Disclaimer: I don't own Beverly Hills 90210 or any of the characters on the show… this is just something that popped into my head one night... I think I was dreaming it but I'm not sure. Anyways enjoy the story and let me know what you think of it... because I am not even sure if it is going to be that good.

Cedar Sinai Medical Center

The sun was shinning down on Kelly as she stood outside the Hospital just staring up at the building. She wanted to talk to Andrea without any of the others there… especially Brandon… there was something she needed to tell her. Maybe it would make her feel better knowing that she really wasn't alone… and maybe it would break her heart more, but either way Kelly needed to get it off her chest and soon.

Her mind was racing as she watched the numbers on the elevator rise until they reached the floor she needed to be on. She had no idea why she felt so nervous… after all Andrea would most likely react positively to the secret she carried with her throughout high school and now into college. Sure Donna and David supported her as much as they could but Kelly needed someone who understood what she had been through and Andrea was just that person.

As she got to the door she heard voices on the other side… it was Jesse telling Andrea that it might be too soon to go and see the baby. That maybe she should wait because the baby had, had a ruff night but Andrea was relentless. Kelly decided that it was know or never so she knocked on the door before slowly walking in to the room.

"Is this a bad time… I can come back later." Kelly said looking from one to the other.

"No it's always a bad time but come on in." Andrea said giving Jesse a glare.

"I was hoping you and I could talk…" Kelly started giving Jesse a pleading look.

"I'll just be downstairs if you need me." Jesse said understanding that Kelly meant alone.

"Thanks Jesse!" Kelly said as she watched him leave before closing the door.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Andrea asked as she watched Kelly's face drop.

"I know what you're going through right know… I mean… not all of it, but I sort of know how you feel right know. You're worried about the baby and I just wanted to tell you I've been there." Kelly just watched Andrea's face for a reaction.

"I don't think you do…" Andrea said still trying to figure out what Kelly was trying to tell her.

Andrea just watched as Kelly's head turned to the door and then back to her before her eyes fell trying to find something interesting on the floor. She could tell that Kelly wanted to say something but was afraid to. She wanted to care… but for some reason all she could think about was her baby. Of course, at the same time that was all Kelly could seem to think about. Finally, both girls' eyes met and Andrea had a small grin creep across her face.

"Something's bugging you isn't it?" Andrea asked and Kelly nodded. "I have all the time in the world… come sit." She said patting the spot next to her on the bed.

"Where do I start…" Kelly said as she sat down.

"How about at the beginning." Andrea said trying to concentrate on her.

"Okay… um about five and a half years ago I was at this party and the guy I went with decided that he was going to have a few… only he had more than a few…" Kelly began as her eyes closed for a moment she could see that night clear as day.

Flashback to the Night of the Party

Kelly was sitting on one of the red couches in the downstairs den of the house the party was at. Her date was hanging out over by the Keg of beer. Kelly was talking with some other girls she hardly knew but it was something to do until Dan decided he had enough. As she talked her eyes kept wondering over to where Dan stood drinking with his buddies, and once she swore his eyes met hers. That was when he walked over to her and the other girls.

"Having fun?" Was all he asked.

"I would be having a lot more fun if Donna were here." Kelly told him but that just seemed to make him mad.

"So does this mean you wanna leave?" He asked grabbing her by the arm and pulling her up to meet him face to face.

"You're hurting me…" Kelly shouted in his face causing him to push her towards the stairs.

"You asked for it…" He said just loud enough so that she could hear him as he grabbed her by the arm and whispered in her ear. "If you make a scene I will hurt you…Got it?" he said gripping her wrist tighter.

"Yes." She said through clenched teeth quietly following him up the stairs.

Back in the Present…

"He raped you?" Andrea asked in total disbelief of what Kelly was telling her.

"Not exactly… when we got up to the room he pushed me on the bed… I wanted to scream no and tell him to stop but I just laid there. I couldn't do anything… I was scared… I knew what he could do to me… so I just took it. Afterwards, he just got up and left the room… he never spoke to me after that… he didn't even take me home… I had to call Donna to pick me up." Kelly's face was slightly pink as she felt that the room was getting warmer.

"Did you tell Donna what happened?" Andrea asked full of concern for her friend.

"I couldn't… Not at that time… I was too ashamed of what happened. A few weeks later I found out I was pregnant…" Kelly continued her story.

Flashback to Kelly's House

Kelly was sitting on her bed as her mother paced back and fourth trying to understand everything her daughter was telling her. She wanted to trust her daughter but how could she when things like this happened… granted she really wasn't any better because she did have a drug and alcohol problem. Kelly just wanted to leave… the silence was killing her, but it wouldn't be silent forever.

