The next day Maria was cooking dinner, while Michael was in the shower. Maria heard a knock at the door. Maria walked over to the door and opened it. Her eye's widen at the people she saw.

"TESS! KYLE! What are you doing here? You said you wouldn't get home until early tomorrow." Maria said giving Tess and Kyle a hug. Kyle and Tess walked into the apartment.

"We know but we wanted to surprise you. So SURPRISE!" Tess told Maria. Maria smiled at her best friend.

"Well, I kinda have a surprise for you too." Maria said while letting Tess and Kyle get a good look at her hand. Tess squealed and gave Maria a hug.

"See, I told you he was going to do it." Tess said as Michael walked in the living-room.

"Hey Tess, Kyle. You came back early." Michael said giving them a hug.

"Yes, we did. And it seems like we missed out on all the fun." Kyle told Michael while smirking. Michael chuckled at him.

"Trust me, we weren't having as much as fun as you and Tess were." Michael told Kyle. Tess blushed and looked at Maria.

"I'm so happy for you." Tess said giving Maria another hug. Maria giggled at her best friend. She missed Tess and was so glad she was back.

"Umm, Tess let me talk to you in the bedroom and I'll tell you what else is new." Maria said while pulling Tess down the hall. "Michael, could you finish cooking dinner?" Michael just sighed at went to the kitchen.

"So how was your honeymoon?" Michael asked Kyle.

"Trust me Michael, it's worth the wait." Kyle said with a smirk on his face as he sat down at the table. Michael rolled his eye's.

"OH MY GOD!" Michael and Kyle heard Tess yell and rushed to the bedroom. Michael opened the door.

"What's wrong?" Michael asked concerned.

"Tess are you all right?" Kyle asked walking up to her. "Why are you crying?"

"Oh, I'm just so happy for Michael and Maria. You know they are getting married and all." Tess said as she hugged Maria and Maria smiled. Michael and Kyle looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

"You know Kyle, I think we should leave Michael and Maria alone." Tess told Kyle as she walked out of the room.

"But we just got here." Kyle whined.

"That's okay. Besides we still have to unpack." Tess said while pulling Kyle towards the door. Tess stopped and looked at Maria.

"I'm so happy for you. So very happy for you." Tess said and gave Maria another hug. Maria laughed at her best friend. Tess gave Maria one last look and walked out with Kyle.

Maria turned towards Michael and smiled. She walked over to Michael and gave him a kiss on the lips. Michael chuckled, Maria packed away and frowned at Michael.

"What are you laughing about?" Maria asked him.

"No, it's not you." Michael said pulling Maria closer to him. "It's just Tess. The way she was acting when you told her we were getting married." Michael chuckled again. "I mean could you imagine how she would act if you told her you were pregnant or something?"

"I'm going to check on dinner." Maria told him as she walked to the kitchen. Michael followed her and sat down at the table.

After dinner Michael was sitting down on the couch watching T.V. Maria walked into the living-room and looked at Michael. Michael turned his head towards Maria and looked at her.

"Is there something wrong?" Michael asked her. Maria shook her head.

"Well, I can see that your busy and I don't want to bug you. So I'll just come back later." Maria said walking away. Michael turned off the T.V. and gently grabbed Maria and sat her on the couch. Michael raised his eyebrows at Maria.

"Well? What's the matter?" Michael asked Maria.

"Nothing, why would you think something was..." Maria stopped herself has she saw the look that Michael was giving her. Maria sighed. "Okay, I have to tell you something but you have to promise me you won't get mad and you have to let me finish before you say anything." Michael nodded his head.

"Okay, remember that day I wasn't feeling good?" Maria asked him. Michael nodded his head. "Well, I went to the store and bought something and it sort of told me something that I'm going to have." Maria explained to him. Michael looked at Maria confused.

"You know what you said made no sense." Michael told her. Maria sighed and looked into Michael's eye's.

"Michael, I'm..... I'm... Michael I'm pregnant." Maria finally said.
