Jonesy and Tess were out on patrol. Tess had long ago tuned out to what Evan was saying but she could tell something was on his mind- he only rambled when something was bothering him, and he'd been rambling for the last twenty minutes, although Tess had tuned out after the first few minutes.
She'd learnt that it was better to ignore him and let him sort it out. If there was something important he'd say so directly to her.
Anyway she had other things on her mind - what on earth was she going to do? Her life had been perfect- she was married (admittedly to the wrong person, but she was still married), she had a house, she was a sergeant.
Her thoughts were cut off when Evan swung the car off the road and opened his door and got out. That surprised Tess, she wasn't used to him doing anything irrational.
Tess got out of the car after him. Jonesy was pacing uneasily and still rambling. Finally he stopped.
"Basically what I'm saying is we should get married." He blurted.
Tess was stunned! She knew he loved her, he had told her as much a few months ago. But she didn't think his feelings were that deep.
He looked so sincere, she could really find the heart to tell him what she really needed to. An answer finally came out of her mouth, she couldn't remember what exactly but it was something like:
"I don't even know if I'm going to keep it."

Tess spent a lot of time that night trying to work out what she would do. How was she going to tell Josh, who had always longed for kids, that it wasn't his child? More to the point, how would she tell the father she was carrying his bundle of joy? Was she going to have the baby or an abortion? Would he understand and support her decision?
Tess was so wrapt up in her thoughts, that she did not relise the phone was ringing until about the tenth ring. She got up, quite annoyed at being pulled from her thoughts, and answered, thinking to herself that this person had better be calling for a good reason or they'd be missing a head.
The phone call turned out to be a telemarketer. She expected she'd been a bit harsh, poor guy probably hadn't heard such a wide variety of insults for a long time, and might be tempted to never call anyone again, least of all her.
All in all, she felt sorry for him, it wasn't, afterall, his fault she was pregnant to Him, to her collegue, to Evan
