Chase quietly set the phone down in the cradle and took a deep breath as he looked at the kitchen wall in front of him to collect his thoughts. He wet his lips and glanced at the door in the direction of where Rogue was somewhere in the rest of the apartment. He closed over a small notebook and tucked it safely into the third drawer down, shoving

Rogue hadn't really been taking anything in. She wanted to just be able to sit and watch TV, but nothing appealed to her. She could just put on a DVD but apparently even that was too much effort. She was comfortable, dammit!

We might have to put the wedding for for a month, maybe two."

I mean, it could, but... if it's gonna take a month, or two... nothin' will change, right? You'll still want to get married?"

Her eyes turned back to the Doc, and her heart started to beat faster. It was perhaps an awful question to ask of him, but she needed to be sure. She didn't want a bump like this to ruin all their plans.

"The baby isn't going to be born in the next month or two... I hope. Sheesh, between Tara calling hers Bump and you calling yours Blob, our kids are going to have issues." He squeezed her hand "Why wouldn't I still want to get married? And things might be alright. We'll try and find another venue," he insisted.
