Flack got to Stella's apt around 10 and knocked at her door. Stella opened the door when she her him knock at the door. "Hay you're somewhat early" she told him with an amused smile. "Hay, what a man isn't allowed to be early to pick up a beautiful woman up" he told her teasingly. "Whatever you say, come in I need to finish getting ready make yourself comfortable" She pointed to her sofa and walked off to her room. She came back a few min later with her purse and her jean jacket. Flack sall her and said "You ready to go". "I'm ready, let's go" she told him and as they both headed out the door. Flack drove them to the doctors and parked in front of the building. They took the elevator to the 5th floor. They walked to the door and Flack opens it for Stella to walk through it. "Thank you" she told him. When they both walked through the door all the women were looking at them specifically at Flack. Stella walked to the front desk while flack sat dawn in a vacant seat next to a perky pregnant blond. The receptionist asked Stella "May I help you". "Yes I have an appointment with Dr. Bedrock I'm Stella Bonasera" she told the receptionist. "Yes your appointment is at 10 you're a bit early so go ahead and sit and I'll call you for the Dr. to see you in a while" she told Stella. Stella walked over to sit next to flack and giving him a big smile. "You want me to wait for you out her or ……go in with you" he told her nervously. "I would really like for you to come with me because I'm a little scared" she told him shyly. "Can I ask you something Stell" he asked her fiddling with his fingers. "Sure" she told him. "Why are all the women her looking at me like I'm a piece of meat" he asked her. "Because you're the only man her and all those women would like to get a piece of you because there Horney and their husbands ant her with them. Plus they probably think wire together and they think it's cute that you came with me to the Doctor's appointment" she told him. "Well that explains a lot" he told her giving her his best charm smile he could muster.
"Stella Bonasera" the nurse called from the door. Stella and Flack stud up and walked through the door the nurse called them. They followed her to a room and told them that the doctor would be right in to see them. Dr. Bedrock came in through the door "Stella how are you? Last time I saw you it was to tell you that you were pregnant and that was 3 weeks ago" he told her. "Yes it was" she replied. "So this must be the father of the baby I assume" the Dr asked them. "No his just a very good friend of mine and I didn't want to come alone, so I asked I'm to come with me" she told him nervously. "Good for you deer, you always need good friends like him to help out with things in life whether it be good or bad" he told them giving Flack a smile. "Shall we get started" he said pointing to the bed. Stella lay down on the bed and lifted her shirt exposing her abdomen. The doctor put some cold jell and started to do the ultrasound. The doctor wanted to check the hart beat of the monitor to see how the baby was developing. "The baby is all good your next appointment is in 1 ½ month from today Stella" he told her. "It was nice to meat you" he to flack shaking hands. "Likewise" Flack told him. They walked out of the exam room to the hallway then Flack opened the door to the waiting room. "Your appointment will be for November 30" the receptionist told Stella. "Thank you, see you then" Stella replied. Flack started walking to the door then opened it when Stella got closer, then closed it behind them when they walked out. They walked to the elevator and pressed the down button when Flack said "I'm hunger haven't had breakfast yet, would you like to grab some before I take you to the lab." "I would like that very much if you don't mind" she told him. The elevator opened up, and they walked in and Flack pressed the button to go to the main lobby. They got out of the elevator walked out of the building into the cool weather. He opened the door for Stella then went around to the car and got in to the car. The drove to a diner near the Lab, got of the car and walked in to the diner.
They looked for a place to sit and there was a booth on their left next to a window. Flack led Stella to the booth and let her sit down before he sat across from her. The waitress came and gave them their menus and asked "what would you like to drink." "Some orange juice would be fine" Stella told her. "Another glass o orange juice would be fine thank you" Flack replied. "I'll be right back to take your order and bring your juice" she told them then started to walk away. "What no coffee detective" Stella told Flack. "I didn't get coffee because then you would want some and I've heard that caffeine is bad for the baby" he replied giving her a little smirk. "Thank you that's so thoughtful of you" she told him giving him a gig smile. The waters came back and placed the orange juices on the table. "Have you decided what you're going to order" the waters asked. "Yes let me have the blue berry pancakes with beacon and hash brown on the side" Stella replied. "And for you sir" the waitress said. "I'll take the same just put an egg on the side also" Flack replied. "Will that be all" she said. "That will be all thank you" flack told her giving her a charm smile that he gave most good looking women. "Do you give all good looking women your charm smile or only the ones your interested in" Stella told him while sipping from her orange juice. "No I don't do it to all women" he said glaring at her. "O" is all she could say. They both talked about different things going on in their lives meanly about her and the baby. 15 min later the waitress came bringing them there food. "Thank you" flack told her. Both Flack and Stella started eating their food. After eating their food and flack paying they left.
They headed to the lab. They walked in together to the lab and people where looking, well starring at them. They walked to her office and they booth sat down in opposed sides of the desk. "So people hear think that something is going on between us right, because I started bringing you breakfast and we have had more cases together lately. Not that I mind don't get me wrong or anything, it's just that people think the wrong way all the time and I think you should let them know about the baby that way there carful around you, you know. Don't look at me that way I know what you're thinking. There probably going to think that the baby is mi…." Stella didn't let him finish before she said "Look Flack people who are not are friends are assuming things right so ill tell them that I'm pregnant but that it's not your baby and were just good friends. If they don't believe me then that's up to them don't you think" she asked him. "You know what you're right people can think whatever they want and I'll be supporting you every step of the way" he told her with a reassuring smile. "Thanks Don" she replied giving him a warm smile. He got up and left waving goodbye and heeding to Mac's office.
"Hay Mac you wanted to see me" he told Mac as soon as he walked in to the office. "Oh hay Flack, sit I'll be right with you just let me sign this report" Mac told him. Mac signed the report then put it in the corner and looked at Flack. "Thank you for looking over Stella she needs that from peoples specially her friends. I know you probably noticed that people have been looking at you and Stell differently and I'm assuming it's because you're spending more time together at work and outside of it too. It's good for her to be distracted now because of the baby, she needs us and I'm glad that your there when the rest of us aren't able to be there" he told Flack giving him a reassuring smile. Flack sighed and looked at Mac. "Stella and I have discussed what she's going to do. She is going to tell everyone in the lab about the baby, and that there is nothing going on between us. If they want to believe it or not that's their problem not Stella's or mine" Flack told him seriously. "That's good you and Stella think that way because she needs all her friends" Mac told him putting his hand on Flack's shoulder. Flacks cell phone started ringing. He hung up the phone and looked at Mac. "There's a case in Central Park west they want one of you guys to come with me." "Take Stella and Lindsey with you." "Ok see you later Mac" Flack told him heading out the door. He headed to Stella's office where both Lindsey and Stella were there. He knocked on the door then went in. "Hay Mac wants both of you to go to a crime scene with me. Sorry am I interrupting anything" Flack told them. "Of course not" Lindsey piped up. "So are you going to get us something to eat afterwards?" "That depend on where you ladies want to go eat." "Very funny Flack," Lindsey told him. "Ok let's go ladies" he told them while Stella was smiling at him. He just smiled at her and let them walk out the door first.
