Ava ran out from the medbay. As soon as she arrived at the bridge, she screamed that the team had to go immediately to her on the bridge.
They all ran there, worried for the Captain.
"What happened?"
"Is Sara okay?"
"Is it really bad?"
The Legend's voices were so many at once, that Ava didn't understand anymore what was happening around her.
She shook her head. "Sara is fine. But I need to know something.", said the girl.
"Yes, everything you need.", answered Ray, happy to be helpful.
"Do you know if Sara had sex with a guy?"
Everyone answered with a "no", except for John, who remained quiet.
Ava looked at him, getting closer. "John, is there something that I need to know?", the girl's look went threatening.
"Maybe? But surely not here, love.", answered the warlock, holding up the look.
"Okay, maybe we should go.", said Charlie, taking the arm of Nate, dragging him away. Everyone else followed the example and went away.
"Okay, spill the tea, warlock.", said Ava, crossing the arms on her chest.
"Do you remember the Asylum, 1969?", John began to explain, Ava made a signal to make him go further. "Well, we weren't exactly playing cards...", with those words, Ava took a deep breath, she was jealous.
"Are you saying, you screwed my girlfriend?"
"Actually, you weren't together anymore...", the warlock tried to explain.
"Actually, you have to stay away with your infernal hands from Sara!", replied Ava.
"Well, love, it's done now. But... Is she pregnant?"
"Don't call me love!", answered angrily the blonde. "And this is not your business, Constantine!", she ended the argue, and went to the medbay, to calm herself.
"How is she?", aksed Ava looking first Sara, then the monitor with the parameters of the girl.
"Good. She's going to waking up at any moment. And I'm sure. In her belly, she has a baby. Do you want to say it to her, Director?"
Ava shook her head. "No, you're the doctor here, Gideon. I will stay here and support her. Even if then I will find a way to banish Constantine.", Ava murmured the last sentence.
"Fine, Director Sharpe. As you wish."

As predicted by the A.I., Sara woke up soon , and as soon as Ava noticed Sara's blue eyes open, she came closer to her, and took her hand. "Sara! How are you?"
The Captain groaned from pain, but as usual, she denied it. "I'm fine. Why am I here? The wound wasn't that bad."
"It wasn't that bad?!", Ava had wanted to strangle her girlfriend, when she did that. "Sara, you passed out in front of the whole Time Bureau!"
"No, I didn't..."
"Yes, you did. You really understimate your wounds too much! Youalways put yourself in danger, and I don't want to lose you, Sara!", that what started with anger, ended up to be an almost whispered declaration.
Sara held stronger Ava's hand. "You'll never lose me, I will always find a way to come back to you. Always.", the girl marked the last word, to make Ava understand, that after all, she was going to be there for her.
"Captain, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I have to communicate you something.", Gideon's voice could be heard clear, the tone was urgent.
"Tell me, Gideon.", Sara's eyes darkened while she looked at Ava.
"I've found changes in your body, Captain."
"Changes?", Sara raised an eyebrow.
"Yes. Simply said, you're pregnant."
"W-What?! How is this possible?!"
"Do I really have to explain that to you?", answered Gideon with a joking tone. Sara rolled her eyes.
Ava has remained in silence, but she had never left her girlfirend's hand.
Sara's blue eyes went searching Ava's. "Honey...", the Captain whispered. The eyes were filled with tears, but she was not going to cry. She was stronger than that.
Ava shook her head, understanding what was going on in Sara's mind. "Sara, you didn't cheat on me. I'm jealous? Yes, of course I am. But we were not together. Now it's up to you. You can choose if you want to keep the baby or not. Actually I would love to see a little boy, or girl, who runs through the ship, or why not, in a house. In our home. But you have to know that I love you, and my priority is that you are okay.", Ava's free hand went to stroke gently Sara's cheek.
"I-I... I don't know if I'm ready now."
"Captain, you have almost a month for taking a decision. Every decision you'll take, I will be here to guide and help you, and I'm sure this will be the same for Director Sharpe.", Gideon clarified. 
"Absolutely, I am not going anywhere, Sara.", immediately answered Ava. "You know I don't have real childohood memories, if not for the ones you gave me that time on the camp. I would like to live a childhood, even if inderectly. And with you, everything will be more magical."
Sara nodded and kissed softly Ava, then she realized what Gideon said. "Wait, are you gynecologist?!", asked Sara, raising an eyebrow, looking up to the computer.
Gideon made a noise similar to a laugh. "Captain, I am an Artificial Intelligence from the future, I was programmed to do everything. So yes, I can do the scan for the baby, and if you want to abort, I can do that operation too."
"Oh, wow. Okay. Now can I stand up? I'm tired to be here."
"Absolutely not!", Ava and Gideon simultaneously said.
Sara snorted. "How long do I have to stay here?"
"At least until tomorrow morning, Captain. You lost a lot of blood, and I need to monitor your parameters."
"Babe, I'm here. I will stay the whole night here, with you. Is that a solution?"
Sara nodded. "Fine. But now kiss me."
The Director smiled, and then kissed her. Kiss that was immediately returned by the Captain, with love, passion, and most of all, sweetness.
