Tex rested her head in her hands. "Why didn't anyone tell me that being pregnant sucked." she said to herself. She had only closed her eyes for a minuet before she felt sick again. "This is worst then being shout."
"Hey, you alright?" she heard Church say on the other side of the bathroom door.
"I'm fine." she called back. Church opened the door to fined Tex sitting on the floor with her back resting against the wall. "Go away Church." she bit at him.
"Not till I make sure your fine. Come on, lets get you back to our room to rest." he said. "You think you can get up?"
"Yea, I got it." she said as he helped her up away. "You should go and meet Simmons. I'll go lay down." Church nodded and watched her go down the hall to their bedroom. He sighed and ran a hand though his spited hair.
"We're in for a long nine months." he said.
"Church, hey Church." he heard someone call.
"Yes, Caboose." he said.
"Simmons is looking for you." he said. "He is in the gray room."
"Caboose all the rooms are gray." he said a bit frustrated. "You know what, I'll find him." Church said as he walk away. He looked at his watch. It was only one o'clock, it was going to be a long day.
"Man you look like shit Church." Simmons commented when Church walked into the common room.
"Don't remember. Its been a long morning." Church said as he sat across form his once enemy.
"I guess so, first Tucker comes over to the base all pissed and now you." Simmons said. Whats up anyway?
"Tex and I are having a baby." he said. "And for some reason Tucker flip out on her about it and they both stormed off."
"A baby, well Cognations." Simmons said. "Though the idea of another girl like Tex running around is a bit scary." they both laughed at his statement.
"Yea, well Tex isn't all the bad, and besides I'm hoping for a boy." Church said. "I don't know how I will handle a girl with idiots like Tucker and Grif around."
"I hear ya." Simmons said. "But if it helps I know that Grif wouldn't do anything, remember he did raised his sister on his own, so hell know where your coming from."
"How do you now that?" Church asked curiously. "Their always fighting when their together and Sister is only has Caboose by a few IQ points."
"All siblings fight. It just means they care, and her IQ I dont think is Grifs fault." Simmons told him. "Besides he shout Tucker in the shoulder when he tried to kiss her. I think that shows something"
"No shit." Church said surprised. "He told us Sarge did it cause he didn't clean the warthog right or something like that."
"Well that does sound like Sarge, but anyway let start planning." Simmons said.
"Right." Church didnt know why he was able to talk to Simmons so easily. But he felt a little bit about his day.
"Yea ha! I win!" Grif yelled as the orange ball bounced along the court.
"Good game. "Tucker said panting. "What is it four to five?"
"No dude, I won seven games and you havent won any." Grif said as he grab his bottle of water and took a drink. At this point both men where dripping with sweat. Tucker sat on the grass to let his breath caught up with him.
"You know, for someone as lazy as you I didnt think youd be any good at basketball." Tucker said. "No affiance."
"None taken, but yea, basketball is fun. Im only lazy when it comes to doing work." Grif said throwing him the bottle of water.
"Thanks." he said as he squired it into his mouth.
"Hey Grif." they heard from their lightish red friend.
"Hi Donut." Grif greeted as Tucker just gave a wave.
"I just got a call from Simmons, he said that he is going to call Doc to come here tomorrow to look at Tex and that he wants us to do inventory to see if we need any medical supplies." he explained.
"Why is he coming to see Tex?" Grif asked. "She sick or something?"
"I don't know, he didn't say." Donut said.
"He's coming cause Tex is pregnant." Tucker told them.
"Ah a baby." Donut said. "I must throw Tex a shower. Its going to be great. We can have it here and . . ."
"I think you getting ahead of yourself Dude." Tucker said. "Tex doesn't seem to be the type of girl who would want a shower."
"Yea, remember when you tried to give Sarge a birthday party." Grif said. "I still cant look at cake the same way."
"You guys." Donut protested. "Every girl wants to be fussed over. Trust me."
"Donut, last time we trusted you, you turned the common room into rainbow land." Grif said.
"But isn't it better then everything being gray?" Donut said.
Grif just rolled his eyes and pulled out a cigarette and lighter. "You know." he as he took a drag. "Its times like these that makes me wonder why were here." he took another drag and blow the smoke upward.
"Hey Church, where's Tex" the purple armored soldier said as he walked near Blue Base with a big medical bag. Church didn't like the fact that Doc was the one to check on Tex but it was better then nothing.
"Hey Doc." Church greeted him. "She's inside. Fellow me." he said as the two went into the base.
Tex was sitting on the sofa in the common room. She was so bored. Thanks to Church he basically told her she couldnt do anything fun. No shooting practice, no schooling Grif at basketball, no working on Sheila. Nothing. He told her to try and relax, maybe read a book. But what Church didnt know was that she had read every book in the base her first two weeks of being here and she was sure the Reds didnt have any she would want to read. Simmons would be science journals, Donut with his glamour girl magazines, and she didnt want to think about the ones Grif had. Hopefully Doc will be able to talk Church into letting her do something.
"Hey Tex, ready for your exam?" she heard Doc say from behind her.
"Hey Doc." she greeted. "I guess, where do you want to do the exam at?"
"There is a medical room on the other side of the base. That would be best." Church said.
"That will be fine." The three of them walked down the hallway to the other side of the base.
The next day
