July 8, 1997 Miami Florida
"Hey Juliet," Mary said walking into Juliet's room. Juliet looked up at her mom and smiled.
"Hey mom," Juliet sat up on her bed.
"I'm running to the store do you need anything?" Mary asked and Juliet shook her head.
"Nope. I'm good mom,"
"What about pads? Do you need any?" Juliet thought for a moment then she nodded.
"Alright," Mary said walking out of the room.
"Thanks mom!" Juliet called. She stood up and walked to the window, she watched her mom pull out of the garage. Her brothers were away at school; her dad was at work so she was alone. She went back to her bed and continued to read her book before there was a tap on the window. Juliet stood up and looked outside. She smiled and opened the window.
"Trevor! What are you doing here?" Juliet laughed and Trevor smiled.
"I'm coming up!" he called. He climbed up the tree that was next to her window then he crawled inside her room.
"Damn Julie you look hot," Trevor said wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Shut up," Juliet smiled and they kissed. Juliet ran her fingers through Trevor's red hair. They broke apart when air was needed.
"That… was wow." Trevor smiled his blue eyes looking into hers.
"You say that a lot," Juliet rolled her eyes.
"It's true. Grab your coat I'm taking you out." Trevor said and Juliet nodded.
"Let me freshen up," she said walking to her bathroom.
"Take your time girl," Trevor sat on her bed. Juliet smiled and shut the door behind her. She took her brush and started to brush her long blonde hair. Once her hair was done she started to apply make-up. While she was putting on some lip-gloss out of the corner of her eyes she saw her cabinet.
She walked over to it and opened it inside were tampons and pads all un-used. She frowned then counted the weeks in her head. She was about 2 weeks late for her period and she just noticed. Juliet thought back about 3 weeks ago at Sandra Lane's party. She and Trevor had gotten drunk then they had slept together. Now she was late.
"Shit," Juliet cursed.
"You almost done?" Came Trevor's voice from the other room. Juliet put on a fake smiled and walked back into her bedroom.
"Actually Trevor I'm not feeling so well," Juliet wrapped her arms around her stomach. She wasn't lying because she was actually feeling sick.
"Oh. Ok, maybe some other time," he went to kiss her again but she back up.
"I don't want you to get sick," she smiled and he nodded. He climbed out of her window. A few minutes later her mom walked up the stairs and found Juliet crying.
"Juliet? Are you okay?" Mary walked into the room and sat next to her daughter.
"I'm sorry mommy," Juliet sobbed.
"What are you sorry about?" Mary hugged her but Juliet cried harder.
"You couldn't have done anything really bad. I mean it's not like you're pregnant." Mary gave a chuckle at the absurd thought. To her amazement Juliet cried even harder and she didn't deny it.
"Juliet? Sweetie are you?" Mary leaned back.
"I don't know mom. I just feel sick and my periods two weeks late." Juliet got out between her crying. Mary was shocked. She would never have thought about doing this with her teenage daughter.
"Okay. It's okay sweetie," Mary hugged Juliet to her chest as Juliet cried "I'm going to run back to the store and I'm going to buy a pregnancy test." Mary stood up.
"Mom? What about dad?" Juliet sniffled.
"We'll talk about that later,"
"He's gonna kill me,"
"You should've thought about this before you went and had sex!" Mary snapped slamming Juliet's door. Mary rushed back to the store and bought 3 tests. She was back at the house in less than 20 minutes. Mary handed Juliet the boxes and Juliet disappeared into the bathroom. Mary went down stairs and made herself a cup of tea, about 5 minutes later Juliet came down the stairs. Mary looked at her and Juliet gave a little nod.
"God," Mary sighed putting her forehead on the counter "This can't be happening. You're only 17," Mary whispered.
"I don't know what to do mom,"
"We wait. And when your father gets home we'll tell him."
March 26 2012, Santa Barbra
"I had never been so scared," Juliet looked down at her hands. Shawn moved from the chair in front of her. He moved and sat next to her on the couch.
"What happened after that?" Shawn whispered.
"My dad came home and we told him. I had never seen him so angry. He was just cursing away. He banded me from seeing Trevor. Hell he banded me from leaving the house except for appointments. And he made those super early in the morning so now one would know." Juliet told Shawn and he sighed.
"I had an experience like this." Shawn confessed.
"You were pregnant?" Juliet joked.
"No. When I was 16 I thought I had gotten my girlfriend or ex-girlfriend pregnant."
"What happened?"
"She wasn't and that was the end." Shawn finished "Did Trevor ever try to contact you?"
"Once. But then my dad scared him off. After Eliza was born and the nurse had taken her. Dad sent me off to California for collage. I never saw Trevor or Eliza again." Juliet rested her head on Shawn's shoulder.
"Are you gonna try and find them?" Shawn asked.
"Trevor no. But I'm not sure about Eliza. What would you do Shawn?"
"I honestly don't know. I guess I'd try to make an appearance and if she didn't want me I'd talk to her adoptive parents. Tell them if they needed money for her, or just help. I'd help." Shawn answered and Juliet nodded.
"I think you should call the nurse. Tell her you're in the city," Shawn mumbled.
"Yeah okay." Shawn reached over and grabbed the phone book.
"Get up real quick," he said. Juliet stood up; Shawn put his back against the arm rest, he stretched his legs along on the couch. He took Juliet's hand and pulled her onto his lap. She lay down on top of him, they were both facing the ceiling.
"789-3220," Shawn said and Juliet dialed the number into her phone.

Melissa was cleaning up the table, and doing dishes.
"Is Eliza going to be okay?" Toby asked.
"She'll be fine." Melissa smiled and Toby went upstairs. On a shelf in the kitchen were pictures of all of the kids. Melissa walked over to it and picked up the picture of Eliza when she was 6 months old. Even at that age both Alex and Melissa could tell Eliza was going to be tall. The phone on the wall started to ring, without thinking Melissa reached out and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Is this Melissa Moss?" A voice asked. Melissa could tell it was a girl from the pitch.
"This is she,"
"We need to meet,"
"Who is this?" Melissa questioned. Eliza walked into the kitchen and Melissa heard the other person take a deep breath.
"It's Juliet. Juliet O'Hara," Melissa gasped and sat on the chair by the table.
"I don't know if you know-"
"I know who you are." Melissa interrupted. Eliza looked at Melissa confused "And I agree we need meet."
"When? Where?" Juliet asked.
"Are you in Santa Barbra?"
"Yes."
"Met me and my husband at the diner by the police station around 11."
"I'll meet you there," Juliet said and Melissa hung up.
"Who was that?" Eliza asked.
"Don't worry about it," Melissa said and Eliza left followed by Alex walking into the kitchen.
"Who was on the phone babe?" he looked at Melissa.
"It was Juliet."
"Who is Juliet?"
"Eliza's real mom. She wants to meet us tomorrow and I agreed."
"What! You can't do that without my say!" Alex hissed.
"Relax Alex. It's just us not Eliza,"

Eliza bent down outside of the kitchen to pick up her cell phone which had dropped.
"Who was on the phone?" her dad asked.
"It was Juliet." her mom answered. Eliza stopped in her tacks and listened to her parents.
"Who is Juliet?"
"Eliza's real mom. She wants to meet us tomorrow and I agreed." Eliza gasped.
"What! You can't do that without my say!" her dad hissed.
"Relax Alex. It's just us not Eliza," Melissa said "Eliza well be nowhere around the diner tomorrow so relax." Eliza ran back up to her room.
