"Well, I think that takes care of just about everything," Lee told Amanda as he looked around the apartment one last time. "Makes me appreciate apartments that come fully furnished. I'm glad I don't have to move much furniture."

They had gone back to the apartment Friday night after dropping the boys off at Joe's and, truth be told, hadn't gotten anything packed. The events of the day had pretty much worn both of them out. Mentally and physically they were dead tired. They had gotten to the apartment, intent on packing a few things up, but made the mistake of sitting down in front of the TV to unwind first. When Lee awoke at two in the morning, Amanda fast asleep in his arms, he realized they must have both fallen asleep on the couch. Knowing they wouldn't get anything done that night, he gently prodded her awake and led her sleepily off to bed.

They woke up early and had a leasurely breakfast and, by early afternoon, had managed to get almost everything ready to move.

"Lee, have you thought about my code name?" Amanda asked her husband.

"Well, I've been mulling things over in my mind while I've been packing. I have a few ideas, but I don't know if you'll like them."

  "What are they? I mean they can't be the bad," Amanda said.   

"Well, really there's only one. It was a little tough because everything I thought of at first was related to the "Wizard of Oz", but I think I found something that describes you perfectly. You're brilliant, smart, use common sense, and you've gotten us out of some pretty tight situations."

"Well, what is it?" Amanda said. "Don't keep me in suspense."    

"Sherlock."

"Sherlock?" Amanda said with a questioning look in her eyes. " As in Sherlock Holmes? As is in elementary my dear Watson? That Sherlock?"

"Yeah, it's perfect for you, Amanda. You're smart. You've got more common sense than anyone I know and again you get us out of some pretty bad places," Lee insisted.

"I don't know, Lee. I mean he was one of the greatest literary sleuths of all time. I don't know if I can live up to the name."

"Oh yes you can, Amanda Stetson. Do you realize half of the cases we've solved have been solved because of your level headedness and your logic? You don't know how many times you've gotten me to rethink things and see it your way. Sherlock Holmes solved his cases by using logic and knowledge - just like you."

After thinking a minute Amanda said, with a laugh, "So I suppose that's that makes you Watson then. Hmm Sherlock and Scarecrow? You know I kind of like that. Has a nice ring to it don't you think?"     

"What do mean Sherlock and Scarecrow? Shouldn't it be Scarecrow and Sherlock?" Lee asked, teasing Amanda, "I mean after all I am the senior agent and..." Lee was hit squarely in the chest by a flying pillow. "Hey! Oh, so that's how you want to play? Well, you just wait, Amanda Stetson! I know where your you're ticklish!" Lee said as he lunged for Amanda and caught her around the waist and began to tickle her.

  "OK, OK, you win, Lee, stop," Amanda said through her laughter. "Scarecrow and Sherlock"

"That's better. I tell you these new recruits think they can just waltz in here and be top banana," Lee said with a shake of his head and a smile on his lips.

"Just watch it, Scarecrow. You have to live with this freshman agent," Amanda said as she poked him in the ribs.

"I can't think of anything I'd rather do than live with the freshman agent I'm looking at," Lee said as he kissed Amanda on the lips.    

"Oh I can, Scarecrow. I can think of lots of other things I'd rather do than have this conversation right now," Amanda said as she kissed her husband passionately and led him into their bedroom.

================//===============

     The next day was just as busy for Amanda and Lee. They were able to get all of Lee's stuff into the Wagoneer and the Corvette but it had taken some pretty clever packing on both their parts.

Miraculously they'd only had to make two trips from his place to hers. Amanda knew her mother and the boys would be back that night and she wanted to have a special dinner to enjoy with her husband in the home they now shared. They were finally a "real" married couple living together, working together, sharing life together. She had sent Lee out to run a couple of errands for her while she got dinner ready.    

They also had something else to celebrate. She had been looking for the perfect time to tell him a secret of her own and she couldn't think of a better moment than right now.    

"Amanda?" Lee said as shut the front door behind him. " What smells so good?"

    "Dinner," Amanda answered simply. "I thought a nice romantic candlelight dinner for two was in order. We've got a lot to celebrate."    

"We sure do. We're finally husband and wife in the eyes of everyone and we can finally live under one roof as a family," Lee said with a smile.

"Yes, that's true but that's not all, Lee," Amanda said with a smile.

"What else is there?" Lee asked his wife.       "Well, sweetheart in about seven months we're going to have a lot more to celebrate," Amanda told Lee.           

Realization hit Lee like a ton of bricks. "How? I mean are you sure? Have you seen the doctor?" Lee stammered     

"Lee, calm down," Amanda said with a chuckle. It wasn't often she could fluster Lee. And Lee was definitely flustered right now.

"How do you feel? Shouldn't you be sitting down?" Lee rambled on.

Amanda very calmly went over to where Lee was and put her hand over his month silencing him.

"Lee, slow down. I'm only pregnant. Yes, I'm sure BECAUSE I did go to the doctor and no, I don't need to sit down. This is a natural thing. I've done it before," Amanda said softly as if to reassure her husband that she and their new family were just fine. "You are OK with this, right? I mean I know we really hadn't talked about this but.." Amanda trailed off looking for approval in Lee's eyes.      

"OK with it? Amanda, I can't wait to have a child of our own. I love you!" Lee told his wife as he took her in his arms and kissed her tenderly.
