"I know, I'm not really very good with warning you I'm about to show up am I? It was just...it was such a rush, I just picked up and got out of there, I didn't even stop to grab much stuff just legged it."
"After he beat you up?" I looked away. "Why did you let it happen?" his voice wasn't accusatory, just concerned.
"I didn't exactly let him Doc, it wasn't that simple. Anyway, I finally got out didn't I? i know it took too long but I've done it now. Something just snapped this time, it was too much and i did it, i left. You have no idea how hard it was to do that, especially with this baby and the prospect of telling you all that there was instead. Thank you for not making it too hard."
"No problem, but I think we should do the hard part now."
"What's that?"
"Telling everyone else."

I felt an odd grip inside me, and stepped away from the door. Faith frowned at me, wondering what i was doing, but a moment later the door opened and Charlie and Doc walked out past where i'd been standing.

"Guys," I began, I looked at Charlotte. "There's something Ch...we need to tell you. Charlotte's baby...it's mine."
You could hear a pin drop.

((I'm sorry but all I see is everyone in the room doing.  )) I stared at them both surprised. |

I moved over to Riogue quietly. "You okay?"

"Amy, can we go now?" I asked, barely audible. I could tell my voice was shaking, hell, I was shaking. I just wanted to get out of there. Immediately.

Doc had been right, this was the hard part but it had to be done, I had made the right decision to come here. Everyone was either staring at us or avoiding looking at us, Rogue looked like she had been slapped round teh face and Jessy...jessy looked like she was about to cry. Giles was looking at me with only a very slight look of disappointment, most of his features were busy being surprised like everyone else but I was more concerned about Jessy.
"Jessy" I called, walking towards her.

"What?" I asked, startled, assuming a just-too-bright voice. "I mean, congratulations. Go you. Imagine that. Doc. A daddy."

"Of two," I said as i joined them, Rogue under my arm. "Don't think I'm going to ignore you because of another child, Jess. I know you're dissappointed, but..."

"Dissappointed?" I asked accusingly. "You think I'm dissappointed? Doc," I pointedly used his name,"there is a difference of seven years between us. We could be brother and sister. The baby wll be twenty three years younger than you. It's not your fault, it isn't anyone's fault, but you are going to be more of a father to the baby than you have been to me." It was honest and it was true.

"Jessy, I may have been a father to a girl five years younger to me," I said flatly. "The difference in years doesn't matter to me. At all. You know how I feel. Do you think it's going to change?"

"No! It won't. But your time will. No more father daughter things. More Father baby things. Doc, you are gonna bond with this kid far more than we ever could. It's going to depend on you and Charlie, it's defenceless. I'm not."

"Jessy..." I began. "I know there's nothing I can say or do right now to convince you. I've know you long enough to realize you're more stubborn than I am, but," I added as she went to cut me off. "The only way you're not my daughter is blood. Besides, this kids going to need it's big sister to look after it. And you might get lucky."

"I'm old enough to be its mother!" Wow, that really showed how societies values had decreased. I shudered at the thought of being a mother that young. It felt creepy. Very creepy.
