Today was the day. Tess had been avoiding Fletch for the entire week. But she knew what she had to do. She was going to hand him a letter with the test results inside and tell him to open it when he gets to Australia. When he can't come back. Stop her from getting an abortion. She hadn't slept for days thinking about if she wanted the baby. Even if she did what would everyone else think? It wouldn't be fair on Fletch he'd feel like he had a responsibility as the father...

"Fletch. Can I talk to you before you go?" Tess said.

He nodded and followed her into her office. Her face was grim. He didn't want to go hoping she'd admit her feelings.

She took an envelope out her desk.

"Open it once you get to Australia." She said handing it to him but not looking up.

"Tess..." He couldn't speak the words were on the tip of his tongue. "I love you." He said after minutes of silence.

She looked up at him shocked at the words.

He kissed her. She wanted to pull away but at the same time couldn't bare to knowing he would leave for ever. Tess pulled away. Tears streaming down her face. "Goodbye Fletch." She said through tears.

He couldn't say it he wasn't ready to go. So instead left the office quickly clenching the envelope, on the verge of tears. "Goodbye." He whispered as he left the ED...

Tess was left sitting alone in her office her hand resting on her stomach. He didn't even say good bye. Maybe that means it's not the end. It's only beginning. Did she want to kill the baby?

She was brought back when there was a knock at the door. She wiped the tears away. It was Zoe.

"Have you spoken to the father yet?"

Tess nodded "I'm leaving Holby."

Zoe was shocked. "Why?"

"I want this baby." She replied.
