Casey's POV

"Oh." Gabby says backing away.

"That is why you have been acting wierd." I whisper grabbing her hand in my own." Is there more?" I ask studying her face.

"There is." She whispers back looking at me with tear filled eyes.

"Then tell me." I say with a hint of frustration.

Gabby shakes her head and mumbles a ." No." Before pulling the seatbelt across her lap." I'm kind of tired."

"Damn it Gabby." I hit my fist on the dashboard." Why do you continue to lie to me?"

She looks at me with wide teary eyes before snapping back." I never lied."

"But you never told me the truth either." I counter with, in a calmer tone of voice." Just tell me what you want me to know?"

Gabby shakes her head turning her face away as tears fell." It wouldn't be you remembering." She whispers." It won't be your memory of it, just you picturing something I told you." She wipes her tears away looking back over to me." You won't know how you felt, your feelings if I tell you."

"But I know how I feel right now." I whisper rubbing my thumb across her cheek.

"There's a reason why you don't remember." Gabby huffs." And you should go home to it."

"You think I don't want to remember?" I snap.

"Just take me home." Gabby snaps back.

"Fine." I start my truck as my blood boiled from her. How can she be the most amazing person I know and be so infuriating the same time?

I slam the front door to my apartment closed as I walk in a short time later. Why does she infuriate me so much? I take my coat off tossing it on the couch before making my way into the kitchen. I stand in front of the fridge door open looking at what I want before slamming that closed and moving to my coffee pot brewing myself a cup.

I walk into my bedroom coffee mug in hand as I kick my shoes off and take a seat on the side of the bed placing my mug down on the night stand before plopping my head onto my pillow just wanting to sleep this day away. My mind had other ideas.

'You didn't think I left did you?' I see myself holding to coffee mugs leaning on the doorway to Gabby's bedroom, in just my bloxers.

'What?' Gabby propt her naked body up in her bed just covered by a thin sheet, she was beautiful.' I wasn't worried' she says next sounding unconvinced.

I move to sit in the bed next to her.' I told you I wasn't going anywhere.' I tell her before giving her the cup of coffee.

I pop my eyes open jumping out of my bed not even worried about the rest of our conversation. I just grab my duffel bag as I quickly move around my room throwing the most important essentials in my bag before rushing out to the living.

"Where are you going?" Hallie steps through the front door." What's going on?" She eyes my bag on my shoulder.

"Look Hallie." I let out a deep breath." This, us." I waive my hand between me and her." It's not working."

"So your going to her?" She sighs dropping her purse on the coffee table.

"Wait." I shake my head." You knew?"

"She said she wouldn't tell you." Hallie moves to pace the floor running her hands threw her hair." Yes." She stops looking up at me." I know what you two did to me."

"Hallie." I say my anger rising." Why is everyone lying around here?" I shout throwing my hands up in the air.

"I did it for us." She says anxious rushing to me placing her hands on my chest as I look away." I wanted a second chance."

Her words cause me to look back at her." But what about what I want?" I say calmly." Did you think I would never remember?"

"I don't know?" Hallie says defeated looking at her hands on my chest still." I thought you not remembering was your way of regretting it."

I place my hands over Hallie's taking them into my own dropping them near our waists." The only thing I regret is hurting you."

"But you don't regret her." Hallie snaps." That is why you haven't touched me in weeks, your probably still sleeping with her aren't you?" She drops her hands turning her back to me.

"Look Hallie." I snap slightly annoyed." You shouldn't have lied to me, but no I haven't slept with Gabby since I got out of the hospital. Truth is I still don't remember much."

"But you remember wanting her and not me." She snaps." And she lied too, but that's ok cause she's perfect wonderful Gabby." Hallie says sarcastic.

"She lied too." I say disappointed as I move to put my coat on.

"So what are you gonna do?" Hallie's tears spill.

"I don't know." I shrug." But I do know this is not what I want." I waive my hand between us again." I'm sorry Hallie but this is goodbye." I watch her for another second before I sling my bag over my shoulder and turn to leave. As I walk down the front steps towards my truck I reach in my pocket for my keys as my hand crinkles over the sonogram picture.

Gabby's POV

I sit on my couch after crying my eyes out for the past few hours and now I've moved on to my tub of Ben and Jerry's. I'm wearing simple tank top and shorts pajamas covered by my warm fuzzy robe that falls to my thighs. I'm very comftable when there is a light tap on my door. I take another bite of my ice cream before placing it on my coffee table. "Coming." I call out with a huff as I stand and shuffle my slipper covered feet to the door. I unlatch the door not unhooking the chain, opening the door just a few inches.

"Hey." Matt spoke softly as he stood there with his warm smile.

"Hey." I mutter back hiding my body behind the door.

"Can I come in?" He spoke next after we stared quiet for a brief moment.

"Oh." I chuckle." Sure." I close the door to unhook the chain then swing the door open wide for him to step through." Are you hungry? Thirsty?" I ask as he walks through the door eyeing my half dressed body.

"No I'm good." He chuckles lightly as he watches me pull my robe tighter around my chest." I was hoping we could talk?"

"Sure." I motion towards my couch." So what's the bag for?" I notice as he drops it to the floor before sitting.

"Hmm, oh nothing." He glances down at it before looking back at me pulling something out of his pocket." Is there any chance this could be mine?" He shows me the sonogram picture.

My eyes stay fixated on it for a moment before I look up meeting his eyes." It's not a chance." I say as Matt's eyes drop away from mine sadness filling them. I reach over grabbing his hand for him to look back at me." It's not a chance, it is." I say my tears building as a smile spreads on my lips." It is your baby."

"Really?" Matt looks at me with raised eyebrows.

"Really." I let out a soft laugh as my tears fall.

Matt smiles widely his eyes never leaving mine as he slowly reaches his hand on to my robe. With one quick tug he opens it placing his hand on my slightly rounded abdomen. His eyes stayed fixiated on mine almosting asking permission to touch me. I don't protest." It has never been a doubt in my mind, I have always known it's yours." I whisper placing my hand over his still on my abdomen." There hasn't been a Jay since you and I, well." I chuckle." Since the night of the explosion.

"He's not." Matt mummbles." He's not." He says louder looking me in the eyes again." You tried to tell me." He says and then the look in his eye changes. Within seconds he has wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me on his lap as our lips battle for control.

Once we part for air Matt rests his forehead against mine bringing his hand to my cheek." I have one request." He whispers and I wait for him to continue." Let me make love to you? I want to remember everything?"

I let out a soft chuckle as a single tear falls." I have one condition."

"That I'm here in the morning." Matt finished my sentence as he pulls his head back smiling wide." What do you think the bag is for?" He nods to the floor.

"How did you know?" I smile back.

"I remembered." He smiles wider before I crash my lips back to his.
