"Hey Scott," Cosima said dryly into her phone.

"Again? It's three days in a row..."

"Must be a bug," she lied.

"Is the bug Dr Leekie? I know about him and Delphine."

"What about them?"

"They must be getting married. He asked me her ring size."

"Why didn't he just ask his little wifey?" She snapped.

"She hasn't been in either."

"Delphine? She's never been sick!"

"She's been sick for three days."

"What could keep her from work?" Cosima wondered.

Delphine sighed as she moved to her door. Her head hurt and she just wanted to make the knocking stop.

"Miss Cormier?" The delivery man smiled.

"It's Doctor Cormier," she frowned.

"I have a delivery for you. The assembly men should be around shortly."

"Assembly?"

"For the crib," he pointed to the box, with an overly expensive crib.

Her phone rang and across the screen blinked ALDOUS LEEKIE (17). She frowned, seventeen missed calls and he still didn't realize she had nothing to say to him.

She shouldn't have lied or even hinted about a pregnancy. She wanted to stay alive, not be by his side. She didn't expect him to be excited by this. His reaction only nauseated her more.

The phone rang again, the chatter incessant. She sighed, but stopped when she saw Cosima's name flash across the screen.

"Cosima," she said softly. "I need to talk to you."

"No! You don't!" Cosima snapped. "I called you because I need to talk to you!"

"Perhaps we could talk to each other, hmm? It doesn't have to be one or the other..."

"Fine." Delphine smiled, Cosima was angry, it was obvious. Still, she found it cute. Cosima reminded her of a toddler on the verge of a tantrum.

They agreed to meet up for a hike somewhere secluded. Cosima gave her the information for a park that she knew wouldn't be very crowded.

Delphine arrived, wearing grey leggings that showed off her tiny legs. She had a white ribbed tank top and a baby blue cardigan. Her outfit wasn't quite hiking but it didn't stand out. Cosima wore a pair of khaki shorts that were so long that Delphine wondered if they were men's. She had a tie dyed tank top and a black infinity scarf. Delphine smiled, realizing that neither of them could pass as hikers.

"You had no right to do that!" Cosima raised her voice the minute Delphine approached. Delphine stayed silent. Cosima had built everything up for days and after what Delphine had accused her of, Delphine deserved the words. "I can't believe you could ever accuse me of betraying you! You were at the bar and drugged! Did you realize? They drugged you, Delphine! Scotty is still trying to run tests because we don't know what they gave you! And you run back to Dr Leekie?"The mention of his name made tears spill from Delphine's eyes but Cosima was too far gone to realize. "He asked Scott your ring size?! That's it, then? You're being reassigned from monitor to wife? Did you think about your job? Your intellect? The people you-" she stopped, unable to say the words.

She stopped, realizing that Delphine's cheeks were stained the the silent tears she hadn't wiped off. She sighed, feeling guilty over her freak out.

"I never thanked you," Delphine whispered, smiling sadly.

"What?"

"I never thanked you. You stayed with me that night, even when I was throwing up. You actually rubbed my back as I threw up, didn't you?"

"You remember," she whispered, amazed. "And when you went to Leekie?"

"I had to keep us both safe. He believes I'm pregnant," she explained, knowing it would hurt Cosima. Still, she needed to be honest with her.

"So you slept with him."

"Not the day I left you. But I have in the past, yes." She bit her lip nervously. She didn't need to study Cosima to know. The reaction was obvious. This changed everything.
