Summary: Takes place right after Natalia tells Eric she might be pregnant. She went to the doctor and found out that she wasn't pregnant. But what if she was?
This is my take on what would have happened. This is an Eric/Natalia. Mostly them with some mentions of Calleigh/Ryan and Marisol/Horatio (Remember this takes place in the fourth season).
A/N: First story that is longer than one chapter posted. Tell me how it is please just because I love reviews.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Sadly.
A/N2: Italics are lines taken directly from the show (in this chapter at least. If that changes, I'll let you know). This chapter is mostly Natalia and Eric though.
"After you see him-"Eric said.
"Her." Natalia interrupted.
"Her. Then…then what do we do?" Eric looked at her.
Natalia looked down at the floor while a smile appeared on her face.
"What?" Her smile always made him smile and now was no exception.
"Nothing. It's nothing." She shook her head.
"It's something. What?"
"It uh, It's just nice that you…you said we." She smiled again.
"It takes two to tango." Eric looked at her. "Look, I'd go with you, but this case..."
"No, It's fine." She started to walk away.
"Call me as soon as you know anything." Eric called after her.
"Pregnant." Natalia Boa Vista muttered under her breath as she left her doctor. Dr. Caveglia had given her the test results along with a big hug and a couple pamphlets on pregnancy. She took out her phone to call Eric Delko only to discover that it had died on her while she was in the office.
Driving the short distance back to the lab, she parked her car and got into the elevator. She sighed and got out when it stopped, only to see Eric right down the hall. Damn. She had been hoping for a little time to think before she saw him.
"Talia." Eric called. Natalia looked up at him. He walked over to her. "I thought you were going to call as soon as you knew anything."
Natalia held up her phone. "Battery's dead."
"Well?"
She bit her lip before responding. "Pregnant. 200 positive that it's right. I even had her check twice to make sure."
"Pregnant." Eric repeated. "Is this good?"
Natalia shrugged. "I think so."
"Ok then. It's good." Eric smiled at her. "Who else knows?"
"You and my sister. She was at the doctor. Complete coincidence." Natalia looked at him.
"Eventually, the whole lab is going to know. You know that right?" Eric said, slowly.
She nodded. "Yeah. I just…Let's just wait a day. Let it sink in a bit." She looked for his reaction.
"Ok. But let me take you out to dinner tonight." He said.
"Sure." She nodded. "I've got to get back to work. You probably do to." He nodded and she turned halfway around before being pulled into his arms.
"Congratulations." He whispered in her ear.
"Right back at you." She said and left for the locker room to put her stuff away.
Eric walked into the crime scene. Ryan Wolfe was crouched down at the wall with a cotton swab.
"What do we got?" Eric asked Ryan.
"What's up with you?" Ryan asked.
"What do you mean?"
"You're smiling."
"I'm smiling?" Eric asked.
"Yeah. It's bigger than a smile though."
"Nothing. I'm not allowed to smile anymore."
"Whoa. Chill. I was just asking."
"Ok. Now tell me what's here." Eric said, exasperated.
"Woman beaten to death. Name's Sophia Marietta." Detective Francis "Frank" Tripp said, looking at her body.
"Poor baby. You didn't deserve to die this way." Alexx Woods pushed a strand of hair away form her victim's forehead. "All right. I'm going to load her into the van and head back to the lab."
"Ok Alexx." Ryan said.
Back at the lab, Natalia was in the DNA lab, testing some samples. A brunette walked into the room.
"Hey Natalia." Marisol Delko greeted one of her best friends.
"Marisol. Oh wow hi." Natalia hugged her friend. They had been roommates in college and Marisol had immediately become friends with Natalia and her friends.
"Is Horatio here?" Marisol asked.
"Nope. He's at a crime scene." Natalia shook her head.
"Oh. Do you want to come take a break and have some coffee in the break room while I wait?"
"Sure. Yeah, I can." Natalia closed up her work and accompanied her friend to the break room.
The two had poured themselves a cup of coffee when Ryan walked in.
"Hey Natalia. Marisol, right?" He said and looked at her. When she nodded the affirmative, he smiled. "What are you two up to?"
"Just talking." Marisol said. Ryan took an apple form the fruit bowl in the center of the table. "So, what's the latest case about?"
"A woman was beaten to death. We don't know by who or what, but we know for sure that she was beaten." Ryan looked at them. "What's wrong Natalia?"
She had visibly paled in front of his eyes. She went from her usual tan skin to a white so pale that she almost looked like a ghost.
"You don't think……"Marisol began.
"But what…" Natalia said.
"Maybe……" Marisol interrupted.
"What are you talking about?" Ryan asked.
"Who us?" Natalia asked, knowing she and Marisol were confusing Ryan with their gibberish about her past.
Marisol grinned. "We're just chatting."
Ryan shook his head and left the room, grumbling something that distinctly sounded like he was calling them crazy.
A/N3: There's the first part. I love reviews. Yes, Natalia and Marisol aren't really friends, but this story is completely alternate universe. There was no Calleigh or an actual Horatio part, but they will ahb-viously be in it later.
