A drabble about Zane confessing something to Johan.
Zane stood at the foot of the stairs. He had just called Johan down from his office where the bluenette had been busy filling out adoption papers. Johan slowly made his way down the stairs. "Zane? What do you mean? I thought we wanted to adopt…," that's when he caught sight of the bundle in Zane's arms, "Zane, what's that?"
Zane looked down at the bundle and then back up to Johan, "Remember about nine months ago when you cheated on me and I left for a couple of days?" Johan nodded. "Well, I had decided that since you had cheated on me I would cheat on you. And she told me she was taking the pill but…Johan, meet my daughter," Zane finished lamely and held the bundle out to Johan.
Johan's eyes narrowed, "Your daughter? Zane, what did you do?" Zane brought the bundle back into his arms and looked down at her, "I knocked up my one night stand." Johan turned around and stormed into the kitchen and Zane followed him. "Why did you take her?! Why didn't her mother want her?" Johan fumed. "She just showed up on my doorstep and handed her to me. What was I supposed to do? Leave her on the porch? She's my daughter, Johan," Zane retorted. Johan spun back around to face Zane, "Are you sure of that? Did you get a blood test?" "No, I haven't but I will if you want me too," Zane replied. "Do it," Johan stated and sat in a stool. "Hold her while I make the phone call," Zane said and handed to bundle to Johan.
Zane walked over to the otherside of the kitchen where the phone was at and dialed the number for the local hospital, figuring they could direct him where he needed to go. Johan grabbed the child and wrapped his arms around her. At first he wouldn't look at her but then she made a cooing sound and he was forced to look down. His eyes met with her and they melted. She was beautiful. She looked exactly like Zane, minus the red hair. She smiled at him and reached a hand up towards his face, clenching and unclenching her fist, trying to grab at him. Johan brought his hand up and put a finger in her fist, she gripped it and giggled.
Zane turned back around to the two of them after hanging up the phone. "Done, I've scheduled an appointment for tomorrow….Johan?" Zane finished his sentence in a question because Johan had just looked up at him with tears in his eyes. "She's beautiful," Johan said, "Let's keep her." Zane shook his head and sat down next to Johan, wrapping an arm around him, "So we don't need those adoption forms." Johan leaned into Zane and looked back down at the girl, "No we don't." Zane followed Johan's gaze and looked down at his daughter. "She needs a name," he said and Johan instantly replied with "Crystal. Her name is Crystal."
