Melissa walked in her room and shut the door. Trish was facing away from the door crying. "Trish?"
Trish turned to face her, "Come here."
Melissa went to her and Trish held her tight. "I know we have our problems right now, but I'm here for you."
Trish smiled, "I'm here for you too. And I want you to answer me one thing."
"What's that?"
"Why did the hell did you bring Dave with? I'm not ready to face him." Trish cried to her.
"I'll tell you if you tell me what's going on between you and Brock." Melissa fired back.
"Only if I get more details about you and Randy." Trish one-upped her.
"Deal, you start." Melissa said to her.
"Brock and I are just friends. Yes I really like him, and we have a lot in common, but I don't know if we would ever want to wreck our friendship." Trish explained.
"Are you guys friends with benefits?" Melissa asked.
"No, we've never even kissed on the lips." Trish said with a laugh.
"Would you want to?"
Trish smiled, "Maybe."
Both girls laughed.
"Ok, tell me why you brought Dave."
"I thought maybe you would want to see him and have him support you through this. I don't know why, I came downstairs and he was in the living room and I panicked and told him that you were sick and needed us."
"Wait a minute, he was in my living room?" Trish asked defensively.
"Yeah, you didn't return his calls, so he was going to wait there for you." Melissa responded.
"Ok, that's creepy. I knew I should have changed the locks." Trish said making a face.
"I know, it startled me too. But he really cares about you Trish. He feels really bad for what happened. His ex has been calling him trying to talk him into getting back together with her and she doesn't know about the baby and he doesn't want to totally lose you unless you tell him that it's completely over and he doesn't have a chance."
"Wow, when did you two get so close?" Trish said with a laugh.
"The car ride here."
"I see." Trish replied. "So tell me about you and Randy."
Melissa smiled real big, "He knows that I turn 18 real soon, and he said that that is fine. We've seen each other once, but we talk every night. And, if he can, he's willing to take me to my homecoming dance!"
Trish smiled, "Oh Missy, that's great. Have you told him about the baby yet?"
"No, I haven't. Trish I don't know what to do. I don't know if I'm ready for this baby. Being with Randy has really made me think. What if he's not ready for someone else's child? Especially one his co-workers?" Melissa said with tears in her eyes.
Trish reached out and squeezed her hand, "What are you thinking?"
"I've been reading a lot about adoption and I've been giving it some thought." Melissa said slowly.
"What about Dave, did you tell him?" Trish asked
"No, not exactly, because I don't know what I'm going to do. Maybe I'll feel differently in a week. Maybe I'll feel better when Randy knows, I don't know. Trish, I'm so confused!"
Trish rubbed her hand. "I hate to do this, but I'm exhausted and I'm starting to get sore. I'm going to take a nap and figure out what the hell to do about Dave being here."
"Trish, I'm sorry, I guess I just wasn't thinking." Melissa said.
"It's ok. Good night." Trish said rolling over and falling fast asleep.
While Melissa was in Trish's room, Brock couldn't hold himself back any longer. "So what are you doing here Dave?"
"Melissa told me about Trish and I wanted to let her know that I'm here to support her." Dave responded.
"Oh, like how you supported her sister awhile back?" Brock fired at him.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Dave snarled at him.
"You know damn well what that means, Jesus Dave you killed her. You took her heart and completely tore it to shreds. She has been so hurt and so heartbroken that there are days she doesn't even get out of bed. And then with her being sick, it's taken everything out of her. She was so close to Melissa, they were more like best friends then they were sisters and you took that away from her. Do you know that she hardly even calls her mom anymore because she's afraid that Melissa will answer and she's so confused she doesn't know how to feel about Melissa? She loves her sister, and she wants to try and help her but yet she's pissed off because the two of you slept together. Have you given any thought as to what this whole thing has put her through? Rather than just how you feel?"
"Brock, you need to stay out of this, it's not your place to be involved. You can just run along back to Nicole and Mya because you're not needed here." Dave said to Brock.
Melissa had started to walk out but she heard the boys going at it. She decided to stand there and listen. Trish turned her head because she hadn't heard Missy leave, "Missy, what are you doing?"
"Listening to Dave and Brock fighting, you know, I would have to say that Brock feels more than friendship for you."
"Why do you say that?" Trish asked suddenly interested.
"Do you feel up to being wheeled over here?" Melissa asked with an evil grin.
"Hell yeah." Trish said. She tried to sit up but it hurt, "You're going to have to help me."
