Brave Enough

Twenty-Six

"Mmm. Are those cinnamon rolls?" Buck asks. James nods thinking of her latest cravings. "You know I kind of want something else. Something to last me the next two days at the station." James frowns but turns to face him.

"Oh? What did you have in mind?" She asks curiously. Buck walks her towards the table and lifts her up on to it. He slides the bottom of her night shirt up and tears the fabric of her panties away. "Buck, what are you doing?"

"Serving myself," he says licking his lips before kneeling in front of her. Buck kisses her inner thigh making her squirm. His hands grip both legs as he moves up her thigh until he's kissed her center. She moans as he licks her wet slit sliding two long fingers into her. Her eyes close and her fingers grip his hair. It's not long before she comes with his tongue pressing into her. Buck looks deep into her now open eyes as he leans in and kisses her.

James slides off of the table and onto her knees in front of him rubbing him through his tightened jeans. "James I have to drop Cleo off early. I'm sorry. We got new developments in the case. They're sending me to Vegas," Marcus calls out opening the front door to the apartment. James sighs and gives Buck an apologetic look.

"I'll make it up to you tonight baby. I'm sorry," James says pulling her shirt back down in enough time before Marcus walks into the kitchen. Buck takes a bite out of a cinnamon roll and winks at her.

"Is that cinnamon rolls?" Marcus asks and James nods.

"Buck can you keep an eye on Cleo while I get dressed?"

"Go ahead. Cleo and I have some business to take care of. Don't we kiddo?" Cleo nods laughing.

Once she's out of earshot and Marcus has left Buck kneels down and opens a small jewelry box. "Cleo do you think James will like it?" Cleo nods.

"Ooh sparkly. James will love pretty sparkles," Cleo jumps up and down.

       "Buck I can't even begin to tell you how proud I am of the man you've become. We all are. Athena?" Bobby says.

      "I remember when we met. You almost denied a patient out of protectiveness for your own patient. Reckless but Brave. Now you're brave, kind, and more mature. Those girls are lucky to have you. We all are lucky to have you in our lives."

       "Now lets have a look. We want to see it before she gets it," Hen says.

"I'm going to tell him tonight. I'm so nervous. It's been two months since I found out and we've been living together for about a month. What if this messes everything up? Mase am I making a mistake?"

Maisie's bright green eyes light up with excitement. "Omg yay!" She squeals. " I think you're doing the right thing. How are you going to tell him?"

       "Um well I bought a miniature firefighter uniform onesie. I had it custom designed with Buckley on the back. And then I'm going to put my most recent sonogram wrapped up in it," James says.

       "Oh my god James that's fucking adorable. He's going love it and the baby. Good luck tonight! I've got to go the pole awaits," Maisie says. "Oh and Rave says hi."

        "Talk to you later." There is a knock at the door. James stands up and starts walking to the door. She rubs her stomach. "I'm gonna tell daddy tonight okay? I promise. We are going to love you so much."

       "Billie!" Colin shouts. The blood in her veins turns into ice.

        "No.." she quietly whispers.
