"Don't go."
"Jane, I have to."
"One more time?"
Liam nods. He can't say no to Jane. One more time it is.
* * * * *
"Claire, get out of that would you?"
Its been more than a month since the cruise, and Jane is not fit to burn. She checks the calendar. No, that can't be right. She's late. Two whole weeks late. Dang. The only other time she's ever been late was when she was pregnant with Claire. Oh dear God no. She wasn't carrying the baby of some man she hardly knew, was she?
A quick trip down to pharmacy, and two pregnancy tests later, Jane discovers the truth. She is indeed carrying Liam's child. A baby. How was she going to handle another baby? She couldn't drop this on Liam. He had enough to deal with. Between the new record he was making with his band, and the press demands, not to mention being a single Father, and well, his life was busy enough.
She hears a knock on her apartment door, and heads out the hall to answer it."Grandpa, what a surprise." She goes to shove the tests in her pocket, and in doing so, one drops to the floor.Before she can pick it up, however, Serge's eyes notice it, and he bends to pick it up.
"You're pregnant?"
Jane bites her lip and nods. "I am."
"Who's the father?"
"You don't know him."
"Janie, you know, and I know you know."
Jane sighs."It's Liam's baby."
"Are you going to tell him?"
Jane hesitates."I don't know Grandpa. He's already got so much going on right now . . ."
Serge smiles and takes Jane's hand."You need tell him Janie."
Jane sighs."I know Grandpa, I know." She nods."I'd best give him a call." She digs out Liam's phone number, and then calls him.When she hears his voice on the phone, she nearly panics. But after a few minutes,she finally admits her news. "Liam, I'm pregnant."
"What?!"
