Mercy General Hospital - New York City, New York

Heather's Hospital Room

Fifteen Minutes Later...

A nurse came in with an IV stand, an IV bag, medication and two syringes on the tray she brought in. She walked over to the patient. "Hello, Dr. Harrison sent me in here to get some blood, and give her some medication for her nausea." The nurse tells them.

"Thank you, nurse," Angela said as she moved away for a moment from Heather.

Heather noticed the needles and looked at her mother and Olivia. "I'm not going to like this, and I hate needles. I don't like getting stabbed with needles!"

Angela spoke, "Honey it's just a small prick, and it's over. We have to find out if you are pregnant. Just hold my hand and squeeze it if you need to, okay?

Heather wiped her eyes and cheeks. She sighed and decided to hold her mom's hand, "I just want this over. Please hurry and get it done."

The nurse smiled a little and started her IV, "This will hurt a little more than drawing blood. Just take a deep breath and I will try my best to do it quickly okay?"

Olivia can tell Heather is scared and turned her head toward her as she holds Heather's other hand firmly. She felt her pain already. Olivia hates needles herself. She knows that if she is pregnant, there will surely be pain she will not like. Olivia remembered the pain she was surely in when she was giving birth 27 years ago to her first born baby girl - the child she gave away to her roommate. And the pain was just as bad when she had Jake. Nevertheless, it was worth the pain having two beautiful babies, a girl, and boy. She smiled at that thought. Olivia nodded to the nurse.

The nurse finds a suitable vein on the top of her hand and slowly, but as quickly as she can inserts the needle into the top of her hand.

Heather grimaced from the needle going into the top of her hand. She squeezed both Olivia and her mother's hand tightly, "Ow! Ow! That hurts! I hate needles I hate needles!" she sighed.

Olivia felt Heather's grip and raised her eyebrows at how strong she is! "Wow, you have some grip there Heather," Olivia chuckled.

"Sorry, Olivia, I didn't mean to hurt you," Heather sighed.

"It's okay baby." She smiled at her and stroked her hair. "No harm was done. That's what Aunts are for right?" She smiled knowing that Heather doesn't know she is her real Aunt.

"Okay, one last needle. I'm going to draw some blood from you now," the nurse told Heather.

Heather sighed as she again watched the nurse. She put a rubber looking rope around her upper arm. The nurse put rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and rubbed it in the middle of her arm. She taps her arm to find a vein, "Okay, I'm going to put the needle in now."

Heather turned her head again towards Olivia and got ready for the last needle. She squeezed Olivia's hand again as she felt the needle go into her arm, she flinched a little, but, does not squeeze Olivia's hand too hard this time. She lets go once again. "I'm glad that's over with."

Angela also is relieved. She let out a sigh of relief and stood up. As the nurse finished drawing blood, she put a piece of tape on the cotton ball on her arm. "Okay dear, it's done. No more needles," she smiled. She handed her a nausea pill and a sedative, and a cup of water. "This is for your nausea and your discomfort. It will help you feel better."

Heather took the pill put it in her mouth and washed it down with the water. "Thank you," Heather said to the nurse.

"You are welcome. Now the test results will take about an hour. Just lay back and relax and we'll be back soon with the results," the nurse said as she walked out of the room.

Olivia sat in her chair and rested finally. "I had hoped your Uncle Brian would get here. I sure miss him. He's been on an undercover job for the past few days now," Olivia said.

"Well, I hope Brian is okay then. How dangerous is it?" Angela asked.

"Hopefully not too dangerous, though in our line of work everything is dangerous, unfortunately. I really can't give you the details as I don't even know them myself," Olivia says, "I did, however, asked Munch to get a message to him about Jake being here. He doesn't even know what happened to him yet."

"Liv, you need just to relax and lie back on the chair and take a nap. By the time you, wake up the test results will be back. Maybe Brian will be here by then, too," Angela told her sister.

"A nap sounds excellent right now. Maybe we all should take one! Should do you some good too, Heather. Just lay back and rest. We will be here if you need us, okay?" Olivia leaned down and kissed Heather's forehead.

