Quentin promised not to tell anything about Nyssa being pregnant. It was her thing to say. But since he was the only one who knew, he watched her from the distance. Almost everything was same about her, but the fact she is not out of the room before noon. He would sometimes sneak in some saltines and tea to make her feel better.
''Thank you very much…''
''My wife didn't have these problems, but when one of the girls in the station was pregnant, she felt so bad and this was what helped.''
''Thank you.''
''You are welcome…''
Sara noticed how her father treated Nyssa in a different manner. He was in a way looking out for her. His eyes were always on her and it almost looked as he was protecting her from something. He was on alert when she was with Nyssy and often told her not to lift her or do some things they were doing. Diggle and Oliver teased her that now Nyssa is new favorite daughter he has and that after some weird bonding session they saw on the bathroom floor she became his favorite child. Sara had to know what was going on. She found her dad in the living room reading the papers. She sat next to him and simply asked…
''What is going on with you and Nyssa?''
''Me and Nyssa?''
''Yes, you are always watching out for her, you treat her in a different way…''
''Talk to her…''
''Dad…''
''Go to Nyssa…''
''Fine!''
She climbed to Nyssa's room and when she got in, she heard Nyssa in the bathroom throwing up. She went to the bathroom and saw Nyssa sitting on the floor with her head in the hands.
''Oh, my God, are you ok?''
''I will be soon…''
''What is going on? How long did you have this bug?''
''It's not a bug Sara…''
''What is it?''
''I am pregnant…''
''WHAT?''
''I am pregnant…''
''How?''
Nyssa smiled at her…
''The regular way… I had sex with a man….''
Sara sat on the floor beside her. She had to process this… NYSSA HAD SEX WITH A MAN… She really had to process this because Nyssa doesn't sleep with men. Then she got frightened… Her dad was protective of Nyssa…
''Do I know him?''
''Yes…''
''Are you close to him?''
''You can say that…''
They both had a smirk on their faces. If she was not before, she is now. The man got her pregnant, so she had to be close to him.
''Is he close to me?''
''Yes…''
''Please, don't tell me it's my dads'….''
''Sara, you are crazy… No, it's not his… But he knows…''
''Who is it?''
''It's not important…''
''I am guessing it's not Oliver or Diggle?''
''No, it's not them…''
''Who is it then?''
''Haassan…''
Sara's heart broke for a moment. Haasan was a very handsome men who always loved Nyssa more than life. He was her friend, her protector and the only person who knew her, beside Sara. She was hurt that they crossed that limit of friendship and affair.
''Nyssa…''
''What?''
''He is…''
''He is a good man who was there for me…when it was hard and I needed someone. He was my rock Sara… He helped me with things and he always loved me. He gave me love I needed…''
''You needed or you believed I would never give you?''
''Sara, I am not playing the blame game now… You asked, and I am giving you answers…''
''Are you lovers?''
''No, not anymore…''
''Since you got pregnant?''
''Since I came to see Nyssy… For Christmas. ''
Sara had million questions and mixed feelings.
''Why did you do it Nyssa?''
''Slept with him or decided to keep the baby?''
''Both…''
''I need an heir and you are not giving me Nyssy…''
''But you took the league… I always believed we would leave together and…''
''Sara, it's my home…''
''I believed I was your home…''
''You are… But… I know you don't understand, and I am not forcing you to understand or agree… But I am proud of who I am… Maybe you didn't think it was moral or good what we did. But I can tell you that I remember we were happy then… Question is, are you happy now Sara?''
Nyssa got off the floor and went to take a shower and Sara stayed sitting there.
Nyssa finished her shower and saw Sara sitting on the floor at the same place she left her.
''Sara? Are you ok?''
''Drop the towel… I was to see if there is any bump?''
''No, there is nothing. It's too early…''
''How far along are you?''
''My guess is seven to eight weeks…''
''Oh, it's tiny then…''
''Yes, it is…''
''Did you see a doctor?''
''No, not yet...''
''Want to go?''
''I don't know. I was never in this situation…''
''Neither have I.''
''You were pregnant…''
''Yes, but this is the first time someone close to me is pregnant and I don't know how to act…''
''Lyla was pregnant…''
''But she was not my wife…''
Nyssa was surprised with the comment.
''And you still see me as your wife?''
''I do… I still see you as big part of my world and I have hated all this time we were not talking and not good.''
''We are still not good Sara…''
''But we are talking… So, that's a progress..''
''We will never be the same.''
''We can aim for the better.''
''I know…''
''I love you Nyssa…''
''I love you too… But I am not leaving my world Sara…''
''I know… I know…''
''You are welcome in it, but I will not give it all up again for you…''
''For me?''
''My dad almost killed me two times because I picked you over everything. I can't do that anymore Sara. I can't give it all up and have you change your mind in a year or two…''
Nyssa was right… It was time to end the blame game and start being mature and make choices and decisions that would be best for all. But she still felt trapped. Sara got off the floor and came to Nyssa. She took the towel of Nyssa's body and started examining it…. You will be beautiful pregnant lady…''
''How were you?''
''FAT!''
''I bet you were beautiful.''
''First time I was sad. You were dead… And I wanted you so much.''
''I am here if you want me. We will have to work hard to make it work… and make us function…''
Sara kissed Nyssa and broke the kiss…
''I can't go to Nanda Parbat…''
''Why?''
''I will kill Haasan…''
''Nyssa giggled…''
''Oh, you learn to live with it… Look and me and the tights boy… He is still alive…''
''You always had more patience and I have no guaranties you are not plotting some long term revenge…''
Nyssa smiled to that…
''True, true… I might cut his tights and make it like those biker shorts…''
''Oh, my God! You are crazy….''
''I am… Crazy about you…''
''Me too…''
After very long time, Sara and Nyssa managed to spend time not arguing or placing the blame. Nyssa got dressed and left the bathroom.
''What do you want to do now?''
''No sex Sara, I want to spend time with Nyssy…''
''I was not…''
Nyssa gave her a look.
''You were feeling me up…''
''In my defense, you were naked…''
''I was in the shower…''
''Doesn't matter… Naked that counts…''
''Let's go… Nyssy is waiting for me…''
As they were leaving the room, Sara stopped her.
''Are we going to be Ok?''
''I think that if we try hard, we will make it Sara… I just need to know that you are ready to save our relationship….''
''I am… We just need to find the way…''
''I know…''
They went outside where Nyssy was making snowman with Oliver and Diggle. As soon as she saw them she run into Nyssa's arms.
''Mom, Nyssa, let's make snow angels…''
She pulled them to deeper snow and Sara felt like there is hope after all…
