In reply to: Shay 's message, "inside" on 22:13:50 10/09/06 Mon

(The muscle in his jaw ticked at her words and he tipped his head a little, as though he wasn't sure if he liked having her looking at him. Ever since the bombing he had been under scrutiny.. from his government boss, from those who would see his agency destroyed, from the people who looked to him in times of crisis.. and he didn't like thinking about all the lives that depended on him. There were times when he got himself thinking about all those people and it made it damn near impossible to function clearly. In fact, that was sort of where he was at the moment, thinking much too deeply for a man who needed to rest. There were just too many things that required attention.. too many pieces of the puzzle that had to be fit back into place and the not-so-small task of figuring out who had tried to kill him. He couldn't help but think that he should have died in place of those thirty seven civilians.. and yet.. he couldn't fathom leaving Shay behind.. or Chase.. or - ) You're pregnant? (He repeated in a slightly questioning tone, as though he had snagged the words out of midair and weren't sure to trust his ears correctly. Suddenly his clouded mind was crystal clear and his heart was racing inside him. The shit of it was that the thirty pounds of metal hooked to his leg made it impossible to turn to her.. which he wanted to, desperately.. and it reminded him that he was a damned invalid. The emotions swirled around in him until he made a sound in his chest.) Will you come over here so I can kiss you, please? (He said in a sort of whispery tone that said he was trying to keep it together.)
