Hello. I'm a huge Homeland fan. I saw all three seasons in a span of two weeks. I'm a huge Carrie and Quinn shipper. Been shipping them from the very beginning. I've NEVER written for other fandoms. This is my first EVER fiction for Homeland. So please let me know if this fic is written well. I would love to know your opinions. But PLEASE be a little soft on me considering this is my first fic for the fandom.

And please correct me on Carrie's new job post and whether Quinn had a child with his girlfriend or was it his wife. I'll change it. It's been long since I saw the show.

The baby was due in a few months. Carrie was scared or let's just say terrified and she had made it obvious to Maggie and her father. Ever since her father had agreed to take care of the baby Carrie had made up her mind that it would be the best option. Her job was way too exciting and it would be unfair if she were to work and not take good care of the baby.

If anything had changed it was her relationship with Quinn. He dropped by twice every week to see if Carrie was alright. In the long run he seemed more experienced in taking care of a baby than she ever would be.

*On the day of the delivery*

It was in the evening at 6 P.M. Carrie heard the bell ring. She peeped through the peep hole to see Quinn standing there.

"Quinn? What are you doing here?" Carrie asked as she opened the door, happy to see him.

A smile pulled up on his face. "Hey Carrie. I just wanted to check up on you."

Carrie leaned on the door with one hand. "Didn't you just check up on me yesterday?"

"You got me. Just wanted to keep you company..you know." Quinn lifted his hands in defence.

Carrie just looked up at him, a small smile creeping up on her face. "C'mon in." She moved away from the door to let him in.

He stood midway in the hall with his black bag and a few case files in hand. "What are you searching in my house?" Carrie asked as she closed the door and slowly sat down on the couch resting her leg up on the couch.

Quinn turned to Carrie. "You need to clean up this place. Got the nursery ready?"

"Ok house inspector, I haven't." She joked and placed her hand on her bulging baby bump. "If you haven't noticed, you ask me this question all the time your here."

Quinn sat on the other free couch. "I have noticed that. It's just I don't understand why you don't want to keep a nursery Carrie."

"I don't have time for all that." She waved her hand frantically.

"That's not an answer." Quinn said with a straight face.

She became irritated and her eyes scrunched up with stress. "I don't want to have a job I love and keep the baby here at the same time." She yelled at Quinn.

"Then don't Carrie." Quinn said softly. He knew she was stressed.

"How? It's not fair. I can't believe I'm like this Quinn. Every woman wants This." She pointed to her stomach. "Look at me. Jesus Christ." Her voice became shaky.

"Things change when you have a kid. Feelings change. Think about it. Do you have a crib at least?" Quinn asked, walking to one of the rooms and scanning it.

Carrie didn't answer.

"Hey, Carrie. You there?" He quickly ran to the hall to see if she was ok. Carrie was crying. Tears trickled down her face.

"Carrie, why are you crying?" Quinn placed his hand on her shoulder, kneeling down next to her on the floor.

She looked at him teary eyed. "I fucked up. I...I just want to keep the baby for Brody. I don't even think... I love her."

Quinn couldn't take his eyes off her. In the few weeks he had seen her, her eyes had gotten dark circles, feet swollen. She didn't look good and Quinn was damn worried.

"You didn't fuck up Carrie. You did the right thing. You'll find a way. Stop crying." Quinn re-assured her and handed her a tissue from the box on the table. "I brought you some stuff." He took his black bag and took out a bag.

Carrie wiped her tears. "I'm such a cry baby right?" She joked which earned a smirk from Quinn. She didn't always trust him but he was the only person she could just be herself with. Saul visited her twice a month. Carrie takes trips to the office and now that Lockhart had assigned her as a case officer in Istanbul there was just one thing she wanted to do. Get the baby out and go there. It was a job she could not let go.

"Don't worry, my girlfriend was like this too when she was pregnant." He closed his eyes the moment those words left his mouth. He just never broached this subject to anyone.

"You never talk about her Quinn." Carrie commented.

Quinn took a huge breath. "I don't. I fucked it up, big time. You know that too." The bag he was fishing for was out. It was a black bag.

"What's that?" Carrie inquired.

"Open it up." Quinn prompted to her smiling. Carrie opened the bag to see lot of baby related stuff. She dumped everything on her sofa where Quinn settled on the other end.

"You didn't have to do this Quinn." She sifted through the things, pacifiers and bottles were there.

"I had to Carrie. You're not doing anything so I took it into my own hands."

"That's harsh Quinn." Carrie retorted. "At least let me pay you."

Quinn laughed. "You're kidding right? Keep it. It's the least I can do. Want anything to eat?"

"Nah, I'm good." She looked up at Quinn for a second and was relieved to see him. He was zipping up his bag. Something had definitely changed.

"Ok, I'm going to leave. You need anything.." Quinn got up to leave, slinging his bag on his shoulder.

"I'm good Quinn. " Carrie tried to get up but it was getting tough. "Hey, you need to sit tight." He was ordering her.

"If I keep sitting here than I'm going to go crazy. The fact that we have no proper cases to go about except keeping track of Javadi is more fucked up than anything." Quinn took her hand and helped her up. They walked to the door, Carrie opened it up for him. Before he stepped outside." Quinn" She called out.

He turned around to face her. "Yeah."

"Thanks for everything. I appreciate all your support." Quinn had a light smile on his face. "Don't mention it."

Carrie nodded in reply.

"See you tomorrow." Quinn chided and left to get in his car. He started the engine and left. By the time he was gone for two minutes he got a call. Without hesitating he turned his car quickly making a huge screeching noise as he raced to Carrie's house.
