Katherine sighed sitting across from Sean, though she knew the reaction he would have and how she wouldn't have to worry about a thing but she still did. She didn't really think that he'd leave her, didn't even imagine it. She knew that the first thing that he would do was stare at her, mouth slightly open and then start smiling.
She wasn't worried about what he would do.
And she was right, Katherine knew it, she sat across from him, not able to meet Sean's eyes.
Sean was growing concerned over the fact that Katherine was so distant, he'd thought that they were getting better. The awkward phase of their life was over again, that they had managed the mix of lovers, friends, and partners. She was sitting across the table looking at his mouth, and not in the way that he'd noticed when they were 15 with a far off smile in her eye and a slight smile on her face. Now she was slightly scared, though her eyes weren't.
Katherine wasn't normal. She'd been distant, she'd asked for Magic's new apartment number a few mornings ago. She hadn't acted this weird since they'd first gotten together.
He reached across the table, holding her hand lightly, stroking her slightly roughed palm with his strangely soft fingers. One of a million contrasting things that struck him about them.
Sean would freely admit to anyone that he hadn't meant to be with Katherine ever, but now that he was he couldn't see any other way, not really if he was honest with himself.
"I'm pregnant"
Sean jerked his head up looking over at her, his mouth open and wide. "What?"
"I'm gunna have a baby"
Sean smiled, standing up and hugging her, gripping her tightly, the only thought in his mind was of the baby that would grow, of the child that he would hold and raise.
And then he pulled away, his eyes, normally so sure were suddenly full of doubt. "I gotta go" He whispered to her, kissing her, his lips pressing against hers in a strangely intimate way. "I'm so happy you gotta know that, right?" He asked her softly. "I couldn't be happier."
Cards pulled away from him, her hands on her hips. "Then why do you need to leave?" She snapped, her eyes full of hurt.
"I just need to get my head straight" he said. Turing away from Cards he walked out the door, running to the church.
Author's Notes: Well this one is actually going to be fairly long, spanning all of Cards' pregnancies and some of Leo's ickle babyhood.
