Horatio couldn't understand why Jessica was smiling when he dropped her off at her doctor's office.

"Are you sure you're alright?" He asked for the third time.

"Horatio, honey, I am fine." Jessica smiled, "I feel better and I'm happy because the virus might finally be gone."

Horatio nodded and gave her a small smile. However, he still couldn't understand how she could have changed from miserable one day and happy the next. Kyle was also happy at home and Horatio just couldn't figure out why. Jessica hadn't told Horatio that she was possibly pregnant and she was going to do an ultrasound in just a minute.

"Okay, well, I have to go to work… are you sure you don't want me to go in with you?" Horatio asked.

"I'm sure. I will be fine." Jessica smiled and gave Horatio a kiss.

Jessica had an idea on how to tell Horatio she was pregnant if the doctor confirmed it. When Horatio left, Jessica went inside the office and greeted her doctor. As she laid down on the stretcher she started getting butterflies in the stomach. She was nervous yet happy. She really hoped she was pregnant.

At first it didn't seem as if the doctor found anything and Jessica started to get sad that the home pregnancy test and had showed wrong.

"There she or he is." The doctor smiled.

His name was Elijah Daniels and Jessica had known him for years.

"I'm really pregnant?" Jessica asked, tears in her eyes.

"Yes you are. I would say you're 5 weeks along." Elijah smiled, "Have you told the father yet?"

"Not yet. Um, could I get a picture from the ultrasound?"

Elijah nodded and Jessica grinned. She was pregnant!

-I-

Horatio managed to focus on his job, even if he was worried about Jessica. His team knew she had been ill for about two weeks and they knew how worried Horatio was. However, that was about to change. The team worked on two crime scenes until lunch and while the team were on their way out, they met Jessica.

"Hi, could I eat with you?" She asked.

"Absolutely." Alexx smiled, "How are you feeling baby?"

Jessica grinned widely at the word baby and almost told everyone right there. However, she wanted Horatio to know first.

"Better, the doctor says I'm going to be fine."

"Glad to hear that." Alexx said.

The team went to a small diner close to the lab and while they ate, the team slowly started to realize that Jessica had something to say to Horatio and based on the smile in her face, it was good news.

"What did Dr. Daniels say?" Horatio asked.

"He said, I might be morning sick for a few more weeks, but that it will pass." Jessica smiled.

By now Alexx had figured out exactly what was "wrong" with Jessica. In fact it wasn't something wrong, it was something good. Alexx grinned widely and winked at Jessica, letting her know she knew what she meant.

"Then how can you be feeling so good?" Horatio asked.

Frank looked confused between the couple and then realized that when his ex-wife had been pregnant with their children she had also been morning sick for a few weeks. He almost gasped as he realized that Jessica was carrying a baby!

"Because I know it will pass and because I guess I don't feel so miserable about it anymore." Jessica said.

"Okay." Horatio shrugged.

He still couldn't figure out why Alexx and Frank were grinning like fools and he seemed to be the only one not understanding anything. Had he lost his touch of reading people? No, he just didn't treat Jessica like a suspect and his worry about her health was overshadowing the fact that she had already left clues as to what was going on.

"He did say I'll get hungrier in a few weeks though, as if I would be eating for two." Jessica said and glanced at Horatio.

Horatio still had confusion written all over his face and Alexx almost felt like smacking him. She knew that it was harder for him to catch the clues that Jessica said, because he was still worried she would become more sick.

"Well, you did lose a lot of food in the last two weeks." Horatio said.

Calleigh and Natalia giggled, it was so fun watching their boss completely unaware that Jessica and him were going to become parents!

After lunch, Jessica handed Horatio an envelope and then went home. She told him not to open it until he was in his office. While she was at home she was waiting for him to call. Horatio frowned as he looked at the envelope. Was Jessica hiding something?

"Okay." He muttered to himself and wait straight to his office.

Just as he was about the envelope, Rick Stetler burst through the door.

"Horatio, did you know that one of the officers on the Hanniger-scene today was a drug dealer?" Rick asked.

Horatio placed the envelope on the desk.

"No."

"Well, he just got caught selling drugs." Rick said, "He was the first officer on the scene too."

"He might have been the killer." Horatio said, "Let's go talk to officer…"

"Seth Banner." Rick said.

Horatio had to let the envelope wait and do his job. He and Rick interrogated the officer and it turned out that he was only the first one the scene because the victim was one of his clients and he wanted to remove possible evidence that could expose him.

When the interrogation was finished, Horatio sat down by his desk again and was just about to open the envelope a second time, when the door opened and Cooper walked in with some new evidence in the second case that day.

"Alright, let's see what we got." Horatio sighed.

It took an hour to watch what Cooper had and when that was done, Horatio got called out to a crime scene again. He didn't come back to the lab, until four and he sighed heavily as he sat down.

"Please let me open this envelope." He muttered and opened it.

A little picture fell out and Horatio's eyes widened as he understood what kind of a picture it was. It was an ultrasound picture and even though a baby wasn't very visible, Horatio knew what Jessica had been leaving hints about during lunch. She was pregnant!

Horatio called their house immidiately.

"Hello." Jessica answered.

