After Sean got over the shock of receiving a phone call from Kate, the one person he'd never thought he'd never hear from again or at least in a long while, Sean had to come up with some sort of excuse to leave without anyone wanting to come along.

"Ur, I have to duck out," Sean said to the open air.

"Whatever!"

Sean nodded and managed to get away from the garage alone. With a million thoughts running through his head, Sean drove slowly to the airport. The main thought that was what was Kate doing back here?

Sean arrived a few moments later at the entrance of the airport and slowed right down as he went through the airport car parking, dodging people left and right. He searched everywhere before spying Kate by the entrance slash exit of the actually airport. He pulled up and got out to help her put her bags in the back of car.

Deciding to be a gentleman (for once), he opened the door for her. She smiled at him – the first smile in a long while. She climbed in and Sean shut the door for her. He rounded the car and jumped back into the driver's seat. When he got back he noticed just how tired she looked; she looked exhausted and stressed, like the weight of the world was on her shoulders.

"Where too?"

"I'm booked in at a hotel a few blocks down," she told him as she relaxed into her seat.

She gave him the hotel name and Sean knew exactly where he was heading. He rolled up at the hotel and parked it slowly. He turned to speak to Kate and found her sound asleep; it had only been like a five minute drive. Gathering that she truly was exhausted, he decided to let her sleep. He left her in the car to sleep, Sean locked the car and he ran inside to get her room key. He came back out with her key, unlocked the car and left her carefully out of the car. She hardly stirred and he was surprised at how light she was, because though she wasn't a large girl, he did expect her to weight something. Strategically he balanced her and unlocked her room and carried her inside to her room.

Sean put her on the bed and then went back out to get her bags from his car. By the time he re-joined her in the bedroom, she was awake, very sleepy but awake. Kate gave him a small smile and sat up in bed slowly with one hand, the other on her stomach. Sean found that odd but let it slide.

Her smile disappeared as she went slightly pale and she shot out of bed. She raced straight to the bathroom, going straight past Sean. Concerned, Sean dropped the bags by the bed and followed her to the bathroom. Seeing her "worshiping" the toilet, he found himself eager to help her out; he knew she never got drunk to the point of being sick so he was truly worried about her.

He lent down and pulled her hair from her face, holding it back for her. Five minutes later, Kate pulled back and slid away from the toilet. Sean helped her stand and Kate moved to the sink. Turning on the tap, she cupped her hands under the water and washed out her mouth with her hands. Sean knowing where this was going went and got her overnight bag for her.

Kate took her toothbrush and toothpaste from the bag and brushed her teeth, her cheeks and tongue thoroughly. After rinsing her mouth out again, she turned to Sean who through all of this, had managed remained quiet. She sighed as Sean gave her a look.

"Help me to the bed and I'll explain,"

Sean being the Texan gentleman he was picked her up – causing her to squeal in surprise – and carried her to the bed. He placed her down carefully and then sat down beside her.

"So why ya back?" his Texan accent coming through strongly.

"Long story short, I'm pregnant and Han is the father,"

Sean's jaw dropped and he shook his head, not believing what she was saying. He dropped to the bed and tried to wrap his mind around what she had just told him. It was a hard thing to do…

"You're pregnant?" Sean asked for the third time in ten minutes as he watched Kate pace back and forth.

She had been pacing for the last twenty minutes and still didn't know what she was going to do or say. He'd been saying you're pregnant for the same amount of time.

"You're pregnant," Sean said again. "How can you be pregnant?"

"You do know what men and women do when they're alone? When a mummy and daddy loves each other very much they-"

"I know what happens with sex," he said chuckling.

His chuckling caused her to glare at Sean.

"Sean you're not exactly helping,"

Sean shrugged and then relaxed on the bed. He honestly didn't see what the problem was. All she had to do was tell the truth to Han, tell him that he was going to be a baby daddy (instead of being a sugar daddy) and then they could live happily ever after. What was the problem?

"Whatcha want me to say? I think ya should just go 'n tell Han the truth,"

"And then what? What if Han doesn't want me or this baby?"

Her hands moved to her stomach and gently rubbed her stomach. Sean watched surprised at how soft she was; it wasn't like she was a hard or mean person but before she hadn't let others see her softer side. Now she was willing showing it and to him, not just Han.

"Then go back to James; didn't that bloke say he'd marry ya?"

She frowned at him and then went back to pacing. She knew this sort of stress wasn't good for the baby but she couldn't help herself from thinking about what Han would do. Finally she collapsed on the bed.

"Tomorrow I'll tell Han," she said deciding it was the best course of action. "Then either I stay or I hop on the next plane back to Australia,"

Sean nodded, kinda understanding.

"Ya sure? 'Cause once ya say somethin', ya can't take it back. And it won't be fair on either men if you change your mind,"

"I'm sure, it's the only choice I have at the moment,"

Sean stayed for a little longer before getting a text from Han for a delivery. This left Kate by herself and she began to pace again.

"Okay, this is ridiculous," she muttered to herself.

Collapsing on the bed, she got under the covers and turned on the T.V. It wasn't long before she went to asleep…
