About a week later I went to the doctor and she confirmed that i was roughly around two months pregnant. Owen and the crew are severely protective over me and what I'm doing on call, which i have to admit is pretty irritating.

I was sitting in the kitchen next to Paul whilst Mateo was by the Espresso maker when Marjan walked in.

"Guys! I think we have a problem". Mateo called making us turn our attention to him.

"It's not working and now it's making this arghh sound". He said irritably.

"Ooh, dude tell me you did not just break Cap's espresso maker. He had that custom made in Italy. It's his prized possession". Marjan smiled humorously.

"Think i don't know that? Besides i didn't break it. Paul did". He said turning around to look at Paul with crossed arms and i gave my brother an amused look.

"Mm-mm, don't even try it Probie". Paul warned taking a sip of his coffee.

"That thing was working fine when i used it." Paul added.

"Then you probably pact the filter basket with extra fine grounds and ran it on a high temp, didn't you?" Mateo asked.

"I enjoy a robust cup, I'm not gonna apologize for that". Paul said taking a sip of coffee again.

"How many times do I have to tell you? It puts a strain on it". He sighed turning back to look at the machine and I looked at Marjan who was standing next to him, eating a bowl of oats.

"Probably overheated, threw off the water conditioning system". He mumbled.

"This is why I've been saying we should just buy a coffee pot." Judd commented making Mateo groan in irritation.

He whacked the side of the machine and I looked at him as Marjan crossed her arms with a small smile on her face.

She let out a small laugh when he continued to bang on it.

"Hey, yeah, there you go. Go ahead and whack it. That ought to fix it". Judd said sarcastically making Paul and I laugh.

Owen walked in making Mateo look at my girlfriend nervously.

"Oh, God, what am I gonna do?". He asked and I got up to stand next to him.

"You're gonna do the right thing-- fall on your sword and tell the truth". I told him, patting him on the shoulder.

"Hello". Owen greeted walking into the kitchen.

"Paul did it". Mateo blurted and i stifled a Laugh as I sat down on the chair and Marjan wrapped her arm around my neck.

"Objection!" Paul yelled making Owen stop walking and look at the two men confused.

"What?" Owen asked confused.

"See, I tried to make you one of those Cap's half-caf cap like you like, but Paul over packed the filter basket." Mateo explained.

"Again, wow". Paul said offended looking at the Probie.

"No, it's true. I always try to warn him that his grounds are too tight. Throws off the calibration and-- he broke your machine". Mateo said looking at the espresso maker. Paul looked over at us and raised three fingers making us do the same with a chuckle.

"So unplug it. Get it serviced". Owen said unfazed by the idea of someone breaking his machine and I looked at Judd confused.

"So you're not mad?" Mateo asked confused.

"At a coffee maker? Who cares?" He replied and i raised my eyebrows in shock.

"Did he really just say "Who cares?" I asked taken back.
