Esposito was sitting at his desk it was early in the morning around three probably. He couldn't stop the feelings going through him knowing that she had a date. Tonight. It was three in the morning now and at nine this evening she would be going out. He stood he had to do something and he knew it. He also knew something that he had to tell her.

He took a chance she'd be at work and she was. Kate had told him she'd been staying late because she had been calling in work lately she said she had the flu and was throwing up. the light was on in the morgue he took a deep breath and opened the door. She was sitting at a small metal desk in the corner writing a report.

"Lanie" She turned and took a deep breath.

"Esposito. Hi, What are you doing here?"

"I came to see how you were feeling" He went further into the room stopping about two feet away.

"Oh, I'm fine. Just a little bug that's all" She made a dismissing gesture and he nodded letting it drop for now.

"So, I heard you have a date tonight" He said and she looked away.

"Yeah, I do his name is Jack,but why do I get the feeling you already know that?" He shrugged.

"Beckett wouldn't tell me his name" He told her and she nodded.

"Lanie...I'm sorry I hurt you" She shook her head and slid off the stool talking as she did.

"It doesn't matter I'm not this kind of girl" He grabbed her arm stopping her from passing him.

"What kind of girl?"

"The kind who lets you flirt around with her all day at work and then let's you crawl into bed with her once and awhile to get it out of your system. I'm not that kind of girl" She looked ready to cry and he felt lower then dirt.

"So you think this Jack guy is going to be different?"

"Yeah. He's the kind of guy I can settle down with. He'll take care of me. He'll make me happy" She told him and he let her go she walked about two feet away when his voice stopped her.

"Is he going to raise my baby too?" She turned around.

"How did...?" She looked stunned. He walked closer, close enough she could feel the heat off his body.

"Baby, I'm a cop remember?" She looked away.

"You didn't even tell Beckett. Are you that ashamed?" She moved around him once again.

"I didn't tell anybody" She told him and he nodded sighing and taking a seat on her vacant stool.

"What are you doing? with it?" She spun around to face him angry at his suggestion.

"I'm having it" She didn't even realize she was putting her hand protectively on her stomach. She had a slight bump but nothing that would be noticable unless you already knew.

"When were you going to tell me?" She dropped her head and he sighed.

"That's what I thought"

"I was going to tell you but I didn't know when I should and I just realized a few weeks ago"

"Have you been to a doctor yet?" He couldn't help his instant conern for his baby.

"Yeah I went a few days ago. Everything is fine...I'm sure you can guess when it happened"

"Why didn't you tell me? I thought you were probably taking something. If I had known I would have stopped" She shrugged.

"I don't sleep around Esposito. I don't need to take anything and I didn't want you to stop"

"So...what do you need me to do?"

"Nothing."

"Lanie. That's my baby too and I'm not going to step out of it's life"

"So...Why didn't you call me? it's been three months. I found out and I was scared and alone and I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to tell you because I didn't think you'd care and I finally decide that I'm keeping it I move on from you and you show up"

"So did you tell Jack that in less then seven months you're having a baby?" She shook her head.

"Not yet"

"Pretend all you want. Date this guy marry him play house it won't change the fact that is my baby growing inside you not his" he stood and she backed up he sounded angry. angrier than the night at his place

"I'm not pretending...I know it's your baby...but it's my baby too and I want him or her to have a perfect life" He stepped closer and she backed into an empty autopsy table.

"I can give you both everything you ever dreamed of" He told her softly.

"No you can't"

"Marry me, Lanie" He looked desperate and she shook her head looking just disgusted.

"You're just doing this because I'm pregnant and that's another reason I didn't want to tell you. I knew you were going to do the right thing and I didn't want to put you in that position"

He shook his head and walked towards her fishing in his pockets.

"It's not because of that. I mean...I love that baby but that's not why I'm asking I'm asking because I love you" She was crying now.

"I went downtown to a jewelry store and I bought you this" He opened a blue velvet box with a beautiful diamond engagemt ring he dropped down on one knee infront of her.

"I bought it...on the second day that you were staying with me" He said honestly making sure she got what he was saying.

"So...you bought that before..."

"Everything. Before we knew about Hayes before we...before the baby Lanie. Before all of that I knew that I loved you and I wanted to be with you...I admit I was stupid and I lost sight of that for awhile"

"I showed Ryan that morning at my mothers house...he told me to do it then but I couldn't I didn't know how you felt" He said and she smiled.

"I don't know I..."She looked away and then back.

"I' m scared...this is all so fast and I..." she wiped a stray tear when she spoke

"Do you love me?" He asked she looked at him.

"Lane...do you love me?" She nodded.

"Of course I do" He stood and moved towards her she tried to back up but couldn't because of the table.

He smiled at her and she looked up at him. He leaned down and kissed her his hands running in her hair. When he pulled away she was still crying.

"Marry me Lanie" She nodded.

"Yes"

He kissed her again and slid the ring on. More kisses and he pulled her close. He grabbed her hips and set her on the table behind her. His hands finding her hair again pulling her lips back down to his. The height difference wasn't much different than when she was standing. She wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him closer her hands pushing at his jacket. He broke away.

"Lanie...we can't do this" He smiled and she looked at him.

"Why? nobody is here"

He kissed her again he couldn't help it he couldn't resist her. This time he pulled back he held her away slightly.

"The baby...I don't want to hurt..." She shook her head.

"You won't" He kissed her cheek and shook his head with a smile.

"Well...this is a spacial occasion"
