"You're what," Sparcticus said in his monotonous tone. His eyes were widened, and his fingers twitched. Could this really be happening?

"Sparticus," Sahari said, her voice a bit tight, "I'm pregnant. WHAT PART OF THAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?"

"Are you sure?" He asked, his ear feeling like it was going to bleed from her screaming. Sahari was quiet on the other line for a minute.

"Well, I haven't asked you to get me any tampons, have I?" She said in a snappy tone. Sparcticus made a face at the "T" word.

"... No."

"And I just talked to Patch about it! Do you really think I would make this up?" His desert girlfriend freaked over the system. Sparcticus ran his fingers through his hair, taking a deep breath.

"Sahari, I will be at the clinic in a minute,"

"You better hurry!" Sahari said, hanging up her alert system.


"Oh come on! I'm trying to plant here!" Seiko growled as yet another Lemmoning ran over the seed hole, just as she was about to plant the Orchid seed. She sighed, waiting a few seconds before finally placing the seed carefully in the ground. She had just brushed the soil on top of it just before she heard the crying. She turned her head, seeing Eddie walking over to her frantically, trying to get Edwin's hand out of his hair.

"Eddie? I wasn't expecting to see you until tonight-"

"Do you know how to make him stop?" Eddie asked frantically, gesturing to Edwin. Seiko looked back and forth between her boyfriend and his crying baby brother. She smiled.

"Here, let me see him," she said, prying Edwin off of Eddie. The baby's sobs turned to whimpers seeing the different face. Seiko started to make little cooing sounds, examining the little guy.

"I'm not sure what's wrong with him. Did anyone scream or anything?"

"Well, no, he just-" He stopped himself when Seiko handed him back. She smiled weakly.

"I'm sorry, but you need to check his diaper. I can't be the only one who smells something," She said, grabbing her shovel and walking over to somewhere else in the garden. Eddie opened his mouth to say something when the smell finally met his nose. He gagged, feeling something sick in his stomach. He looked next to him, seeing Sprinkling watering the newly planted flower.

"Here, change him for me," Eddie said, handing Edwin off before walking away to puke quickly. He was about to throw up on a bush when his eyes widened at realization of what he just did to his little brother.

"On second thought I'll suck it up," He said, taking Edwin back as he walked back by Sprinkling. Sprinkling only stood there, her lips puckered out for some odd reason. It didn't take long to figure out until she blew a raspberry, then giggling afterwards at the sound it made.


Sparcticus ran like he never had before. He had to hurry. He dashed through the village, knocking over Bart and some little girl, and he didn't have enough time to say sorry. He had to get to the clinic, he just had too. He would apologize later.

The clinic doors swung open, with Sparcticus racing in. He halted to a stop, seeing that Sahari, Maxime, and Patch were all standing in the lobby. Sparcticus held up a finger, telling them to hang on one second so he could catch his breath. After he finally caught his breath, he gave a deep sigh, and looked at Sahari.

"It's true then?" Sparcticus finally said. The three looked at the Eskimo.

"W-Well, after s-s-some t-tests, I-"

"Sparcticus, would I seriously lie about this?" Sahari asked, her hands on her hips. Maxime scratched the back of her head, feeling a bit awkward.

"Um, do you want us to leave so you two can talk?" She asked. Sahari shook her head.

"No it's not a problem,"

"Oh my God..." Sparcticus whispered, his eyes wide. He had no idea what to say. My God, they weren't even married yet! How would this be okay?

"Sparcticus?" Sahari said, looking up at him. Sparcticus looked down at her.

"I'm sorry... I just don't know what to say... I didn't expect it to happen already," He said. Sahari looked at him a bit sadly.

"You're not going to be one of those douche bags who leaves as soon as the girl is pregnant, are you?" She asked. Sparcticus looked at her surprised.

"I would never do that!" Sahari's face brightened.

"So you're going to help?"

"Of course I am. I would never leave you to deal with this your-"

"GREAT! I was so afraid that you would say no, but you're saying yes! I didn't want to go through this alone- Oh my God, what are we going to tell everyone else?"

"... That you're pregnant," Sparcticus said, as if it was the most simple thing in the world.