"Are you really pregnant?" Horatio asked.

"You finally saw the picture huh?" Jessica chuckled.

"I was interrupted several times. Are you?"

"Yes, I am 5 weeks pregnant!" Jessica grinned.

The phone went quiet and for a moment Jessica thought Horatio had passed out.

"Hello?" She asked, "Horatio?"

"I'm going to be a dad again?" He asked quietly.

Jessica could hear that he was on the verge of tears and she started to cry silently.

"Yeah, you really are going to be a dad again." Jessica smiled.

She knew Horatio was so happy that he didn't know what to say, because he was so silent.

"Wow…" Horatio said, "I'm going to be a dad."

Jessica chuckled and wiped a tears away.

"And you're going to be a mom." Horatio said, "We're having a baby!"

"We sure are." Jessica smiled, "Oh god, I am so happy Horatio!"

"Can I tell everyone I know?" Horatio asked.

"You can shout it out if you want to." Jessica laughed, "I'll call my brother and tell him the good news."

"I love you so much and I am just going to let my team know and I'll be on my way home!" Horatio grinned.

"Love you too." Jessica smiled and hung up.

Horatio looked at the photo again and grinned widely. It was his and Jessica's baby! Not only was he going to be a father again, but he would also have the chance to be there from the start. He knew Kyle was going to be so happy!

Horatio left his office and found his team in the break room. He put the picture on the table. The girls and Frank had already known, but Ryan, Jesse and Walter hadn't understood either that Jessica was pregnant at lunch.

"Oh my! Jessica's pregnant!" Alexx gasped and pretended that she hadn't known.

"You figured it out before me." Horatio grinned.

Everybody gave him a hug and the boys patted his back.

"Guess we'll be hearing about you changing diapers soon and being up late with a crying baby." Jesse smirked.

"I wouldn't want it any other way." Horatio smiled.

"I am so happy for you and Jessica!" Calleigh shrieked, "We have to have a baby shower!"

"And you have to think of names." Walter smiled.

"Whoa, slow down, we have to tell everyone first. Kyle needs to know and her parents and brother." Horatio said.

"This is going to be so exciting!" Natalia and Calleigh grinned.

"You realize the baby will be spoiled extremely much by his or hers parents, the uncle and aunts?" Frank asked.

"Yeah, I know." Horatio chuckled.

The door opened and a confused Eric asked what was going on. Since he didn't work at the lab, but at the state attorney's office, he hadn't been with them during lunch.

"I'm going to be a dad." Horatio smiled.

"No way!" Eric exclaimed and gave Horatio a hug, "Congratulations!"

"Thanks. Now, I have to get home to my pregnant girlfriend and my son." Horatio grinned.

The team watched him leave and the girls sat down to discuss what they though Jessica and Horatio would name their baby.

"Maybe Jr." Natalia said.

"Maybe, but I think Horatio once mentioned that if he had a second son he would want to name him Kevin or Tobey." Alexx said, "But it was a long time ago."

-I-

As soon as Horatio came home he picked Jessica up from the ground and hugged and kissed her hard.

"You have just made me the happiest man on earth." He grinned.

"Well, we both made this baby so you helped make me the happiest woman on earth." Jessica chuckled.

"Wow, you'll be having mood swings and cravings." Horatio smiled, "I actually look forward to that."

The front door opened and Kyle looked confused between his father and Jessica. Kyle had found the home pregnancy test, but he had no idea that the doctor had confirmed it in the morning.

"Kyle, you're going to be a big brother!" Horatio smiled.

"Really?" Kyle asked.

"Yeah, prepare for diapers and late night cries." Jessica grinned.

Kyle hugged both Jessica and Horatio and then looked at the ultrasound photo that Horatio had brought home with him.

"How far along are you?" He asked.

"5 weeks." Jessica smiled, "My brother Henry was so excited to hear that I'm pregnant. He's been waiting for the chance to be an uncle."

Jessica hadn't told her parents yet, because she knew what her father would say. Horatio also knew this. They would go up to them in two weeks and then they would find out. The baby would also have the team members as uncles and aunts. And he or she was definetely going to be spoiled, if not by Jessica, Horatio and Kyle, then definetely by Calleigh and Alexx. The others would probably join them soon as well.

"Wow, me… a big brother." Kyle grinned, "Congratulations!"

"Thank you, son." Horatio smiled.

"Thanks Kyle." Jessica grinned.

As the trio ate dinner, they talked about names and how exciting it would be to feel the baby kick. Kyle didn't look forward to waiting so long for his little sister or brother to arrive.

"Time goes faster than you think." Horatio smiled.

Later that night, Horatio and Jessica were lying in bed. Horatio caressed her belly.

"There's a person growing inside of you." Horatio smiled, "A life that we created. A baby."

"It's amazing." Jessica grinned, "I'll become big as a whale."

"A sexy whale." Horatio chuckled and gave Jessica a soft kiss.

"We have to get a nursery." Jessica said.

"I have an empty guest room right next to our bedroom, I can make that a nursery." Horatio smiled.

They both fell asleep with thoughts of how fun it would be to buy things for a nursery and for the baby. They dreamed about how amazing it would be to raise their child. To watch him or her grow up.
