Now thoroughly confused, he frowned, "But how can you be so sure i cant help you if i dont know what it is?" He ran a hand up and down her back soothingly.

"Ace... what i am about to tell you... you cannot tell anybody..." she shuddered. "Not even Red...." she whispered in his ear. "Promise? I'm trusting you Ace... your my special friend..."

Completely worried now, he paused with the rubbing of her back. Not tell Red? What was going on? "I...Promise."

She pulled away from him and looked him straight in the eye. "Ace..." she paused, hardly able to choke out the words. If she said them, they became all the more real. "I think..." she took a deep breath in and closed her eyes briefly. "Ace... I'm pregnant..."

Ace stared. And stared, and stared. And then, he blinked. "Huzzahwhanow?" He squeaked. "You're...."

Fancy nodded at him solemnly. "yeah Ace... I'm having kids... Red and I are having kids...." she stared down at her still flat stomach and winced.

"No... not now!" she wailed. "This is the worst possible timing.... like Red needs to think about anything else!" she paused and wipped the tears away. "That's why i'm not telling him...."

"But...dahlin..." He used his thumb to smooth away some of the tear tracks. "Dont you think that by not tellin him, that when you do...it would be worse?"

Fancy sniffed and shook her head. "No...i'm not telling him." she was on the verge of a mental break down and she didn't know what to do. "Last time i saw him... he was..." she waved an arm around. "Not in the shape i want him to be when he finds out that he is having a CHILD!" she nearly screeched....

Ace reached out and snagged the arm before it could hit him in the head. "Dahlin, dahlin! Calm down and talk to me... What shape? What happened?" What have i been missing?

Fancy sighed and told him the whole story start to finish, about how she had been talking with Spot all the way up until she left Red bawling on the Bunks. "Ace... I'm so scared..." she finally gasped, when she was done. "Ace... I don't know what to do... I'm eighteen.. i'm not meant to be a mother right now! Am I?"

Ace shushed her, smoothing her hair back with one hand. "Breathe, Fancy, dahlin, breathe." When he made sure she was doing just that, he continued, in a soft voice. "Things happen foah a reason, and we might not always understand or acknowledge that reason, but it is there. If you are meant to be a mother at eighteen, then you will be one." He gave her a wry smile, "And i think you will be wonderful."

Fancy looked at him. Her eyes, which were usually celery green, were now a misty haze and her face was streaked with faint red lines from the crying. "What if he hates me now? What if he thinks i'm a whore?" Fancy whispered to him. "Ace... I don't want him to leave..."

"Woah, back up." He gave her an odd look, "Who would think you're a whore? and who would leave?"
