Thank God it’s Friday, Sam thought. He and Bo were at the table, having their early morning moments before Indie and Kenzie got up. Sam knew they weren’t going to last a lot longer this way, because Bo was getting tired of having to sit in the bouncy seat on the table, and he’d pretty well outgrown it, anyway.

“Maybe next time,” Sam said, “we’ll do this in the living room. That way, you can be in your playpen and not stuck in one spot. Is that a good idea? Yeah? You think that’s a good idea?”

“What’s a good idea?” Kenzie asked as she entered the kitchen.

“Bo thinks it would be a good idea if he and I start having our coffee time in the living room. He’s about had it with the bouncy chair on the table.”

“Yeah, that’s a good idea,” Kenzie said.

“What’s a good idea?” Indie asked.

“Daddy and Bo having coffee in the living room,” Kenzie said.

Indie looked at Sam. “Having coffee?” she asked. “Sam…”

Sam held up a hand in self-defense. “Don’t worry,” he said, “it’s like I always say, his coffee comes in a bottle and tastes a lot like milk. He’s not quite ready for my kind of coffee yet.”

“And he won’t be, not for another fifteen years or so.” She gave him “the look” that meant he’d better not try to argue, so Sam only smiled and nodded.

“Yes, dear,” he said. “Anyway, he’s outgrown his little bouncy chair, so I told him we’ll start doing this in the living room in the mornings, so he can be in his playpen.”

Indie grinned sleepily. “Yeah, that probably is a good idea. I’m going to give the bouncy seat and a lot of his baby clothes to Nadia, anyway. She’s only known she’s pregnant for a week, but she’s convinced it’s going to be a boy.”

Sam looked up at her. “Nadia? From my office?”

“Yep. Eileen called me on Monday, she’s putting together a baby shower. I’m surprised you hadn’t heard about it, I think everybody else up there knows.”

“Well, most of the women hang out together up there,” Sam said, “especially in the break room. They put a couple of tables together so they have a big one over in the corner, and they make it pretty clear that men are not allowed.”

“I think that’s because most of the men up there are a bit intimidating,” Indie said. “I don’t think you should take it personally.”

Sam rolled his eyes. “Oh, trust me, I don’t.”

Indie walked up behind him and put her arms around his neck, then kissed him on the cheek. “That’s my good boy,” she said. She let go and went to the refrigerator, and it wasn’t long before Sam could smell bacon starting to sizzle.

His phone rang, and he picked it up to see that it was Karen Parks calling. “Hey,” he said as he answered. “Anything new?”

“Actually, I have something good to report, for once. We ran the fingerprints of the dead shooter and the woman we captured yesterday through AFIS and got a hit.
