Summary: One night can change your life forever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A small voice laughed at his thoughts. You? Woo her? Goren, I don't know if you've looked in the mirror lately. Dean Porter is everything you're not. He's fit, young-looking... His eyes moved down to his gut. Shame and humiliation heated his face. She wouldn't want to touch him with a fifty foot pole. Suddenly, he recalled what he told Judge “Hot Tub Harry” Garrett. That he wanted to prove that he was more than the sum of his infirmities.

A/N: Thanks SO much to my beta, Sara. You're amazing and you give me so much support. Thanks also to Lauren for giving me lots of support and feedback. :] This story is a birthday present for my friend, Larissa. Happy birthday, girl! Also, please keep in mind this is set directly after 7x01, Amends. After that, it goes AU. I might interweave some more of the show's timeline with my own. This is my first casefile type fic, so I'm hoping it's not too bad.

A/N: I know that you all are wondering about Alex's pregnancy, so here is a flashback.
A/N2: I've received several reviews about Eames being out of character in the last chapter. I do appreciate that there are those of you astute enough to recognize an imposter when you see one. However, I promise you that it all serves a purpose and the real Alexandra Eames will make her reappearance. I promise it's all explained in this chapter.
A/N3: That being said, there are parts of this chapter where I use my own discretion and imagination as to certain things pertaining to Eames' past.

A/N: Sorry it took so long for Ch. 17, but I was on vacation for two weeks and then I started a new job the day after I got back plus a whole slew of other crap came spilling out after that. And I'm moving... Joy o' joys. Thank you, Sara, for taking time out of your busy schedule to check this for me. I 3 you muchly.
A/N2: Rated M. Please don't kill me you guys... seriously. For those who wish to skip the M rating (which is later on down the page) I will leave you a summary in the next chapter.

A/N: For those of you who I didn't lose in the last chapter, thank you. :] I promise to make your suffering well paid for.
For those of you who chose to skip that chapter, a brief summary: Alex slept with Peter (everyone came after me with pitchforks and torches). Alex and Liz have a little chatzy about Peter and Bobby and the truth comes out (like everyone doesn't already know...) that she looooves Bobby. And now we come to the morning after.
