These were the longest two weeks that Amber had to endure. When she went to pick Gray up in the mornings. He would have breakfast already waiting for her. The assortment of food each day was amazing. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. If he had ever gave up on being a actor, a t.v chef would work well for him. The first few days were the hardest for her no coffee, sweets, energy drinks. People stayed away from her too, she was moody, getting headaches from the withdraws. It wasn't a pleasant experience that she hope she didn't have to deal with again.

By the beginning of the second week Amber was feeling better, but she was so tempted to break the rules. Even when Gray was on set she left the area and found a vending machines that had chocolate bars and soda drinks. Hiding the chocolate bar in her purse for later but didn't end up eating it. The day got to busy and she forgot about it and found it all melted. It turn out to be bitter sweet and put it into the garbage. She thought the person that had it worse then her had to be Gray. There was no way he could pulled it off by not sleeping with Juvia or Sherry. Half expecting to see one of the two women at his house in the mornings. If he was caught what right would it be for her to yell at him. Yes he was the one that offer to help her, he was still a male that had needs. Where as she didn't feel that way towards any man and was not searching for any sexual release.

After that day two weeks ago Gray never did call Juvia to have her come over to his house. His was thinking to much on what transpire that day and how she reacted and how close he came to kissing her. It was best to put it out of his mind for the time being. Chalk it up to the days events that lead him to put the moves on her. It was more important for him to help Amber with eating healthier. He could only do that in the mornings and keeping watch on her through out the day encase she had put those drinks back into her purse. Did she fill up her fridge and cupboards with food. Not being able to go over to her house from that day plagued him.

The talk with Juvia and Sherry went relevantly well for the most part. Sherry understood, but bow out for doing anything sexual with him. There was a other man that caught her eye so she decided to get his attention. Juvia on the other hand wasn't to keen on him having a break. Not knowing for how long he wanted to be on hold for. Like before she shown up at his place late one night after he was drop off by Amber. To find her in his living room completely naked. The temptation was there for him to shed his clothes and have her on the couch. Stood firm with her telling her that the wait would be better and he will have a hunger for her body. The trust that Gray wanted Amber to have in him was imperative. There was no backing out from this and Juvia wasn't going to stand in his way. She even told him that pleasuring each other bodies would be sufficient in itself, they both would climax but not together. Refused the closeness of their bodies would temp him to have sex. The answer he gave her was a no.

Juvia was angry and her true colours were going to explode. With restrain she held back and put on a great show for him to believe her. All of her might she willed herself to agree with his break. The night ended with her leaving his place and having him calling from time to time to keep in touch. Gray also mention to her about Sherry, and again set her off. The only women that should be in his view is her. No other women was going interfere in his life. The exception was his Manger and given how close the were. Trying to squeeze through between them wasn't going to be hard in her mind.

Then the day came for them to go back to fertility centre, they were both station in different rooms. He was surround by a white walls and tons of girly magazines on the table. Next to that was the little cup he had to spew his sperm into. It didn't take him long to get arouse by looking at the women in those pictures. Then was out of the room quicker and was waiting for Amber to be done. They came to the place together. What was the point of taking two cars, yeah he could have left first if they drove separately. This was a life changing affair and he was commitment to see it accomplish.

Her room was a far cry from the white walls of where he is. There were pictures on the walls of women in stages of pregnancy. Instruments on a tray that they will be using. Where she was in the room was on the medical bed with her legs in stirrups. Her clothes where on a chair and she was wearing a hospital gown. Glad that the person that is doing the procedure was Porlyusica, no males where in the room. There was assistant that was helping her, it's just three of them. It took Porlyusica about a hour to collect what was needed. When it was done there was a sigh of relief. The wait was now on her to be ready to receive back her egg with his sperm. When they parted afterwards Amber went straight to the first coffee shop she saw and Gray remained at home. He could have phone up Juvia, his mind was on other matters. Those matters where trepidation on when Amber will be pregnant. To his easement, he didn't have to wait long.

It was a regular day at work they were in the studio doing a game show. Gray was among other entertainers helping the chosen winner to win big. It was a lot of fun for him to do, and something different from any other day. Amber was in the back as usual watching him partake in the game. In her cell was ringing in her purse. Making sure no one was giving her odd looks at answering her phone. "Hello?" Didn't even look at the ID caller on her cell first.

"Amber, It's Porlyusica here. How are you?"

"I am good and you?

