"Did you tell Nate, yet?"

She shakes her head, "No, I am telling you. You are the first person that I've told."

"I'm sorry, I can't be ok with this."

"You're just supposed to support me."

"Allison, I can't support you killing yourself."

"I'm not."

"Yes, you are."

"I want this baby."

"So are you going to have treatment, after the baby is born?"

"I can't have radiation after the baby is born. Then I won't even be able to hold my own baby."

"So, you're just going to choose to do nothing, instead?"

"Yes," she confirms.

"What, if you both die? Then what?"

"I am going to do this. You're not going to change my mind."

"Does Nate know, that your cancer is back?"

"No."

"You have to tell him."

"I haven't spoken to him, in weeks."

"Why not?"

"Because I couldn't bear the thought, of having to face him."

"Call him."

"I am not going to tell him, over the phone."

"Call him, have him come here. I'll pay for the plane ticket."

"No. I am an adult. I can handle this on my own. I don't need your help."

"Really? Who is going to help you, raise this baby?"

"You have a baby of your own, that you have to raise."

Maura walks away.

Jane calls, when she realizes that Maura isn't at work.

"Hello?" Maura answers after two rings.

"Where are you?"

"At home."

"Why?"

"I decided to use one of my sick days."

"You're feeling pretty crummy, huh?"

"Even more so, now."

"What's going on?"

"Allison showed up, last night."

"Is she ok?"

"She's trying to kill me, I think."

"What do you mean?"

"I'll tell you later."

"If you need me, give me a call."

"Thanks, I'll talk to you later," she hangs up.

She hears Allison open the door. She hears voices, and then Allison calls up the stairs, for her. "There's someone here to see you," she hollers.

Maura comes down the stairs. Allison is nowhere in sight. The front door is closed. When she reaches the bottom of the stairs, she stares at the figure, in front of the door, in confusion.

"What are you doing here?"

"I know that I should have called first, but I had to see you," he admits.

"Why? To rub it in? I heard that you're getting married."

"No, I'm not."

"You weren't with another girl, the whole time that you were with me?"

"I was with her, before I was with you."

"That makes it better?"

"No. It doesn't. Maura, I love you. I broke things off with her."

"I don't believe it."

"I want you. I fell in love, with you. Anytime I was with her, all I could think about, was you. I'm so sorry."

"That's not going to work."

"Maura, please. I want to be with you. I want to be a family."

"No."

"No?"

"I don't want to be with someone, who lies, and cheats."

"Marry me," he begs, dropping to one knee.

"Get up. I am not going to marry you, now, or ever."

"Maura, please, just hear me out."

"No," she shakes her head, "I deserve more than this. I want someone that I can trust. I can't trust you."

"I am sorry. Maura, I have something I need to tell you, something I should have told you, earlier."

"What?"

"I knew."

"You knew, what?"

"I knew, that you were pregnant."

"And, yet you went on, and on about just the two of us?"

He shakes his head, "Not what I mean."

"What are you talking about?"

"Maura, I knew that you were pregnant. I spent two hours a day with you, for months. I knew."

"You knew? How?"

"The night you were leaving the library, I was coming to talk to you."

"You have to be more specific, I spent most of my time in the library."

"You didn't think anyone was watching you. I saw you toss the pregnancy test, in the garbage, outside the library. I saw you crying. I knew."

"You knew, and you did nothing? Unbelievable."

"Maura, I was just a kid. I wasn't ready to be a parent. When you didn't say anything to me about it, I just assumed that you took care of it."

"Wow, she was right about you."

"Who?"

"My daughter. She has always been a good judge of character. She didn't like you. She told me that you were bad news. I should have listened to her, instead of being pulled in, by your charm."

"Our daughter," he corrects.

"No. You are just her sperm donor."

"And were more of a parent to her, than I was?"

"I am the only parent she has. I am all she has. You need to leave, now. Don't come back."

"Please, forgive me. I made mistakes, a lot of them. I'm so sorry. I realize how foolish I was. I love you, I just want to be with you."

"That's never going to happen."

"You're having my baby."

She looks him in the eyes, "No, I'm not."

"You're not?"

"Not anymore," she lies.

"You mean..." he chokes.

"There is no baby," she tells him.
