Chapter 39

One afternoon the women were sitting in the kitchen after work talking.

"Sof, don't you think it's about time we find an obstetrician? You are supposed to get an ultrasound after twelve weeks!"

Sofia smiled, "whoa… someone has been reading."

"Yes I have, and I have also found an obstetrician who has a new ultrasound machine, it can show you child in 3D/4D, so I think we should go see her?"

"You're so sweet baby, so have you made an appointment yet?"

"No, I didn't know if you had someone else in mind."

"No, she sounds fine, now I have a question for you, when are we having sex again?"

"Sof, that's not funny!"

"No it's not Sara, I actually find it very frustrating and I miss it, and I don't understand why you don't want to anymore" Sofia said, raising a questioning eyebrow.

"I miss it too Sof, I just don't want to take any chances, I rather go without sex for nine month than lose another child." Sara replied her concern clear.

Sofia got up and went over and sat on Sara's lap, "I love you so much baby, but we don't have to stop living just because I'm pregnant," she slowly let her lips roam over Sara's throat.

Sara briefly closed her eyes, "Sof, please stop that!"

Sofia kissed her way to Sara's ear, "no honey, I'm not going nine month without feeling your hands on my body."

Sara moved Sofia's head until she could look into her eyes, "okay sweetie, if the obstetrician say it's okay for us to have sex then I promise you I will follow her advice, but I won't do anything until we have talked to her."

Sofia kissed her, "okay baby, go call her and I want an appointment tomorrow."

Sara gently kissed her; "I think someone is in deficit."

"Tell me about it," Sofia growled, giving her a grin.

The next day they went to see the doctor, they both liked her and agreed to keep using her, Sofia was scanned and everything looked fine, Sofia couldn't help laugh a little went she saw how absorbed Sara was looking at the screen, she couldn't remember Sara ever being so engrossed in a movie.

"Well ladies, everything looks fine but I want to see you every six weeks from now and the rest of your pregnancy do any of you have any questions?"

"Yes I do," Sara told her with a smile, "I read that after a certain age it's recommended to get an amnio to make sure that the embryo is healthy, is it something you think we should do?"

Normally I would say yes, but since Sofia already has been through the things she has I don't think it's necessary, if there had been anything wrong she already would have lost it but it's up to you, just have in mind it's not risk-free to get an amnio."

Sofia looked at Sara, "whoa… You really have been studied haven't you?"

"Yeah, I want to know what's going on" she said, giving her a shrug.

"You're sweet," Sofia gazed at the doc, "what about sex is that allowed?"

The doc chuckled, "sure, actually a lot of woman enjoys it more when they are pregnant, so as long you feel up to it there's no problems with that."

Sofia looked at Sara, "sweetie, please tell me you heard that?"

Sara blushed, "yes Sof, I heard it."

Sofia sighed, "thank god."

Which made the doc small-laugh, "listen Sara, I can understand why it makes you nervous especially knowing how it went the last time, but I can ensure you that it isn't dangerous to have sex, if anything it will be the opposite. And yes in a couple of months the baby will be able to hear you, but I can promise it won't give a damn, if anything it will react positive because it can feel mommy is happy. So there is absolutely no reason for you two not to have sex unless you're not in the mood" the obstetrician explained.

Sara cupped her face and murmured, "I don't think the mood is a problem."

They got up and shook hand with the doc, they went out and Sofia got a new time six weeks later, and then they went home, the minute they got inside Sofia pinned Sara up against the door and kissed her.

"No more excuses honey, I want you."

Sara gently nibbled on Sofia's neck, "um… I don't know baby, wasn't you the one who once told me that I was spoiling you, maybe I should stop giving you all that you want."

Sofia chuckled, "sorry honey, I don't remember ever saying something that stupid."

"You don't?" Sara said moving to unbutton Sofia's shirt, "do you think I remember wrong? Sara asked letting the shirt fall to the floor.

Sofia caught Sara's lips, "I think you talk too much."

Before Sofia knew what had happened Sara had picked her up and carried her to the bedroom, she gently put her down and removed the rest of their clothes. Sara lay down on her back and placed Sofia atop of her and looked into her eyes.

"Sof, if we are doing this you has to promise me that you will tell me if anything doesn't feel right" Sara said, trying to keep her tone light.

