It had been almost six weeks, six weeks since the impossible had happened. ... Of course it had actually taken those six weeks since for Todd and Morgan to finally talk about it, but if you knew Todd and Morgan at all then you shouldn't be at all surprised. Communication and functionality had never been their strong suits, but after their reconciliation in Rohan, things felt different. It felt like things were finally falling into place, after months and months of everything going wrong.
On May 19th Todd and Morgan had a heated argument that led to an even more heated night spent together in Rohan. On June 20th, after weeks of coming to terms with the newest path they'd taken, Todd proposed. Again. And Morgan had said yes. Also again. Only this time she knew she was playing for keeps. There was no shadows of doubt anymore, no uncertainties, only steadfast conviction. She loved him. She wanted them to be a family again, a real family. She'd lost him once before and she was never going to risk that again for anything.
Morgan Kennedy walked into her doctor's office on Friday afternoon, July 1st, with a new spring in her step despite the heartburn and nausea she'd been feeling all week. She'd made the appointment because she'd been afraid she'd caught whatever viral thing had been floating around the reincarnate community and she was terrified her death certificate had just been signed and stamped. Any other possibilities hadn't even begun to enter her mind when she sat down in the air conditioned office and waited for her name to be called.
"What the hell took you so long? I'm freezing in this damn thing. Just so you know, the nightgowns I own have more material then this and that's really saying something. Since when does it take a year to process a damn blood test?"
Morgan sat perched on the table, arms crossed and shivering unceremoniously in her patients nightgown and looking all but murderous as her doctor finally walked back in forty-five minutes later with a clipboard. What had taken him so long?
The look her doctor gave her immediately stopped her in her tracks though, a look that was something between anxiousness and apprehension, and Morgan's heart all but stopped. This was it. She'd caught the sickness, hadn't she? She was going to die. She was going to die and leave Emma without a mother and Todd would eventually find someone else to marry, someone who actually deserved him and she'd never -
"I have good news, Ms. Kennedy," her doctor finally and mercifully interrupted her inner tirade of crazy. "You're not sick, but you are very pregnant."
Morgan gaped at him, completely without words for the longest minute of her life before she finally uttered the only thing that came to mind.
"... Shut the fuck up."
