The room was deathly silent. The only thing entering the ears of loved ones was the sound of a clock ticking every second. Adrenaline was pumping as everyone waited anxiously in the bland space. From knees bouncing up and down to the jitter bugs that were located in their hands, the entire Matthews clan plus the Hunter's, Farkle and Zay and even Charlie and Missy waited impatiently for any sort of news. All of a sudden Josh walked out of a pair of double doors to face everyone. As soon as he came into view everyone stood and waited expectantly for him to talk.

Josh's voice sounded very empty, as if all the life was sucked out of him. "There's a chance that neither of them will live," he whispered. He paused for a moment trying so hard to keep the tears from falling from his eyes. Quickly growing angry, he clenched his fists and spoke loudly and harshly. "And this same damn doctor keeps on trying to tell me that we have to wait!" He punched the wall next to him. "Wait for what! Wait for my girlfriend and son to die!"

Josh turned abruptly and started sobbing. "I don't want to lose them," he whispered. "I can't."

Amy ran over to her son and held him in her arms, just as she did when he was released from the hospital when he was born. "Its okay," she whispered while kissing the top of his head. "I promise it'll be okay."

Amy took only a mere moment to turn her head and nodded towards her daughter in-law. Topanga Matthews got the hint and walked towards a set of nurses who were sitting down chatting aimlessly. "I'm Topanga Lawrence-Matthews, New York attorney. It is to my knowledge that you have a pregnant minor back there who is an serious condition. Which can lead to death. If she or that child die, I will press charges and represent myself and any other parties involved and make sure that this hospital's reputation is ruined. Now if you want to avoid all of this I suggest that you find someone immediately who can make sure that this girl and her baby get to live another day." The nurses just looked up at her in fear. "Now," she finished.

Topanga turned back around and looked at her completely panicked brother in-law and then to his very worried mother, to her close to breaking down daughter and her friends, and finally Charlie and Missy. Shockingly enough Topanga didn't even know that Missy and Charlie were in such a predicament when it came to their personal lives, but the looks on those two teens faces spoke volumes for the pain that they felt for Josh.

Missy leaned forward with her elbows resting on her thighs as she covered her mouth in shock. She only emitted a shaky breath as she felt Charlie wrap an arm around her. His frown sketched on his face as a million thoughts ran through his head. "I've never wanted to hold Aaron more in my life," he whispered into Missy's ear.

Missy leaned back and looked over at him. "I know. I just can't imagine what Josh is going through right now. I mean could you imagine not having Aaron? Its really hard to imagine a life without him."

Charlie grabbed her hand and squeezed it lightly. "I couldn't imagine having either of you. Don't think that I don't care about you enough to not miss you." He angled his body towards Missy and whispered so that only she could hear him. "Missy, you never ruined my life. You made it better. You gave me my son and your affection. Whether its friends or more than friends. Missy I care. Don't forget that."

Charlie draped an arm around Missy and pulled her close, not wanting to let go.

Josh slowly pulled himself back together and wiped the tears from his face. "I should get back there," he whispered. "Be with Maya."

Josh turned and started to walk away but first felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Charlie and Missy behind him with apologetic looks on their faces. "We have to go," Charlie began. "My mom has to go to work and we don't think it'll be a good idea to bring Aaron here."

Josh nodded in understanding. "But please," Missy begged. "Call us if anything happens. And we mean anything."

Josh smiled gratefully and turned back around and walked straight through the double doors. Charlie and Missy turned around and started to walk away, but the sound of Riley's voice stopped them. Riley walked up to the pair and turned to Missy specifically. "Thank you," she whispered with a grateful tone. "Thank you for being there for Maya and Josh in ways that I couldn't." She bit her lip nervously and rubbed her hands together. "I hope you don't mind, but Zay told us about your son. Based on what you two did today, I can already tell that he's a great person."

With that said, Riley walked back over to her seat and smiled encouragingly towards the pair. Silently urging them to go on ahead, they'd be fine. So that's what they did. They left that hospital with as much hope as they could muster for that family inside.

Charlie unlocked the door to the house silently as Missy waited anxiously behind him. Once inside, Missy practically ran towards Aaron's room and picked up her babbling baby. Holding him close, Missy whispered sweet nothings into his ear. Charlie walked up behind the pair and smiled and held his arms out for Aaron. Aaron just smiled and cheered happily as both Charlie and Missy smiled through their silent tears at their own family.

Meanwhile, back at the hospital, Josh walked into Maya's hospital room and kissed her hand softly before holding it. Maya looked over towards her boyfriend and held back her tears as she looked into his eyes and spoke. "I'm sorry," she whispered. "I'm sorry for all of this. I'm sorry that you might not get to see your son, I'm sorry that I never said anything about my headaches and I'm sorry that I'm going to end up leaving you so soon, but Josh I promise you that even if I did die today that somehow you'd get to hold him. I owe at least that much."

Josh kissed her hand again shakily and released a quick shallow breath. "Maya," he whispered with his eyes closed. "Don't you ever say that again." He opened up his eyes in a flash and held this painful look in his eyes. "I just don't want to even think of the possibility of losing you. We are going to have this baby, and we are going to move on with our lives. Okay?" Maya nodded. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Missy closed the door to Aaron's room softly and turned her baby monitor on as she walked towards the kitchen. As she walked in she saw Charlie sitting down at the table silently. "I put Aaron down. He went to sleep quickly tonight." Missy set down the baby monitor on the table. She pulled out a chair and sat down quietly. "Did you mean what you said earlier? About caring?"

Charlie broke out of his trance and looked over at Missy. "Of course I did. Missy I don't hate you or think you ruined my life. You only changed it." He looked at the baby monitor. "In a good way." He reached our and grabbed her hand. "Now the only question is if your affection is as friends or more than friends. That's something you need to figure out." Charlie stood up and scooted his chair underneath the table. "Because I already know my answer."

The waiting room was deathly silent. Lucas and Riley held each other's hands as they kept quietly to themselves. Thinking about the current situation. Lucas squeezed her hand lightly and looked over at her. "Are you okay?"

Riley just stared ahead with this empty look in her eyes. "I shouldn't have treated Maya the way that I did," she whispered.

"And how was that?" Lucas asked.

"The entire time she was trying to enjoy being herself before her entire life changed, and somehow I always found a way to remind her that it was going to change. I never let her enjoy anything," Riley concluded. "I'm a horrible friend. I never even tried to understand what she was going through."

Lucas shook his head. "Riley you are not a horrible friend. You're an amazing one at that. How many friends would have stuck with their friend through a hard time like this?"

"Not many," Riley answered timidly. "But I can't help think that the last time I even had a real conversation with Maya, we weren't even really acting like friends. I just don't want to lose her Lucas."

Lucas sighed and wrapped an arm around Riley. "Neither do I."
