It had been a week since April had found out she was pregnant and she still hadn't told Donnie. She was going to have to sooner or later. Preferably before he picks up on her symptoms.

"Hey. Donnie?" April turned to face the father of her child.

"Yea?" Don faced her.

"Um... Never mind." she looked down at her hands.

"You know you can tell me anything.."

"If I tell you, you will hate me."

"April. I could never hate you. Nothing you do will make me hate you. On that note, what did you do?" Don gave her a look she often saw him give Mikey. It was his what-did-you-do-Mikey look.

"Nothing." she looked up in his eyes innocently.

"Then.. What did you want to tell me?"

"I.. Don't remember." she lied.

"Tell me." his voice was firm and so was his gaze, but at the same time there was a sense of trust.

"I'm pregnant."

"I'm sorry.. Did you just say you're pregnant?!" Donnie's voice raised and at the same time go higher.

"Shh! No one else knows about it!" April tried to hush him.

"You.. We.. I'm babies?" the two words 'I'm pregnant', were all it took to reduce Don into a babbling mass of incoherent goo. His jaw must have hit the floor. But how he reacted was what surprised April. After he got out of mental shock, he scooped her up, twirled her around, and kissed her deeply on the mouth. Then he laid his forehead atop hers and sighed.

And the only thing that came to April's mind was "I love you."
