When Dylan finally came to he saw Steve's baffled face looking back down on him. Dylan quickly sat up and began to scan the room. Was it possible he had dreamed all of that? Then why had he fainted? It was clear that Dylan was ready to take the first train to denial.

"Whoa Buddy, take it easy," Steve cautioned as Dylan sat up, "we don't want you passing out again."

"Where's Kelly," Dylan asked looking over towards the kitchen not seeing her.

"I'm right here," She approached him from his right side.

"How could this have happened," Dylan cried with frustration.

"How could what have happened," Steve was still unaware of the problem Kelly and Dylan faced, but he intended on finding out.

"Steve this is very personal, could you give us a minute," Kelly sat down next to Dylan.

"Sure, but if you need me I'll be in David's room," Steve walked towards David's room shutting the door, knowing that he would still be able to hear everything.

"How long have you known," Dylan inquired.

"About a month, I didn't know how to tell you and this is going to shake up so much with Matt and Gina."

"Matt and Gina, who cares about Matt and Gina; Matt hid a wife from you."

"Well, what did Gina ever do to you that was so horrible," Kelly questioned.

"It's not what she does to me that's horrible, it's the way she treats everyone else."

"Then why date her?"

"Is that really the issue at hand, because I thought we were talking about your pregnancy," Dylan stood up and started pacing around the room.

"I'm keeping the baby Dylan, an abortion is out of the question."

"Who said anything about an abortion? I don't remember suggesting that," Dylan continued to pace around, the fear of fatherhood all around him.

"I know you didn't suggest it, but I don't want it to be brought up all. The fact is I don't even know if I can carry this baby to term. It's not easy for me to get pregnant and stay pregnant. I learned that with Brandon. However, if I can I'm going to, I won't lose a baby because it may not be the right time," Kelly stood up and approached Dylan, "I just need to know if you're going to step up or if once again you're going to run away."

"You come in here and drop this huge bombshell on me and you want me to answer you right away? Kelly you've had a month to think about this! You've had a month to think about what will happen when you tell Matt and what will happen to your whole life and how much it's going to change. What do I get, five minutes to have everything flash before me," Dylan looked at Kelly with disgust.

"I'm not saying you have to decide now, but you do have to decide. I'm telling Matt today and you I both know that it will leak out to Gina, so it might be best if you had this discussion with her as well."

Dylan sighed, he knew it was true. He knew he needed to tell her before Matt did, "Fine, I can tell her, I have no problem telling her, but I do need time."

"That's not a surprise," Kelly stated coldly before walking out the door.

Steve ran into his office later that day really fast. He had always been one to pry into other people's lives when he realized that he wasn't the only one to make stupid mistakes. Overhearing Kelly and Dylan's problem made him see that even the woman with high morals and the man with brutal honestly could do something deceiving and life altering in one night. He didn't want to share this news around, it wasn't his business to, but he wanted to talk about it, however neither one where in the mood to discuss it and both thought that Steve was clueless.

He found his girlfriend Janet sitting at her computer working on their next article for their tabloid "The Beverly Beat". Steve glided over to her to her desk and took a chair out making himself comfortable in it.

"Hello Steve," was all Janet said not taking her eyes off the computer screen.

"You will not believe what I just found out over at David's house," Steve said with a smile on his face.

"What," Janet looked up now with interest.

"I can't tell you," Steve got up from his chair and went over to his desk, "Oh but it is good!"

Janet gave him a weird look, she had accepted the fact that she would never entirely figure Steve out, "What does it have to do with?"

"Challenges, obstacles, and life altering details in our friend's lives."

"I take it that if you were at David's house it has to do with either David or Dylan."

"Precisely, but you never know...actually you will know in the span of two to six months...that would be my estimate anyway...no I take that back, Gina will probably blab the whole thing out, so I'm sure you'll know by tomorrow," Steve sat down and opened up his laptop.

