"Gaby, thinks she might be pregnant. What if she is? I'm not ready to be a dad." Rob replied. "Don't worry, man, everything will work out. You really love

Gaby, don't you?" Jamal asked. "Yeah, I know it's really early to think about this, but I want to marry her someday." Rob told Jamal. "Wow, that is

serious. So you're ready to marry her, but you're not ready to be a dad?" Jamal asked. "Y..." Rob began, but turned around hearing someone behind

him and Gaby running away. "What's wrong with, Gaby?" Jamal asked as Rob took off after her. "I think he over heard what you and Rob were saying.
I warned him not to hurt her." Alex said. "Whoa, Alex, hold on. Rob, is not trying to hurt her." Said Jamal. "How do you know?" Alex asked. "Because

Rob told me how much he loves her." Jamal replied. "What exactly did Rob say?" Alex asked.

MEANWHILE WITH ROB AND GABY

"Gaby, wait." Rob said finally catching up to her. "What? I heard what you said." Gaby told Rob. "Did you hear all of it?" Rob asked. "No." Gaby admitted.

"I said I love you, but I don't know that I'm ready to be a father." Rob told her. "Oh, are you going to break up with me if I am pregnant?" Gaby asked fearing

the answer. "No, of course not." Rob said taking her hands in his own. "I'm sorry that I jumped to conclusions." Said Gaby. "Are we okay?" Rob asked.

"Yeah." Gaby replied as sh kissed him on the lips.

That's when Lenni and Calvin came walking up. Lenni noticed Gaby had been crying.

"Is everything okay?" Lenni asked. "Yeah, why do you ask?" Rob asked. "Because it looks like Gaby has been crying." Lenni replied. "I overheard

something Rob said to Jamal and jumped to conclusions." Gaby replied as Alex, Tina and Jamal walked up. "Hey, Gaby, remember when we first

met?" Rob asked. "Yeah, I said, 'So this is Rob.' Why do you ask?" Gaby asked. "I was just writing a story about when we first met." Rob replied.

A couple of weeks passed and Gaby bought a prenancy test. Fearing the answer, she followed the instructions. After a few minutes she read the

results. Postive, she was pregnant. Gaby began to sob and ran to her room falling on her bed.

"Gaby?" Rob said as he entered her room and found her. "What?" Gaby asked still sobbing. "What's wrong?" Rob asked. "I...I just took a ho...home...

pregnancy test. I'm preg...nant." Gaby sobbed. "Okay, are you sure?" Rob asked. "Go look for yourself." Gaby told him. "How about we go look

together?" Rob suggested. "All right." Gaby reluctantly agreed.

Rob and Gaby walked into the bathroom and closed the door. Rob picked up the test and looked, while Gaby closed her eyes and hoped she

wasn't pregnant.

"Positive." Rob finally said. "Oh no." Gaby said tears welling up in her eyes again. "It will be all right." Rob said siting next to her and putting

a reasuring hand on her shoulder. "How will everything be all right? How will I..." Gaby began when there was a knock at the door.

Rob opened it and there stood Mrs. Fernandez.

"What's going on in here?" She asked, then noticed the test in Rob's hand. "Mama, I'm pregnant." Gaby said, not looking at her mother. "Remember

I told you the guy that raped me might have gotten me pregnant?" Gaby asked. "Si." Mrs. Fernandez said nodding her head. "Well this test says I'm

pregnant." Gaby said still not looking at her mother. "We'll talk about this at a family meeting tonight." Mrs. Fernandez told Gaby.