Heather just nodded at Olivia. "I, I feel so tired. Mom are you to staying here too?" Heather asked starting to feel the effects of the medication she was given.

"Of course, honey. I am not going to leave you either." She also gave her a kiss on the cheek and smiled. "I love you, Heather," Angela told her.

"Mom, Olivia? I'm sorry about earlier. I don't know why I am such a brat." Heather looked down playing with her fingers. "When you threatened to put me over your knee earlier, I mean I just do not know why my feelings have gone haywire. It's just…I do not know what is happening..." Heather's eyes started to flutter, and she tried fighting to stay awake. However, the medication is stronger and doesn't realize she was given a sedative to sleep and fluids through her IV to help keep her hydrated so she could rest.

Angela sighed. "I know why she has been the way she is Olivia. She is mad that her dad died and left her. You know how Paul and Heather were so close." Angela tried to fight her tears, but to no avail. "I am sorry Liv; I miss him so much…we are both fighting the loss of him. Her acting out the way she has, it hurts her so much. I can't believe I threatened to spank her. She is too old for it anyhow. Why did I do that to her?" Angela teared up feeling so tired of everything.

Olivia looked over at her sister and whispered to her with her arm around her, "Hey, you both have been in a nightmare together. All that pain, the sadness, and fear just are all coming out at once. I promise you, things will get better. And I am here for both of you. You are my family now, and I hold family very close. Just remember that. Let us all get some rest."

"Thanks, Olivia, and yes we all need it," Angela said slumping back in her chair.

Both can breathe easier for now. Olivia sat down in her comfortable chair as they all await the results of the pregnancy test for Heather. Olivia fell asleep knowing that she is soon going to have a granddaughter as she fell asleep with a small smile on her face.

Angela fell asleep as well. Thankful Robert is dead and never going to hurt her or Heather ever again. The best news is that she has gained a sister she never knew existed until now, as she waits for answers about Heather.

NYPD Special Victims Unit - Manhattan, New York

Squad Room

As Amanda had already worked several hours at her desk with nothing else to do besides paperwork, she felt like she has burnt out already. Her stomach starts to growl, she felt hungry and noticed the time. She checked her pocket for some change for the vending machine, and she began to walk down the hall getting her money out.

Nick was also walking down the hall from the other way looking at some paperwork. He doesn't see where he is going, as Amanda was walking his way, when he suddenly collided with Amanda as they bump into each other as her change from her hand fell to the ground.

"Ouch! Nick! What the hell!? Now look what you made me do!" Amanda said tiredly and grouchy, as she scampered around picking up her loose change.

"I'm sorry Amanda, it was my fault, I wasn't looking where I was going." Nick bent down to help her pick up all her change when he noticed Amanda looking a little fatigued.

Amanda looked up at Nick shaking her head. "Yeah you should have looked where you were going," Amanda said knowing she wasn't looking where she was going either. She sighed as she stood back up with the change in her hand.

Nick looked at her as he put the change he picked up in her hand, but grabbed her hand, and pulled Amanda to him even closer as he looked around and whispered to her, "I know what you need right now." Nick told her with a sly grin and a wink.

Amanda saw Nick's smile. She knew what kind of smile that was, and knows what his idea was. Amanda looked around now herself, and quickly put her change back in her pocket when she can't help the feeling she suddenly got. That pulsating heat she had between her legs, the urge she knows all too well. She looked at him with those sexy eyes of his. She grabbed Nick's hand and pulled him into the nearest private room as fast as she could. She closed the door behind her, locked it, and closed the blinds.

Nick saw her urgency as he has already felt his urges. He quickly took his shirt off, as Amanda pulled him to her, and gave Nick the wettest and deep French kiss he's ever had.

Nick helped Amanda with her shirt and pulled it off her as he grabbed her roughly continuing kissing without breaking it. He turned her around pinning her against the wall face first, as he pressed himself against her. He kissed the back of her neck. The feelings for each other were so strong and very clear.

