Ch 2:
" ... could you on your way an get one of those home pregnancy tests... I think I'm pregnant."
Emily paced around the study as she recalled the conversation she had with Liz earlier and she knew this time that there was no hiding what happened this time and that she would have to tell Elizabeth the whole truth about the rape and she couldn't deny it anymore.
When Elizabeth walked into the study she found Emily pacing back and forth running her hand through her hair, something she did whenever she was worried or scared. Emily turned around and ran over to Elizabeth.
"Oh Liz this just can't be happening, I can't be pregnant, it will just ruin everything. I can't deal with something like this right now, not without Nikolas, and I'm going to have to tell Nikolas about everything and..."
"Em calm down. Stressing out isn't good for you weather you are pregnant or not."
"You don't understand. I can't be pregnant not wit... with my rapist's baby."
" Why don't you take the test I bought you there may not even be a baby to worry about."
"Okay" Emily responded as she took the test from Elizabeth and went into the bathroom
5 minutes later
Emily walked out of the bathroom practically shaking. Elizabeth quickly walked over to her and steadied her while she led her to the couch to sit down.
"Its positive Liz, What am I going to do? I told you Luke's plan was bad idea. I knew we shouldn't have tempted fate and that it would screw up Nikolas and my plans to a have a real baby of our own..."
"Em calm down is there any chance at all that the baby could be Nikolas?" "Well yeah we had that conjugal visit right before the ... before I went to the safe house"
"Okay then there is a chance that Nikolas and you can still have the family you guys always want"
" But nothing will ever be the same for us again"
" Well why don't you wait if you are pregnant you have 9monthes to start working through everything. Right now you have to make an appointment at the hospital to make sure this test is correct."
if any one forgets the converstation that emily and elizabeth are talking about in the chapter its from Jan 12 2005
Elizabeth: It's obvious you're upset about -- about the pregnancy. Do you want to talk about it?
Emily: Yeah. You know, Luke said that we should be careful about talking in public.
Elizabeth: No one can hear us. I'm really worried about you.
Emily: The truth is that, you know, a baby would be a blessing, Elizabeth. I'd love to be pregnant. You know, and even if Nikolas and I can't raise the baby together, I'd have a piece of him with me every day until he's free, you know? But this plan of Luke's, it's like I'm tempting fate in a bad way or something.
Elizabeth: Like you're jinxing yourself for when you really do want to get pregnant?
Emily: You know, stranger things have happened. I mean, our lives have been so crazy, Elizabeth, and Nikolas is in prison, and we're talking about a life that he and I would create, and that's sacred.
Elizabeth: Yeah, but if you go along with Luke's plan now, then Nikolas will be free to have the family you want
