'You - You're what?'

'I'm pregnant Shane.' She replied, just as nervously as before.

'Is it mine?' He managed to whisper out.

'Of course it's yours.' Shane could hear tears on the end of the line.

'I'm sorry Helen. I know you wouldn't do that to me. It's just - its just I - I don't know - I - I - '

'Shane…what should I do?' He heard her whisper.

'Don't worry Helen, I'll be right over.'

'OK.'

'Bye.' He said, ending the call.

--

'Shane!' Shane was about to ring the doorbell when the door had opened, and Helen had thrown herself into his chest, crying. Shane just let her cry on his shoulder, while he rested his head on hers.

'Shhhh Helen, it's going to be OK.'

'Why? But - but I -'

'Calm down. If not for you or I, for the baby.' This only made her cry heavier. 'Let's go inside.' Shane pulled Helen into the hallway and shut the door behind him. He brought her into the living-room and they both collapsed on the sofa. Helen placed her head back on Shane's shoulder, still crying.

'What do I do Shane? Should I keep it?'

'Yes. Please Helen, don't kill it.'

'But what do I do? What's going to happen if I do keep it? I mean, what if the newspapers find out? What's going to happen to us? What's going to happen to the baby? I can't give it up for adoption. How would my baby live thinking that it's parents didn't love it?'

'Don't worry Helen. Calm down. You'll hurt the baby.'

'How can you say don't worry? How can you say that it'll be OK? How do you know?'

'I just do! Listen! You have to calm down! I promise you, everything will be OK. Listen, I'll take care of the press. It'll be OK.'

Shane heard her gulp down her tears. 'I'm so sorry Shane! I didn't want this to happen. I don't want this to affect you. I know that the press will crucify you!'

'N - no Helen. This baby is just as much my problem as it is yours. I want to be a part of it's life.'

'Thanks Shane. You're so sweet…' Helen said, leaning in to kiss him, but Shane pulled back.

'Helen, I'm only saying this because I know you're in a vulnerable place right now, and I don't want to take advantage of you. Are you sure that your not just trying to kiss me because you're upset, and that you wont regret this when you calm down?' He questioned, biting his lip and wiping away her tears.

Helen looked up at Shane. 'You're right Shane. I'm sorry, I think that…that maybe we should just be friends?'

Shane smiled. 'Friends.'

'Thanks Shane.' She smiled too.

'I'll always be there for you. And the baby too.' He added patting her tummy.

'8 months to go.' She said.

'And I'll help you every step of the way.' He grinned, and then gasped, noticing his watch. 'Shoot! Is that the time? I have to go. Jason's going to be worried.'

'It's fine Shane. You go. I'll be alright.' She beamed at him as Shane got up and kissed her on the top of her head.

'Thanks Helen. I'll call you tomorrow OK?'

'OK'

--

'Shane?! Where were you? I was so worried! I was about to call the police! Are you OK? Are you hurt? Did you do anything stupid?' Jason said, noticing Shane's solemn look as he walked in the door.

'Helen…she - she - '

'Helen?! Is she OK?' Jason was suddenly alarmed. He hadn't heard about Helen for a week, from when he had found Shane…with the kitchen knife held to his wrist. Jason shook off the thought.

'No - she…she - '

'Shane?' He said clearly. 'Is Helen OK?'

'She's pregnant.' Shane blurted out.

'Oh. Oh no! Gosh!' Jason said and then, noticing someone in the living-room doorway, he quickly added, 'Oh yeah, someone - ummmm - Lindsay is here for you.'

Shane looked up to see a girl that he did not recognise crying in the doorway.

'How could you?!' She shrieked at him.

'What?' He screeched back, genuinely confused.

'She's pregnant? She's pregnant?! What about me?'

'What about you?'

'What about us and our baby?'

'OUR baby?'

'Well, almost!' She screamed, still crying, and now clutching her stomach.

'Our…what…huh…us…you…baby?' Shane stumbled, walking into the living-room and falling on the sofa.

'Lindsay, I think you'd better leave.' Jason said. He had seen and spoken to this girl for half an hour, and she seemed awful. Plus, she had never mentioned about a baby?!

'Fine!' She shrieked at him, stomping out and slamming the door behind her. Jason walked over to Shane and joined him, collapsed on the sofa.

'What do I do Jason?' Shane whispered.

'I don't know Shane…'
