Sam had just told John that they have a daughter. She couldn't believe she finally said it.

"What?" He said looking at her confused. "What do you mean we have a daughter?"

"A month after we slept together I found out that I was pregnant."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was scared and confused." "I didn't wanna ruin your future or your friendship with Randy."

"So you knew you were pregnant before you left for London?"

"Yes."

"You should've told me."

"I know." "I'm sorry."

"So wait." "Where is she?"

"I gave her up for adoption."

"What?" "Why?"

"I didn't know what else to do." "It was the hardest decision I've ever made."

"How could make a decision like that without telling me?" He said angrily.

"At the time I knew if I did you'd try to make me keep her."

"Damn right I would've."

"I wish I would have I've regretted it every day since."

"I would've helped you." "I would've been there."

"John at the time we both would've been unprepared to raise a baby." "We would've had no money and no way to support her."

"I would've gotten a better job."

"That's another reason I didn't tell you." "I didn't want you to throw away college for me."

"College wouldn't have mattered to me had I known we were having a baby."

"You would've stayed in Bedford and got some job you weren't happy with."

"I would've been happy because we would've been a family." "I would've asked you to marry me."

"I didn't want what happened with my mom and dad to happen with us." "Right before I graduated she told me that the reason they fought all the time is because my mom got pregnant in high school." "My dad gave up a college scholarship and asked my mom to marry him." "They were happy for awhile but eventually he grew to resent and hate her."

"When are you gonna realize that you're not your mom and you can make your own choices?" "What's our daughter's name?"

"Isabelle."

"Isabelle what?"

"I don't know." "I wasn't allowed to know the adoptive parents last names."

"She was born in London?"

"Yes." "I know you're mad and you have every right to be." "I'm sorry."

"Sam not only did you give away our daughter without telling me." "It took you ten years to say anything." "That tells me you don't care about me at all."

"No." "John I love you."

"Did you get to spend any time with Isabelle?"

"A few days in the hospital before I could sign the papers."

"That's more time then I got to spend with her."

"John I'm sorry."

"Sorry doesn't change the fact that I have a daughter that I'll probably never meet thanks to you." "You giving up the baby had nothing to do with me." "It was about what you wanted." "You wanted to be a doctor." "You wanted to be with Randy." "You couldn't let our baby get in the way."

"No." She said with tears in her eyes. "That's not true."

"Congratulations Sam you got exactly what you wanted." "You're a doctor and you're married to the man of your dreams." "You don't have to worry about me anymore." "Go ahead and be with someone who obviously doesn't give a damn about you." "I want you to leave."

"John please, I love you, I'm sorry."

"Leave."

"Ok." She got up and dressed.

"Oh and don't worry I won't tell anyone about our daughter." "Goodbye Samantha." She left.

The next day she was at work on her lunch hour. She felt terrible. She knew AJ was on her lunch break to and decided to give her a call.

"Hello?" AJ said.

"It's me."

"Sam what's a matter?

"Last night while I was in Boston I ran into John." "I told him about Isabelle."

"What did he say?"

"He was mad." "He hates me."

"I'm sure he doesn't hate you."

"He said I gave up Isabelle for my benefit." "That's not true."

"I know."

"I knew I shouldn't have said anything." "It's just that after we slept together-

"Wait?" "What?" She said shocked. "You slept with him?"

"Yeah." "I know I shouldn't have." "We discovered we were staying at the same hotel, the same floor." "He invited me into his room." "I went in." "I told him about Randy." "We talked about that for awhile." "When I went to leave he walked me to the door." "We hugged." "Then he kissed me." Then one thing led to another." "It felt nice to feel that someone genuinely loved me." "Now that's gone." "The only things I have left are my boys."

"Sam all that was a lot to process for John." "Maybe he just needs time."

"I don't think so." "I gotta get back to work."

"Ok bye."

"Bye."
