A/N Ok so I read this killer book the other day and have come to realize that men are

ditzy. Oh and sorry this is soooooooooo short.

Shane reached over and grabbed his pager and then drew a hand down his face.

Why did Stephanie always pick the most inopertune times to page him?

Crystal looked at the pager and then at Shane. She knew that he would have to answer it.

Shane looked at her with sad eyes. He knew she needed him, but he also knew that Steph

needed him as well.

Crystal shook her head and got up. She had known from the beginning that Shane would always

choose his job over her.

She began to get dressed with more tears in her eyes.

"Crystal, honey what are you doing?" Shane asked with confusion in his eyes.

"I'm not going to torture myself for you Shane. I refuse to. When you have your priorities

straight call me. Until then..." Crystal grabbed her bag and closed the door behind her.

Her mother had always warned her not to get involved with co-workers, and yet here she was

falling in love with her boss. When would she learn?

Four hours later

Shane sat in his office with his head in his hands. The headache that had started when Crystal

left was only getting worse. He had no clue of what she had meant by her last statement. why

couldn't she just accept the fact that he had a responsibility to be here?

Shane slammed his fist down in frustration. "Fine if she can't accept that my job is important

then she can learn to live without me." he grumbled in utter frustration.

Meanwhile back at Crystals home

She stared blankly at the stick. Nope that can't be right. She was just dreaming.

None of this was really happening and this was just lying to her. She couldn't be...

She threw the stick away and tried yet another one. This one will tell me the truth.

Sure enough five minutes later she was getting sick and this she knew was only the beginning.
