When Love Lasts

Chapter 13

In the middle of the night, Chad couldn't sleep.

He was thinking about what the Misses had done to him.

He didn't even take off his glasses.

But then he sprung up as he felt slightly nauseated.

"Meg. Wake up" Chad whispered.

Meg woke up, put on her glasses and said "What's wrong?"

"My belly is aching. I think I might be sick" said Chad.

"Do you know why?" said Meg.

"No. But I think it might be something to do with what the Misses did to me" said Chad.

"What did they tell you?" said Meg.

"All they said was that this happened to a lot of men you know. And then Which blasted this strange magic at my belly and now I'm sick" said Chad.

Meg knew exactly what he was talking about.

"Do you know what it is? You would know" said Chad.

Meg took a deep breath before answering.

"You're not sick" she whispered.

"Then..." Chad began.

Meg started laughing and she hugged Chad.

"Meg, I don't know what you mean, sweet" said Chad.

"Chad, you're not sick." Meg said happily.

"Then why does my belly hurt? And how is it good?" said Chad.

"What did the Misses say about this thing that happened to a lot of men I know?" said Meg.

"They said it was, and I quote, a suspected reproduction" said Chad.

"And that's exactly what's going on with you" said Meg.

Chad thought about it for a minute. 

"If I'm not sick... am I..." he began. He was afraid to say the rest.

"Pregnant? Yeah, exactly" said Meg.

"Honestly, I... I feel pregnant" said Chad.

"And you are" said Meg.

"I'm pregnant." said Chad touching his belly.

Meg hugged him again and this time he hugged back.

"We aren't even married yet and we're having children" Chad cried joyfully.

"I know!" Meg squealed.

Chad let go and said "Wait. I'm pregnant. What is Jeremy going to say?" 

"He's not gonna believe it until there are visual clues" said Meg.

"But what if he does? And how will I be able to continue my career?" said Chad.

"I don't know. But I'm not gonna stop until I figure it out" said Meg.