"I am well. I know you are probably busy right now. You did email the results of those ovulation test your taking. Would like to come in today?"

"I was planning on making appointment with you for this week because of how much time I have."

"Since I call you instead, want to come in. From what I gather this is your best day. The rest would work, this would give you a better chance."

"Are sure? I took the test, kind of guess what day it would be. If you say that it's now. I can come in."

"Prefect, we will have the eggs ready for you when you get here."

"Do I need to prepare for it?"

"No need. If you have kept up with what you were doing. You will be fine."

"Ohhh...Well I did have a coffee this morning and the last time you saw me."

"That is fine, so can you come?"

"Yeah I can. Will it take long?"

"No not long at all. If you can right away?"

"I am going out the door now."

"See you soon."

"Bye." Amber hangs up the phone and holds it in her hand. They were still showing the on air sign. There would be no way for her to tell Gray where she is going. The best thing she could do, was text him a message. When they have a commercial break he will read it then.

Starts typing her message. "Gray, I had to step out for awhile. I will let you know when I return. Keep up with the good work!" If she told him where she was going there would be the possibility that he would want to come with her. Would be sitting in a chair waiting for her to come out. Best for him to stay here and continue with work and telling him later. Gathering her things together, she heads for her car to leave.

Time goes by for a bit while the game goes on. "Thanks Gray for you answer and you are right that is the capital of Flore. You and our participant will be heading into the last round together. But first we will take short break for our sponsors." The director calls cut and everyone leaves their seats, either to talk with a other actor, go into the make up chair or get something drink. The seat he occupied was a basic office chair and when he stood up. Felt the soreness in his legs for sitting far to long. The game show did a couple of shoots all day long. So you aren't coming back each day to do one. This gives the game show host time to enjoy his days off and the season goes quicker with filming so many of them in a year.

"It's good to stretch. I think the previous break we had was two hours ago." The vibrate of his cell was going off. There were a few of them when he was siting down. Now that they were on a break he could review his messages.

The caller ID had a few from Juvia, Lyon and he notice Amber had texted. Looked up from his phone to see if she was in the back. She wasn't there and goes searching the rest of the room for her. That day when she had her emotional relapse, she has kept her distance from him. Gray did want to talk to her about it. To her knowledge she didn't realize she was doing it. Just like asking her permission. Hasn't done that since that day. "If she is not here, I should read her text."

Reads it and finds out she is not even at the studio anymore. "I wonder what came up? Did she go to see Sting about the contract that has to be redone due to several errors it in." The movie he agreed to do was going to be starting soon. They were waiting for Sting to hand over the script and the contract. Turn down the romance comedy one. There will be other offers for him do certain moves like those.

"I will text her back. Where are you?" Sends it and hopes she reply soon. It doesn't take long and the ding can be heard and he looks down on the phone.

"I will tell you soon. I am done with what I had to do."

"What did you do?"

"Can't say. Are you finished with the game?"

"Doing the last part after the break."

"Did you win?"

"I answer the right questions the guy is going on to the next round."

"I see, will do you mind getting a taxi home. I am heading to my place now."

"I can, why are you going home?"

"Can't say, not when you are working."

"Amber? I do not have to be focus right now. Tell me."

"Look, you will know later. I will see you in a few days. Have fun on your days off with Juvia. Sting has email me about the contract. You are set to go next month."

She was stalling him, not wanting to tell him what happen while he was working. Porlyusica told her to enjoy the rest of her day and wait for a couple of days to find out. Amber didn't want to go back to work. Feeling way to nervous that it was done and she didn't want to tell Gray yet. Work was essential, and getting side track from that it wasn't something she was willing to do.

"Dodging me. You have to tell me soon."

"Yes soon. bye!"

"Why she is doing this. I can deal with work and what she needs to tell me."

"Gray...Break is over lets resume."

"Coming!"

Her legs where laying on the back of the couch and her head was position down closer to the carpet. Porlyusica said to carry on as normal. There was nothing she could do to help it along. This was what she had come up with and plus saw it a few times on t.v shows. Being upside down was helping gravity do it's work. Doing a head stand would be better, but holding herself up with her hands could cause injury.

While coming home from the centre she stop off at a pharmacy and picked up some pregnancy tests. They were in a bag on her coffee table and Happy was sniffing around it. "Happy get away from that go lay down some where."

"Meow."

"Go on have a nap." Jumps down and rubs his body against her head.

