"We didn't plan on it just yet, but we weren't hiding it" Taraji said

"Ok" Fatima said plainly

"Tima, don't be like that" Brandee said

"I'm not doing anything. I'm only coming in here to make a coffee and leave."

"Fatima, really?" Taraji asked

"Yes. Y'all both call me and tell me everything except this. I'm happy for y'all, but damn, y'all could've said something."

"What were we supposed to say? Hey, I'm fucking Taraji and we're together?" Brandee asked

Fatima put the top on her coffee. "Nope. Never mind."

Zac walked into the coffee room. Everybody looked at him.

"What y'all looking at me like that for?" Zac asked

"Nothing" Taraji said

"I see y'all two though" Zac said

"You knew?" Fatima asked

"Yeah. They both told me"

Fatima just stood there, "okay"

"Y'all didn't tell her?"

"No"

"That ain't right. Y'all both be telling her everything and she be keeping y'all little secrets away from me."

"I'm sorry Fatima" Taraji said, "I could've told you when you just asked me."

"Okay" Fatima went to sit down in a chair.

"Y'all really made her mad. If I don't get none tonight, I'm whooping y'all ass" Zac said, "y'all about to make her cry."

"I'm not going to cry." Fatima said

Brandee and Taraji came over there and hugged Fatima.

"You know we love you and we're not letting you go until you say it back and stop being mad." Brandee said

"I'm not mad. I love you guys. I want y'all to be happy." Fatima said

Denzel walked in, "what we hugging for? She's having my grandchild? I want to hug too."

Fatima started laughing. "You have to let the damn grandchild thing go. Acting like Gladys and Samuel now."

"Exactly" Zac said

"I need my grandchild. This case is stressing me out." Denzel said

"What does the case have to do with a grandchild?" Fatima asked

"If I had a grandchild, I'd be so focused on the baby. I would be less stressed with the case because I wouldn't even be working it. I'd be paying attention to the baby."

"Awww" Brandee said

"Umm B, you can still have a baby too. Taraji when you popping the baby out?"

"Wait a got damn minute. You knew before me? That's really fucked up man."

"Maybe if you had my grandchild, you would've known faster. I heard that women are smarter when they are pregnant."

"I'm already smart. I've solved half of y'all case already." Fatima said

"Wait..how?" Denzel asked

Fatima told him everything.

"You're just scared. He isn't a suspect" Denzel said, "it's just a shock"

"That's what I said." Zac said

"Are y'all trying to call every woman in here crazy?" Fatima asked

"No. I'm just saying" Denzel said

"Okay bet"

Denzel's phone rang. He got word that another body was just found.

"Shit. Another body." Denzel said

Everybody was ready to go.

"Where's detective cross?" Taraji asked

"I have no clue." Sergeant Grant said

Cross just pulled up and they informed him what was going on. Denzel and Zac was talking and Fatima pointed out Cross' shoes.

She whispered in their ear, "he has blood on his shoe"

They both looked down and realized that he was right. Fatima acted like she dropped something by him and swabbed his shoe.

She walked back over to them, "if this blood matches this victim, we know who it is. Y'all both owe me apologies. I want a different apology from Zac "

"That apology better involve my grandchild." Denzel said

"It might" Zac said

They went to the crime scene. Fatima gave the blood sample that she took and they would rush the DNA match.

"White paper, ID, and a bear."

"Can you swab under her finger nails?" Zac asked

"Yes, it's already sent."

*2 hours later*

They did their documents and had everything set out.

The DNA was rushed and the results should be sent over in the next 5 minutes. Fatima went to go talk to Sergeant Grant.

"I need to talk to you for a second" Fatima said

"What's going on?"

Fatima told her everything, including the swabbing of his shoe.

"I can't arrest him without your say so because you can let him go." Fatima said

Sergeant Grant remained quiet. Fatima walked out of the office because the silence was frustrating her.

Sergeant Grant came downstairs inside of the conference room.

"Fatima" Sergeant Grant said

"Nope." Fatima said

"Bring your ass over here. Damn." Sergeant Grant said

"Who the hell you talking to like that?" Fatima asked

Sergeant grant threw the cuffs in her hand, " go get your suspect. You were right"

Fatima smiled. She arrested Cross and mirandized him.

They took him into the place where they kept all prisoners.

Fatima came back in.

"Now, we just have to find the other person because I guarantee you that it's two of them."

"I'm proud of you Fatima" Grant said

"Thank you Serge. I guess we can be cool or whatever" Fatima said

"Finally!" Sergeant Grant said

*3 hours later*

Fatima and Zac were at home. She just got out of the shower.

"What do you want for your birthday?" Zac asked, "I'm still going to get you what I want to get you, but I want to know."

"A baby." Fatima said
