Unexpected But Not Unpleasant News

Jo's got an upset stomach, but that's never stopped her from doing her job. She's about to hear some unexpected but not unpleasant news from Allison. This is going to follow most of season 4, each chapter will be an episode of the season. I've been working on this all season and wanted it to be my 100th story posted. Yay...I've made it to 100 finally.

This chapter will be episodes 4X01 Founder's Day and 4X02 A New World

I dedicate this story to my very good friend Cassie, she's been my biggest supporter through most of the CSI NY stuff. She helped me get through all of the tough stuff thrown my way. Thanks for everything Cassie.

I don't own Eureka or it's characters, but boy do I wish I did.

Jo was sitting in the chair at her desk after just letting Zane go. He'd said that he had a date. So, that meant that they didn't come back to the same Eureka they'd left. And, to top it all off, she wasn't feeling so well. Maybe she'd gotten hurt while fighting those solders in 1947.

She decided to go home and get out of this uniform. Maybe a trip to GD's infirmary would be a good idea. She stood and got a little dizzy. It looked like time travel had more of an affect on her than she thought. She needed to go and get checked out soon.

Jo was pissed and not feeling very well which is what lead her here to Cafe Diem for some tea to settle her stomach. She kept telling herself that she would go and get checked out at GD as soon as she figured out what she was going to do without a fiance or a job.

She was almost as shocked to see Doctor Trevor Grant in the jail cell as much as she was to find out that Andy was Carter's deputy. What had she been doing in Eureka for the past year? And as if thinking about him conjured him up, Andy just walked into Cafe Diem and sat down beside her.

"Tiny's on her way back to GD. I'm just on my way back to the scene to finish my incident report. Paperwork, huh?" He asked.

"Big whoop tin man." She replied.

"I imagine going back to the past put you in a sour mood." He said as he leaned over so that they weren't overheard.

She looked around, concerned. "Carter told you." It wasn't a question.

"Well, confirmed a hunch. Don't worry, I know it's all on the down low. I thought you'd be out and about, seeing what's changed." He told her.

"I have no man and no job, that's enough change for one day." She went on to take a sip of her tea.

"No job?" He laughed. "You're the head of security at GD." He said.

"What?" Jo asked him. That feeling in her stomach was getting worse, in fact she felt like she was going to throw up. She got up and ran to the bathroom and lost all the contents in it, which wasn't much.

When she got done, she cleaned herself up and left the bathroom, and Andy was gone. She ordered a tea to go and headed for GD to see what her office looked like. She couldn't believe that she was the head of security at GD. It was a way better job than being deputy to Carter, but she'd really loved her job as deputy.

She drank her tea as she went out to her car. At least she still had her cool car, that hadn't changed. As she drove through town, she looked for the differences between her Eureka and this one. There wasn't much difference, but she saw a new store on one corner and a movie theater on another. Other than that it looked pretty much like the Eureka she'd left behind.

She checked in at GD and went to her office to see that her office was very private and a lot like she would decorate it. It was so her. She sat down at her computer and turned it on, and of course it needed a password. In her Eureka, her favorite password had been Donovan, she'd changed it to that shortly after she and Zane started dating.

She tried the password she'd used before she and Zane had gotten together. It was ballerina1, and she was surprised that it worked. Evidently the Jo here also shared her love of dancing. Her computer screen opened and the first thing she noticed was the file marked Donovan, Zane. She checked on it and read all of the times she'd thrown him in jail.

Most of his 'pranks' were childish and minor problems, really nothing to be sent to jail for. The other Jo must really hate him if she loved throwing him in jail for not real reason. He couldn't be that much of a screw up to deserve this from her. She needed to show this to Carter then she'd go see Allison in the infirmary.

She wasn't feeling very well again. She really hoped that she didn't get too hurt back in 1947. Her tea was about to come up again. Maybe she should really go to the infirmary now. All of a sudden, it passed again and she felt better. Okay, she'd go to the infirmary as soon as everything calmed down. She needed to show Carter the files on Zane.

Jo finally got some free time since Carter Andy, and Grant had saved Eureka once again. She found Allison alone in the infirmary. "Hey Allison, can I get you to do me a favor?"

Allison turned around when Jo called her name. "Sure Jo, what's up?"

"Well, I've been kind of not feeling too well since we got back from 1947. I hope I didn't get too hurt when I was fighting those solders. Do you think I might have gotten hurt and could have internal injuries?" She was rambling cause she was scared.

Allison moved over to her to calm her down cause she looked terrified. "Whoa, calm down Jo, let me check you out first before we jump to conclusions. Let me get my ultra sound scanner. What are your symptoms?" She asked Jo as she led her over to a chair and picked up the scanner.

"Well, my stomach hurts and I've thrown up a few times today. I haven't held anything down all day and I got dizzy earlier at the sheriff's office. Does it sound like I could have been hurt in the fight?" She asked Allison as she got prepared for the scan.

