A/N YaY! Longest chapter I've written yet! Thanks for all the review they were awesome! Let me know what you think about the chapter!

Chapter 4

"The good news is at least now I know I may not be laying an egg," Kate said, trying to lighten the mood.

"What?" Declan asked, very confused.

"Never mind. Can I go now?" Kate asked, shaking her head, after another very long awkward pause.

"Yes. I wouldn't look in to getting maternity clothes just yet. You won't need those until you start showing. Just buy your clothes a size or two bigger or even more sweats just something that you will be comfortable in," Magnus said, as she went to her desk and got a set of car keys.

"Yeah I will thanks," Kate said, as she took the keys.

Kate walked out the door and was heading for the garage when Biggie stepped in front of her startling her.

"I'm going to put a bell on you," she growled, stepping around him.

"Where are you going?" he grunted, following her.

"I've got to go to the mall my pants don't fit any more," she huffed, turning around to face him.

"You want a ride?" he asked.

"Nope," she said, jingling the keys in front of him.

"Ok, be careful," he grunted.

"Why because I'm pregnant?" she asked, angrily.

"No because I've seen you drive," he smirked.

"Ha Ha I'll be back in time for dinner dad," she said, sarcastically as she rolled her eyes and then continued to the garage.

"Don't forget to buckle up," he called, after her.

He grinned when he heard her frustrated sigh.

Magnus Office

Magnus took a good look at Declan for the first time since he arrived. He was pale with dark circles under his eyes like hehadn't been sleeping well. There was at least a day's worth of stubble on his face. With a heavy sigh Magnus sat down across from Declan.

"Declan I'm sorry…" Magnus started, but stopped when she saw him tense.

She gently laid her hand over Declan's interlaced fingers.

Declan's eye's shot up from the imaginary spot he had been staring at.

"Everyone has been so preoccupied with Kate…"

"Rightfully so," Declan interrupted.

"How are you handling this situation? It concerns you as much as Kate," Magnus asked.

"Declan please," Magnus said, squeezing his hand when he didn't look at her.

When Declan looked up his eyes were filled with self-loathing and pain.

"I can't get my head around what's happened. I don't understand how I could have… and now she's pregnant with my baby," his voice was very quiet.

"No one blames you, Declan. Neither one of you were in control of your actions that night," Magnus said, firmly.

"I just wish I could remember," he whispered.

"I plan on running more tests on the lizard maybe it can give us more answers," she

She watched him try to cover a yawn with a cough.

"Why don't you go try to get some rest while it's quite around here. I'm going to need you alert and on your toes around here until Kate is back on the mission list," Magnus said.

"I'm fine I can help out with whatever you need me to do," he said, determinedly as he stood up.

"Go rest," she said, just a determined.

She smirked when he sighed defeated and left the room.

At the mall

Kate was starving by the time she got the mall. Her first stop was to the food court she ordered some Chinese food and went and sat down. She quickly glanced around. She couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. She smiled and shook her head when she spotted a small boy staring at her, she wondered if paranoia was part of pregnancy. He had big brown eyes and a cute little face she guessed he was about two years old. An older boy was chatting away to their mother who was not paying attention to her youngest child dropping food on the floor and staring a hole into Kate. Kate quickly finished her food and went to get her jeans.

"Can I help you find something?" a blonde lady asked, as Kate walked in to the store.

"No thanks I'm fine."

It took Kate a couple of hours but she found some jeans, shirts and sweats that she liked. She paid for the items and headed for parking garage. She had just gotten out of the elevator when she felt like she was being watched again. She quickly made her way to the car and pressed the button to unlock the door opened the back door and threw the bags onto the back seat and shut the door. She quickly removed the gun she had stashed in her purse when she heard someone coming up behind her. She quickly spun around but lost her balance and her hold on the gun. The gun slid towards the man behind her in the hood and mask who already had a gun pointing at her.

"Nice try lady," he chuckled.

"Alright leave your purse in the car and hand me the key."

"Yeah right," she said, as she tried to kick the gun out of his hand but still being slightly dizzy she was unable to and he grabbed her foot and flung her to the ground.

