"Harry I'm sorry about what I did last night" Nikki said as soon as Harry walked into the living room after work "I didn't mean it" she whispered and she hastily wiped her eyes as she felt them well up. Smiling slightly Harry moved forward and gathered her into his arms and held her tightly against him, pressing his mouth to her hair he gave her a kiss and breathed in the smell he had missed the night before.

"It's alright" he whispered into her hair as he rubbed her back "I know you didn't mean it"

Nikki moved away from him slightly and leant up to kiss him.

"I missed you last night" she told him as he placed his hand on her stomach "Don't leave me alone again, even if I shout and scream at you to leave"

"I promise" Harry chuckled and gave her a kiss "Now where are my boys?"

------------

Later on in the evening when Nikki was in the bath and Harry downstairs watching the news, the twins and Darius fast asleep the phone rang. Reaching over the arm of the sofa Harry picked it up and answered it, turning the television down slightly as he did so.

"Evening Harry" Leo said instantly down the phone "I'm not ringing at a bad time am I?"

"No you're fine" Harry replied "Is there a case?"

"No I was just ringing to see if things are okay with you and Nikki"

"Things are fine" Harry smiled "We're back to normal"

"Good" Leo said shortly and Harry heard Sam shout something he didn't hear properly "Sorry I have to go"

"That's alright" Harry smirked and ran one hand through his hair "Go and entertain your wife"

"Dinner is ready Harry, that's it" Leo chuckled "Young people these days" he joked

"Bye Leo" Harry laughed as Nikki walked in the door.

He hung up after Leo and placed the phone back on the table and Nikki sat next to him. Wrapping one arm around her shoulder Harry leant down and kissed her before he leant back slightly and rested his forehead on hers. Stealing another kiss Nikki leant back slightly and looked towards the kitchen then back at her husband who placed one hand gently on her stomach under her baggy nightshirt.

"Do we have any Kinder Buenos?" Nikki asked suddenly and Harry raised one eyebrow in surprise.

"Kinder Bueno?" he asked slowly "No, why?"

"Because I want to paint the walls with them" Nikki replied sarcastically and hit her husband none to gently on the chest "I need one"

"Need?" Harry asked and looked at the clock "It's nearly half past ten"

"Harry" Nikki whined and leant up to kiss him. She deepened the kiss quickly and ran one hand through his hair before breaking the kiss "Your child is demanding I have one"

Sighing dramatically Harry gently extracted himself from her arms and stole another kiss.

"What I do for you" he said as Nikki grinned triumphantly "I'll be back soon"

"Thank you" Nikki called as he walked out of the room and she moved back in the sofa and brought her legs up so she was laying down. Picking up the television remote she turned the television up and started to watch the news that had just come on. The baby moved suddenly causing Nikki to shift uncomfortably and place her hand on her stomach to rub it gently. A smile broke out on her face as she thought of the baby was carrying and wondered if Harry wanted more children after this one. They hadn't really discussed in detail how many children they wanted, they had all just happened. Nikki however, being an only child, wanted a large family to make up for her childhood. Being official home office pathologists it wasn't any secret that they weren't short of money and could take care of any children that came along. Shifting slightly as the baby moved again Nikki closed her eyes and snuggled down on the sofa.

Half an hour later when Harry walked quietly into the house he heard the gentle hum of the television as he took his coat and shoes off. Slowly walking into the living room he was about to say something to Nikki when he spotted her on the sofa. A smile broke out on his face when he saw her and he carefully placed the carrier bag on the floor before walking over to his sleeping wife. Crouching down beside her he took the television remote from the hand that was dangling over the side of the sofa and placed it on the table next to him before turning back to Nikki and moving some of her hair from her face. Harry then manipulated one of his arms under Nikki and lifted her gently into his arms, she was surprisingly light for a woman who had just reached her fifth month of pregnancy. Nikki shifted slightly and groaned before settling down. Harry then carried her upstairs and placed her in their bed. Giving her a kiss on the lips he pulled the duvet over her body and walked out of the room leaving the door open slightly. As he walked past Darius' door he heard the young boy start to cry, doubling back he walked into the room and saw the boy crying.

"Hey" he whispered as he picked up the crying boy and held him close to him "What's wrong ey?"

He rubbed Darius' back gently, trying to get the boy to calm down. "We don't want to wake mummy do we?" he asked and kissed Darius on the cheek "Because she is very tired at the moment"

After a few minutes Darius calmed down and lay his head on Harry's chest, bunching some of his shirt up in his fist. His breathing evened out after a while and Harry gently placed him back in the cot after giving him a kiss on the cheek. Placing the blanket over his son he ran his hand over his brown hair and waited for a few minutes in case Darius woke up again. When he didn't, Harry turned and left the room to continue down stairs.

Are Harry and Nikki official home office pathologists? I know Leo is and I thought Harry and Nikki were as well...but if they're not oh well they are now. lol!
