*Tears were falling down Rachel's cheek as she sat on the bed with Mike's arms around her.
" Mike, What if something goes wrong"
" Don't start worrying. The only thing you should be worried about is how much Donna will spoil our child."*
Rachel and Mike sat in their own thoughts. Mike sat with his arms around Rachel while she nuzzled her face into his shoulder to hold back tears. They must've sat like that for hours on end, but eventually they both fell asleep. Rachel woke in the middle of the night for no particular reason, but though she would never admit it, she liked Mike's arms around her.
1 1/2 Months Later
Rachel wasn't sure how much baggy clothes she could take. No matter what, you could see her bump. Mike thought that they should tell people at the firm, but Rachel thought that it should only be told when absolutely necessary. She slid on her sleek baggy sweatpants and white ruffled dress shirt.
" I look like a homeless woman"
Rachel felt the tears run down her face.
Stupid hormones!"
During the past month a lot has changed. Mike got a car, his grandmother bought it for him a year ago he just never used it. Now, Mike picks her up every morning. She heard a soft knock on the door. Mike let himself in and walked into Rachel's bed room.
" Good morning"
Rachel replied with a nod. She was stressing over her looks. She felt like a fat, homeless woman.
" You look gorgeous,Rachel, you always do"
It was like he could read minds. He knew exactly what to say. In the car they rode with the same silence as every morning. It wasn't awkward it was peaceful.
" What about the baby's room."
Mike was confused " But we don't even know the sex..."
" Exactly! I'm five months Mike, and we don't have anything planned."
Rachel felt the lump rising in her throat, but she was determined not to cry and ruin her work makeup.
" The doctor said we will know the gender by our next visit. So we just have to wait until tommorow."
She nodded in agreement. Mike parked the car and went to open Rachel's door. She gave him a death glare. Why did everyone think they had to treat her different? The day went normal, except the fact that every associate treated her like a Queen, or like Donna, and felt the need to bow in my her presence. The ride home was filled with comments and questions about the baby. Girl or boy? What kind of theme should the nursery have? Rachel was filled with excitement. She was so confused that someone she hasn't really seen can own so much of her heart.
" When will we tell people?" Mike hesitantly said. Rachel hated this question, she felt her face frown. " Are you embarrassed of me? If you are you don't have to say I'm the father."
She saw his face sadden.
" No! It's not you, its just... What if no one takes me seriously. What if they think that I'm no longer a professional woman because I slept with an associate. "
They won't think that, but you need to tell them. I know you hate when I say this but you need to take it easy."
Rachel knew it was true, she has never been so tired in her life.
" Fine. After our doctors appointment, I will tell Jessica and Louis, and you can tell Harvey and Donna.
Meanwhile at The Office.
Harvey was packing his stuff up, until he heard the faint clicking of heels.
" Did you notice anything strange about the kid, and Rachel too?"
" The probably are having a childish fight about stealing each others crayons."
" I'm serious. Rachel hasn't spoken in a week, and it looks like Mike hasn't slept for weeks"
" Donna, he is a grown man and he can take care of himse-"
"Fix It... by tommorow"
She left before Harvey could argue not that he would dare.
The Next Day.
Doctors Office.
" Hello Miss Zane, How are you today?"
" Fine, Just tired."
Rachel and Mike fidgeted while he checked on the baby. They were anxious for the revealing of the gender.
" Congratulations, Your having a girl"
Rachel eyes lit up and Mike could barely contain himself.
" Oh m goodness, I'm having a little girl."
Mike propped his face to her belly and whispered, " Daddy's little princess" They sat in the car with big, cheesy grins on their faces.
" I know we have to work but can we make a quick stop"
Rachel knew exactly what he was doing.
They arrived at the nursing home and in room 310 was Ms. Ross.
" Grammy, I have exciting news to tell you. Rachel's pregnant. A baby girl."
Ms. Ross looked a Rachel up and down, and a smile crossed her lips. She was beyond excitement.
" I'm going to be a grandmother? Congratulations you two."
Rachel and his grandmother went on and on for about twenty minutes before Mike decided that they should leave. Rachel grabbed her purse and Mike grabbed his messenger and headed for the door. It was a whisper, but loud enough for everyone to hear.
" I Love you," said Ms. Ross "All three of you"
They tried to continue the day as if everything was normal but they couldn't help but give each other excited glances. It reached the end of the day and Mike gave a look to Rachel that sent her off to tell Jessica and Louis. Mike on the other hand was in charge of Donna ad Harvey. Rachel was lucky, Jessica and Louis were in the same room, she could kill two birds with one stone.
" Yes Rachel?"
Rachel didn't realize how scared she was until this moment. Rachel dug round in her purse nervously and she felt the sonograms in her bag. She took them out and handed them to her.
She mumbled, " I'm pregnant, five months, Mike's the father."
It takes alot to surprise Jessica but Rachel had managed to do so.
" Congratulations!" Jessica gave her a big hug. Louis sat there stunned.
Donna was first on his radar, because if he ever told Harvey first * he shuddered at the thought*
" Donna I have something to tell you"
Apparently Donna had been listening to Jessica yelling at Louis and heard what Rachel had said.
" Your pregnant! Well... you aren't but... I'm going to be a god-mother. And I WILL be the god-mother"
" Um, Sure. How did you know?"
" This intercom is my life"
Mike made a mental note to watch what he said in the break room.
" Mike, Can I tell Harvey? Please. Pretty-Please!"
" Sure" Mike was happy that he didn't have to.
He wasn't sure how he was going to react. Donna busted into Harvey's office without a single knock.
" Rachel's pregnant. Mike's the father!"
" Excuse me"
" You heard me"
"You're kidding"
Harvey was blown away. Not because of the father part, but because Rachel was way out of Mike's league!
Hope you enjoyed. I obviously have never been pregnant, (I'm a freshman in highschool,) so anything medical about the pregnancy could be inaccurate. For that I apologize. But.. Review! No Hate Please! :)