Allison didn't say anything as she completed the ultra sound scan of Jo's body. She put the scanner down and slowly turned back to Jo with a slight smile on her face. "I'm sure that you weren't hurt too bad in the fight and there is nothing seriously wrong with you."

Jo took a slow calming breath. "Then what's wrong with me Allison? I feel like I'm going to throw up again." She told her.

Allison gave her an injection. "This will help your stomach, and I'll give you something to take home that will also help the next time you feel like throwing up."

"How long is this going to last Allison? I don't know how much longer I can deal with this nausea." Jo complained.

Allison smiled again. "I'm pretty certain it could last a few weeks, no more than 35 at the most."

Jo stared at Allison, not really getting what she was hearing. "Huh?"

"Jo, you're pregnant. You're going to have a baby in about 35 weeks. You're about five weeks pregnant, congratulations." She explained to Jo.

"I'm pregnant?" She asked.

"Yeah, you're pregnant honey. I'm guessing it wasn't planned, and I know that it's Zane's baby. What are you going to do?" She asked Jo.

"I don't know. I can't tell this Zane, he hates me. We've never been together in this time line and I wouldn't know how to tell him anyway. I'm pregnant." She said.

"Yeah, you're pregnant. How are you going to tell everyone, when are you going to tell everyone?" She asked Jo.

"I'm not sure Allison. I guess I'll figure it all out later. Right now I need to go and see Fargo about Andy's condition. I'll get the medicine on my way out Allison." She got up and left the infirmary.

Jo had checked on Andy and then drove over to the sheriff's office to see Carter. When she got there, it was empty, so she pulled up her old chair and sat on the desk resting her feet on the chair. She placed her hand on her flat belly and closed her eyes. What was she going to do?

She couldn't tell this Zane and she couldn't tell the town who the father was. She didn't know how she was going to explain being pregnant and not being in a relationship. She pulled her ring out of her shirt. She'd placed it on a chain to wear it close to her heart. It's the only way she could wear it now.

The doors opened and Carter walked in. He looked over at her as he headed for his desk. "Hey."

She stayed where she was and didn't know if she was ready to tell him yet. "You okay there Tex?"

He shrugged. "Oh yeah, I mean don't believe them when they tell you that lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place, but a...how's Andy?" He asked her as he wondered why she was there.

She smiled slightly. "Oh, he'll survive. Fargo said that he needs a complete memory wipe and reload."

He nodded. "Oh that's okay. I mean he enjoyed the time travel story the first time, so he'll forget and I'll tell him again." He looked serious. "What are you doing here all alone?"

She smiled sadly. "It's where Zane proposed, and I didn't answer." She said.

"Ah, well everybody freezes the first time in combat. Well, almost everybody. You got scared, doesn't change how you feel about the guy. You just got scared." He told her.

She felt like she was fighting off the tears. "I just wish I'd said something. You know, I know that it wouldn't make a difference and I know that he wouldn't remember now. But, at least it would be out there in the universe, somewhere. You know I love the guy, and he loved me...once." She said as the tears started falling.

Jack hated tears, especially when it was Jo crying. He walked over to her and was surprised when she let him pull her into his arms. He knew that she needed comforting at this moment. "I wish I could tell you that everything was going to be alright, but I can't. I can promise that I'll be there for you no matter what."

She pulled back and looked up at him. "Oh it gets better Carter. I just found out from Allison that I'm pregnant." She told him and sat back down.

"You're pregnant? Wow, wasn't expecting that." He said.

She tried to laugh. "I wasn't either, I mean Zane and I had never really talked about kids and I wasn't expecting his proposal either. I haven't been feeling well since we got here and I asked Allison to check me out. She told me that I was five weeks along." She told him.

He stood in front of her. "What are you going to do?"

"That's what Allison asked me. I'm not really sure. I can't tell this Zane, we've never been anything but enemies here. I just don't know what to do yet, but I am going to have this baby. The baby is the best part of me and Zane." She said as she placed her hand on her flat belly again.

He placed a hand on her shoulder. "I meant what I said Jo. I'll be here to lean on if you need me. And, I'm sure that Allison, Henry, and Fargo will be there for you too. We'll help you get through this and we'll just take it one day at a time." He promised.

She stood and hugged him. "Thanks Carter, for everything."

"You're welcome. Now come on, we're supposed to meet Allison, Henry, Fargo, and Doctor Old Spice over at Cafe Diem." He told her as he led her out of the office.

Jo didn't know what was going to happen next, but she did know that she was going to raise Zane's baby. At least she wasn't going to be in this all alone. She had Carter, Allison, Henry, and of course Fargo. Carter and Allison both knew about her pregnancy, but she wasn't quite ready to tell the others just yet.

Maybe she'll tell them soon, maybe when she had to tell them, but for right now she wanted to keep it to herself. "Hey Carter, can we keep this between you, me, and Allison for right now?"

"Sure Jo." He said as they walked across the street.
