It was hours before Clarice got another chance to sit and relax. The voice that had been plaguing her all morning never really got totally quiet but was drowned out by the conversation of the guests descending upon McMillan Farm for the holidays.

But by the time she was in the kitchen on her own, filling the dishwasher with the empty remnants of dinner, her thoughts returned to the weird bout of sickness as well as everything else that had been going on.

Clariiice! Soon! The strange voice seemed to whisper.

What could it be? Had this been one of her novels, the sudden nausea would trigger suspicion.

Wait, how long had it been since her last period?

Clarice's heart raced as she tried to remember. It had been a while, for sure, but in all her planning for the holidays she'd completely lost track.

But that's not possible, is it?

She used to be on the pill but hadn’t seen the need since Derek was pretty sure nothing could happen. She was human; he was a bear. They wouldn't be compatible enough to be able to have a baby. And yet...

Clarice sunk down onto one of the chairs and rested her elbows on the wooden table. Was this actually happening?

She wasn't sure how to feel about it and didn't get the chance to make up her mind.

"Sweetheart?" Derek opened the door and gave her a concerned look. "I know I've been asking this all day but are you okay? I was just walking by and could hear your heart beating much faster than normal."

Clarice didn't know what to say. I don't know!

He came up to her, resting one of his hands on her shoulder. She closed her eyes and tried to collect herself again.

I think perhaps I might be pregnant...

"You what?" Derek blurted out.

His eyes were wide open, mouth agape. Shit. We're not ready, are we? I never even thought this was possible!

"Are you sure?" Derek asked, and kneeled down on the floor beside her.

Clarice covered her face with her hands. "No. I'm not sure of anything right now."

He paused for a moment, then placed his hand on her stomach. "It's not possible," he whispered.

And yet... Clarice looked up again. Derek's brown eyes seemed to have turned a few shades darker.

"I never thought..." He took a deep breath and pressed his lips together.

Oh God, they were so totally not ready for this.

"I never expected I'd ever become a father." Derek looked helpless, his eyes moistening slightly.

"I'm sorry, I feel like I should have been more prepared," Clarice whispered.

He shook his head. "No. Don't."

She bit her lip. What were they going to do?

"This is nothing short of a miracle." He reached out to her, wrapping his arms tightly around her. His embrace filled her with warmth.

Clarice had been so distracted by all that had happened that she hadn't listened to her gut. She was scared. So was he, but more than that she felt a different emotion spill over from him into her. Derek, more than anything, was ecstatic.
