So this is almost the equivalent to the prologue…

Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.

-H.G. Wells

"Myka darling, what is bothering you?" Helena asked her very sweetly noticing that the woman of her affection had been somewhat jumpy and defensive all week-long.

"Oh…uh…nothing Helena. Everything is fine," Myka said clearly lying hoping that the older agent wouldn't call her bluff. Unfortunately this was all but the case.

Helena had been putting books back on one of the higher shelves in the warehouse office, but put aside her task to come and stand in front of Myka. At the moment the Myka was staring down at her hands which rested in her lap. She didn't feel like looking at Helena. Though, this didn't stop her girlfriend from crouching down and lifting the younger woman's chin so as to meet her eyes. "Myka please, what is wrong sweetheart?"

Myka meet her eyes for a brief second before responding, "As I told you, it's nothing."

"Do you really not trust me that much?" the British woman asked the hurt evident in her voice.

This got the brunette agents attention. Her hand quickly reaching out to cup her lover's face, "Helena it's…it's not that…I do trust you with my whole heart but…"

"But what?" Helena cooed the almost hurt completely gone now replaced by concern for the younger woman.

"Uh…well umm…I have a doctors appointment today, but don't worry it's nothing major."

"Myka honey what happened? Are you alright?" Helena asked clearly starting to get worried.

"Oh you know it's just umm…I haven't…umm had my period in awhile so I'm going to the doctor to make sure everything is alright," Myka answered blushing profusely.

Helena couldn't help, but smile. She thought it may be something very serious, but something like this could be easily explained with a simple solution. Helena got up but not before wrapping the younger woman in a comforting hug then placing a quick kiss to her lips. The older woman decided she was going to have some fun with girlfriend. "You know there are two obvious explanations for why you're late?"

"And what pray tell are they?" Myka asked turning back to the computer she'd been filling out her report on moments ago.

"Well one would be you're pregnant which I highly doubt because you've spent almost every second of everyday with me. Well unless that artifact didn't just change my anatomy for those few hours, but my umm…other organs as well," H.G cleared her throat before continuing. "Then the other could be that you started menopause. After all Myka you're technically older than me."

"Excuse me, but you're much older than me by almost a hundred years!" Myka responded spinning around in her chair to face her lover.

"Oh but you see I was frozen at age thirty and you my dear are thirty-one. Thus, by default you are one year older than me."

"Whatever makes you feel better sweetheart," Myka said rolling her eyes. "You do realize that neither of those options are no where near close to being right. I'm far too young to start menopause, Helena."

"I was just teasing you darling," H.G replied giving Myka a Cheshire cat grin. "So I guess you're not going to let me come to the doctor's with you?"

"Helena, I'll be fine on my own. Plus I don't really need any inappropriate comments when I'm at the gynecologist. I know that if you came with me you'd find a way to get into the examining room with me, and I really don't need another pair of eyes looking down there. Especially not yours well the doctors trying to do his work."

"Awww…you're no fun today," Helena said with a little smile as she walked back to her girlfriend and sat on Myka's lap drawing her into a passionate kiss before adding; "I guess I will just have to wait for my own private viewing later tonight."

"Is that all you ever think about?"

"No it's not and just to prove it to you. I have a little surprise planned for you after you get back from the doctors. Wear one of those dresses I like so much and meet me in the kitchen around six thirty."

"What kind of surprise?"

"You'll never get it out of me."

"Oh we'll just have to see about that," Myka retorted with a mischievous grin spreading across her face as she brought her lips up to meet Helena's.

The Doctor's Office

"Myka have a seat please," said the doctor entering the room again after just moments ago stepping out. After Myka was seated once again on the exam room table the doctor took his chair and faced her. "Myka I have some news for you. It seems as though you are pregnant."

"Wait…what!" Myka practically yelled obviously in shock. "Wait a moment I haven't slept with a…Ohhh…."

About a Month Ago

The guy, Helena and Myka had been chasing for a week in Texas, threw the flail at Helena. Unfortunately she caught it but without her gloves on causing the artifact to take effect on her.

Myka thought her eyes were playing tricks on her when she saw a bulge starting to form in Helena's trousers.

"Ummm…Helena what's that?"

A few moments later…

"So what are you saying Claudia?"

"Well Myka what I'm trying to say that is umm…H.G's newly acquired equipment won't go away until she or I guess it would be he has sex with someone."

"Then what happens to it?"

"Then nothing it just disappears from what I gather. I'm not sure how much is changed. It's probably just the outer parts though. I know that Min was the god of fertility in Egyptian culture since that was his flail, but I doubt it would change her whole being. After all wouldn't there be more signs if there was. Her voice still sounds like a girl so…"

"Perhaps she's a boy going through puberty?"

"Oh ha ha very funny both of you, but what does that leave me to do Claudia?"

"Well…"

Later after the Doctor's Visit

It was a cold evening at the warehouse. The first leaves of fall had just begun drop from the withering branches of the trees surrounding the B&B. Everything seemed so calm except in one room in the B&B which belonged to Myka Berning. At the moment she was pacing back and forth trying to stay calm at a very surprising situation. It wasn't a situation Myka ever expected to find herself in especially at this moment in her life.

"Ok Myka, I'm sure she'll be ok with this after all it's her fault that you have this growing inside you," Myka told herself as she continued to pace. The cool air sending a chill up her spine causing her to shiver at the cold air since all she had on was the dress Helena had requested she wear.

Myka didn't know how she was going to break the news to her girlfriend, but she didn't have time to think much about that at the moment. It was gaining on six thirty. "Time to face the music," Myka told herself before heading downstairs to meet Helena.

I hope you all like this. So I've decided to write this story a bit different than my other style if you've read them before. Anyway I'm going to let you the reader vote on what should happen in your review.

So the question is…

Does Myka tell Helena about the baby at dinner or does she decided to try to keep it from her for awhile and I have H.G try all these things to figure out what Myka's hiding from her? Also what should Helena's reaction be to the news of her girlfriend being pregnant with her baby?
