AN: Alright so this one is fun. Not! Jerk didn't tell them about witness protection… shame shame! Anyway, so here we will be having Dave and Katie meeting with his editor and having dinner. Well Dave will be in a crap mood because he will be worried about the baby ending up like those girls. Maybe a dream at the end. And bear with me, but Katie will be in labor in Lo-Fi so I'm speeding up the timeframe here. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own Katie and the baby.

Katie smoothed the black dress down over her 4 month big baby bump. The dress was a knee length blue scoop neck that made her actually look beautiful. She had been doubting her looks and Dave knew. He had been trying to assure her that she was even more beautiful when she was carrying his child.

"He is such a liar" Katie mumbled as she looked at herself in the mirror. Doug, Dave's editor was going to see how big she was and knock some sense into Dave.

"I am not a liar. You are gorgeous, now help me with my tie please" he said, walking into the room from the bathroom, dressed in his suit, his tie hanging around his neck. Katie smiled and straightened it out, working to tie it around his neck. "Be careful or I'll start to think you don't like me" he said with a wink. Katie smirked and pulled his tie a little too tightly, causing his eyes to bug slightly.

"Not at all babe" she said patting his cheek gently before turning and walking towards where she left her shoes. Dave loosened his tie slightly and narrowed his eyes playfully.

"Right, you're just after my life insurance policy, aren't you? I can see right through you" he teased. Katie leaned down and frowned as she was having more difficulty.

"Trust me, if I was just after your life insurance, I wouldn't be having problems" Katie said, glaring at the baby bump again. Dave chuckled and moved to help Katie put her shoes on.

"Now now, no glaring at the innocent child in your stomach" he teased. When he looked up, he froze. Tears were coursing down Katie's cheeks and he had no idea why. "Babe what's wrong? Is it the baby? Is there something wrong with the baby?" he asked, slightly panicking.

"No, it's just" she paused, "I'm a horrible mother I mean, I'm glaring at the innocent baby. It hasn't even done anything and I'm taking my anger out on it" she cried. Dave wanted to laugh, but he knew that wouldn't help the situation.

"Oh babe, you aren't a horrible mother. Our child, our beautiful wonderful child, is growing and living in your stomach. You are an amazing mother babe" he said softly. Katie sniffled and looked at him questioningly. "You are taking care of that baby, it's just making life a little difficult right now" he said. Katie nodded.

"It's only going to get worse" she said. The tears were slowing down and Dave smiled at her softly.

"That's because our baby is going to be getting bigger, but you won't get any less beautiful" he vowed gently. Katie sniffed and looked him in the eyes.

"I'm sorry" she muttered. Dave smiled and stood up, pulling her gently into his arms.

"Nothing to be sorry about" assured her. Katie nodded and wrapped her arms around Dave, holding on to him gently. Dave held on and rocked her gently. "I love you" he whispered. Katie pulled back and kissed him gently.

"I love you too, but now that my meltdown is over, we are going to be late!" she said pulling away, rushing around to get things ready. Dave's chuckles could be heard even over Katie's cussing at him. It was his book after all.

A beautiful teenage girl with brown eyes and dark mahogany hair smiled at him. He smiled back, but the girl's beautiful smile suddenly faded and her eyes begged him for help.

"Daddy help me! Daddy!" she cried out. Dave stumbled forward, not gaining any ground. "Daddy" she screamed harder. She was looking around frantically, trying to get away from an unknown force. He couldn't help her. He couldn't help the girl. Then it hit him. She was calling to him. She was calling him daddy. "DADDY!"

"I'm coming princess!" he yelled, fighting to get to her. He had to get to his daughter. He had to save her from whatever was trying to hurt her. It was killing him that he couldn't get there. It was killing him to see the panic, the fear, in her eyes.

Dave jerked up in the bed, sweat pouring down his face and Katie looking at him worriedly. She ran her hand over his face.

"Dave?" she asked gently. Dave looked at her and pulled her into his arms, burying his face in her hair. "Talk to me" she demanded gently. Dave kissed her and held her as he cried. He was scared. What if they had a girl and he couldn't protect her? What if he couldn't protect either of them? Katie heard his breathing hitch and she pinched him lightly to bring his attention back to her. "Talk" she demanded again.

"The dream, more like a nightmare I guess, I was smiling at this teenage girl. Brown eyes, dark hair and she was so beautiful. Suddenly she was calling out for her father to help her. Well I realized she was calling out to me. She was so scared and terrified and she wanted her daddy. She wanted me to rescue her. I couldn't get to her. I couldn't help her and she needed me. What if we have a little girl and I can't be the father, the husband, you girls need me to be?" he asked. Katie sighed and held him close.

"You are the person we need you to be, boy or girl in my stomach. We love you and I know and the baby will learn that we come first. You would do anything as long as we were safe. That's never going to change" she said. Dave kissed her and sighed. She was right, but it still didn't mean that the dream hadn't scared him. "It was a dream and we are right here" she said, placing one hand on their child. Dave smiled lightly at her. He laid back down and pulled her in his arms, holding on tightly.

"Good, I'm glad" he said softly. Katie laid her head on his chest and sighed.

"Always" she replied. Dave kissed her head and laid listening to Katie's breathing evened out. He sighed and closed his eyes, his life and world safely in his arms for the night.