"Sweetie, I know this is making you a little nervous, but I promise anything and you will be the first to know" Sofia replied giving her a supportive smile.

Sara pushed Sofia a bit further down and sat up, her hands slowly started roaming over Sofia's body, stopping with the breasts she gently caressed them; her hands went further down caressing the stomach. Sofia's hands weren't idle themselves, they almost identical followed the same path as Sara's, and it didn't take long before both had their hand between each other's legs. And from there on nothing took very long, since they wasn't use to go two months without sex, a few minutes later both cried out as they went over the edge, after calming down they both laid down and just hold each other.

Sofia began giggling, "That was fast."

Sara chuckled, "yeah, I don't think junior realized what happened!"

Sofia's eyes widened slightly, "Junior?"

"Yeah, since we don't know if it's going to be a boy or a girl and I don't want to keep calling it for it, I have decided to call the baby junior."

"Do you want to know what we are having, Sara?"

"No, I don't care what we are having as long it's a healthy child, do you want to know?"

"No, I want it to be a surprise; it of course makes it a bit difficult to pick a color to the baby room."

"Why?"

Sofia narrowed her eyes, "why what?"

"Why is the color a problem? I'm not that much into the thing about boys has to wear blue and girls pink, the walls are not getting those colors anyway!"

Sofia had to suppress her laughter at that, "and you don't think it's something we should talk about?"

Sara shrugged her shoulders lightly and grinned "no!"

"No?"

Sara studied her carefully for a moment. The sparkle in Sofia's eyes continued to shine, "no, ´cause I know you feel the same way."

Sofia gave her an endearing smirk, "yes I do, so what color do you think would work?"

She shrugged her shoulders, "I really don't like those over done baby rooms, you know those with wallpaper with Walt Disney motives or things like that, you can use that as a duvet covers, think I will prefer something light."

"Me too I don't want a dark room, perhaps a very light orange, I think it's a color that can go both to a boy and a girl."

"Mmm… think that could work." Sara cleared her throat softly, "Sof, don't you think it's about time we tell your family that you are pregnant?"

"Yeah," Sofia sighed, "I just want to be sure that nothing goes wrong, before we say anything."

Sara could see the concern in her eyes. She slowly raised her hand and stroked her cheek, "I know baby, but nothing is going wrong, and the longer we wait the more they will wonder why we waited so long to tell them."

Sofia sighed heavily and met her eyes, "I know I'm just still afraid to believe that it's going to happen this time."

Sara wrapped her arms around her and pressed a kiss into her hair, "baby, I think it's time we both stop being afraid and start believing what the doctors are telling us. I'm just as scared as you are, that's why I have been reading so much, and every statistics I have seen says that 99% of all pregnancy that gets past twelve weeks are going to succeed."

Sofia settled into her embrace as her smile grew, "sometimes I really love being married to an Investigator."

Sara pulled her closer, "sometimes?" She growled.

"I love you, Sara," Sofia giggled, "and I love being married to you."

Sara softly bit Sofia's lower lip, "you better, ´cause I'm not letting you go."

Sofia turned serious again, "Sara, will you call my mom with me; I think it's time we tell her."

"Yes I will sweetie, and I think we need to tell Leo as well, we owe him that much."

"Okay, do you want to call him?"

Sara smiled, "no, I think you should tell him tomorrow at work."

Sofia chuckled, "just so you know sweetie, I do know what you are doing."

"Yeah, and what would that be?"

"Making sure that Leo will be looking out for me!"

Sara took her face in her hands and gently kissed her lips, "is that a bad thing?"

Sofia shook her head lightly and smiled, "No I like you're trying to protect me."

"Good ´cause I won't stop doing it, now let's get dressed and call you mom."

They called Dana and she was just so happy, well, after she got over the shock, afterwards they called Matt he was also happy for them and thought it was about time. Sofia told Leo the next day and just as she had expected Leo almost became her wing-man, and she wasn't allowed being in front anymore.

Christmas came along, and apparently it helped being pregnant cause Sofia had gotten ten days off, so she wasn't working through the whole holiday. Sofia flew to Vegas, Sara on the other hand took the car and drove to the airport closest to the summer house and flew to Vegas from there.

They were going to spend Christmas with Dana but New Year at the house, Greg and Andres would be joining them with some of their friends from Frisco. Brian had promised to bring Mr. Cool along when he showed up.

