Several days passed and Etcetera still wasent able to hold any food down. She thought she was getting better. But she only got wrose. One afternoon she got sick again.

"Etcetera, will you please go and see Tantomile!" Admetus begged as he helped Etcetera.

Etcetera whiped her mouth. "But Admetus. I don't think it's that serious." She said.

"Not that serious? How can you say that? Look at you. You can barley eat anything without getting sick." Ademtus said.

"I'm sure it's just a stomach flu." Etcetera said rinsing her mouth out.

Admetus sighed. "If it was a stomach flu I would have gotten it too Etcetera." Admetus protested.

He was right. She sighed. "If I go to tantomile's may I go alone?" Etcetera asked.

Admetus looked at her puzzled. "Alone? Why?" Admetus asked.

"Well," Etcetera started. "my mother is a nurse. And I don't know if she would be there or not. And I don't want her to-" Admetus cut her off by giving her a bone crushing hug. She never relized how strong he was.

"I understand." Admetus said hugging her tighter.

"Addie." Etcetera gasped out.

Admetus released his grip on her. "Sorry." He said.

Etcetera stood on her toes and lean up giving Admetus a kiss. He was really tall and Etcetera was so short. Her head was at the same length with his shoulders. Etcetera found it irritating sometimes. She hated being short. Admetus didn't care about her height. He thought she was rather cute being so short.

"I'll go to Tantomiles when afternoon comes around. For now why dont we eat something. I'll cook breakfast." Etcetera offered.

"Sounds good." Admetus said.

Etcetera went into the Kitchen and began to cook. Admetus sat at the table and read from a newpaper that was delivered to everyone. Of course. Right on the front page was Macavity. Etcetera shook her head. She wonder what the paper would do without Macavity running around causing mischief. A couple of minutes later Etcetera went to use the bathroom. Before she went to the bathroom she looked in the mirror. She frowned. Something seemed rather different from her. Her stomach was some what swollen. She found this very strange. She wonder if Admetus noticed it.

"Must be from my illness." She thought to herself pressing her hand on her abdomen. It was hard. She ignored it and went back into the kitchen to finish cooking breakfast. After Admetus and Etcetera finsihed eating they sat around the den and read for a couple of hours. When afternoon came around Etcetera kissed Admetus goodbye.

"I'm patrolling tonight. So I might be coming home a little late." Admetus said after Etcetera kissed him.

"Alright." Etcetera said.

"Will you be alright alone." Admetus asked.

Etcetera laughed. "Admetus Ive already been home alone several times." She replied.

Admetus looked away. "Oh... Sorry." Admetus said, obiously disapointed with himself.

Etcetera's eyes softed. She placed her hand on Admetus's cheek and directed his face so he was looking at Etcetera.

"Admetus, It's okay. There no reason for you to be upset." Etcetera said as she began to stroke his face.

Ademtus closed his eyes and place his hand on the hand that Etcetera had on his cheek.

"I'll be fine alone." Etcetera said finally.

Admetus took her hand off his cheek and gently kissed it. Etcetera turned away and left for Tantomiles den.

Etcetera arrived at Tantomiles den within a couple of minutes. She walked up to the door and gently knocked. Within a few seconds the door open. Tantomile's twin brother Coricopat stood in the door way. He politely gestured Etcetera inside and held the door open for her. Coricopat called for Tantomile and entered a different room leaving Etcetera alone. A couple seconds later Tantomile appeared out of another room. She walked over to Etcetera with a welcoming smile.

"Hello Etcetera." Tantomile greeted kindly. "Are you looking for you mother?"

'Hello Tantomile. I'm actually not looking for my mother. I'm actually here to see you. I need your help." Etcetera said.

"Well why didn't you say so. Follow me." Tantomile said entering a room. Etcetera followed her into what seem like a nurse's office. There was a little couch on the left side of the room. The right side of the room had a dresser with a wooden chair next to it. Above the desk was a cabit filled with herbs and medicines.

"Please have a seat." Tantomile said pointing to the little couch. Etcetera sat down on the couch and crossed her legs. She watched Tanto take out a little clipboard and a pencil. Tantomiled looked up at Etcetera.

"What brings you in?" Tantomile asked.

"Well, Ive been having trouble eating for the past week or two. I start to feel dizzy then I get sick. I can barley keep anything down." Etcetera explained.

Tantomile began writing down what Etcetera said. She pulled the wooden chair closer to Etcetera and sat down and began to ask questions.

"Have you had and parasites?"

"No."

"Do you have any genetic problems?"

"No"

"Are you allergic to anything?"

"No."

"Are you on any medication?"

"No."

"When was your last period?"

Etcetera didn't reply right away. She had not gotten her period in awhile. She began to wonder.

"Well... I would geuss... Maybe a month ago..." Etcetera answered quietly.

Tantomile stopped writing. She looked up from her clipboard. She looked concered. She slowly got up and walked over to her desk. She opened one of the drawers on the desk and fumbled around for something. Etcetera started to panic. She hoped it wasn't a vacination. She hated needles. Tantomile stopped fumble and grabbed what looked like a thermometer out of the drawer. She walked over to Ectetera and put it in her hand. It was a pregnancy test.

"The bathroom is in the next room." Tantomile said.

Etcetera's began to panic. She was scared of what she was going to find out. She got up and went to the bathroom and took the test. When she finished she exited the bathroom and handed Tantomile the pregnancy test. Tantomile set the pregnancy test on the table and sat in her chair waiting for the test results to come. Etcetera tapped her foot nervously waiting for the test results to come in. Tantomile noticed her and tryed to take her mind of the issue.

"So Etcetera how have you and Admetus been?" Tantomile asked trying to hide the concern in her voice.

"We've been pretty good. Just wish that mother would understand." Etcetera said.

Tantomile smiled. "Your mother will understand someday. She talked to me about it." She said looking over at the pregnancy test to see if the results were in.

Etcetera looked at her shocked. "She did?" Etcetera asked puzzled.

Tantomile nodded. "She asked me what she should do about you and Admetus. I simply told her she need to accept the fact that you two were in love. She really misses you." Tantomile said.

Etcetera looked down. "Why must people remind me how much my mother misses me." She thought to herself.

Tantomile picked up the pregnancy test to see if the results were in. When she read the test her expression changed. Etcetera watched Tantomile. She started to panic. She didn't know what to expect.

"Wh- what dose it say?" Etcetera studdered.

Tantomile sighed and looked up from the test at Etcetera. "It says positive." She said quietly.

Etcetera buried her face in her hands. How could this happen to her? She always told her self she wouldn't get pregnant so early. But now she was. And there was nothing she could do about it. She felt helpless and started to cry. How would she tell Ademtus? What would he say? She didn't know what to think or what to do. She cryed even harder. Tantomile got up out of her chair and wrapped arms around Etcetera giving her a tender hug.