"Oh my god Nick!" She becomes out of breath, pushing herself against him, feeling him. She quickly turned around to face him; her chest heaved with each breath. She looked into his big brown eyes as her hand wandered further down, grabbing onto him and fondled him while kissing him deeply.

Nick's breath caught in his throat feeling her hand on him. Nick was so overwhelmed by her urgency, and he smiles at her while kissing back hard. His hands held her face. Amanda continued kissing him back hard as she is backed up against the steel table by Nick.

"You are so beautiful and sexy, Amanda." His passion for her, his love for her was evident. His loins ached to have her right then and there. He ran his hands down her sides and started unzipping her pants, and pushed them down over her hips. "I love you so much."

"Oh, Nick…you are so hot!" Amanda finally broke the kiss long enough to start to unbuckle his pants, and shoved them off him. She smiled hearing him say that to her. "I love you too, baby!" I want you so bad! I need this!"

"You are unbelievable Amanda…," Nick said in the heat of the moment as he lifted her up on the cold hard steel table when she wrapped her legs around his waist. His breath was caught with each wave of intensity coursing through his loins with lust and pleasure he was feeling. He quickly pushed off her jeans as they fell to the floor.

Amanda's body is feeling waves of pleasure and heat throughout her body. As she laid down on the table, she felt Nick's hand big strong hands on her thighs. She suddenly felt an overwhelming climax of pleasure overtake her body, and she quivered. She felt her body tingling in all the right places, panting and out of breath when she suddenly felt Nick inside her body."Oh god, Nick!" She moaned as she quickly started moving with him in extreme pleasure feeling what she hadn't felt in years. After only two years of knowing Nick, she's never felt this much lust, especially for Nick.

They both move together, as their breath quickens more and more. Nick's moans with pleasure gave him more vitality. He moves even faster with her movements. "Oh yes...oh god, Amanda." He moves harder and faster, with each groan of pleasure and hip movements he felt an overwhelming climax and went much faster wanting to feel every moment of hers with his.

"Oh my god Nick! Yes! Nick! I love you!" Amanda shouted out in unimaginable pleasure as her body shook through the orgasmic climax of pleasure she was having. Her lips were chapped from all the breathing and panting she was doing along with the movement of her hips with his.

Nick continued making love with Amanda as he heard what she said to him - that she loves him, and he slowly came down but still moved slowly. He kissed each breast, his lips moved up the nape of her neck, to her earlobe, and sucking on each one gently. He broke the kiss for a moment as he looked into her eyes. She smiled at him nodding her head as her body moved with his.

Her body glistened with sweat and kissed him. Her hands ran down his back, feeling his soft skin. "Di...did I hear you right? You love me?!" Nick said with a smile on his face. He leaned down just settling inside her body while nuzzling her neck, then back to kissing her lips ever so softly.

Amanda continued moving with him, feeling his love he had for her. Her breath has slowed down, feeling him inside her. She felt his hot body against her skin. She kissed his chest and back up his neck. "Ye...Yes…I love you, Nickolas Amaro!" Amanda shouted a little too loudly when finally, her body shuddered with extreme pleasure letting out a long and a bit too loud moan of pleasure as she climaxed. "Ohhhhhh Nick!"

Nick made small quick movements as he felt an orgasmic climax himself keeping himself inside her for a moment as he made faster movements climaxing again inside her. "Ohhh god! Mmmmmmmm! You are beautiful..." He smiled at her kissing her lips once more.

"Oh my god Nick! You are so hot, and you made my day!" She smiles kissing him back, still feeling him inside her. She still is feeling small little orgasms, as she's never had after-effects like this before.

Hallway

ADA Alex Cabot was walking past an interview room, and she heard someone loud talking in the room she just passed. She was curious, and tried to open the door, but it is locked. "Hello? Is there something wrong? Open the door and let me help you!" Alex shouted out to whoever is in the room.

Interview Room

Amanda jumped slightly after hearing someone from the door outside. As Nick and Amanda, both heard Alex they looked at each other with widened eyes. "Oh my god Nick! Hurry up! Get your clothes on!" Amanda said in a whisper as she tried to push Nick off of her and began to panic.

