight."
"Good." He kissed her. "I love you."
"I love you too."
"So, how mad will your dad be that I didn't ask him for your hand?"
"He'll get over it."
…
"So.. this is where you lived?" Ed asked, looking around the crappy neighbourhood.
"No." She said paying the cabbie. "We just get out here." Ed followed her out of the cab and watched as it made a u-turn.
"So.. why are we getting out here then?"
"The cabs won't come in my neighbourhood."
"That bad?" He said shocked.
"Yep, you've got your gun and badge with you right?"
"Yeah.." He said, his hand automatically on it.
"They're not visible though, right?"
"No.."
"Good, I rather not have you shot." She picked up her bag.
"Let me." He said reaching for the bag.
"You'll need your free hand in case something happens.. trust me."
They walked a street before someone walked up behind them and someone in front of them. Ed reached for his gun, Allison took his hand instead.
"Are you stupid?" She hissed before they stopped in front of the man.
"Now this is my street, you wanna walk through it. You've gotta pay me my taxes." Allison squeezed Ed's hand, silently telling him to keep his mouth shot.
"Last thing I remember, this is Richie's street. Now, Richie ain't nowhere as ugly as you." Allison challenged him. "So either you call Richie, so I can talk to him. Or you gonna let us through." He looked her over once.
"Yo Richie!" He called out loudly. It wasn't long before a man rounded the corner.
"Now, Jimmy, how hard is it to man one street? That's all I'm asking of you." He then turned towards Allison. "Is that who I think it is?" He asked, looking at Jimmy, he just shrugged. "Is that little Ally?" Richie asked, getting excited.
"I'm not that little anymore."'
"No clearly." He said looking her over. "Pfieuuww." He whistled. "You lookin' good honey." Ed's jaw tightened.
"So, we headed towards my parents. You mind walking with us? I've heard there are some bad things going on."
"Sure, sure. Everything for you." Ed threw her a look. "That your boyfriend?"
"Yeah, this is Ed. Ed, this is Richie." Ed smiled tightly.
"So, you grew up together?" He asked Allison.
"Pff, you can say that." Richie answered, earning a glare from Allison. "Your girl had a thing for me." He went on, completely ignoring the look Allison threw him. "Making her old man worry sick, bad influence like me. What did she do, she went and turned into a cop that's how bad of an influence I was.. I remember you helping me steal a car from some rich dude once."
"You stole a car?" Ed asked surprised.
"I didn't actually do the stealing.. I was on look out." Richie walked towards Allison and grabbed her bag from her before they started walking again.
"Hmm.."
"What you do?" Richie asked Ed.
"I'm a cop too."
"Guess we got us a farm then.." Jimmy said, still walking behind them. Ed looked at Allison, not getting it.
"Pigfarm.." She clarified.
"Jimmy, scram." Richie told him, and Jimmy immediately turned around.
"So, you're still in control here?"
"Try to be, but there are more and more gangs every year."
"You're still not into drugs right? Because I swear.."
"Hell no.. No drugs, no killing.. you know that, baby girl."
"Stop calling her pet names.." Ed growled, putting an arm around her shoulders to make it clear she's his.
"Owh, she used to love me calling her all kinds a things." Allison could feel Ed's muscles tighten.
"Richie, stop messing." She told him.
"Fine, fine.. guess he's controlling huh?"
"Just the right amount, Rich." He nodded and they rounded the corner.
"Now, here we are. They know you coming?" He said looking up to their building.
"Yeah, they know. Thanks, Rich. Stay outta trouble will you?" She said taking her bag back.
"I've been trying, since you can't bail me out no more." He smiled before walking off.
…
"Hey mom, hey dad." Allison said as she hugged them. "This is Ed, my.. fiancée." That's the first time she said it. Her mother immediately looked down at her hand.
"No ring?"
"It's in my pocket, didn't think wearing it outside would be a great idea. I'll show you in a minute." Her mother smiled and hugged her daughter before hugging Ed.
"It's nice to meet you." She smiled at him.
"It's nice to meet you too, ma'am."
"Please, call me Eva." He smiled and nodded.
"Sir." Ed smiled at Allison's dad. "You have a great daughter."
"I know." He said before turning around and walking inside.
"He'll warm up to you.." Allison smiled before walking in. "Eventually.."
…
"So, you can sleep in your old bedroom." Her father told Allison, he had barely talked to Ed. "And Ed can sleep on the couch."
"Dad.."
"You're not married yet.."
"Dad, there's another thing I have to tell you.." She said, cautiously looking at both her parents. "We're.. pregnant."
"WHAT?!" Her father yelled, getting up. "You're engaged without us meeting him and now you're pregnant?!" He started swearing in a language Ed didn't recognize but guessed was something east-European.
"Dad.. calm down, your heart.."
"How can I calm down when this.. this.. this.. he got you pregnant!"
"I had a part in that too, you know. Dad, please.. He's a great a guy, if you just got to know him.."
"He's twice your age!" Allison rolled her eyes at him.
"No, he's not. Don't exaggerate.."
"How much older is he then?"
"14 years.."
"Then you'd think he knows how a condom works!" Ed got up off the couch but Allison pushed him back.
