A/N: That was an epic last chapta! i hope you ENJOY! please leave me some comments/reviews!
Weeks had passed and they had decided to keep it from Cal. She said she would tell him when the time was right. But now... Emily was having stomach problems and she wasn't sick. She hadn't been around her father at all, who was doing horrible by the way. There was only one explanation for her problems.
Gillian stared at Emily. "A-Are you pregnant?"
"I can't be..." Emily said worriedly.
"There's only one way to find out..." Gabe said, looking at Gillian.
"I-I have s-some..." She said, still completely shocked. She ran upstairs and grabbed a couple testers. She was quickly downstairs and placing them in Emily's hand.
She took them and went into the bathroom. She set the little white tester on the counter and they all stared at it intently. "Will there be a plus or minus sign? Or a line or two lines?" She asked Gillian nervously.
"Plus or minus sign." Gillian said, staring at it.
Gabe put his arm on Emily's shoulders and she wrapped an arm around his waist. A small plus sign began to appear and they all gasped. "How did this happen?" Emily screamed, beginning to cry. The tried three more times and everytime there was a little blue plus sign.
Gillian pulled her into a hug and kissed her head. "It's okay... I will help you through this. You can both stay here tonight and I will tell your dad in the morning."
"Thank you so much Gillian." Emily said, tightly squeezing her.
"I can, uh, take the couch." Gabe muttered, watching them hug. He walked over to Emily and kissed her. "This is all my fault... I shouldn't have asked you to come... Seriously Em... I will be here with you... all the way through and I-I can be the father if you want... I am totally here... I know I haven't known you for very long, but just let me know what I can do... and I will..." He said, holding her hands.
"I want you to not feel guilty... I should have gone with you to meet your friend..." She said, remembering that night when he asked her to join him and she turned him down.
He hugged her and then followed Gillian to find some blankets. He soon has a bunch of blanket out on the couch for himself and Emily was lying in Gillian's guest room, huddled in all the blankets.
.:.
Cal stared at the roof, unable to sleep. The sun was just barely peeking up over the horizon and he lazily looked around the room. He sat up and pulled the big sweatshirt off and grabbed a t-shirt. He pulled it on and then walked downstairs into the kitchen. He found his Fruity Pebbles and filled a bowl to the brim. He drowned them in milk and sat down at the counter, quietly munching on his breakfast.
Gillian knocked on the door and heard him murmur something from inside. She slipped in and joined him at the counter. "Hello." She smiled and watched him intently.
"Sup?" He asked her calmly drinking the milk at the bottom of the bowl.
"I need to talk to you."
"Sounds great but I told a friend I would call him when I woke up... so can it wait an hour?" He asked her, throwing his bowl into the sink.
"Well-"
"Bros before hos..." He said with a small shrug.
"Cal!" She said madly.
"I'm just kidding Foster." He said with a chuckle.
"This is serious." She said sternly.
"Of course." He said, putting his serious face on.
"I am going to do this fast... like ripping a band aidoff..." He stared at her curiously. "Emily went to a part last night, someone spiked her drink, and raped her and now shes pregnant." She cringed away, waiting for him to explode. He stared at her, completely motionless.
"Why the hell would you joke about that?" He asked her sickly.
"Cal... she came to my house last night with Gabe, who is a wonderful boy by the way, and told me what happened and we tested three times! Emily is pregnant."
His eyes widened and he stared at her. "How the hell did that happen? What the hell was Gabe thinking? Who the hell did it? How the hell did she get drunk? How the hell did this happen?" He screamed once more. He continued to yell about how it was impossible and soon fell to the floor, his face buried in his legs. "My Emily... my poor Emily... where is she?"
"At my house..." Gillian whispered after his short rampage.
"This is Gabe's fault..." He said, raising his head. His eyes were bloodshot with fury and Gillian knew he couldn't see Gabe... not now.
"No it isn't!" Gillian said, defending the helpless boy that wasn't there to defend himself.
"Where is he?"
"I am not telling you." She said.
