Chapter 16- Hat Girl and the Weight Gain

A/N: This is a cute one and it tells the gender of Fourche-Morsure. Also, this has a major time lapse and Eponine getting sick. I don't own Les Miserables.

Grantaire was sleeping when he was awakened and saw Eponine get up. She walked to the window and threw up. A man made an audible noise of displeasure. Eponine then walked back to Grantaire. She laid next to him and felt her stomach.

"Are you okay, mon cher?" Grantaire whispered.

"Yeah... I think so... I feel fat." Eponine said rubbing her stomach.

"You aren't fat, mon amour." Grantaire whispered as he kissed her neck. "Now good night my sweet."

Eponine smiled as she rested her head against Grantaire's chest and fell asleep. Grantaire couldn't sleep.

(The mild-mannered Grantaire looks down at his beloved sidekick and realizes he has to get the bottom of this. He gets out of bed carefully and becomes Capital R. He leaves a note for his beloved. He then takes off.)

Grantaire streaked (pardon the joke) out of the apartment after leaving a note.

The next morning, Eponine awakened to feel extremely nauseated. She looked to see that Grantaire was gone. She saw a note in his place.

"Mon cher Hat Girl, I have decided to get to the bottom of why you are so sick. Love, R."

Eponine rolled her eyes. All that Grantaire had to do was get Joly to do a check-up and he wouldn't have to run through Paris in the nude trying to find some evil villain. Meanwhile, Fourche-Morsure walked over to Eponine. The dog had been gaining weight over the past month. Eponine started to suspect that Fourche-Morsure was 1. not a male, and 2. going to have puppies. Eponine decided that she would go out and find Grantaire. As she left, Fourche-Morsure decided then and there that the time was now.

(Capital R flies around looking for the evil that has caused his sidekick so much pain. He lights on a flagpole and waits. A bird flies by. Capital R realizes this bird could be the evil. He leaps out for it.)

Grantaire made a flying leap at the bird. He did not realize that gravity was quickly gaining control. He felt gravity take control and could not react. The "whump" echoed throughout the streets.

Eponine was staggering along the street. She felt so nauseated. She stopped by the side of the road and threw up. Joly had been out walking and saw her. He ran to her.

"Eponine? Are you okay?"

"I don't know."

"Here, let me get you back home," Joly said as he lifted up Eponine. Neither had seen Grantaire, face down, across the street with a dog sniffing him.

(Capital R gets up and begins to walk back to his hideout for he has forgotten why he was outside.)

Grantaire began to stagger to the apartment. He walked up the stairs when he heard small whimpers from inside. He opened the door and saw Eponine on the mattress and Fourche-Morsure nursing five little puppies.

While Grantaire had been staggering, Joly had been checking Eponine for why she was so sick. He double and triple checked his diagnosis. When Grantaire opened the door, Joly ran over to him.

"Congratulations, Grantaire."

"On the five puppies?"

"No. You and Eponine-"

Eponine got up slowly and walked to Grantaire and embraced him.

"Grantaire, I'm pregnant. We're going to have a baby."

Grantaire didn't know quite what to do except squeal for joy. Then he laughed. "I finally get to see the stork!" Grantaire squealed as Eponine thought, "I thought that when he got the talk, he had it straight in his head that it isn't the stork."

Gavroche entered the room with Enjolras and Azelma. Gavroche looked at Eponine and then at Grantaire. "What's he so happy about?"

"Gavroche, you and Azelma are going to have a niece or nephew. Aren't you happy?"

Gavroche looked around at all of the Terriers and sighed. "Great, another mouth to feed."

That was when Eponine knew. They had to get rid of all of the terriers. Grantaire was not going to take it well.

Will Eponine convince Grantaire that they need to sell some of the terriers? Will it work? Will Eponine have a boy or girl? Will Fourche- Morsure's puppies take after her? Will Grantaire get it in his head that the stork doesn't bring babies in cloth blankets? Will the Trix Rabbit ever get some Trix? Tune in next week for more Adventures of Capital R and Hat Girl?

A/N: The end is coming soon. Also, to answer the bluish-brown eyes question, Enjolras' irises have small flecks of brown pigment in them causing a really pretty color (I've seen it in some of my friends I think..) Please no flames.
