A/N: I'm not sure how I like this one. But the day has been long and it's late and this is what came into my head.

I don't particularly like Terri on the show- honestly, I hate her- but for this idea I had to make her that much more human. I hope you like it!

P.S. My Document Manager is still messed up and writing in HTML is confusing and laborious. I really hope it goes back to normal soon, because this is pissing me off. It's making uploading the drabble so much more complicated. Anyways, sorry for rambling.

Please review!


Terri S. Set after OB/GYN appointment.

She's so excited when she goes in for the appointment. She's so thrilled that she's finally become pregnant with Will's child. The look on his face when she told him was priceless, and she's so ecstatic that he's happy. They're going to have a baby!

The gel the doctor puts on her abdomen is freezing cold, but she's preoccupied with thoughts of what she is about to see. At first she doesn't quite understand, but the doctor spells it out for her. She isn't pregnant. Her heart stops at these words. There must be a mistake; she's never heard of a hysterical pregnancy. This can't be happening.

The tears don't come until after she's left the doctor's office. She's already come to love the supposed child, even if it never actually existed. She feels empty. This isn't a kind of pain she's ever experienced before, and it tears at her heart, pushing against her chest and making her feel as if she can't breathe.

Oh, God. How is she going to tell Will? He's come to love 'the baby' as well; he's so excited, even though it's been almost no time at all since she told him. This is going to hurt him so much. This thought makes her chest throb more painfully.

She plans to tell him. Really, she does. She is going to as soon as he walks in the door. But the smile on his face is so bright; the light in his eyes shining brighter than it has in a long time. She can't break his heart; she loves him too much. So she plasters a smile on her face and promises herself she'll tell him tomorrow.

(She doesn't.)
