Christmas Struggles I
He knew that Christmas was soon and he knew that people liked to give each other presents. Of course the little otter wasn't really informed about the whole Santa Clause business, because Andraste hadn't cared to tell him, but at least he was in for the spirit.
Jacosa had collected everything that was able to be used as paint starting with a tube of toothpaste up to some ink, which had been put into a cupboard without a real reason. Secretly he had chosen the best spot in the whole flat, also known as the white kitchen wall and had painted people with guns and himself and Andraste. It was a masterpiece in the otter's eyes and hopefully she would like it.
Quickly he moved back into his bed, which was standing in the sleeping room close to the woman's one.
~~
Andraste was really close to a nervous breakdown. The coffee mug she was holding slipped out of her hands and the brown liquid was quickly spread on the floor. Jacosa squealed happily, because in his opinion this was a great sign. She liked it. "Mary's Chris mess ! He announced happily and pushed his nose against Andraste's jeans.
What would she say ? Would she be happy ? Yes, yes ?!
She knew the otter only wanted to make her happy and if she wanted to be a good mother, she wasn't allowed to yell at him, but....
Andraste took a deep breath as the doorbell rang and Jacosa toddled towards the door peering through the newspaper slit.
"Stranger or nice ?" Jacosa asked the one he couldn't really see. The trousers looked familar though, indeed. But Andraste had told him that he shouldn't talk to strangers and so he decided to ask first.
The person kneeled down so Jacosa could see him. "It's Ranjit, Jacosa. You can open the door." The otter squealed in delight and tried to open the door on his tiptoes. As it didn't work he jumped and clung to the handle so the door was opened and Ranjit could enter.
So he did. "Merry Christmas, my dears !" He announced with a smile and Andraste answered with a frown.
"Spilled your coffee ?" Ranjit pointed at the ground and Andraste's eyes grew wide. "Oh no !" Quickly she moved to clean up the mess and was too busy to notice that she usually didn't want the colleague around.
"So tell me Jacosa, what did you get for Christmas ?" Ranjit lifted the toddler up and moved one hand through his hair.
"Pwesent. Made me !" Very proud of his gift Jacosa pointed at the wall and now Ranjit could understand Andraste's expression. "Wow, and you did it really on your own ?" The otter nodded happily and nudged the shoulder of the man.
"I didn't gave him his present yet." Andraste sighed and looked at the one with the blue skin. Right now she was grateful that he was there, because otherwise she really would have yelled at Jacosa and he would have been upset. She wasn't fond of Christmas, but afterall Jac was still too small to understand this.
"Next time you should draw on paper though, Jac." Ranjit smiled and carried the little one into the living room to put him down on the couch. "Me cannot wite." The otter sighed as he remembered the whole stuff about letters he didn't understand yet. "Don't worry, we can teach you if you want. But aren't you interested in getting presents as well ?" The man asked and looked at the otter, whose eyes sparkled because of joy.
Ranjit pulled a little seashell out of his pockets which was wrapped in a red ribbon. "I thought you might like it, Jac."
And indeed the little one was amazed and just stared at the precious thing in his paws. Holy Night, what a wonderful present. After licking it he looked at Ranjit and smiled so broadly that his lonely tooth was visible. "Thankoo!" Jacosa quickly hugged the man's belly before sliding off the couch and stumbling towards the door to the kitchen where his mother was standing. "Lookit, lookit, lookit !" He screamed and waved with the shell.
"That's pretty, Jac." Andraste sighed and looked towards Ranjit. "I need your help."

Christmas Struggles II
"You don't have a single little present for him ?" The blue skinned man stared at the woman in front of him and shook his head. Andraste felt horrible. She had totally forgotten about Christmas and didn't know what to buy for the little otter. Now it was almost too late.
"No." She sighed while slowly massaging her forehead. "I'm a truly bad mother. I don't even know what I thought when I told you I'd keep him. It won't work out as you see."
Ranjit hesitated but put a hand on her shoulder and smiled slightly. "Don't worry, the shops are still open. Let's go and buy a nice gift for him." Andraste looked up into the man's eyes and frowned. "Nice idea, fishguy. But actually...we can't take him with us."
"Don't worry, we'll just take him to my mother. She loves children and I guess Jacosa will have lots of fun."
Andraste was full of doubt but in such a situation you're barely able to say 'no'.
~~
Jacosa was chewing on the seashell as the grown-ups entered the living room again and looked at them with excitement. What was going to happen now ? Something interesting, probably.
The blue one was the first one to talk, not his usual person. "Hey Jac, what do you think about visiting someone nice ?" The otter thought about it for a moment. "May take shell ?" The little one asked and as Andraste nodded he imitated the gesture. "Cosa likes meeting friends."
Andraste lifted him up, stroked through his hair and moved out of the flat with Ranjit. "We can take my car."

