Until the World Stops Turning (A Baby Quintis FanFic)

Chapter 7: Time Discovers Truth

We walk into the bar, but I can't drink. Not good.

          We walk back into the garage after one of our biggest cases. We just had to save the White House from being blown up! I walk up the stairs and sit down on the couch. I look down to my still very flat stomach. Toby and I decided to call the baby, Baby Curtis until we know the gender. I look back up and see Toby. He walks over to me and just hugs me. We lay on the couch together for a while before Walter comes up and sees us. "Hey guys, we are having a team meeting downstairs. Please come down." He says awkwardly and walks away.

"Okay, Walt. We will be there in a few." Toby responds and Walter leaves. I look at Toby worriedly. 

"Do you think they know about Baby Curtis?" I ask worried.

"No, Hap. How could they know? They probably just want to talk to us about today's case." He says assuringly and kisses the top of my head. I don't respond, I just lay there in his arms. "I think we should go downstairs, Hap. You know Walter, he doesn't like when people are late to things." Toby says. I just nod and slowly get up. The absence of his warmth leaves me with the chills, but I just ignore the coldness and follow Toby down the stairs. 

          When we get downstairs we see the team standing there with smiles on all of their faces, even Walter's. I'm guessing that since they are smiling, they don't know about Baby Curtis. The team turns around and looks at us. "Hey guys! We're heading over to the bar to celebrate! And Cabe's paying!" Paige says. Toby and I smile, but on the inside; I'M FREAKING OUT. I'M PREGNANT. I CAN'T DRINK. THEY'LL FIND OUT ABOUT BABY CURTIS. NOT GOOD.

"Ooh. I'm in if Cabe's paying!" Toby says, grinning. I just look at him and laugh. He is like a little child, I swear. 

"I'm in too." I say, acting like nothing is going on. 

"Yay!" Paige shouts. We all head towards our cars; I'm with Toby, Paige is with Walter, and Sly is with Cabe. Toby rolls down the window and yells, "Joe's, right?" Walter checks with Paige, and replies.

"Yeah!" Toby and Cabe nod and roll their windows back up. The ride to the bar is silent and when we arrive, I remain calm and follow the team. We go inside and Walter goes to find us seats. The rest of us order our drinks. 

"Two Cherry vodkas, please." Paige orders for her and Walter.

"Two Crown and Cokes, please." Toby orders for himself and Cabe.

"One water, please." I order. Everyone (except for Toby) looks at me weirdly, but I ignore them

"One Olive Martini, please." Sly orders while sanitizing his hand and his spot on the counter. The bartender nods and starts working on our drinks. The guys walk to their seats and let Paige and I grab the drinks.

"So...Why'd you order a water, Happy?" Paige asks suspiciously. Shit. Not good.

"Um...I'm not in the mood for drinking tonight." I say, trying my best to lie. I grab half of the drinks and Paige grabs the other half. 

"Sure..." she says unamused. I just hope that she won't find out about Baby Curtis yet. We walk back to the guys and ignore what just happened. 

         When everyone finishes their drinks, Toby orders another round for them. I decide to go to the bathroom while everyone is busy and not paying attention. I walk to the bathroom and once I get in, I see that no one is there. I look in the mirror and stare at my reflection. Before I know it, tears are pouring out of my eyes, but I don't know why. I stay there for a few minutes just watching myself in the mirror. These stupid hormones! The door opens, and with my luck, it's Paige. 

"Happy? Are you okay?" She says worried.

"I'm fine..." I say trying to hold back the tears. I wipe them away and cross my arms.

"Clearly, you're not. Happy, I've been putting the pieces together---not drinking, crying for no reason, and the fact that you've been more cautious while we are working on cases...Happy, are you...pregnant?" Paige asks impatiently. I look at her and I smile slyly.

"Yeah. I am." I say happily.

"Congratulations!!!" She says while embracing me in a hug. I awkwardly hug her back before she pulls away. 

"How am I going to tell the team though?" I ask nervously.

"Well, maybe you should tell them now. They will be happy, especially Walter." She says, bt sounds kind of unsure. 

"Okay, thanks Paige." I say.

"You're welcome. I think that we should head back now. They might think that something is going on." She says. I nod and we walk out of the bathroom. We get back to our seats and everyone is talking. I clear my throat, stand up, and prepare myself for the telling of the truth.

"Hey guys?" I say trying to get their attention.

"Yeah?" They all reply in unison. I take a deep breath and try to keep calm.

"I, uh...have something to say. Toby, can you come here?" I ask and Toby comes up to stand next  to me. He grabs my hand and kisses the top of my head. "I'm pregnant!" I exclaim. 

"CONGRATS!!" They all shout.

"Who's the father?" Toby asks. I look at him dumbfounded and slap him upside the head.

"Really, Doc?" I ask. Toby just smiles like an idiot.

"It's obviously Jesus, Toby." Walter says sarcastically. We all laugh histerically. "WAIT NO THAT CAME OUT WRONG. I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A JOKE. OH GOD!" Walter tries to explain, but we just start to laugh even more. 

"Keep working on your jokes, son." Cabe says trying to be serious, but terribly fails. We all continue to laugh before deciding to leave and head to our homes. Toby may be an idiotic genius, but he is my idiotic genius and I wouldn't want it any other way.
