Jess: "STELLA!, I need a doctor here."
Nurse: "What happened to her?"
Jess: "I don't know, i was asking her how Mac was and then she just fainted into my arms."
The nurse called for a stretcher and takes her to get some test done to figure out why she fainted.
Nurse: "Dr. Palmero will also be in charge of her as well. Do you know if she was feeling sick? Has she been skipping meals?"
Jess: "No, not that i know of. Why do you ask?"
Nurse: "Well for faint for not aparent reason, i'd say she's pregnant. But we'll see how the test come out."
With that the nurse left to go and assist Dr. Palmero while Jess just stood there in shock thinking to herself.
{oh my God, Stella pregnant with Mac's baby, and now she has to marry Drew, oh man this is not good, if he finds out he can harm her, possibly kill her too. Oh, I gotta call Don.} Jess takes out her cell and quickly dials Don's number.
Don: "Flack"
Jess: "Don, its me Jess."
Don: "Hey babe, what's up? Is everything ok?"
Jess: "Don, I'm in the hospital."
Don: "Are you ok?"
Jess: "Don, i'm fine. I came here to see how Stella was doing, and I bumped into her on her way out. I asked how Mac was and all of a sudden she got pale and while she was answering me she fainted into my arms. So i'm waiting for the nurse and doctor to tell me whats wrong with her. (pausing for a moment) Don I think Stella is pregnant."
Don: "Pregnant? Are you sure?"
Jess: "Not exactly positive, but its almost sure that she is. I mean you know her and Mac, well, they didn't-"
Don: "Ahh I gotcha. I'll be right over"
Jess: "Ok, i'll be in the waiting area."
Finally after running some test, Stella awakes and finds herself lying in a bed and she looks around.
Stella: "Jess?"
Dr. Palmero: "Ms. Bonasera, how are you feeling?"
Stella: "Dr. Palmero, I- I- um what happened. Why am I here?"
Dr: "You fainted while on your way out, your friend caught you in time before you fell to the floor. We ran some test, and -"
Stella: "Is Jess still here?"
Dr: "In the waiting area, would you like to hear the results? I assure you it's all good news."
Stella: "yes please!" she begged
Dr: "Well, I'd like to congradulat you, you're going to be a mother. You're pregnant!"
Stella: "I'm- i'm what?" she studdered
Dr: (laughing) "Would you like me to have your friend come in?"
Stella: "Yes, please. I need some company."
Dr: "Nurse, can you please tell Jess that Stella is calling for her."
Nurse: "Right away Dr."
Just as the nurse was coming to get Jess, Don arrived.
Don: "Jess, how's Stella?"
Nurse: "She's fine." the nurse interupted
Jess: "Nurse, can we see her."
Nurse: "Yes, you can, but just for a few minutes, then I'm afraid you'll have to leave after that."
Don: "Thank you."
Jess: "Stella, how are you?"
Don: "Hey, Stella, what'd the doctor say?"
Stella: "He said that i'm- i'm p-pregnant!"
Jess: "Awwwwww, I'm so happy for you."
Don: "I'm gonna be an uncle." he said with a big smile and now hugging Stella.
(all laughing)
Don: "when are you going home?"
Stella: "Dr said i can leave tomorrow morning."
Jess: "Are you still going to get married?"
Stella: "For Mac's safety i have to. I have to keep him alive."
Jess: "Yea, but what about your condition, you're pregnant now Stella. Don't want you to lose the baby. Drew can try to hurt you. "
Stella: "He won't hurt me if i marry him. Once i do that Mac can stay alive. Oh i need to tell Mac. I don't care if he is in a coma. He needs to know. I know he can hear me. Jess help me up, I want to see him."
Don: "Stella you need to rest."
Stella: "I'll rest later, i need Mac to know before i go and marry that creep."
Jess: "ok, come on. but just for a few minutes."
While walking to the room next to her, Stella nears Mac's bed and grabs his hand and starts to talk to him.
Stella: "Hey Mac, it's Stella. Just came by to see if you are doing better and to tell you how much I love you. Mac I need you to get better. I have some good news. I'm pregnant Mac, you're going to be a dad. We're gonna have a baby. Our baby Mac. I need you, the baby needs you. Come on Mac, do it for us, both of us."
Little did Stella know that she had someone watching her. Suddenly that person decided to make themselves known and spoke out.
"You're pregnant?"