She grunted landing hard on her back. He bent down punched her in the face and tried to kick her in the stomach but she moved and he caught her in the ribs. He then grabbed the car key and drove off in Magnus's car.

She was still sitting on the ground when the woman from the food court with the two kids rushed up pushing a stroller.

"Hey are you ok?"

"No my car got stolen."

"Alright I'm calling the cops. I hate this parking garage it's not safe," she said, pulling out her cell phone.

"Boo boo," said the little boy, that had been staring at her.

"Why you lip bleeding?" asked the older boy.

"She fell down sweetie," said the mom, as she handed Kate a baby wipe.

"Thanks," she said, taking the wipe and dabbing her lip.

"The police are on the way and so is an ambulance."

"I'm fine really," Kate said, but when she tried to stand her ribs protested and she sat back down breathless.

"Is there someone I can call for you?"

"No I'll do it."

At the Sanctuary

Magnus was surprised at how calm it was around there. The abnormals were doing ok, Will and Henry were working on things for her, Kate was at the mall, Declan was asleep and Big Guy was dusting. She looked at her door when she heard knocking.

"Come in"

"Hey I'm actually turning in my reports on time," Will said, proudly as he sat the folders on her desk.

"Well done. Thank you, I was just thinking about how calm it was around here.

"I guess we need it right now with Kate," he said.

"And I'm glad Declan seems to finally be resting also," she said

"What's wrong with Declan?"

Magnus was about to answer when her phone rang. It was Kate's number.

"Hello"

She waited a few seconds and tried again.

"Hello, Kate?"

"Magnus," Kate said softly.

"Yes, Kate are you alright?"

"I'm so sorry I tried to fight him but…"

"What happened? Who did you try to fight? Kate where are you?" Magnus asked, her voice rising with worry.

Will was now frowning he did not like the sound of that at all.

"I'm in the Mall's parking garage a guy came up with a gun he … he took your car Magnus I'm sorry," Kate said, breathing heavily.

"I have more cars Kate are you alright?"

"I'm fine," she said, trying to keep the pain out of her voice.

"I'll be right there."

"Is Kate ok?" Will asked, worried.

"No her car got stolen. I think she tried to fight the guy off she didn't sound well," Magnus said, as hurried out of her office.

"So much for calm," Will mumbled, as he hurried after her.

Magnus pulled up behind the police car and quickly got out of the car.

"Sir, Ma'ma you can't come in here," a young officer said, stopping them from approaching the crime scene

"I'm Dr. Helen Magnus and this is Will Zimmerman, Kate Freelander called us and told us that her car had been stolen. We would like to see her please," Magnus said, impatiently.

"She's in the ambulance."

"Thank you," Will said, and went to speak to some of the other officers, as Magnus hurried towards the ambulance.

Magnus opened the door of the ambulance to see the EMT help Kate sit up on the stretcher.

"I found a good strong heart beat but I would still have your OB check you out. Go to the ER if you start cramping or bleeding. Are you sure you don't want us to take you to have your ribs x-rayed?" asked the dark haired EMT.

"No I'm fine," Kate demanded.

"I'll take her," Magnus said letting he presence known.

"Magnus," Kate said, with a small smile.

"Who are you?" ask the EMT.

"I'm her boss. I'll make sure she gets the medical attention she needs," Magnus said, as she helped Kate off the ambulance.

"Here you need to sign these release paper," the EMT said, handing Kate a clip board.

Magnus took a good look at Kate once she was off the ambulance. Her lip was spilt and she could see her ribs were wrapped she was anything but fine like the stubborn woman in front of her insisted.

"So you didn't get a look at the man that took your car?" Will asked, walking up to them.

"Are you ok," Will asked, once he saw the pained look on Kate's face.

"I'm…,"

"No by the way she breathing I say she has some cracked ribs," Magnus interrupted.

"I'm fine and no I didn't see the guy's face he was wearing a mask and hood. He came up pointed a gun at told me to give him the car I told him go to hell. I tried to kick him and lost my balance he threw me to the ground punched me and kicked me and then took the car. Can we go home now?" Kate demanded, her voice rising.

