He was adjusting to life kind of with a baby. It was not his baby but it was Sita's baby and he was trying to give her a break. He knew deep down that his feelings were not valid when it came to this situation but they did still exist. He turned and knocked on the apartment door and spoke. "Alice, alice are you here?"

Alice knew how close she was to giving birth now. So had left work four weeks before the birth to give herself four weeks afterwards. She was feeling slightly less doubts now about what was going on and what the future would hold. Though still doubted she could deal with it. Right now she was having a light sleep on the couch and looking massive. The knocking on the door woke her up and she got to her feet hearing her partners voice. She still felt too hot as she swore and just did a little flight instead of walking. She was finding this easier in fact as she was also feeling sore as well as tired. She knew the genders but it still felt like two football players in her tummy. “Coming Francis” she called out and landed beside the door to let him in. It was clear she wasn’t having an easy time. “How are you?” she asked trying to look more energetic than she actually was. Francis Dominic

He took a second to look at her and then he shook his head. "Wow, alright look I am here to help." What could he do to help he had no idea of but he did want to see his work partner and right now this was the easiest way. "I even brought Sita's son for us to play with though all he does is sleep." He had no idea how anyone was supposed to adjust to life with a baby but he thought this might make good practice in the end. "You look like you'd rather take a bullet again, come on cheer up."

So Francis was babysitting to give Sita a break. Alice tried to smile but didn’t even manage that. She did look like she was trying to be positive though. “I could do with company. Certainly some help as I’m way too hot and tired. These babies are kicking my ass at present” she confessed. Ask what he said caught up in her brain she looked curious. “Let’s get this little guy comfortable then. How have you been coping with the frontline cases? I worry about you too and I haven’t been there to cover you.” Which showed their partnership was beyond strong. “Do you want anything from the kitchen?” she posed. She could do with another diet soda loaded with ice and what did babies like to drink anyway? She couldn’t deny he looked so cute and that finally got her to smile. Francis Dominic

Francis liked to think that when you worked with someone you did learn about them in a way and though you did not know them completely there was a bond. It was not anything hard to figure out but his partner rightfully so was changing because her life was changing. "The cases are hit and miss as always but doing what I can," he said. "Will be glad when you are back but take all the time you need." He would never rush her back for that would be wrong. "I don't need anything, I just thought we could talk. Your life is changing and I am not sure how women and men deal with becoming parents so I am learning myself. I thought we might could detective work our way into figuring out simply the basics. "He takes milk from a bottle which blew my mind. You have to make it also which is harder than it should be but not impossible." Alice Seraphim

"I'm happy you're going to bat for me" she replied and added "I'll be right back". Again she showed how hard walking even was as she took very low level flight to get to the kitchen and return with a drink that was soda and a lot of ice. "I did go through the course the neonatal nurse gave. Some parts sounded even more graphic that our post mortem reports but I do know one name I want. Aurora for the girl. I'll need Lucas there to figure out what to call the boy but I don't know whose doing the kicking yet. They are both big and active". Then she looked back at Sita's boy. "He doesn't look like he needs anything except being doted on. such a good boy" she cooed. "What's his name Francis?" Francis Dominic

Francis did not even know why this was so emotional for him. He was not going to cry or anything like that but still. "I don't know," he said honestly. "I mean I was trying to ask Sita but I just wanted to help, let's just call him baby." He had absolutely no parental instinct which was fine. Alice Seraphim

“He looks like a good boy anyway” Alice replied feeling all maternal to the baby. An extension of what she feeling towards her own twins who were still waiting their time to emerge. “I can make up a bottle if he needs one. My baby supplies are all good to go” she added carefully picking him up so she could nurse him. This was a practice run for her as well as making Sita’s life a bit easier too. He was looking a bit sleepy too. “There you go. It’s fine to sleep” she cooed as she held him firmly. Francis Dominic

"Okay that will work fine," he said. "Baby suppliers?" he asked as he laughed. "I get what you mean it's just an awkward thought but I mean if you want to," he said. "So how are you adjusting to everything in your life, it will be changing soon but in what I hope is a way that you are used to and want." Alice Seraphim

"I mean my baby food and diapers are here already. So he's not going to go hungry" Alice replied as the baby she was in temporary care of did look like he'd had a long day. "I'm going to have less front line time. That will be the main change but perhaps I can be sharpshooter for a while" she posed adding "I'm also going to have to take things easier for a few weeks after the birth but I just need more rest and proper meals right now. So when I feel up to cooking I'm making up meals in food containers and freezing them. They'll also be handy for Lucas and his family when they come to visit". She needed all the vitamins she could get right now on top of eating more regularly. Francis Dominic

"Yes that is all understandable. I went down the google hole of childbirth and well it was not something that I am proud to say one never wants or should see images of because once you see them you simply can not see it and meal prepping is always good, it really is truly beneficial in the end."

"You did that too? I might not have gone as deep but some parts of that would make an autopsy report look tame" she softly said. "I'll probally keep doing the meal prep later on as Lucas and myself will either be on different work patterns, tag teamed by twins or just not in the mood to cook. You're making your own TV dinners this way" she added. The neonatal nurse had also ben giving her the information that would help when it was time to not only give birth but be able to deal with a pair of crying needy babies; they would need both parents right away.

"I mean I do not know if I will ever have children but I mean if Sita and I are going to be friends or wherever our strange relationship is I figure I need to know a little about babies though it is not pretty at all. It is as a matter of fact one of the most ugly things that gives you all the good feelings." Alice Seraphim

“You just might learn a bit sticking around Sita and myself. Three babies will teach you more than just one and he seems to be well behaved. I don’t know how my two will be” Alice mused. She’d get the diaper and bottle feed handy in case he did wake up and got to her feet to do just that. Going into her kitchen to make up the bottle was the start of that chain of thought. “I have a feeling Sita and yourself will have a strong relationship even if it is strange. Babies might be the key” she added. Francis Dominic

He had to take it all in and then he spoke. "If Sita and I ever have a baby I will take all of us to Germany on my dime," he said honestly. "I just know that right now it seems impossible and plus it is okay. Sita got what she wanted and I am just ready to have my partner back to do more cases but the whole family aspect of your life is cool now too." Alice Seraphim
