Lisette swung her legs back and forth, nervous as hell as she waited for the doctor to come in the room. The door opened and she jumped, her heart pounding as the doctor walked in the room with a smile on her face. "Miss Davidson, how are you feeling today?"
"Nervous to be honest with you."
"That's completely understandable so I won't make you wait any longer." Dr. Thomas said as she thumbed through Lisette's chart and she looked up with an even bigger smile. "Congratulations Miss Davidson, you are indeed pregnant."
"Oh God." Lisette gasped, feeling her whole world turning upside down as she began to get sick to her stomach.
"Are you alright? Is this news you weren't hoping for?"
"Not exactly, no."
"Well, there are options..." The doctor started to say and Lisette shook her head.
"No, absolutely not. This baby is here now and I'm not going to do anything like that, I'll figure things out. Thank your Dr. Thomas."
The doctor smiled and shook Lisette's hand. "You're welcome Miss Davidson and good luck. Stop out front and we ll get you all set up for your next appointment."
"I will and thank you again." Lisette waited until the doctor walked out of the room before she broke down in tears. She wiped her eyes and blew her nose, taking a deep breath before she pulled her cell phone out of her pocket and called her sister.
"Hello?"
"Lo, it's me"
"And?"
"I'm pregnant Lo. Oh God, what am I going to do?" Lisette whispered as she began to cry again.
"Calm down sis, it's going to be ok. We'll figure something out I promise Aleister and I will be there to help you every step of the way. But Chris..."
"Lo I can't even think about him right now, seriously. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that a mistake I made has changed my life forever."
"I know sweetie. I promise you that it's all going to be fine, ok? I'm heading to your house in a few minutes so I ll be there waiting for you when you get there."

"Thank you sis." Lisette said and hung up the phone.
"What's going on?" Aleister asked as he walked in the living room, having heard the tail end of the conversation Logan was having on the phone. "What did she find out?"
"She's pregnant, the doctor confirmed it."
"He has a right to know baby."
"I know that Daddy and I agree with you completely but that has to be Lisette's decision we can't be the ones to tell him." Logan said, walking over and wrapping her arms around his waist as she laid her head on her chest.
"And what if she decides she's not going to tell him?"
"We'll cross that bridge if and when we come to it but I know Lisette she'll do the right thing once she can get everything straight in her head."
"I hope you're right baby because I don't like knowing this and not telling him, he's one of my best friends and he deserves to know that he's going to be a dad." Aleister stated as he leaned down to kiss her.
"I know baby. I'm heading over there now to wait for her so I can be there for her, I'll try to talk to her again about telling him."
"Please do." He hugged her tightly and kissed her again. "Be careful, I love you."
"I will, I love you too."

Logan looked up from the magazine she had been looking through when the front door opened and Lisette walked in the house. "Oh Lissy..." She jumped off the couch and ran over to her sister, pulling her into a tight hug. "You doing ok?"
"I'm numb and in shock more than anything. I know already that I'm going to keep the baby, it's not the baby's fault that this happened so that's already settled. As for everything else? I don't have a fucking clue what I'm going to do Lo, I really don't."
"You need to tell Chris Lissy, he has a right to know and he can help you through it."
"I told you that I can't even think about him right now Lo." Lisette said, pulling away from her and walking into the kitchen. She pulled a bottle of water out of the refrigerator and opened it, taking a long drink before twisting the cap back on. "I'm not even sure I am going to tell him. I have a good, steady job and I can very well raise this baby on my own."
"Nobody's saying that you can't Lissy. All I m saying, all Aleister is saying is that you need to tell Chris. He's the father of that child and he has a right to know about it."
"Don't you think I know that?! God Logan, give me time to get my head wrapped around this! I'm thirty years old, single and pregnant by a man I don't even really know!" Lisette yelled, tears streaming from her eyes.
"I know. You're right, I'm sorry sis. I won't say anything about it again until you re ready to talk about it. Is there anything you need?" Logan asked and Lisette shook her head.
"Not right now, no. I just want to go lay down and take a nap for a while so I don't have to even think about anything for a while."
"Alright." Logan walked over and hugged her again, kissing her on the cheek. "I'm going to head back home but if you need anything you call me, no matter what time of the day or night it is ok?"
"Ok, I will. Thank you Lo, for everything I'm sorry that I yelled at you."
"It's fine Lissy. You have a lot on your mind right now so it's understandable, no big deal. You just go get some rest and call me later when you get up, alright?"
"Alright." Lisette waited until she heard Logan walk out of the house before draining the rest of her water and throwing the bottle in the trash. She made her way into the bedroom and walked into the bathroom, using it before washing her hands and walking. Lisette stripped her clothes off and got under the covers, resting her hand on her stomach as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry baby, you deserve to come into the world in a better way than this but I promise to love you." She whispered as she drifted off to sleep.
