So...
Calleigh had noticed how her friend had looked at her baby daughter and just how good both were with Nevaeh. Eric too, had seen the wheels in both Ryan's and Natalia's head when they were with his daughter.
They wanted a baby.
Calleigh was the first to ask half the couple if a baby was in the works.
"What?" Natalia asked with a truly stunned look on her face.
"I see the way you two are with Nevaeh," Calleigh replied. "And I know you guys have talkin' about children. And don't give me that 'we have to be more prepared' or 'we have to be married' shit. There's no such thing."
"But—"
"Yeah, I know me and Eric got married before Nevaeh was born but it wasn't we felt we "had" to for any reason or anyone's sake. Only 'cause we wanted to and frankly 'cause we had waited long enough to reveal how we felt as we it was. I just happened to be pregnant at the wedding."
Before Natalia told her friend that she had tossed her birth control pills the week earlier, she asked Calleigh what it was like to be pregnant. Calleigh told her to pick a day on the calender and then ask her.
Calleigh's husband were just as blunt with Ryan in the trace lab.
"So, is Natalia pregnant yet?"
"Excuse me?" Ryan asked.
"You heard me. I see how you are with my little one. I know you two want one," Eric replied.
Ryan wasn't going to deny his and Natalia's desire for a baby. Even though they had only been 'trying' for a week.
"How long did it take for you guys to conceive Nevaeh?" Ryan asked before he thought.
Eric grinned. All kinds of replies entered his mind, like "My guys have perfect aim. 'Got it on the first shot." And "Cuban sperm works fast."
He and Calleigh were positive that their child had been conceived the night they had finally confessed their love. The night Calleigh was had been rescued from her kidnaping. "Never mind!" Ryan replied, just as quickly.
Despite the rocky start when they met Eric and Ryan were now friends. Eric thought Ryan would make a great father.
