You guys you have NO idea how happy I am with all the reviews! I'm so incredibly grateful for every single word of encouragment, to all who said they already love this fic. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!

My apologizes if Steve is a little (or maybe a lot) of OCC.

btw, this is not your average fuffly story. You'll see :) I LOVE YOU ALL!

"Where is he now?" Chin asks us, looking at his office and finds it completely empty.

"Chin.."

"You're gonna tell him about the baby right now!" He orders me. Some other time I would have snapped because he was sort of yelling at me, but he was upset. It was better for me to stay quiet when Chin is upset. "You're not gonna have this baby on your own when the father is right here!"

"Of course I can! Do you honestly think I'm gonna tell my kid he was conceived over one night stand?"

He looks down, sighing heavily and running a hand over his face. I felt like a fifteen year old girl talking to her father.

"Raising a child alone is not easy, Kono," he speaks softly, as if I were having a hard time understanding the implications of all this. "You can't just carry the entire world on your shoulders."

"I can and I will," I state, "I will not be the first or the last single mother on earth."

"I'm sorry but I do think Steven deserves to know," Danny speaks. "I mean what do you know? He might be happy about it."

"He doesn't even remember, Danny," I explain, "how can he be happy over a baby he doesn't even remember conceiving in the first place?"

"Still think you should give him a chance. See how he will react."

"And what if he says he doesn't want him? What do I do now; pretend it didn't happen and move on?" I speak seriously, "No, I'm not taking chances with this. I don't want to risk whether or not my child is loved by his father"

"So you're not going to tell him?" Chin asks. I know he's doing it for my own sake. If I decide to keep this a secret (which it wouldn't because of obvious reasons) there's no turning back.

Sighing, I give him my final answer. "No. Steve will obviously know I'm pregnant, I can't hide it. But he will never know this baby is his."

"Fine. But all I'm saying is you're making a mistake."

Maybe I was…

Two hours later, Steve comes back to the office with a wide smile on his face. He was happy; whatever happened that got him into this state must have been fantastic. We don't see him smile that often.

Chin looks at me from across his office, shaking his head. He's mad and I understand why, but he also has to understand things from my end. I cannot take chances with my child and I can't keep wondering whether he will be happy about this or not. And I certainly can't force him to be by my side just for the sake of our child. No, I got into this mess on my own, though I can hardly call it a mess.

"What's gotten into you?" Danny asks to which he receives a bright smile from Steve.

"Something fantastic happened!" he says. Yes, you're gonna be a daddy.

"What?"

"Wait here."

He runs out again and disappears behind the glass doors, only to return with a blonde haired woman by his side. Oh man, I have a bad feeling about this.

"Guys, you've heard of Stacie Johnson?" he says proudly, and she gives us a broad smile and a light wave of her hand.

We've heard of her before, slight comments but nothing more than that. She's more beautiful than I thought. Her long blonde hair cascading down her shoulders, with bright blue eyes. She looked like a model if you ask me.

"Hi," she whispers shyly.

"There's something we want to share with you." They look at each other, loving looks and suddenly I feel sick to my stomach. Nothing good can come out of Steve looking at a woman like that, even if this is the jealous I am feeling talking. Like I said, I have a bad feeling about this. "Stacie and I are getting married."

WHAT THE HELL?

She shows us the ring which is beautiful with a big, shiny diamond on it. It cost more than my paycheck, that's for sure. And once again the jealousy kicks in. I stole a glance from Chin, standing by my side, and the words 'I told you so' almost slip out of my mouth. I knew there was a reason to keep quiet. I just knew it.

"Speaking of wonderful news," Chin interrupts and I snap my head towards him, frowning angrily, "guess what?"

"Chin…"

"Kono is pregnant," he speaks purely out of anger and I want to curl into a ball and die.

Next thing I know, Stacie pulls me in for a tight hug and I don't know whether to push her away or hug her back, so I stand there frozen in my spot. She caught me off guard, who would have known? Finding out I was having Steve's baby and then him telling us he's getting married to another woman. I call that karma.

"We MUST celebrate," Stacie speaks, and the mere thought of bonding with her makes me wanna puke.

"I can't drink, sorry." What a lame excuse, but I had to come up with something.

"You still have to go out with us. This is a special occasion," she insists and I just hate how cheerful she is.

Strangely enough, I get congratulated by Stacie in the form of a hug, who is a complete stranger to us, but all I get from Steve is an odd look which bothers me and makes me want to carve a hole in the ground to climb into and never come out again. He should be happy, you know? He's getting married to a supposedly good woman, but instead he's just standing there, watching me with narrowed eyes while his future wife (which hurts my very soul to call her that) is making plans.

"Congratulations," he finally whispers, to which he finalizes with a warm hug. My hormones decided to play tricks on me right that instant, because a tear rolls down my cheek. "You're gonna be a great mother."

Sweet Jesus. He was trying to punish me with his sweetness.

"Thank you…" I wipe away my tear and smile weakly.

"So! Drinks are in order." He suddenly snaps and the change of mood caught me off guard, "Not for you though. Sorry"

Damn. Just when I needed to get drunk to death.

Just my luck.
