After terror struck our high school in the form of Rick Murray our junior year, Sean and I experienced a rift in our relationship. I didn't see it getting better, only worse. We almost broke up a few times. We even went back to sleeping in different rooms. I suppose it was because of the pain and isolation I was experiencing that made me turn to Craig as a friend, just like it made Sean turn to Emma. We didn't know how to approach each other anymore, and it honestly wasn't until I found out about Mykel that our relationship was "normal" again.

Jay sat quietly in his Civic as he took a sip from his bottle of Jack Daniels. I wish your ass would stop drinking when you have to drive. Jay smirked as Alex's voice flashed through his head. He sighed as he laid his head on his steering wheel. It had been four days since Mykel went into the hospital and she was coming home today. Sean still hadn't forgiven Ellie, and was still staying at Towerz' despite Liberty's objections. At least Sean and Ellie tried to act normal when they were around their daughter. Daughter, Jay almost jumped at the thought. There was a strong possibility that he had one. What if Paige was right about Amy's little girl? He grew angry at the thought that Amy wouldn't tell him about her for five years. Exactly how did she think he was going to react, or maybe it was that she was afraid of Alex? He leaned back as he took one last swig from his bottle and threw it on the back seat. He wasn't necessarily drunk but he was intoxicated enough to not go completely insane.

"Man, she better be wrong about this," Jay said out loud as he got out of his car and slowly made his way towards Amy's apartment.

"I'm coming damn it," Amy yelled as she finished lighting her cigarette and made her way towards the door. She rarely had visitors and was starting by the force of the person knocking on the other side. She almost fainted when she saw Jay the one person she had been trying to avoid. Amy looked him up and down and rolled her eyes. She looked down at her glass of vodka before completely acknowledging him. "What the hell are you doing here Jay?"

"We need to talk." He said as he pushed past her and walked into the apartment. It was a mess. Trash was everywhere and it wreaked of smoke, alcohol, and oddly enough, corn chips. "How can you even live like this," Jay said disgusted as he looked around. "I mean you have got to be kidding."

"It's not like I was expecting company." Amy said as she dragged on her cigarette. "What do you want? We have barely talked in five years and now you just show up at my apartment."

"Mom, can I go out and play please," Taryn asked quietly as she walked out in the living room. It was the first time that Jay really looked at the little girl, and she did look just like him, even if he didn't want to admit it.

"I already told you no, are you stupid or something? Now go back in your room and don't come out until I say you can."Amy screamed almost dropping her drink. The little girl ran back in her room frightened. Now Jay was really pissed, for Amy's sake that better not have been his daughter she was treating like shit.

"She better not be mine," Jay said angrily. "I swear Amy if you haven't told me for five years that I have a daughter-"

"You'll what huh, what would you do." Amy began to cry as she sat down on her couch. "I mean what exactly was I supposed to say, I couldn't afford an abortion Jay, and by the time I had her, you were already back together with Alex. I wasn't going to risk her trying to kill me, and you know she would have tried."

"Fuck Amy!" Jay exclaimed as he pulled his hands through his hair. "You could have at least told me. I can't believe you have my daughter living like this, in this shit hole, while you slut around." Jay was ready to strangle Amy but he had to restrain himself.

"Your daughter, she's my daughter! You don't have anything to do with her and you never will." Amy spat angrily as she stood up and looked Jay in the eye. She had a lot of balls when she was drunk.

"You told me my father was dead," Taryn cried as she came from the bedroom.

"You told her I was dead!" Jay yelled angrily.

"Well you were dead to me," Amy laughed. "Taryn I told you to stay in your room."

"No! I want to meet my dad!" She yelled. Jay looked at Taryn helplessly, what could he do. He wasn't even completely sure this was his child; he couldn't just barge into her life and take over, even if Amy was a whore. He didn't even know this girl existed last week. Suddenly the reality of the situation overcame him. He was wrong for coming, for showing up like this, and he definitely wasn't ready to face the facts. It was too real, her standing in front of him.

"I can't deal with all of this right now," Jay said angrily. "I am going to talk to Marco or something. The last person this girl needs to be with is you." Jay looked sadly at Taryn as he walked towards the front door. Paige was right; it was so obvious that this was his child. He just didn't know how to take it.

"Sean, my man," Towerz said as he came down the steps a few days later.

"Hey T," Sean said as he flipped through the channels.

"Sean, let me ask you a question man." Towerz asked as he sat down on the couch next to his friend. Sean didn't say anything but directed his attention away from the television as he waited for his friend to speak. "Ok, how do I put this? Why aren't you at home with your daughter? Did she or did she not just get out of the hospital a few days ago?"

"You know I want to be there man," Sean started. "It's just whenever I get around Elle, I can't help but visualize her with him." Sean confessed sadly.

"It's time to get over that Sean," Liberty said as she made her way into the living room.

"Baby, what are you doing out of bed," Towerz asked concerned as he got up and helped her to sit down.

"It's not like I can sleep anyway," Liberty said angrily. "Look Sean, we love you but you belong with your family. Ellie has been crying every day. Mykel keeps asking her where you are and she doesn't know what to tell her. Alex and Jay can only hold the fort down for so long." Liberty leaned back as she flinched a little and drew in her breath. "Sorry, Braxton hicks." She said as she focused on her pain.

"Are you sure you aren't in labor for real," Sean asked concerned.

"Sean, I would think I would know if I were in labor for real. I have been having Braxton hicks for weeks." Liberty said with an attitude after the pain subsided.

