A/N: Yay, I am almost done with my papers! Only two more to go Thank you

this stressful week. So yeah, this is going to be short, but I am running

I love you all so I am writing anyway. Some notes to the lovely reviewers:
Shadw: Thank you and I look forward to yours! Keep reading!

TJ drove down to the hospital, a full two and a half hours earlier than he was supposed to. He had told the school officials that he was feeling sick and was going to the doctor to try and figure out what was wrong. It was technically not a lie, he really was seeing a doctor, but not for him. He just hoped that Spinelli had given some thought to what she wanted to do with the baby and that she made the right one. As much as he wanted the baby, TJ could almost understand why she would want to have an abortion. She was scared, and had gone through more drama in the past several months than most people went through in their lifetime. Being pregnant would only add to the stress, and the fact that she was only seventeen didn't help matters any. But that didn't mean he agreed with the decision. After all, he was partially responsible, since he was the one who impregnated her and was too caught up in a flurry of hormones and passion to even consider the fact that they should have used protection at the time. Not that he carried that stuff around with him anyway---he was the one everyone saw as a brother, not the one people wanted to have sex with--- plus he had always figured that nothing would happen the first time.
"Man, am I stupid!" he thought as he parked his car in the hospital parking lot. As he walked into the building, his mind was spinning with statistics he looked up on the Internet the night before after his parents had gone to bed. He had learned that the odds of teen parents staying together were slim to none, and that even if they did, they usually wound up unhappy. He also discovered that if that kind of situation were to occur, the child would end up suffering the most. (Thank you for those stats, Lockdown) Those statistics put a damper on his fantasy of him and Spinelli raising their baby together, eventually getting married and having the kind of family Spinelli deserved to have, but he was still willing to try and stay with her and help her raise their child the best they possibly could. TJ walked down the hall and into Spinelli's room, where he found her deeply engrossed in one of her soap operas she watched whenever she had the chance.
"Come on, Edmund, you can't have the surgery!" Spinelli yelled at the TV, not noticing TJ's presence.
"So I take it this is the new story line, now that they revealed Bianca killed Michael Cambias, huh?" TJ asked from the doorway, smiling at her.
"TJ! You scared me!" Spinelli gasped as she finally noticed her boyfriend. "And yes it is, come and join me, so I can help you understand the world of soap operas." She patted the space next to her and motioned for TJ to join her. As he settled down next to her, he gently put his arms around her, careful not to unplug her food IV.
"You feeling better today, baby?" TJ asked her as she leaned on his chest.
"A little," Spinelli answered, deciding not to tell TJ about her near relapse and about feeling the baby kick for the first time. She saw no need to worry him, let alone get his hopes up, because she still was confused as to what to do about her current situation. Instead, Spinelli just cuddled with TJ on the bed and watched the TV. She eventually dozed off, leaving TJ unable to move, yet he was happy to be so close to her. He turned his head carefully checked the clock and noticed that they were meeting with Dr. Carter in about a half an hour. Smiling down at his sleeping girlfriend, he gently shook her shoulder, knowing that it would be awhile before she woke up and acted like a coherent human being.
"Spin, baby, it's almost time to meet with Dr. Carter," he whispered in her ear.
"But why are we meeting him?" she mumbled drowsily, moving closer to him.
"We need to check on the health of the baby," he reminded her. "He is going to tell us that the baby is going to be ok, and live a long, healthy life. He is going to help us have a chance at being a happy family together, all three of us!" TJ gently traced his finger around Spinelli's belly, smiling at the thought of the life they had created together—a life that was living inside someone who was too scared to let it live---or so he thought. He wanted to ask her if she had given any thought to what she wanted to do, but now was not the time. Not when Spinelli was tired and still semi-out of it. He figured he would bring it up when the visit with Dr. Carter was over, hoping that some good news from the doctor would help her make the right decision.
"Oh, yeah," Spinelli said sleepily, struggling to sit up. TJ couldn't tell, but it looked as if she was smiling at the thought of the baby. Was it a sign that she made her decision? TJ hoped it would be one he wanted to hear, but didn't want to get his hopes up until they talked.
"Let's hope it goes well," TJ told her, kissing her. to his surprise, she had kissed him back, and they were so into each other that neither one noticed Dr. Carter walk into the room until he cleared his throat.
"You guys, I know you are together and love each other, but that kind of behavior is kind of what got you here in the first place," he teased, causing the two teens to blush like mad.
"Sorry, Dr. Carter," the both stuttered, trying to avoid any further embarrassment.
"It's ok, I was young once too," he reminded them with a smile. "Anyway, I am here because it is time for Miss Spinelli's appointment."
A/N: that chapter kind of whomped, but I am beyond exhausted and stressed out right now, so I did the best I could. What do you think will happen next? What will Spinelli's decision be? Find out next time! Please r/r, but keep my golden rule in mind as you do so! Happy reading!
