Author note:
Here is a warning, I have not read any of the books and I only watched the movie. I became obsessed with Stephanie Plum and ranger through fan fiction.

So if I make any mistakes about the characters please forgive and be so kind and tell me so I can change it.

Also I do not have a Beta, so spelling and grammar mistakes are my own as well as WORDS fault!

Enjoy!

I stared at the stick in my hand. Two pink lines...I couldn't believe it. Dropping the stick next to the sink I ran to the toilet and emptied my lunch. Why they called it Morning sickness was beyond me.

My name is Stephanie Plum and I live in Trenton. I used to be a bounty hunter now I live with and work for my boyfriend's company Rangemen. Ricardo Carlos Manoso also known as Ranger is said person and currently in the Wind.

I have been sick and Ella, Rangers Housekeeper, suggested I'd take a pregnancy test. I had first laughed at her, but then I counted the days and panicked.

Ranger and I have been together for a little over a year now.

Two years ago I had finally gotten my head out of the Sand. After yet another dangerous encounter with one of my FTA's, I went to Point Pleasant for a week for some R&R. By the time my little holiday was over I decided I couldn't keep going like this. I had enough of crazy skips, my mom pushing me to marry Joe and Joe wanting me to give up my job.

I also realized that I loved him, but wasn't in love with him. So as I got back to town I broke it off with Joe. We got to the agreement that we weren't meant to be together forever, but we would stay friends. These days Joe is married to a pre-school teacher named Elaine. I have met her and she is the perfect fit for Joe.

After that I had gotten training. The merry men offered to train me, but I didn't want Ranger bleeding more of his money, so I got help, from a friend of Joe's, Eric, who is an Ex-Cop and lives in Newark. Nowadays I carry a gun around with me and it's even loaded.

I also quit my job at Vinnie's and started to work for Rangemen part-time. Rodriguez kept my inbox always full of searches. This one time I had just finished 15 searches and went to lunch, as I came back I had another 15 waiting for me. I screamed as I saw it which caused every one of the Rangemen to draw their weapons and look for the threat.

Tank came storming out of his Office, gun also drawn and looked at me questionly by raising an eyebrow (no, the men still haven't learned to speak more than a few words at a time and still haven't found their phone manners) so I told him I would kill Rodriguez once I found out behind which secret door way he was hiding. Tank just laughed and took me to him to introduce me.

I didn't tell Ranger immediately how I felt, because a) he was in the wind and b) I didn't want him to think he was just the re-bound. Plus there was always the little chance that he would reject me. It took me a while to own up to my feelings, but in the end I got my man. I smiled at that thought.

I stood up and brushed my teeth. I am pregnant with a mini-ranger...Oh boy!

I had never seen myself as one to have kids. Especially since I could barely take care of myself and my hamster Rex. But lately I caught myself thinking about what it would be like to have a child with Ranger. I see how he interacts with Julie or my nieces and it makes me love him even more. I meant common ladies; your knees would give in as well, if you'd see a Cuban sex god holding a small child.

We haven't even discussed kids or marriage. We were just happy to live for the moment. Now panic started to rise within me, What if he didn't want another child? It had all ready been a mission to get him to see that I didn't care about how crazy his live is and that I would put up with him going into the Wind. He had been determined that he was meant to be alone. That he wasn't relationship material.

It took Tank to point out that Ranger and I were all ready in a relationship, without having the benefits of said relationship, that Ranger re-evaluated his statements. He said he wouldn't make any promises that he would ever settle down, or that we would ever have a normal relationship.

I didn't care, I would get to be with the love of my life in whatever way he would have me. Thankfully he still hadn't changed his mind. I moved into his Apartment on seven just before he got called out.

I moved to the kitchen where Ella was just setting out tea and biscuits.

"Ella you are an Angel, Are you sure you won't adopt me?" I said drawing her in a hug.

Ella just laughed. "How are you feeling? Did you take the test?" With that my mind jumped into over drive again. What was I going to do?

I nodded at her and sat down at the Breakfast bar to eat the biscuits. "I did. It's positive."

"Oh Stephanie that is great. Congratulations" She said sitting down beside me. Tears sprang into my eyes and I couldn't keep them from rolling down my face. Ella drew me into another hug and just let me sob.

Damn Hormones, messing with my emotions. I hope I won't be such a mess all the time until the baby is born.

I withdrew out of the hug as I finally calmed down and grabbed a tissue to blow my nose.

"What is wrong Stephanie? Do you want me to call Bobby?" Ella was like a mother to her, basically to all Rangemen, constantly worried about her "children".

"No don't get Bobby just yet. I just don't know what Ranger is going to think." Hello Tears welcome back! "We haven't even talked about this. You know how long it took for him to agree to be in a relationship. He is going to blow his top. I don't want him to take care of me or be with me out of obligation to me or the baby."

"He is going to be happy. Don't worry, Ranger loves you. And it won't be an obligation for him. I am sure it will all be okay!" Ella smiled at me and handed me another tissue. "We will find you a Gynaecologist and you can find out if the home test spoke the truth, after that we will go from there. I am sure Bobby can refer you someone."

Bobby Brown is the Rangemen Trenton Medic and part of the Core Team. He is also like a brother to me. Bobby has patched me up more times than I can count on two hands, but confining in him about this is still scary.

I just nodded and Ella picked up the phone to call Bobby.

Five minutes later Bobby knocked on the door. Ella opened the door and I could see the worry on his face. He had brought his med-back pack, even though Ella had told him it wasn't necessary. But the Merry Men were always ready for anything and everything.

I stood up and moved to the couch and motioned for Ella and Bobby to do the same. Bobby immediately came to my side and gave me a once over look. "What's wrong Bomber? Where does it hurt?"

I smiled at him. Like a mother hen, I could swear Bobby is worse than Ella sometimes. Ella laughed out loud and Bobby smirked. "I said that out loud didn't I?" Both of them just nodded. I smirked and looked down. This is a little embarrassing.

"I am not sick per se...I...I uhm... I am pregnant!" I blurted out. Bobby just sat there for a moment and stared at me before drawing me in a hug. "Congratulations Bomber." He withdrew and smiled at me broadly. Seeing the Merry Men smile or laugh openly is still a rare side.

"Ok...so why am I here?" Bobby continued.

"I just took a home test and this needs to be confirmed so...I need a referral from you to a gynaecologist. I don't want to go to the one I have because it's in the burg and everybody will know immediately."

Bobby stood up and moved toward the door. "I will have a look and will make an appointment for you. If you want I can even drive you there, if you don't want to go by yourself."

That's why I love these guys, always offering to help, even if they hated the task, such as shopping.

"Thank you Bobby. Yes you can drive me, but I want to go in by myself." Bobby nodded and opened the door.

"If you are feeling sick just keep drinking tea or ginger ale and stick to biscuits. I will let you know the appointment as soon as possible" With that he left the apartment.

Ella drew me in another hug and got up to gather the empty dishes from lunch. Before leaving she turned to me and gave me encouraging smile "Call me if you need anything else" with that Ella left too.

Suddenly I felt very alone. I haven't visited denial land in a while and this was the perfect time to do so. I didn't want to think about the possible outcome, on how Ranger would react when I told him or how I was going to get through this possible by myself, so I got dressed in my standard Rangemen Uniform, black cargo pants, cat boots and a T-shirt with the Rangemen logo on it, except I pulled one of Ranger's T-Shirt on instead of my own.

Grabbing my key fob out of the bowl by the door, I let myself out of the apartment and went to level five to get some work done. I know I would spend enough time over thinking things when I went to sleep tonight. So for now Work would be my distraction.