Nick was pushed off too quickly when he suddenly got a cramp in his groin. "OUCH! Oh my god!" Nick said trying not to say it too loud.

Amanda quickly got off the table sweaty, her body still feeling the intensity she just had but managed to get her clothes back on as fast as she could. "Oh geez, I'm sorry Nick! I'm so sorry!" Amanda quickly gave him a kiss on his lips showing her feelings for him once again. She looked at him with a smile.

Amanda happened to see the table showing the imprint of her backside on the table, so she tried to clear it off. "Oh god, my ass is still on the table!" She chuckled a little but sighed.

Nick quickly dressed as well, still having that awful cramp. "It's okay…I seem to get them often." Nick said with a groan.

"I will fix that for you later if you'd like?" Amanda told him in a whisper. She then went to the door and unlocked it.

Alex pushed open the door finding Amanda and Nick. "Hey is everything okay in here?" Alex looked around the room wondering what was going on. "I thought I heard someone else in here."

Nervously Amanda says, "Oh no, just us, we were looking at our cell phones, and playing with each other…" She just heard herself what she said and cleared her throat. "What I mean is…we were playing a game with each other…" She did it again, and she is so flustered she doesn't know what to say now.

Alex noticed the table, showing a bit of an imprint on it, and could smell the scent of sex in the room, but keeps quiet. She, however, grins slightly as she listens to the excuse they have.

"Amanda means we were playing a game on our cell phones with each other. It's a new game we wanted to try out." Nick said when he happened to look at Amanda and winked at her.

Alex saw his wink and then knew what was up with the two. "Ah, I see now, Does this mean you will need my services? I mean when Cragen fires you for indecent exposure and sexual acts in a government building, going at it with each other – the game I mean." Alex said with a little bit of a grin, and realization. "Didn't you know these rooms have surveillance?" Alex said pointing up to the camera in the corner of the room on the ceiling.

Amanda and Nick's eyes widen with fear now as they both looked up, then looked at each other and took a hard gulp and almost went completely pale. They looked at Alex, and both felt as if their heart just sunk into their stomachs.

"Oh my god! You've got to be kidding me!" Amanda said in a panic.

"We are so dead!" Nick said now starting to pace the room and in a panic.

"No, I'm not kidding, but…." Alex started.

"But nothing! We both are going to get fired for this! Damn it all to hell! All because I love this woman. Both of us are going to get fired for this!" Nick shouted out not realizing his zipper was still unzipped. He looked at Amanda with a horrified panicked look shaking his head. "I'm so sorry Amanda…oh my god!"

Alex laughed for a moment. "Yes, I knew it!"

"Knew what Alex?" Amanda asked.

Alex shook her head. "You two just HAD sex on that table didn't you!?" Alex asked them even though she already knew the answer.

Amanda's eyes widened, then looked at Nick and threw her hands in the air. "Great, thanks, Alex!" Amanda sighed holding her forehead.

"Not only did I know it, but I knew it before I realized it! Um, Nick…" Alex started.

"What now Alex?" Nick asked almost glared at her.

"First of all, I knew when I saw your fly was open!" Alex pointed out. "Second of all, there is an imprint of a body on top of that table. Thirdly, I know what sex smells like in a small room like this. And lastly, the surveillance camera is NOT on. It's only recording if the light is green. It's red you ass!" Alex laughed at both of them.

Nick looked up and saw it's red, then looked back at Amanda, then to Alex. "Damn it, Alex, why did you put us through all that crap if you knew?" Nick said getting close to Alex. "I ought to bend you over this table and spank that ass of yours!"

"Hey now! Backup lover boy…or I will charge you with assault on an ADA!" Alex said with a snicker, though she did raise an eyebrow as she heard him threaten her by spanking her, she did feel a bit turned on by his threat looking into his big brown eyes.

Amanda shook her head and just walked out of the room, evidently still feeling tingling in her body from the incredible sex she just had with the man she loves but is also reeling with anger. She is famished right now as she went to the vending machine and got an egg sandwich, a dill pickle, two bags of chips and two Dr. Peppers for herself.

