AN: Thanks for those who hung there while I tried to get my act together We're coming into the last couple of chapters. Thanks.
"Cathy-cake, please," Ed whined as she sat on the floor.
"This is the only way to keep an eye on you," Catherine called through a baby monitor. "Don't worry once I finish making lunch, I come back upstairs."
"You know you brought this on yourself," Faye commented as she sat behind Ed. "If you hadn't run off for three months and then got shot we wouldn't be in this mess."
"You ran off too," Ed pointed out wiggling against Faye to get more comfortable.
"We're talking about you." Faye frowned then sighed. "Watch it back there. I am in a delicate condition." She spoke up so the baby monitor could detect her voice. "You know Catherine; this is not how you're supposed to treat pregnant women." Silence. "Hello?"
Down the hall Catherine sank to the floor in shock. It could not be right. She looked over the test strip once again and sure enough she was pregnant. This was quite a predicament. Three pregnant ladies in the house and none of them understood the meaning of taking it easy. She was supposed to be the voice of reason for the guys while they were gone. Trowa and Quatre were supposed to have one less thing to worry about. Now it was a matter of time before she had both Duo and Trowa on her case. What would Duo do when he found out? Worse would her brother try to commit homicide at the unexpected news that he was about to become an uncle? This was bad. This was very bad. "Hello, Catherine?"
Catherine stood to her feet and picked up the baby monitor. "Sorry, I left the monitor. Is everything all right?"
"Will you let us out now?" Ed pleaded.
"No," Catherine said firmly stuffing the directions to the test in her pocket. She washed her hands and left the room. "Lunch will be ready in five minutes."
Ed sighed and leaned against Faye. "She sounds funny."
"I think we need to worry about other things." Faye struggled against her bonds. "I just want to know what I did to deserve to be tied to you. At least Catherine could have tied us up separately." She pushed against Ed slightly. "Get off me."
"Sorry, Faye-Faye," Ed smiled. The smile went from her face as she heard the vid phone ringing across the room. The red light blinked indicating that it was encoded message from work. She started wriggling against Faye.
"Would you stop it?" Faye snapped. "Just cut yourself free instead of torturing me. We'll explain it to Catherine later."
Ed nodded and reached for one of Catherine's throwing knives. She had liberated it from Faye earlier when the purple haired woman refused to play along and tried to get away. She cut the ropes, freeing the two of them and crawled over to the phone. "Sunny, here."
Raine's image appeared on the screen. "Have you seen Sylvia?"
"No, why?" she asked.
"She hasn't checked in today and that's not like her," Raine ran her hands through her hair nervously and amber eyes narrowed. "With all this shit going down. Everybody needs to check in got that, chick!"
"You don't have to worry about me," she held up a piece of rope and grinned. "I am tied up as it is."
Raine shook her head. She did not want to know what kind of kink games Sunny and her man were playing. "Too much information. Let us know if you hear anything and keep your nose clean."
Sunny smiled and nodded her head. "I'll let you know if I find anything," she replied before ending the call. She turned around thoughtfully and saw Faye watching her curiously. "What?"
"You're different when you talk to Raine," Faye replied. "I'm just not used to it."
"It's hard for bounty heads to take me seriously when I act like I am twelve years old," Ed said solemnly. "Too much has happened to go back now, but I am still me." She smiled and slid her goggles upward. "Don't worry; I still love you, Faye-Faye."
Faye rolled her eyes in annoyance but could not help but smile. She had been waiting for Ed to grow up forever and now she had. It was a little unnerving, especially considering the circumstances that it brought it all about, but it could have been much worse. At least Ed's spirit was intact, she still had the light in her eyes no matter how weird she acted, it was still there and that kept Faye calm. "Same here I guess," she sighed teasingly.
The smile faded from Ed's face when she heard Catherine's footsteps coming down the hall. "We're going to be in trouble."
"Yeah whatever," she replied waving her hand. She pulled out a nail file. "Quatre will get over it as along I don't go too far. I am six weeks pregnant after all; I do have some restraint you know."
"I don't," Ed admitted. "I do try for fiancée-person's sake."
