A/N: Happy Valentines Day Guys! Im also going to do a one-shot for valentines day, :D
Welp, enjoy this, even though its short. But its mainly dialogue. Yay.
Taz lay on her back on Saki's sofa. Saki had demanded a "girlie night in" before Taz was deployed back to earth, however they had ended up watching gruesome horror movies. Taz and Saki both fell asleep at the same time on the sofa, and Saki began to kick Taz at 3 am, and Taz rolled her off the sofa.
"I'm to tired for words." Saki mumbled as she crawled out of the room towards her bedroom.
"Saki?"
"Yeah?"
"Jour butt's in de air." Taz snorted as she fell back asleep.
Two hours later, Taz felt like her stomach was burning. I'm gonna be sick. Taz thought and made her way to Saki's toilet just in time.
"Taz?" Saki called as she heard the retching from the bathroom.
"Yeah?"
"You okay?"
"Yeah." Taz grunted back.
"Then why are you violently puking?"
"Must be food poisoning or something."
"Well, I'll have to check anyway. If your going back to earth in four days, you have to be healthy." Saki left to get a scanner from the infirmary. Taz sat on the floor counting on her fingers. She had missed last month. Well, she had missed a month before. But she was 12 then.
Taz left the room and sat on the sofa, and Saki returned a few minuets later.
"I need to ask few questions first."
"Ask away;"
"Well, I know about what you ate since you were with me when you ate it..." Saki tapped information into her scanner. "So, here comes the awkward bit. When was your last period?"
"Very Subtle." Taz snorted. "I missed last month." She shrugged. "Its happened before." She said as Saki's jaw dropped.
"What happened on Mars?"
"What do jou mean?"
"I mean... did you...?"
"Well, scan me and see." Taz was fighting back tears now. There was no way that could have happened. Saki nodded.
"Your... pregnant."
"Don't tell anyone! Me and Up will be fired! And I'm going back to earth soon... I'll take leave after that!" Taz began to babble.
"I wouldn't suggest anything else. Just keep your mouth zipped. And that includes Up." Saki sighed.
"I can't tell him anyway... any relationship between a Commander and Lieutenant is forbidden. He'd gt fired. I would rather keep my child on the ship and return to duties when its in schooling, than have to leave to some stoopid planet because we got fired." Taz sighed.
Saki nodded.
"Your down on earth for four months... by then you'll be showing it. So they wont let you on any pod after that."
"I know... But hey, we'll be fine..." Taz choked as she patted her stomach. There was a baby there... her's and Up's baby.
Damn this baby will be an amazing ranger.
Those four days passed quickly, and Taz had dubbed the baby Gabrielle.
"It feels like a girl." Taz shrugged to Saki. When Taz had her physical before she went down, she made sure to be scanned by Saki.
"You know, he would make an amazing father." Saki whispered to Taz as they hugged. Up as stood talking with the other commanders sharing their pod. Taz would be leaving for earth any minuet.
"Hey hey hey, your squishing Gabrielle." Taz wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. Then there was the call to board the pod.
"See you in four months." Saki sighed and faded into the crowd as Taz dragged her feet towards the pod. As she was sat next to Up, she knew he couldn't know. Gabrielle would know, but Up wouldn't. Well, it was for their own good.