"Silly cat." Rubbing his fur caused him to purr and lay down next to her head. Petting him helped calm her down a little.

"I hope this works Happy. I can't ask him to do it a second time.

"Purrrrrrrr."

"Cutest thing in the world you are." There was a knock at her door. Lifts up her head wondering who it was. The door was unlock so she didn't need to leave her couch. Explaining why she was like this would raise questions. Needed to bluff her way through or try too.

"Door is open come on in." Looking at her door being open and seeing the man that couldn't wait to know what was going on. Walks right into her apartment and shuts the door behind him. Seeing her on the couch that way was odd.

"What are you doing?"

"Laying, watching t.v. What are you doing here, said I would see you in a few days."

"Yeah, I was curious to know what is going on."

"I was going to tell you after our days off."

"I am here now."

"Gray...Go!"

"No." Walking over to the coffee table he sees the bag. It says Magnolia Pharmacy on it. "What is in here, are you sick?"

Amber tries reaching for it before he sees the box inside. He was faster then she was with being somewhat upside down. The bag gets picked up and proceeds to look inside. His eyes get huge and snaps his head at her.

"Did you go to centre today, with out telling me, you had the appointment?"

Frowns and lays her legs on the couch and sits up. "Got a called, today was the best day by the tests I was taking. I email her this morning after a took one."

"Why wasn't I informed."

"You were working and you would be waiting in a chair. No point to that." Moving closer to the couch had her backing up to the far end of it. He sits down and gives her a unpleasant look.

"Should have said so in the text at lest"

"No, working."

"Amber I want to be at each stage in this. I do not want to be left out."

"Gray there is a chance this did not work. I was going to tell you in a few days if it was yes or a no."

"In a few days? What were you going to say. Oh by the way I am not expecting."

"Didn't get that far."

Running his fingers through his hair he looks at her stomach. Thinking that she could be carrying his child.

"So they are in there?"

"Five of them." Puts her hand on her stomach.

"When will you know that you are?"

"Like she said, a couple of days."

"Can you do it now?"

"Gray it happen only four hours ago."

"Yes, I really want to know now."

"Got to wait."

"I hate waiting."

"You can be patience for this."

"I don't think so."

"What are you going to do. Wait until I pee on the stick."

"Can I?"

She laughs, he hasn't heard her laugh in a long time. It was refreshing to hear and to see the smile on her face. "You can't stay here for all that time."

Amber thought he look like a little school boy asking something from his teacher. It made her laugh at the way he said it too.

"I can tell you right away Gray."

"I will stay, can't you do one in a few hours. You never know."

"I am not like Phoebe from Friends."

"Well they are in you, it shouldn't take so many days to find out."

"You aren't going to leave until I do, right?"

"Nope."

Sighs and looks at her watch. "Say midnight?"

"Midnight it is. You get back into laying the way you where. I am getting hungry do you mind if I use your kitchen.

"Go for it." How can she say no to his food now. After all the mornings she has enjoyed his cooking. Getting back into her position, Gray goes into the kitchen and Happy gets back on the couch and lays next to her.

The meal was the best she has ever had in a long while. All the take out she has been having and eating her own cooking wasn't nothing like his. After they had supper, they sat for the rest of the night watching movies. One of his older movies came on, a comedy. Didn't mind watching himself and Amber laughed at the funny parts.

"That was great, I don't know how you could do that clip with out laughing yourself Gray."

"It took a few takes to do it because of him goofing off."

"Where is Elfman?"

"He is doing that t.v hospital drama."

"Right, they are in their second season. Got to watch it sometime." It was getting closer to midnight and Gray was getting anxious. Kept looking at the clock off and on through out the night. This is going to be it, soon he will find out. If it's a no he had to wait for a few more days. He was hoping for a big fat yes.

"It's almost midnight Gray."

"Is it, was glue to the t.v"

"Sure, like your eyes where not looking at the clock every five minutes for the last hour."

"I got caught eh."

"You did, mister." Getting up from the couch she grabs the bag from the coffee table. Never moving it somewhere else.

"Here I go."

"Did you drink enough."

"I think so. Been holding it for awhile."

"Do you want me to do anything."

"There is nothing you can do. Just stay here." Pats him on the arm as she walks by him. Walking down to the her bathroom got her butterflies going. How can she find out this soon, it will be impossible."