Her emotions were going full force. She was trying to keep up her usual tough self act but she was quickly losing the battle her whole body ached and she worried that she had hurt her baby but what scared her the most was that she could not defend herself like she used to. She felt like standing there crying but she would never let them see her do that.

"Yeah you just have to sign some papers first. I'll go get them," Will said.

Magnus could see the poor woman was about to break.

"Kate, do you want to go sit in the car while Will gets the paper work?" Magnus asked, softly.

Kate nodded.

Kate slowly got herself into the car trying not to show how much it hurt. Will walked up to the car and handed Kate a clip board with the forms she needed to sign.

Will and Magnus cast worried glances at Kate.

Will quickly returned the papers and they headed home.

Magnus casually glanced into the review mirror when they heard small sniffles come from the back seat and Will turned up the radio trying to give Kate some privacy. Kate had calm down by the time they made it to the Sanctuary and the only sign that she had been crying were puffy eyes. She slowly got out of the car and shut the door.

"Kate I know that you are tired and in a lot of pain but I need to examine you," Magnus said, firmly ready for the young woman to fight her.

"Fine," Kate grumbled, and headed for the infirmary.

This really did worry Magnus and Will now that Kate wasn't even trying to put up a fight anymore.

Infirmary

"I'm going to give you something for the pain and don't worry it want hurt the baby," Magnus said, and then gave Kate a shot.

Magnus tried to make the exam quick and painless as possible for Kate. The x-ray showed that she did have a cracked rib so Magnus rewrapped her ribs. She then did an ultrasound to make sure that the baby indeed had a strong heartbeat and everything looked good. Besides the bruises and ribs Kate was very lucky. Magnus had let Kate stay quite while examining her but now she needed answers.

"Kate why didn't you just let the thief take the car?" Magnus asked, confused.

"You wouldn't have," she snapped.

"I'm not pregnant," Magnus said forcefully.

"So I can't defend myself now that I'm pregnant?" she asked shocked.

"That's not what I'm saying but Kate you know your body is off right now. You get dizzy and your reactions times are slower which will all go away with time but you have to keep in mind that your sharing your body now Kate. What you did today was very dangerous for you and the baby" Magnus fussed.

"I know I just reacted! I thought about the baby the minute I hit the ground and he tried to kick me in the stomach. That's how he got my ribs I moved," Kate said, desperately.

"Just try to be more carefully. Now go get some rest," Magnus said, gently.

Kate's room

Kate had been trying to sleep but it just wasn't working. Despite the pain medicine she was given it still hurt to lay on her back and she hated that she had to lay on her left side so she was just very uncomfortable. She heard a knock on the door.

"What," she snapped.

"Hey were you asleep?" Henry asked, coming in with a food tray.

"No I'm too uncomfortable I hate sleeping on my left side and my back's to bruise to lay on," she moaned, as she tried to sit up.

"Here let me see if I can help," he said and then left the room.

He came back with two more pillows. He sat the pillow she was laying on up against the head board and had her scoot back where she was sitting up some. Then he took another pillow and tucked it on one side of her and then another on the other side. He then had her lay on her side while he tucked the last pillow under her back and she rolled back over. She was now lying on soft pillows from all sides it didn't hurt so bad.

"Better?"

"Yes thank you! How did you know how to do this?" she asked, baffled.

"I've been hurt a couple of times," he shrugged, turning red.

"You missed dinner so I brought you a sandwich. You have to keep my niece or nephew healthy and growing," he said grinning as he put the tray in front of her.

"Thank you," she said, smiling.

"Oh Magnus put a pain pill in this little cup after you eat and this pill is for nausea so hopefully you want get morning sickness tomorrow and hurt your ribs," Henry repeated, what Magnus had told him.

"And this is in case the pill doesn't work so you want have to rush to the bathroom," he said, moving the trash can beside her bed.

"Thanks Hank"

"Night," he said as he closed the door.
