Disclaimer: I don't own any "Four Brothers" characters. This might be kind of cheesy but I like it. And I know that there would probably be more swearing than this, but I don't like writing like that so this is the best I'll do. Enjoy! Read and review please!!

Shae was sitting in the bathroom at the restaurant where she worked. She was in one of the stalls sitting on the toilet with the lid down. She was staring at the floor.

"Shae, honey, you ok?" Shae's best friend and co-worker was standing outside the stall.

"Uh, can you read this for me?" Shae opened the stall door and handed Angie the pregnancy test.

Angie stared at it. "Honey, this says plain and clear, pregnant."

Shae stared at her. "I think I'm gonna be sick," she told her and ran back into the stall.

"It's Jason's, isn't it?"

"Of course it is. I haven't been with anyone else. Oh, my God how am I gonna tell him? How am I gonna tell my brothers?"

Angie laughed. The bathroom door opened and another waitress came in and told them they had to hurry. "I'm goin' out Shae. I'll cover for you till you're ready."

Shae leaned against the sink a minute later. She splashed cold water on her face then stared at her reflection. It had been six weeks since Jason had left. He was now in Arizona for Spring Training. Her brothers were still in town. Angel had moved out with Sophi, but Jack and Bobby were still there in the house. She wetted a paper towel and placed it on her neck. She looked back up at her reflection then straightened her clothes and went out of the bathroom.

The next morning Jack was walking to the bathroom when he heard Shae inside. He could hear her throwing up and he knocked softly on the door.

"You ok in there?" he asked her.

"Yeah, Jackie, I'm ok," he heard her reply. He heard the sink come on then she walked out of the bathroom. She smiled at him. "I think I might have a stomach virus or something. I'm gonna call the school and stay home today." She smiled at him again then disappeared into her room.

Bobby came out of his room as Jack was heading out of the bathroom. Jack told him Shae was sick and was staying home from work. Bobby went to Shae's room and knocked lightly then opened the door.

"Hey, you alright?" he questioned.

"Yeah," she told him. She was laying on her right side on her bed, staring at the TV. He started out of the room. "Wait, Bobby," she pulled herself up and sighed. "I'm…Bobby, I'm pregnant."

He looked at her and furrowed his brows. "Wait, what?"

She looked at the floor. "I found out yesterday. I've been sick for a while and I just finally decided that's what it was. I haven't told Jason yet."

"So, it's his?"

She looked at him. "Yeah, it's his. Hopefully now since you're gonna be an uncle to his child you can be nice to him and show him some respect."

"I'm sorry Shae we never meant to-"

"I know what you were trying to do, Bobby. I appreciate you being my big brother, but I love him and now I'm gonna have his baby."

"I love you, Shae, I was just trying to be a good brother."

"And I love you, too, Bobby and that's why I'm willing to forgive you." She got up from the side of the bed and gave Bobby a hug. "I guess I should go tell Cracker Jack. You think I can get the baby to call him Uncle Cracker Jack?"

He smirked. "I'm sure he'd really like that." He followed her out of the room and downstairs to the kitchen.

Jack was sitting at the kitchen table, eating a bowl of cereal. "Jackie," Shae said, getting his attention. "I gotta tell you something. I'm having a baby; you're gonna be an uncle."

Jack's eyes got really wide, making Shae laugh. "Really? You're having a baby?"

"Yeah," she told him and he jumped up to hug her. He lifted her up.

"Ok, no more I'm gonna be sick," she told him and went running up the stairs. When Shae came out of the bathroom, she went into her bedroom and sat on the edge of her bed with her phone in her hand. She opened it and closed it over and over. Then finally she opened it and dialed Jason's number. It rang twice before he answered. She breathed heavily.

"Shae, are you there?" he asked her.

"Yeah, I'm here."

"You ok?"

"Jason, I have something I need to tell you." She sighed heavily again. "I, uh, well, we're gonna…Jason I'm having a baby. Well, you and I are having a baby." There was silence on the other end of the line. "Jason?"

"Yeah, I'm here."

"I was just as shocked."

"I just almost fell out of my chair."

They both laughed. "So, what do you think?"

"What do you mean, what do I think? Is there something in particular I'm supposed to be thinking? Right now I'm kind of shocked and don't really know what to think."

"What are we gonna do?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, am I raising this baby on my own? I don't really want to leave Detroit and I know you love playing baseball. I don't think either of us want to give anything up, so I guess my question is really are we doing this together?"

"I want to. I love you Shae; I don't want you doing this by yourself. Can you come to Arizona for a visit while we're in Spring Training? Then we can really talk about this in person. You can come out during your Spring Break."

"Yeah, that would be perfect."

"I'll talk it over with the coaches and everything; if we're traveling you can go with us, ok?"

"Yeah that sounds good. Hey, Jason."

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"I love you, too. And I'm excited Shae, I really am."

Over the break and time Shae was with Jason they agreed that he would continue the season out with his team then they would make a better decision. She agreed with him that traveling with him while he played was not a good idea during her pregnancy. Plus, she told him over and over she didn't want to leave Detroit. When it was all said and done they really hadn't resolved much at all, but they had been able to spend some quality time together.

As Shae drove home from the airport she diverted and headed to the cemetery. It was dark out so she grabbed the flashlight from her trunk and headed through the snow to her mother's grave. She stood in front of it with a smile for a moment. Then the tears began to sting her eyes. Her mother, the one person she cherished most in the world, wasn't going to be there to see her through this, or see her grandchild come into the world or grow up.

She pulled up to the house and sat in her car for a minute. She wiped at her eyes and stared at the house. She thought about what leaving that house would be like. It was the only place she had lived since she was five years-old and before that she couldn't even remember how many houses she had been in. But, if being with the man she loved meant leaving that house then she was prepared to have to make that sacrifice. She wanted her child to have a stable and loving home, something she had only had at the Mercer home.
