Two weeks later

Jane frowned softly, she'd noticed something off about Kate recently. The blonde who loved coffee often seemed to get nauseous and bolt at the first smell of it. Another thing was that she seemed to be snacking a lot, like a lot.

The section chief watched the FBI liaison closely as she entered the bullpen, noticing her brief glance towards Lucy before her attention turned to Kai. She stopped just before she reached his desk, catching the smell of his coffee which made her back away.

Jane frowned before leaving her office and following the blonde into the bathroom, hearing Kate losing whatever was in her system.

Kate was hunched over one of the toilets in the stall, groaning softly as she leaned back to catch her breath.

Jane leaned against the stall. "Are you okay?"

Forcing her eyes open, Kate cleared her throat. "No, I'm pregnant." She barely got out, tears filling her eyes.

Jane's eyes went wide. "Oh?" She bent down in front of Kate. "It's okay, we'll get you through this."

Shaking her head, Kate released a soft sob. "It's Kai's." She barely got out, just as she heard the bathroom door open again.

"Does he know?" Jane asked, there was no judgment in her voice.

"Does who know, what?" Lucy's voice filled the bathroom.

Kate instantly leaned forward and threw up in the toilet again.

Lucy seemed shocked. "She okay?"

The section chief looked from Kate to Lucy briefly, connecting the dots in her head.

Kate finally leaned back again, closing her eyes. She couldn't bring herself to look at Lucy.

"Oh my..." Lucy trailed off. She stood there for a moment before shaking her head. "Nope, none of my business." She moved towards a stall.

After a few minutes, Kate managed to stand up and flush the toilet, pulling a toothbrush, toothpaste, and mouthwash from her bag.

"Are you going to tell him?" Jane asked softly. "Do you even want a baby?"

Kate doesn't respond, brushing her teeth quickly before gargling mouthwash. Once she's done she puts everything away and turns to face Jane. "I don't know." She whispered, locking eyes with Lucy as she came out of the stall to wash her hands.

Lucy dropped her gaze and shook her head, washing her hands in the sink. Once she's done, she leaves the bathroom.

Swallowing thickly, Kate looked down. "There's some things you don't know." She whispered to Jane, jumping into the story of her relationship with Lucy that ended the night of Lucy's undercover mission. Once she's done with that, she tells Jane about how she went to a bar and got wasted, the conversation with Kai which led them back to her place, and everything up to this point. "I really messed up." She said softly, tears filling her eyes.

Jane shook her head. "You just let your emotions control you and that's okay, you're only human." Jane's voice was so soft and also very motherly.

Kate looked up at Jane and smiled sadly. "I fell in love with Lucy, hurt her, and then fell in love with Kai while still being in love with Lucy." She said, shaking her head. "Now I'm pregnant and I don't know what to do."

"The first thing you do is breathe, the second thing you do, is see your doctor and make sure everything is okay." Jane said calmly, reaching out to gently touch Kate's shoulder.

The blonde took a deep breath and looked Jane in the eyes. "I have to tell him, he deserves to know."

"Okay, you can do it in my office." Jane said softly. "It'll give you the privacy you need."
