Title: Scandalous Rating: PG Length: 257 words Competitor: Owen Round/Fight: Final Summary: Owen receives a nasty surprise.
-----
“I just can’t believe this is happening.”
“Owen—”
“No, I mean in a good way. Well, sort of. It’ll break Margarry’s heart, which will break mine. But she can’t have children, and I think she may understand—”
“Listen, Owen—”
“—he or she can stay at Jesslaw, maybe, if she doesn’t mind. And, I mean, if you don’t mind. I guess girls don’t like to share babies, or something.”
“Owen, please, just—”
“And I don’t mean it has to stay with me the whole time, of course not! You’re its mama, Kel, and I trust you’ll make the best decisions for it. But since it’s mine, too, I just, you know I’d like to see it—”
“It’s not.”
“—I was thinking of naming her for my mother, if it’s a girl, but if it’s a boy we can—what?”
“It’s not yours.”
“I don’t understand. I thought you said you were pregnant.”
“I am.”
“But we—we’ve been—what are you saying, Kel?”
“I’m so sorry, Owen. I never meant for any of this to happen.”
“What, having another man’s child or having another man?”
“Please don’t hate me. I know you’re so angry, and I’ll understand if you never forgive me. I just—”
“Don’t. I don’t want to hear it.”
“Owen—”
“Just tell me this. Who’s the father?”
“I can’t tell you that. It’ll ruin him, and me.”
“Then I swear on all that used to be between us, I won’t breathe a word. But I have to know this.”
“Owen—”
“Tell me.”
“...Duke Gareth of Naxen.”

Poor Owen...
I love how you wrote Owen's over eagerness, and his heartbroken state. Lovely!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I know I should be heart-broken for Owen, but I can't. I'm just to happy with the end!
