Squeezing her eyes shut, Selena let her head fall back onto the wall. After a long moment of her heart nearly trying to break through her skin, she got up and wrapped the pregnancy test in toilet paper.

She threw it into the trash can then left the bathroom. Before she walked outside, she grabbed a blanket from the closet.

Even from the door, Selena could hear her friends laughing over the faint sound of old soul and blues music as they were all gathered around the stoned fire pit.

Once she made her way across the large patio, they all greeted her with smiles and laughter.

"Now that you're here, Selly..." Olivia sang, knowing Selena hated that name. "We were just about to play a game."

Selena took a seat on Jack's lap, leaning her head on his shoulder. She brought the blanket up to cover the both of their bodies then wrapped her arms around his neck. "What game?"

Olivia flipped her brown and blonde ombré hair over her shoulder, teasing everyone with a smirk as she started to pour tequila in her cup. "Never have I ever."

A chorus of "Ooo's" sounded around them that eventually trailed off into laughter. Will snorted though, not amused. "What are we? Seventeen?"

"Only for the night." Mason joked, grabbing the tequila from Olivia to pour an unnecessary amount into his cup, almost spilling it over the top.

After everyone poured their drinks, Selena's cup was last to go. Olivia leaned over the table to pour her drink, but Selena leaned forward and stopped her. "No thanks. I'm not drinking tonight."

"C'mon, loosen up and forget about being a mom tonight." Cassidy, Mason's fiance, urged.

Selena shook her head. "It's okay. I have work in the morning."

"How about, if you drink all of your water before the end of the game then you have to take at least one shot." Ashton suggested.

Jack then spoke up. "If she doesn't wanna drink then she doesn't have to. One less drunk person isn't gonna kill y'all." He shrugged, rubbing her back under the blanket.

"You know what..." Selena began. "That'll work. I doubt I did anything that y'all are about to throw out, so fine."

Everyone besides Jack cheered loudly, making Selena chuckle. They all got comfortable in their seats and started the game.

"Now, let's not go easy. If you say something that's anything less than rated r, you're automatically taking a shot. Okay, I'll start." Olivia volunteered. "Never have I ever...Never have I ever called out the wrong name during sex."

The only person to drink was Jack. In response, everyone's eyes grew wide then stared at Selena.

Jack laughed. "It wasn't with her, so calm down."

Everyone else let out an, "Ohhh." and relaxed back into their seats.

"It was when we were broken up a long time ago and I was with some girl to get her jealous and yeah, I said Sel's name and she slapped me."

They all let out a laugh before it was Liam's turn. He scratched his dirty blonde hair then leaned forward. "Never have I ever slept with my boss to get a raise or with a teacher for a good grade."

The only one to drink was Will's date, Simone. Whilst everyone laughed and seemed surprised because she seemed like an angel, Selena hit Jack's chest. "You're cheating!"

Everyone looked at Jack skeptically, making him raise one hand in defense. "It was not for a grade. It was cause she was upset and I cheered her up. That's all."

Liam gave an approving nod with a chuckle. "Fair enough."

All eyes fell on Selena when it was her turn. Her finger started tapping against her cup as she started to think. "Mmmm...Never have I ever had a threesome."

All the guys brought their cups to their mouths, including Olivia. Then it was Jack's turn and Selena could feel her hands and fingers starting to cramp up and she began to grow tired.

"Never have I ever had drunken sex with someone and not remembered the next morning."

Everyone drank, except for Selena. She seen everyone's drinks almost gone and she was getting bored with this game and she was already not feeling well, so she stood up.

"I'm sorry you guys, but I have work in the morning and besides, it looks like my water isn't going anywhere. I think I better get some sleep."

Everyone chorused an "awh." and attempted to convince her to stay but she only shook her head and apologized before she told them goodnight.

Jack followed her into the house to make sure she was doing okay. "Are you feeling alright?" He asked, sliding the door shut behind him.

She nodded. "I'm okay, really." She lied. "Just go have fun. I love you, goodnight."

Giving him a peck on his jaw, she turned around and went upstairs, leaving Jack confused and worried.


Selena walked down the pediatric ward in her blue scrubs that was covered with different kinds of sea creatures. She walked into one of her patients room where she seen a new face watching the tv that hung in the middle of the room.

Walking over to the sink to wash her hands she seen a longtime patient on the far end of the room, lift her head off the pillow and grin hard. "Hi, Dr. Medina!"

A soft smile formed on Selena's face as she looked over at the pale girl. "Hey Jodie. You have a good sleep? You got a big day today."

