Chapter 44
"You're sure?"
Crichton looked at his daughter in stunned silence as she nodded in answer to his panicked question, searching his face for a clue to his thoughts.
However, there was no way his face could give witness to the myriad of thoughts that cascaded through his mind.
'She's pregnant!'
'What do I say?'
'How long?'
'OH MY FUCKING GOD! I'm going to be a father'
'What the fuck are we going to do if we can't get off this island?'
'Jesus! Nadia... does she know already... how will she take it?'
'What do we do when we do get off the island?'
"Will she want to keep it or get an abortion... if we have time?'
How do I ask that question without sounding like a complete bastard?'
'Jesus, she's had sex with Lance could it be his?'
'Don't be a mega-cunt, this is all your fault... fucking her bareback... knocking her up...!'
"Dad... Dad... say something."
Tanya's worried voice broke into his introspection and he shook his head to try to clear his mind. He stepped back from the embrace they had been sharing and shook his head again with a guilty expression on his face.
"Jesus! Sorry, Sweetie I'm just trying to get my mind around it. I guess it was those first few occasions once we got on the island as you said you were safe when we first made love on the boat. I'm sorry I should have been more responsible...
Tanya reached out to place a calming hand on his arm and smiled guiltily at him.
"Dad... You seemed to want to come inside me at every opportunity and... I loved you doing it, even knowing the risk. So it's not just your fault."
Crichton shook his head again.
"Even so, I still think I should have been more responsible. Anyway, I guess you haven't popped out to Boots The Chemist to get a tester so what makes you think you're pregnant and how long have you known... suspected?"
Tanya's reply did not disguise her own uncertainty over the diagnosis.
"I started to feel shit about 4 or 5 days ago and my boobs are tender. I've been moody... and I'm a week late with my period and 'The Painter' has always been very regular. I could explain a lot of it as being due to the stress of the voyage and the wreck and... you and I falling out."
"Oh, baby, come back here, I'm so sorry about that!"
He embraced her tightly again but then chuckled at her euphemism.
"The Painter? I've not heard that one before! Where does it come from?"
Tanya giggled against his chest.
"Some Aussie comic I heard... I forget who, talking about discussing having sex despite being on her period... she says
'The painters are decorating the front hall but you can enter via the back passage if you like'.
Since then it's been my pet phrase for having my period..."
Tanya paused and looked at her father who gave a big sigh shaking his head resignedly before pulling his daughter back into the tight embrace, kissing the top of her head.
"Oh baby girl, what are we going to do? I'm worried if you have any complications while we're on the island as our medical kit is pretty basic... we certainly don't have anything for delivering babies... actually that begs a question that I hardly dare ask..."
"I know what you were going to ask and my answer is and always will be... I'm going to keep it!"
The vehemence in Tanya's voice and look in her eye was enough for Crichton to realise that it was an argument that he was unlikely to win, if he wanted to have it in the first place. He chuckled and smiled tenderly.
"You are so much like your mother! You probably don't know but we were planning on having children... that was partly why I was giving up deep-sea work... to be around more when... you know... it happened..."
Crichton sighed heavily at the memory of Maddie's untimely death and Tanya reached out to give him a hug while he continued.
"Anyway, I have no idea how to put a nappy on but I'm sure I'll learn quickly enough... apparently you have to watch out for the
poo tsunami
according to the adverts but my son will be very well behaved and not do anything like that."
The laughter was evident in Tanya's voice as she buried her head into her father's broad chest as her arms tightened around him.
"A
poo tsunami
! Is there a
pee waterspout
or a
fart cyclone
as wellβ? Maybe a
