"Claire!" Gillian whispers close to his ear.
"What's that? Are you already picking up names, love?" Cal asks her incredulous.
"I know I shouldn't, but…" Gillian starts and then stops without finishing her thought.
"It's ok! I guess this is so sudden and unexpected that's why it's so difficult to believe." Cal tries to make some sense out of his words but there's no sense at all. "But, don't you think Claire is too similar to Clara?"
"Maybe you're right. First I couldn't have kids, now I'm pregnant…" Gillian sighs and closes her eyes.
"I guess the best for you now is to calm down a little bit. Maybe you shouldn't work so many hours. Half-time would do it. Some time to you won't hurt Gill!" Cal puts his warm hand on her stomach and Gillian shivers. "You're body is cold. We need to take a shower and make some breakfast." Cal gets up and kisses Gillian's forehead.
Seeing she didn't follow him out of the bed he stops in his way to the bathroom. "Oi, what's that?"
"You're right. I need to take some time off. But you'll need to replace me and that will be expensive!" Gillian alleged worriedly.
"Bath first, you're freezing! Then we'll talk about it. I'll make you breakfast and we'll discuss it!" She sends him a pillow and said: "Fine, I'm coming!"
-P-
"Hmm…" Gillian said coming in the kitchen.
"You smell nice too." Cal said passing by her side. "Take a seat, please!" He ordered her.
"This looks good!" She said as she started to eat. "I could get used to this!" She pointed out.
"You better get, I plan on making you breakfast everyday. I don't want my son to only eat slushies and chocolate pudding!" Cal grins at Gillian and she forces a smile recognizing that co-parenting with Cal wouldn't be easy.
"So, now it's a boy?" She asked teasing him.
"Yes. A Cal Junior, I already have a girl or two if I count with you. Tree females in a house would be like living in a pink fairytale. Don't you think so?"
"No, I hope it's a girl." She smiles absently. "There are so many clothe options for girls. Like skirts and shorts, and dresses. Cute, little pink dresses!" She teases him again.
"Ok. I got you're point, but if it's a girl she would have her mums sense of stile! She would always dress perfectly!" Cal told her bending forward on the table.
"Are you trying to score with that comment?"
"You tell me, matter of fact you're the voice expert, right?"
She didn't answer him just rolled her eyes and put her hands around his neck.
"Are you still having headaches? What kind of prescription did the doctor gave you?"
"I'm doing fine. He gave me painkillers and told me the headaches would stop if I get more rest. And he gave me some pre-natal vitamins because of the baby."
"Ok. Make sure you take them, please. And about the rest, I was thinking we definitely will hire someone to assist you on your job."
"I still have my doubts about it, Cal!"
"It's a double win. Now you're having the baby and you need to rest to make a full term pregnancy. After the birth you'll need to take care of the baby and the person we hire now will be well trained to replace you more permanently. Actually, having an assistant will allow you more time to help me on the cases. Don't you want to be a psychologist instead of dealing with the finances? You're always telling me you don't have time to do interviews and profiles. I guess that's not as stressful as the finances, right?" Cal was making an effort to make Gillian understand they needed another employee.
Gillian stood and walk to the sink to do the dishes. After a while she turns around and places her back against the sink.
"It looks like you've think about everything! It even looks like you're trying to get ride of me!" She said thoughtful.
"Gill…" Cal raised his arms in defense. "I'm here trying to make this works for everyone, and I know you don't like to be replaced but it's a necessary evil, ok?"
His tone was full of concern and he spook calmly, he was more peaceful now than ever.
"I know, I sorry for being like this! Would you forgive me?" She asked hopefully, but knowing that she was already forgiven.
He came close and kissed her deeply, passion flooding the room. "I'll take that as a yes!" She stated and before he walked away she said: "I'll start interviewing people next week!"
