Everybody Knows & Baby Ambitions

A little Add-on I thought of after I posted the previous chapter! :)

Ryan knew full well that Nevaeh's parents, as well as his own girlfriend were going to let the whole lab know about the diaper episode.

"With this development, Mr. Wolfe, I'm sending out an e-mail that you do any dumpster diving on any scene you're on," he said, cracking a smile.

Ryan sighed.

"I guess you heard, did you?" He asked.

"Yeah," Horatio said. "You know it's pretty bad when a one-year-old is laughing at you, too."

Aside from the diaper episode, spending time with Nevaeh had caused Natalia to start thinking of babies with Ryan. Ryan wasn't against having children with his lover. Getting over his extreme anxiety about dirty diapers and other messes babies and children made that was made worse by his OCD was something he was working on fiercely. He saw the joy parenthood that bought to his co-workers' lives. Aside from their joking, both Eric and Calleigh assured Ryan that he hadn't hurt their child's feelings because Ryan worried he had and it was the last thing he wanted. He really did love Nevaeh.

"She's too young to have those thoughts, Ryan," Calleigh said. "She was laughing 'cause I bet she thought you were trying to entertain her."

"And if she were going through a moment of 'not liking you' I can tell ya she would have refused no matter to give you that big hug and kiss at bedtime," Eric said. "She has her own mind and can be stubborn when she wants."
