Dreamed Happiness

Beth stoker could not help but look at all the surroundings on the way to her husbands work. She never thought everything could look so beautiful. Her thoughts ran back to her previous doctor's appointment. The doctor gave Beth the greatest news ever. "Your pregnant" The Doctor smiled.

When Beth came back to reality she realized she was already at her husbands work. Beth slowly walked into the station. Beth looked and saw that the engine was gone. Roy looked up when he heard footsteps from the bay. "Hey Beth, The engine got called out on a run a few minutes before you got here, but it got cancelled so they should be on there way back" Roy greeted there visitor. "Great! thanks Roy" Beth said excitedly.

Before Roy could ask what all the excitement was about the engine pulled in. Upon seeing his wife, Mike hurriedly parked the engine and greeted his wife with a hug and a kiss. "Hey babe, What are you doing here?" Mike asked as he guided her into the bunk room for privacy. Beth looked at her husband and silently began to think about how great of a father Mike would be.

Mike became a little worried when Beth did not answer right away. "Honey?" Mike questioned. Beth couldn't help but to smile at her husband's anxious appearance. "Mike, your going to be a father!" Mike was speechless. "What?" Mike paled slightly. "Babe, I'm pregnant!" Beth answered her smile glowing as bright as the sun on a sunny day. Mike finally started to realize what Beth was saying. He stood up and grinned ear to ear. "I'm going to be a dad!" He repeated.

Mike looked at his wife and opened his arms wide. Beth flung herself into his loving, strong and protective arms. Beth cried tears of joy. Mike tried to hide his emotions but did not succeed. Somehow Beth was able to understand and told him "Even big strong fireman have emotion's and tears" Mike nodded and felt tears go down his face.

Captain Hank Stanley who was closer to the dorm room heard the soft sobs of some one crying. Hank silently walked into the dorm. He saw Beth and Mike holding each other while crying. "What's wrong?" Hank asked.

Mike looked up in surprise, he quickly wiped tears from his face. "Oh, nothing cap. Beth just gave me the best news ever!" Hank gave mike a perplexed look. "Then why were you crying?" Hank was totally confused. "Cap, I'm going to be a father! Beth received the news this morning." Mike said with huge smile on his face. "Now, I see why your crying" Hank grinned.

Hank looked at the new couple and smiled. "Mike, why don't I see if I can call you in a replacement" Mike looked at his captain and smiled. "Thanks' cap! That would be great!" Hank nodded. "Oh, you might as well tell the rest of the guy's while I call headquarters"

The couple walked into the kitchen, were the rest of the crew were enjoying a cup of coffee. "Well, guy's I have some amazing news to tell you" Mike began. The guy's immediately looked up in interest. "Go on" Chet urged. "Well, I'm going to be a father!" Everyone smiled. "For real?" Johnny asked in shock. Mike couldn't help but grin.. "Yes, I received the news this morning" Beth answered.

Roy looked up and smiled. "That's what all your excitement was all about today in the bay" Beth nodded. Roy spoke up again. "Welcome to the father club, mike!" Marco looked at mike and Beth and smiled. Congratulations.

While everyone celebrated in the kitchen, Marco quietly excused himself. Beth looked to her husband. "Be right back" She whispered. She walked into the dorm and saw Marco laying on his bunk. Beth walked over to the bed. "what's wrong?" She gently asked. Marco sat up at her question and faced her. His eyes brimmed red with tears. "My girlfriend jasmine can't have kid's... I always wanted to be a father. Roy loves talking about his kids. I can't help but want to be a dad. I really love jasmine. I want to marry her but how will we be a complete family? We both want a child"

Beth saw the tear's in his eyes once again.

"Marco, how much do you love jasmine?"

"A lot, she's my whole world"

"Would you do anything for her?"

"Of course"

"Then, even if you can't have a child doesn't mean you won't be complete. There's always other options, like adopting"

"

Your right"

"Marco, I know it won't be the same as having your own child, One thing is it'll always be yours. It might be a little different but that wont make a difference"

Marco nodded as tear's silently fell.

"Will you be ok?"

"Ya, I just need to gather myself up a bit, uh, Beth thanks"

"Your welcome"

Beth headed back to the kitchen. "There's the mother" Johnny replied with a smile. Beth grinned but couldn't quite get Marco and his girlfriend of her mind. Captain Stanley walked into the kitchen. "Hey mike, Head quarters could not get a replacement, sorry pal" Mike lost his smile. "It's alright" Beth looked to her husband and squeezed his hand. "Thanks anyways hank, Mike, honey I'll see you later be safe" Mike nodded and gave his wife a kiss. He watched as she drove away.

As soon as Beth left the tones went off. "ugh!" Mike groaned. "Station 51 structure fire, 2228 Walberg street across from Lincoln time out 3:19" 'You got to be kidding me, a structure fire!" Mike thought incredulously. Hank looked at his engineer. Sympathy was written all over his face. Mike nodded as if to say ok.
