You're the best, all of you. I'm having a crappy day and each time I see someone left a review, or an alert, brings a smile to my face. Thank you.

Needless to say, she was right. About the suspect, I mean. A day after we spoke to her, we got the man. He had the exact same description she told us which, obviously, got my cousin insisting that I take a pregnancy test (or two, according to Malia) to make sure I was (not) pregnant. And I kept insisting I wasn't which at this point I was not completely sure of because of the dizziness I felt a few hours later. But then I changed my mind because I'm sure my body was just playing a trick on me.

God, I don't make any sense now.

"Just do it," Chin said once again.

"Would you stop it?"

"Hey, what's going on?" Danny interrupts our banter and I remain in silence for my own sake.

"The fortune teller said Kono was pregnant," Chin speaks.

"Which is a complete lie," I insist.

"She was right about the suspect," Chin says and Danny nods, "Meaning she could be right about you as well."

"How many times..? Look, if I were pregnant I would know, alright? I don't need a stranger to tell me whether or not I'm carrying a child!"

"But you're hesitating," Chin says, "I see the doubt in your eyes. You're not even sure about it yourself."

Damn him for being right most of the time.

"Fine, for your sake," and mine, truth be told, "I'm gonna take a pregnancy test and you will see just how fake she is."

"I doubt it," Danny whispers and I smack his arm, hard, "Wasn't she right about the guy? "

"Shut up!"

Half an hour later I was back with not one but two pregnancy tests just for the sake of it. I had this uneasy feeling inside my chest. What if she was right? What if I was really pregnant and I was just lying to myself about it? Most importantly, what am I going to do? How will I tell the father? I know he will probably freak out about it but he would never leave me alone. I know him and I know he's a good, responsible man but it scares me to think that whatever happened between us was meaningless to him.

I don't want to tell my child, if there is one, that his dad didn't love him or thought he was a mistake. No child should feel unloved by their parents.

I go straight to the ladies room and lock the door behind me.

I can't believe I have to pee on a stick. Of all the things I thought I would be doing at work, this was definitely not one of them.

'Wait five minutes'

Alright. I can do that.

There's a knock on the door and the voice of Danny and Chin on the other side made me release a breath I had no idea I was holding. For a minute I thought it was Steve.

"What's going on?" Danny asks from behind the door, "Is it ready yet?"

"No. Just give me a minute."

The (eternal) five minutes passed and my eyes diverted from the door to the two sticks in front of me. I take both of them with shaky hands, and I read the instructions I was holding in my right hand.

'Two pink lines; you're pregnant. One pink line; you're not"

"Let's see…" I whisper to myself, taking a peek at the tests. "Two pink lines."

Oh dear God.

"Two pink lines…"

"What is it?" Chin knocks on the door and speaks desperately, "Kono?"

"Two pink lines," I speak, though I'm not sure if they can actually hear me.

"What?" Danny speaks this time. And I open the door quickly, the air inside the ladies room getting thicker by the second. I feel like I can't breathe and the information is too much to process in one instant.

"I'm pregnant."

The only thing I feel are two arms wrapped around my waist, squeezing me tight and my heart beats so hard inside my chest that I think it's gonna pop out through my mouth. I've never seen Danny so excited before; I guess it brings back memories for him about Gracie. Chin, on the other hand, is a mixture of concerned, happy and something I just cannot read.

"I can't believe she was right…"I whisper, being the only thing I'm able to say.

"I told you," Chin whispers and hugs me once Danny releases me from his tight embrace. "Congratulations, cuz!"

"Oh God, I'm having a baby," I say all of a sudden, everything sinking in all together. "What am I gonna do?"

"Hey! We're gonna worry about that later, alright?" Danny reassures me, "Right now the only thing you have to worry about is… well you know? Talking to the baby's daddy."

Oh that. Yeah, I forgot about that.

"Because you are going to tell him, right?" Chin says, though he never asked who the guy is, he's more worried about me being a single mother.

"I don't know," I say sincerely, "I'm not sure what his reaction is going to be. I mean… it was a one-time only thing"

"But you do know who he is…"

"What kind of question is that, Danny? Of course I do!"

And quite frankly, you do too.

"The thing is, I'm not sure he actually remembers what happened 'cause we were sort of… drunk."

"Just how drunk?"

"Wasted."

To be honest, he was the wasted one; I was sort of bouncy but very much able to stop him. The thing is I didn't want to. He wasn't a rude drunk either; he was very much sweet and lovable, and respectful. This was one of the reasons why I never forgot about it, except now of course because being pregnant by one night stand was not my idea of becoming a mother. Being loved by him was the best night of my life.

"Still, if you know who the guy is then maybe you should contact him and let him know he's going to be a father."

Not so much for contacting him though, he's closer than they think.

"I'm not sure…"

"Kono, you have to tell him. No matter how much of a jackass he might be, he has to know he's becoming a father," Chin insists.

"He's not a jackass. He's the sweetest, bravest man I've ever known."

"I thought you said it was a one-time only thing?" Danny asks, curious.

"It was."

"So, that means you had a one night stand with someone you know?" he asks again. It was definitely not the right time for him to interrogate me, especially since I know if he keeps asking I might speak more than I should.

"Something like that, yes."

"Who is this guy? And where is he?" Chin asks, the overprotective side of him showing immediately.

"Chin…"

"If he walked away on you like that, he's gonna get his ass kicked, by the three of us" Danny interferes, "Wait until Steve knows about this. That man will not see it coming."

"He doesn't have to…"

"What? Kick that man's ass? Of course he does! Remember when he said nobody messes with his team? He meant nobody messes with you. When he finds out you're having a baby on your own, he's gonna freak out and surely he's gonna cut some bit…"

"Steve is the father!" I yell before Danny could continue with his ramble. Both men snap their heads towards me, shock written on their faces.

Maybe I should have been a little softer at sharing the news?

"Well, I guess HE's gonna get his ass kicked."