Faye nodded knowingly. "I know they don't really expect Catherine and those guys to hold us down. If anything the babies will slow us down before they do, I've got plenty of time; you on the other hand won't be going anywhere in two months."
"True," she sighed. "That's a tight deadline."
"You're not still trying to go after Dorothy are you?" Faye asked raising an eyebrow. A mischievous smile flittered across her face. "Whatever it is, I am in."
"This is the only way to keep an eye on you," Catherine called through a baby monitor. "Don't worry once I finish making lunch, I come back upstairs."

"You're not still trying to go after Dorothy are you?" Faye asked raising an eyebrow. A mischievous smile flittered across her face. "Whatever it is, I am in."
“Ed's still coming up with the plan,” she sat on the floor innocently rubbing her swollen abdomen. She was getting bigger each day it would not be long before she could not hide that fact she was pregnant. Life was going to be boring…at least until the baby was born.
Catherine opened the door. A brown eyebrow rose as she placed the tray on the desk. “I am going to have to be more inventive.”
“It was a nice try,” Faye complimented as she went over to the tray and picked up a sandwich. She looked it over carefully then took a bite. “Don't be so hard on yourself. They haven't built a cage that can hold me.”
“I can see why you and Quatre get along so well, you're polar opposites,” Catherine smiled shaking her head. She looked towards Ed. “So what's your story?”
Ed smiled while eating her sandwich. “Still working on it.”
“I am glad Quatre and Trowa wanted me to come here…”
Faye titled her head curiously at a piece of paper poking out of Catherine's coat pocket. A knowing smile crossed her face as she recognized it. The purple tipped paper looked just like the same kind of paper that the company who made the pregnancy test used. “Ed has a plan to get Dorothy,” she blurted out.
A murderous look passed over Ed's features. “Faye-Faye,” she hissed.
“Absolutely not,” Catherine began. “She will kill you if she has the chance. I won't allow it.”
“She won't have the chance, we'll be there backing her up,” Faye replied. She leaned her head against the wall as she started to chuckle. “This is too funny. If it weren't me…” she burst into a fit of laughter.
Ed watched Faye with an amused expression then started to laugh as well. “What are you laughing for?” Catherine asked. Ed shook her head and started rolling on the floor like a metronome. The older woman was utterly confused.
“Ah,” Faye sighed as she came out of her fit of laughter slowly. “I just had a funny picture in my head of us, with Dorothy's head on the wall and the three of us posing like that stupid girl detective show that Duo always watches with swollen bellies.”
A crimson flush brushed Catherine's features. “Cathy-cake, you're going to be a momma?” Ed asked sitting up.
“Yep, Duo's bun is in her oven,” Faye said casually. “The pregnancy test directions are in her pocket. I guess we're all prisoners now.”
Violet eyes widened at the possibility. Faye had a valid point, once the others found out someone would be placed on her detail. There was no way she was going to followed around like she was two years old. “Fine, I am in, but I am only doing this to make sure you two stay out of trouble.”
“Who? Us?” Faye asked innocently. “I don't know what you mean, Miss Knife Thrower.”
“You know perfectly well…”
The sound of the vid phone disrupted Ed's attention from their conversation. Another secure call? Something must be wrong. “Sunny, here.”
“Well if it isn't little Miss Sunshine,” Dorothy drawled in a baby voice. “Is your Mommy and Daddy home? Or are all by yourself?”
“What do you want?” Sunny snapped.
“Well that's not polite, Miss Sunshine.” Dorothy laughed at the glare that the red head gave her. “My my, you have spent entirely too much time with Trowa.”
“I'm hanging up.”
“I have something of yours,” Dorothy replied. “I thought it might make a nice shower gift for the baby.” The blonde's smile grew as her enemy's countenance darkened. “Seriousness doesn't suit you dear.”
Sunshine fought to keep a cool demeanor. She could not afford for Dorothy to know how rattled she was. This was a trap and if she did not play it right she would be killed. “What do you have of mine?”
“Just a cute little dolly for the baby that I found,” she answered before stepping aside to reveal a woman bound to a chair, “her name's Sylvia and she's all ready to play.”
