Throwing the test on the sink Gabby sighed deeply. Wondering to herself about what she had been thinking she began to feel the tears well up in her eyes. Holding her head in her hands she tried to shake away the tears but they had already began to fall. Deciding that sitting here in her bathroom was not going to help the situation any she got up slowly. Walking toward the phone she was preparing herself to make the phone call she didn't want to make. The not knowing how he was going to react was the biggest fear she had felt in a long time. Grabbing the phone from the kitchen Gabby sat down at the kitchen table, her hand poised to make one of the most important phone calls in her life.

After staring at the phone for over five minutes trying to build the courage to call him Gabby opted to call a friend for some emotional support. Dialing the phone to her best friend and co-worker Megan seemed the most rational choice.

"Megan, Hey its Gabby. You busy?"

"Nope just getting ready for work. You?"

"Same. Hey listen I need some advise. I know you are very familiar with Don Epps."

"Yeah I have been working for him for a couple of years. Why what's up?"

"Look I need to tell you something and I need to know that it is going to stay between us. Its very important."

"Wow. Ok yeah you know it will stay between us."

"Ok this is really hard to say" taking a deep breath Gabby tried continue without beginning to cry again. "I um, wow, I am pregnant."

"Are you sure?"

"The three tests I took seem to think I am, but that's not the kicker."

"There is more…OK spill it."

"Its Don's"

"Oh my God! I didn't even know the two of you were close like that. That is a total surprise. Holy Cow Gabby."

"I know I know. We are not dating or anything. We were at the Valentines Dinner at work and we had to much to drink. We shared a cab cause we live by each other. He wanted to make sure I made it into my house ok before leaving but the taxi left without him. I invited him to use the couch for the night but one thing led to another and …yeah you can pretty much guess what happened from there"

"well…I have one question for you."

"Ok shoot"

"Was he as good at sex as he is at being in the FBI?"

"Oh….better." Giggling Gabby thought about that night remembering the way she felt. It had been forever since anyone made her feel that good about herself. He was amazing and even when they sobered up the next morning she had to have him again before reality kicked in and he had to go home. Sometimes she really wished that things had gone differently and they had started dating.

"You still there?"

"yeah sorry just thinking about how I am going to tell him all this. My biggest fear is he will freak."

"Are you sure you wanna tell him on the phone? This is awfully big news to tell someone on the phone."

"Your right. I am gonna see him at work today and ask him to go to lunch. Then I will just tell him. I can't change the facts of the situation at this point anyway."

"True. Well I have to finish getting ready. We are interviewing suspects today and I need to be there early."

"Ok I will see you there later. Oh and megan?"

"Yeah"

"Thanks"

"No Problem."

Sitting the phone back on the receiver Gabby decided that she would face this head on. She had nothing to be ashamed of. She could do this on her own with or without Don. Hopefully with but hey she could do this. Getting dressed proved to be harder then usual due to puking every so often but she did get ready. The drive to work seem to go faster then normal too. Her anxiety about telling Don seemed to be escalating. Gabby didn't think she was going to make it to lunch to tell him. She was going to get more stressed and freak out herself. Sitting her tea on her desk she quickly looked around the office. There in the far corner was Don and he looked like he was having a good laugh with two of his agents Colby and David. Deciding it was now or never she straightened her outfit and walked over to them. As she finally reached them Colby was the first to speak to her.

"Hey Gabby how is everything going?"

"That remains to be seen. How is everything for you boys?"

"Good. Good." David quickly replied.

"I don't mean to interrupt I just wanted to see if I could borrow Don for a minute."

"Hey if it mean it gets us out of work take him" Colby replied laughing.

"Ha Ha Granger. It won't take but a few minutes. If that is ok with you Don"

"Sure. We can go into the conference room if we need to."

"Actually that would be great I don't want this to get around the office yet."

"OK follow me" As Don opened the door to the conference room he placed his hand on the small of her back to guide her in the door. The seemingly innocent touch sent familiar shivers up and down Gabby's spine leaving butterflies in her stomach that she hoped weren't signs of morning sickness again. "Have a seat. What's up?"

"Don I really don't know how to begin. I want to tell you that Valentines Day was great. I mean really great "

"I feel the same way. Sorry I haven't called you in a bit with the new case and all the stuff going on with my brother I have been really busy."

"Oh don't worry about that. That's not why I needed to speak to you."

"Good. Then let me start by asking you to dinner? I can make up for neglecting my masculine duties of calling by treating you to dinner. Tonight say around seven?"

"Wow…that was not what I was expecting but sure. I would love to go to dinner with you but first you might want to hear what I have to say."

"OK shoot."

Gathering all her strength Gabby made a split second decision to just be blunt and tell him. "Well…I am pregnant."