A Fateful Drink
Her body felt awfully heavy as she moved to sit down on the chair offered to her. Right now she'd love to take a shower and put Jacosa into the bathtub to be comfortable for a few minutes in life. But actually she had just managed a strange shopping trip with a man, she didn't really know. Well, to be true she had the strange feeling that he instead seemed to know her better than anyone else. That was actually the point that scared her.
As Ranjit sat down beside her she decided not to look at him, but better looked through the bags she had carried. "You really think this will make him happy ?" Andraste muttered as she looked at the pencils, crayons and books. "Indeed. He had told me that he would like to learn how to read and write." The blue-skinned one smiled and nodded to support his statement.
The woman's purple eyes examined the surroundings. A usual pub, nothing special. Usually she liked such comfortable places, but now something in her mind wanted to hate this sort of building just for Ranjit choosing it. That was so unfair that he had to read her mind like that. He shouldn't be the guy to do such things, he wasn't even real human !
"What are you thinking about ?" He asked and seemed totally disinterested at the same time. Andraste was furious. "How your mom will kill my otter, lovely." She gnarled and literally spit out the words. Now he should feel insulted, now, NOW !
Ranjit just laughed though. "Oh truly, she won't. It would mess up the carpet."
Enough, enough, she would leave now. Catch up Jacosa and then they would celebrate Christmas on their bloody own. Her heels almost demolished the floor as she stood up and was about to bump into a waiter. "Can I get you something, Miss ?" He asked as politely as possible although he was a bit irritated by the frown on the woman's face.
Purple eyes trailed back to Ranjit. He had to offer to pay for her now, every polite man would do so. Every damn guy in the world would do so.
Ranjit just leaned back, crossed his arms behind his head and smiled.
Andraste gasped for air. How did he dare to insult her like this ? Alright, she wasn't the oh-so-pretty-lady-type, but at least somebody should offer her a drink. "Gimme some Bacardi." She hissed and the waiter hurried off before she sat down with a thud.
"Is something wrong ?" Ranjit grinned as he played around with a beer coaster. "Is something wrong ?" Andraste mocked him sarcastically and snorted. Otter business, disrespect and now stupid questions. She would have killed him by the end of the day for sure.
"Don't worry about Jac, he's secure with my mother." The man commented and didn't seem to care about the woman's temper. Instead he seemed pretty released and carefree. Did he care about anything at all or was his brain just fried, dissolved or eaten ?
As the Bacardi arrived Andraste downed it quickly and glared at waiter. "Another one."

A Couple of Drinks later...
Ever heard a drunken guinea pig laugh ? No ?
To Ranjit Andraste's giggling exactly sounded like that ( at least in his imagination ). "You remember when Jacosa puked on my shirt ?" She laughed hysterically which caused everyone else to back away from the couple. Ranjit just nodded and cautiously tried to pull away the glass, which was placed in front of the woman. Just before his fingertips reached it Andraste grabbed it and downed the whole drink.
"Martini ! More Martini !" She yelled and waved at everyone else in the room with laughter. "Fishguuuuy." The woman chirped as she turned back to Ranjit and was about to throw the empty glass at him. "Your fault, you know ? Everything and anything and so on...the otter, youuur idea, darling - FISHGUY !" She ranted and tightened her grip on the glass. "Waiter, gimme more. Gimme Martini." Andraste laughed and wasn't even able to spell the words right anymore. Something needed to be done, quickly.
"Come on, let's go, Andraste." Ranjit moved up and tried to help her to get on her feet, but she just started to giggle again. "Bye, bye, dearest sardine. Meeting you was a pleasure, you sexy little mermaid." The man frowned and sent his apologize to all the people around. This meant the two punks in the corner, who were the only ones who hadn't left yet.
"I pick up Jac now." The woman demanded as she noticed that nobody supplied her with drinks again. "Where are my keys ?"
Ranjit eyes almost popped out as he heard that Andraste wanted to drive. No way, definately no way. "They are - Did you forget that you lost them ?"
Andraste blinked as she almost stumbled over her own feet and he had to catch her. "Did I ?" She scratched her head and just looked at the dizzy world around her.
"Yes, yes, you did." Ranjit quickly added and moved his arms around Andraste's waist slowly shoving her out of the pub. "We also called my mother. Jacosa's able to stay there." He lied and felt horrible by doing so, but he'd done anything to protect Andraste from going by car alone.
As the fresh cold air of the night hit the woman's face her body rebelled against the alcohol and she quickly had to turn aside as she threw up on the sideway.
"Uuhh..." Was everything she mumbled as Ranjit simply grabbed her and pushed her into the car. "Isn't this - ?"
"Shut up." Ranjit mumbled as he started the engine and looked at the woman beside him. She was truly beautiful even after this massaker. He definately knew why he liked her.
"Do you take me home now ?" Andraste whispered as her forehead leaned against the cool glass of the window and her breath made the window mist up.
Ranjit didn't answer and turned the lights on as he started to drive towards his hotel. He wouldn't let her alone tonight.

