Note: Scooby-doo and any other character from the Scooby-doo series/movies rightfully belong to Hanna-Barbara (which personally, I think they are the best) I am although, a huge fan of Scooby-doo and this story came to me literally in a dream

Unwanted and special

After two days of working to decipher the rest of the vase, Ace finally found time to get a small nap in. She had just sat down on the couch when the door bell rang; she cursed softly and got up. Peering through the peephole Ace started questioning why the mystery gang couldn't stop torturing her. She already had to see Shaggy and the gang when they came to her for help but now they're ringing her doorbell as in a social visit. Grant it, she didn't mind Scooby, in fact she loved Scooby; so why was Daphne at her front door? Ace sighed and pulled it open slowly.

"Yes Daphne?" She asked stifling a yawn.

"Hello to you to Ace," Daphne said stepping closer to the door frame. Ace stepped back and allowed Daphne to enter. Ace felt so glad she decided to wear one of her many over sized T-shirts; she didn't want Daphne to see her stomach, not now and not ever. Ace gingerly placed her hand on the side of her stomach as the baby kicked pretty hard before she followed Daphne and Scooby into the kitchen. She hopped up onto a stool careful not to show her stomach.

"What brings you here Daphne?"

"Oh just, you know things..." Ace gave Daphne a weird look and Daphne just waved it off. "Look, I was wondering if you.. could take Scooby in.."

Ace looked astonished. Was Shaggy with Velma so much that Scooby wasn't being taken care of and eventually discarded to the side like a piece of tissue paper? Upon seeing the look in Ace's eyes, Daphne shook her head.

"No, I mean... We're always out solving mysteries and Scooby plays bait..."

"BY HIMSELF?!"

They both nodded. Ace turned to look at Scooby, hopped off the stool and placed her hands on his face.

"Scoobs, you can stay here as long as you like," she smiled and placed a gentle kiss on his nose causing him to giggle and wag his tail. Ace turned to Daphne slowly as Daphne stared her down.

"Was there something else?"

Daphne shook her head, and randomly threw her arms around Ace's neck pulling her into a hug; Ace backed away a little so Daphne couldn't tell anything. When Daphne finally let her go, Ace just stared at her confused.

"It means so much to Scooby.. and Us.."

Slowly Ace started getting mad, or maybe it was the hormones. Either way, she wished Daphne would just leave before things got too far.

"Why, because you don't want the best dog ever to walk in on the two couples having sex? Or maybe he's just a drag for you guys. You never really get any mysteries solved do you? You and Freddy always splitting up together.. Probably go make out and have sex somewhere. And Shagg---" Ace had to stop, she was letting this go to far and the thought of Shaggy with Velma made her stomach flop. Daphne just stared at Ace in awe, but her face started turning the same shade of purple as her dress. Ace couldn't stop herself from smiling as she turned her back to Daphne.

"I know there was more Daphne, you can't lie to me about it. I invented that shit."

"Fine, Why? Why did you have sex with Shaggy? We all knew Velma liked him.."

Ace clutched the kitchen counter tighter; her knuckles turning a pale colour.

"No Daphne. You all knew.. I loved Shaggy.. I really did. I thought... I thought he loved me to. But I guess not.. I was never good enough for the mystery gang.. I was never good enough to be Shaggy's friend. I finally realized that. You guys, never wanted me to be his friend in the first place. My family, my life... But you know what Daphne.. I'm done trying to avoid him, I really am. I love it how the mystery gang questions me, but never him," Ace turned around slowly,"You guys would never have been happy with me being with Shaggy. You would've picked, poked and prodded until we split. I didn't know Velma liked Shaggy, if I did... I probably would've never slept with him.. I respect Velma as MUCH as she hates me... but you know what Daphne!? I DID!! And now here you are, asking me why? Well here's a question for you... Why are you coming at me, asking me why I did it? You guys will never let me live it down will you? Shaggy won't hear a damn thing about this.. He never has. But here I am, trying to survive without Shaggy, but yet I have no choice but to think about him everyday.. That night.. he gave me something.. Something that I will NEVER regret no matter how hard you guys make my life a living hell.."

Ace lifted her shirt and turned to the side causing Daphne to gasp loudly; Ace laughed.

"Yes Daphne... Shaggy and I are having a baby."