"Can't you just be happy for me?"
"No. You just make one mistake after another!"
"Ed's not a mistake!"
"If you hadn't become a cop and moved away.."
"I'd either be lying in a ditch dead or I'd be with Richie, and you'd already have 10 grandkids!" She took a breath. "Ed loves me and I love him, we came here because he wanted to meet you and tell you in person. I should've just told you over the phone." She took Ed's hand and pulled him up. "We're going to bed." She looked at her mother and smiled. "Night mom." She then pulled Ed towards her bedroom.
…
"I can sleep on the couch.."
"No, my dad's just stubborn." She said as she rolled on top of him and started kissing him. He stopped her when she slid her hand inside his boxer-shorts.
"Okay, that's not the best of idea's.." He said taking her hand out from under the sheets.
"Part of your anatomy doesn't agree with you." She smiled at him wickedly before kissing his neck.
"Hmm.. god, Ally.. your dad already wants to kill me, hearing me moan his daughters name isn't going to win me any points.."
"Then be quiet." She said, making her way down his body. He stopped her when she kissed him just above the elastic of his boxers.
"You know I can't.." He pulled her back up and kissed her deeply, moaning into her mouth as her hand travelled south again. "Can you stop that? Or I'll handcuff you to the bed."
"My dad would just looooove that." She tried to free her hand from his. "I just love the way you moan my name, can you blame me?"
"In your parents house? Yes.."
"Fine, I'll keep my hands to myself.. But I expect airplane-bathroom-sex." Ed huffed.
"I know you're acrobatic, but don't you think that's a little much?"
"No." She said curling up to him. "Has to be fast to, or people will suspect things.." Ed said and pulled her closer.
"We'll see."
…
The airplane was out of blankets so Ed and Allison ended up sharing one. The lights had just been turned off when Allison's hand sneaked up Ed's thigh, making him jump.
"Ally.."
"Bathroom is two rows behind us." She whispered into his ear, biting his lobe.
"We'll be home in like, five hours.."
"I can't wait that long, I need you.."
"You libido is crazy, you know that?"
"I know." He was barely able to stifle a groan as her hand slid inside his jeans.
"Okay, fine.." She smiled and got up, he followed her and they looked around before slipping into one of the bathrooms. "Just be quiet.. I don't want to get caught.."
"With pleasure."
…
"Hey Eddie, so how is the pregnancy going?" Ed sighed loudly, making Greg laugh.
"Hell.. You had a pregnant wife once.."
"Midnight runs to the store, having to do everything.."
"Yes.." Ed nodded.
"I had a lot of sex though.."
"Tell me about it, I'm happy to oblige don't get me wrong.. I love having sex with my wife.. I'd do it all day if I didn't have work.. but I do have work, and I need a little bit of sleep.."
"I heard that!" Allison yelled from the kitchen, making Greg chuckle. "It's your fault my hormones are through the roof!"
"Now it's all fun and games, just wait a month.. then the real hormones will start, you'll meet the mood swings."
"How bad can that be.. It's Ally."
…
"Can you just stop watching the damn ice hockey game for 10 seconds!" He turned his attention towards Allison, the leafs were in the play-offs and there were 5 minutes remaining.
"You've got my full attention, what's going on?" He smiled at her and took her hand. "Nauseous? Back-ache?"
"My back aches, my feet ache, everything aches and that kids just keeps kicking.."
"I know you haven't been sleeping well lately." He pulled her on his lap, her back to him so he could give her a quick back rub. "Have you at least been able to relax?" He was able to watch the game over her shoulder.
"Yeah, I guess.. So I went to look at colours for the baby-room."
"M-hm.."
"And I don't like the red anymore, I think we should go with the green or light-blue.. What do you think, blue?"
"Blue sounds good honey." He said distractedly.
"Okay, so can you pick up the paint tomorrow on your way back from work then?"
"Yeah, sure.."
"Are you listening to me?"
"Of course."
"Then what did I just say.." O-oh..
"You were talking about the paint."
"What colour did we just decide on?"
"Blue.." He said unsure.
"Hmm.. So, you'll pick it up right?"
"Yes!" He yelled out as they scored in the final 10 seconds, deciding the game.
"Are you kidding me?" Ed closed his eyes in defeat.
"I'll pick the blue up tomorrow, don't worry. I was listening.."
"Hmm.." He tucked some hair behind her ear.
"I love you honey."
"I love you too."
…
"So, let's get's some sleep. Now she's still asleep." Ed said as he carried his wife to bed.
"Yeah.." She yawned as she curled up against him. "We have a girl."
"Yes, we do. A beautiful baby girl, now let's get some sleep. We'll wake up in a couple of hours anyway." He kissed her forehead.
"I love you." Allison murmured sleepily.
"I love you too baby."
And with that they both drifted off for a couple of hours of sleep, with their baby girl in the next room.
A/N Probably won't be starting another story (unless I have it completely finished) because I'm going on a three and a half month world cruise (muahaha). So I won't have (regular) internet access.
So that's it, thank you so much for reading and following. Please leave me a final review, especially if you haven't left one yet :)
