Note: Okay, I know I left you on a good note, so read on!!!!!!

Once Ray left for work, Neela rushed out to the nearest drugstore and brought close to $200 worth of pregnancy test. On her way home she called Abby, who answered the phone sleepily

"What???? Neela what's wrong" asked Abby

"I think I have a problem." Said Neela

"We've already established that you do, you're still working at County. So explain to me what is new?" asked Abby

"I may be pregnant, and it isn't Michael's." said Neela

Abby dropped the phone and stared at Luka while he was sleeping; she bent over and picked up the phone.

"How, wait, don't answer that, who's is it?" asked Abby as she searched around for her clothes.

"Ray's, I know I should have told you that we were fooling around, but it kind of just slipped my mind. I haven't told him yet." said Neela

"First you have to find out if you have something to tell him. Take the test, and I'll be over in an hour. Try to keep calm, will you." said Abby

"Okay, I brought a few of them, so I'll still be taking them when you get here." said Neela as she hung up the phone

Meanwhile, on the EL headed to County General. Ray is going through the mornings events in his head. 'I wonder what's wrong with her; she just seemed so jumpy this morning.' Shaking his head, he got off the EL and walked to the ER. As soon as he came in the door, Jerry called him to the desk.

"You got a message from Luka, he said to call him at home." said Jerry

"Okay, let me put my stuff up." said Ray

'This is just getting weirder and weirder' thought Ray as he walked into the locker room. Once he got Luka's number, he held the line until his boss answered.

"Okay, what's up, what did I do now?" asked Ray

"You tell me, Abby just left to your place, said she and Neela were going shopping. It's Abby's only off day for two weeks, why would she even leave the house?" asked Luka

"I don't know what I did, I canceled my gigs tonight to go out with Neela, and she told me to just pick a place. Those two are hiding something." said Ray

"I don't know, I'll find out what is going on when Abby comes back. Until then, don't say anything to them about it if you see either one of them." said Luka

"Alright. I'm going to go home early, maybe I can figure this out." said Ray as he hung up.

Back at the apartment, Neela grabbed the fourth twin pack of tests when Abby knocked on the door. She opened the door and let her in.

"Okay, so what's the verdict?" asked Abby as she took off her coat

Neela grabbed the first two tests off the counter and dropped them in Abby's lap. Positive, both of them, she shook her head.

"Are you sure, I mean, these things can be wrong. They're not that accurate." said Abby

"I don't think six of them can have the same wrong answer. I can't tell Ray I'm pregnant, we're not married; my parents are going to kill me. And what do I tell Michael when he comes home? Oh, forget to tell you I was shagging my roommate, I got pregnant, but I still love you." said Neela

"First, you're going to calm down. Second you need to realize that you have to tell Ray, even if you're not having it, he lives with you, he'll know something is wrong. I mean, you do want kids don't you?" asked Abby

"I never thought about it, I guess I should have been thinking about the consequences, but I was on the pill, it shouldn't have happened." said Neela

"Have you taken anything else while on the pill? I hate to sound like your doctor but I just have to ask." said Abby

"I did get the flu shot about a month ago. But that shouldn't have affected it. Either way, I need sometime to think. How can I tell Ray, better yet, how do I tell my parents?" asked Neela

"Just tell them, first you have to tell Ray before you tell anyone else. He'll be hurt if he's the last to know." said Abby

"I don't know how to tell him, he still hasn't made up his mind that he actually wants to be a doctor, he's not going to react well to a baby." said Neela

"You never know what he's going to say until you tell him. Go see one of the doctors in OB, and get a blood test, at least be sure before you do anything."said Abby

"I don't want to go to them, not at County. I'll go to Mercy, I'll go it this afternoon." said Neela

"Good, well if you need me, just call. I've gotta get back, I'm on later tonight." said Abby as she got up to leave. She hugged Neela

"It's going to be okay, whatever happens." said Abby as she walked out the door

Neela got up and walked to the bathroom took a long shower and got dressed. She looked at her stomach in the mirror and tried to picture what it would look like with her being pregnant. The thought scared her personally. She grabbed her coat a headed off to the El.

Meanwhile, back at the ER, Ray just discharged his 12th patient of the day, and Abby walked through the doors, she waved to him and walked over to Luka and pulled him to the side.

"I think they have a serious problem." said Abby

"What's wrong? What did he do?" asked Luka

"Nothing, just get her pregnant." said Abby as she took threw her things into her locker

"What?!?!?! Does Gallant know?" asked Luka

"No, it doesn't matter anyway. It's not his, its Ray's." said Abby

"Wow, this is new. So does Ray know?" asked Luka

"No, she just found out this morning." said Abby then she began to explain the morning's events to Luka. Ray walked into the room as soon as she finished talking, we've got a MVA coming in, van versus semi.

The day went by slowly for both Ray and Neela, Ray as he wondered what was going on at home and Neela as she waited in the doctor's office

She mentally counted the days since her last period and to her shock she'd missed two months instead of one. This was just terrible, she started to cry, and then her cell phone rang. She picked it up, it was Michael

"Neela, I'm not going to be able to come home this week. I'm needed here." said Mike

"Okay, I'm in the middle of a patient right now, you'll have to call me later." said Neela as she hung up in his face

Her phone rang again, this time it was Ray. She didn't want to answer it, but it could be important.

"What's up, did you figure out where you want to eat tonight?" asked Ray

"How about we just order in, I'm not feeling up to going out tonight. I'll go pick up a few movies and order Chinese, how's that sound?" asked Neela

"Sounds great, I'll see you at 9, I'm coming home early tonight." said Ray as he hung up

The nurse called Neela back a few minutes after that, the took some blood and ran a few test. When the lab sent back the results, it was the same answer as before, she was pregnant. The doctor talked to her briefly about her choices, but when she told her she was a doctor, she just gave her a prescription for prenatal vitamins and her card. As she left the office, she wants to be happy and cry at the same time. So she decided to go rent some movies and go home and relax. When she got to the building, she noticed that their door was open, she carefully walked in and Ray was in the kitchen getting a beer and cussing at the top of his lungs, Neela closed the door behind herself and thought about why he was so angry. The trash, she forgot to throw the used test away before she left.

He walked over too her and put his beer down.

"Is there something you need to tell me Neela, or were you planning on telling me at all?" asked Ray

AN: Yes I know it's short, and I left you hanging, again. but that's how I am, so just review me and look for the next chapter soon, I am entering finals week, also known as hell. Oh and look for my newest story on the Highlander.

MUAH!!!!
