Chad was resting by the window when he felt a slight tugging in his belly.
He put his hand on it and felt it again.
"Blimey... that was a kick. That was an actual kick" he whispered.
"What's happening, Chad?" said Jeremy.
"I felt a kick. I really do have a baby in here" said Chad with a smile.
"Well, blimey" said Jeremy.
Meg went home with a sad look.
"Well?" said Chad.
"Wedding receptions are backed up so we can't reschedule ours" said Meg.
"Oh, blimey. Isn't there another way?" said Chad.
"I'm afraid not." said Meg.
Then she let herself cry on Chad's shoulder.
"Please don't cry, my sweet Meg" said Chad.
He played with Meg's hair to calm her down.
"Chad, what are we gonna do? I can't let you get married with a baby bump" said Meg.
"Hey. I don't want to get married with a baby bump. But I'll have you know... while you were gone, I felt a little kick" said Chad.
"You did?" said Meg.
"Yeah" said Chad.
He took Meg's hand and placed it on his belly.
Then his unborn baby kicked Meg's hand.
"Oh my god, I felt it!" Meg squealed.
She hugged Chad real tight.
"But how are we gonna handle this now?" said Jeremy.
"I guess our only option now is to speed me pregnancy along" said Chad.
"Chad, I told you. You aren't ready for this" said Meg.
"I think I am now, Meg. We seem to have no choice" said Chad.
"Meg, you're a doctor. Can't you speed it along?" said Jeremy.
"I can't. I don't know how." said Meg.
"What do you mean you don't know how?" said Jeremy.
"I wasn't there for the last few. I never saw it happen" said Meg.
"Oh, dear. Then how will we ever speed my pregnancy along?" said Chad.
"Say, Meg... you don't suppose we could ask the Three Warriors how they did it, do you?" said Jeremy.
"Not a bad idea, Jeremy. I'll be right back" said Meg.
She went outside and sounded the Warrior Siren.
