"Cory! Please! Don't leave please! I am sorry!" Lea pleaded as tears rolled down her cheeks, and Cory stormed out of her bedroom.

Great way to start a story right? Well let's go back about 4 hours prior to the Doctors office.

"Miss. Sarfati?" The nurse called into the waiting room filled with pregnant woman.

"Yes." Lea said as she got up from her seat and headed back to the room and without any hesitation, her best friend was a few steps behind.

"Change into that gown and the doctor will be right with you." The nurse explained before exiting the room.

"Are you nervous?" Darren asked as he sat on the chair beside the exam table.

"Very" Lea said flatly as she began changing in front of Darren, she wasn't shy at all, they have seen each other's bare bodies plenty of times.

"Why do you have to get into the gown and lay on that weird thing just to take a test?" Darren asked feeling dumb founded

"Because after I pee in a cup, I have to have an examination to make sure I don't have any STD's and anything." Lea said as she slipped the gown on.

"Oh, It will be okay either way, we will get through this" Darren said smiling to her, she was so lucky to have him there with her, but that didn't stop her from wishing the other love of her life was there also, but she only had herself to blame.

She sat and waited as calmly as she could swinging her feet sideways as they were dangling from the table.

"What's this for?" Darren asked touching the cold stirrups at the end of the exam table.
"Those are for my feet, when they do a vaginal examination" Lea explained

"Like, look inside..your.. vjay?" Darren asked

"Yes, Darren" Lea said giggling

"Oh, great. I'll just sit over here out of the view" he said chuckling.

"Did I ever tell you how much I love you, and how much I am so grateful to have a best friend like you?" She said getting teary eyed as Darren grabbed her hand.

"It is nice to hear. But you know if Cory knew about this, he would be doing the same thing." He said as a larger blonde woman walked in the door, after a knock.

"Hello Lea! How have you been?" Dr. Lindzay asked. Lea had seen her quite regularly because she got checkups almost monthly. Her checkup for this month wasn't up yet but since she had to call to reschedule for her pregnancy test they figured they would get the test and checkup done at the same time.

"Hello, I have been better." Lea said truthfully

"Well let's see if we can change that and is this your boyfriend?" the doctor asked looking at Darren.

"Oh no, no, no, I am Darren her gay best friend, here for moral support" Darren blurted out before Lea could respond

"Oh, I'm sorry just kind of figure, but it's nice to meet you I'm Doctor Lindzay"

"It's okay, we get that a lot" Lea explained

"Let's get started, besides your regular checkup, why are you here?"

"Well I fear, that I am pregnant" Lea said nervously

"During intercourse did you use any protection?" Dr. Lindzay asked
"No, but I usually never ever forget it, but that time I didn't, no, and I have been taking birth control just wasn't on it that day I had ran out."

"Okay, so we need to get you a refill. You know that not using protection just once could spread STD's? Is your partner clean?"

"Yes he is he gets checked for all those things regularly. He's a clean person." Lea said instantly thinking of their conversation about these kinds of things a couple days ago.

Dr. Lindzay stopped writing on her paper as she looked up to Lea.

"If you are pregnant, do you have a support team and know what you are going to do?"

Lea's heart dropped she didn't think of any of those questions yet, she just wanted to find out.

"I have a support team yes, but I haven't figured anything further then this out." Lea said with a slight nervous smile.

"Fair enough, I want you to go into the bathroom and pee in the cup sitting on the counter, and put a lid on it, and I will collect it and get it tested." The Doctor said before Lea nervously walked into the bathroom.

Can you meet me at home after band practice around 5? I need to talk to you.

Sure, I will be there. What's this about?

Okay, I love you, always remember that. We will talk then.

Lea was beyond nervous to talk to Cory is almost made her sick. She was sitting in the car with Darren texting Cory to meet her in a couple hours.

"Don't be nervous Lee, everything will be fine. He will understand." Darren said as he rubbed her hand and he brought her to her car.

"I know, I hope. I love you baby, and thanks for going with me!" She said kissing him on his cheek before getting out and heading to her car.

'Everything will be okay, he will understand everything, I just have to explain it to him slowing and why this was necessary to keep him out of the loop.' She began cheering herself up as she drove home.

She took her keys out of her pocket as she unlocked her front door, and sighed a bit of relief noticing Chris wasn't hanging out till Darren got off work; she needed the house to herself for this.

She went to her room and changed into some comfy Pink sweats and a matching shirt; she placed Funny Girl in her DVD player and laid on her bed till it was time for lover to be done with practice. It was crazy to her how Funny Girl calmed her down in the most grueling times.

A knock on her door startled her, and interrupted her unplanned nap.

"Hey baby shhh, it's just me, were you sleeping?" Cory said seeing the fear written all over her face.

"Oh, hey baby. Yea I guess, I remember falling asleep" She said laying her head back onto her pillow.

Cory took his shoes off and crawled in bed with her, nuzzling his nose against hers.

"I love when you fall asleep to Funny Girl" he said noticing the credits roll by on the TV before placing a tender kiss on her lips.

"I love you" she simply replied

"So, what is it that you needed to talk to me about?" he asked nervous about the answer.

