She was pregnant.

All week, Sonya had had her suspiciouns, but it only became real when she got the results from the test.  Even then, it all felt surreal. She had been wondering about the possiblity of becoming a parent, and had agreed with Hanzo to just let it happen, but she wasn't sure how she felt about it now, only that the giddiness from the news was still making her grin like an idiot.

She'd asked Helinski if she could borrow the file. She had to tell Hanzo, and while he knew her well enough to not believe she'd bullshit about such a serious issue, but she also felt it was seem more 'real' if she gave him the papers to prove it.

Sonya also just wanted to see his expression. Since their 'trip home', Hanzo was convinced that his human form was only 'for show', that he may've not even been able to father a child. Well, those fears were unfounded.

It was a good thing that Max was with her. It made tracking the former ninja much easier, and while nerves had Sonya feeling energtic, the fatigue that was plaguing her for weeks was still present-and Sonya wasn't sure if she had the spare energy to hunt him down.

She eventually found him by the hut, working on repairing a chair. Before getting any closer, Sonya just barely managed to school her emotions, keeping her face fairly neutral as she stepped up with the folder containing the results of the test.

Sonya laughed.

"It's just a job position that requires you to be able to keep the peace. All you need to do is look tall, imposing and be able to glare at people-all of which you already qualify for." She nudged him, remembering how Harry's nickname for her than boyfriend was 'tall, dark, and scary.

"Anyway, the boss has been here long enough to know these things happen. She should understand." She looked at him a moment. "And this is only temporary..until the kid's born anyway."

Because even Sonya had to admit-a pregnant bouncer gave an even worse impression than an exhausted one.

"Of course," Hanzo agreed. He wasn't really interested in the job permanently.

"You're looking tired. How about some rest now? Can I get you anything?"

He figured if he was going to take care of her, he might as well start now.

"Look tired, feel dead on my feet." She answered honestly. "A nap doesn't sound too bad actually."

As with most things, when Sonya finally admitted it, the fatigue hit her full force.

"No, but I've something you could do." She held up the folder. "Mind returning this to the clinic? Was only permitted to borrow it to show you I wasn't bullshitting."

Not that it was in her nature to bullshit, but Sonya didn't even have the energy to argue or verbally prove anything.

"Consider it done. Just make sure you don't push yourself as hard as you normally do. You'll wear out the baby before it's even born."

Just then, Hanzo remembered an image of his first wife smiling with a bulge in her stomach. He blinked, then returned his attention to Sonya.

"And I would have believed you. I know you would not tell me something like this unless you were sure."
