The next morning, back at the apartment Rafe rolls over not feeling Alison next to him. He wakes up quickly and yells her name. She comes out of the bathroom in just her nightgown still. "Have I ever told you how beautiful you are in the morning?" he says with a grin on his face.

"Not lately, but you can tell me again if you feel you need to." She says laughing.

He scoots to the end of the bed and places his arms around her waist. "I was so scared I'd lost you last night. I don't know what I could do if you weren't in my life." And then starts to kiss her stomach.

"Remember how we were discussing having a ceremony in the barn last night?"

"mmm hmm" he says while still concentrating on her stomach.

"Well, do you want to have it soon, or wait until after our little Kovich shows up?"

Rafe stops in mid kiss, and with his lips still against her gown looks up at her. "Are you serious? You mean me and you.we.parents?" and with that he jumps out of bed and picks her up off the floor. "Oh sorry little one, didn't mean to squeeze you in there. How long have you known?"

"I figured it out a few days ago, but I wasn't exactly able to tell you. I wasn't sure what I was going to do if I had married Joshua." She says flashing those beautiful blue eyes at him.

"Can we go a few more hours without speaking that name?" he asks, as he lays her down on the bed and starts kissing her.

Rafe and Alison knock on Lucy's door.

"Come in" they hear from the other side.

"Hello cousin." Rafe says as they walk in.

"Alison, your ok. What happened? Is Joshua dead?" Lucy says as she jumps up from the couch.

"There'll be time for explanations and details later. We were just coming by to discuss a few things with you."

"Oh? Is everything ok? You didn't get turned by Joshua, did you?"

"No, it's nothing like that. Jamal got me out of there before anything happened."

"Anyways. Remember how when we first met I told you that we were the only two Kovich's left that I knew of?"

"Yes, have you found another relative of ours?"

"Well, sort of. I don't know anything about this person yet, but I do know we should get to meet him or her in about nine months or so."

"Nine months? Why nine months...wait, are you trying to tell me you're pregnant?"

"Yes, we just found out and decided that you would be one of the first people to find out." Rafe and Alison say together as they all three go in for a group hug.

"This is the best news I have heard in so long. Oh, I'm so happy for you two. So, are you going to get married soon or wait until the baby is born? Where will you have it at?" Lucy says on the verge of tears.

"Well, we are thinking of having a small ceremony in the barn in a few days. It will just be Rafe, the Minister, and I for the ceremony."

"Don't worry Lucy, afterwards you can throw as large of a party as you want." Rafe chimes in. "We need to go visit some more people and tell them the news. We'll come back by later though."

"Ok, I'll see you two love birds later on."
