"Teddy, please don't. I'll just cancel my role in the movie to be with you."

"Spencer, you shouldn't have to do that. You are taking your career to the next level and I'm not going to be the one preventing you from doing that."

"Teddy, I'll be heartbroken if you go through with it. I want this baby unlike you do."

"You make it sound as if if I had this baby I would hate it. It's not like that at all. Don't you understand I don't want to be pregnant and alone? I'll basically be that with you away for I don't know how many months and the kids busy with school and Cara starting dance in a few weeks. I don't want that, I rather be alone and not pregnant."

"Like I said before, I'll just quit and they can find someone else to replace me."

"Spencer, I'll be real upset if you do that just because of me. Like I said before, I don't want to be the one preventing you from stepping up your career."

"It wouldn't just be because of you, but for the kids."

"Spencer, listen to me, don't."

"And you listen to me, don't. I won't if you won't."

"Can't you just understand what I want? You're not the one pregnant, I am. You won't be the one sacrificing everything, I am. You won't be the one home alone with four kids and two pets, I will. Being pregnant will just make it all harder on me. Don't you understand that? I'll be stressing out like crazy and that is never good for any baby."

"Mommy?"

I turned around and saw Cara standing in the doorway of my and Spencer's room. "Yes, sweetie?"

"I heard yelling, I got scared. Is everything okay?" She asked.

"Yes, everything's okay, sweetie. Go downstairs and we'll be down in a minute."

She nodded and did what she was told.

"Teddy, I already love this baby. Are you really going to rip something out of my heart like this?"

"Spencer, I wasn't even going to tell you I'm pregnant. I was going to get a secret abortion and then stay with Des or Sky while I recovered. I wasn't even going to tell you but of course my morning sickness gave it away."

"What, you weren't even going to tell me?"

"It would have been much easier than it is right now. Look at us, we are arguing about me getting an abortion. I know you are against it, I really do, but it's the best thing for us."

"Do you want to know why I'm against it so much? It's because that baby, our baby, is alive. It has a heartbeat which means it's alive and has a soul. Do you really want to kill a human, kill our baby?"

"Do you think I don't know that? I'm aware what I would be doing."

"Then don't, don't do it."

"Spencer, please just stop. I can't take this."

"Take what?"

"This, us, what we are doing."

"Then just get out!" Spencer said pointing towards the door. "Just get the hell out."

"FINE!" I stormed out and ran down the stairs. I grabbed my purse and keys.

"Mommy, where are you going?" Cara asked.

I stopped and stared at her. "I honestly don't know. Would you like to come with me though?"

She nodded. I grabbed her hand and we headed out to my car. I placed her in her booster seat and I drove away. I stopped at a little café with Cara and ordered a snack for the both of us. As we sat at the table, I called PJ.

"Teddy, I can't talk, I'm busy." He said.

I started to cry. "Spencer and I got in a fight. Can I come stay with you guys?"

"What happened?"

"We got in a fight and he told me to get out."

"He kicked you out?"

"I guess you could say that." I wiped the tears away with my hand so Cara wouldn't see me crying. "Can Cara and I stay with you guys?"

"Yeah, of course, sis. I think Sky is at home so you can go over there right now."

I sniffled. "Thanks. You're such a nice big brother." I hung up and placed my phone back in my purse. "Finish up Cara so we can go."

"Where are we going mommy?" Cara asked as she took a bite of her chocolate muffin.

"Uncle PJ and Aunt Sky's house. We're going to have a sleep over."

"Yay!"

I took my mirror out of my purse to look at myself. "God, I look awful." I used a napkin and wiped my smudged mascara off.

"Mommy, you look pretty."

I smiled. "Thank you, Cara." I sniffled again. "You always know how to make mommy feel better."

After she finished eating, we headed over to PJ's house. I knocked on the door and Skylar answered it a few seconds later. She immediately gave me a hug.

"PJ told me what happened." She whispered in my ear. "You don't deserve that crap from Spencer."

"I really don't." I started to cry again. "What did I ever do to get this?"

"You didn't do anything. Spencer's just being a jerk. Did he kick Cara out too because that's fucked up if he did."

I shook my head. "She wanted to come with me."

"I can't blame her. So what happened, PJ said you guys got in a fight?"

"He doesn't agree with what I'm going to do tomorrow and we started to argue."

"What are doing tomorrow?"

I shook my head. "It doesn't matter. He's just being real inconsiderate on what I want, what I need, how I feel."

Brendan's POV

"Where's mom and Cara?" Braeden asked when we got home.

"I honestly don't know nor care that much." Dad said.

