"I-I thought it was..." Brady said remembering having calculated it all up, she had really thought she was fine then.

Morph nodded, leaning forward and putting his elbows on his knees. He stared at the sonogram, trying to think. So he had trusted her on that information, then had acted on his desire for her, and that was how it turned out now. He wasn't going to run away from a girl he loved just because of that. But figuring out how he felt about it would be difficult because "mixed feelings" didn't really describe it.
To get his mind off his own messy thoughts, he turned to look at Brady. "Do you..." he asked hesitantly. "...want to have a baby?"

Brady nodded softly, "I don't believe in abortion and I wouldn't put my child up for adoption," She said softly another tear slipping down her cheek, she just wiped it away, "If you don't want to stick around...I-I understand."

"No, it's not that..." Kevin sighed, then straightened up, put the paper away and put his arm on her back, caressing her neck softly under her hair. "I do. I really do. I just... It's really unexpected and I'm... having mixed feelings about this."

Brady nodded slightly, looking at him, "Mixed feelings?"

Morph rubbed his nose, looking aside. He sighed again - probably now she deserved to know. No, she definitely deserved that.
"I had a girlfriend before you," he said, continuing to stroke her neck absently. "She was also a mutant. And she was killed when she was pregnant."

Brady took his other hand in hers, "I'm sorry..." She said softly, she didn't know what else she could say.

Morph nodded at her words. He paused a bit, studying the floor. "It's too recent," he said. "And it all feels like a mean case of déjà-vu. Like it's all history repeating... and when I saw you being hit by Connor... it just... happened all over again."

"I'm so sorry, Kevin..." Brady said, she was always apologizing for everything, she couldn't help it, not to mention her hormones just brought it on more. And she felt even worse having caused him to remember something so tragic and to basically go through it again.

"It's okay," Morph said, his voice a bit blank as he tried to detach himself from everything that had happened - including Connor. "I'll manage, I suppose. You need me there, so I'll be there."

Brady went to say something, but her stomach jerked and she brought a hand to her mouth. Yesterday she had called Charlie and she had said that morning sickness should start anytime. "Why now?" Brady muttered softly and then headed straight to the bathroom, dropping to her knees she emptied her stomach into the toilet.

Morph followed her with his eyes, then stood up with a sigh, trying to get used to the idea that his girlfriend was pregnant, and walked to the bar to get a glass. Coming into the bathroom, he filled it with water and, crouching down next to Brady, waited until she'd be all right again.

Brady's eyes were squeezed shut for a moment, until she was finished. She then flushed and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, sitting, she looked to Kevin seeing the glass of water, she hesitated a moment before taking it and took a small sip.

"Rinse your mouth," Morph suggested. Then, not knowing how else to help, he placed his hand on her back, trying to give her some encouragement with that gesture. The question whether she was okay seemed pointless; he didn't really know what else to say.

Brady brought the glass back to her lips, taking some more water into her mouth, she rinsed and then stood to spit it in the sink. After, Brady looked into the mirror for a moment before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.