"Where the hell is the boy who ruined my daughters life?" Cal yelled, getting off of the ground, putting his fist close to Gillian's face.
"You won't hurt me." She said.
He stared at her and mumbled through gritted teeth. "I'm gonna kill him..." He then turned away and sat down at the counter. He ran his hands through his hair and took a deep breath. "This is my fault... I let her go to the party... I should have said no! No matter what kind of state I was in! I knew better! And now Em is..." He refused to say it.
.:.
Emily nervously paced in Gillian's kitchen. Gabe watched her curiously. "So..."
She stared at him. "What? What is he going to do?" She asked.
"I dunno... don't worry... at least you didn't choose for it... then he would be pissed. You didn'tdo anything wrong... he can be mad at me... and I know he will, but he won't be mad at you... I know it." He gave her a warm smile.
"I used him... I asked him when he was half asleep because I knew he would say yes..." She said, dissapointed in herself.
Gabe was ready to say something when Gillian came running in. "You need to leave. Now." She told Gabe, shoving him out the back door. "Cal is coming and he cannot see you right now."
Gabe worriedly looked at Emily and winked. He ran out and promised to be back later.
The front door opened as soon as the back door shut. Cal came in and slammed the door shut. Emily stared at him with tears coming down her face. He opened his mouth, ready to yell something but stopped. He walked up to her and grabbed her shoulders. He pulled her into his body and held her tightly. "I'm sorry... this should have never happened to you and I blame myself." He kissed her head and let her cry. She slowly relaxed and put her arms around his waist and held him tightly.
Gillian smiled at Cal's gentleness. She pulled away and looked at him silently. "I didn't want this to happen..." She whispered.
"I know... and it's okay... it has happened before..." He said, as if he had an example. She looked at him curiously and he took a deep breath. "My girlfriend..." That had gotten Gillian's attention. "When we were in high school... it actually happened just like this... I invited her to a party... I left for a while... she refused to drink but had her drink spiked... Then some guy took her and..." He nodded and they all understood.
"What did you do?" Emily asked sheepishly.
"Let's just say that guy never walked right again." He chuckled and brushed Emily's hair from her face. "I was a wimp and a jerk and Ileft her." He said to her sadly, regretting it all. "And if I could do it again... that wouldn't be the case... I would have never taken her to that party... but if somehow... somehow that happened... I wouldn'tjust leave her. And I know that Gabe won't be like me. He is going to stay with you. I could see the terror in his eyes when he saw me... but I could see... he didn't quite make it out of here before me, but good thing he did because I would have killed him in my fury." He smiled and continued. "That boy loves you Em... you have only known eachother for what? 12 weeks? He isn'tgoing to leave and I sure as hell won't let him." Cal promised. They hugged again and turned to a lighter subject: Torres' and Loker's relationship.
"Well... they have been spending alot of time together." Gillian said, sitting back in her chair happily.
"But they do anyway... I mean... he kind of... trains her? Doesn't he?" Emily asked lightly drinking some hot chocolate.
Cal smiled, "I think he shagging her." He said awkwardly. Gillian frowned and so did Emily.
"Real subtle dad..." Emily mumbled. They all laughed and Cal got that sudden look of pain on his face and his muscles all seemed to lock up. "Dad?" Emily asked, staring at him worriedly.
Gillian looked at the frozen look of agony. "Cal." She said, calmly laying a hand on his shoulder.
.:.
They were soon at the hospital. Cal had gotten out of the strange trance but was still scared and unsure of what had happened. Gabe joined up and got a stern chastisement from Cal, lots of yelling, but soon followed by a thank you and a hand shake and a comment from Emily, "I think he's really warming up to you."
Cal was sitting awkwardly on the sticky hospital bed, his back hunched over while the doctor ran a stethoscope around his back. He winced at the doctor pounded on his knees to check his reaction. He shined a flashlight into Cal's eyes and ears. The usual. "Well..."
"Let me guess... you don't see anything." Gabe said boredly.
