Will held Karen in his arms, tears welling in his eyes, and she
already sobbing in his shirt.
"Will... I'm...I'm so happy." She whimpered, looking up at him. A smile formed on his lips.
"We're going to have a baby!" Will hugged her tighter to him.
"Um, Will..." Her voice was breathy, "You're going to kill the baby." He immediately let go, a scared look on his face. "Oh, honey, I was just joking." She swatted at him. Then realization hit and she gasped, "Oh, God, I'm going to have a baby." She covered her mouth with her hand and backed up to the wall.
"Karen, it's okay." Will went to her. She shook her head no, and continued staring at him with her wide brilliant brown eyes. Now it was time for Will to reassure Karen. "Don't worry, I'll be with you all the way. Making sure you don't mess up, come on. It's okay." She dropped her hand to her side and let her head rest on Will's chest. He reluctantly wrapped his arms around her and held her, letting her soak his shirt some more.
"You promise?" She whispered through her tears.
"I swear it to you." Just then the phone rang. (OMG, my phone just started ringing! Ok, sorry, little side note) "Come on." He pulled her into the living room and sat her on the couch, heading to the kitchen to retrieve the phone. "Hello?" He asked.
"Hey, Will. It's Wes." The smooth seductive voice shimmered through the phone.
"Oh, Wes, hey." Will turned his back to Karen so she couldn't hear his conversation.
"Yeah so I was wondering if you wanted to get together sometime, what are you doing tonight? I really miss you." He sounded down. Will was about to say nothing, but then remembered Karen. He turned to see her crying on the couch. He bit his lip and took a deep breath.
"Wes, I'm sorry, I can't tonight." He turned back around.
"Is that a "I can't tonight" or an "I can't tonight or ever"?" Wes sounded kind of mad.
"No, no, that is defiantly an "I can't tonight". Wes, I had so much fun last night, there's just been a little family emergency." There that was it, a family emergency.
"FAMILY EMERGENCY! Try I'm pregnant with your child." Karen screamed at him.
"I'm sorry. I really liked him and I didn't think it was a good idea to tell him just yet. Karen, I promise I will when I see where the relationship is going to go." Karen was furious.
"How do you think he'll feel if you spring it on him when I call telling you to get to the hospital because your child is coming!" Karen was about ready to leave. Will grabbed her and stopped her.
"I'll tell him. I'd tell him right now if I could." Will looked sincerely at her.
"Why can't you?" She sneered, scowling at him.
"I don't have his phone number." Will said triumphantly.
"When he calls back you're telling him, or you're outta the picture bucko." She snapped.
"I will. Karen, please, stay. I'm really sorry." Karen looked at his pathetic look. She sighed and dropped back on the couch. "And I can't take this when I know Grace is going to have the same reaction."
"What? Oh, geez I forgot about her." Karen looked away in thought.
"Will... I'm...I'm so happy." She whimpered, looking up at him. A smile formed on his lips.
"We're going to have a baby!" Will hugged her tighter to him.
