No warnings that I can think of!

This AU is set after everyone graduates Penderghast, and Beckett and Oriana were never friends. Fate, however, may have a different plan for them.

With Oriana safe in his arms, Beckett was finally able to get several hours of solid sleep. He’d stayed overnight in the hotel with her, rather than just taking her home. He wasn’t leaving without both Oriana and her things in tow behind him. In fact, he never wanted to let her out of his sight again, though he knew this was impossible. They made love as soon as they woke up, and then Beckett had an idea. It was early, 6am when his alarm went off. Despite all the lack of sleep he’d encountered the past week, he was already wide awake.

“I have an idea.” He murmured, pressing his lips against hers.

Oriana stirred, peeking one eye open, then breaking into a huge smile. “I’m so glad last night wasn’t a dream.”

He brushed a strand of hair out of her face. “You’re always my dream.”

She chuckled lightly. “I missed your corny lines.”

“I missed everything about you…and there’s something I want to run by you.” He said again. “I do need to go to work, or my friends will probably send the police to my house to make sure I’m alive. They’ve been very worried about me, and I’m afraid I ignored them all weekend.”

“Why?” Oriana asked sleepily.

“I didn’t see your ring until last night, or I would have been here a whole lot sooner. I ignored their calls and texts all weekend. I know they’re worried.”

“They must hate me.” She said quietly.

“I already told them they will have no choice but to forgive you when I got you back.” He shrugged. “It’ll be fine. However…I don’t exactly want to leave here without you or your belongings. It’s early enough we can bring everything home right now. I’m sure given the circumstances, I can take a half day. And I want us to go somewhere.”

He smiled as he filled her in on what he was thinking, seeing her glow with his suggestion. Soon enough, they were on their way home.

When they arrived, she immediately put a suitcase in the spare bedroom. He shook his head, grabbing it and bringing it to his own. “This is our bedroom, Ori. Your things do not belong in the spare room anymore. There’s room for everything.”

Oriana furrowed her eyebrows. “But there will be more room if we utilize the spare bedroom.”

“Trust me, it will be very well used…if you want to continue living here that is. We can also look for a different house if you want. We should probably decide that very quickly, because if we stay here, I’m going to begin turning that room into a nursery.”

Oriana’s hands flew to her stomach and she looked at him, completely stunned. “Really?”

“Most certainly. We have to pick out colors for the walls, what crib and other furniture we want, maybe redo the flooring. There’s so many possibilities!” He said excitedly, already thinking about what to buy. “Are you going to want to find out if it’s a boy or girl? I really want to find out, but I’ll go along with whatever you choose. And also, how should we tell everyone?”

She blinked, her mouth still hanging open. “U-Um��it’s probably too soon to tell the sex…”

“How are feeling about it, today? Are you feeling any better?” He asked lightly, feeling her nervousness returning.

“Well…I don’t want to make assumptions before actually seeing the doctor.”

Beckett nodded. “Okay. We won’t tell anyone yet.”

“If there’s even something to tell.”

He wrapped his arms around her. “There’s definitely something to tell, but I’ll humor you.”

“Gee, thanks.” She laughed, before going quiet again.

“You’re wonderful, Ori, and I love you.”

“I love you too.” She smiled weakly. “I’ll call my doctor when they open this morning.”

He debated on continuing the conversation, but it was clear she didn’t want to talk anymore on this topic until later.

“Come on, let’s get changed.” He suggested.

“You really want me to hang out in your office today? People won’t think it’s weird?”

“They might. I’m not sure. But I don’t care, do you?”

“I suppose not.”

“Then let’s go.” He gave her a warm smile, and she returned it with even more warmth.

They strolled into his office at exactly 8am. Walking towards his office, they stopped at Dave’s first.

“Hey.” Beckett said hesitantly.

Dave looked up from his desk, his eyes widening at the sight of Beckett with Oriana. “Oriana? Beckett…you found her?? I can’t believe you didn’t tell me! I’ve been worried sick about you, if you didn’t show up today, trust me, I would have pulled your address and knocked down your door.”

“I’m sorry. I uh…well, I didn’t find her until late last night. I didn’t know what to say before that.”

“And you decided not saying anything was a good tactic?? It didn’t occur to you that people worry about you? What happened to your grand plan of using special resources to find her Friday?” Dave stood up, striding to the door and pulling Beckett in for a hug. “I’m so relieved you’re okay. I need to call Melissa, she’s been so stressed out! Tom and Jessie are going to kill you too.”

He released Beckett and turned to Oriana. “I hope you apologized to him. I’ve never seen someone look so bad, he was destroyed!”

“She has nothing to apologize for.” Beckett said defiantly. “I told you she thought she was protecting me.”

“From what?” Dave asked incredulously.

