I stared at him and just blinked. Pregnant? That was impossible! Jake and Preston had vasectomies and the others always wore a condom. As far as I know none of them had broken. While I tried to let his words sink into my brain, he asked to examine me further. He lifted up my top to see my breasts, "Hmmm...your nipples and areolas are darker." Pulling my top back down he slid my pants and panties off. The stirrups were pulled out and my legs placed in them. Rubber gloves were stretched onto his hands. "Alright sweetie, I'm going to put a couple of fingers in you and press from the top with my other hand so that I can take a guess at how far along you are." I nodded that I understood and he squirted some lube on one hand before carefully sliding his fingers up in me. He pressed down with his other hand and felt around.

I watched a few different expressions flit around his face as he examined me. Pulling his fingers out and then disposing of his gloves, he looked amused. I waited for him to speak but he didn't until the stirrups were put away and my lower half was clothed again. Pulling up his stool again, he said, "Sweetie, as far as I can tell, you are about six weeks along. The best that I can figure out is that somebody's condom broke. It must have been a very tiny tear because they all checked after each time," he stroked my hair, "I know that you had wanted to wait a little while longer but here it is. Are you upset?"

I shook my head no, "Surprised yes, but not upset," my hand drifted down to lay on top of the area below my belly button. "This baby is wanted and just showed up a little early." I thought of something else, "Is having the flu going to hurt the baby?"

"No, I think that you are going to be alright, however I want to keep you here overnight to make sure that you don't get dehydrated and that we keep your fever down," Chase said smiling at me, "I'll get you a room and you get hooked up to an IV and let you get some rest."

I nodded and asked, "Are you going to tell the rest of them or should we wait until they can all be here?" Chase laughed, "You want to tell them? Ok then, you can do it when they are all here and you are checked into a room here. I'd like to do an ultrasound to get a more accurate estimation of how far along you are and it would be good to have all of us here to experience it together. I'll go get that started and for right now I'll tell Preston and Brady that you have a nasty case of the flu." He left to make the arrangements and I heard him speak to Brady and Preston about me having a severe case of the flu.

Preston walked in to stand next to me and hold my hand. "My poor dear. Is there anything that I can do to make you feel better?"

"No, I'm going to be ok though. Can you get Jake and Wyatt over here when I have my own room? I'd like to have all of you around me for a little while at least."

Lifting up my hand to kiss it, Preston said, "Anything for you."

Brady rubbed the top of my foot and tried to look encouraging. I saw the worry in his eyes though. I gave him a little smile and he returned it. It didn't take very long for Chase to secure me a room and Brady carried me there and laid me on the bed. They both helped me change into a hospital gown and get under the covers. A nurse came in to insert an IV needle and tube in my left hand. She thankfully wasn't Melinda or her friend. Instead it was an older woman with a great bedside manner and she was very efficient and worked well with Chase. As soon as the IV was set up and working, she left the room for a minute and then wheeled in a cart with a monitor and parked it in a corner of the room before leaving again. I knew what it was but said nothing to the guys.

Jake and Wyatt arrived about ten minutes later looking so worried. I gave them a reassuring smile and said, "I'll be fine, I promise." With all of them gathered around, Chase gave me a nod and smiled. I spoke up, "Well, Chase says that I have the flu but there is something else too." smiling big I continued, "It looks like one of you has some very strong swimmers so we will be having a baby sooner rather than later." There was shocked silence and stunned looks on their faces. Except for Chase of course.

They looked at each bewildered and the smile started to fade from my face. I started to panic inside my head, thinking that the other guys didn't want this right now with all the mess of the PI Gene Murdoch following me and the tracking device in my car. Blinking back tears, I stared at my hands that were currently plucking the blanket covering me. A tear rolled down my cheek and my lips trembled. "What the hell is wrong with all of you!" Chase snarled at them. "She was so happy and excited that she wanted to tell you herself and now look what you've done!" He flung his arm out to me. "You made her cry! Now fix it!"

That seemed to bring them out of their stupor and spring into action. They all started talking at once, reaching out to touch my hair, arm and legs. "No, buttercup don't cry! This is very good news!" "Darling, no no no... I'm happy I really am!" "Oh, I can't believe it sweetie! A baby!" Preston sat on the edge of my bed using a tissue to wipe my face, "My dear, you took us all by surprise. You know that we all want children with you. I think that we were all trying to figure how you got pregnant when we were all so careful. We know that you had wanted to wait a little bit longer before starting to try for a baby."

"There is no birth control that is one hundred percent effective except for abstinence." Chase told him sourly before looking at me, "Delphine, you might want to consider forgiving these boneheads for their non reaction to your very wonderful news." I nodded while giving them a watery smile. "Did you want to see the sonogram? Chase is going to do one for me now."

They actually looked excited and there was a chorus of yes. Chase wheeled over the machine and started setting things up. He asked Jake to make sure that the door was shut all the way and the curtain was pulled out in front of the door so that nobody could see even if they opened the door to my room. Chase once again put on some gloves and then asked Jake to pull my blanket down along with my panties. Jake did as he asked and then we all looked confused when Chase held up a slim white tubular thing and slid a condom over it.

