2 months later.
One week after the curse incident, Maxine had gotten her period, so we knew she wasn't pregnant. But here; one month later, I was feeling sick.
So here I was, standing in the washroom stall, with a pregnancy test at hand.
Maxine had told me I had the symptoms of a pregnant woman (morning sickness, craving s of peanut butter and pickles and Oreos).
'Why am I peeing on a stick? I'm a guy. Stupid Max and her paranormal theories.'
3 minutes later…..
I held in a scream. "Max!" I hissed through the door.
"Ryan! Hurry up! I can't stand out here forever!"
"Max! Meet me in your lab, in… five minutes."
"Ry!"
"Max! Just Go!"
"Maxine? Why are you talking to the guy's washroom?" I heard Calleigh ask.
"Oh, um…I…"
I shoved the pregnancy test in my pocket and opened the door, "Hey Cal," I said.
"Hey Ryan."
"So you wanna show me that thing in the DNA lab, Valera?"
"Uh yeah," she said as she almost sprinted to the DNA lab.
"Well I'll see you later Cal."
"Bye, Ryan," she said as she walked to the Ballistics lab.
"Ryan! What the HELL! So? Was my theory right?"
"Well… I need to see a doctor."
"I'm coming! I'm gonna be a…Mother! Father. Parent?"
"Oh God!"
"How are you going to breast feed?"

Eric had just finished his lunch, and went to the men's room to wash his hands. While he was rinsing his hands he noticed something in the trash bin. It was a box, a rectangular white and blue box. After drying his hands he reached down and pulled it out. He nearly dropped the box when he read "Clear blue pregnancy test". Eric dropped the box and ran out of the room, he checked the sign which said men on it. While Eric stood outside the restroom Sam the new AV tech walked by.
"Hey Eric," said Sam only to stop when he didn't reply. "Eric?" she said tapping him on the shoulder.
Eric snapped out of his thoughts when he felt something on his shoulder. Turning around he saw Sam, "Hey Sam, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"This is the men's room right?"
"Yeah, why are you asking?"
"No reason, no reason at all. Bye Sam." Said Eric before turning around and entering the restroom again.
"And CSI's think the lab rats are strange," Sam said to herself.
The lab rats had heard of a lot of weird cases, like the college teacher who was murdered and tied up in a tree or the one where the witness said he was part werewolf. But by far the weirdest thing that was being said was that Eric Delko was walking around with the garbage from the men's room.
Eric had walked to ballistics hoping to find Calleigh, and from the sounds of it she was there. Eric slipped in closing the door behind him; he waited there while Calleigh fired off a few rounds. Calleigh had just finished testing out a gun when she heard Eric call her name.
"Eric," she said placing a hand on her chest, "you scared me."
"Sorry, I need to ask you something."
"If it's about your results it's going to have to wait I'm swamped today and -"
"It's about us," interrupted Eric.
"Oh," her voice filled with disappointment.
"No not us, us. It's about the other night us."
"So you're not breaking up with me?" asked a slightly confused Calleigh.
"God no, I love us dating. What I'm talking about has to do with the other night, after dinner."
"Oh, you weren't half bad by the way." said Calleigh with smile.
Eric turned five shades of red when she said that. "I need to know, are you…"
"Am I what?"
"Are you? You know…"
"Eric what are you talking about?"
"Are you… pregnant?"
When the words left his mouth Calleigh nearly fell over laughing. Eric looked down at the floor and waited for her to calm down. "So you're not?"
"No, Eric I am not pregnant."
"Thank god."
Calleigh immediately looked at Eric and said. "You don't want to have kids with me?"
Eric didn't know what to say, he just stood there. Calleigh tried to keep the look of sorrow on her face, but couldn't. Instead she smiled at the way Eric acted, he was looking at the floor trying while mumbling.
"Eric why would you think I'm pregnant?"
"Because I found this." Eric walked over to her and gave her the pregnancy test box. Calleigh pulled out a pair to rubber gloves and picked it up.
"Where did you find this?"
"The men's room."
Calleigh reached over and grabbed an evidence bag, in which she dropped the box in. Then she walked to the door and said. "Are you coming Eric?"
Together Eric and Calleigh left ballistics and headed to fingerprints. Dr. Granger's office
"Hey Maxine. So what are you and your friend here for?"
"Oh of course! Ryan, Dr. Lillian Granger; Lil, Ryan Wolfe he's my co-worker and boyfriend."
"I am?"
"No Wolfe. I just sleep with you for fun."
"Well we haven't actually talked about it …"
"Anyway; he's pregnant."
"Maxine, he's a guy."
"I know! We did have sex..."
"Max. Let me explain. 2 months ago I dealt with a case where I was 'cursed'. I went home and she reassured me I was fine and that if anything the night she wouldn't get pregnant."
"So, she's pregnant?"
"No, about a month later she got her period, aka not pregnant. But recently I started having symptoms of a pregnant woman. So Max suggested I take a pregnancy test and I did."
"You're a brave man."
"Thank you. Anyway… It… it came out positive. So what now?"
"Well Mr. Wolfe, Maxine; you're going to be parents-if you decide to keep the child, that is."
"Well um… are you sure? Like what if it was wrong?"
"Those things are normally right - right Lil?"
"Yeah. Well, why don't we do an ultrasound? Are you two okay with that?"
"Sure, as long as this gets sorted out."
"How will Ryan go through labour?"
"He won't, it'll have to be a sectarian."
"But-I'll have a scar," I said all-of-a-sudden not to happy.
"I'll give you an oil to make if fade, don't worry. Or you can get laser surgery…"
"I'll think about it."
"Anyway, her is the name of a clinic that'll take care of your…isu – cris - thing."
"Okay."
