Hey guys! this is the second jetsy story on this account however it is the first one written by me! (exciting right?!) I have little experience writing so I appreciate all comments and criticism! This story was adapted from an RP that I wrote with a friend so it is a little fast and unpredictable at times. thank you for choosing to read this story and I hope you can appreciate it for what it is as I am defiantly not a talented writer by any means! the time frame is probably completely off but I didn't know when exactly certain things happened so I just made it up.

I don't own the show or its characters.

She tugged at his hair, fingers curling in his short, bronze, locks. Her mouth formed an O shape as his gently sucked and nibbled on her collarbone. She let her eyes close as his once soft thrusts became stronger and faster. Their alcohol fuelled sex became an intense session of pure love making as they sobered up. They both sat upright, her sitting mostly on his lap bouncing almost playfully. She could hear him grunting as he peppered kisses across her neck and chest. Small gasps got caught in her throat and she knew she was close to-

"Betsy!"

Her head immediately rose from the desk as Michael called her name. "I'm awake!" She calls back.

"Gosh Betsy..." He chuckles slightly. "Been keeping you up at night again? That's the second time you've fallen asleep at your desk."

"Like you wouldn't believe Mike... It's difficult but hopefully this stage will be over soon." She remarks sadly

"Hey Beth! I'm gonna need that file on my desk at about 2:30? Thanks darlin'" Piper Cooper asks politely in her thick southern accent.

"Yeah sure I'll get it too you." She smiles.

"Ya'know... You really should correct people when they get your name wrong." Mike chuckles as piper walks back to her office. It was true, she'd been working here for little over a year and the only two people who didn't get her name wrong were Mike and the cleaning lady Mrs Morrison. After leaving Schulman's she'd needed the money and took the only reception job she could find. On her first day when she introduced herself as 'Betsy', everyone thought she had said 'Beth'. She just didn't have the heart to correct anyone. The job was easy, the pay was nice and the hours were short. Yet she still longed to go back to Schulman's. Michael had tried to convince her to go back on many occasions. Not just because she wanted to, but because it was simply safer for her there.

"There's no point, besides I don't mind." Betsy shrugs and pushes her hair behind her ear.

"Gods Betsy what the fuck happened last night?!" Michael whispers loudly. Moving closer to inspect her cheek. She brushes her finger tips over the red and blue lump on her cheekbone and sighs. She remembered exactly what happened last night.

"Carl came over, insisted that we got back together, he got mad when I said I didn't want to..."She shrugs, her hair falling into her face again. Mikes eyes catch the clock and he sighs.

"We're gonna talk about this later Betsy. But right now you need to show that doctor into the staff room, she'll be here in a minute..." He trails off, eyes scanning the office for the woman.

As if on cue, none other than Mindy Lahiri struts through the door, clad in a pink dress and white heals. holding her protruding stomach with one hand and a latte in the other. Betsy stands from her seat and straightens her red-polka-dotted White shirt and black skirt. She walks quickly over to the older woman. "Dr. Lahiri! It's nice to see you again!" She says happily, keeping their reunion casual yet professional.

"Betsy! Oh my God! How are you? What have you been up too?" Mindy exclaims excitedly, wrapping an arm around her former receptionist.

"I've been good, Ya'know just keeping busy I guess. How are you?" She answers, smiling happily.

Mindy runs a had over he protruding abdomen and chuckles. "This ones had me feeling sick lately!" She laughs and smiles proudly.

"Boy, I do not miss that part-!" Betsy instantly throws a hand over her mouth, realising what she had said and hoping Mindy didn't catch on.

Mindy's eyes bulge out of her head as she pieces together the little fact that Betsy has let slip. "Betsy are you-?" She begins as her eyes dart to the girls flat stomach. Shaking her head in disbelief. "No- do you have a baby?!" She almost yells causing a couple heads to turn.

Looking around apologetically, Betsy sighs. "Yes, I do. I-"

"We are going to talk about this oh my God! this is great! My first Mommy friend!" Mindy babbles excitedly. "C'mon we can talk about this over lunch!"

"But what about your meeting with Dr. Cooper?"

"Dr. Cooper can wait until tomorrow! I'll text her that she has to talk to Danny or Jeremy first this is way more important!"

Betsy looks around the room in a panic. Spending time with an old friend would be nice but the thought of finally talking to someone who would understand was really overwhelming. Finally she laid he eyes on Michael, standing there with her coat and bag in his arms and sternly nodding his head. She takes them from his hands, mouths a 'thank you' then links arms with her former boss as they leave the building.

Upon arriving at a small coffee shop they each grab a slice of caramel coffee cake and sit down at the back of the room.

"So..." Mindy prompts curiously. Betsy pulls out her phone and finds her photo album, selecting one under the red heart emoji. She hands the phone to Mindy who immediately starts scrolling through many pictures of the baby girl. Mindy smiles and gushes over the slightly tanned baby with big brown eyes and bronze hair. "She's beautiful, Betsy!" Mindy gushes, her eyes locked on the screen. She stops scrolling however as her eyes fall onto a picture of Betsy and Michael holding the baby to his chest."who's this guy? Is he her dad?" She asks curiously.

Betsy frowns instantly remembering what happened later that day, Betsy wipes away a tear as she try's to compose herself. "No, he's just my friend, and Violet's God father...".

"Oh gosh Betsy, Are you okay? Have I done something?" Mindy asks, concern etched into her soft features. Moving round to sit next to her rather than in front, she gives her a small one armed hug. "You know you can tell me anything, okay?"