"Well then it has to do with Dylan if it has to do with Gina," Janet looked back to her computer continuing to type pretending that the conversation was of no interest to her.

"Lucky guess, but what girl does it have to do with and what problem do they face, that you don't know, so I'm still not in trouble."

"I thought you said it was Gina," Janet was becoming even more confused.

"Well yes, but no. That's a whole separate issue that doesn't concern anyone."

"Then it has to be Kelly...wait a second...there's no way!"

"What? There's no way you could have pieced it together from only those limited clues," Steve jumped out of his chair and rushed over to Janet's desk.

Janet stood up and strolled around Steve, "No, no it makes sense. Dylan and Gina are having problems because of Kelly which means they must have done the wild thing, you said we probably wouldn't find out from between two to six months, mostly because if you're pregnant that eliminates you don't find out till the second to third month, which eliminates the first two to three months...oh my God!"

"Crap, I'm in trouble again," Steve sat down glumly.

"I won't tell anyone you told."

"I didn't tell, I gave off a few thoughts and you pieced it together," Steve shouted defensively.

"You shouldn't be giving off thoughts on something that private in the first place," Janet declared with a grin.

Kelly knocked on the door to Matt's law office; it was the floor up from where she worked. She had debated just going back into work and not bothering telling Matt and putting it off till another time, but she knew the sooner she got it over with the sooner she could move forward with her life. She knocked again waiting for an answer.

"Come on in Kel," she heard Matt's voice say.

Kelly walked in and tried to smile at Matt, "are you busy? If you're busy I can always come back."

"No, what's up?"

"Matt what I'm about to tell you is not easy to tell you. In fact it is more than likely going to end badly," Kelly forced herself to look straight into Matt's eyes, though she would have rather looked anywhere but his face.

"What is it," Matt was worried, he knew that he was not going to like what he was about to hear.

"I'm not going to drag this out, I'm just going to say it because dragging it out isn't going to cushion the blow, it's just going to leave you either stunned or even angrier."

"Kelly, what is it?"

"Matt when Dylan and I were in Mexico, we didn't just get your wife's medication; a lot of sparks came flying back..."

"Did you sleep with him," Matt interjected knowing where this was headed.

"Yes, Matt I slept with Dylan. It was a confusing time..."

"You did what," Gina shouted from behind Kelly. She had entered the office just as Kelly had said that, "did you just say what I think you said," Gina crossed over to where Matt was sitting standing directly in front of Kelly.

Kelly looked up at the ceiling, it would be hard enough telling Matt that she was pregnant, but she couldn't tell him with Gina in the room, but it looked like she had no choice, "In Mexico, I slept with Dylan. Matt was with his wife, I was left alone and confused and hurt. Dylan was there and I let my upset cloud my judgment."

"You are such a slut," Gina screamed, she reached over and slapped Kelly in the face, "Is this what you do? You sleep with other people's boyfriends," Gina was near tears, she couldn't speak anymore.

"I'm sorry, I never meant for anyone to get hurt," Kelly looked at both of them, what she spoke was true. Though she hated Gina and knew that they could never be close she knew that it was Gina's life still and she had affected it greatly. Then there was Matt someone she did love, someone she did care for and she knew that cheating was something they could recover from under the circumstances, he had hid his marriage from her, they weren't exactly together but they weren't exactly apart. It was the baby that would destroy them; it was the baby that would make her end up alone.

"You never meant for anyone to get hurt! What did you think would come of you cheating," Matt sat up straighter getting worked up.

"Oh and what would come of you lying to me about your wife. I didn't do anything worse than you did! You had a wife hidden from me," Kelly had to make him understand where she was coming from, at least there would be some mercy from him; Gina was another story.

"So what, you did this to get even with me," Matt was infuriated.

