In the evening Brody and Carrie sat together in the kitchen eating diner. Actually it was only the rest she found in the fridge. They were running low on groceries. She would be able to make breakfast in the morning but then she would need to go to the city.

"I need to pick up some groceries tomorrow. Saul won't be back until the day after tomorrow. Do you think you will be fine on your own for an hour or two?" Carrie asked.

"Take me with you. I need to get out of here."

"Brody, you know I can't do that. Besides you're not fit enough for a trip to the city."

Brody was silent.

"I'm sorry." Carrie said.

"It's okay. Can I ask you something, Carrie?"

"Anything" Carrie was a bit nervous not knowing what he would ask her. There was still some kind of tension between them. She knew they were far away from being okay again.

"Where are we?" At least it wasn't an unpleasant question to answer.

"Brazil, some miles out of Boa Vista."

"How long are we staying?" Brody asked next.

"Honestly, I don't know. We need to sit down with Saul when he comes back day after tomorrow."

"Okay" Brody seemed unsatisfied by her answer but Carrie really didn't know. They needed to talk to Brody about the Langley bombing and Nazir. But this was not the right time for that conversation.

"Do you want more?" Carrie asked and pointed at his plate.

"No thanks. I think I want to lie down." Brody said stood up.

"Alright" Carrie stood up and started to clear the table. Brody was about to leave the room but then turned around.

"Carrie?"

Carrie turned around to him. "Yes?"

"Thank you." Then Brody left the room.

When Carrie tidied up the kitchen she let the day pass in front of her. Now she knew some of the things which were on Brody's mind. She had hurt him bad when she had left him. She hoped that he would ever be able to trust her again. At least he was talking to her by now. When he had said that he needed her, Carrie's heart had jumped. There was still something between them after all this time. It had felt good to be held by him. She didn't know if they would be together again but she was almost sure that he would be in her life, their lives. She petted her belly. Now that she had managed to talk to Brody in general, she would be able to talk to him about their baby someday soon. She made a grocery list for the next day and went to Brody's room. He was sleeping peacefully with the door open. Carrie smiled and went to bed herself. At least this night she would get some sleep.

When Carrie got up the next morning she could smell fresh coffee. She went over to the kitchen still being drowsy. She stopped at the door and looked at Brody preparing breakfast for the two of them. Carrie couldn't help but smile. Brody turned around and saw her.

"For how long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough" Carrie said with a smile and entered the room.

"Want some coffee?" To Carrie's surprise Brody smiled back at her.

"Yes please."

Brody filled a cup and handed it to her.

"Thanks." Carrie sat down at the table. "If you want anything in particular just put it on the list. I'm leaving after breakfast."

"Thank you."

Breakfast passed without much talking but it was fine by Carrie. She wasn't much of a morning person. She liked to drink her coffee in silence. Luckily Brody wanted to have breakfast silently as well. After breakfast she took a shower and checked in with Brody before leaving for grocery shopping. It was hard to leave him but she wouldn't be gone too long.

Carrie was back after an hour and a half. Brody helped her carry the bags inside. He seemed happy to see her.

"Thanks for helping me. But you shouldn't have. You still need to rest."

"I'm fine, but thanks." Brody said. "So what did you get?"

"Everything on the list and something special for you." Carrie answered with a smile.

"What is it?"

Carrie opened one of the bags and pulled out a jar of peanut butter.

"Where did you get that?" Brody asked excited.

"It's a secret." Carrie said mysteriously. "I remembered the morning at the cabin when you couldn't stop whining about not having peanut butter." She could see that Brody remembered as well but she could also see the pain in his eyes. He missed the time at the cabin when everything had been different and easy.

"Well, I thought it would brighten your mood up." Carrie broke the silence.

"It does." He touched her hand which lay on the counter.

"Brody, I need to talk to you." Carrie said and wished she could take it back the next second.

Brody was surprised.

"You better sit down." Carrie said and sat down as well.

"What is it? Is something wrong?" Brody asked wondering what was going on. Did their safe house has been compromised?

Carrie took a deep breath. There was no way out at this point. She could feel Brody's eyes on her although she kept her own eyes looking at the floor.

"I'm pregnant." Her heart was beating so fast she was frightened it would jump out of her body.

Brody said nothing. His eyes were still on Carrie.

"I'm 3 months pregnant, from our time at the lake." Carrie looked at Brody who still kept quiet. She couldn't believe it.

"I know it's complicated. More than it already was and I don't know what will happen in the future. I don't know what Saul's plan is. I don't even know what kind of life we will have. If we will be together or apart. But fact is that we created a life, Brody." Carrie said excitedly. She was surprised by her reaction but she really couldn't take Brody's silence on this topic.

"Are you done?" Brody asked.

Carrie shrugged.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Brody asked and looked at Carrie.

"When? When was I supposed to tell you? When you were ignoring me?" Carrie was still upset.

Brody wanted to yell at her. He hadn't exactly been on vacation after they had separated 3 months ago. He had expected to die and when he had first got here he hadn't really known what was going on. Yes, Brody hadn't been joyful when he saw Carrie again but he was allowed to feel a certain way. But this was not the time to get openly angry. Brody took a deep breath.

"I just wish you had told me sooner. I'm sorry." Brody tried to calm Carrie down.

Carrie remained silent.

"So, are you listening to me now?"

Carrie nodded faintly.

"I'm far away from knowing what my future will be and I can't promise you anything about the future we both may have. But I want to be in both your and the baby's life. Maybe that's the only reason why I'm still alive."

Carrie didn't know if she was supposed to cry or smile. She had not expected this reaction. She was touched. That's why she loved him.

"I'm sorry I gave you that speech." Carrie apologized.

"It's okay." Brody smiled and took her hand in his. "Don't worry. We will find a way. I'll be there for you."
