| Rene could only stare at the papers in front of him, as he sat at his desk.
"Is... this is real..." he stammered. He didn't think it could be real, but he double -and- triple-checked the tests and the results. There was no question about it.
The results he had in front of him belonged to Rowena Remmington, formerly Rowena Fyrane. She was currently married to Vincent Remmnington, and had come to him regarding feeling off.
She was complaining about being tired, drained of energy, listless, feeling sluggish, and hungrier than usual... despite having bouts of sickness.
To him, it sounded an awful lot like a bad cold or flu, or possibly even some sort of mono strain. He had her in a week ago, and had the tests done. Normally, she would have been notified several days ago, but he had to make sure the tests were accurate. And it seemed they were... regardless of how far-fetched it seemed.
"I seriously cannot believe this..." he said to himself quietly, as he continued to look over the papers.
"I'd say there has to be an error... but there can't be. The machinery was working perfectly, I made no errors, nor did any of the other doctors, nurses, or technicians... this has to be the result." he continued, before putting the papers back in the file, and looking out the window behind him.
He had called Rowena to let her know that her results were in, and she was to come in and see them as soon as she could. She told him she would be in at 2:30 that afternoon, and the clock on the wall showed it was 2:26, currently.
"Looks like there's not much time left to see what her reaction will be." he commented, as he ran a hand through his greenish-blue hair.
"I just wonder how she'll take the news..." he mused, as he took a bottle of water from a mini-fridge he had in his office, opened it, and started to drink it down.

| He was only about half way through the bottle before there was a knock on the office door. Instantly, he could identify it as Rowena's knock, since she always had an identifiable one. She always did three, a small pause, before doing another two. Always.
When he opened the door to let her in, she just smiled lightly before entering and closing the door behind her.
"Hey Rene, what's the verdict?" She asked, not beating around the bush about it.

| He sighed a bit, as she asked him the question.
"Well... I must say... even -I- didn't expect this result." he admitted, as he sat back down at his desk.
"But... I double-checked, and even triple-checked the tests, and they are 100% accurate." he assured her.
"I'm guessing that these bouts of sickness are occurring less and less in the afternoon and evening... and are more or less happening exclusively in the morning?" he then asked.

|
| She just looked at him quizzically, her emerald eyes showing how puzzled she was at his question.
"Should I be worried that it's something you didn't expect?" she asked before sighing slightly.
"And yes and no. They are mostly in the morning, when I get up, but not consisitently only then."

|
| He sighed again.
"Well... as I said, I double and triple-checked the test results myself." he told her.
"And... well... it seems that congratulations are in order." he then said.
"Rowena... you're pregnant." he then said, plainly and bluntly.

| Her breath caught in her throat a bit when he told her that. She honestly hadn't expected that, and didn't know what to think, either.
"I...I... what?" She asked, unable to actually wrap her mind around what he said.
"... Oh geez.... that was ... completely unexpected...." She added quietly.

|
| "It's why I double and triple-checked." he told her.
"But, after 3 tests, and all of them saying the exact same thing, I believe it's safe to say that it's the truth." he continued.
"So... I assume congratulations are in order... unless this is an... unwanted pregnancy...?" he then asked, raising an eyebrow some.

| Rowena just shook her head.
"Oh no no. MOre just unexpected as all hell." She told him honestly.
"I need to head back and let Vincent know." she said "Is there anything else?"

|
| He shook his head.
"We'll just need to schedule more regular checkups now." he told her.
"And I'll refer you to a specialist within the hospital, for other things, like ultrasounds and the like." he continued.
"Beyond that, just remember to eat to keep your strengths up." he added with a smile.

| "Alright then, just call me whenever you need me." Rowena told him with a small nod.
"I'll see you later then, I need to go tell Vincent and my boys."

| "You go do that, then." he replied.
"Let me know their reactions." he added with a snicker.

| "I will." She told him with a smile before vanishing in a burst of flames, only to appear in the backyard at home, at Vincents.
"Vincent! Where are ya!?" She asked

| What she didn't notice, was Vincent in a lawn chair, about a meter or so behind her.
"Right here." he said calmly.
"No need to shout." he added with a chuckle.

| She jumped about a foot in the air as she whirled around.
"Holy shit." She said quietly.
"Anyway, found out what the problem is." She told him.

| Vincent held back a laugh, as Rowena jumped from being startled.
He then cleared his throat, and acquired a serious look on his face.
"Oh? What might that be?" he asked, standing up and making his way over to her.
