Popcorn
When Kate told Will of how she had come up with a plan to keep him at the sanctuary and had convinced Magnus to help her pull off this con. Then came back a few days later. To tell him it was a con to get him to stay. And now told him that she really was pregnant with their child.
"What will it take to prove to you that I'm really having your child?" Kate asked Will.
He thought on it a minute. "A picture of the child you are bearing signed by The Big Guy? A blood test that you are pregnant signed by The Big Guy? The sound of the fetal heart beat with The Big Guys voice say when and where it was taken? Do you have any of those Kate?"
She just shook her head no. "Is their anyway I can prove it?" She asked in a pleading voice.
He thought on it. "Maybe?" He said. He pushed his chair back away from his desk opened one of the drawer. Then started going through it. He pulled out what he was looking for an old stethoscope. "I knew I still had it. Here is how you can prove it. One: You will lay down on the couch. I will use this to listen for the fetal heart beat. If I hear it. We will go down to the infirmary. There I will give you a sonogram. I may not be able to tell how far along you are. But it know if you carry a child or not."
"Is that the only way?"
"It's the only way I know of that can't faked Kate."
"Lets begin then." She laid back. Than he came forward, lifted up her shirt exposing her belly. He listened with the scope. When he heard the fetal heart beat. He looked up at Kate.
"I heard the heartbeat. So now the infirmary and the sonogram."
He pulled her shirt back down. Helped her up off the couch. As they left his office he made sure everything was her to the elevator. They got on and went to the infirmary. once on the infirmary level. They got off. He walked her to the door. Turned on the lights had her go to one of the beds. He went and got everything ready for the sonogram.
"Kate lay do on your back. He lifted up her shirt exposing her belly again. Now this gel is going to feel cool at first when you feel it."
He started and the gel was cool at first. Then he used the transducer head to look for the child.. He moved it back and for over her belly. Then turned the screen so she could see it. Then he turned the sound on so she could hear the child's heartbeat.
"Is that are child's heartbeat? It's so fast is it normal?"
"If it was slower I would be calling Magnus. But from what I know, it is in the range of a normal childs heartbeat."
"Now do you believe me?" She said.
He nodded yes. Because their couldn't have been anyone else from the way she reacted in the padi-wagon.

He help her to clean up after she proved to him that she was pregnant. "You are the only one that could be the child's father." Kate said.
"Why me?" Will asked.
"Because you are the only one I fooled around with when I got pregnant. So you are the child's father. No one else only you."
"You win Kate."
"On Friday let's go see a movie with the others in the Entertainment room?"
He nodded yes.

That Friday night they went to the entertainment room. Before there got their Kate said."I'm hungry lets stop by the kitchen. I'm hungry for some pickles and chocolate chip ice cream."
Will looked at her strangely then nodded yes. "Lets get two bowls of ice cream then we can take them to the entertainment room."
She nodded. "Just remember the pickles."

They got the bowls and ice cream and she got some pickles with hers. Then they went to the entertainment room.
Everyone was their but Henry. They all had their own little treats with them. Tea, Cod fish and wine. When they came in. He moved a couch to the far side of the table. So the others wouldn't comment about what she was eating.
When Henry came in with a freshly bag of popped popcorn. The smell caused Her to start turning a sickly green. She all of a sudden jumped up off the couch grabbed the nearest waist basket and ran from the room.
He quickly followed her. He found her not ten yards past the door on her knees losing her dinner and snack.. He got on knees held her hair back out of her face. As she lost her dinner and snack. He rubbed her back in a soothing motion. When it ended he helped her up and to her room. she freshened up brush her teeth and risen her mouth out in the sink. Before he helping her into bed.
Then he rocked her softly until she fell asleep.
He left the room quietly and went back to the entertainment room. As he went in he saw that the movie was almost over. Henry looked back at Will and mouthed sorry. None of them knew the smell of popcorn would affect Kate that way.
Magnus turned to William. "Do not worry about leaving dirty plates out. The Big Guy will clean it up." Magnus said.