Desires
Take a shower. That's what he had said, but he had never thought that she would...
Ranjit gasped for air as he stared at the bathroom door in shock. He was sitting on the couch, because he had wanted Andraste to take the bed. After all she was his guest and he was sure that she would have killed him, if they'd slept close to each other. Not that he would have touched her anyway, but...
What the hell was she thinking ?
"Hey...Ranjit." The woman smiled and leaned against the frame of the door. Her dark hair was wet and glistened in the warm light of the bathroom lamp, drops of water were trickling down the white towel she was wearing.
In the man's imagination she'd come over to him now and they would do something he used to dream of for years.
"Where do you have your shampoo ?" Andraste asked and looked quite innocent. Much too innocent for the young man's likings. His brain didn't seem to work right anymore or it must have moved to his pants. "It's in the - shower ??"
Andraste shook her head and sighed. "That's where I've been, could you probably help me searching ?"
NO ! No way. She - in a towel, he - totally horny and freaking in love with this woman, no - "Sure."
As the woman toddled back into the bathroom he could literally slap himself. How could he ? She was drunk, she was pretty and just wearing a towel. "Are you coming ?" Andraste called from the bathroom and Ranjit really wondered why she needed him to find some shampoo.
She didn't need him to find some shampoo. Obviously. "It's right here, apple scent, didn't you see it ?" He shook his head and suddenly something struck him. Indeed not something but a certain white towel.
"How do you fishguys have sex actually ?" Andraste purred as she moved across his back with her index finger. Think about big hairy guys, Ranjit. Think about ugly women, don't think about - HER STANDING BEHIND YOU TOTALLY NAKED.
For a few seconds there was silence as Ranjit tried to think. ( Hey, he had tried at least. ) "Andraste, you're drunk." Phew, he had said it. Now she would get dressed again and everything would be fine. Everybody should understand that he was nervous. She was the woman he adored for years and now she just dropped her towel and asked him how he had sex. Life definately wasn't fair, why couldn't she do it when she was capable of all her senses ? He'd easily say 'Let me show you'.
Andraste didn't think about getting dressed again. He was handsome in his very own way. Alright, sometimes he was annoying, but after all he cared about her. She felt secure when he was around and like every woman she wanted to be estimated as worthy and as pretty.
Oh yes and definately she was drunk, deadly drunk. If he said 'no' tonight, she'd be very unhappy. Not because she loved him so much, but just because he didn't estimate her as worthy. If Ranjit didn't love her, nobody would. So no choice, she'd tease him.
"I know what I'm doing, Ranjit. We both know you want it, dear." Her head leaned against his back as she moved her hands up is thighes.
"Even if I would...we won't Andraste. You don't know what you're talking ..."
The young man wasn't able to finish his sentence as his former colleague had just made him turn around and had pushed her lips onto his. Goodness, how should he resist ? She knew what she was doing, right ? Probably she had just played the drunken one to seduce him ? Obviously !
She wouldn't do it if she didn't want to...
As her tongue slipped into his mouth Ranjit lifted the woman up and carried her towards the bed.

