In Peters apartment
Kayla went back to bed after having thrown up in bathroom. She climbed back under the covers and Peter put his arms around her and asked sleepily still with his eyes closed if she was okay"Yeah, just the stomach flu I guess. Just go back to sleep" Kayla said while she had a questioned look on her face before going back to sleep.
A couple of days later.
Lu walked in an exam room just to find Kayla trying to take a blood test on herself. Kayla looked up surprised.
"What are you doing?" Lu asked just as surprised as Kayla.
"Just trying to draw some blood" Kayla said somewhat embarrassed.
"Any reason for you to get a blood test" Lu asked while she took over and draw the blood.
"I only need a check up for just one thing really" Kayla said while looking down "I think I might be pregnant" she then said while looking at Lu.
"Are you sure?" Lu then asked a abit surprised
"I have all the symptoms; I have been throwing up, been really tired and I'm late"
"Have you talked to Peter about this?"
"Not yet I wanted to wait until I knew for sure... Could you please do me a favour and don't say anything… to anybody?"
"Of course, this somewhat goes under doctor – patient privilege" Lu said with a smile on her face. "You want me to page you when the test comes back?"
"Yeah that would be great" Kayla said nervous about the results.
The next day
Kayla walked into Lu's office, more nervous than ever about the result. She had tried to avoid Peter, which hadn't been that difficult since they had both been busy with work. Lu looked up from her desk
"Hey Kayla I've just gotten the results back, nervous?"
"Yes very"
Lu sat down beside her "Kayla the test was positive, you're pregnant, congratulation"
"Thanks... I guess" Kayla said with a puzzled look on her face
"You're not happy? "Lu asked with a look of surprise
"Yes of course… it's just weird and…" Kayla stopped as if she didn't know what more to say
"Well I'm guessing that this wasn't really planned! But you know what I think you'll figure everything out" Lu smiled which made Kayla smile too.
"Yeah I guess you're right, well I probably gotta find Peter and bring him the good news"
"Yeah you probably should, and if I know him like I think I do he will be thrilled, we can check how far along you are when you have talked to him, good luck"
"Thanks" Kayla said half out of the door
Lu couldn't help smiling. Peter was one of her best friends, but it somehow was strange to her, now he was going to be a father – a good one, that she knew for sure. Before she new it Kayla came back with a smile
"You haven't already told him have you? Lu said
"No, but I got an idea, could I loan my file?" Kayla asked with a big smile on her face
"Yes of course, but what are you gonna do? Lu said while giving Kayla her file
"I'll tell you later" Kayla said smiling
In the hallway
Kayla went out of Lu's office to go look for Peter when she came down the hallway she saw Peter and went after him.
"Hey Peter wait up, got a minute?"
"Hey babe, for you always!" he said with a smile on his face that could make her melt at anytime.
"I need you to look at this file, I need your professional opinion" Kayla handed Peter the file
Peter examined the file with a puzzled look "why did you need my professional opinion about this. It's obvious, this girl is pregnant, the test is positive"
"Yeah, but what do you think about it?" Kayla said with a smile. He had no clue
"Well if the girl's happy then fine with me" Peter had no clue why she was giving him this file.
"Well the girl is really happy… if the father is"
"She hasn't told him yet?"
"No. that's sort of what she is trying to do now" Kayla looked at Peter who looked at her with a look of surprise. Kayla pointed at the name at the top of the chart and smiled at him.
All of a sudden he dropped the file and lifted her up and twirled around with her in his arms
"Are you telling me that I'm going to be a dad...? That we're going to be parents?"
"Yeah… are you happy?"
"Of course I'm happy. You and me raising a kid together that's great" he put her down and took her head in his hands and kissed her passionately, she returned it and it became more and more passionate. They stood there until Lana came by
"Hey you guys rent a motel or go home... or something" she said with a smile on her face.
They stopped kissing and Peter told her the good news
"You guys are kidding, congratulations" Lana said before leaving them.
"Damn that took you a long time to figure that out" Kayla said
"Well I didn't think the name was interesting to me so I didn't read it" Peter said defending himself, they smiled at each other.
"Does this mean that you'll finally move in with me?" Peter said Kayla just laughed and began walking down the hall Peter catched up with her; he couldn't keep his hands of her and kept rubbing her stomach all the way down to the clinic to see Lu.
