Jessica rubbed her belly as she entered the kitchen. She was now 28 weeks pregnant and even though she had round ligament pain she was allowed to walk around in the house, although as little as possible. Jessica hadn't been sure what round ligament pain was when she had come home from the hospital, so she had checked it up. In short it was abdominal pain from when the body was trying to cope with the physical changes that a pregnancy caused. Jessica had been in a lot of pain some days and in very little pain other days. Horatio was always there to help and support her, unless he was working of course. Today, Horatio was working on two murder cases and would probably not be home for dinner. As much as he wanted to, he sometimes had to sacrifice that in order to solve cases.

Jessica opened a cabinet and was horrified to see that her craving wasn't there. Her craving was Oreos and she needed it now!

"I swear to god that man forgot to buy it!" Jessica growled and called her red headed boyfriend.

At the lab Horatio was in the layout room with his team when his phone rang. Since they knew Jessica had round ligament pain they understood that Horatio answered his phone faster than a bullet could fly through the air.

"Jessica, sweetheart what is it?" Horatio asked.

"There are no Oreos at home." Jessica growled lightly.

Horatio winced, "Um… ops, sorry sweetheart."

"Sorry? Horatio, I need those Oreos!" Jessica cried and could feel tears threatening to fall.

"I will buy some when I come home."

"That's ages from now!"

"Jessica, honey, I'm sorry. But you'll just have to survive without them."

Horatio regretted saying that when he heard Jessica gasp.

"I'll buy them myself." She growled.

"No! I'll do it, just not now." Horatio said.

His team was smirking at him as they understood from what Horatio said, that Jessica was missing her Oreos. They knew how furious Jessica could be when she didn't have them close by.

"You, you, you man! You better buy me the entire shelf!" Jessica whined and hung up.

Horatio shrugged. He really couldn't leave work. He barely had time to a take bathroom break. If he was lucky he would be able to get a ten minutes break to eat lunch. Jessica would just have accept that there were no Oreos at home.

Back in the beach house, Jessica thought for a long time about calling her brother Henry and have him drive from Orlando with Oreos.

"Oh, don't be stupid." She said to herself, "Horatio will buy it when he comes home."

Jessica tried to push the thoughts of Oreos out of her mind and to distract herself from it she watched TV and then a horror movie. She listened to music and cleaned the kitchen. She noticed that the baby was kicking during the cleaning and Jessica took a moment to simply feel the kicks. She sat down on a kitchen chair and smiled as she could feel a kick under her hand.

"Hey baby." She smiled, "Not too long left now. Soon you'll be here with me and daddy!"

Jessica grinned widely and after a few moments she went back to cleaning. When she had done all she could think of doing, Jessica sat down on the couch in the living room and thought of only one thing: Oreos.

-I-

Horatio was tired as he strolled through the mall that was closest to home. He had been working since seven in the morning to seven in the evening. He was longing to get home to his pregnant girlfriend and just rest and get some food in his empty stomach. However, first he had to buy what he had promised to buy; Oreos for Jessica. Horatio suddenly stood there in front of the part of shelf that the Oreos were on.

"The entire shelf she said… um, maybe not though." Horatio said quietly to himself.

He was thinking hard. Maybe he should by the entire shelf for her after all.

-I-

Jessica would have gladly jumped up in Horatio's arms when she heard the front door open and close, but she was tired and was about to fall asleep on the couch. Horatio smiled as he saw her lying on the couch and bent down next to her.

"Hi." He said.

"Hi. I'm sorry for being so evil to you on the phone." Jessica whispered.

"It's okay. I understand." Horatio smiled and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "Still craving for Oreos?"

"Not anymore. But I probably will later." Jessica smiled.

"I got you some."

"Oh, you're so sweet!" Jessica grinned and bent forward to give Horatio a kiss.

Horatio put his hand on her belly, but didn't feel any kicks.

"The baby must be asleep." He said.

"Oh yeah, she or he has been up all day." Jessica chuckled, "Showing mommy what a hyper kid it'll be."

"Maybe a boxer."

"Maybe." Jessica smiled.

"Maybe we'll get a figure skating CSI who solves crime while skating and doing tricks on the ice." Horatio grinned.

Jessica burst out laughing and then gave Horatio a hug.

"You have so many crazy ideas."

"I know." Horatio smiled, "Seriously though, our baby can become whatever he or she wants. As long as it's not something illegal."

"I agree." Jessica said, "Now, we are my Oreos?"

Horatio stood up and went to the hallway to get the Oreos he had left there. He came back with two bags filled with Oreos and Jessica's eyes widened.

"Horatio?" She asked.

"You did tell me to buy the entire shelf of Oreos." Horatio grinned.

Jessica laughed and started putting the packages of Oreos on the living room table.
"Wow, these will last long!" Jessica chuckled.

"I hope so." Horatio said, "You should have seen the look the cashier gave me. He must have thought I was crazy. I told him it was for my pregnant girlfriend."

"I can only imagine the look."

"And the woman behind me told me that it's okay to admit that we all have addictions." Horatio chuckled, "She thought I was blaming it on a pregnant woman."

Jessica laughed and caressed Horatio's cheek softly, "And what did you tell her?"

"I showed her a photo from the ultrasound we had last week." Horatio grinned, "She blushed so much!"

"I bet she did!" Jessica grinned, "How much did this cost?"

"You don't want to know." Horatio chuckled.
