Elle slowly sat up on the exam table, still trying to figure out how to deal with the shock and wonder of the news she had recieved. She slowly touched her stomach again, in awe of the little life that she now knew was growing in there. At least everything had appeared fine. Bee had given her some vitamins and told her to come back in four more weeks for another check.
She slowly reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out her communicator. She had to let Kay know about this. "It's alright, little one," she whispered as she punched a couple of buttons and waited for Kay to pick up. She hoped that he wasn't in the middle of anything important. "Daddy's going to be very happy to hear about you. Daddy is going to be thrilled." She silently crossed her fingers hoping that Kay was as happy about this as she was.
"Elle?" Kay said as he answered the communicator while keeping his weapon pointed right at Jeeb's head. Now why would she be..... Just then he remembered she was going to see Bee to get certified to return to duty. What if there was something wrong? His hand started to tremble a bit at the thought, causing Jeebs to break out in a cold sweat. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Elle whispered. She really wasn't sure of how to tell him this. What if he took it badly? "Uh, Kay, the doctor told me that there was a problem with my contraceptive shot when he was checking me. Apparently the blood transfusion and the antibiotics.... I'm pregnant."
"What?" Kay whispered. He couldn't have heard what she said right.
"I'm pregnant. Around four weeks," Elle whispered. Why wasn't he saying something? What in the world would she do if he wasn't happy, didn't want this? She loved him so much. What if this.... She couldn't bare to think of that.
"Are you alright?" Kay murmured, his mind racing at the news he had just received.
"I'm fine and the baby looks perfect." At least he didn't seem angry. Maybe this would be alright after all.
"I'll be right home," Kay said as he cut off the transmission, lowering his gun as he moved towards the door, causing Jeebs to sigh with relief.
"Kay? What's going on?" Jay asked. Elle had been talking so softly he really couldn't hear what she was saying.
"I'm going to be a daddy," Kay whispered, his voice filling with wonder at the thought.
"Here," Jeebs said as he reached down and pulled several things out of the display case including a nice bracelet and a sterling silver baby cup. "Gifts for the little one and the missus." Maybe if Kay was happy enough about his new child, he would stop blowing his head off every time he entered the store.
Kay waved in thanks as he took the gifts and hurried out the door, tossing the keys to the LTD to a surprised Jay. He couldn't wait to get home. To get home to his wife and child.
