A/N Hey, this is my first Standoff fic so i hope you like it.
"Oh, she's so cute" squealed Lia, looking down at the small baby wrapped up in Emily's arms. "Does she have a name yet?" asked Cheryl peering over Emily's shoulder.
"No" replied Emily shifting to give Cheryl a better look. "We were thinking of calling her Angela, because I think she looks like an angel."
"I totally agree. I mean blond hair, blue eyes and the cutest little smile" Said Lia tickling the baby who let out a delighted giggle. "Yeah" replied Emily "except Matt wouldn't agree"
she said turning to glare at the man seated a few meters away from her. "Men" huffed the three women together turning once more to the baby.
"What's so good about baby's anyway, man" asked Duff sitting around a table with Frank and Matt watching the girls laugh over the baby. "I mean all they do is eat, sleep and
poop."
"It's not what the baby does, you idiot, it's how the baby is the perfect symbol of innocence and peace that the women love" replied Frank.
"Man, fatherhood's made you soft; I swear ever since Eileen had Tommy you've lost it" said Duff turning towards Frank with a weirded out look on his face.
"Just because I appreciate the people in my life doesn't mean I'm soft" said Frank in his defence.
"Yeah, whatever" said Matt "I don't get it either, I mean we haven't even known the kid for more than a few hours and social services will be here soon but Emily's acting like the
baby's some type of god or something."
"Hey from what I've heard I wouldn't be so quick to rule kids out of your life, man" said Frank turning to grin at Matt.
"What do you mean" said Matt, all the colour draining from his face.
"Well" said Duff leaning in to tell the Matt the news " apparently Emily told Lia who told Cheryl who told Eileen that Emily had been feeling sick for the last few weeks."
"So" said Matt "She told me had had the flu"
"Ha" said Duff pointing a finger at Matt "that's what she wants you to believe, I mean she's not going to come right out and say 'Matt I'm pregnant' now is she"
Matt stared at Frank and Duff confused "What are you trying to say here, men"
"Oh god, Emily is pregnant" said Frank slowly. Matt sank back into his chair "Well that or she's having an affair or dying, it's always one of the three" Said Frank winking at Matt.
"Good luck" said Duff getting out of his chair with Frank.
Oh dear god, thought Matt staring at Emily playing and giggling with the baby lying in her arms. Could she really be pregnant?
