Getting answers

MJ decided to get concrete answers to the most serious question she had: Was she pregnant? She left Central Park and hailed a cab, hoping she could get in with her doctor as soon as possible. Luckily enough her OBGYN had a cancellation and was willing to get her looked at.

After getting undressed, she laid down on the table and waited for her doctor.

"As the door opened, her nice doc spoke up, "So... Ms.Watson... supermodel... wow... I must say, I have seen all the magazine covers. It must be so amazing."

MJ was flattered, "Oh thanks... I appreciate it."

Her doctor continued on, "Yeah. I must admit you are probably the most famous face I have at this practice. It's quite the honor to be looking after you.... So, Mary Jane what can we do for you today?"

MJ was tentative, but finally was able to speak up, "Well... I need to know... if ummm... if I am... ummmm... pregnant."

The doctor smiled wide, "Well you could've taken any number of over-the-counter tests for that."

MJ just smiled, "Yeah. I needed to know for sure."

The determination on Mary Jane's face just prompted the doctor to nod her head.

"Absolutely Mary Jane... We'll get this all figured out right away."

After about 30 minutes and a cup of pee later, the doctor came back into the room. Mary Jane was dressed and visibly nervous. Her leg wouldn't stop bouncing and her hands were super sweaty. She was surrounded by internal pictures of woman's bodies, vaginas, birth canals, etc... Staring at those walls did nothing to make her feel at ease. Holding her coat and purse she waited for the news.

The doctor spoke first.

"Well.... congratulations! It looks like you're about to be a new mommy!"

She handed MJ the official papers confirming the pregnancy.

Mary Jane feigned a smile. She took a deep breath and just nodded her head, "Thank you so much Dr. Carter. I appreciate letting me know. Thank you again."

Before the doctor could say anything else, Mary Jane quickly left the examining room and exited the medical building.

She felt like she couldn't breathe. She always wanted to get pregnant, but now that she was... she didn't know. She had more questions than answers. They were all running in her mind at a thousand miles an hour.

*When did this happen?*

*How?*

*Is this Peter's baby?*

*Is this Nick's baby?*

*If it's Peter's baby... will something bad happen to her? To the baby?*

*If it's Nick's baby, how will she tell Peter?*

*What would Nick do?*

*What about her modelling? Is that over now?*

She was getting overwhelmed and she needed to just sit down. She found a bus stop bench and slumped down. She was breathing quickly, almost to the point of a full panic attack.

She needed to call someone, anyone who could help. Staring at her cellphone she debated her contact choice but finally made a decision and pressed 'Send' on the call button.

"MJ baby! What can I do for you my gorgeous star?"

"Nick... we need to talk," Mary Jane said as she sounded extremely serious.

**************************************************************************************************

One limo ride later and Mary Jane was inside of Katzenberg's luxury loft apartment on the 'better' side of town. After hanging her coat up and putting her purse down, she was escorted into the living area by a bathrobed Katzenberg.

"Hey baby... what's going on? you know you can tell ol' Nicky anything," he started out.

Mary Jane was leaning forward on her knees, her hands tightly holding her pregnancy confirmation papers. She wasn't ready to speak yet... but was working up the courage to do so.

Katzenberg poured himself and MJ drinks at the bar, and walked them over to her.

"Here, take a drink baby... this will help calm you down. What's up... did something happen between you an' Petey?"

Mary Jane looked up at Katzenberg and pushed the drink away.

"I can't drink Nick..." she started out. Handing him the paperwork she finished her message, "I'm pregnant."

Nick unfolded the paperwork and stared at the medical mumbo jumbo. A lot of it not making any sense to the average layperson. Things like blood oxygen levels, cell count, etc... but what he did see made him smile: Pregnancy Confirmed.

After what seemed to be a minute of nick Katzenberg staring at the paper. Mary Jane chimed up, "Well!?"

Nick just jumped up and yelled, "YA-HOOOOOOO!" his naked body visible as the robe became untied.

He immediately went down to his knees, holding MJ's hands in his.

"Oh baby! This is the best news ever! Can you believe it... You're having my baby!"

She was genuinely surprised. Mary Jane did not expect that response to come from Katzenberg. He was a greasy low-life scumbag... someone who would be crass and rude and horny and gross... but here he was excited about being a dad.

On the one hand, she should've expected this reaction. If Katzenberg was the exact opposite of Parker... it made sense that he would be excited about this, that he would be supportive of this, that he would love MJ for this.

Peter always avoided kids, the talk, etc.. She knew it was a topic that would get shut down. Maybe it was because he didn't have parents growing up. Maybe it was because of the Spider-Man thing. Maybe it was a combination of those things.

*It's probably because he is a kid* she thought jokingly.

But Katzenberg was happy, and that made her happy.

He kissed her hand, squeezed it, then kissed her lips.

"Hold on there, Nicky... We don't even know if this baby is yours... It could be Peter's as well. You never know," she tempered his expectations.

But Katzenberg had seen something that MJ didn't... something in the paperwork that she had missed. He opened the paper to her and pointed out the conception date. It coincided with their time together... the time when she had left Peter... those months where she was not having sex with Peter at all.

"It's mine... yours and mine baby," Katzenberg said as he lifted her face off the page and kissed her lips.

As she felt Nick Katzenberg at her lips, her hands still held by his, perhaps she had more answers to her questions than just "Am I pregnant?"

Maybe she had the answer to a lot of those questions holding her hand.

"This is your home now baby."

Mary Jane opened her phone and texted her husband.

**Staying at a friend's**

She then continued to put her phone on silent.
