"Hey Finn, can I stop by?" Maybeck asked; trying not to sound too excited over the phone.

"Sure, Amanda's here too" Finn answered, slightly surprised at the request as he heard a click on the other end.

"Who was that?" Amanda asked.

"Maybeck. Apparently he wants to come over" Finn said, still confused.

"Didn't you say he was going to talk to Philby?"

"Yeah I had to practically push him to do so, but I knew it would probably knock some sense into him, or at least get him and Charlene on speaking terms again."

"Yeah, I went to see her too and I think if they just talked it out, everything would return to normal" Amanda sighed, "I hope everything works out."

"Me too."

10 minutes later

"Hey Maybeck…oh Charlie, hi" Finn said as he answered the door as they walked through the door with grim faces.

"Hi guys, wait, I didn't know you were coming Charlene" Amanda said, just as shocked as Finn was.

"I didn't either" Finn said, looking at them for an explanation.

Charlene apparently couldn't hold it in any longer as she held up her left hand, "I said yes!"

Amanda was the first to show any kind of reaction as she squealed with excitement as her and Charlene hugged. Finn just stood, dumbfounded as Maybeck approached him and held out his hand, "thanks Finn, I wouldn't have had the guts to talk to her if it hadn't been for you and Philby."

Finn grinned and shook Maybeck's hand, "Philby was able to get through to you that much huh?"

"Well it was kind of a combination of both of your pep talks, but Charlie actually showed up at my house which means," Maybeck turned around to Amanda, "I should probably be thanking you" he said as Charlene nodded in agreement.

"I'll never be able to thank you enough for talking some sense into me Amanda" Charlene said, glancing at Maybeck, "Both of you."

"Talk about group effort" Finn chuckled.

"Finally, everything is the way it should be!" Amanda exclaimed as she hugged Finn.

"Well, yeah, hopefully" Maybeck said as he hung his head.

"What's wrong dude?" Finn asked, suddenly worried that there was something he was missing.

"When I left Philby and Willa's house, I couldn't help the feeling that something was wrong with her. She didn't look good, very pale and sickly looking you know, it just gave me this bad feeling inside" Maybeck said as Charlene looked up at him.

"Why didn't you say something?" she asked.

"I forgot until just now," Maybeck confessed.

"I wonder what's wrong" Finn thought, as he looked over at Amanda, whose solemn face was now turned into a huge grin. "What?" Finn chuckled.

"No way" Amanda whispered.

….

"Willa?" Philby said, as he slowly walked toward the girl lying on the bed with a washcloth on her forehead. "Honey, are you ok?" he asked.

She sat up and crossed her legs and face Philby as he took a seat beside her. Philby took the rag from her and started gently wiping her face that had a hint a sweat on it.

"What's wrong?" he whispered in a worried voice, taking notice that she was extremely pale, "you look sick."

"I'm fine" Willa shook her head.

"Willa, you're not fine. Have you seen yourself lately? And you've been an emotional wreck the last few days" Philby said, "This has nothing to do with the wedding I'm assuming."

Willa looked him in the eye, almost answering Philby's question in that one glance.

"Philby" she whispered.

"I'm listening" he insisted, hoping she would explain so he wasn't in agony over how sickly she looked.

"Do you think?" she asked, eyeing her husband.

Philby just looked at her in confusion, than the light bulb went off, "Do I think…wait…Willa?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you…? Wait, am I going to be a…Willa?" Philby's face paled as quickly as Willa's had. She simply looked at him as a tiny smile crept on her face. All of Philby's assumptions of what was wrong with Willa went away in that single glance as he leaned forward, taking her by surprise, and captured her lips in a kiss that made Willa's brain go fuzzy. "Willa" he gasped for air as he looked at her with loving eyes, "Are you pregnant?"

A quiet giggled escaped her lips as she said, "Yes."

I don't know why, but I think this is one of my favorite chapters I've ever written. :) -Amanda

Ok, so to answer a few questions, I don't agree that somebody can keep dating if they turn down a proposal. I believe that if you're in a relationship, it is because eventually you would move toward marriage so I put my beliefs into my story.

The other question I'll answer is, normally signs of pregnancy are morning sickness and some become very emotional.

So there ya go! Comment :)