Leading up against the door in the bathroom before commencing on. Taking a deep breath in she takes the box out of the bag and open up the package. Three sticks where inside with the instructions. It was simple to do it didn't need to be read. On the box it shows a plus or a negative. Peeing on the stick was hard at first, trying to think of going and stopping right away. When there is enough on it, she puts it on the counter and waits for the three minutes.

"How is it going in there?"

"Gray why are you standing at the door?"

"Giving you support."

"At lest I was able to do it before you speak."

"It's done?

"Not yet it has to appear first."

"Open the door so we don't have to talk through it." Putting her hand on the handle made her a little hesitate to open. He was standing right behind this door, and what they want to know is on the counter.

Unlocking the door she opens it up and looks up into his eyes. He was leading against the frame of the door. "How much longer."

"Less then a minute."

The stick was on the counter and he wanted to look at it himself. It was bugging him to know. Finding out wasn't coming swiftly. Her watch was making alarm sound indicating she can look. "Time is up."

"What does it say?"

"Hold your horses Gray. I think it's best to wait for a few days. We are going to get a negative." Picking up the stick and reading the answer. Blinks a few times and puts the stick down. Then she rubs her eyes and picks up the stick again.

"Amber?"

"This can't be right."

"What?" Turning towards him, she pushes him out the bathroom. "Stay here and don't say a thing." Slamming the door in his face he braces his hands on the door.

"Amber open!"

"Hush Gray!" Paces the floor in the hallway waiting for her to come out of the bathroom. What did it say, he needed to know. It takes at lest ten more minutes before she re opens up the door. Her hand comes out and with her finger motions him side.

"Amber, you push me out." Walks back into her bathroom and she was holding three sticks in her hands.

"I thought it could be a false positive. These two here, turn out the same way."

"What does it mean?" Hands him the sticks to see the results. Looking at all three of them he counts three plus.

"I am pregnant Gray. I am having a baby." He puts the sticks back on the counter.

"You are having my baby."

"Yes." Grabs her into a hug, not thinking what he just did.

"Let go, get back!" Pushes on his chest to get free. Stumbles backwards almost falling into the bathtub. A hand reaches out to grab her arm and brings her closer to him again.

"Got you, are you alright?"

"Let me go!"

"OK, just take it easy for a moment. Nothing is going to happen." Her hands were on his chest. This was making her feel very insecure.

"Gray, I will be fine if you let me remove myself."

"Now we know you are having a baby got to keep a eye on you."

"Not necessary, plus I will have to double check with Wendy."

"Your Doctor?"

"Have know her for years. She is really good."

"You went to her when you where..."

"Hit?"

"Was trying not to say it."

"She recommended Dr. Smith to us. After I got out of the hospital."

"I'll go with you to see Wendy." Shaking her head in a no and looks into his eyes. In a serious tone voice her thoughts.

"I can do this part on my own Gray. I am not asking you to hold my hand."

Raised his eyebrow and moves his hand from her back and touches her fingers. "I want too." Clasps his hand with hers and walks her out of the bathroom.

"Gray, what are you doing?" The grip of his hand was strong and she couldn't break free. Sitting her down on the sofa and takes the seat next to hers.

"From this moment on we are in this together. I want to come with you when you go see her. I want you to feel comfortable around me not backing away."

"That is something I can't do Gray. I do feel ok being around you."

"Amber I am sitting here and you are over there. See the distance that you put in front of others."

"It's habit."

"You may think that way, it's clear to me."

"Clear? What is clear?"

"Since that day, your distance has gotten bigger. I even seen the way you talk to other people you can't stand to get close. Can you try and not be that way with me?"

"Been so use to it Gray, you can't expect me to change."

"You don't have to do a complete change with the whole world. I know you and we work together, start with me."

"You have said this many times to trust and believe in you, it's something I am unsure off. Like you holding me in the bathroom or the other day. I feel un-shelter, insecure, the damage that was done on me might not be fixable."

He shakes his head not believing in those words. "I know I have asked you several times. I think we need a foothold. You have master a way to deal with what has happen in your past. There will be times you will hit rock-bottom, but you pick yourself up again. If you have friend to give you support, I think you will be able to conquer your demons. I am asking to be that friend."

"Because we have worked together for these many years?"

"You have a lot of girlfriends and less, very small amount of men in your life. The girls could help you and I don't think it will solve it. To overcome anything is to look at it straight in the eye and banish it. With my help, if you agree to it. Might give you a chance to bridge a gap for males. Do you really want to be single for the rest of you life, not be able to go on a date, chat, ...have sex."