"I think what Liberty is trying to say man is that you need to forgive Ellie? It's going to be hard but nobody is perfect, it was so long ago." Towerz said calmly as he rubbed Liberty's back for her.

"She loves you Sean. You made her a better person. The shooting was hard on everyone but we were all strong enough to bounce back from it. Seriously Sean, if Alex can forgive Jay than you can forgive Ellie. She has been beating herself up about this for years. She was afraid of how you would take it. Please Sean, talk to her at least." Liberty and Towerz stared at Sean as he thought about his next move. Maybe he should at least hear Ellie's side of the story. That was a crazy period in their lives. They weren't normal again until they found out about Mykel. So much had happened in the four years between the shooting and Mykel's conception. He thought back to his conversation with Jay and it was true, Sean was not holier than thou. He had pushed Ellie away, got arrested, lashed out on people and slept with Emma. It made sense that Ellie would turn to someone like Craig. Deep down Sean had always known, and he secretly blamed himself for it.

"Has she really cried every day?" Sean asked now feeling bad.

"Every day!" Liberty and Towerz said together.

"Auntie Alex, where's my daddy?" Mykel asked as she and Alex watched Lion King that night.

"He'll be home soon Kelly. He just had some things he had to work out." Alex smiled as she ruffled through the little girl's hair. She could only hope that what she was telling the little girl was true.

"Why come Mommy so sad then?" Kelly asked again. She was very bright for a toddler.

"Because she misses him." Alex smiled as she sat up. "Mommy loves your daddy so much that she can barely function without him."

"I'm glad I'm home now. I didn't mean to eat that stuff. Mommy told me not to eat stuff off the floor. I should've listened." It didn't take much for a three year old to change subjects but Alex went right along with her.

"You're right Kelly. You scared us all; you should never put anything in your mouth that we didn't give you. And if you ever see Craig again I want you to scream and run." Alex figured she better throw that last part on. She knew that he was still out there roaming around. He was scheduled to leave Toronto in a few days but she still didn't put anything past him.

"Hello?" Alex and Kelly looked up as they heard Sean call from the back door.

"Daddy!" Mykel yelled happily as she jumped up and ran to the kitchen to meet him.

"Hey princess!" Sean smiled as he picked her up and held her tight.

"Daddy your back to stay?" Sean smiled as his little girl looked up at him anxiously.

"Yeah Daddy are you back to stay?" Alex asked curiously.

"I think I am." Sean said as he kissed his daughter's forehead.

"Go talk to her," Alex gestured towards the steps. "I'll put Kelly to bed."

"Thanks Alex." Sean said as he jogged up the steps.

"Now, if only someone could help me with my relationship drama life will be perfect." Alex said aloud as she picked Kelly up and took her back into the den.

It had been eight days. Eight days since Sean left her. Ellie was running out of ideas, she didn't know what she was going to do, or how she was going to get him back. She had slept every night with his picture and destroyed anything and everything in the house that even remotely reminded her of Craig. She slowly looked up at her wall that would definitely have to be painted over. She sighed as she touched the spot where she had thrown Craig's snow globe. She needed Sean, once again her life was going to change drastically and she didn't know how she would make it without him.

"Hey baby," Ellie looked up shocked as Sean slowly peered through the door.

"Oh my God, Sean." Ellie cried out as she ran to hug him and broke down into a fit of sobs.

"Shhh, I'm here now. I'm so sorry for leaving you and Kelly like that." Sean said quietly as he rubbed her back.

"Sean it was the biggest mistake I ever made. It was when we weren't talking and I was sure that we were going to break-up. I just didn't know how to deal anymore and Craig he was there. He had been in group with me and I should have never done it. I am so sorry. I am so sorry." Sean felt bad as he held Ellie tight in his arms. Here she was pouring her heart out for a situation that happened years ago, that was indirectly his fault anyway. At least that's how Sean felt about it. How could he have exiled her then, he thought to himself. Without even realizing he had done it all over again. Sean sighed as he moved Ellie to the bed and laced his fingers between hers.

"Baby we have been through so much, I love you. I always have and always will ok. I forgive you so hopefully we can move on with our lives. It will be hard but it was when we were dumb and young and after the shooting. I shouldn't have left without talking to you; I promise I will never leave you alone again." Sean smiled as Ellie happily pushed him back on the bed and kissed him. He had missed this and was determined not to let anymore drama affect their relationship.

"I'm so glad Sean, because I really need you now, even more than before." Ellie said as she traced her finger across his chest. She held her breath as he sighed and looked down at her. He had no idea what she was about to say but she knew that if she didn't tell him now she would never get it out.

"If this is about when you start back school, I haven't forgot, we can still work it out." Sean said as he rolled his eyes.

"No -um- actually I went to the University yesterday. I had to drop my classes and get my money back." Ellie said sadly.

"What!" Sean exclaimed as he sat up. "You didn't have to do that Elle, I told you I would support you that wasn't changing."

"Sean I had to drop my classes because I'm pregnant." Ellie said calmly.

"You're what," Sean chuckled. He had to make sure he heard her right. "Did you just say that you were pregnant?"

"Yeah Sean," Ellie sat up as she smiled weakly. "I had thought it for a while but tried to deny it. I went to my doctor the other day and well, it looks like you're finally going to get your wish."

A/N: Oh my goodness everyone, it's so close to the end. How many people saw that one coming lol? Thank you so much for all the reviews. Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you. Next week is just as intense, and we will be that much closer to finding out if Alex will choose Jay or Paige.
