Charloft (Thursday) - Routine
Badge? Check. Gun? Check. Coffee? Check. Shoes? ... That's what she's missing. She always seems to forgot the most obvious of things, and today is no exception. Sneakers - her ankle's still a bit weak from the fall off of the coffee table.
The coffee table. God, she hates that thing sometimes. Bad to fall off of when drunk, bad to trip over when drunk, bad to find a positive pregnancy test on when sober. Sitting down on the couch, she exhales slowly, setting her coffee down and picking up the test, staring at it blankly.
A baby. An unexpected baby. But what seems to be a very welcomed baby. At least by Ben the night before. Alexis is still in a bit of shock over the whole thing, the dumbfounded expression on her face making it clear. "A baby," she mutters, her eyes glued to the word 'pregnant' on the screen.
Leaning her head back, she exhales slowly, still trying to get a grip on the fact. It wasn't that she was upset over it. Far from it. She was - is - excited. But the fact remains - the timing isn't the most desirable.
"We'll figure it out," his arms snake around her waist as he places a kiss on her temple. His calm seems to make her even more nervous, but he's right - they will figure it out. "Thought you were leaving ten minutes ago," he states.
She stands, grabbing her coffee. "I was," she replies with a nod. "I am..." she amends, shaking her head as if to clear it. Her mind is all over the place. Leaning over, she kisses him. "I'll make a doctors appointment and call you later," she promises, straightening and heading for the door.
Ben snickers as he watches her, waiting until she opens the door before catching her attention. "Uh, Lex?" he says, breaking out into full-fledged laughter. He nods down to her sock-clad feet. "Shoes...?"
