A/N: Gosh, I am really sorry for being horrible and not posting in months. I've been so busy and had literally NO inspiration for writing period. I've recently gotten back into it, writing short fics and oneshots here and there but haven't posted anything so here's my first post in MONTHS. I will try my hardest to keep up with this story and hope there are still some of you out there reading this! I still have so much planned for these kids, so I'd be so happy if there were still some of you interested in their stories. Again, I'm so sorry for not posting in ages but here goes nothing...

The next day, Melanie and Jeremy were just waking up in their apartment in Providence. Their room was filled with boxes full of their stuff, they were in the process of moving out. Even though they had been married for two years, they hadn't planned on having a baby until after graduating from Brown. Now that Melanie was pregnant though they thought a house would suit them better, so they decided to buy a house in the suburbs. They were excited about this next chapter in their lives, even though it came a little sooner than they had expected.

"Morning babe," he said, with a smile as she woke up.

"Were you watching me sleep again?" She asked, rubbing her still tired eyes.

"Maybe," he shrugged. She laughed. "How are you feeling this morning?" He asked, moving his hands towards her stomach and pulling her close.

"We're doing just fine," she said, with a smile. "Listen, I was thinking," she said. He looked at her. "I know it's early but I feel like with school and the move we won't have a lot of time to do this so, what color would you want to paint the nursery?"

"Well, I mean, that depends…" he trailed. "On if we're having a boy or girl."

"Would you want to find out?" She asked, moving herself closer to him. She rested her hand on his bare chest and her head on his shoulder.

"I don't think we can handle any more surprises right now," he said. She smiled. "So, yeah, I would."

"Me too," she whispered and pecked him. "I can't believe we're having a baby!" She gushed, as she climbed out of bed. She walked into the bathroom and Jeremy lay back down on the bed, trying to catch a few extra minutes of sleep before taking on the day.

A few moments later, Melanie walked back into their bedroom, her face pale as a ghost. She was sobbing and when Jeremy looked down, he saw that her hands were covered in blood. He had enough experience to know what this meant.

"Oh my God, Mel…" He said, barely above a whisper and he shot up from the bed.

"Jeremy," she whimpered, as she fell to the floor. He ran over to her and held her just for a few moments before taking her to the hospital.

Jen sat at her cubicle staring at her phone. Liam was texting her about their plans for tonight and being extra sweet. She smiled as she responded but quickly shoved her phone in one of the drawers of her desk when she saw Marionne walking towards her.

"Hope that boyfriend of yours isn't distracting you, Reed," she said. Jen looked up and frowned at her. "I wanted to apologize by the way," she said, resting her head on her palm. Jen raised an eyebrow. Marionne was no Meryl Streep from The Devil Meets Prada but she certainly wasn't one to apologize.

"Go on…" Jen said, warily.

"I forced you to work with your ex-boyfriend," she shook her head. "I didn't know how much it would hurt you," she said, as she stepped into the cubicle. "It's just… I remember how you were with him. I didn't see much of your relationship but I did see how happy you were," Jen shifted uncomfortably. She hated talking about Aidan, especially with her boss. "I haven't seen that girl in two years."

"He's different now," Jen sighed, reassuring herself it was okay to talk about it. "He's not the same Aidan I fell in love with."

"I realize that now," Marionne nodded. "I just thought I could play matchmaker and get that same girl I had in this office two years ago."

"I'm not her anymore Mar," Jen told her. "It's sweet of you but I am happy, OK?"

"Message received." Marionne nodded. "It won't happen again," she stood up and straightened herself. "And if you ever use the word 'sweet' to describe me again, I'll have you fired and back to Minnesota in a heartbeat, you got that Reed?"

Jen laughed. "There's the ruthless, bitchy Marionne I know and love."

"Much better," her boss nodded, and quickly left the cubicle.

Jen shook her head and turned to the computer. She had just received an e-mail of the full interview with Aidan from Tracy to edit before Marionne got the final copy for approval. She groaned, not wanting to read it but knew she had to.

She took a large sip of her coffee and began reading.

Nora zipped up Emma's jacket in the entrance of their home as they prepared to leave for school.

"Are you excited for your field trip today, Em?" She asked, helping her with her rain boots. Emma's grade was taking a field trip to the Biology center and Nora was asked to be one of the chaperons.

"Yeah!" Emma said, excitedly. "I can't wait to dissect an eyeball!"

Nora raised an eyebrow at her daughter. "Dissecting an eyeball, huh? And who said you would be doing that?"

"Cameron," Emma shrugged. "He said that his class got to go last year and they dissected all kinds of stuff! Like, cow hearts and eyeballs… and frogs too!"

Nora laughed, Cameron Vanderbilt was known for making up stories to get a rise out of her daughter. "Well, I don't know about cow hearts, sweetheart but we'll see when we get there, okay?" Emma nodded.

"What time will you guys be coming home?" Nora looked up and saw Ethan standing in the doorway.

"Shouldn't be later than five," Nora said, feeling the tension between them. She really hated this. "Will you be home by then?"

Ethan nodded. "I'll make dinner, chicken nuggets? What do you say, Em?"

"Yes, please!" She nodded, excitedly.

"You don't have to do that," Nora said. "I can just pick up something on the way home."

"It's chicken nuggets, Nor," he said. She looked at him. "We haven't had a family dinner in a while."

"Right," she nodded. "OK, thanks." She forced herself to smile. "Alright Em, you ready to go?" Emma nodded. "Say bye to Daddy."

Emma hugged her father and he kissed her cheek.

"You be a good girl today, OK?" Ethan said. She nodded. He kissed her forehead. "Love you bug."

"Love you too bugger," Emma giggled. Ethan laughed and watched them go.

A few hours later, Melanie woke up in the hospital and looked around. Jeremy quickly stood up and walked over to her.

"Mel," he said softly, taking her hand in his. "How do you feel?" He asked. She stared at him, blankly. "Do you remember what happened?" She nodded. "The baby, she…"

"I'm studying to be a nurse, Jeremy, I know what happened," she said, coldly.

"I'm so sorry," he whispered, running his fingers through her hair. She felt tears welling up in her eyes. She made herself stop crying and then looked up at him, angrily.

"I'm sure you are," she pulled away from him. He stared at her. "This is all your fault!"

"What?" He backed away, dumbfounded by her words.

"If you hadn't been a stupid, horny teenager and forced me to get an abortion, then none of this would be happening right now!" She shouted.

He stared at her in awe. "What? Mel, do you know how unreasonable you sound right now?"

She swallowed. "All that I know if that my baby is gone, again. And it's because of you."

"You know what? I think you need some time. I'm going home to shower, I'll come back later." He said, heading for the door.

"Don't bother," she spat. He shook his head and left.

Melanie sat in the bed and looked around, trying to understand everything that had just happened. She grabbed a pillow and held it close to herself, finally allowing herself to cry.
