“What?”

“Carmen that lady of yours is something alright…”

“Should I be nervous Miriam?”

“Well honey if I didn’t love my Johnny so, maybe…where on earth did you meet her…?”

“Well it was on the Havoc case….she was sorta my way in.”

“And …….?”

“And well it was intense between us, she was a criminal, I was an agent. I didn’t know how she would react if she found out. The Shane you see now, she is not the Shane I met last year. The Shane I met was a complete maniac. She had a lot of demons. And know I don’t know I guess she is happy now.”

“Honey she is madly in love with you. It’s written all over her…so you can tell me John’s all the way over there is she an handful in the bedroom?”

“Oh my god….it’s the most intense sex a person can have….she is….. Whew…hot…”

“So she’s ok with the baby thing?”

“Yeah…Shane doesn’t lie, she can’t. She told me she wants to help in any way she can….so I believe her.”

“Carmen honey you keep this one…she is a wonderful girl for you. You deserve her. After all that happened with Helena. You are both gonna be great parents. Look John and I are going out for dinner tonight we will be back before midnight…have fun…go for a swim…..”

So Mills and Miriam went out for dinner. Mills acting like a dad, leaving the number for the restaurant and everything. The shotgun was near the couch just incase we had a visit from shithead. We ate in silence. Shane grilled some veggies and chicken. It was good. I just stared at her. And she seemed nervous. Like she knew I was up to something. I cleared the table and we went out to watch some TV. Shane flipped around jumping from channel to channel. We haven’t said a word since dinner. The air was thick with our desire.

I ran my fingers along her arm. She tensed up.

“Come on Carmen, John and Miriam will be home soon. We really shouldn’t…”

I ran my fingers in her hair.
