Author's Notes: Sorry for another wait. School has been killer. Hopefully this brightens your day. So I finally have a beta, so hopefully the chapters become better. I plan to do about 10 chapters in total for this story.

If you have read Charmed or The White Queen you know that I have other fanfics in the works that include The 100, Blood Ties, Hunger Games, Lost Girl, Divergent, and Percy Jackson.

Chapter Four: Two Months Later

A headache was crawling its way up her spine. The room had just stopped spinning. She just spent the last few minutes in the ladies bathroom dry heaving over the toilet. It was just the beginning of the day and she wanted to go home.

Betty really hadn't been trying to avoid Daniel for the last few weeks. She had been busy, too busy for her own taste. A week after the Bahamas and the tension behind her forehead came back with a raging force. She tried her best deal with it on her own but it only made it worse.

Now she was trying to focus. There was something important she had to do. She checked her calendar again and found nothing to be concerned about. She sighed. Recently she had been so tired that some days she had been running late.

"Hey, why weren't you in the meeting today?" Marc said as he walked passed her and sat down at his desk. He was in flashing colors of blue and sliver, dressed in his favorite silk shirt. Lately he noticed that Betty was getting a bit spacey. There were times where whole hours went by and she would simply work and work and then worked some more.

"Wait?" Betty paused. "What? There was a meeting today?" She was in panic mode. A lot of papers raced into the air as she was scrambling to collect everything she could need for the meeting.

Marc paused before he asked with a smirk on his face, "Wait, did you not know?" He enjoyed messing with her some times. Just seeing her in a panic did wonders for his ego when she was Ugly Betty, new and innocence.

But Marc in the last few years had become sort of a frenemy to her. She knew he would not intentionally hurt her. At least she didn't think he would. Betty panicked and raced towards Daniel's office.

Betty rushed into Daniel's office. "I'm sorry that I'm late. Its has been a really crazy day. I am sorry I'm late to the meeting I forgot it was today." It was only when Betty sat in front Daniel did later realize that she had been tricked. She was going to kill Marc.


Daniel thought when he came back from the Bahamas that his sex drive would be reset. But his libido wouldn't have it, because all he could think about was Betty and their time in the Bahamas. He was trying to work on the new layout for the next issue of MODE, but he hadn't getting any work done.

Daniel sighed. And remembered he was hungry. Daniel paged his assistant. Betty had finish picking the perfect candidate for the job and she was perfect. A little too perfect. He pushed the button to contact his assistant, "Lexie, can you order my regular from the sandwich cart?"

There was a beep followed by her response, "Yes, sure. No problem, boss." He hears the click of his assistant's heels across the floor heading off to get lunch.

Daniel took a deep breath and tried to the best of his abilities to focus on the photos his entire desk. In a sudden flash Betty came crashing through his door. "I'm sorry that I'm late. It has been a really crazy day. I am sorry I'm late to the meeting I forgot it was today." Betty said as she rushed into the room, papers trailing behind her.

"Betty," Daniel was confused. "I wasn't aware we had a meeting today." It was only when Betty sat in front Daniel that he had realized that she had been tricked. "Betty I think you were tricked."

"Marc!" Betty yelled. Daniel could see Marc cringing.


A week later and she was still not feeling well. "Cramps?" her sister asked after dinner.

"What?" she said as she drying the plates in front of her, helping Hilda with the daily chores after she has come to visit on the weekend to get away from her life in the city.

"You know, cramps." She replied.

It was then that Betty realized that her period was suppose to start today. But it didn't Crap, she thought. Betty would always remember the Bahamas her fun in the sun and her time working trying her best to work with Wilhelmina. But she would also remember her night with Daniel, and the way he made her feel. If she focused just before she went to bed she could feel his touches on her skin once more.

"Hold on." Hilda said as she opened her purse. "Here I had some aspirin. This should help. These two pills help a lot during this time of the month."

Betty accepted the pills with a slight nod. "Thank you." She whispered.

"No problem." Hilda said, as she walk away noting that the dishes were complete and what was left was the drying.


She had taken three and she still couldn't believe it. She sat on the closed lid of the toilet after she read the instructions and peed on the stick. Now all she had to do was wait. After the three-minute mark was up she flipped the stick over to reveal the results. Before she knew she saw it in big bold letters. POSITIVE.
