Hey guys! So sorry I know it has been awhile! Hope you like the new chapter! I also am now taking suggestions for the baby's name. Boy and girl, first and middle name. Just PM me with your suggestions! Also shout out to Wootar16 for helping me write this chapter! Thanks!
The elevator doors slide shut behind me and Sean. I hit the O button to go to operations. I was already nauseous enough from the morning sickness the last thing I needed was this nervousness tying more knots in my stomach. I took deep breaths, closed my eyes and went over in my head what I was going to say to her.
Nikita I am sorry, but I can't be in the field with you anymore or like ever…
Nikita I am sorry, but I am going to have to take a break from the Amanda hunt…
Nikita I am sorry, I am pregnant…..
Nikita I am sorry, I slept with my boyfriend and got knocked up…..
God nothing sounded right. They all started with I am sorry. Was I sorry to have this baby?
"Hey it's going to be fine." Sean said rubbing my back and kissing my forehead. I snuggled into his chest, breathing in his scent. It automatically called me down.
Before I had time to think of something else to say the elevator dinged and the doors opened. I took another deep breath and stepped out onto the concrete, Sean's arm wrapped tightly around my waist. Nikita waved from the Operations table. My stomach lurched and I turned to run back into the elevator, but Sean's powerful arm stopped me and the elevator doors shut.
"Damn it Sean." I half yelled at him.
"You have been putting this off for too long. And I am running out of excuses about why you aren't in the field. Alex it has been four weeks since you told me. "It's time." He said pulling me into another hug.
Suddenly I could feel 50 pairs of eyes on me. I cleared my throat and Sean pulled away. He chuckled, a little embarrassed, but took my hand and led me to the rest of the group.
"Hey Alex you're here. Feeling better?" Nikita asks calmly, but I can see the look of suspicion on her face.
"Yeah." I stutter a little. Sean gives me a reassuring look.
"Go on" he mouths at me. I shake my head.
"Let's give the girls some privacy shall we." Sean says. I grip his hand tighter. That was not part of the plan. He kisses me and then pries my fingers off of his.
"Glad to see you back." Michael says and kisses the top of my head. The door closes behind them.
"So where ya been?" Nikita says crossing the room towards me.
"Uh, around." I say avoiding her gaze. The room is silent enough to hear a pin drop. She looks like she wants to say something. The moment of silence lasts to long and I can't hold on to this secret anymore.
"I am pregnant." I blurt out and at the same time Nikita exclaims "Did you relapse?"
"What?" we both shout at the same time.
"You're pregnant?" Nikita gasps.
"You thought I relapsed?" I cry out.
"You first" we say at the same time again. I laugh a little and then she bursts out laughing. We sit there laughing until she pulls me into a big hug.
"Alex, that's great news. Sean is the father right?" she asks.
"Of course he is!" I say, tears streaming down my face. Relief floods through me. I am shaking uncontrollably now.
"Alex-"she is cut off by the Sean and Michael returning. Sean immediately rushes to my side.
'Alex, honey, are you okay?" he asks. "What did you say Nikita?'' He says, like he is ready for a fight.
"Nothing, Sean I am fine. It's these damn hormones." I blubber out.
"Hormones?" Michael asks, confuse. "Wait, Alex are you pregnant?" he asks.
I nod and Michaels face lights up.
"Alex that is so great! I am so happy for you!" he says pulling me into a hug. Michael had become like a father to me, so I couldn't help but be happy both my "parents" were happy with this news.
"Thanks." I say wiping the last of my tears away.
"If you have any questions I have been through this before." He says. His face goes blank as he remembers Elizabeth and Hayley.
"Excuse me." Nikita says quietly as she practically sprints from the room. Michael starts to go after her before I stop him.
"No let me handle this one." I say and I go after her. It takes me awhile, but I finally find her in an empty recruit room. She is sitting on the bed with her head in her hands. I sit down next to her.
"Hey, what was that?" I ask worried.
"It's nothing." She says lifting her head and wiping tears from her face. I had only seen Nikita cry a few times.
"This is obviously not nothing. Talk to me." I say.
"It's just….you saw Michael's face when you said you were pregnant. He was so happy. He wants kids so badly." She says tearing up again.
"And what you don't?" I ask.
"No I do, well I want kids for him, but we have been trying for months and nothing. I was late, so I thought maybe, but I took the test yesterday and it came up negative. All of them." She says putting her head into her hands again.
"Hey, it's okay. You have time." I say rubbing her back.
"I know. I just don't want to tell him I failed…..again." she says.
"Nikita you didn't fail. You will try again, Michael loves you. He will wait. Just talk to him. Right now let's just focus on getting Amanda." I say, trying to distract her. She picks her head up and smiles.
"I am really happy for you guys, I know I don't seem like it, but I am." She says pulling me into a hug. I breathe a sigh of relief.
"Nikita, I need to ask you, why did you think I relapsed?" I ask a little hurt she thought I was that weak.
"Oh! I am sorry about that, I know you're a strong girl, it's just you were out for weeks and Sean was always shifty and uncomfortable whenever we mentioned you…..so I just thought maybe." She stops herself.
"Oh. Okay." I say still a little hurt. She is about to say something when Michael knocks and opens the door.
"Hey there you guys-" he stops when he sees Nikita.
"Um you guys have some things to talk about so I will just give you guys some privacy. Sean and I have a doctor appointment anyways." I say giving them both a quick hug and Nikita a reassuring smile.

"This is dangerous." I say looking at all the people eyeing Sean. "It hasn't been long enough after Amanda framed you." I say quietly.
"I wouldn't miss this for the world." Sean says. This time when Jennifer calls me back Sean is right there with me squeezing my hand tight.
"Welcome back Alex. This must be the baby daddy." She says in her high pitched voice.
"David, nice to meet you." Sean says sticking out his hand.
"You know you look just like that guy from the news. Oh what's his name? The one how blew up that car." Jennifer says. Sean and I tense up. But she brushes it off and starts talking about how great I look for being ten weeks.
"We should be able to hear your baby's heartbeat today!" she says. The big goofy smile reappears on Sean's face.
Soon she gets the machine set up and the gel on and when she finally finds the right spot we can hear our baby's heartbeat.
"Wow." I say. Sean doesn't say anything but I swear I can see him wiping at the corners of his eyes. I thought in that moment, with my true love and what would soon be the new addition to our family, I couldn't be happier.
It was almost too good to be true.
Thoughts? Reviews are love!
P.S Can you guys believe Nikita is over! ): But the finale was soooo good right?!