Nick looked down then quickly zipped up his zipper. "So help me, Alex, if you do anything and tell Cragen, I swear I'll….

"You what Nick? You'll do what?" Alex answered staring at him with the glare of a strict attorney.

Nick looked at her with gritted teeth. "I'll put you over my knee and spank the hell out of your ass!" Nick said pointing his index finger at her face, looking right into her blue eyes, but with a mad glare. But he then walked out of the room in a fury as he was fixing his shirt making sure it's buttoned right.

Alex heard what Nick said and realized his threat was real and thought to herself 'Well, it has been awhile since I got spanked…by a man before. I liked it before; I might again.' Alex then walked out of the room smiling, but still chuckling at them, and herself for figuring it out, and said out loud to herself, "That reminds me I think I will call my girlfriend tonight and have some real fun myself!" Alex walked down the hallway where she was going in the first place before finding Nick and Amanda in an uncompromising position.

Both Amanda and Nick quickly went to their desks as Amanda started eating her sandwich as she was famished now. She smiled at herself and couldn't believe the incredible sex she had with Nick. She turned around after a few minutes when she felt Nick was looking at her again. She turned around, and she was right, Nick WAS looking at her, he smiled. Then she smiled at him right back and with a wink.

Nick was thinking of her and that amazing sex they both had, as he started to do his paperwork he hadn't done in two days. He didn't realize how much there was of it and then sighed, as he began working.

Mercy General Hospital - New York City, New York

Parking Garage

Brian was just about ready to park when he heard on his radio about a continuing story regarding Sargeant Olivia Benson. "Oh god no! What the hell is going on now!?" He said to himself as he rushed to park the car, and after securing it, he rushed to the hospital.

Reception Desk

Brian ran up to the reception desk. "Excuse me. I am the father of Jake Cassidy. What room is he in, please? I will also need to check on Heather Peterson. What is her room number?"

The receptionist looked at him and nodded. She checked the computer. "Your son is in room 201, and the young girl is just a few doors down, room 205," she answered.

"Thank you so much!" Brian said. He ran down the hall and saw his son's hospital room and looked in. He noticed that Liv is not there.

Heather's Hospital Room

He ran to Heather's room. He saw Olivia there with Heather's mom, Angela. Olivia was fast asleep. Brian couldn't wait for her to wake up. "Liv, Liv wake up!" He gently shook her trying not to startle her.

Olivia slowly woke up surprised to see Brian, "Whoa! Brian what's wrong?" Olivia is fully awake, now. Angela, who also was enjoying her sleep, was also startled awake.

"Honey, you have to see this!" Brian quickly turned on the TV news station. "I don't know how they got all this info, but honey, this is not good." Brian sat behind her as the news reporter looked into the camera and began talking about the hospital incident.

"Two weeks ago NYPD Sargeant, Olivia Benson, of Manhattan's Special Victims Unit was shot when a man opened fire on the Sargeant, and her NYPD colleagues, innocent people, and her partner and boyfriend Detective Brian Cassidy. Shots were fired at them, and the Sargeant was hit, this comes only twenty-four hours after her friend, was beaten and raped.

"I'm standing next to the scene where Sargeant Olivia Benson was almost killed two weeks ago. As you can see crime scene tape does not allow us too close. However, even from here you can still see the bloodstains the Sargeant lost." (The camera zoomed into the hospital hallway that Olivia had been laying on earlier that day.) "Also, a 15-year-old girl had a mild concussion. She is the girlfriend of the Sergeant's son Jake Cassidy..."

"How..." Olivia's eyes widen in total and utter shock and disbelief.

"Shhh…" Brian tried to comfort her. Olivia sighed, turning back to the TV to listen to the rest of the details.

"Sargeant Benson was shot in the upper arm. We were told she was discharged from the hospital six hours after that day, today she is doing well. Our sources say that there were two women raped, and Detective Benson's son Jake were victims of a stalking. Her son, Jake had been beaten so severely that he was also at Mercy General Hospital."

