Alli sat on the edge of the bathtub staring at the stick on the counter as if it were a snake about to strike. Different emotions rolled through her as she waited for the alarm on her phone to sound. She was nervous, excited, unsure, and most of all she wondered what Keith would think and say. They had a busy day in front of them and the following day was the wedding. She placed a hand over her stomach fighting a wave of nausea,"Can you please not make me throw up right now?", she took slow deep breaths attempting to keep the little food she had eaten in her stomach.
"Alli-cat?", Keith knocked.
"Yeah", she grabbed the stick off the counter.
"You okay in there? Liam just got here with your dress, won't let me see it of course."
"I'm fine", she sighed,"Just finishing up," she peered down at the stick as the alarm sounded on her phone. A bright pink plus sign blazed up at her,"I'm pregnant", she whispered unsure as to whether she wanted to cry or smile. She stood up placing the test in her pocket.
"There she is!", Liam smiled as she emerged.
"Hey you", Alli hugged him tightly,"How does it look?"
"Amazing, as you well know because you designed it."
"I'll leave you two to get down to business", Keith put a hand against Alli's hip,"Sure you're okay?"
"Never better", she kissed him softly,"Now go so I can see my dress."
"Yes ma'am", he saluted playfully walking out of the bedroom.
"Better tell me now, boss lady", Liam crossed his arms.
"Tell you what?", she laughed crossing to unzip the dress bag.
"Why you were holed up in that bathroom for nearly twenty minutes."
"It's nothing", she shrugged,"Just wasn't feeling too hot."
"Liar", he grinned,"Are you?......."
"Am I what?"
He crossed the room and stood in front of her,"Are you pregnant?", he whispered.
She laughed pulling the stick out of her pocket,"What does the plus mean?"
"Alli!", he grabbed her in a hug,"Have you told Keith yet?"
"I just found out", she breathed with an easy smile,"I'm pregnant, Liam! I'm going to be a mom!"
"You'd better fit into that dress still", he teased.
"I'm not a balloon yet", she swatted at him.

Alli studied Keith as he buttoned his shirt and sat on the edge of the bed to put his shoes on. Taking a deep breath she walked into the room,"You look handsome", she kissed the top of his head and leaned against the windowsill.
"Thanks, love" he smiled,"You look lovely yourself," he enjoyed the way the white and lavendar color sundress flowed over her body, setting off the tanned skin she had gotten over the summer days on the beach.
"We still have a bit before we have to leave",she smiled,"think we could talk?"
"Of course", he stood up tucking his shirt in,"Everything all right?"
"I'm hoping so", she gave a slight laugh. She nervously felt the pregnancy test that was held behind her back.
"Alli-cat?", he said in concern,"What's going on?"
Tell him, just look him in the eye and tell him, she urged herself as his aqua eyes waited for her to say something,"I'm pregnant", the words fell out before a second thought could be formed.
Keith felt his mouth go dry and his palms sweat,"What?"
"I'm pregnant", she held the stick out and watched as he took it with a trembling hand,"Things started to click after getting so sick last night and I took the test earlier."
"You're................you're......", he sat on the edge of the bed scrubbing a hand over his face. The test felt like a hot iron in his hand. They hadn't talked about children, not really. Certainly in passing and somewhere in the future, but not the night before their wedding.
"Do you have anything else to say?", she sat next to him carefully.
He shrugged and looked at her,"I'm not sure, I know we have talked about it, but this," he gestured to the test,"I wasn't expecting it.........."
"So soon", she finished with a nod,"I know it's a lot to take in and that for our honey moon we'll be in LA for your album release. So it's not really a good time, but it's happening."
"It's happening", he repeated raising his eyes to meet hers.
"It is", she smiled,"We're having a baby."
He shook his head in disbelief, but couldn't help the smile the pulled at his lips as he placed a hand against her currently flat stomach,"We're having a baby."

