TUp One Shots

Oh Shit

Up sat at breakfast wondering where Taz was. She never missed breakfast. She had missed their morning run as well. Something was wrong.

He stared at his food, half listening to the conversation going on around him. 'Should I go look for her?' He wondered.

"Up?" Bug asked quietly, nudgning his side.

"Hmm?" Up replied, being pulled back into the real world.

"You seem a little off today." Bug pointed out, "and where's Taz?"

"Uh, I'm fine, Bug. And Taz- I don't know. I think I'll go past her room after breakfast."

"Doesn't she stay in your room-" Bug started, before feeling Up's hand over his mouth. (Well, pincers) Up dropped his voice even lower,

"Well usually... not that anyone is meant to know. But the past week she hasn't." He slowly let Bug go.

"Oh- sorry Sir."

"It's okay Bug, just- don't go spreading it around."

"I won't, Sir."

Up didn't sit there much longer. He got up and placed his tray near the bins then set off for Taz's room.

~ooo0ooo~

He walked up the hallway until he found her room. He knocked quietly then let himself in. He walked in to find Taz sitting on the floor leaning against her bed. Her head was in her hands and her elbows were rested on her knees that were at her chest. He approched with caution.

"Taz...?" He asked. She looked at him, she had red puffy eyes. She'd been crying. "Taz-" He sat beside her and scooped her into his arms and just held her tight. "What happened?"

Up ran in his head all the reasons she would be crying. It wasn't her Birthday, no one on the team was dead. And that was about all the reasons she would cry. He was stumpped.

"We've fucked up, Up." She mumbled. 'We've'? Up thought.

"Taz, look at me, please. What's happened?" He pleaded. Taz pulled away from his hug slightly and looked him dead in the eyes.

"I'm pregnant." She told him.

Up froze. They had fucked up indeed.

"Are you sure..?" He asked cautiously.

"Of course I fucking am."

"How long have you known?"

"About a week.."

He hugged her tight again. "A week? You should of told me."

"I didn't know how." She hugged him back.

"So, what do you wanna do?" He asked. She didn't move for a bit or say a word. "Whatever you choose to do, I'll support you."

"I don't want this baby to ruin everything I have worked so hard for... but... when I found out I was pregnant, I was a little excited."

Up smiled at her. He touched her face gently. "You wouldn't let it ruin you. It would just add to your badassness." She laughed a bit, "Just imagine, 'Lieutenant Taz Lopez, toughest son of a bitch ranger ever and mother to the cutest kid in the world.' "

"It would be nice to have a family..." she looked at him. "Only if you're okay with it."

"Taz," he interrupted her, "it's your body. Your choice. As I said, I'll be here no matter what." He reasured her. Up stood and pulled Taz to her feet. He kept a hold of her hands. "And you don't have to decide right away. There's no pressure."

She nodded and hugged him tight. "I love you."

He hugged her back. "I love you too."

AN: We're just gonna ignore the fact that Up has no balls, okay? Okay.

If you have any ideas you wanna see be turned into a mediocre one shot, let me know in the comments. :)
