Logan was sitting in bed, watching one of those late night syndicated talk shows. He took a puff of his cigar and looked at the bathroom light.

"Hey. You comin' to bed?"

"Yeah, just gimme a minute."

Logan grunted and finished off his cigar. He was getting bored waiting for Marie and this show wasn't catching his attention either. A commercial came on playing the song 'Forever Young' by Rod Stewart. It had different baby animals on it with their parents. Logan's mouth curled almost into a smile, it was cute. He flipped the channel when he saw it was for a Pampers commercial.

"Stupid commercials...", he muttered.

The bathroom light suddenly went out and Marie came out. "Logan. I have something to talk to you about."

"What's that?"

Marie took a deep breath, "You promise not to get mad?"

"No", he grinned, "Just tell me. What it is?"

Marie sat down beside him and took his hand, "Well, about three months ago, I got this idea about having a baby....and, well...I took my sewing pins and poked holes in your condoms."

She looked down at the bed, waiting for him to explode, for him to slap her. Some type of violent reaction of the sort. Logan pulled his hand away, now he knew why that pin was in his pocket that night. He looked at Marie and managed a smile, at least he hoped it was a smile.

"Marie, why didn't you tell me this before?"

She looked down again, not wanting to tell him the truth. He reached out and took her chin in his hand. "Hmmm? Why didn't you tell me?"

She sighed and then began to sob, "Because I wanted to make sure I was pregnant. If I didn't get pregnant I was going to keep doing it."

Logan pulled her close and kissed her hair, "Well, Are you?"

She nodded, "I'm so sorry I lied to you."

"Sshhhh, we have a baby on the way. That's all that matters now", he caressed her hair and looked at the ceiling. Oh shit

Marie smiled and stroked his cheek with her gloved hand, "I love you, and I know you're going to make a great father."

Logan smiled down at her. He was so glad she didn't have telepathic abilities. He couldn't be mad at her because he was hiding the fact that he fucked a hockey player in the alleyway the same night he made love to her. Ah, Jesus...I'm screwed now
