Blake's eyes nearly bugged out of his head as a shocked look came
over his face. Tori felt his arms loosen around her.
"Blake?" she asked gently. "What, um, what do you think?"
"I think...I need to sit down," he said, still in shock. Tori took his arm and sat him down on the bed.
A million thoughts raced through her mind. Was he happy? Did he want the baby? Was he angry?
Blake blinked his eyes a few times before looking into her worried blue eyes. He knew he wanted this child, but the initial thought of it hit him head on. His hand reached out and took Tori's.
"Say that one more time," he coaxed smiling. Tori's eyes lit up as she saw the gleam in his eyes.
"I said, we're going to have a baby." Her eyes drifted to her stomach, where Blake's hand had rested as she spoke.
Their hands met and then their eyes. They both let out smiles and leaned in for a heated kiss. Their lips lingered for several minutes before they broke away and embraced.
"I love you Tori...this is...amazing," Blake said.
"I take it you're happy then?" she asked.
"Of course I'm happy! I love you and this just proves how much." Tori kissed him again and lay down on her back, pulling him with her.
Blake eased her shirt up to her ribs and kissed her stomach, causing her to laugh. "Leeann said I'm about eight weeks along," Tori said. Blake's mind began to wander back to the last time they had been together.
"Nice little birthday surprise," he said laughing. Tori joined him and he eased them both up on the bed to rest on their pillows.
"You saved us Blake," she began. "If you hadn't brought me to the spring..." she trailed off as the thought of losing her little one invaded her mind. Blake saw her distress and traced her face with his fingers.
"I'll always be there Tor. To protect you and him." A small smile came to her lips.
"Him?"
"Or her," he corrected. Tori kissed him. "Now I know what you meant by your mom saving 'us.' She healed you and the baby."
Tori let out a small smile and pulled herself closer to him. "She was so beautiful, and kind, and gentle...I just wish I could have had more time with her." Blake kissed her forehead.
"But she'll always be watching over you- your dad too. Just like mine are watching over me and Hunter."
Tori smiled and snuggled into his embrace. She knew he was right. Their parents would never leave them, and soon they would be watching the latest edition to their family as well.

Morning dawned and Blake was up instantly to check on Sensei Amino. Tori felt him leave her, but curled under the covers and fell back into slumber.
Blake walked into the room and saw Leeann smiling. When she moved away from the bed, Sensei Amino was sitting upon his own smiling at him.
"You have a very brave fiancé, Blake," he said softly. Blake smiled and walked to him, enveloping him in a light hug.
"Yes, she is very brave," he said smiling. "How are you feeling?"
"Weak, yet I can feel my former strength returning," he said.
"He should stay in bed at least a day, but then he'll be his old self again," Leeann added.
"Bossing me around and making sure none of my students goof off," Hunter said as he entered. He walked over and hugged Sensei as well.
"I think perhaps you should inform the students that classes will resume next week," Sensei said.
"Like I said, bossing me around," Hunter joked. Sensei just gave him a small smile and turned to Blake.
"There is also a position available here for you Blake," he said. Blake ran his hand through his hair and saw the look he was getting from Leeann.
"Well, I need to talk to Tori...plus there's something else in the works at the moment," he said nervously.
"Like what?" Hunter asked.
Blake decided that it was only right that he should tell his family. "Tori and I are having a baby."
Hunter fell out of his chair and looked at Blake with a huge grin on his face.
(((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))
Cam knocked on Blake's door and Tori opened it to let him in. "How are you feeling?" he asked her.
Tori chewed her lip and Cam crossed his arms. "I'm great Cam...there's something I need to tell you."
Cam was like a brother to her and she couldn't keep it a secret from him. "Okay..." Cam trailed off, urging her to continue.
"I'm pregnant." Cam's eyes went wide and a large smile came to his lips. He picked her up and spun her in the air. When he put her down, Shane and Dustin were waiting, wondering what was going on.
