Kate looks at the telephone sighs pick it up and calls her mom. She dials the number it rings and a stranger answers it."Hello?"
"Is this Mrs. Freelanders number. Tell her its her daughter Kate calling."
"Some one on the phone for you. Mrs. Freelander she said her name is Kate. And she is your daughter."
The phone changes hands. she hers here moms voice. "Kate is it really you?"
"Yes mom it's really me."
"What have you been doing lately?"
"Um getting pregnant."
"WHAT!" And the phone drops.
"Mom?" She hopes her mom hasn't fainted. But as she listens she can still hear voices in the back ground and her mother telling them that her daughter is pregnant. Then she hears her mom come on the line again.
"Who's the lucky man and has he asked you to marry him yet?"
"MOM!"
"Kate you are having his baby. You need to get married. So when is the wedding?"
"Mom."
"Do you need some help Kate? Because if you do I'm sure your cousins wouldn't mine lending a hand if you know what I mean?"
"I will call if I need any help mom, Bye."
Her protegé walks towards her office. He knocks on Magnus office door. Comes in even before she tells him to.
"Magnus I need to ask you a question." William walks forward and sit in a chair.
"What do you need William?" Magnus ask.
"It hast to do with Kate and the child she is caring. Is it truly mine?"
"As far as I can tell it is."
"Should I marry Kate just to give the child my last name?"
"That's up to you William. You and Kate are the ones who will suffer if something goes wrong and the rest of us included."
"But?"
"I cannot tell you no don't get married. Because I will not have to suffer though the arguments and Silent treatments you give each other.
"But can't you tell me to go ahead and do it or not?"
"No."
"But?"
"This meeting is over now leave."
"But?"
She stopped him with a look. Then motion at the door. Will got up and left. And she went back to work.
Will walk to his office and enter it only to find Kate sitting on the couch staring out the window.
"What are you doing here Kate?"
"I called my mother earlier. When I told her I was pregnant. She was over joyed. She asked if I married yet, if not when was the wedding. She asked if I need any help and if I did she could ask a few of my cousins to come help out."
"Just what I did not need more headaches."
"Ha. If I understand what they mean to do is have a shotgun wedding. With me as the bride and you as the groom."
"But I thought that only happened with country folk?"
"My mother is from India arranged marriages are the norm."
"Oh lord what next."