"You should care dad. I would want to know where my daughter and whatever you and mom are, is." I said.

"Just go do your homework."

"When is mom gonna come back?" Cassandra asked. "And Ally, when will they both be back?"

"I don't know. Just stay out of it and go do your homework." Dad said.

I texted mom as I walked up the stairs to my room to find out.

B: Where are you?

M: I'm with Uncle PJ's but don't tell dad.

B: Why?

M: Just don't. I obviously don't want him knowing where I am at.

B: When will you be back?

M: I don't know… Just do your homework and be good.

I sighed and placed my phone on the charger. "And everyone at school thinks my life is perfect." I mumbled to myself as I took my school books out of my backpack.

Teddy's POV

At around one in the morning I started to get pains in my abdominal which woke me up. "Owe." I placed my hands where I was receiving the pain. "Owe." The pain started to get worst. "PJ, SKY!" I shouted. "P- owe! PJ!"

PJ and Sky both woke up from me screaming in pain and ran to the guest bedroom where I was staying in.

"Teddy, what's wrong?" PJ asked worried.

"Owe… I'm getting sharp pains in my-." I couldn't finish my sentence. "In my abdominal. Owe."

PJ looked at Sky. "That doesn't sound good. I should take you to the hospital. Sky stay here with the kids."

"Yeah of course."

Sky and PJ both helped me out of bed and out to PJ's car. I was in severe pain as he drove to the hospital. He just couldn't get there fast enough.

"PJ, can I tell you something?"

"Yeah, anything."

"I'm pregnant. Owe. Or at least I still think I am."

"What."

"I was planning on getting an abortion today and that's why Spencer and I got into an argument yesterday. Owe." I started to cry from the pain I was receiving. "He didn't want me to go through with it."

"Just relax. Should I call Spencer?"

"No, don't. Just get me to the hospital."

It took us about thirty minutes to get to the hospital. When we got there, we went straight to the emergency room and I was immediately checked into a room. I told the doctor I was pregnant and he immediately did an ultrasound to see if I miscarried or not. PJ stood next to the bed where I laid holding my hand, like the awesome big brother he is, he didn't leave my side.

"I'm sorry Ms. Duncan, I can't detect a heartbeat."

Hearing the doctor say that actually made my heart break into a million of pieces. I didn't think it would hurt as bad as it did especially since I was going to get an abortion in just ten hours from now. I looked up at PJ and started to cry.

"I would like you to stay for the rest of the night just to make sure you're okay." The doctor left leaving me and PJ alone.

PJ leaned down and gave me a hug, trying to comfort me. "It'll be okay, Teddy."

"I, I didn't think it would hurt this bad, PJ." I cried. I finally managed to stop crying. "You don't have to stay with me, I'll be fine alone."

"No, Teddy, I won't leave you. I'm going to stay with you like a good big brother, I am. I'm the dad in your life now and I'm going to be like one and not leave my daughter's side."

I smiled and laughed a little when he said that. "No, you don't have to. You can come back first thing in the morning. Plus I would hate it if you slept in that uncomfortable chair for the rest of the night."

"Alright, I'll see you in the morning then."

When PJ left, I immediately went to sleep. When I woke back up, it was eight. I saw PJ was already back.

"The doctor said you can leave when you're ready." PJ said.

"I want to go then." I got up out of the hospital bed and went into the bathroom to put back on the soft, cozy PJ bottoms Sky let me borrow and white tank top. PJ took me out to breakfast at his restaurant since he does have to work. Sky came to pick me up thirty minutes later after she dropped her kids off at school and drove me over to my house so I could get a few things. When we got there, Sky and I went in, leaving the kids in the car.

"Can you get a few things for Cara in her room, while I get some things for me? The sooner we get out, the better."

"Yeah, of course."

I walked into my and Spencer's room and grabbed a bag of clothing for me.

"I was expecting you were getting the abortion right now." Spencer said standing behind me. "Did you decide not to do it or is that where you're going right now?"

"You know what Spencer, I'm not in the mood to be dealing with your crap right now. My night has not been pleasant." I started to cry as I shoved things in my bag. "Last night I had a miscarriage and had to go to the hospital. That is how I spent my night. Just please fuck off me, Spencer. I'm not in the mood."

"Why didn't you call me?" He asked nearing me. He placed his hands on my back.

I shoved him away from me. "Just leave me alone and fuck off, Spencer."

Sky and I got back into her car and then went back to the house. I immediately went back to bed and laid there crying. Sky brought me a hot cup of tea but she saw that I was already asleep and walked out of the room.