"Yes... exactly. There seems to be nothing wrong. I don't want to give any X-Rays because you have gotten too much radiation from your earlier visits." The doctor mumbled, stumped with what to do next.
"What the hell are you going to do then?" Cal asked annoyed.
"Well... there's nothing we can..." He trailed off and stared at Cal's arm.
"What?" Cal asked him.
"What is this from?" He asked, pointing to a small hole on Cal's arm.
"How the bloody hell would I know?" He stared at it and asked, "What does it mean?"
"Well... anything really... you could have been injected with something poisonous. I would like to do some blood tests."
They were soon drawing blood from Cal. "Alright... results will be in about 3 hours... you can hang out here... go home... whatever." The doctor said, leaving the room.
Cal immediately walked out and took many different turns and running up different staircases. Gillian, Emily, and Gabe struggled to follow him. "Where are we going?" Gillian finally spoke up.
"Andrew." Cal simply said. They were soon in the pediatric center and Cal ran down the halls, he had Andrew's room number memorized. A sigh of relief slipped through his lips when he saw Andrew playing a video game in his room. "Hey bud." Cal said, walking up to his bed and giving him a small noogie.
"Hey!" Andrew said happily. "I'm playing Halo... wanna try?" Cal shook his head and Andrew shrugged and continued to play.
"When are they letting you out?" Cal asked him.
"Two days." He stated plainly.
"Oh... are you excited?"
"Not really." He mumbled, setting the controller down. "Will you still visit me?"
"Uh-"
"Cal Lightman?" A lady asked, walking into the room. He nodded. "I need to talk with you." Cal frowned and followed her out into the hallway.
"Look I don't have much-"
"It won't take long. Listen... Andrew has no family and you are the only one that he knows and likes, along with you daughter and girlfriend of course, and we need your approval. This doesn't happen often but you are the closet person to this child, considering that all of his family is now dead. You have the choice to have custody of Andrew. Or send him to the orphanage or adoption center. Now, if you send him away we cannot promise that you can visit him. This could be your last visit." She said.
Cal stared at her. Why was this happening to him? Jack taking him? Jack taking Emily? Jack taking him again? Emily getting raped? Andrew's family dying? WHY? He looked around, nervously shoving his hands into his pockets. He coughed a couple times and looked at the woman. "Do I have some time?"
"No we need to know now. If you change your mind and it isn't too late you can always come and adopt him. And we will inform you when he is being adopted." She said with a small smile on her face.
"I-I barely know the k-kid..." He said to her.
"He looks up to you Mr. Lightman. He really likes you."
Cal nodded. "I can't... It's just that."
"You don't need to explain to me. Yes or no."
"No." Cal said, turning around quickly, before he changed his mind.
The woman turned around and walked away. He could heard the clicking of her heels as she got farther and farther down the hall. He wasn't ready for another child. Andrew would be fine.
"Sorry..." He mumbled, joining Andrew again.
"So..." Andrew had a small smile. "Will you come visit me?"
"When I can." Cal promised. "I have to go. I am here because I am sick. Hopefully I will be fine but we need to go and check on the results." Cal smiled and then gave the boy a quick hug.
"Ok... bye! Get better!" Andrew said in his high pitched voice.
Cal smiled and waved as they all slowly walked back downstairs.
"Dad..." Emily mumbled.
"Huh?" Cal asked sadly.
"I don't mind. I can handle it."
"No not now... if it were at some other time in our life. I mean... he wouldn't have a proper family... He is only 9 Emily." They were silent for the rest of the awkward walk.
.:.
Dr. Tolleth now stared at Cal. "This is horrible. I have never seen anything like it." He was examining Cal's blood results.
"What?" Cal asked, becoming impatient.
"This is a decease... We have only seen it once... and the patient died." He said depressingly.
"Wow... great... thank you..." Cal said madly.
"We don't have a medicine to help you." He stated.
"Well...?"
"This is an untreatable decease. We cannot treat you. I don't know how it happened, but there is nothing we can do. You are going to die."
