Prologue

Lexie was pacing back and forth. She tried to sit down and get calm but at soon as she tried she jumped again. This couldn't be happening to her, they were always cautious and besides it was all about sex, she was sure they didn't have feelings for each other. No, it was all in her mind. It just the flu she thought. But the again she was a doctor; she knew exactly how the body worked. And she knew she was late, just a few days late but still she was very regular since she was a teen.

She couldn't be, no, she told herself. She couldn't even bear to think the word. But the hardest part was that if she turned up, she was alone in this, she was going to be all alone.

She needed to know if she indeed was, so she went to buy a test. She stopped at the drug store and picked up three different pregnancy tests. She paid for them and left to her house, she was getting anxious about the whole thing and needed to know no if she was or not.

She opened all the tests and headed to the bathroom. Lexie stood in there waiting for the results. She didn't know how long stood there looking at the counter without actually seeing anything. There were tears running down her face. She knew a baby wasn't a bad thing but her situation wasn't ideal. After a few minutes finally saw the results, they all were the same, a pink plus line staring back at her. Lexie sat on the bathroom floor trying to let the information sink in. She didn't know if she was crying tears of joy or sorrow. She didn't know what this meant for her and Alex, would he be a part of this? Would he be upset? She couldn't even think what his reaction was gonna be. She knew Alex was a good man but they weren't soulmates or anything like that and thought that he might not wanted to be tied to her and a baby for the next eighteen years.

Anyway, she had to tell him and soon so she could stop worrying herself and figure out what they were going to do about it. Well she knew was going to keep the kid but needed to find out if Alex was going to ever be a part of raising the child. And like the say, there's no time like the present Alex had the right to know about the baby and she was going to tell him now.

Lexie finally got the nerve to tell him. She went to the porch where Alex was sitting. Her emotions were still a mess but she needed to get herself together and just tell him.

"Alex, I… uh we need to talk" That's the only thing she could say.

"About?" Alex asked her but she didn't replied. "Okay, spill it out already" he demanded and she went to sat beside him.

"I'm pregnant" Alex stared at her, he kind of looked scared.

"Are you gonna say something? I mean I know this wasn't planned and you and I are obviously not in love but I'm keeping I thought you should know. I know is a big responsibility and I'm an intern but I'm going to have this baby with or without your help" She said standing up and starting to walk away

"No" Alex finally said trying to reach Lexie "I mean, that's not the way I planned having a kid, but we can do the co-parenting thing, I want to be for that baby. We are in this together. Okay?"

They were going to do this, have a baby and try to raise it together and for that moment that was all that mattered to her, she wasn't going to do it alone.
