Chapter 2

Eric pulled into the parking lot at the lab and went to find Calleigh. When he found her she was just coming out of the bathroom with her hand over her mouth, wiping something away. "Are you okay?"

"Yea, I'm fine. I think I've caught Rachel's bug she had last week." Calleigh reached into her locker and pulled out her purse. "Are we ready to go?"

"Are you sure you're up to it?" Eric looked concerned.

"Yea of course. I've been looking forward to this all day." She just smiled and walked past him.

"Okay, but if you throw up once I'm taking you home. No arguments." Eric followed her.

"Okay, I promise I wont throw up." Calleigh turned to him, shook her head slightly before giving him a kiss on the lips. When she pulled back she could feel herself nearly be sick but she managed to hold it back. She wasn't about to let a little bug ruin her dinner with her daughter.

Calleigh walked up to the car and could see two people in the back. "Who is that?"

"That would be Tony." Calleigh still looked confused. "Your daughter's boyfriend.

"Oh, so I am going to get to meet him." She smiled sneakily.

"What are you planning Miss Duquesne?" She liked the way he called her by her surname, he made it sound so sexy.

"Nothing. Yet." She rubbed her hand softly down his arm and climbed into the passenger side of the car.

"I'm guessing Eric already told you who this is." Rachel watched as her mom put on her seatbelt.

"Now what makes you say that." She was trying to hide the smirk on her face.

"You're smirking. And don't say you're not coz I can see you."

"I was wondering when I was gonna meet him!" Calleigh turned around in her seat to face Rachel and Tony. "Hi."

"Hi." He shook her hand that she had extended towards him.

"So he's coming to dinner with us." Calleigh smiled an evil smile. Eric had begun to drive to the restaurant.

"Well you said you wanted to meet him." Rachel gave Calleigh the same evil smile. "You're planning either something really embarrassing or something really mean."

"Me! I wouldn't do that would I?" Calleigh looked sarcastically hurt.

"Yes, yes you would." Rachel looked serious. "Please don't do anything mom."

"Okay. But only because you said please." Calleigh turned back round to face the front.

"So you admit that you were planning something!" Rachel raised her eyebrows.

"That's for me to know and for you to maybe find out." Calleigh grinned at her daughter.

They arrived at the restaurant five minutes early and decided to order some drinks. When Calleigh ordered an alcoholic drink Eric quickly took it off of her. "Do you think you should really be drinking that?"

"Give me one reason why I shouldn't!" Calleigh tried to get it back off of him.

"Oh I don't know maybe because…" Rachel quickly stopped him and talked to him in private. "Why did you pull me away?"

"I've been thinking. You know you said earlier that she hadn't told you?" Eric nodded. "Yea, and she thinks she has a bug doesn't she!" Again he nodded. "And now she has ordered an alcoholic drink, right?"

"What are you getting at?" Eric was getting a little frustrated.

"What if she didn't know?" Rachel watched as Eric's face went from frustrated to confused.

"That's not possible. She took a test that said positive. How could she not know?" Eric shrugged his soldier's.

"I don't know. All I know is that if my mom knew she was pregnant then she definitely would not have ordered this." Rachel lifted up Eric's hand.

"What do we do now then?" Eric glanced up at Calleigh who was laughing with Tony. "I think you may want to interrupt them."

Rachel looked over where his hand was pointing. She quickly walked over to them and slipped her arm around Tony's back. Calleigh's laughter slowed down as she saw what her daughter was doing. "What are you two talking about? Anything interesting?" She gave Tony a kiss on the check.

"No not really. I was telling your mom about how we met." Tony nodded wanting to kiss her passionately but stopped himself when he remembered he was standing in front of her mom.

"Hey mom can I talk to you? In private?" Rachel let go of Tony and walked towards Calleigh.

"Sure honey. What's wrong?" Calleigh walked a few feet away from the boys and turned to Rachel.

"It's…just…" She was finding it hard to find the right words. "Before I came here I was in the bathroom and…"

"It's okay honey, you know you can tell me anything." Calleigh placed her hand on Rachel's shoulder.

"I found a pregnancy test in the trash." Rachel watched as her mom seemed to go into complete shock. "It's not mine so I figured it must have been yours."

"Yea I took a test this morning. I have been feeling nauseous all week." Calleigh came back from her daydream. "But it was negative so it doesn't matter." She smiled but when Rachel didn't return the smile she got worried. "What's wrong now?"

"It was positive." Calleigh could feel her heart beat faster and faster with every second. She could feel herself going dizzy. Rachel grabbed her arm and helped her to a chair.

"It can't be. It just can't. Can it?" Calleigh started to shake her head. "I swear it said negative. Or did it? I don't remember. All I remember is I took the test, then the next thing I know is you're dragging me out the bathroom."

Eric and Tony saw what happened and quickly rushed over to see if everything was alright.

Calleigh sat there, not sure what to say. She placed her head on her hands and began to shake it again. Eric rubbed small circles in her back. All of a sudden she looked up and began to smile at Eric. "We're going to have a baby!" She threw her arms around him and started to cry happily into his neck. Eric held her close to him breathing in her intoxicating scent. He was so glad he was having a baby with the woman he loved the most.
