POSITIVE

Katrina pads over to the door of the apartment, it's been a few months now since Steve had left her to go be with Sharon. She'd begged him to stay the morning after he had stayed with her, she couldn't handle being alone without him for the next few weeks but when she found out she was pregnant- her whole world flipped and she was whole again.

"Oh my God..." Katrina holds the small stick tightly in her hand, her nails digging into her palm, drawing blood. She's more than happy, she's overjoyed about the news she holds. Her smile only grows each time that she looks at the pregnancy test that shows a positive symbol. "I'm going to be a mother..."

She knows that she has to call and tell Steve, give him the news but there's always the chance that Sharon could answer and then she'd be in some deep trouble while Steve got his ear chewed. Her heart pounds as she thinks about how she could tell him, though she wonders what would happen if she doesn't. If she just decides to not tell him about how he could be a father again- to maybe another daughter.

Another knock on Katrina's door brings her from her thoughts and she jumps back to attention. "Who is it?"

"It's... It's me, Kat." Steve says, his voice is almost a whisper despite how loud he usually is when he's around her. He's loud because of his comfort in being with her but now he's just here to just ask her a question. Some random question that just came to the top of his head, something that would just give him an excuse to need to see her.

"Oh!" Katrina's confusion is cleared up when she hears the familiar and calming voice of Steve on the other side. The child inside her almost seems to kick just as Katrina opens the door to see him.

Steve smiles when he sees her and he nearly steps through the door and pulls her into his arms until he sees the swell of her stomach. "Kat..."

"Hey, Steven!" She giggles when his eyes wonder down to her stomach and she takes his hand, "Come in, please!"

"Kat, is that..."

"Yes! She's all yours. Well... She's mine too but you know! So, what brings you back here, huh?"

"I uh... um... I..." He can't seem to think of the question now as his eyes are still trained on her belly filled with his child. "S-she?"

"Yeah! I found out what the gender was just yesterday and I was thinking about calling you but I didn't think that you would want me to call... Especially if you were with Sharon and all..." She smiles at him and then takes the hand of his that she hadn't let go of yet and sets it flat on her round belly. Steve smiles and gently presses on her when a sudden kick comes from the inside. Katrina giggles and he looks up into her eyes finally.

"I..." He can't tell her that he's not with Sharon anymore. It's been a few months and he remembers what he'd done to Katrina the morning he left her.