The Morning After
Her head hurt and it felt like someone had used it as chewing gum. Andraste expected Jacosa to jump onto her belly within minutes, but nothing happened. She opened her eyes very slowly and first of all thought that she was still dreaming. This obviously wasn't her home, it was a hotel room. Quite nice, though. The bed was fluffy and comfortable, the sunlight was shining through the window and silence was everywhere.
Andraste sighed contently as she suddeny noticed something. She was naked ! Although she still felt a bit sick, her brain hadn't stopped working. Cautiously her eyes trailed towards the other side of the bed and then grew wide. Goodness...no.
Ranjit had slept very well and had probably expected Andraste to snuggle up to him in the morning light and then he'd finally tell her how much he loved her and how happy he was and....but fingernails and scratches didn't really had to do with his imaginations.
Sadly this appeared to be reality as somebody scratched along his back in a very furious manner. There was something sitting on his back as well. "Andraste...darling ?" He mumbled into the pillow as suddenly something was stabbed into his flesh. "Don't you darling me !" The woman hissed as she moved close to his ear. "Fishguy...what did you do ?!" She growled just like a dog of the dangerous kind.
Ranjit swallowed and pushed Andraste off his body onto the other side of the bed, where she now hissed once again. "We had sex. Good sex, so to speak." He grinned slightly and moved through his hair with one hand.
"I WAS DRUNK !" Andraste yelled and was about to hit him again as he catched her wrist and tried to keep her from doing so. "How could you ? b*****d, a*****e, Idiot, impotent FISGUY !" The woman, who was wearing a t-shirt and panties by now, cursed and attacked the man once again. Ranjit didn't know if he should laugh or cry, but he decided that at least he should defend himself from the furious attack.
"You literally begged for it." True. She had. Hadn't she ?
Andraste yowled as her foot hit his side and Ranjit coughed. "Never, never, you abused me. YOU DID !" The Nokke shook his head and tried to keep her from killing him with a pillow.
"How did you just dare to touch me ?" Andraste yelled, but somehow her mind started to remember parts of the evening. She didn't want to know about it. It was Ranjit's fault, for sure. "Get out of my life, alright ?" She continued cursing as she got out of the bed and got dressed quickly.
"But what about Jac ? What about...Andraste, that's simply not fair !" The man was totally awake now as he got up to follow her.
"Damnit, Ranjit. GET DRESSED !" The female bodyguard slipped into her high heels and glared at the man for a moment before she turned around. "Oh...yeah, sure." Totally out of mind Ranjit got dressed and continued begging for her understanding. She was stubborn though.
"I want you to pick up Jacosa with me now, because I don't know the way to your mother." Andraste hissed and had to keep herself from slapping him. "After that...I never want to see you again !"

Let's go home
"Mom, it's us." Ranjit said as he entered the house and Andraste dashed into the living room. "Hello. Nice to see you again. Where's Jacosa ?"
Narra smirked and pointed at the room's corner, where the otter was busily playing with the little creature.
Ranjit's eyes were full of sadness as Andraste grabbed the fourth wall's wrist. "I'm back, Jacosa. We can go home now." She said and you could literally sense the tension inside of her.
Just as he didn't notice it the otter started to smile widely and hugged his mother's extended arm. "Mommy !" Andraste looked pretty shocked and retreated a few steps before glaring at Narra, who didn't seem to pay attention. He had never called her like that before and she never intended that he'd do so.
Suddenly the strange creature close to Jacosa got her attention and she frowned once again. "She is Otta. She came out of the shell." The otter squealed happily and wrapped his arms around the pet's neck. "It's a Lucarin." Narra commented as she tried to cheer her son up with a smile. She didn't know what happened, but she sensed that something unusual was going on.
Ranjit sighed and moved closer towards the woman he loved. "Andraste...we really need to talk about it." The man started as the woman just glared at him and picked Jacosa up. "Ottaaaa !" The boy wailed and managed to grab the pet's tail, which yowled. The woman growled, but picked up the Lucarin as well.
"Thanks for watching him." She looked at Narra and nodded with gritted teeth. Ranjit was a b*****d for doing this to her, truly. "We will leave now."
Jacosa pouted but he knew that there could nothing be done about such facts of life. He pushed his nose against Otta and smiled. "See yoo !"
His tail wiggled and he waved friendly as Andraste stormed out of the house and towards the car. Out of sudden Jacosa realised that he had forgotten to say thank you to Ranjit and tried to move out of the woman's grip. Sadly he didn't manage to do so and as Andraste pushed him into the children's safety seat he started to cry.
"I know. Bad people, bad people, Jacosa." The mother growled and tied a safety belt around the pet as well without thinking about her actions. The otter was quick enough to get his tail into the right position, otherwise it would have been stuck between the door and the car as Andraste slammed the door.
Jacosa leaned his forehead against the pet's one and closed his eyes. Sometimes he wasn't able to understand the grown-ups at all.

