Two days later.
It was past midnight. Jessica was in her bed, trying to get to sleep. However she was unable. Her mind was thinking up crazy ideas and the howling of the wind wasn't helping. After a few hours the sun began to rise. But she realized that even though the sun was up, her parents weren't. She got out of bed and ran to their room. She stood next to Nick and nugged his arm repeatedly.

"What?" Nick said without opening his eyes.

"Can I sleep here?" she asked, Nick nodded. She got in bed, between her parents.

"It's 5:30 in the morning, Jess. If you make any noise I'll kill you." Nick whined. She just lied there wide awake. Two hours later, Dana woke up. She was suprised to see Jessica next to her, wide awake.

"What are you doing here?" she asked

"I couldn't sleep in my bed."

"And why aren't you asleep in mine?"

"I can't go to sleep, period." Jessica answered, Dana got out of bed.

"Okay, well..."

"Mommy?" Jessica whispered while still under the covers of the bed.

"Yeah?"

"I have to talk to you about something." she said, Dana stood there waiting for Jessica to get to her point.

"I'm listening Jessica."

"What happens when Jane and Tim are out of prison?"

"That's not happening for like 15 years."

"What if it happens now?"

"It won't."

"Well, it has. They escaped from prison. I heard it on the news yesterday at grandma's house."

"Jessica... are you sure?"

"Yeah I'm sure. That's like asking me if I'm sure that I'm not a dog."

"This is a really bad time for sarcastic comments, Jess." Dana noted

"I haven't been able to sleep all night. What if they come here and try to take me? I don't want to go, I like it here. I like having actual parents and a little sister, and my own room and..." she listed in a panic.

"Hun, calm down. Nothing will happen, everything will be fine."

"How do you know that? What makes you think that they won't break in and kill me?"

"Jess maybe you missunderstood the news. It isn't easy to escape from prison. That can take years of planning and effort."

"How would you know!?" Jessica raised her voice.

"I'm an ex-convict who was arrested for murder!" Dana yelled back sarcasticly "I just know."
Jessica pulled the covers over her head as she begun crying underneath them. Dana pulled the covers off, and sat next to her.

"I'm sorry for yelling. I was joking, you don't have to cry. I know you're worried, but you shouldn't be. Your father and I will do anything to protect you. Do you understand me?" Dana explained, Jessica nodded as she wiped her tears away. Dana she remained in Dana'a arms until she stopped crying.

"Do you have to go to work today?" she asked between her sobs

"Yeah, I do and you have to go to your grandmother's house. Daddy and I have a double shift so you may sleep there."

"Okay." Jessica agreed as she tried to get over her thoughts of abduction.
Later on that day. It was almost seven. The RWHC had was completly empty. Lu and Dana were sitting at the front desk updated their schedule. A young boy walk in.

"Does Dr. Nicholas Biancavilla work here?" he asked quietly

"Yup." Lu answered "Why do you need him?"

"I'm doing a project for school and I need to interview him."

"Why would you need to interview him?" Dana asked curiously "What's the project about?"

"It's a family tree."

"Are you one of his cousin's or something?" Lu asked

"No, I'm his son." he answered, Lu glared at Dana.

"What?" Dana asked in disbelief. Peter walk past them. "Peter on you on your way to the ER by any chance?"

"Yeah." he answered

"Will you tell Nick to get his ass here right now?"

"Sure." Peter said and ran off.

"What's your name?" Dana asked

"Brad Thamos."

"Wait, how old are you?" Lu asked

"11."

"Nick's 27. So he was 16 when, but 19 when he met you. So..." Lu thought carefully and laughed "This is going to be intersting."
A minute later Nick came.

"What? " he asked

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Dana asked

"Not really." he looked at the boy.

"Nick, this is Brad. He has 23 of you chromosomes." Lu said sarcasticly, Nick thought for a breif second to process the information.

"My what? Dana and I don't have a son."

"No we don't have a son, you have a son." Dana explained

"That's just not possible." he thought. "What makes you think I'm your father?" Nick asked the kid.