Wyatt spoke up, "What the hell Chase? I though that we were going to do a sonogram not stick a vibrator up her. I don't think that she is in the mood for that right now."

Chase waved the thing at him. "This wand is for the sonogram, I need a clearer image than the one I would get over her stomach so this will go in vaginally."

Brady looked at the wand and winced. "That doesn't look comfortable." I gave an unladylike snort, "That's nothing compared to what you guys like to put inside of me." That got a laugh out of them and made them preen. It also helped relax the atmosphere. Chase liberally applied lubricant and had me part my legs before gently inserting the wand. The screen showed black and white fuzziness before images became more clear. He angled the wand a little more to the left without hurting me and a little blob emerged on the right side of the screen.

"There it is!" Chase announced to us. "That's a growing human?" Brady asked in wonder. "Yes," Chase answered, "It does kind of resemble a jelly bean right now and the baby's heart is still developing but already beating." Holding the wand in place with one hand and clicking away at the computer's mouse and keyboard, he enlarged images and showcased the fast beating heart. I looked around at all their faces and their eyes were locked on the screen with expressions of wonder. I smiled feeling better about the baby situation.

Looking back at the screen I saw a tiny little nubs that were the beginnings of arms and legs developing. "Is it a boy or a girl?" Jake asked excitedly. Chase shook his head, "It's too early to tell the baby's sex yet, it isn't developed enough. Usually we can tell by the eighteenth to the twentieth week," he turned his head in my direction, "Will you want to know the sex Delphine?" I nodded eagerly, "Yes, because then I can plan for the nursery and it will take forever to decide on a name."

We all laughed at that and then I felt my stomach start to rebel again. "Chase are you almost done? I'm feeling sick again." He nodded and said, "Sure thing, let me get the wand out of you." Gently he removed it and wiped me clean. Brady pulled up my underwear and Preston handed me the sick bag. Just in time too because I threw up again. "Can't we give her something for that Chase? Is there anything that won't hurt the baby?" Wyatt asked plaintively. Chase nodded and said, "I'll order something for the nausea and the nurse will bring it."

I wiped off my mouth and handed the bag to Chase who still had gloves on to throw away before leaning back. He washed his hands after taking the gloves off before addressing all of us again. "Ok guys, let's talk paternity. The condom users... both of you checked it each time after use for tears or breakage? I know I did." Wyatt and Brady both nodded. "I swear that I checked each time and I always used one." Brady said. Wyatt nodded and said, "Me too!" Chase frowned and said, "Including me but there might have been a tiny tear in one of them that we didn't detect." Chase then turned to look at Preston and Jake, "I know that the two of you had vasectomies but I'd still like for both of you to give me an ejaculation sample to make sure that there is not any sperm in it. We can do that now while you are both here." Turning back to the sonogram cart he printed out a few pictures and then handed it to me.

Chase took Preston and Jake with him out of the room as he wheeled the cart out. Brady and Wyatt took spots on either side of me as I studied the pictures.  "Can we touch your stomach?" Wyatt asked me and I nodded. Their hands reached out over my lower abdomen to cover it. "It's too soon to feel any movement yet but I'll probably start to show in about 8 more weeks." I told them. They caressed that area lightly with big smiles on their faces. They apologized again for upsetting me earlier. The same nurse from earlier came in with a tiny little pill in a paper cup and had me place it under my tongue. I complied and smiled while saying, "Oh, morning sickness is the pits but somehow you forget all the trouble that you went through when you hold the baby in your arms." I agreed remembering when Lexine was born. It had been one of the few times that Rick had actually pulled through for me.  She checked on my IV and made some notes on my chart before leaving the room. Preston and Jake returned and sat on the small couch. "Chase said that he would be back with the test results soon." Jake said with a smile and a wink in my direction.

I handed Brady the tv/ bed remote and told him to find something on tv for them to watch. I closed my eyes and dozed for a little bit since whatever that medication was, it made my stomach settle down so that I could rest. I'm not sure how long, I was out before I woke up when Chase came back in the room with some papers in his hand. We looked at him expectantly and he had an amused look on his face. "Well, the mystery of the how this happened is solved." he announced. Our eyes bounced between Preston and Jake. With a laugh, Chase said, "Preston, you are clearly not the culprit. Jake, it looks like somehow your body decided to fix itself and the vasectomy has reversed. It's rare but it happens sometimes."

Needless to say, poor Jake looked stunned. Then he shook his head as if to clear it and said, "Oh my God. Chase, I never thought that I would be thanking you for all the lecturing about condom use. I'm so grateful that I listened.This is a great example of not taking things for granted." Then he got up from the couch like a shot and was on his knees next to me. Wyatt moved out of the way and Jake leaned over to kiss my forehead. "You are having my baby!" He pulled the covers down and my gown up to see my bare stomach. Reverently he kissed me right below my belly button and caressed it. "Thank you Delphine. I love you so much." That statement brought happy tears to my eyes and I grinned running my hand over his head. I looked up at the rest of them and I saw no jealousy on any of their faces. Just pride and happiness.
