"If you do that, you'll regret it the rest of your life!" Todd said.
"Oh, that's rich coming from you!" Tess said.
"Look, I know I'm probably the last person who should be giving you advice but, when Blair lost our second child, it devastated us, and you may come off all cool and collected but I know Jessica is a part of you and you her and I know she wants this baby and I have a feeling you do as well," Todd said.
"It's not that simple," Tess said. "It's not that complicated either," Todd said.
"Look at me, do I look like I could be someone's mother?" Tess asked.
"Yeah you do. You're not all self-centered, Nash is proof of that; you fell in love with him and I know he did as well. Why else would he hit me, except to protect what he so obviously loves?" Todd said.
"You think so?" Tess said. "Tell him about the baby, and even if he freaks, which I doubt, you can still have the baby without him," Todd said.
"How would I take care of it, I can barely manage myself," Tess said.
"I'll help you, look, when Starr was born, I was scared of her. I couldn't hold her for fear of hurting her, but most importantly, I loved her and I also had never been responsible for anyone but myself and here was this little being who depended on me, and I swore I would do anything for my family," Todd said.
"Maybe you're right, and you'll never hear me say that again," Tess said.
"Of course I'm right, I'm your uncle," Todd said.
"Let's stop talking, we're about to bond, it's making me nauseous," Tess said.
"That's not us talking, that's your baby," Todd said as he got up to leave the room. "Todd?" Tess said.
"Yeah?" Todd said as he turned around. "What did you do to Mitch?" Tess asked.
"Let's just say he won't bother anyone else ever again," Todd said.
"Thank you," Tess said.
"Talk to Nash," Todd said as he left the room. Once gone, Tess got off the bed and started to get dressed to leave. The doctor came in and said she should wait a few days before leaving. Tess refused, she wanted to talk to Nash right then. She found out from one of the nurse's that Nash had asked where the train station was, he obviously was headed back to NY.