"Dude, what's going on?" Dustin asked. Tori turned and told them her news. Dustin fell on the floor again and Shane hugged her.
"Congratulations," he said.
"Okay- why's he on the floor?" Blake asked as he entered his semi crowded room.
The guys congratulated him and he grinned at Tori. She bit her lip and shrugged her shoulders. "I guess he just got a little too excited," she said. Blake walked over and grabbed her in a hug.
"How's Sensei Amino?" Cam asked.
"He's better- he's with Leeann and Hunter right now," Blake answered. "You may want to have her check Dustin out, make sure he's alright," he said jokingly. Cam and Shane laughed, shut the door, and left them alone.
Tori went over and locked it. "So I was thinking," she began. "How about we set a date?"
Blake kissed her cheek. "A date?"
"For the wedding," she said as she playfully hit his arm. Blake pulled her closer and buried his face in her neck.
"I want you as my wife as soon as possible," he said against her skin. Tori closed her eyes as she felt Blake kissing her neck.
"I think that can be arranged..." she trailed off as Blake led her back to the bed. He kissed her shoulders and made his way down to her chest.
"It's okay to do this, right?" he asked. Tori nodded her head and pulled him to her.
"Absolutely," she said as they lay down.
(((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))
A week passed and Dustin, Shane, Cam, Tori, and Blake returned to the Wind academy. Sensei was overjoyed at the news of Tori and Blake's engagement and the news about the child she carried.
It had been decided that Blake would live in Blue Bay Harbor with Tori and the others, and he would teach at the Thunder Academy with Hunter. Sensei Amino was back to his old self, and he had thanked Tori profusely for her assistance.
Everything in Both Tori and Blake's lives were better than they ever thought possible. They moved into Tori's house and began preparations for their wedding.
Blake sat on the couch and began looking over some paperwork. Tori came out of the kitchen with two bottles of water and sat down next to him. He was deeply involved with the papers and she kissed his cheek.
"Is that you're contract?" she asked. Blake nodded in agreement and closed the folder.
"I think I'm getting an idea here," he said as he sat back. Tori placed her arm around him and massaged the side of his neck.
"And what exactly would that be?" she asked as she looked over another set of papers on the table in front of them. Blake closed his eyes as he felt her gently massaging his skin. "Blake? What were you going to say?" she asked when he didn't respond.
"I'm sorry," he said. "I was a little distracted by this gorgeous woman rubbing my shoulder." He turned and kissed her. Tori smiled and turned her attention back to the paper. "Well, I had a thought...what is I started my own racing team. Like with Hunter and Dustin? I mean, I still have my FOXY sponsorship, so why not use it?"
Tori wrinkled her forehead and looked over the paperwork and saw it had Blake's unmistakable handwriting all over it. She read some of his notes. "So you want a racing team under your own terms? Will the sponsor go for that?" she asked.
"I think that once Hunter and I sit down with them, they'll go for it." He put his arms around her and hugged her close. "I'd make sure we wouldn't be gone for more than like, a week at the most, but mostly we'd have tournaments on weekends."
Tori kissed his cheek and hugged him back. "I think that's a great idea...that way you can still be home and race at the same time...do everything you've always wanted."
Blake looked over the papers again. "Everything's going to be great Tor, I promise."
Tori smiled and kissed him gently. "Well, I had a thought too," she began. "I was wondering when we were going to do this," she said as she held out her engagement ring. Blake took her hand in his and brought it to his lips.
"I would rather do it sooner than later," he said. "That way we can get everything ready for the baby." His hand rested on her stomach. Tori smiled and placed her head on his shoulder.
"I was thinking about a ninja ceremony...we could have Sensei Wantanabe and Sensei Amino to perform it, our families are already here...not to mention that's the way our parents were married," she said as she looked up at him.
He ran a hand along her cheek and kissed her lips. "I think it's perfect." He kissed her again.
"Blake?" she asked gently. "What, um, what do you think?"
"I think...I need to sit down," he said, still in shock. Tori took his arm and sat him down on the bed.