The day before Christmas they went by the lab to wish a merry Christmas, their old co-worker was quite surprised when they heard that Sofia was pregnant but wished them all the luck in the world.

Christmas went fine, Greg and Andrea came by and picked them up and they all went to the airport and four hours later they all arrived at the house, over the next couple of days their friends from Frisco started arriving.

New Year went like a party goes when good friends come together; none of the women drank any alcohol, Sofia yeah well.., Sara out off support. Sofia thought it was ridiculous but she was talking to a set of very deaf ear, the next day everyone went home.

Three months had gone since Sofia last was scanned so the women were back for the second one; they went in and sat down.

"Hello ladies, how are things going?"

"Fine," Sofia replied, "just a bit more tired than I use to be."

The doc smiled, "that's perfectly normal, the baby it much more asset now."

"I have a question." Sara glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, "when will you recommend Sofia replace fieldwork with deskwork?"

Sofia inhaled deeply, "Sara..!"

Sara gave her a quick glance, "No sweetie, I don't want you out in the field anymore."

The doc chuckled, "Sofia, I know you like your work but I do have to agree with Sara on this one. I think it's about time you start thinking about it, because from now on you will only be more and more tired."

Sofia took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Okay, but I can keep on working if I don't go out on the streets?"

"Yes you can, but if it's possible I will suggest that you stop working four weeks before your due date."

Sara looked confused, "why shouldn't it be possible?"

"Well, it's not all people who financial can afford it, and it's not all work places that allow their employees to stop that early."

Sofia sighed heavily and ran her fingers through her hair, "four weeks?"

"Sofia, I know right now it sounds like a lot, but I promise you the next time we meet you will be much more open for the proposal, now shall we take a look at you?"

Sofia was scanned and everything looked fine, the doc almost gave Sara a heart attack when she for a short moment thought that they might were expecting twins, but it turned out to be a shadow.

When they got home Sofia was grumbling, she was not happy about the whole sitting behind a desk development. Sara tried to talk to her, but she just cut her off and went to take a bath. After taking a bath she went looking for Sara, she felt embarrassed about her behavior knowing that Sara only was trying to look out for her, when she reached the end of the hallway; she came to a stop and just listens to the conversation Sara was having with Mr. Cool.

"…you do understand that, right?" Mr. Cool wagged his tail.

"But that doesn't mean I'm going to love you any less, so I don't want any jealousy," Mr. Cool barked.

"Now I think it's about time we start your training to be a good watchdog, so how does a good watchdog sound like?" Mr. Cool growled.

"Now that's a good dog." Sara cupped his face and kissed his snout, "I just hope junior is as smart as you, because I really don't know how to do this, so you really have to be a good big brother and help junior out every time I screw up," Mr. Cool tilted his head and licked Sara nose.

Sofia went over and sat down behind Sara and wrapped her arms around her, which Mr. Cool saw as an opportunity to get away before Sara got anymore good ideas.

"Sweetie, you are not going to screw up."

Sara's voice was calm; the words were spoken in the soft, matter-of-fact tone, "oh trust me I will, just like I'm doing with you."

Sofia cleared her throat softly, "No you didn't, and I'm sorry I got mad at you it wasn't fair."

"It's okay Sof, I shouldn't be telling you what to do."

"Maybe not but I do love you care so much." Sofia stifled a giggle successfully, "so how did Mr. Cool take the news?"

Sara turned and pulled Sofia onto her lap, "he was pretty shocked but I think he can handle it. You look tired baby do you want me to give you a massage?"

Sofia kissed her, "mmm… that would be nice."

"Okay, go lie on the bed and I'll go find some oil, sweetie."

After giving Sofia a massage Sara laid down on the bed beside her, she looked at her and wiggled her brows.

A hint of a smile was seen on Sara's lips. "Want to play a game with me?"

A smile matching Sara's played at Sofia's lips, "maybe."

Sara tilted her head and raised an eyebrow at her, "oh no sweetie, not that kind of game, the game I'm thinking about is called, time to find a name for the baby!"

Sofia lightly kissed her, "honey, sometimes you're just such a tease, but you're right we should start thinking of a name, any ideas?"

"I like Jason and Melissa."

Sofia giggled, "Whoa Sara that was a lot of names."