At hearing her former bosses kind words Betsy decides she might as well tell her the truth. "It's just gotten kinda hard. I ran away because I was scared and Carl kept pushing things to go further and I didn't want to because I was pregnant but he told me that I like it better if I just lay there and take it, but it hurt so bad and he was so rough I almost lost her! Then I told him I was pregnant and he completely lost it! Then he..." Betsy gasps, letting air fill her lungs for what felt like the first time since she left.

A sad look fell over Mindy's face. "Then he what, Betsy?" She prompts rubbing her hand gently with her thumb.

"Then he tried to get me to have sex with him again and I just- I- I said no and ran away again. Michael let me stay with him for awhile... I just wish I would've done things differently Ya'know? It's so hard taking care of her on my own..."

"Wait, so... Carl isn't the father either?" Mindy asks confusedly.

"No- I-"

'Her breath caught in her throat as she stared down at the letter that suddenly felt very heavy in her hands. She had all but ripped it out of Morgan's hands as he tried to open it. Her hands fumbled through the envelope as she hurried to read it. She had nothing to worry about but she had always been anxious about blood tests, getting one every 6 months to ensure she was in perfect health. She had had one a few days prior and as she held the test results in her hands, she felt her heart sink into her stomach. There it was, mocking her. She was pregnant. She wiped her tears as her eyes scanned the office. Mindy and Danny were arguing in the corner, Morgan was trying to flirt with Tamara and Jeremy was walking a woman out of his office. She couldn't stay here. She knew she couldn't handle him rejecting her now. She loved him. She had fell in love with him that night, and she was sure he loved her too. 'He told me plenty of times that night, but it was probably the wine talking...' She thought bitterly. Her eyes darted towards the clock, her shift was almost over. Running a hand over her soon to be protruding abdomen she stood from her desk and went in search of the filing cabinet. Pulling out the form, she returns to her desk and fills out her 'two weeks notice'. With a tear in her eye she looks for Mindy. Noticing that she and Danny had locked themselves inside of her office, she spots Jeremy walking back to his office with a cup of coffee. Making up her mind she stands up, resignation in hand, and marches purposefully to his office.

"Je- Dr. Reed." She clears her throat. "My resignation..." She hands him the neatly folded paper.

"Betsy is this about... Why?" He stutters.

"Personal reasons is all... I should go, pack up my things..." She tries to smile and turns to leave.

"Betsy wait! I'll... I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too Dr. Reed..." She sighs and leaves the room.

She grabs her bag from her desk, fixing her coat around her she walks out into the rain, 5 minutes after her shift ended. She stayed at the practice for 2 weeks after that day, avoiding talking to anyone and searching for an apartment somewhere outside of NewYork. She couldn't return home that's for sure. An unwed mother in her Christian family wouldn't go down well. Maybe she could tell her mother, surly she wouldn't hate her, her dad on the other hand, would take some convincing.'

"Her father is... Not important. So you and Danny huh?" Betsy changes the subject hastily.

"Oh no! You are not going to tease me like that! C'mon I need details!" Mindy demands almost desperately.

"It was a- uh... One night, kinda, thing?" Betsy answers unsurely.

"A one night stand? C'mon Betsy we both know that's not your thing! Were you dating this guy? Did you really like him?" She inquires, excitedly prodding the girl for information on her love life.

Betsy sighs, she might as well talk about it, he's been on her mind since the day she left. "I hadn't really thought of him in a romantic way before that night. I mean, I always thought he was attractive I just... I always thought that I wasn't his type Ya'know? But then at the party, you convinced me to have a glass of wine, and we got talking and one thing led to another... It just got so... Intense? A lot of things were said and I know he didn't mean them." Betsy shrugs, recounting the events that changed her life.

"Well... As Mindy Lahiri: Doctor of love always says, 'communication is key'. Like literally all of my clients, that have taken my advice, end up in serious-long-time relationships. So I think that one: you need to tell him how you feel, and two: YOU NEED TO TELL HIM HE HAS A CHILD!" Mindy all but yells, looking at Betsy as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"I can't tell him!" She yells back

"And why is that?" Mindy asks, raising her eyebrows.

"Because I could barely handle him rejecting me and if he rejects her... I'd be heart broken..." She trails off sadly.

"Where's your apartment?" Mindy asks suddenly.

Betsy raises an eyebrow. "A couple blocks from here but I'm staying with Michael while the neighbours move out, they're pretty loud... Why'd you ask?"

"Because you and I are having a girls night! C'mon you and Violet could stay at the hotel with us! It'd be fun we can have some mommy time!"Mindy pleads.

"Okay that actually sounds like fun... I've gotta pick Violet up from Michael's in like 30 minutes though..."

"Well it's getting late so we could always just start our girls night early?"

"Okay yeah, this will be fun, I need a good distraction after practically spilling my heart out to you. Sorry about that by the way..." Betsy says shyly.

"It's fine Betsy! Honestly if I have a problem with anything you say I will tell you! So, shall we catch a cab?"

"No need, my cars parked in the practice lot." Betsy explains, fishing her keys out of her purse.

"You have a car?" Mindy asks in disbelief.

"Well I'm a single mom in LA... I kinda had to buy one." She reasons.

Mindy simply nods and the two made there way to Betsy's small yet fashionable black car.

The drive to Michaels was short and filled with idle chatter about what they had been up to in the last year.

Pulling up outside a small two story home, Betsy walks to the door and unlocks it.

"Hello?" She calls.

"In the living room!" Dave, Michaels boyfriend, calls back.

Betsy walks quickly down the long hallway to the small living room in which Dave and her daughter were seated. Betsy immediately pulls the baby up from the couch and into her arms. Closing her eyes she inhales the child's soft scent and sighs.

"I take it you missed her today?" Dave asks chuckling.

"More than anything!" She sighs.

This chapter is a little longer than the others I think but I hoped you enjoyed it nonetheless!