Melissa ran over and helped her in, "we have to hurry, it's getting good." Melissa filled her in on what she had heard so far.
"So tell me, how involved have you been with Melissa?" Brock asked.
"We were together once Brock, however this isn't your business." Dave answered angrily.
"I mean since you found out she's pregnant."
"We haven't been."
"Exactly, you have a seventeen year old girl, pregnant with your child, still in high school, scared to death right now and you haven't even called to check on her. You could be in jail right now because of all of this, but yet your not and you don't even call to see how she's doing? Put yourself in her shoes through this Dave, picture if it was Aly who was pregnant." Brock fired away on him. "That isn't showing responsibility Dave, and Trish sees that.
"Brock, I'm warning you, this isn't your concearn, and if you don't butt out of our business."
Brock immediately interjected, "You're going to do what? What's the matter, afraid of the truth? Are you afraid of knowing that you just lost a woman that loved you for everything you are and everything you aren't, a woman who wasn't judgmental of your past, who took in your children as her own. Trish gave you everything she had, and what did you do for her in return? You hurt her Dave. You hurt her deeply. And I don't think you realize what you had and what you lost. For her sake Dave, move on. Move on to someone who suits you more, someone who you deserve, because you sure as hell don't deserve her after all that you've put her through. She's going through enough right now, she doesn't need to worry about you being here also."
"Fuck you Brock, who are you to talk? You don't know shit about me, so don't try to play the almighty. I'm here because I care about her, and she needs me." Dave argued with him.
"That's interesting Dave, you care about her, but she LOVED you. She doesn't need you holding her back." Brock continued to argue.
"What is your point? Why do you care? You're just a friend that needs to back off, and let her live her life." Dave said taking another step towards him.
"You're right Dave, I am just a friend. But I'm just a friend that truly, deeply cares about her. I worry about her when we're not together because I know the pain that she's going through. And I'm just a friend that will be here by her side through thick and thin because I'm not going to let her go through anything alone. And I'm just a friend that isn't going to let her get hurt time and time again by someone who doesn't love her for the person that she is, the person that she's becoming and the person that she'll be 30 years from now." Brock said stepping towards him, "Now tell me, do you have a problem with that?"
Dave stepped towards him making them toe to toe, "Yeah I do because you're not letting her make her own decisions. I'm going to go in there and we're going to talk, and you're going to deal with it."
"Well then I'll be going in there to see if she wants to see you because if she doesn't then I'll remove you. I don't have time for asshole ex's that don't get the point that they are no longer a couple." Brock growled.
Trish grabbed Melissa's arm, "I'm done. Help me back to bed, go out there and tell them that neither one of them can come in here, I'll let them know when I'm ready. I need to sleep."
"Are you mad at Brock for starting shit with Dave?" Melissa asked her.
"No," Trish said tearfully, "I just need to sleep and rethink some things."
"Are you ok? Do you want me to get someone?" Melissa asked nervously.
"No," Trish sniffled, "Brock was so sweet. I mean the way he spoke, it was like."
"It was like he has closet feelings for you." Melissa answered.
They got to the bed but Trish's pain medication was starting to wear off and Melissa couldn't lift her.
"Go get Brock, and let the two of us be for a moment." Trish said to Melissa.
Melissa walked out and you could hear Dave and Brock still going back and forth. "Boys!"
They both turned and looked "Brock, Trish needs your help." Melissa said to him.
Brock turned and walked into the room and found Trish sitting in a wheelchair by the bed crying. "Trish, are you ok?
"Brock, come here." She said tearfully.
Brock walked over to her, "What's wrong? Why are you in the wheelchair? Did you have to go to the bathroom?"
"No," Trish said with a small smile, "Melissa and I were listening to you and Dave fighting.
"Look Trish, I'm sorry I started a fight with him, but I."
Trish cut him off, "Will you help me into bed?"
Brock picked her up gently and laid her in bed. "I was just trying."
Trish interjected again, "come here." She said motioning with her finger.
He leaned down and Trish kissed him lightly on the lips. "Thank you for defending my honor. You were 100% honest with him, and I appreciate it. But the pain meds are wearing off and I'm tired, so I'm going to sleep through my pain."
Brock was stunned. "I'll let you get some sleep. If you need anything, let me know."
She squeezed his hand, "I will, thanks."

Melissa walked in her room and shut the door. Trish was facing away from the door crying. "Trish?"
Trish turned to face her, "Come here."