Sara chuckled lightly at her expression, "now let's hear what you can come up with."

"I like Steven and Luke and Mary and Daniela and William and Gary and Mia and Anna."

"Whoa.., you sure like a lot of names, but William isn't that a little old?"

Sofia shrugged her shoulders and offered her a smile "maybe, but I like it, but we didn't have, any name alike."

Sara took a coin out off her pocket, Sofia looked at her.

"Sara, we are not flipping coin over our child's name!"

"We don't?" Sara chuckled, "of course we're not, this is just in case we don't get to an agreement, now choose head or tail."

"Sara, I'm not…" Sara smiled lightly as Sofia's voice trailed off.

"Sof, just choose."

Sofia bit her lip as her eyes narrowed, "Okay head…"

Sara flipped the coin and placed her hand over it, "okay, if it's head you either choose boy or girl, if you say boy and we haven't come to an agreement when the child is born and we get a son we go with the name you choose, and mine if it's a girl or the other way around if you choose girl, okay?"

Sofia stared at Sara for a moment before shaking her head, "yeah, I think that's sounds fair."

Sara kissed her, "okay sweetie, let's take a look… head… you choose."

"I don't know…" Sofia thought for awhile, "Um… okay girl."

"So you decide if it's a girl and I decide if it's a boy."

"Yep," Sofia pulled Sara closer and smiled suggestively, "and now I want compensation for the teasing earlier."

Sara bent her head and let her tongue slide across Sofia's lips, "want me to make you dinner?"

"Um-hmm…" Sofia caught Sara lips, "but not right now."

Actually it ended up take quite a while before they got dinner, but they finally sat down and eat and talked.

"Sara, I been thinking, don't you think we should put the Viper up for sale?"

Sara raised an eyebrow, "why?"

Sofia shrugged her shoulders as she smirked, "it isn't exactly a baby car."

Sara chuckled as she shook her head, "I don't think you have to worry about that babies don't drive."

Sofia laughed, "And you say you don't know anything about babies, no serious Sara it's not fit to have a baby in."

"I know sweetie, but that's no reason to sell it, why don't we just buy a baby car?"

Sofia lightly shook her head, "honey, we don't need three cars."

"No… but I don't understand why you want to sell the Viper, you love driving it, so one when you're bring junior with you, and the Viper when you go by yourself, I don't see the problem in that."

"I didn't say it was a problem it's just a waste of money for something I don't need" Sofia intoned as clearly as she could.

Sara's eyes narrowed quickly as she looked at Sofia, "don't use money as an excuse, I have the jeep and the bike which I don't need either, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to sell neither of them, but it's your car so I'm not going to prevent you from selling it, I'm just sure you are going to regret it."

"Yeah well maybe," Sofia sighed.

Sara got up and knelt down between Sofia's legs and lifted her shirt and placed her mouth close to Sofia's stomach, her hand gently caressing the skin.

"Junior, are you awake..?" Sara placed her ear on the stomach, "oh sorry sweetie, but we have a problem here… listen you need to help me out here mommy has gone a little crazy and want to sell her car… yeah, my word exactly…"

Sofia chuckled, "Sara what are you doing?"

Sara lifted her head and kissed Sofia, "I'm getting help! Okay junior, here is what I want you to do, if mom should sell her car then just go back to sleep, but if you think she shall keep it, I want you to give her a little kick…"

"Sara, it can't kick yet."

Sara winked to her, "junior… sweetie, did you understand what I said..? What..? No, its okay you're allowed to kick!"

Sofia giggled until she suddenly sat straight up, "Sara, did you feel that?"

Sara smiled and placed Sofia's hand on her stomach, "junior can you do it one more time for mommy?"

A moment later Sofia felt a little kick towards her hand which brought tears to her eyes, Sara kissed the stomach before cupping Sofia's head and kissing her, Sara looked into Sofia's eyes.

"Sorry sweetie, but the car stays, junior has spoken!"

"Sara, it kicked!"

Sara laughed at her stunned expression, "Yes it did sweetie did it hurt?"

"No, it was more like a tickle, whoa it's really alive."

"Yes it is and I think it's about time we finish the baby room" she said, smiling.

"Yeah," Sofia kissed her, "and we better start looking for a third car."

"I love you, Sof."

"Love you too, honey."

Tbc…