"The NYPD SVU police are looking into the beating and stalking. The man, who is believed to be an ex-boyfriend of Angela Peterson, was arrested and would have appeared in court this coming week. As he was arrested, he broke free and injured Detective Amanda Rollins. He tried to run, but was shot down by Officer Nick Amaro."

"Sargeant Benson was shot attempting to save a 15-year-old girl. Some people suggested the shooting of Sargeant Olivia Benson might be linked to the beating and rape of the two women. Some believe the Sargeant and her son were a target because of a family secret. With that, this is Kelly Wilcox, now back to the studio."

The reporter's picture vanished as Brian clicked the remote turning the TV off.

"Where on earth do these people get their information?" Brian asked.

Olivia was in too much shock to speak. Her jaw dropped as she stared at the TV. "Oh, my god Brian!" She looked at Brian not sure what to say to him.

Angela covered her mouth in dismay and utter shock that this information was being broadcast all over New York. She looked over at her sister. "Well um…at least, they don't know what the secret is. That would just make everything worse Liv!" Angela said shaking her head.

Olivia sighed. She began to feel tensed up, and her shoulder started to hurt her as she held onto it.

"Hey Liv, you should take a pain pill. I know how much it still hurts you," Brian told her.

"Yeah, I think I will," as Olivia smiled at Brian. She loves knowing he cares for her in so many ways. Olivia opened her purse and took out her medication. She poured a glass of water and took the pills.

Heather began to wake up and moved around. "Mom… Olivia… I have a killer headache! It is hurting badly. I can hardly open my eyes," Heather told them holding her head.

"Hey, sweetheart. Hold on okay? Uncle Brian is here. I will get a nurse for you. I'm sure we'll get your test results soon," Angela told her as she gave her daughter a kiss on her forehead.

Heather just nodded. She doesn't want to open her eyes yet. Angela left the room to get a nurse for her daughter.

Olivia walked to Brian and whispered to him softly, "Bri, this isn't the time to tell Heather about all this. This would only give her more stress. Please don't say anything, at least not yet?" Olivia asked him. When she looked at Brian again, she noticed lipstick on his neck, that looked like a hickey. She then looked him in the eyes again.

"Okay baby, I won't," Brian whispered. He gave Olivia a gentle kiss, "I will check on Jake. Okay?"

Olivia nodded not sure what she wanted to say, as she sat down on the chair again to watch Heather. "I love you Bri." She smiled a little when he kissed her.

"Love you too babe," Brian winked at her and left the room.

Jake's Hospital Room

A nurse was sitting by the bedside with Jake, reading a magazine and watching over him when Brian quietly walked into the room. "Nurse? How is my son? Brian asked in a whisper.

The nurse stood up and looked at him. "He's doing well, he does have pain still in his ribs, but that's to be expected for the beating he took."

"Has the doctor given him any pain medication?" he asked in a whisper.

"Yes, he has, Jake will be able to go home tomorrow. He can rest in his bed. He will need to stay in bed at home for at least two more days then he can slowly get back to how he lived his life," The nurse told him.

"Thank you so much, Nurse," Brian said.

"You are welcome Mr. Cassidy," the nurse said to him and left the room.

Jake woke up. He is still groggy from the medication he was given. However, when he sees his dad, his eyes light up. "Dad…I'm glad you came," he said to his father even as his eyes want to close again.

"Hey Jake, how's my boy?" Brian asked as he stroked his son's hair and gave him a pat on his forehead.

"I'm sleepier than I am in pain," Jake said, and then he asks, "Can I go home soon? I hate being in the hospital! It always smells."

"Don't worry son, the doctor said you can go home tomorrow," Brian smiled at him. "Mom will be glad you are coming home. I also want to tell you that you will be gaining a sister soon.

Jake looks wide-eyed at his dad, still trying to fight the medication he is on, "What? Mom is...mom is pregnant. Oh my god at her age? Isn't that dangerous?" Jake said worriedly now.

Brian laughed, "No! No son. Your mom is not pregnant! We are adopting a girl. She is 12-years-old. Your mom rescued her a few years back. She thought she would never see her again. Her name is Maria. The court will complete the paperwork so it will be legal.

