Dr. K woke up in the morning to cramps and a backache. She figured one of her erratic periods had finally come to pay a visit. Normally this would have bothered her and she would go straight for some ibuprofen, but today was different, today she actually welcomed the pain. She hadn't been feeling well that past few months. She would get sick to her stomach periodically. Bad smells usually caused it and sometimes it was only she who could smell it. But that didn't stop her from gaining weight, not enough that she couldn't fit into her clothes, but it still irked her. There was also the gas and heartburn she had been suffering from, but nothing to worry some.

"You ready to go," Ziggy said entering their bedroom with a tray of pancakes.

"No. I don't feel well."

"Oh no you don't. We promised Summer and Dillion and the rest of the gang that we were going with them out to the waste land for a camping trip to celebrate the anniversary of Venjix's defeat, and to help set up the new colony." Since the defeat of Venjix people like Summer, Dillion and Tanaya had started to live outside the dome, and now they were starting to build colonies hoping to rebuild the world that once was. Since it was the summer the school didn't need their immediate attention it was the perfect time to get away

"I'm sorry Ziggy I am sick, and cannot possibly go out today maybe next year." Dr.K still had an aversion to going outside. Going out of the dome was way out of her comfort zone.

"Look Kay, I know your scared to go outside but everything will be fine." Ziggy looked into Dr. K's eyes, but all he saw was determination to stay in the security of the dome. He decided it was no use fighting her on this, "are you sure you don't want to come"

"I am sure. I am not feeling well enough to accompany you on this excursion."

"If you sure." Ziggy looked at Dr. K hoping that she would change her mind, but she wouldn't. "Okay, fine. I hope you feel better. We will probably be out of reach for most of the time, but we'll be back in two weeks." Ziggy placed a kiss on Dr. K's lips and left the room.

Dr. K was exited. Since she and Ziggy started the school and moved in together the moment she had to herself had become precious, and now she would have two weeks to herself. Don't get her wrong, she was going to miss having him around, but she also looked forward to some alone time. She decided to try and sleep of the pain from her mid region, but it didn't work. When she tried to get up to get some medicine the pain hit her like a ton of bricks, sending her to her knees. She knew something was very wrong. She decided her best option was to call an ambulance and go to the hospital.

When the ambulance came she could barely make it to the door. On the way to the hospital she started to self-diagnose, but nothing seemed to fit all her symptoms. She was mystified as to what was going on

Finally at the hospital they began asking questions one after the other. When did it start? What had she eaten? The questions seemed to be endless and then came the question she was not expecting. Could she be pregnant? She answered no. She and Ziggy were careful. She was on birth control and her periods came, as sporadic as they were. They decided to run some tests. All Dr. K could do was wait in pain. Then something strange happened she felt a warm gush in her pants. Did she just wet herself? Somehow she knew that wasn't it. Dr. K was in disbelief. It was then she got an uncontrollable urge to push. That was when the Doctor came in

"You are definitely pregnant and we think you might be in labor."

That was when Dr. K spoke up "I think my water just broke"

"Oh my god" he rushed over and pressed a button and a swarm of people in scrubs entered the room. "We need to get this woman up into labor and delivery stat," and that's just what they did.

Dr. K hadn't even been in her room for two seconds when she was told to start pushing, which she did through tears, with her mind racing. How could this have happened? How could she be so stupid not to relies she was pregnant? Was the baby alright? What was she going to do? It was a few hours later that the doctor pulled out a tiny baby "It's a boy" the doctor proclaimed as nurses descended on the baby taking it away.

"Where is he going," a weary Dr. K asked.

"They just need to perform some tests to make sure he is healthy. Right now you need to focus on delivering the after birth."