Anger
I ******** can't believe it ! The fishguy RAPED me...
Alright, not really, but hey, we had sex and then I woke up and...I could kill him, really I could. I can remember everything and that's the bad part. Why was my brain so fuzzy that night ? Why ? Why ?
But that's not all of the s**t, no of course not. Jacosa got a shell from Ranjit ( *scribble scribble hate signs and curses* ) and a little creature came out of it. The otter loves it to death and called the girl 'Otta', it's a Lucarin and it lives in our bathtub now. It's it's bed so to speak.
Jacosa loves it a lot and so he's distracted at least. I'm not distracted, not at all. We will celebrate New Year's Eve alone, alone. ALONE !
Me and my otter and the strange...otta. Yeah, that's how it will be.

Sadness
Dear Memory,
I don't know what to think anymore. The night with Andraste was the best of my life and I was happy. Why did she have to freak out like that ? I really feel guilty, although I know there's no reason to feel like that.
At least Jacosa seemed to like my present and he will have a friend. I miss the little otter, because I know I won't see him for a while. I just can't believe that she never wants to see me again. It won't work out anyway, after Christmas and such events work will start again and she'll have to talk to me.
My mother told me that everything will be alright again, but I don't really know. I fear I destroyed something.
Ranjit

Morning Issues
The sun was busily shining from the blue sky as the day dawned. Birds were singing and everything was peaceful...
WHAM ! The door hit the wall and a figure sprinted into the bathroom.
The Lucarin, which had slept inside the tub, stared at the woman who was coughing and spitting above the toilet.
The Lucarin yawned and started to purr as she noticed her best friend, Jacosa, close to the door. "Mommy ouch ?" He rubbed his eyes still a bit tired and moved his tail slowly.
Andraste turned around and wiped some liquid away from her lips. Her face was pale and she just wanted to smile as she had to puke again and turned back to the toilet.
Jacosa frowned and moved into the bathroom. Now he was worried, his mother had some serious problems. "It's alright, Jacosa. I'm just a bit sick, don't worry." The woman got up, flushed the toilet and washed her hands. "I just need to see a doctor...that's not the first time this happens now." She sighed and refused to pick up the otter. If she was really ill she didn't want him to be infected.
"Give Otta fish, alright ?" She sighed and sat down on the couch. Since she'd been with Ranjit everything was just damn stupid.
Andraste sighed as she heard how the otter opened the fridge. There it was, the new year and many things had changed. Alright, she had never liked Ranjit too much, but he had helped her with Jacosa when there were problems. Now she was completely alone for sure.
She really needed to see a doctor. She was feeling sick throughout the morning, exhausted and tired. Something wasn't right...

HELP !
Book,
I went to this clinic today to ask for help because of my everlasting disease. I didn't want to infect Jacosa. I don't know how otters react to human illness and I really don't want to find out.
Anyway, I went to his clinic and there was a psycho person who told me I'd be infected with a BABY ! You know, like being pregnant and such.
First of all I didn't believe her, but somehow the idea has settled in my mind now and I'm really afraid. I didn't get my menstruation in time and I have to puke in the mornings. Need to see the toilet often.
Horrible ! I don't want a fish baby, I really don't want it. I still hope my body is just playing a trick or something. It was difficult with Jacosa, how difficult will it be with a fish baby inside of my stomach ?
I need to talk to someone about it and I definately need to take a test. Yes, I'll go and buy a pregnancy test right away.

The Test
Andraste sat on the couch and watched Jacosa, who was busily scribbling on paper. He was getter better each day and the woman really wondered how he managed to be so quiet when doing this.
"Hey, Jacosa. Want to watch TV ?" The otter shook his head and continued to learn the words as the mother sighed. Her eyes trailed towards the bathroom door and she shivered. There had been nothing on this stupid indicator before, she had checked several times since she had come home from the pharmacy.
She had done it, how it was usually done. Put some urin on the stick and wait...damn how long did she have to wait ? Andraste scratched her head nervously. It was probably ready for a long time, but she just didn't dare to go back to the bathroom.
Calm down, Andraste. Where's the problem ? You're not pregnant, you can go and take a look and laugh at the stupid people and...She got up and looked at Jacosa before stumbling into the bath. Her hands were shaking as she picked up the test, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Alright....
She sighed and opened her eyes again and started to scream in horror. There was indeed a blue sign on the indicator !
She was pregnant. Indeed. A fish baby.
Her eyes filled with water and she started to sob silently. How was she ever going to deal with this...

