Pregnant

Lucy felt herself ready to faint. The dizzy, overwhelming feeling came over her the instant she saw that little blue line show up. No wonder she had been feeling sick.. she thought it had been that new restaurant she and Gru went to last weekend on their weekly date night; but nope.

She was pregnant.

"Lucy?" The sound of Margo's voice carried into the hall bathroom.

The new mother (well biologically) thew the stick back in its box and then stuffed it in the pharmacy bag. Then wrapped it up with a towel. All while she was trying to sound normal. "Hey sweetie! Sorry I'll be out in a second!" Another towel maybe? Hurriedly she kept the evidence wrapped up and went to open the door, looking down at the new teen with a very wide smile. "Was just um..getting laundry, yeah that's it."

Margo gave her a look of skepticism. Of course Lucy looked a mess with her hair down, her pajamas still on at one in the afternoon and a flush on her cheeks. "Are you feeling alright? It's like.. the fourth morning you've been sick!"

"Bad fish I'd suspect..." she kneeled down, her eyes darting back and forth as if they were being spied on. "I think someone's hunting your dad and me..."

"Lucy..." the girl crossed her arms. "As if. Tell me what's going on!"

The past year of marriage had been a very eventful one as far as growing closer to Gru's girls, so Lucy knew that once Margo had an idea in her mind she didn't give up. In fact she learned that the hard way when she was trying to be supportive to Gru and refused the girl a group trip to the mall that included boys. It only ended with Lucy having to play spy for a night with her husband. Not to say she didn't enjoy that rush again.

Lucy was about to cave in, her voice lowering to a whisper and her eyes staring into Margo's with a very serious stare. "..I...I just found out that I am pr—"

"There you are!"

The redhead almost screamed right there, but popped back up so quickly in shock that the bundle of towels fell down at her and Margo's feet. Gru approached with a mild look of concern. He likely had been down in his lab for the most of the morning, just now looking for his wife. "You're still feeling unwell?"

"Its.. That fish!" Her right hand pushed out, index finger drawn up to point at… well nothing. Dramatically she gave a sigh. "I refuse to eat there anymore, Gru!"

"..Food poisoning shouldn't last this long, Lucy."

"What are you, a doctor?" That was a bit unusual for Lucy. She never snapped at people, let alone her husband. Instantly she regretted it by the way he looked at her. "I mean, it's just. I know my body. And if I say it's the fish then it's the-"

"YOU'RE PREGNANT?!"

A dead silence came across the room. Very slowly Lucy looked down to the girl at her side, who was holding a box. That. Stupid. Box. Emerald eyes closed, taking a long and calming deep breath. When she opened them Lucy tried her best to give Gru a very pleased look before her voice managed a; "Yaaay?"

The man's eyes twitched and jaw dropped. "Whaaaat!?" Hands that had been behind is back reached up to his own face, ready to rub the sleep from his eyes as this surely was a dream. "Lucy- are you.. HOW DID DIS HAPPEN?"

His stance of crazed uncertainty would have usually made the woman smile. "You see, Gru. When one man and one woman really love one another-"

"Don't-no. No no no!" This time Gru was the one pointing, this time at a very excited Margo. "Not with her here!"

Lucy was about to chime in that Margo already found out about the 'birds and the bees' last semester but figured that would be a conversation for later. "Then you know how it happened, you were there. Now you can keep yelling about it or we can actually start thinking about what to do now." Even in her pajamas, Lucy put on a level of command by placing her right fist to her hip.

Gru placed both of his hands on his head, his voice low as he started to mumble incoherent words to himself. The other two in the hall could overhear a few words; "Another mouth… diapers… no sleep…"

Giving a side glance to Margo, Lucy shook her head. Moments ago she had been freaking out, sure. But this took the cake. The excited teen at her side seemed to understand, giving a soft giggle. "Margo, be a love and pick up the towels, I should take your dad to our room to talk… don't tell your sisters yet okay?"

The girl gave a nod, quickly helping with the task she was appointed. Lucy approached her husband just as he started to tighten his scarf, making the skin around his neck red. "Gru." Hands placed on his shoulders. "Just. Think of it as another mission!"

"A.… mission?" His eyes caught hers. While he seemed to still be unstable something about her eyes always made him pause.

The woman nodded. With a smile she leaned forward to kiss him on the tip of his nose. "Maybe not as important as saving the world; but something with an even better outcome."
