"I wanna do a blood test..." Will said, walking along one of the Sanctuary's halls with Helen.

"Honey, it hasn't even been a week yet. We wouldn't be able to tell, it's a waste of my blood." She stopped and looked at him. His bottom lip jutted out. "I'll pick up a home pregnancy test, if it will stop you pestering me." A small smile graced his face and she laughed.

"But, not now, I have things to do." She continued walking.

"I'll go get one. I've got nothing to do..." She stopped and turned to face him. Walking back towards him, she placed a small kiss on his lips and put a hand either side of his face, looking into his eyes.

"I love how dedicated you are to this Will." another small kiss and she was walking away again.


An hour later, Will walked into her office. She didn't notice, too engrossed in her work. He shook the pregnancy test, it made a rattling sound that pulled her attention from the papers in front of her. When she noticed what it was, she smiled. Helen thought it was so cute, the way he was acting about this, so excited at the thought of him being a father.

"Right now?" She asked. He nodded.

"Yes, please?" She obliged and got up from her desk chair and walked with him, hand and hand to their bedroom, and into the bathroom. She pulled the stick from the box and turned to him.

"You're not going to watch me pee on this thing...please get out." He sighed and walked out, only slightly closing the door. He sat on the bed and fiddled with his phone. He waited for two minutes.

"Helen?" He shouted. Then heard the toilet flush, she exited the room holding a small box. Obviously containing the stick. She put it on the bedside table and sat down next to Will, he grabbed her hand. She looked at him with happy eyes and he kissed her cheek.

"How long?" He asked.

"Three minutes. Calm down baby." He closed his eyes and stroked his thumb on the back of her hand. She could tell he was getting impatient, but if they check too soon, it will be a false reading. It made her so happy that he wanted to father her child and she couldn't wait to be a family. She wanted to be called 'Mummy' once again.

"Been three minutes yet?" She nodded and he grabbed the box, quickly pulling the flaps apart and tipping the stick onto the bed. They looked at each other and smiled.

"Before we look at it Will. I just want you to know, I love you and I don't want you to get upset if it's negative okay? If it is, I don't mind trying again and again" she winked at him and smiled.

"I'll be okay. Let's just look now." They both took a deep breath and looked towards the stick. A pink plus was printed on the top and Helen let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Realising what this meant, she looked at Will and he pulled her into his arms, smiling like an idiot.

"I'm gonna be a dad" He exclaimed. Feeling like the proudest man on the earth. He knew this was a step in a direction that he was very ready for. He looked to Helen and saw her eyes glistening with moisture.

"What kind of tears are those?" He whispered. She gave him a small smile. Hoping they were tears of joy. He knew she would be happy to be pregnant, it was her idea after all. But he also knew it would bring back memories of Ashley.

"Tears of...joy. Happiness but also sorrow. It just makes me think of Ashley. I miss her and this just reminds me of when I found out I was pregnant with her. How extremely happy I was. I feel just as happy having this child with you." She put a hand to his cheek and stroked it lovingly. "I just wish I could share this with Ashley." a tear slipped down her cheek.

"She knows baby, and she's happy for us. You can feel it all around."

TBC!