“I’m so sorry I caused everyone so much hurt.” Oriana broke in. “Really, I’m so, so sorry. Please forgive me.”

“Where have you been this whole time?” Dave asked.

Oriana swallowed. “Well…I was living at the Aquarium for a week. Friday I went to a hotel. I figured you guys took Beck out for drinks, and I went and grabbed my things and car.”

Beckett looked at her in surprise as she hadn’t mentioned this to him yet. “You still work there? You didn’t tell me you needed to work today.” He paused a moment, confused. “But I called and was told…”

“I know. I’m sorry. I had them screening my calls.”

“So, you got people to lie for you? He went home to an empty house Friday??” Dave exclaimed.

“I did.” Beckett said quietly. “Another reason I didn’t return your messages.”

“Unbelievable.” Dave muttered, throwing a glare at Oriana.

“Oh my god, Oriana??” Tom was suddenly in the room. “It’s so good to see you! Are you okay? We were all so worried!” Tom yanked her into a bear hug, which Oriana returned with surprise.

“I have to call Jessie, I told her I’d let her know ASAP if you showed today. I tried to get here on time but…”

“Did you make another bet?” Beckett asked, warily.

“Are you kidding? Why would we do that? All we want is for you to be safe and happy. No one was willing to bet anything, no one wanted to think the worst. We checked in with each other all weekend to see if you’d reached out to anyone. I’m so glad you’re back, Oriana, really.”

“You’re…staying, right? You’re not going to disappear again?” Dave questioned.

“Never.” She assured, glancing at Beckett. “We were actually wondering if you guys wanted to go somewhere on lunch with us? Your wives too, but I understand it’s last minute and they work…”

“I think we need more time than just a lunch break for that reunion.” Tom joked.

“About that, I’d like to take a half day. I’m sorry for the late notice.” Beckett requested.

Dave sighed heavily. “Like I would say no to that. Alright, fine, what were you thinking about for lunch?”

Beckett and Oriana grinned at each other, both completely thrilled at how their day was turning out, and extremely exciting for what’s to come in their future.

“Trust me, you’re going to love it.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Beckett worked, or at least tried to, Oriana made several calls. She made a doctor’s appointment, called Zeph and Shreya, and made arrangements for their “lunch hour.”

Beckett watched her with wonder, admiring how smoothly she handled everything, particularly her friends’ questions.

“We were really worried, Oriana, we’re your closest friends and you didn’t tell us anything! You can imagine our surprise when Beckett called us.”

“Beckett called you?” Oriana gasped, looking over at her fiancé, who smiled sheepishly, a blush rising on his cheeks.

“Yes. Ori, hold on to him, okay? As much as it pains us to admit it…the two of you are perfect for each other. And we appreciate him taking the time to look up our phone numbers.”

Oriana nodded, her eyes watering with affection. “Thank you, guys. I can’t wait til you get back, we have so much to catch up on.”

“Just a couple more weeks! Make room in your calendar!” Zeph said cheerily.

“We love you Ori! Call us later, okay? We want to hear everything!” Shreya chimed in.

“Love you guys. Talk later.”

Hanging up her phone, Oriana looked at Beckett. “I can’t believe you called them. Anyone else I should be aware of that you called?”

Beckett bit his lip. “Well, I…I called the hospitals, and police stations…”

She nodded, beginning to turn her head back to her phone.

“…And Chase.”

“You what?” She snapped her attention back to Beckett. “Why would you do that?”

“Because I made sure to cover everyone that you may have been in contact with. I’d hoped you weren’t with Chase, but you have gone back to him before, and…” He gulped. “I’m sorry. He was such a dick, I shouldn’t have bothered, but…”

“You actually looked up his phone number and called him to ask if he’d heard from me?”

“Yes.” He whispered.

In a flash she was pulling his chair out from his desk and sitting in his lap, wrapping her arms around him and kissing him fiercely. He moaned into it before tearing his lips away from her mouth and moving them to her collarbone and neck.

“Don’t get carried away yet.” She told him breathlessly. She pulled back and looked at him with admiration. “I can’t believe you put aside your own feelings and contacted him.”

“You told me not to use the locator spell.” He murmured. “So I did anything and everything else I could think of. Until you gave me no choice but to use the spell.”

“You’re amazing.”

Beckett tucked her hair behind her hair. “I want to be amazing for you, for our little family.”

Lost in each other’s eyes, they both visibly jumped as someone knocked on his door.

“Tick tock, we’re hungry. Where are we going, lovebirds?” Tom and Dave stood in the door of Beckett’s office. “The girls are going to meet us, so we need to tell them now so they can both leave and drive wherever. You're lucky they both love the two of you, they wouldn't do this for just anyone.”

Oriana grinned, standing up. “Here’s the address. We've never been, so hopefully it's good. Can’t wait to see you all there.”
