Summary: John has been sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison and away from the woman he loves. Trish is adapting to life without John, trying to stay strong for the sake of their newfound love. Can they survive the ultimate test to their relationship, one that neither of them expects or is prepared to fight?

Now I'm broken,
And I'm faded,
I'm half the man I thought I would be:

Why isn't she talking to me? Is there something wrong with the baby and she is just too afraid to tell me? What if I didn't take care of myself properly? She thought to herself as she lay back on the hospital bed like gurney, waiting for just some small word from the ultrasound technician.

Surely if there was something wrong she would have known it by now right? Her body would have told her and all of this could really be avoided. But the longer she lay on the bed, awaiting the words from the technician, she found herself wondering if there were no signs sometimes and that this just might be payback for what happened all those weeks ago.

It had been two months since the kiss her and Jeff had shared and true to her word, there had been no more contact between the two. Not even the phone calls that Jeff had taken to giving her had stopped. She knew that she was right when she promised John that Jeff would not come into their life together when he got out in four months, but it still didn't mean she didn't feel guilty.

Maybe the baby senses my guilt and something had has happened because of it. Maybe this baby and John and I just weren't meant to be.

She didn't want to think this way, all she wanted to do was take a deep breath and hope for the best but when she was in the position she was now, hiding something from the man she loved, she knew that would never be possible. She had gone against everything her heart had believed in when she had allowed that kiss between her and Jeff and she was sure if John knew, he would never forgive her.

"Is everything alright?" she asked, her voice showing the signs of strain as she spoke.

"Everything is more then okay Ms. Stratus. I am sorry for the quietness but I tend to get lost in this when I do it. There is nothing wrong at all. In fact there is something I think you need to be made aware of."

She raised her eyebrows, wondering just what this lady was getting at. What could there possibly be to know about this pregnancy other then that it was fine and the baby was coming alone nicely?

"What is it? What are you not saying?"

"Well Ms. Stratus, I am afraid I need to inform you that you aren't just having the one baby. You are pregnant with twins."

The tech smiled at her while the news sunk into her system. Was that even possible? Was she really having twins with John? Could this just be a very descriptive dream and she was about to wake up from it at any time?

"I'm having twins." she stated, not as a question but as a tool to let the idea sink in her subconscious. She had known always that any pregnancy she could have would be twins, but at now almost seven months along, it was a little hard to accept.

Trish had waited for the ultrasound as she had wanted to find out the sex of the baby at the last possible moment. She never had any worry of anything being wrong so there really was no point to have to pay for something more times then she needed too. Truth be told she wanted John to be there with her when she had the ultrasound but with the news he wouldn't be able to be there, she had gone ahead and done it now. Now she was going to have two babies?

"Are they identical?"

"No they are not identical. Why I can't be completely certain of that without you getting an amnio done, I am placing bets that they aren't identical because one is a boy and one is a girl. At least from what i have been able to surmise on the screen here."

She turned the screen towards Trish then, and finally she was able to let out a huge sigh of relief. There on the screen were not one, but two small babies, growing each and every moment. She had such a well of emotion growing inside of her she wasn't sure if she wanted to laugh or to cry. This really couldn't be turning out any better if she tried.

First John getting released in a six month period, which was now almost half over and then this news of a multiple birth. She wanted him there with her right now and it pained her that he wasn't but she knew deep down the minute she told him this news and showed him the ultrasound pictures, it would all but make up for it.

After getting herself cleaned off, she headed out the door of the clinic with the pictures of their babies stuck to the inside of her purse. She knew where she had to be now and she was not going to waste any more time getting there. She had to tell John the good news, no matter what the fallout. He needed to know he was going to be a father twice over.

Before she could step into her car, the cell phone on the seat started to ring, singing the familiar Bon Jovi song she had fallen in love with. It was John, from the prison, just as the long song indicated and she felt her heart warm at the sight of the name on her phone.

He regularly got time to call now that he had less time left on his sentence and he was now being held in a minimum security lock up and she always felt light headed each and every time he called. She wished she could blame it on the baby, or babies now, but she knew it was all John and the affect that he had taken on her life.

"Hey baby, who do I owe for this call?" she said answering the phone, a smile playing on her lips. Both because of the news she had just received and the news she was about to tell him.

"The paternity results are back on Michelle's baby. Wish I don't want to read then unless you are here with me. I don't think I can do this alone. Can you come?"

"Of course, I'll be there as soon as I can." She hung up the call and took a deep breath as she squeezed herself in behind the wheel of the car. Sure she had gained a lot of weight in the last two months but she didn't care. John told her it made her look ravishing in a way she had never been before. That warmed her heart even though the news she was about to get surely would make that warmth turn cold.

What was the result going to say? Was it going to tell them what they had assumed for months now and that the baby was really his? Or would it give them the best news ever and have it turn out to be Randy's?

Trish knew that whatever way this turned out, life for Michelle was about to get a whole hell of a lot worse before it got better.
