Family

Bret is a little confused at first at Charlotte's tone, then a little worried, about some big change, then tests. Within the few moments that it takes her to tell him the news, he's already prepared himself for the worst. But as the actual truth comes out, he stares up at her, his eyes slowly widening. "You... we... really?"

Staring at her face he blinks before a smile slowly starts to spread on his face. "That... that's... I mean..." He blinks again. "We're gonna be a family... I'm gonna be a daddy..."

A laugh escapes as a new kind of light sparks in his eye. He zeros in on the worry in his wife's tone though, and manages to pull her back down close to him again. "You are.... amazing." Giving her another kiss, he rests his forehead against hers, still smiling. "How do you feel? I mean... you're okay with this? Like... holy cow."


Scott ends his end of the call and sighs deeply. Something just wasn't right. Katie had just admitted she wasn't okay, but had then shut him off. He didn't like it. But there wasn't a whole lot he could do about it. Was it just the Agency she was struggling with? Was there more? Why had she called him specifically?

"Everything okay?"

Scott looks into the kitchen and shrugs. "I don't know... not really... but what am I supposed to do?"

"Katie alright?" Gunner wanders in, finished eating.

"I don't think so... but I'm not sure there's anything anybody can do."
