A/N: Sort chapter because I split it with the first one. I don't own Leverage
It Can't Be True
"Sophie chillax everything is going to be okay," Nate said gently.
Sophie gasped and looked at him. "You did not just say chillax?
"Whatever. Just try to settle down, everything is going to be okay Sophie."
"God, my stomach's already twisted itself inside out and into knots," Sophie clutched her stomach.
"Well you do have a child growing in you," Nate reminded her.
Sophie slapped his arm. "Shut up."
"Sophie!" A lady with dark curly brown hair said from her place at the door.
"Molly!" Sophie got up and gave the women a bg hug. Nate walked over to the two, this must be her doctor friend she had been talking about.
"This is Dr. Johanna?" Nate asked Sophie.
"Nate, meet Molly Johanna."
"Nate Ford. Nice to meet you," Nate held out his hand, giving a small smile.
"Nice to meet you too," Sara shook his hand.
"Well come on Soph let's see if we can't get you out of here in a flash," Sara said with a smile. They followed Sara into one of the rooms and Nate and Sophie sat down in the chairs.
"So I assume since you're here that you're pregnant. Congratulations you two!"
Sophie quickly corrected her, "That's actually why I'm here! I...don't know who the father...is. Nate is just here for moral support"
"Oh, well now I feel like complete idiot." Sara said, obviously regretting saying congrats "Well we will get some tests done and have them sent off. You should have the results in 3 days. But first I need you to answer some questions"
"Okay, go ahead."
"Are you in a relationship?"
"Yes."
"Have you ever had sex or engaged in sexual activities with him?"
"No."
"Reason?"
"I'll feel guilty."
"Do you have any ideas on who the father might be?"
"Not really."
"When did you find out you were pregnant?"
"About 1 week ago."
"Have you had sex at all during the past one to two months?"
"Well I guess if I'm pregnant I have. But not that I remember, no."
"Huh. It appears that you had sex with someone, god knows who, forgot and now your pregnant."
"Really?" Sophie replied sarcastically. "I would've never guessed."
Sara rolled her eyes. "Come on, let's go get your tests done"
~Later that day~
"So how'd your appointment go?" Eliot asked as the team ate their take out Chinese and Sophie ate a sandwich Eliot had made.
"Fine. We'll get the test results back in three days."
"We're all here for you if you need someone to talk to," Hardison said kindly.
"Thanks Hardison but I think I'll be fine."
"So do you think it's a boy a girl?" Parker asked curiously.
Sophie laughed at her comment. "I haven't the slightest clue. When I figure out who the father is I can start thinking about the gender of the baby."
"I hope it's a girl!" Parker grinned and clapped her hands.
The three guys rolled their eyes at the comment.
"You are so going to spoil your child," Nate smirked.
"I am not!" Sophie defended, "And get that signature smirk off your face."
"Are you gonna throw a baby shower?" Hardison asked excitedly.
Sophie raised her eyebrow at him. "No probably not."
"Aww you suck!"
Sophie looked at him, a bit taken back.
"Did Maggie have a baby shower?" Parker asked Nate.
"Yeah," Nate didn't let the team see him choke up. Sophie could see that his eyes went blank as the ghosts of his past flittered through his mind. They sat in silence for a few minutes before Hardison spilled his orange soda all over Eliots front in attempt to nab some of Parker's chicken.
"DAMMIT HARDISON!" Eliot roared as he stood up to see the front of his favorite white shirt soaked with the orange drink.
"Okay! Okay, we can fix this," Hardison said quickly, spinning around trying to find a rag or a napkin.
"No we can't fix this Hardison! You're damn soda stained my favorite shirt!" Eliot yelled as he started taking his shirt off.
"Well sorray," Hardison raised his hands in defense and sat down.
"You owe me 30 bucks now," Eliot growled as he sat back down.
Hardison pulled his wallet out and tossed him thirty dollars. "Now we're even."
Eliot took his half drunken beer and poured it over Hardisons head.
Everyone cracked up laughing and Hardison just sat there with an are-you-kidding me look. "I hate you."
Eliot just laughed harder. Hardison got up and took his soaking t-shirt off. Parker's eyes went slightly wide and she quickly busied her self by shoving food in her mouth. Eliot just looked at Parker with a slight mischievous look in his eyes. Parker grinned and took her glass of water and casually knocked it over so it spilled all over Nate. They all started laughing so hard that Sophie nearly started crying. Nate muttered a string of curses under his breath and just slouched back in his chair.
"Well aren't you going to take your shirt off" Sophie asked, still trying to catch her breath
"No."
Parker was quick to think and took Sophie's water and dumped it in his lap.
"PARKER!" He yelled and stood up to see his jeans and shirt were now both soaking
They all laughed even harder and once the Grifter caught her breath she leaned over to whisper in the Thief's ear. "He's no fun."
"Oh! I have an idea" Parker grinned excitedly. She took his mug of coffee as quickly as she could and then dumped it all down his front. Nate made no move to stop her.
"I hate you all," Nate growled.
"You're no fun!" Sophie yelled.
"Sophie's right" Eliot agreed.
"C'mon man can't you play along?" Hardison asked.
"No. Now I'm going up to go change" Nate said as he headed for the back of the bar.
Once Nate disappeared they all had a good laugh and started cleaning up their mess. Sophie looked after the door though, feeling almost bad for him. Keyword there: almost.
~3 days later~
Sophie had been fidgety all day, pacing back and forth through the apartment. Nate sat at the table sipping a fresh mug of coffee. He had given up trying to get her to relax about 5 minutes after she walked in the door. It was question after question, worry after worry, nothing but endless talking. The rest of the team was sitting on the couch talking about each of their own little things. After about an hour the kids started getting restless and started watching Sophie as she paced around the apartment. This went on for about 30 dragging minutes before Nate made his way over to an armchair and turned the TV on. It distracted him for 10 minutes and then he started nervously walking around fixing things around his apartment. After an hour of dead silence, Sophie's phone rang. She practically dropped her phone in haste to answer it.
"Yeah?"
"Okay Soph, we got the test results back."
"Uh-huh."
"I don't think you're gonna like the news," Sara's voice was bleeding worry.
"Who is it Sara?" Sophie practically yelled.
"Nate Ford. That guy you came in with."
Sophie went completely still. That wasn't possible. It wasn't true. It couldn't be true. Her eyes were black and wide in shock. Her back was pin-straight and her stance stiff.
"Sophie are you there? SOPHIE!" Sara yelled.
"I'm here," She replied evenly.
"Uh-oh."
"Thank you Sara you've been most helpful," Sophie said so smoothly it was almost frightening. The line went dead and Sophie dropped her phone to ground causing the back to fall off and the screen to crack.
A/N 2: Yeah, Nate being the father is cliché blah blah blah. Whatever. Reviews would be appreciated though.