The morning after the wedding Keith and Alli boarded a flight to Los Angeles. Keith was preparing for the release of his first solo album and now he was a husband and expecting his first child. There was more at stake for him now than there had ever been. He wanted and needed for the album to do well. He gazed down at his new bride who had fallen asleep after losing her breakfast shortly after take off. He knew the impending months were not going to be easy on her and there was nothing he could do to stop any of it. He stroked her hair and kissed her forehead. She had been his rock through his worst times and she now needed that from him. The long flight would give his mind plenty of time to over work it self and he closed his eyes trying to stem the over flow of thoughts.
**************************************************
"Can we please get off this plane?", Alli sighed sipping on the soda the flight attendant had brought.
"Soon, Alli-cat, I promise", Keith put an arm around her,"Stomach feeling better?"
"We've been on this plane for almost eleven hours and I have kept down some soda and crackers. Don't think that is anything stellar."
"I'm sorry babe", he chuckled pressing a kiss against her hair.
"Don't laugh at me", she punched his arm playfully,"This is your spawn I'm carrying."
"My spawn?", he stuttered with laughter,"Not even my baby, but a spawn?"
"That's how I feel at the moment, Mr.Harkin."
"Good thing I love you, Mrs.Harkin",he brought her lips to his. She curled her fingers into his hair,"Slow down there champ", he took her arms from his neck.
"Darn hormones", she laughed sitting up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We are beginning our descent into Los Angeles. Flight attendants will be making their rounds for final pick ups. Please make sure you are seated with your seatbelt securely fastened. We'll be on the ground shortly."
"Thank God!", Alli said fastening her seatbelt.
"They said that we will have a car waiting for us to take us to the rental house. It's got a pool, a spa, nice open back porch. Really lovely."
"With a nice big bed?", she smiled,"And a nice big tub for a hot bath after this horribly long flight?"
"Yes", he laughed,"All amenities that a pregnant woman needs, it has."

The gates to a private community swung open as the sleek, black towne car pulled through. Large homes with well manicured lawns passed by as the car pulled onto a different street and into the long driveway of another large, opulent home.
"Guess this is it", Keith said resting his sunglasses on his head.
"This is a rental home?", Alli said taking in the expanse of the house.
"Apparently," he replied as the driver opened the door.
"Mr and Mrs. Harkin, welcome to your home for the next few months. Here are the keys", he dropped them into Keith's hand,"I'll bring your bags in."
"This insane, our place could fit in here", Alli said as they walked up the path to the door.
"Perfect for a honey moon", Keith said sweeping her off her feet and into his arms.
"Enjoy that while you can", she laughed as he opened the door.
"It may not be our home, but thought I would stick with tradition", he carefully placed her feet on the floor,"Happy honeymoon," he captured her lips.
"You're not going to work the entire time either", she rested her head against his chest.
"I promise", he kissed the top of her head as the driver approached with their suitcases.
"Where would you like these?"
"Just here in the foyer", Alli said pulling out of Keith's arms,"We'll unload everything." They waited as he went back out and returned with the last few items. Keith tipped him and finally the newlyweds were left alone.
"Let's explore", Keith took her hand as they walked about the house. It was done in an Tuscan style with arched doors and hallways. A large, sliding glass panel opened up the living area to adjoin the exspansive deck area that led out to an inifity pool. The master bedroom was a sunny yellow with a large four poster bed in the middle. The french doors opened to a private balcony over looking the pool and held a view of the city down below.
"This is perfect", Alli sighed leaning against her husband,"Can we eat now?"
"And so it begins!", he laughed pulling her towards the well stocked kitchen,"I'll cook."
"Surprise me", she kissed his cheek,"I need a shower."
"Not even going to tell me what you want?" he called towards the foyer.
"I don't care", she laughed pulling her suitcase and lifting her toiletries bag,"I am a hungry, sleepy, pregnant woman. Just give me food."
"Omelets it is!", he said going into the refrigerator.

I would have loved more details about the Wedding and how the rest of the CT family reacted to the news that Allie Is Pregnant! But the the Spawn line made up for it! Also love Allie's line about being hungry! And I agree with Onyx! It is going to be a very LONG NINE MONTHS FOR KEITH! HOPE HE'S PREPARED FOR THE RIDE OF HIS LIFE!
