Thirteen entered the doctor's lounge and was surprised to find it dark inside. She felt the wall for the light switch and flipped it on. She headed over to the counter but stopped at the sight of a blonde figure curled up against the back of the couch.
"Dr. Cameron?"
Cameron was sitting with her knees to her chest and her head down. It was obvious she had been crying from the sniffling sounds she made. 13 looked around the room, wondering how long Cameron had been there if she was the first to stumble upon her. She moved closer to her. "Dr. Cameron, what are you doing here? What's wrong?"
Cameron picked her head up slightly to wipe her nose on the back of her wrist. "Go away, Dr. Hadley."
13 considered for a moment doing as she was told and fleeing the scenario, but thought better of it. Mentally kicking herself for leaving her watch in here during her break, she sat down next to Cameron. "I thought you left Princeton again after the night we had the lockdown. Why are you here again, crying in the doctor's lounge in the dark?"
"It's none of your business," she snapped. "Just leave me alone."
13 looked toward the door, knowing this was her chance to escape. Sighing softly, she turned back towards Cameron. "I can't just leave you here like this."
Cameron sniffled.
"Is there something I can get for you? Should I go get Chase?"
At the sound of his name, Cameron put her head back down and began sobbing. 13 winced and shook her head, mentally slapping herself. "I'm sorry. Please don't cry."
She cautiously placed a hand on Cameron's shoulder. Cameron continued to sob and 13 looked back toward the door, wishing someone else would walk through and rescue her from the situation. Realizing no one probably would since most of the night shifters barely used this lounge, she turned to Cameron again. She gently patted her back and then ran her fingers through her hair. "It's alright. Shh. Don't cry. It's okay." She repeated the words, feeling like an idiot, wishing she knew better how to handle the situation.
Cameron's sobs eventually began to subside. 13 continued to stroke her back. "It's okay." Cameron lifted her head slightly so that she was no longer staring into her knees, but down at the floor in front of her.
13 stared at her. "What is it? What's the matter?"
Cameron gulped and whispered, "I'm pregnant."