"I can't believe this Kelly… how could you be so stupid?" Jackie shouted stopping to glare at her daughter.

"I'm sorry… What do you want me to say? I'll do anything… please don't be mad…" Kelly cried as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Pack you're bags… you're going to spend some time with your Aunt Natalie… I expect you to be ready in an hour." Jackie said storming out of the room.

Back in the Present…

"I can't see you're mom doing that… she seemed so nice when I met her." Andrea said as Kelly shifted positions.

"That wasn't even the worst of it… when I got to my Aunt's she was even worse. For the next seven months we fought every day… mostly over the baby, and what would happen after it was born. I wanted to give it up… I just wanted to forget it ever happened. Not Aunt Natalie, she wanted me to keep the baby… as sort of a reminder of that night. Finally, two weeks before the baby was born we reached an agreement. Aunt Natalie said that she would keep the baby so that if I ever changed my mind I could still see it… I couldn't argue with that… I didn't have to see the baby if I didn't want to." Kelly said looking over at the door again.

"So what happened after you had the baby?" Andrea asked glancing at the clock.

"I changed my mind… I saw that cute little face on my baby girl and I just couldn't leave her. I named her Cassie Lynn and took her home, back to Beverly Hills. Jackie couldn't stay mad at us forever." Kelly said as she looked up from her hands.

"If you kept her then why haven't any of us met her?" Andrea asked as Kelly got up off the bed.

"Because I was still ashamed of what happened so I just told everyone I was just babysitting her for the neighbor. Donna and David were the only ones who knew the truth… and now you…" Kelly said waiting for a reaction.

"I'm sorry Kel… for what you went through, but I would love to meet Cassie sometime." Andrea said smiling at her friend.

"Well, I'll make you a deal… you take me to meet your little girl and I will bring Cassie by later." Kelly said taking Andrea's robe over to her.

"Deal!" Andrea said as Kelly helped her into the wheelchair.

Intensive Care Unit

Andrea and Kelly stood in front of one of the incubators and just watched the little baby girl inside. She was hooked up to so many machines it was heartbreaking to see her like that, but she was fighting, and that was all that mattered. Andrea smiled glad that her daughter seemed to be doing better than how Jesse had described it. Kelly just watched her breathe… remembering when she saw Cassie for the first time.

"She is so beautiful Andrea…" Kelly said as she glanced over at Andrea.

"I can't believe she's here… Jesse said she stopped breathing last night…" Andrea began.

"Well I guess she is just not ready to leave just yet… she's a fighter… just like you!" Kelly said as she put her hand on Andrea's shoulder.

"One of the many in here." Andrea said looking around at all the other babies on the unit.

"Hey you still haven't told me her name." Kelly said turning her head to face Andrea.

"We were thinking Hannah… It means hope." Andrea said not taking her eyes off of little Hannah.

"Hey Hannah… you hang in there… okay… I know of one little girl that can't wait to meet you." Kelly said talking in a soft voice to baby Hannah.

One of the nurses came over and told them that they had to take Hannah and run a few tests just to make sure everything was going the way is should be. Kelly and Andrea both nodded and Kelly pushed Andrea back to her room where they continued their conversation. Kelly had been wondering about Brandon… he was suppose to be in Washington but stayed behind when Andrea went into labor.

"Andrea… did Brandon ever catch his plane?" Kelly asked when they got to the room.

"Yeah he took the red eye last night why?" Andrea asked watching Kelly's face light up.

"No reason I was just wondering." Kelly said practically glowing.

"What happened on that retreat?" Andrea asked knowing that she had been his traveling buddy.

"Nothing really… we just kissed!" Kelly said smiling realizing that her relationship with Dylan was over.

"So what are you going to do?" Andrea asked knowing how Kelly felt.

"Nothing… at least not until I talk to Dylan." Kelly said noticing Jesse standing in the doorway. "In fact I think that is what I am going to do right now… I'll stop by later okay?" Kelly said giving Andrea a hug and walking towards the door.

Andrea just nodded, noticing Jesse as well. She couldn't wait to meet Cassie and in truth it made her feel a little better knowing that she wasn't the only one facing parenthood. Although she felt sorry for Kelly… she didn't ask for it to happen to her, but she wasn't complaining about it either. She just hid it from all the people that cared about her. Andrea was convinced that she was going to have to be the one to get her to tell everyone about Cassie Lynn Taylor.
