A/N: New chapter of this strange fic and strange pairing (i really love them). I'll try to update as soon as possible but i can't promise anything... I still haven't found the way i want to tell things. Thank you all for you reviews and for being with me in this paranoia.

I would give everything for a heart...

If i was king i would give away my kingdom...

They were sitting on the couch. Lindsay was in front of them, sitting on the coffe table, still astonished by the news.

"So... mom... you are going to be a mother... that meaning i'm goin' to have a little baby brother... or sister"

"Yes?" Cath simply said

Silence was akward. They couldn't look to each other directly to the eyes. It was a weird situation, certaninly not expected and not desired, but at the same time and somehow fascinating.

"Who is the father?" Lindsay asked shily. Catherine lowered her face avoiding her daughter's look. " Don't tellme the baby is from that bastard "

Catherine started to cry softly. She was ashamed to reconigze it. She was feeling like a teenager caught in the act... or something worse. Greg hadn't found his place in the whole conversation. Now it was time to play a part, a big part.

"Baby's mine" he said to Lindsay softly.

Lindsay felt relieved but not convinced. Catherine looked puzzled and Greg... well Greg was Greg.

"Greg, please, you don't have to... " Catherine started to say.

"Shhhh... when i told you i'd be there for you, i really meant it".

Greg took his time before starting to talk again.

"Linds...honey... from the moment your mother found she was pregnant i became, at all effects, the father of her unborn child"

"mmmm ... i see. Do you know what are you getting into?" Lindsay asked to him.

"I know... I am sure... I want to do it"

His left arm went to rest on Catherine's shoulders pressing her body into his. She was amazed. Her teenage daughter had taught her a lesson in maturity.

"You really don't know how lucky you are mom... i'm happy for you... " and then turning to Greg said "... both"

Later alone, Catherine reflected on the past events. She hadn't felt secure, like in Greg's arms, for a long time.

A/N: This is not beta-ed and i wrote it during and anthropology class... so it may be strange.
