Hey everyone! So, here I am updating again (much quicker this time, huh?)! Thanks so much to: Catl, WindowChild, Ximena, and empresslim for reviewing! Thanks so much guys! Please review again!
"Sorry I'm late, the appointment with the doctor ran longer than I expected." Katie told Owen, she gave him a quick kiss and sat down next to him in the conference room.
"Everything's okay, right?" Owen asked quietly, "Does he know why you're stomach's been upset?" His blue eyes shined with care and honesty, it made Katie almost feel bad about getting pregnant.
"Yeah, he does…" Katie mumbled, hoping he wouldn't hear, unfortunately, he did.
"So, what's wrong then?" Owen asked, grabbing her hand and began rubbing it a little bit.
"Nothing really…" Katie said, trying to avoid the true answer, "I'm not quite sick."
"That's great! Then what did he say about your stomach aches?" Owen asked, a smile of relief immerging from his lips.
"That they won't go away for a while." Katie answered nervously.
"Does he know how long? Is it like indigestion or something?" Owen asked.
"Yeah, nine months." Katie said quietly.
Owen merely nodded, and they sat in silence for a while, she let Owen put the pieces together himself. Suddenly, his eyes widened in realization.
"Are you-" he began to ask, but was cut off by Merlin who began the meeting.
"Good, Katie, you're here. Now we can begin." Merlin said cheerfully, not knowing the true atmosphere of the room.

"Owen, are you okay?" Katie asked once the meeting was over. The meeting had felt like eternity, she could tell that Owen thought that two.
"I'm not sure." He replied truthfully, "It's just so… unexpected."
"Yeah well, I don't quite have control over these things." Katie replied sadly, "I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault, it's ours." He said, trying to be positive, "So what are we going to do?"
"Wait for nine months and than raise it?" Katie suggested, "I mean, what else is there to do?"
"There really isn't much else." Owen replied, looking down to the ground, "See you later, okay? I have to go and… do things."
"Yeah, sure. Are you sure you're fine?" Katie asked, she didn't want to admit it, but she wasn't fine. She was freaking out about not only the pregnancy and Owen's reaction, but also what happened after she gave birth. All the time the baby would take; she'd have to take a leave of absence from work.
"Yeah," he said, trying to be positive and believe what he was saying, "I'm fine."
Ooh, this chapter was short as well. Oh well. Anyways, please review! It means a lot if you do!