Lea yawned and stretched as she sat up in bed, Cory still lying down.

"You want to go down stairs and get something to eat? Or drink..?" she asked trying to pass time.

"No, I want to know what you want to talk to me about." He said harshly, but not meaning anything by it, he was just impatient.

"So, remember two weeks ago when we didn't use a condom?"

Cory's heart sank into his stomach as he nervously answered "Yes, in the pool."

"What's this about Lea?" he blurted out and went into anger, he was already stressed out with what he had to tell her about the band, and he didn't know if he could handle what she was about to say.

"Lea?" Cory asked as tears rolled down her face.

"I-I-I" Lea mumbled,

"WHAT? Tell me please Lea"

"I went to the doctors today to find out if I was pregnant." Lea blurted out so fast he could barely hear her, but he did.

Cory fell silent as he stood up from the bed.

"What? And you couldn't…. didn't tell me?" He screamed

"I'm sorry; I was just so scared I didn't know what I was going to do, I-" She began to shed tears.

"You have been dealing with this for what two weeks? Since that day and you haven't confided in me or anything about this?" Cory said becoming pissed.

"I know I know, but Cory I am not pregnant!" she said with a smile but tears still streaming down her rose cheeks.

Cory let out a sigh of relief, but the fact that she hid this from him; it just didn't sit well with him.

Lea sat on her knees on the bed in front of Cory as she began to wrap her arms around his neck, he instantly rejected her affection, and began putting his shoes back on.

"I am there for you every time Lea, when you broke up with that douche, when you were sick, when you just needed me to hold you to fall asleep, and the one time I should have been there for you, you don't allow me to? And don't include me in these big plans, how can you continue to call me your boyfriend if you don't ever let me all the way in Lea. I am over this, I have to go, and I will talk to you later." Cory explained as he began to walk out of the door.

"Cory! Please! Don't leave please! I am sorry!" Lea pleaded as tears rolled down her cheeks, and Cory stormed out of her bedroom.

That is exactly was she was afraid of, him leaving her. She fell backwards on her bed and sobbed into her pillow. She had no clue what to do or think. Maybe Darren and Cory were right, why no matter how much she loves someone she never gives her mind, heart and soul to them 100 percent, yes she spent every second and every single minute with him, when her schooling and work schedule allowed her to, but she didn't tell him to much or put all the effort into the relationship she could. She was scared to death of having her heart ripped out from the one person she gave it to.

It's been ten minutes since Cory left and she was still sobbing into her silk pillow, and decided to go get some water.

She wiped off her cheeks with the back of her hand. She thought it was over, the almost four amazing weeks she has spent with this man was over, there is no way he would even want to talk to her again.

She walked through the living room to the kitchen, and opened the fridge for a bottle of water.

"OH MY GOSH!" She screamed as she closed the door to a man standing behind it.

"Sorry" He said sitting on the stool.

"It's okay. You just scared me, I thought you left."

"I tired." He said as he continued "Do you understand that when I tell you I love you I mean it that means all of you. You're loudness, your random bantering of useless Broadway information that I will never actually need to know, the way you lick your lips like twenty four seven never realizing it, the way you dream, you dream so big I don't know how to do that, it's inspiring, you're inspiring. But I hate your insecurities and that no matter what you have this wall up with me, I was hoping that it would just pass but it's not, is it?" Cory asked

"It is I'm so sorry. I know I should of told you I made this appointment and let you come with me, and we could of done this together I know baby. I am so sorry." Lea said standing in the kitchen

"I just want all of you, 100 % Lea, the good, the bad, the ugly, the depressed, and the moodiness, to have a good relationship work you have to know everything Lea, and go through everything together. I cannot express to you how relived I am that were not having a baby yet, but I would of loved to be there with you. Were you even going to let me know if you were pregnant?" Cory had a good point, would she?

"Oh my gosh, of course I would of Cory! This is all new, I have never felt this way for someone, and I didn't want to scare you away"

"Lea, I am a grown man, I know the risk to having sex without condoms, and I could have handled it."

"I'm sorry." Lea said walking over to Cory wrapping her arms around his shoulder this time not getting rejected.

"please, just let me in all the way, be open with me, no more secrets, babe promise me you will let your walls down and let me in" he asked honestly.

"Yes baby the walls are torn down, every single problem or worry I have about us or anything I will be calling you" Lea said smiling.

"Good, welcome to a relationship." He said sarcastically, with his smirk that got her weak in the knees every time.

"Do you forgive me?" She said kissing his cheek

"Yes, baby, I am sorry I got so worked up and mad over this"

"it's okay, I understand" Lea said placing a kiss on his lips and grabbed his hand to lead him back to her room, he held her hand all the way up the stairs and followed her every movement.

Cory took his jeans and shoes off and laid in bed with Lea, holding her from behind, his arms wrapped around her torso and her back pressed into his stomach.

"So, did you go alone?" he said moving her hair from her neck with his free hand pressing light tender kisses on the nook of her neck.

"No, Darren went with me."

"That's good; at least you didn't go alone." He said kissing her shoulder.

"I love you." She said tangling her hand with his that laid on her stomach.

"I love you too baby."