"We're doing a family tree project for school. So I needed to know who my father was, I asked my mom and she said 'Nicholas Biancavilla.' So I looked up the name and there was only one in all of America. "

"Who's your mother?" Lu asked

"Sarah Thamos, you went to school togther."

"Sara, and I never. I don't remember us..." he looked at Dana

"Dr. Biancavilla, I just wanted to ask you a few questions. I don't expect you to take on any parental duty. If this kinda of a shock, I know. If you want I can come back tomorrow."

"Yeah, that's a good idea." Nick agreed. The kid walked to the door.

"See ya'." he left. Both Lu and Dana were staring at Nick waiting for an explanation.

"I don't know what to tell you. I haven't ever done it with anyone other than you." Nick reassured Dana. "I don't think Sara knows the right father, she just randomly picked me. I have to talk to her."

"What makes you think we're going to buy that story?" Lu asked with a gaint smile. "I have the funniest feeling that you're going to be locked out of the house tonight."

"Dana, you have to believe me. I've told you everything about by past. You knew about Sara."

"The only thing you told me abour her was that she took your CD player.You never mentioned that she took your sperm too."

"Am I right? Is he going to sleep in his car?" Lu asked Dana in an excited tone. "Will you take pictures?"

"Lu, Shut up!" Dana yelled. Nick sensed the anger in Dana's tone.

"Babe, I love you. Have I told you, you have the most bueatiful eyes I've ever seen." he tried to kiss up.

"Stop ass kissing." Dana suggested "How can you have a son?"

"I don't know. You're the only person I've ever been with. His mother is lying. I'm not that kid's father. I can't be. I've never even kissed her. I need you to talk to her, we have to do it togther, please."

"Okay." Dana agreed "Call her, see if she's willing to come."

"Where the hell am I suppose to get her number?"

"Here you go." Lu handed him a peice of paper with numbers on it. "I just looked her up online." Dana grabbed the paper dailed the number and handed the phone to Nick. He waited for her to answer the phone.

"Hello?" a vague voice was heard through out the room.

"Hi. Is this Sara Thamos?"

"Yes."

"I'm Nick Biancavilla, we went to school togther."

"Yeah, is Brad with you?"

"He left. I wanted to talk to you about him. Is there a way you can come down here?"

"Where?"

"I'm at Rittenhouse, we can meet in the RWHC. If your nearby I think we should sit down and talk."

"Yeah, I'll be there in like twenty minutes."

"Okay. See ya'" he hung up."She's coming."
Half an hour later Nick and Sara were talking in Dana's office. Nick wanted Dana to be there but she was saved by the bell due to a page from the ER.

"How old is Brad?" Nick asked in effort to break the akward silence,

"He's 11."

"And why didn't you tell me you were pregnant, when you were? "

"I don't know."

"Are you sure I'm his father? I mean we've never..."

"Yes, we have. Once, then we broke up." she stopped as the door cracked open. It was a tiny opening throught which Dana could only see Nick.

"Throw me my hair thingy." she told him, he threw it to her. She threw her lab coat to him. "Hang it." she said and left.

"Dana!" he yelled after her. She came back to the door. "Come inside, Dana." he said and pulled her in.

"Hi." Dana said as she noticed Sara in her office.

"Sara this is my wife, Dana. And I've told you about her so.." he interdouced

"Hey." Sara said "I didn't know you were married."

"I got married 4 years after we broke up. I have two girls so it's hard to believe I have a son."

"How could you have gone to school togther and not have noticed that she was pregnant?" Dana asked

"I don't know I never paid attention I guess."

"Look, I don't what Brad and I to ruin your marriage. We don't expect anything from either of you. He just wanted to meet you."

"Our marriage is fine. We've gotten through alot and we'll get through this." Nick thought

"Our marriage has nothing to do with this. It's Brad. You have a son, you have to think of him." Dana told him "We've seperated twice in seven years and we even filed for divorce. For god sake we got back together four days ago. Our marriage may or may not get through this but your son... We really have to talk about this when you get home." she left, he sighed

"Sara, can we run a DNA test. I just want to make sure it's true. I'm having a hard time believing it."

"Do it, Nicholas." Sara agreed