"To me you are asking for the impossible. The top of the mountain is so high, I can't reach for that flag."

"Try a little hill at first, with a miniature flag. A tiny one this big."

Smiles and giggles at him, knowing he is trying to convince her to let a little of her bricks to come down. The prospects of this becoming a reality is going to be hard on her. "Hmmm I don't know."

"Do not think Amber. Let your emotions or instincts take control."

"I have been doing that and look where it got me."

"Ok, ummm lets see here. Maybe let your heart guild you. Don't listen to what is up here." He points to her head with his finger and moves it to her heart. "Listen here."

"I have to think on this."

"No no no no no thinking Amber that is the whole point."

"Isn't that blind faith. I would have to give 100% trust you."

"Yeah, you do or try to do. Work your way through it. I know you can do it."

Nodding her head in agreement. This could be a turning page in her book, move that bookmark to the end. "I'll try to be mindful? or be wary?"

"I think you are already doing that with keeping people at arms length."

"I'll try."

"First step is to try." Gray stands up from the couch and puts his hand out in front of her. "Lets shake on it."

Narrowing her eyes at his hand made her feel a little foreboding, it was a leap she was risking. Slowly she reaches out her hand to him and he takes it into his own. Looking up at him, he was was smiling down at her and give her a wink. "Not so hard to do." Pulling her up from the couch, and starts shaking her hand.

"Deal done."

"I guess so Gray."

"It's getting late. I need to go and you need to rest."

"It is my day off tomorrow, going to enjoy a other move before hitting my pillow. You are going to Juvia?"

"At this time of night no. See her tomorrow. Call me about when you will see Wendy."

"Gray, can you not go. That is a personal thing."

"Amber you have taken three test that came out positive, I want to be there. I know it's treading on your space. Part me is in you now, got to see it though."

"Alight."

Gray heads out of her front door and stands in the hallway. Leaving her at the doorway. "I wish you Goodnight."

"You too." Waving bye as he walks down the hallway to the side door. Closing her door, Happy was rubbing against her leg. Picking him with her hand she nuzzles his head.

"What have I gotten myself into Happy?"

"Meowwww."

"Good answer. Lets watch a other movie."

On his days off had him in bed with Juvia. When he called her to come over, she literally was there in a blink of eye. As soon as she walked inside his place, she started to take off her clothes. Leaving a trail to his living room floor. They had sex on the floor, couch, anywhere else that pulled him into a sexual heat.

When she got the call to go over to his place, she was in the middle of work. Zeref wasn't happy when he heard what she did. Walking away from the set, putting the production on hold. It made a lot of people talk unkindly of her. The person who offer her the job and wanted her to star in it. Had second thoughts of asking her to do anything else for him again. Zeref waited for her to see him and he some choice words for her. Telling Juvia that what she did was un call for and if she wants to be a star, that doing what she did wouldn't be repeated.

Took a long time for Zeref to have Juvia to do the re shoot. Buttering up to the director wasn't in his cards, she was his client and he had to do his job. He was tempted to let Amber know what happen. It wasn't her responsibility to oversea Juvia actions. If she found out then maybe Gray wouldn't be so go ho on thinking about sex 24 hours. The thought did cross his mind, for now he would leave it be.

Going to see Wendy to find out if the results from what the pregnancy test she took were correct. Again she had pee, but this time into a cup. With Gray being in the room with her to find out it was a little weird. Amber had to explain to her why he was there and for what reason, to also keep her mouth quiet. Wendy was very professional and she honor Amber request, because this wasn't going to be the only time she was going to see him.

The news Wendy share with them was true. Amber was indeed pregnant and she schedule to have her come back each month for a check up. Told her about taking prenatal vitamins, eating right and to stop smoking, it was her choice to quit. Knowing it was hard on some people then others. It was like the coffee all over again, not able to savor it. Gray made sure to listen intently to Wendy. If this is what Amber has to do, he was going to make sure it will get done. Hopefully with out the fuss and horrible withdraws.

Will Gray be able to work and keep watch over Amber. Then there where his parents he has to tell along with his brother. Did he have the right to mention this to Juvia? Amber had to tell her brothers, who where not please to begin with. There was her friends to know as well. To tell them all will have different reactions to the news. None of them didn't know she agree for Gray to help her out. What lays in wait for them in the coming weeks or months...
