Lena's Dream...
"Jay...wake up!",I yelled. I saw him lying on the hospital bed. Exactly like the day he died. I had wondered off in the hospital after Shannon gave me the money... but this dream was different..
"Jay!", I said when I saw him open his eyes. I saw the doctor come in and cover his face.
"No! he's still alive!...please wait"
"I'm sorry ma'am...this man is dead", he said.
"No!",I was trying to get to him and I felt the doctors restraining me.
"Please ma'am I know it's hard enough but you need to identify which one of these men is your husband", I looked over and saw Shannon and Jeff laying on two beds..
"But I-", I felt the tears welling up in my eyes..
"Your baby... it didn't-".
I woke up and instantly felt sick...but I didn't need to throw up. I walked to the washroom inside of Jeff's room and looked at myself in the mirror.
Ooo god that didn't look good
I opened the tap and washed my face.
"Lena!",I heard Jeff calling.
"Yea?",I said coming out of the bathroom.
"Come downstairs when you're done..", he said kinda serious.
"Umm sure thing",I said and put some toothpaste on the brush. I was about to put it in my mouth and then was when I decided to throw up...

Jeff's POV
I set the table and I was gonna tell Lena everything the doctor said all she knew was that she was about a 8 weeks along.
"Jeff..",I turned around and saw her standing there wearing a pink tank top and a pair of plaid shorts. She was frowning and had her arm over her stomach.
"You ok?",I asked and helped her to a chair.
"Yea...I just got a little sick.."
"Here",I said handing her a glass of water. I saw her hair covering her face as she took a sip. She set the glass down on the counter and turned to me. I took a seat and looked her in the eyes.
"I wanna tell you what the doctor said"
"Ok",she said uneasy and turned completely to face me.
"He said that you need alot of prenatal care because you didn't know about the baby before.."

Lena's POV
"He wants to know if you drank or smoked...",he said looking at me.
"Umm well once...I'm sorry!", I said gripping the edge of the counter. Usually I was no alcohol no nothing but after Jay was gone...I needed it...once.
"I guess the night I conceived..I did drink and..the night...the night after...but that was it",I said. I was so angry at myself...
"It's ok...you didn't know...I mean", he said holding my hand.
"No Jeff! I'm such an idiot!...I've never drank my entire life and then I just had to choose that time to become weak...",I yelled.
"Lena.."
"I could've killed this baby! What would Jay think...god I can't believe I did this"
"Lena"
"Do you know how much I could've hurt it already! why the hell did I have to screw it up! I-"
"LENA!",yelled Jeff which jumped me. "Stop damn it!... it wasn't your fault!"
"I'm...i'm sorry"

Matt's POV
I turned over and put my hand on her blonde and black hair. I saw her eyes open.
"Morning",she said.
"Morning Ash",I said and smiled at her. She got up and sat down again.
"You...you ok?",I asked running to her side.
"Fine...", she said and flashed me a winning smile...but her eyes said something different.
I got up and put on a shirt and went outside to see her leaning on a chair gripping her side.
"It still hurts doesn't?",I asked helping her sit on my lap.
"Yea", she said and hugged me. Ashley had tried a stupid stunt... she won the match but broke one of her ribs... although the was hurting way more...

Jeff's POV
2 hours later...
"Ok so tomorrow we have our first doctor's appointment and Matt and Ashley wanna come"
"Ok",she said and sat at the computer. I walked up to her and saw what she was looking at.
"Effects of Drugs and Alcohol On Infants"
"Lena...stop this now", I said and turned the screen off.
"Jeff please"
"No... umm.. get ready... I'm gonna take you out",I said. I needed her to get her mind off of this.

Lena's POV
I walked upstairs and was careful not to fall. He had steep wooden steps. I made it to the top and walked toward his room. This was all pretty new so I wanted to explore new rooms. The sunlight coming in from the windows and the floors reminded me of Shannon's place...

3 months ago...
"Shannon!",I threw my arms around his neck.
"Ok...so come on in",he said and walked me inside.
"Here's your room... any night you need me to... I can stay with you..", he said and winked at me.
"Sure",I said and rolled my eyes. After Jay was gone I was left alone in our house in Toronto... I couldn't do it alone... so I moved to North Carolina to be with Shannon.
"My room will be right there...", he said pointing across the hall "now go get some sleep it's already 2 in the morning"
I rolled into bed but I couldn't... I walked across the hall and snuggled up next him.
I closed my eyes when I felt his arms around me.
"Knew you would come",he said I felt him nuzzle the back of my neck as we both fell asleep.
XXXXXXX
I walked downstairs wearing a black dress with a cropped leather jacket.
"Beautiful", Jeff said as I walked in. I laughed and picked up my bag from the table.
"It's ok",he said taking it from me and putting back on the table "you don't need a bag where we're going", I felt him take off my jacket and lead me to the backyard.
"Huh?"
"I know it's not much but come...",he said leading me through some trees and shrubs. We walked for a good 5 minutes.
"Here", he said. I saw a spot in the forest with a huge tree with a huge dip in the trunk. We both sat down and I saw his green eyes look up at me. They were so different. Almost green and orange in the light. I stared at his lips but knew I couldn't.
"Uhh Jeff..", I said trying to make conversation.
"Yea", he said. My heart began to race. I wanted him... now I loved everything about him although we barely knew each other. When I looked at him I had a rush of emotions.
I had to tell him...
"I need to tell you... a secret.."
"Umm ok", he said and laughed a little.
"Please promise you won't tell anyone until I'm ready"
"Yea of course", he said looking at me seriously.
"Pinkie swear?"
"Pinkie swear"
"Cross you heart and hope to die?"
"Stick a needle in my eye", he said and we both laughed.
"Jeff the father of my baby... I ...I think... Well I know..", I said. I looked down and saw our fingers still interlocked. I opened my mouth and looked up at him...