"No, I did it because I didn't want to feel alone anymore," but Kelly knew that wasn't the whole truth. She knew what she felt for Dylan was different than what she felt for Matt, it was stronger, it was passionate. Even when they were just looking at each other she could feel her heart pound faster and faster. She skipped beats when she was with him and that's why she did it. It was just another love or an old flame, it was the flame. It was the person that made her feel complete, it was her other half. How could she admit this to Matt when she couldn't admit it to herself? There was no certainty that Dylan would even step up and be there for the baby, there was no certainty that Dylan would agree to being a father, but in the back of Kelly's mind she hoped he would and not because it would be easier, but because it would be the most accepting way for her to try again with him. If Dylan was ready to make a huge commitment to this child then the chances are that he was ready to make a commitment to her and that was the only thing that kept them apart. Was Dylan ready for a real relationship with her?

Matt sighed, "I need time to think about all of this."

"There's more that I need to tell you. It's something I should tell you in private," Kelly looked over at Gina.

"Oh to hell with that, after what you just told us; if you think for one minute I'm leaving and not getting all the information than you are crazy," Gina took a step closer to Kelly ready to get in her face about it.

"If it has to do with Mexico than Gina has a right to stay in here," Matt said firmly.

"Fine, I thought it was something Dylan should tell her...and he was going to tell you Gina. In fact he just found out about it today, but here it goes...I'm pregnant and I don't think I have to count back to figure out who the father is," what Kelly said came out sounding nastier than she wanted it to, but she was getting fed up. She knew what she did was wrong, but what Matt did was no better. The only thing keeping her feeling guilty was the fact that she was carrying the love of her life's baby and then there of course was the fact that Dylan was the love her life; not Matt.

Both Matt and Gina stared at her stunned. Gina looked as though she was about to shoot fire from her mouth, she got up and headed towards the door, but before leaving she turned and looked at Kelly, "When I called you a slut I was clearly mistaken, it's obvious that you are so much worse than that; so much colder than that."

Gina went over to David's house and didn't bother knocking on the door, she barged right in and over to Dylan who was sitting on the couch staring off into space.

"How could you do this to me," Gina roared as she stood in front of him.

"Do what to you," Dylan knew the answer to this already.

"It's bad enough that you slept with her in Mexico, but you knocked the cold heartless bitch up! I can't even stand to look at you. I loved you Dylan! I loved you and you couldn't love me back! Why couldn't you love me back," Gina fell to her knees and started to cry.

"Gina, I can't feel something that I don't feel. I do care about you,"

"How is that possible? You did this Dylan! You slept with her; you lied to me about it when I asked you! I can't forgive for this! I can't."

"I'm not asking you too and I don't want you too. Gina, we are two different people with two totally different views. We were never meant to be."

"I was just a sex toy to you," Gina looked up at Dylan with false realization.

"No, you weren't. If you want to believe that you can, but you weren't. I didn't love you and I won't lie about that now, but I did have fun with you and I did like being around you in general, not just for sex. I cared about what happened to you. You want the truth; I'll give you the truth."

"That would be a nice change of pace."

"I can't love you, but not because of who you are, but because of who I am. There is one person I do love and no matter how hard I try to forget her she is who I think about. I know you don't want to hear this, but I don't want to keep lying to you either. I care about you, but in a different way. What I did was wrong and I didn't want to hurt you, and I'm sure you know about the baby and that's why we can't go on like this. I don't know what to do as far as that child goes, but what I do know is that if we were in love we could face this problem together, but we're not in love. We're not both in love and the fact is we'll crumble before we even try. There's your honesty," Dylan didn't like saying what he needed to say to hear, but the fact was she needed to hear it. He loved Kelly and that would never change. He didn't want Gina to come crawling back to him again. Not now, not with the baby complications, not when he didn't know what was going to. He wanted Gina to move and he wanted to be left alone, because alone was the safest place to Dylan. It was the place where he didn't have to lose someone that he loved again to death or to another person. Alone was the place where he could sit by himself and watch his life pass him by. Alone was the place that he belonged, because at least there he didn't hear the whispers and the speculations about him. At least in this world alone he had the dark and dark is the safest place to hide in.
