Colonoscopy

"Where are we rushing to?" he says laughing.

"I just have to be somewhere." I say quicken my pace. Owen catches up and we head to the car. We drop of Charlie. "You're going with Owen?" he asks looking a bit hurt.

"She's actually taking me for my appointment," says Owen with his hands up.

"What appointment?" questions Charlie. 

"My.. eh colonoscopy," he says shyly and Charlie goes blank. 

"Oh.."

"Yea we have to get going but Charlie maybe we can talk later?" I offer before starting my Camaro again. Owen and I drive off and pass by a baby shop. "Owen I really want to take her home," I say holding up a baby romper. "Well so do I!" he says looking at the strollers. 

"How about you as Uncle Owen?" I offer and he takes the deal. We shop around for a few more baby clothes when Owen says, "Dude we should totally ask Soyon to make a custom romper or dress or something for Julie!"

"I love it!" I say as we high five. I look at the trolley we've filled with stuff. "I think this is enough," I say admiring my work with Ow. "This is one lucky kid," says Owen pushing the trolley for me. It suddenly hits me that Tini is expecting as well and I decide to but matching outfits for the three of us. "You think it'll all fit?" says Owen pushing the trolley to the car. 

"I think so," we pack everything and decide to head to the hospital. "Hi I'm Rebecca Castillo and I'm here for the little baby we brought last night." I smile at the receptionist and her face lights up as she looks up at me. "Of course Miss Castillo, we are honoured to have you here. This way," she says escorting us. We peak into the room and find the nurse checking her vitals. "Hi there!" she smiles, clearly very happy to see us. She puts the happy baby into my arms after I sanitised my hands. "Wanna hold her?" I say giving the baby to Owen. He reluctantly holds the baby, looking very uncomfortable but soon relaxes and starts talking to her. "You still need to name her." smiles the nurse. "I really like Julie, after the show." says Owen still looking at the baby holding his finger and laughing. "Hi Baby Julie." 

"Excuse me, Nurse Amy," she turns around and smiles at me.

"We were wondering if maybe I could keep the baby, until you find parents who can take care of her?"

"You will need to sign some papers but of course. You've already won favour for rescuing her." she smiles. "I'm going to go sign the papers Joyner," he probably didn't hear me as he and Julie were obviously having a conversation. I followed the nurse to the front desk and signed all the necessary documents then I suddenly remembered the stuff in the car. "Give me a minute please?" I rush out and grab a cute little outfit, a pamper, socks and a light blanket. I walked in and watched Owen with the baby and took a picture. "I have the stuff," I say waving the pamper. "You are gonna change and dress her."

"Uh.. what!"

"You heard me."

"Uh..."

"Don't worry, I'll teach you." I pick up the baby and carry her o the changing table. "First you take your bundle of joy and place them on the table like this. Then you undress and open the pamper like this, then you take the wet wipes and wipe the bottom. Put the dirty wipes inside to the pamper and remove it, then you play Vaseline right here, gently though. Then we put the pamper on and there we go." I hold up the baby and she smiles and touches my face. "I like you too," I say covering her face in kisses. "Aw that's nice." smiles Owen. We hear a knock on the door and Amy walks in. "Hi there, you can leave now or when you're ready. We will contact you if parents come forward." she smiles and Owen and I head out. 

"I'll drive, you sit with the Julie at the back." I hand him my keys and slid into the car. "So when are we going to tell the guys?"

"How about tomorrow, we're all hanging at my place anyway." I smile and play with Julie. 

"Ohh."

"What's wrong?" I ask looking around. 

"Charlie's car,"

"Finish," Owen carries the car seat and I walk through the door. 

"And just where have you two been?" questions Charlie with a glass of beer in hand. 

"Are you drunk?" I ask confused.

"The hospital and then it hits me. Shoot Owen!" I scream.

"What ?" he yells from outside.

"The puppy!" I yell.

"Oh fuck the puppy Bec!" he squeals.

"What puppy?" questions Charlie.

"I uh have to go and Owen has to come too." I say rushing out. "I promise I'll explain." We race to the veterinary surgery and the guy at front desk immediately recognises me. "Miss Castillo! Welcome, I assume you're here for the puppy?"

"Yes, how is the little guy?"

"Better than ever! He's actually been adopted."

"Really?" I say in disbelief. He points the the couple with their daughter holding a large puppy and I smile. "Tell them to keep bringing the puppy here or treatment, it's on me for the next few years." I smile but I mention to him not to tell them. I walk back to the car with a smile, one of them has a happy family. Owen and I drive back with Julie sound asleep. "You ok?" asks Owen and I look at him s we come to a red light. "Yea I'm fine, why?"

"You like Charlie don't you?"

"What?" I say trying to play it cool. "Well maybe just a little bit," I give in. 

"So why don't you assholes get together!" I hit him at the language and the volume and we both turn around to check if he woke up the baby. "Frick, sorry." he says removing his hands from his mouth. I just laugh at him and we get to my house, Charlie still there. I get the baby out carefully and Owen has a few stuff from the baby store. I open the door and find Charlie watching a movie. I take a deep breathe, with Owen standing next to me. "Is anyone gonna tell me what's going on?" he asks looking a little hurt. 

"Well Becky and I..." starts Owen. "We sorta had a baby."

"Owen Patrick Joyner!" I shout and I accidentally wake the baby. "Ouu I'm sorry, shhh I'm here." I say bouncing her. "So this is baby Joyner?"

"No. Owen and I found her in the bushes so I'm taking care of her. " I smile at the bundle in my arms. "I'll give you two some privacy. Let's go Julie." he coos at the baby and head upstairs. 

"What are you doing here anyways?" I ask removing the scrunchie I had on. 

" I know you're avoiding me."

"Really? I had no idea." I say kind of sarcastically. 

"Bec, I just came to apologise to you. I love having you around. When you smile I feel so happy and when you sing I feel so much at peace. I hate knowing I'm the one who caused you pain. You've had so much taken away from you, been hurt too many times. The idea that I wouldn't see you as much after filming kills me. Since day one you imprinted on my heart and I don't think I can let that go. I really, really like you Rebecca, maybe even love."

"What? What did you say?" I say not believing the declaration of love. He steps closer to me and grabs both of my hands. "I think I love you Becky." he smiles staring down at me. 

"You think?" I tease him.

"I know." he says not breaking eye contact.

"Becky?" I hum in response. "If it's k with you,"

"Yea..."

"May I ?" he says looking at me then my lips and because your home girl is so hypnotised I stand on my tip toes and kiss him right there.

"Damnnnnn." We look and see Owen leaning on the banister looking amused. "Finally, my ship is sailing!" he chants triumphantly and dabs, making us laugh.