Jake sighed in relief, "Okay. Well good for mom, and for you. Yeah, mom told me about that after it happened. I do not mind having a sister. What about Danny? Did you tell him about his new sister yet?

"Not yet. However, I will call your brother in a couple of days. But, first after the big surprise, I have for your mom, okay?" Brian told him.

"Okay! Cool! I am curious about what your surprise is for mom. Um, dad? I do want to tell you something that mom and I found out." He turned his head a little away from his dad and continued, "But I'm scared what you are going to say or do. Will you please promise me you won't get mad at me?" Jake asked hesitantly.

Brian looked at Jake with a worried look on his face, "Well, Jake I can't promise you I won't get mad, but I promise to be here for you, you know that." Brian said to him.

Jake sighed a heavy sigh and closed his eyes for a moment. Then, he readies himself. "Dad, when I was getting beaten up by those guys, one of them, threw an envelope with some information in it that well…that has hurt mom and the rest of us pretty much."

Brian looked a little concerned but listened to his son. He does notice that he is having a hard time staying awake.

Jake pulled the envelope out from the drawer next to his bed and handed it to his dad. "These papers that were in the envelope revealed that…," he yawns, "Dad the papers said that mom has another sister. It is Ms. Peterson. Dad! My girlfriend, Heather is MY COUSIN!" Jake turned away feeling sick to his stomach knowing he has had sex with his cousin. "Dad, um…Heather might be…," he tried to say more while struggling with his pain and sleepiness. "Dad, Heather might be pregnant!" He thought this news would be a huge let down for his dad.

Brian looked over the documents and considered what his son has said - he is somewhat shocked but understands how Jake must be feeling right now. He went over and sat in a chair next to Jake's bed. "Jake. I am not mad at you, I might be disappointed, but I am not mad. You know how much your mom and I love you. You made a wrong decision, as we do all at one time or another. However, as for Heather being your cousin, I am not sure what to say. None of us knew any of this until recently. So don't blame yourself, okay?"

Heather's Hospital Room

Olivia and Angela are sitting on either side of Heather's bed looking at magazines while Heather slept. Just then, Dr. Harrison walked back into the room carrying a clipboard with Heather's test results. Her facial expression shows something is happening. Olivia saw this and stood up. Then Angela looked up but does not stand up thinking she will pass out hearing the report. She stayed seated.

"I have the results of Heather's pregnancy test. Should we wake her? Or do you want me to tell you, and then you can tell her later when she is home?" Dr. Harrison asked them. She waited for an answer from either of them.

Angela sighed. "Since I'm her mother, I'll ask you to tell us, and we will tell her later. She needs her sleep. She has had such a not so great couple of weeks. Please, doctor, tell us. Is my 15-year-old daughter pregnant and for how long now?" Angela asked taking a deep breath.

Olivia stood firm and took a deep breath herself. "Yes, please," Olivia said clasping her hands tightly together, hoping her 16-year-old son is not going to be a daddy anytime soon, and with his cousin's baby no less!

"I know this isn't something any of you wants right now, but Heather is pregnant. She's about two and a half months along," Dr. Harrison tells the women.

"Oh no! No! Please no!" Angela is devastated, that her baby is having a baby. Tears ran down her face.

Olivia went over to her sister and hugged her. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Nevertheless, we can get through this! Heather is strong! We will get through this together," Olivia told her sister.

"I know we will. I am just not sure where she gets her strength! I know it is not from me! Must be from you Liv," she told Olivia as she broke the hug.

Dr. Harrison looked at them both. "I can refer you to an OBGYN. She's excellent, and she can get your daughter started on the prenatal vitamins and make sure she remains healthy for this baby."

"Yes. Thank you, Dr. Harrison," Angela said.

"Her name is Dr. Nicole Wright. She is available right now if you'd like to talk with her," Dr. Harrison tells her.

Olivia leaned back into her chair. She looked over at Heather and remembered her pregnancy when she was in college. Now she is watching what her niece is going through. "Thank you, doctor, we will make sure that she remains healthy for herself and this baby," Olivia said with a smile.

Dr. Harrison smiled back and then left the room.
