How could this have happened? Maybe it was something else a disease maybe an unknown virus of some sort. There are a myriad of reasons she could be feeling this way. She couldn't be pregnant, there is too much at stake. She had already played the role of unwed mother once before, had she not learned her lesson?
Helen Magnus stood in her office staring out the colossal bay window to her left. She was distracted as her mind pondered a whirlwind of questions and scenarios of how this happened. Her hand hovered over the slight curve of her stomach. She had to tell him the truth and it needed to be soon. The occupants of the Sanctuary had already noticed the change in her demeanor and health. Morning sickness had hit with a vengeance and had yet to cease. Most of her day was spent trying to keep the little she consumed down. Contrary to the fact she couldn't keep anything down she had begun to put on weight in the last 2 weeks. Her pregnancy was becoming harder and harder to hide, especially from the ever watching Will.
This morning was no different than the past four months. Helen woke up feeling worse than she had ever felt with Every possible part of her body aching or throbbing. She knew if she stayed in bed much longer she wouldn't b able to move but in retrospect when she did she would most likely end up praying to the porcelain gods. She knew she had a meeting in less than an hour and had to get up. When she did she was met with violent nausea and ran to the bathroom just in time to empty the contents of her stomach. The morning sickness she experienced with Ashley was nothing compared to this not to mention the extra pains. Putting all discomfort aside she managed to get a shower and felt loads better. Now comes the daunting task of finding clothing that would still fit her ever changing form. Though she hadn't gained much it all unfortunately all centered in her lower abdomen. Most of her pants and skirts no longer fit properly and this was a problem. After trying on countless ensembles she opted for a umpire waist blouse and the only black stretch pants she owned. She wasn't thoroughly convinced that she had pulled it off but headed down the corridor to the meeting anyway.
When she finally got the meeting she walked in ever confident and ready to go. These meetings serve a dual purpose, not only to inform her team but to also give her a much needed distraction. She rambled away for almost 15miutes before the war in her stomach reared its ugly head. The room was spinning and it was taking all she had to not throw up again. The last thing she wanted was to alert her team that something was wrong, so the meeting pressed on. Every word that escaped her lips fueled her losing battle of staying composed and conscious. Finally admitting defeat she gave into her bodies pleas and sat down. This subtle yet anomalous move caught the attention of her team. Within minutes she was surrounded by the team and was doing her best to answer the questions being hurled at her. After what seemed like countless minutes she was grateful when Will shooed everyone away and guided Magnus toward her room.
They made it to her room and Will ushers her into her bed. She is grateful for him at this moment and remembers why she let her guard down in the first place. His attention to detail and the love and compassion he showed her had led to a night whimsical fun thus resulting in her pregnancy. She was brought out of her thoughts when she realized he was staring at her. Quickly she averted her gaze regrettably it came to rest on her small baby bump. She prayed that he hadn't noticed but to no avail. She watched as his hand came to rest on the bump she was staring at. She winced at his touched and refused to make eye contact.
Why am I acting this way? He is the father of this child and deserves to know! What if he rejects me and the baby? Maybe that night meant nothing to him. Her thought were interrupted as Will started stroking her stomach. The movement was loving and calmed all the fears she had. She watched in awe as he slowly lifted her shirt revealing what she was trying to hide. His face was expressionless and she would give anything to know what he was thinking at that moment.
"Magnus, why didn't you tell me? I love you and want to be with you through thick and thin."
Will questioned with sadness and hurt in his voice.
"Will believe me I wanted to tell u but I was afraid u would reject me. We had one night of incomparable passion and I wasn't sure if you wanted more. I was elated to find out I was carrying your child and I'm so sorry I withheld this from u," the tears she had been holding in began to pour down her face. How could he ever forgive me for this? What right did I have? I don't deserve him.
Magnus was obviously arguing with herself and Will took this opportunity to let her know how he really felt. He leaned forward and embraced her in a passionate very invasive kiss. When both had run out of breath they seceded and gazed into the others eyes.
"Magnus…..Helen I love you and I know that your actions where to protect us both from heartache. I harbor no ill will *lol* but please let me be there for you and our baby. "
" Will I….
