Disclamer: I OWN NOTHING. BUT SINCE THEY ARE CANCELING THE SHOW I MIGHT BUY IT AND IT WILL BE MINE! HAHAHAHA

Slowly the rain started to fall. First one drop then two. In just a matter of a few minutes it started pouring, Steve put the wipers on fast and even with that it had hard to see. I looked back and saw that Dakota was starting to wake up. It was about five o' clock. We had two more hours. "Steve, we need to stop for dinner." I reminded him. I turned around in my seat, so I could look back at Dakota. I reached back and shook her leg to try and to wake her up. Her eyes slightly fluttered open but she quickly closed them. I shook her leg once more before her eyes fully opened. Wit a giggle, she quickly closed them. " I know you are wake." I said as I leaned over the top if the seat and tickled Dakota. Dakota laughed wildly as she tried to pull my hands off her waste.

"Claudia, sit back down." Jinkys said. Glaring at him I sat back down correctly in my seat. " What if we got in a crash? You could have been seriously hurt."

"Well, Mr. Poopypants that did not happen. And why do you have to be all uptight? We were just having fun." Steve was a great guy and all but he needs to have fun. He is way to serious. "Dakota, where would you like to eat?" I asked, wanting to change the topic. "Um...lets have taco's." She said after a while of thinking. I told that it was a perfect idea and then searched for the nearest places that sold tacos and set the Pirus's coordinates to it.

During Dinner

Dakota was about half way do with her third. I had only finished about half of my salad. "Dakota and Pete will get along just fine" Steve leaned over and said to me. I nodded my head and slowly continued eating. I as in a daze. Everything around me was going in fast motion. Dakota finished eating and we payed for the dinner and before I could even truly process anything we were in the car driving down the freeway. There was no really reason for this daze. The whole ride back to the warehouse Steve and Dakota talked. "Steve did you know that my birthday is in about a month? It is in September, which is next month." Dakota told Steve.

"That's really great Kota." Steve told her as he turned into the exited that lead to Univille. We would be at the warehouse in about thrity minutes. I looked at the clock and it read seven o' clock, and if on queue the fransworth started to go off. I quickly opened it. "You guys are late." Artie said. I rolled my eyes. "I am so sorry. We just got into Univille we will be there in about twenty to thirty minutes." I told Artie.

"Make it twenty." Artie said before closing his fransworth. I shut mine and placed it back in the cup holder. Then turned my head to glare and Steve. " This is all your fault. You drive to slowly and now Artie is pissed and he his going to be even madder." I basically yelled at Steve. I knew that it was really not his fault but I felt like blaming him and it mad me feel better. " Wow, Claude, calm down. He will be fine. Plus he is never mad at you for that long." Steve was right. I just need to calm my self and relax. Artie has never been truly mad at me for more then a day or so.

At the Warehouse

This was it, I was going to have to tell Artie about Dakota. Steve pulled into an open space. It looks like Pete and Myka were here. Which was possible a good thing. I would only have to explain this once. Steve turned off the car. My heat was beating way to fast. I slowly step out off the car. I opened Dakota's door and she hopped into my arms. I kicked the door close with my foot and headed to the door. I hand felt clammy and shaky. Once I got to the door, Steve opened it for me. Slowly we made are way though the umbilicus. It had to be the longest walk of my life. We were at the door to Artie's office when I lost it. "Steve, I can't do this, I can't."I turned around and started to walk off. Steve grabbed my arm and pulled me back. " Claude, I am right here. It will be okay. Trust me." I nodded my head. Steve opened the door and I walked into the office, which was empty. I sighed in relief. I walked over to the couch and set Dakota down. She landed down and closed her eyes and feel asleep almost instantly. I grabbed a blanket off the back of the couch and covered her with it. Now it was time to find Artie. "PETE! BE CAREFUL!" I heard Myka yell from outside the office. I slowly walked out to the the porch that was at the front of Artie's office. I looked back into the office and saw Steve standing by the couch which Dakota was laying on. I looked over the railing and saw Pete, Myka, and Artie standing by some shelves that I probably had done inventory on last week.

"Guys. We are back!" I yelled down at them. Myka looked up and waved and me. I waved back and then headed for the stairs. I ran down the stairs as quickly as possible and joined them. "So what are we doing down here?" I asked them. I was debating on weather to just go head and tell them about Dakota while we were down on the main area of the Warehouse or wait till we go back to the office. "We were just shelving the artifact." Pete told me. I nodded my head. " Um, when you guys get up to the office I have same some news." I said quickly before running back up the in the office, I sat down at the computer and check my E-mail. Steve was over in the kitchen area making some tea. I looked over every very minutes to see if Dakota was still sleeping. I hoped that she would stay asleep till after I told Artie and the others. After about thirty minutes I heard Pete and Myka and Artie walking up the stairs. I looked back at Steve who was on his laptop. My mind started to race with different ways this could play out, and non of them were good.

"Claudia, what did you ave to tell us." Myka said as she walked in the office. Pete and Artie were right behind her. I took a deep breath in and held it there for a while before I let it out. Once they were all in the office i slowly stood up and walked over to them. Steve walked over and stood by me.

"Please say you are not dating Steve." Pete said with a look of disgust.

"Oh god, no. Thats gross. Plus he's gay." I said as I punched Pete in the arm. "No I wanted you guys to meet my daughter."
