It was 3:18 am when a strange feeling took over her stomach. It began to circle around and triggered a reaction that traveled upward. Daphne's eyes shot open from the deep sleep she had been in and she sat up. She looked around for a moment before the feeling jerked backwards in her stomach and caused another unpleasant feeling to shot up and look forward with her head bobbing. The feeling then exploded in her stomach. Causing her to run as quickly as she could for the bathroom.

The next thing she knew, she was holding her hair back while she was throwing up. When she was done, she sat with her back against the tub, arms wrapped around her stomach and cried a little bit. She was all alone in the apartment above the Cracked Mug. She flushed the toilet and then brushed her teeth and stared at her flushed face in the mirror. This had come unexpectedly. However, she was too tired and it was too early for her to try and figure out what happened. She went back to bed to get a few more hours of sleep. She kept reminding herself it as because she had somewhere important to be early in the morning.

Her alarm went off at eight o'clock. She slowly got up and started getting dressed. Just after getting her favorite tank top on, she stiffened up and ran to the toilet again. After she cleaned herself up again, she left in her car. During the drive, she was trying to figure out what could be going on. She kept pushing away the recurring thought in her mind. She didn't believe that that could possibly be what it was.

When she pulled up at John and Kathryn's, Toby and Carlton greeted her when she got out of the car. Carlton was now three years old. Daphne couldn't believe that three years had passed so quickly. She followed Toby inside and her parents house. No surprise at all, it looked the same as always. Nothing had changed.

No sooner than Daphne had set down her things, John walked into the room.

"Hey!" he happily shouted and hugged her. "Feels like I never see you anymore. Too busy with your books and party's to come see us anymore?" he joked.

Daphne chuckled, "Not so much the party stuff. Just a lot of studying to do to get into medicine dad."

They both laughed and hugged again. Kathryn walked and immediately hugged her daughter. She pulled back and looked at Daphne concerned.

"Are you alright Daphne? You look a little under the weather."

"Yea. I didn't feel well this morning but I'm better now. I promise mom."

"Well that's good. We're still waiting for your mom and Will to get here," Kathryn told her and then sighed. "It's so good to see you again. Two months is too long Daphne. Have a seat in the front room. There's someone I want you to meet."

Daphne looked confused as Kathryn rushed away. She went to the den and sat down. Kathryn returned to the room with a smile. Daphne returned her smile and looked for whoever it was her mom wanted her to meet.

"Daphne, meet Short Stop," Kathryn said with a smile.

Daphne looked over as a Miniature Schnauzer rushed into the room, jumped up onto the couch and sat next to her. He stepped onto her lap and sniffed around until he got to her stomach. He spent the majority of his time sniffing her stomach and pelvic area. Daphne moved him out of her lap and folded her arms in front of her stomach. Short Stop then laid next to her. Not leaving her side while she remained on the couch.

Daphne started to get lost in her thoughts while petting him. The conversations around her being ignored. She was brought out of her thoughts when Kathryn got excited and headed to the door. Short Stop jumped off the couch and followed her. Daphne stood up to see a blue S.U.V. pull up in the driveway, followed by a red van. Regina got out of the van and spoke to whoever was in the back window of the S.U.V.

Regina came inside and greeted everyone. She greeted Daphne with a quick hug and continued making her rounds. Regina still made it a point to see everyone at least once a week. Especially Daphne. Toby asked what was up outside. Regina remembered she needed to address that.

"Their changing the babies clothes and will be inside in a second," Regina told them.

Next thing they knew, Travis came around the front of the S.U.V., followed by Bay who was carrying a baby girl on her hip. When they came in, they were warmly and happily greeted by everyone including Daphne. As soon as Bay got free of everyone else she hugged Daphne long and tight with her free arm. Daphne hugged her back and kept the silent embrace. Daphne looked at Bay's daughter and smiled.

"Who are you?" she happily asked without signing.

Suddenly the little girl signed, S-A-R-A.

Daphne's jaw dropped. "All these years I've been hearing about her and you didn't tell me she only signs. It's amazing she can sign so well."

Travis shook his head and replied, "She's only deaf in her right ear. As of lately, she prefers to sign."

"I thought Bay told me she can talk?" Daphne said airily.

"Like Travis just said, she knows words. She chats up everyone. She tends to get in moods where it's one or another. She's so brilliant for a two year old," Bay replied.

"I always meant to ask, did something happen to make her deaf on one side?" Daphne asked.

"She was born like that," Travis answered.

Bay smiled and got her daughters attention as she pointed to Daphne. "Sara, do you know know who that is?"

Sara smiled and signed Daphne's name. Daphne just stared at Sara in awe. Sara smiled at her and giggled. Daphne suppressed a dry heave and sat down at the counter and took a sip of her ginger ale. Bay took notice right away. She got Daphne's attention and looked concerned. "Can we go talk outside?"

She had Travis take Sara and she drug Daphne outside. They went to Bay's old art studio that was now a learning area for Carlton. Daphne looked at Bay confused and nervous.

"You seem different. Like you've lost a stride in your step. I've never had to come to you when I get back. You also look pale and flushed. What's up?" Bay asked her.

Daphne blinked a few times and her nose scrunched. "I'm fine Bay. You're talking crazy. I think the time zone switch is making you act weird."

"No Daphne, something is different with you since the last time I saw you. And I think I know what it is," Bay told her.

"I'm fine Bay," Daphne quickly shouted to interrupt her. "Why does there always have to be something wrong whenever we haven't seen each other for a while? I'm fine. There's nothing. I just didn't feel well this morning and I am trying not to get sick while I'm here. I wanted to see you and the family. Okay?" Daphne asked and turned to walk away.

Bay ran up in front of her and glared. Daphne stopped and let out a sigh. She looked at Bay and waited for her to speak. Bay let out a sigh of her own. She then looked er sister firm in the eye.

"Daphne, something in particular caught my eye inside. You looked ready to throw up and you're drinking Ginger Ale. You hate Ginger Ale Daphne," Bay was explaining when Daphne ct her off again.

"So what Bay. Could you please just get to it. I really want to spend more time with family and play with my niece."

Bay took a deep breath, "Right. To the point."

"Please Bay."

Bay exhaled, "Daphne, with everything I noticed today, I'm going to say it. I think... you're pregnant."

Daphne's eyes widened. The thought she kept denying returned. Now with Bay noticing, she could no longer ignore the symptoms. Now that it clicked, she could no longer deny it. Daphne looked down and fought back her sobs. Bay hugged her and assured her it was going to be okay.