Phone Call I
Lisa : "Hey, here's Lisa from the bodyguard agency. Who am I talking to ?"
Andraste : "Erm..it's me.."
Lisa : "Andraste is that you ? Why aren't you at work, we're waiting for you."
Andraste : "Got a problem, Lisa."
Lisa : "Oh dear what happened to you ? Usually you never miss your job. Come on you can talk me, we share office for quite a few years now."
Andraste : "I really can't tell. Still shocked."
Lisa : "I'll be getting on your nerves throughout the next weeks until you tell me. You know that, don't you ?"
Andraste : "Yeah, I know."
Lisa : "So come on, don't be afraid."
Andraste : *sigh* "Alright, I'm pregnant."
Lisa : *silence*"... ... ... WTF, ANDRASTE !"
Andraste : "See, I told you it's a problem."
Lisa : "No, it's wonderful. I just didn't expect this."
Andraste : "Welcome to the club."
Lisa : "Who's the father ?"
Andraste : *mumbling*
Lisa : "I didn't understand. Who ? Do I know him ?"
Andraste : *through gritted teeth* Ranjit.
Lisa : "RANJIT ? You mean, the one I know, the one working with us, the one..."
Andraste : "Yeah."
Ranjit from far away on Lisa's line : "You called for me, Lisa ?"
Andraste: "Don't tell him, do you hear me Lisa ?"
Lisa : "Er, no I didn't. Er, I mean yes I won't."
Ranjit : "Who's on the line ?"
Andraste : "Just tell them that I'm sick and not able to come today, alright ?"
Lisa : "Yes, yes sure...bye Andraste !"
Ranjit : "It's HER ?!"
*click*....

At Work
Lisa pushed the telephone back in place and grinned at the handsome man in front of her, who had put his hands on her desk and glared at her.
"Hey Ranjit, what's up ?" She grinned and tried to occupy herself with some papers in front of her.
Ranjit frowned. He knew Andraste had been on the telephone, he wanted to know what was wrong with her. She never missed her job. Hopefully he wasn't the one who caused all the trouble, but something tickling in his mind told himself that he indeed was the cause.
"What is wrong with her ?" He asked and his dark eyes looked at the woman intensively just as they were shouting 'Tell me, tell me'. Lisa swallowed and tried to hide her excitement, which was still pretty obvious. "She's not hurt, is she ?" His grip tightened on the metal, but the woman just shook her head. "Er..no she's quite alright."
"Quite ?" The blue-skinned one sighed and moved away from the table towards the window looking at the skyline. "I'm just worried, you know that, Lisa." The woman shrugged. "I know. Everyone knows you like her, but nobody knew that you like her so MUCH." Ranjit turned around and frowned, which caused Lisa to bite her lip. Oh oh...
"What are you talking about ?" His voice demanded and he raised an eyebrow. Andraste wouldn't be so stupid to tell anyone about the night they had spent, especially not Lisa who was well-known to spread all kinds of gossip. Now she seemed to retreat though, which made him even more curious. "Nothing, nothing." She moved towards a cupboard to pull out some folders as she suddenly felt Ranjit behind her.
"Tell me, Lisa." He hissed almost threatening, but Lisa just shook her head. "I know what you'll do. You will call her and she will yell at you and get stressed. Stress is not good in her current state." Ranjit twitched and moved away from the woman, who was relieved to be able to sit down again.
"She's ill right ? Oh my god, she's really desperately sick." Ranjit hit the wall with one hand and growled. "I wouldn't call a pregnancy a disease..." Lisa mutter and her eyes grew wide as she had noticed what she'd just revealed.
The man stood still and gasped for air. "P-Pregnancy ?"
"You don't know it from me, it was your fault. She told me not to tell you that you're the father." Lisa cried out and Ranjit stared at her in disbelieve. "I'll be a ...daddy ?"
Oh damn, now they really had a problem. He grinned and moved back into his office as quickly as possible to grab the telephone.
