Thanks again everyone for you kind reviews and I hope you will like this chapter with a bit of angst and a Tender mother and daughter moment between Megan and Lacey.

Like I said at the beginning that I have no medical knowledge or scientific knowledge either and if any of you are in the medical profession and I have done it wrong I am sorry about that.

Also I would like hear some baby name ideas if you guys have any and I won't be able to update again until Sunday sometime so this is just a warning to all you faithful readers out there.

Megan stood just staring at the pregnancy test in disbelief that she is pregnant with Peters child.

"How am I going to tell him Kate?" Megan asked as tears started to fall silently and slowly down her face.

"Right, here's what you could do, just tell Peter that you have a stomach bug or infection and then when the time is right tell him but please don't shut him out or ignore him like I know you might do Megan as you always have barriers up around you and you don't let anyone in to help you "Kate said kindly as she rubbed Megan's arms as a calming and soothing gesture.

Megan wiped away the tears and began trying to make her look more presentable as she still had a job to do and she did not want peter to see her like this and then knowing that something is wrong.

Once she was happy that she looked presentable and more Megan like she chucked the test in to the nearest bin and then took a deep breath and then opened the door then closed it again as she wanted to thank Kate for all her help and support at a time like this.

"What's wrong Megan?"Kate asked as she saw Megan pause and turn to face her.

"Nothing, I just wanted to say ... Thank you... for everything" Megan smiled and then opened the door and then left the restroom and headed back to lab 1 to continue working.

When Megan walked in to lab 1 she saw that Curtis and Ethan were still working on Brandon's cause of death.

"Everything alright "Megan finally said as she approached Brandon's lifeless body

"well , to be honest Megan we are stuck on what caused Brandon to collapse and then die just like that" Ethan said sounding unsure and rather child like.

Megan grabbed some gloves and then started to study Brandon's chest only to find that he had bruises as if someone or something had punched him right in the chest and that's when it hit Megan.

"Brandon was playing football at the time right?"

"Yeah, we believe so" Curtis said confidently

"ok, right well he must have taken a rather hard smack to the heart which caused all these bruises we can see and if you get hit hard enough and in the right place your heart will stop just like that and it is more than likely as you do get hit hard in football from players on the other team"

"Right, so that means..." asked Ethan rather puzzled

" Brandon died of commotion cordis , the only heart attack that is untraceable and it is more common with teenage boys who play football , rugby and other physical sports and a teenage boys chest is not fully developed to protect the heart completely so that is what killed this poor boy"

Curtis and Ethan just stood could not believe Megan had just found the cause of death in matter of 5 minutes of being in the room.

"This poor boys family and friends can mourn his death and lay him to rest at last, tell Kate that we have cause of death will you Ethan"Megan said as she finished stitching the Y incision.

Once Megan was finished in the lab she headed to her office when she saw in the break room that peter was sitting there with his head in his hands and a worried look on his face so she quietly sneaked in to the room and knelt down beside him and place a hand on his knee which made him jump and look up to see his Megan knelt down in front of him.

"Megan, what the hell, you have been in there for ages with Kate and you had me worried, are you alright sweetheart?"Peter asked tenderly which Megan knew it was going to be harder for her to tell him the truth when she was ready.

"Yes, peter I am fine well more than fine but don't worry about me "Megan said to peter to soothe him as he looked rather pale with fear.

Peter got up out of the chair and helped Megan get back up and then they walked hand in hand to her office in silence.

Megan decided not to tell peter today as she had been through enough so they sat down in her office finishing the last pieces of paper work on the Brandon Kennedy case.

Kate knocked on Megan's door and she poked her head in when she was told to come in

"Great work today Megan on finding out how Brandon's innocent life was taken away from him cruelly this morning" Kate said with a smile on her face.

Kate turned around and walked back to her office and left Megan and Peter to get back to work.

A couple of days later

Megan still hasn't told peter that she is carrying his child and this particular day Megan built up the courage to tell him.

But I did not go as she had planned. Peter was staying at her house tonight and so they had just got in from a busy day at work and Megan told Peter that she had something that she needed to tell him so he sat patiently on the couch for Megan to tell him what she was desperate to say.

Megan made herself comfortable on the couch and took Peters hand and began telling him her news.

"Peter, I have pretty big news concerning you and me and I am stuck on how to say it so I am just going to come out with it. Ok?" peter nodded in response

"Peter I am pregnant with your baby" Megan said calmly

"What, how the hell ... When did this happen Megan?"

"Well you know we had that one night stand a few weeks ago, well it happened then"

"Oh my god, I can't deal with this" and with that Peter yanked his hand out of Megan's and stormed out of the apartment and slammed the door.

Megan just sat there stunned at Peters unloving response to becoming a father for the first time and from that moment on she decided to raise this baby herself.

A noise was heard behind her so she got up and looked round the apartment and was shocked to find that Lacey was in her bedroom just sitting on her bed in absolute shock.

"Oh my god Lacey, when did you get here?" Megan asked as she walked more into lacey's room rather than standing in the hall.

"I've been here for a couple of hours before you and Peter came home" Lacey managed to say to her mother but not looking her in the eye once.

"How much did you hear of the conversation with me and Peter baby?" Megan sat down on laceys bed next to her and played with her hair like she did when she was young.

"All of it mom and is it true your having his baby?"

"Yes, it is all true and I was planning on telling you that you are going to be a big sister Lace"

Lacey looked at her mother and she felt truly sorry for her as peter had walked out on her and she thought I want to be the best big sister anyone could a have and I am going to be there for mom as no else will be.

"I want to be there with you mom and help you as much as I can and I am sure Peter will come around to the idea Mom"

"I don't think he will baby"

Megan began to sob her heart out and lacey reached out and gave her mother the hug and support she needed that should have been from Peter not her 12 year old daughter.

Aww poor Megan and in the next chapter Peter will come around and Megan won't be raising baby Dunlop-Hunt alone.
