June 2nd 1992

Tiffany awoke to the sound of bells. The ringing doorbell. She glanced over at the clock on the night stand. 2am. After glancing to Sean's side of the bed and after finding it empty she got up, grabbed her robe and headed for the door thinking that Sean had locked himself out again. He had been working nonstop on a top secret case for days now. Tiffany quickly made her way to the front door, only stumbling a few times along the way as she fought to fully wake up.

She unlocked the front door and opened it only to find a drenched and crying Holly on the other side. "Holly." she breathed. "Honey, get in here." she said softly as she pulled her inside and closed the door behind her. Tiffany slipped her robe off and wrapped it around Holly's shoulders. "What's wrong?"

Holly stood numbly, blinking away tears as she looked at Tiffany. "Everything." she said softly.

Tiffany took her hand and lead her over to the sofa. "Tell me what's going on. You're a disaster."

"Thanks." she replied softly.

She wrapped her arms around Holly. "Come on, you can tell me anything."

Holly rested her head against Tiffany's shoulder. "Do you remember when Robert came back in April?"

"Yes." she answered. "Right after the boat accident with Anna and Faison."

"Robert was devastated that he didn't save Anna. He blamed himself for the entire thing and was so guilt ridden because Robin would have to grow up without a mother." she explained. "I ran into him on the pier about a week after he came back. I wanted so badly to comfort him, to tell him that everything was going to be alright but he was a walking disaster and he insisted that all he needed was a glass of scotch. So I left him on the pier and I went home. I had a few too many glasses of wine, trying to erase the image of Robert, alone and grieving from my mind. I was almost there when the doorbell rang and I found a drunken Robert standing on the other side of the door."

"Oh, honey." Tiffany whispered as she gently stroked Holly's hair. "You didn't?"

Tears fell rapidly down Holly's pale face as she started sobbing uncontrollably. "We didn't mean for it to happen." she cried.

Tiffany wrapped her arms around her even tighter. "Well it happened." she said softly. "When did you find out?"

"This afternoon." she answered. "What am I going to do, Tiffany?"

"You're going to have a baby." she said simply. "Robert's baby."
