She shook as she knocked on Lanna's door, hot tears dripping down her face. Alas, much to her appreciation, Lanna was there, and the door was unlocked.

As she stepped in, she walked around the corner to where Lanna was standing by her collection of fishing rods.

The moment after Lanna saw Jen; her eyes flew wide, "Jennie, what's wrong?" She asked, immediately, stepping quickly to meet her best female companion.

"I just had the best sex of my life." Was Jen's response, followed by a broken sob. Lanna's brow furrowed in confusion, "What's the problem then?" Questioning, she didn't fully understand yet.

The next words out of Jen's mouth caused her to break down into more sobs, "With the man I'm not married to."

Lanna gasped, and helped her friend walk to the kitchen table, and sat down next to her. "With who, dear?" She asked, a look of softness on her face.

"The bo- man from the jungle, Shea." Jen replied, "We were friends, and before I got engaged to Vaughn, it was between them. He still had… has feelings for me, and I just… Lost my mind, temporarily…" She had a guilty look on her face, and she was staring out blankly into space.

Lanna leaned in, "What are you going to do?" Was her next question, "And more, did you use protection."

That brought an absolutely terrified look to Jen's face. More choking sobs, on a larger scale, before a completely devastated, "No…" That just wrenched Lanna's heart. "Oh honey… I don't think—Are you on the pill?" She asked, more urgently.

Shaking her head, Jen replied, "No, Vaughn and I were hoping for a child. What… What if I do have Shea's child?! What if Vaughn finds out!? What will I do?!" She asked, wildly, panicking.

"First, you need to calm down. We will sort this entire out." Lanna replied, more calmly.

Taking a deep breath, Jen sat up in her seat and faced Lanna. "Alright…" She responded, taking another deep breath, I'm alright."

Nodding, Lanna continued, "Okay. First, are you going to tell Vaughn?" Jen shrugged, "I… I don't know. He has such a temper, sometimes. But… I… I still love him. And… I don't want to leave him… But, it'd break his heart." Jen was doing everything she could to hold together in this situation.

"More importantly, what's best?" Lanna was very wise in matters such as dating and relationships, especially with things like this, that's why Jen was so quick to listen and abide her advice.

"I… I think the worst would be if he found out, when-- If Shea's child that's born… He'd… I think he'd leave. And never come back. Ever." She sucked in another deep breath. "But, I don't know right now if I could deal… with his anger." She whimpered.

Lanna sighed and shook her head, "I'm so sorry this had to happen to you. But, the best way to deal with this, after you tell Vaughn, is not to see Shea again. Ever. But I know that that will be painful for you. But it's the only way."

"What will happen, when I tell him…?" Jen asked quietly.

"Well, a lot of things. First, he could tell you something you never knew, he could forgive you, or… I… I don't think I'm going to tell about the… other… things he could do…" Lanna grimaced; she didn't want her or her best friend to think about those things.

Glancing at the clock, Lanna looked back at Jen. "You best be getting home now, Jennie. If anything, being later will just raise suspicion, and most likely, you'd want to tell him before he… found out." She explained. "You have that teleport-stone thingy, don't you? Use it. Godspeed, friend." She said, while all but literally pushing Jen out the door.

As she said goodnight to Lanna, she sighed, and as the door closed, she turned and took her Teleport Stone out of her rucksack, holding the stone to the sky and waiting as it transported her to her ranch. Sooner, rather than later, she found herself face to face with the door to her house.

What happens next?
