A/N.: A big thank you to OnceUponABopper for leaving me my first review! So here's chapter 4 :)
Chapter 4:
When Megan came home, her phone began to ring
"Megan Hunt."she said. "Hey Megan, I need a favor from you..." Megan was a bit annoyed "Just say it, Todd." "Alright, the office called and I have to work today and tomorrow as well, so I was hoping you could take Lacey for the rest of the week-end." Megan immediately answered "Yes, sure" Todd breathed a sigh of relief "Yeah? Great, I'll drop her off in about two hours." Megan smiled- she was going to spend the week-end with her daughter "Okay, see you in two hours." "Bye."
Lacey arrived two hours later, as promised. Megan opened her door with a big smile "Hey Lace" she greeted "Hi Mom" Lacey said and hugged her mother tightly, Megan returned the hug and kissed the top of her daughter's head. "Come in you two." Lacey and Todd entered her apartment, Todd carrying Lacey's suitcase "Jeez, Lace what's in there?" he asked out of breath. "Dad, I'm a girl- I have to be prepared for everything." Megan chuckled "That's my girl" Lacey smiled at her mom. "Thanks Megan, I'll call you when I need to pick her up." "Alright, bye Todd." Todd gave his daughter a hug "Bye Dad." Todd smiled "Bye Lace"
After closing the door, Megan turned towards Lacey "So, what do you wanna do?" Lacey smiled at her mother "Uhm, I don't know, but right now I'm kinda in the mood for some shopping." Megan had to laugh at that "You're definitely my daughter! But shopping's fine with me, I need a new dress." Lacey eyed her mother with mischievous eyes "You need a new dress? You've got like a million dresses in your closet. Megan chuckled "Yeah, but you don't really have that few either." Lacey giggled.
He stood in the shadows, as he watched them shopping and happily laughing. He knew, he shouldn't follow them around, but he had to.
The girl that was with Megan looked so much like her, she had to be her daughter, he thought. When he left the mall, his was feeling happy but at the same time sad- he wished he could have come back earlier, but that wouldn't have been safe. So he went into his lonely hotel room to plot out, how he was going to make his approach.
Megan had spent a great weekend with Lacey and therefore went to work in a very good mood, also quite excited to see Peter again. At the thought of Peter she had to smile.
"What are you smiling about?" Peter asked as he approached her. Megan startled out of her thoughts "What the... Oh hi Peter, actually I was just thinking of you." Peter snaked his arms around her waist "I should certainly hope so." he said teasingly and kissed her softly. Hand in hand they walked towards the elevator that connected the parking garage with the office.
The day was a very quiet day with no new case to work on except the seemingly never ending paperwork. By the time Megan had finished the paperwork, she was exhausted and allowed herself so close her eyes for a moment. She was startled, when someone knocked on her door.
"Yes, Ethan?" she asked a bit annoyed. Ethan looked a little frightened as usual "Hi Dr. Hunt, I um, the body I work on, um, I tested practically everything, but I still can't find cause of death, could you..." Megan rolled her eyes "Alright, did you check her immune system?" Ethan paled "No, I um didn't think it was a possible solution.." "Now see, if you didn't check, how will you know whether it isn't an option?" Ethan smiled awkwardly "Thanks Dr. Hunt, I'll check it now." Megan sighed "Bye Ethan." After that she decided to call it a day and gathered her things. On the way to the elevator she went to Peter's office to tell him, she was going home.
"Hey Peter, are you finished yet?" Peter sighed "Almost, man I hate paperwork." Megan chuckled as she came farther into the room "Who doesn't? I just came by to tell you that I'm going home." Peter stood up and walked around his desk towards her. "Thanks for stopping by." he said and kissed her sweetly on the lips. "Do you want me to come over tonight, after I'm done with work?" Megan smiled "I'd love that." Peter smiled as well "Alright, I'll see you later, love you." He kissed her one last time "Love you, too."
She left the office and went straight to her car, something felt odd, but she couldn't place her finger on what exactly, so she just shook it off.
While he had been in his hotel room he had done several researches about her life and hence found out where she worked and whom with. At the moment he followed her from her workplace to wherever she was driving to, hoping she wouldn't notice somebody following her.
Please leave me a review to let me know what you think! :)
