Two chapters in one day! What a treat! YAY! I'm bored. Here you go. *cracks whip* BACK! BACK! BACK YOU CHAPTER GRABBING HARPIES! Just kidding, I love you all.
Three weeks passed and no change, except for the vomiting which had steadily increased. Tosh knew by this point, not from anyone telling her, but just by simple gut instinct.
Ianto had started giving Gwen decaf coffee, which was killing her soul slowly with fire, but Ianto just kept telling her,
"It's best for the baby" to which Gwen would quietly retort,
"It's my damn baby…" and continue grumbling, even though deep down, Gwen knew he was right.
Jack was being Jack and therefore a bother. Every day he asked Gwen how she felt about Owen, and every day she would come up with some excuse to not talk about it. Then, right at the end of her first trimester, this happened;
Gwen was standing at the top of the med bay stairs, on her way to give Owen a file, when she had an intense dizzy spell, she stopped.
"Gwen…are you okay?" Owen took a few steps toward the stairs.
"Yeah, I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?" Gwen was still trying to distinguish up from down.
"You look a bit peaky…and you've been throwing up a lot lately. Come here, let me see you."
"No, I'm fine." And with that, Gwen's world tipped and the next thing she saw were the stairs coming up at her. Then they stopped.
"Gwen! I told you, you aren't okay! Let me examine you. You nearly fell down the stairs and killed yourself!" He gave her his classic 'Are you mentally defective?' look.
"Yo- You caught me?" Gwen asked in a daze.
"Well, yeah, what was I supposed to do let you fall?"
"You saved me…" The world was becoming clearer.
"Well, if you're gonna put it that way…"
"Oh my God…" Gwen held on to Owen as she straightened up.
"Yeah, well, you can call me Owen." He smiled at the opportunity to be a twat. Gwen didn't get it right away, but when she finally did, she punched him in the arm and started to walk away.
"Oi, where are you off to? I need to do an exam!" He yelled after her.
"Sorry God." Gwen said condescendingly, "I need to see Jack" and with that, Gwen made a slow and wobbly trek to Jack's office.
"Jack! Ask me again!" Gwen was beaming.
"Ask what?" Jack sat behind his desk, quite confused.
"You know what! Just ask!"
"Pardon?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Come on Jack, don't be that guy. What do you ask me every day?" Gwen was still in a great mood. Jack being annoying wasn't even phasing her.
"Ummm…to do your admin?" He said hopefully.
"No! Well…that too, but what do you ask me about Owen?" Gwen was practically bouncing.
"Oh! How do you feel about him?"
"I LOVE HIM!" She yelled and spun around.
"You do?" Jack got up slowly.
"Yes! I wasn't so sure for the longest time, but he just saved my life, and in turn out child's life! So yes! I love Dr. Owen Harper!"
It was then that Gwen passed out. Little did she know that when she woke up, Owen would discover the secret she'd been keeping for nine weeks.
