(Drown together – Sentenced)

Her palms were resting in her knees. He was eating his nails, sweating like if it was August in the middle of November. Both were extremely nervous. It was THE appointment, in capital letters, the one which would let them know about the unexpected baby.

The waiting room was crowded. Happy couples everywhere. Some were expecting their first child. Other had come with all their children for the first eco of the seventh mommy baby. Greg, aware of the situation, took one of Catherine's hands into his.

"Don't worry, everything will be ok" he whispered softly.

She made the attempt to smile but her lips only curved a little. Greg was, to her, a fallen angel from heaven.

"Willows?" a nurse asked

She stood up without answering to the nurse followed by Greg. But then, a hand in the shoulder stopped him.

"Mr…"

"Saunders" he said

"Mr. Saunders, Could you please fill Ms. Willows report, please?"

Greg nodded. They all were general questions and he knew Catherine like the palm of his hand to answer them all with eyes closed. It was the last question that bothered him. "Name of the father" it said. 'Stupid question' thought Greg. 'I'm sure they don't believe every woman that comes here is pregnant'.

He took his time. Leave the question blank was the easiest think to do but…. He had sworn to Catherine he would be there for her forever… He had promised her, he would take care of everything…. Did that include the baby? How would it feel that child if he or she had no father at all? Only an uncle Greg… Unconsciously he had already filled the blank. Next to the word father stood his full name.

He gave the report to the receptionist.

"Can I go in now?... I would like to be with her"

"Sure. Follow me"

The nurse leaded the way and knocked softly on the doctor's door.

"Ms. Willows, Mr. Saunders would like to be with you"

"Let him in. I need him"

He felt a smile growing. He liked the sound of these kind of words being said by Catherine.

He entered, sat by her side and took her hand.

"How are you feeling?"

"Fine. Doctor Jefferson has just confirmed my pregnancy" Her face draw a sad smile.

"So.. you're goin' to be a mom…. Again"

"Yes… I think so… I still have time to think about…."

He stopped her putting a finger on her lips. She closed her eyes feeling the soft skin of Greg's hand in her cheek.

"Don't think… we'll take care of everything together."

"Have you had troubles answering the questions?"

Greg had completely forgotten about them. Doubts invaded his mind. He had answered to everything. Should he tell Catherine? Probably not right then.

"Everything is done. You don't have to worry".

They melt into an embrace that would have lasted forever if it hadn't been for the doctor's interruption.

"I'm sorry… Ms. Willows, as I've told you, you are nearly into your third month of pregnancy. I'm going to give you some pills for the morning sickness and you'll need to schedule another appointment for the next month."

"Is everything ok?... with her I mean."

"Mr. … " Doctor Jefferson took a look into the papers in front of him "… Saunders, both, Ms Willows and the baby are fine"

"When will we know the sex of the baby?" he asked again

"Later…. In the second term of pregnancy"

"Good, good"

He didn't notice it but Catherine was looking at him smiling widely. This was a side of Greg she never got tired of seeing. A Greg nervous like a child and with the same innocence but trying to act as an adult. An enthusiastic and loving Greg.

Later, he drove Catherine home and during the entire trip his hand rested protectively on Catherine's belly.
