Don't own anything.
Okay, this has Mac and Stella in it, and others hopefully... Loads of friendship in this chapter, Enjoy!
Stella looked over at Jess, "You okay?"
Jess looked up, "Ya, why?"
Stella smiled, "You haven't touched any of your food and you've been ignoring everything I said since we got here."
Jess grinned sheepishly, "Sorry. I have a lot on my mind."
Stella looked at her thoughtfully, "It can't be the case, we finished that. Is it Flack?"
Before Jess could answer, their drinks were served.
Beth, the waitress, looked at Jess, "Here's your ginger ale. Why didn't you order a beer? You're off duty."
"I'm trying to cut down on the alcohol."
As Jess grabbed her drink Stella watched, Jess always ordered a beer, but lately she'd been drinking ginger ale, she seemed sicker, and she had gained some weight.
Stella looked at Jess, all those things were signs of pregnancy...
Jess noticed Stella looking at her weirdly, "Stell?"
Jess saw the look in Stella's eyes, she knew her secret.
Stella smiled, "You got some news Jess?"
Jess nodded, Stella was one of her best friends. If she couldn't trust her, then who could she trust?
"I'm pregnant."
Stella nodded, "Flack's?"
"Ya, but I haven't told him."
Stella reached over and squeezed Jess's hand, "Don't feel so bad, you'll tell him soon, and chances are, he knows already. If he does, I would tell him soon or he'll be hurt that you kept it from him."
Jess smiled sadly, "I know, but we've never talked about this. We've only been together for a five months."
"How far along are you?"
Jess shrugged, "I don't know. I haven't gone to a doctor or anything."
Stella stood up, "Well you are going to. Now let's get back to the lab, maybe something happened."
They paid the check, then walked out the door.
Mac looked up as Flack walked into his office, "Hey."
Flack sat down, "Mac, what would you do if you thought Stella was pregnant and she hadn't told you?"
Mac stared at Flack, "I don't know. Why are you asking? Is something wrong with Jess?"
Flack shrugged, "I don't know. Jess has seemed off lately. She is always pale and tired, she can't go near the body at a scene and she's always rushing to the washroom. I noticed last night when we were... sleeping, that she had gained some weight. I think she's pregnant Mac."
Mac sighed, "Has she said anything?"
Flack shook his head, "No, nothing."
"If I thought Stell was pregnant then I would wait for her to tell me. Don, if Jess is pregnant, then she will tell you, Jess isn't the type of person to keep that from you. If she hasn't told you yet, then maybe she's scared."
Flack frowned, "Why? I wouldn't abandon her."
"Have you ever talked about it?"
Again Flack shook his head, "No, but Jess has to know that I would be there for her."
Mac looked at him, "She knows you're a good person Don, but how is she going to know your reaction when you two have never talked about it?"
Flack got up, "I don't know, I'm gonna go find Jess. See you"
Mac watched as Flack walked out, passing Stella on her way.
Stella walked up and gave Mac a kiss on the cheek, "What was that all about?"
Mac smiled, "Flack thinks Jess is pregnant."
Stella nodded, "He's right then."
"What?" Mac looked at Stella, "She is?"
"Yep, she's in the break room right now, is he looking for her?"
Mac nodded, "I wonder what's gonna happen...?"
Stella shrugged, "I don't know. Where is everyone?"
This time it was Mac's turn to shrug, "I don't know."
"Well let's go find them, I think Flack and Jess should have privacy."
After a nod from Mac, Stella led him out the door.
Okay, Mac and Stella are in a relationship, in case you were wondering (just added in summary), and the scene with Flack and Jess is in the next chapter.
