Hi! Here's another short story for everyone. I hope you guys like it. I'm already working on the next one, which I am excited about! Also, I don't know that I know "Owen's" middle name so I made it up, if anyone knows what it actually is, I'd be delighted to change it! Enjoy.

"OWEN. MICHAEL. HUNT."

He is abruptly woken from his nap on the couch. Rubbing his eyes he looks around for the source of the voice.

"Amelia?" He questions.

"BEDROOM. NOW." She demands.

He lifts himself from the worn out couch and marches up the stairs to the source of the command.

"Honey, where are...what's the matter?"

"What's the matter...What's wrong... What's wrong, Owen? Is that what you want to know?" her panicked stricken face looks up at him.

"Amelia, sweetheart" he steps closer to her.

Before he could reach her, she grabs the white stick off the counter and holds it up in between them.

His mouth involuntarily opens and then he quickly bursts into an uncontrolled laughter. He rushes forward and scoops her up, spinning her around in circles.

He stops suddenly when he realizes his laughter is not being met with hers. He looks down to see tears streaming down her face and sheer terror in her eyes.

"Baby, no, no, don't cry. What can I do? What can I say? Tell me."

"Owen" she whispers "I'm so scared. I-I can't have a baby. What if I'm not a good mom, wh..what if he's born sick again? What if I'm not capable of making a healthy baby, I'm nothing but a failure."

She sobs as she slides to the floor; Owen quickly drops to his knees and wraps her in his arms.

"Amelia" he grasps her face and looks her in the eyes "You are the strongest, most beautiful woman I have ever met and I have not one doubt in my mind that you will be the most amazing mother to this little girl or boy. I know you're scared, hell, I am too, but I know whatever challenges lie ahead, we will get through it. Together."

Tears continue to fall as she whispers, "What did I do to deserve you? I don't deserve you."

"Honey, don't say that, yes you do. You deserve the sun, the moon, and all the stars, and I'm just part of that. Doing the best I can."

She leans up gently pressing her lips to his in a tender kiss. He deepens it and he can feel her melt into him.

Perfect. He thinks to himself. Smiling against her lips.

He breaks the kiss and reaches up to wipe her tears away. She smiles back at him and his heart almost bursts from the love he has for this woman and the child growing inside her.