She nodded eagerly. "Ready to beat cancer."

"That's my girl." Selena encouraged, taking a chair and bringing it over to the new patient's bed. "Hi there. You must be Jayla." She said, setting the clipboard on the end of the bed.

Jayla gave a simple nod. "Ye-Yes, ma'am." She quietly spoke under her breath as her hand shook next to her.

Selena frowned before she introduced herself then asked the girl what brought her to the hospital while she began taking her pulse.

"My...my heart. It kept beating really fast last night and it started to hurt so, so my mom brought me...me here."

"Does it do this often?"

"Mhm."

"How does it feel now?"

"Okay."

"Okay." Selena nodded and took the stethoscope from around her neck and plugged the ear tips into her ears and brought it to Jayla's chest, listening to the steady beating of her heart, not finding anything wrong with it.

She put the stethoscope back around her neck and grabbed the clipboard that she sat on the edge of the bed, writing down the history of Jayla's heart. "Your heartbeat is normal. Is your mother still here?"

Jayla shook her head, the small curls on her head slightly following her movement. "No ma'am. She had to go back hom...home to take care of my brothers and, and sisters."

"Okay. Is there anyone that could watch them for awhile while she comes down here?"

She shook her head no.

"Okay, we'll figure something out." She gave her soft smile, getting a small nod back in return. "How old are you, Jayla?"

"I just turned sixteen, Wednesday."

Selena gave her a wide and surprised smile. "Oh, well happy belated birthday. Did you have fun?"

Jayla's eye's met the floor as she started to pick at the sheets on the bed. "No. We had to go to...to my dad's trial."

Selena's smile fell. "I'm so sorry about that. Did you get cake or presents?"

"No..."

"I'm sorry." She frowned, placing a hand on Jayla's shoulder, rubbing it soothingly. "I'll be back here in just a few and we can figure out a way to get your mom up here."

Selena stood up from the chair and placed it back by the wall. "Breakfast is coming in just about ten minutes. If either of you need anything then just ring for me and I'll come."

"Bye, Dr. Medina." Jodi sang while Selena walked towards the door.

"Bye sweetheart." As she began to crack the door, she seen Jayla wave at her with a small smile. Selena smiled and waved back, leaving the door cracked.

As she started to walk down the hallway, her pager went off. She checked it and seen that she was being told to come to the front desk.

Selena sighed softly then turned around and made her way to front desk where she seen Jack leaning against it with a bag of food next to him, chatting with Jenna, the receptionist.

He turned his head to see her and grinned, stopping his conversation to hand Selena her food. "For my favorite doctor."

"Thanks." Selena said, checking to see what he brought her. She smiled when she seen spaghetti in a plastic tray that had Olive Garden written on it. "Spaghetti for breakfast?"

"You said you've been craving it lately, so I thought I'd grab you some." He shrugged.

"Well aren't you the best." Selena then looked over at Jenna, who was sorting through mail. "Jenna, can you get in touch with Jayla Smith's mom and see if she could work something out with anyone to watch her kids or she could bring them all up here, it doesn't matter, I just need her here."

Jenna nodded. "I'll get right on it Dr. Medina."

Jack followed her into the empty break room where she washed her hands then sat down at a small and round table with him. "I still don't get why you go by Medina."

"Who became a doctor? Me or you?"

Jack chuckled. "Alright, alright."

"Did you eat?" She asked, taking the plastic top off and setting it aside.

"I ate after I dropped the kids off. I got them something for breakfast then took them to school." Jack leaned back in his chair and stuffed his hands in the pockets of his hoodie. "What time you get off?"

"Not until four."

"What time did you get here?" He questioned as he watched her chew her spaghetti.

"Like about three."

"Damn." Jack muttered.

Selena shrugged. "What are you gonna do?"

"We start recording the next album today, so that then a meet and greet and I'll be done by time the kids get out."

"Sounds fun." She then seen Adam walk into the room, giving her a smile as he grabbed a water bottle from the fridge. "Hey, are you about to bring the breakfast up?" She asked.

"Yeah. You need anything?"

Jack then looked to his side and at Adam, still wanting to beat his ass from him being in his house with his wife - not to mention that he was still pissed at Selena for it to, but she didn't hold grudges, so why should he?

"Yeah." She said. "Can you put a cupcake on the tray for Jodie and one on the tray for Jayla, she's new. And stick a candle in Jayla's for me. Thanks." She smiled.

"Sure thing, Sel." Adam looked down at Jack as he started to walk away. "What's up, Jack."

"What's up." He dryly repeated, giving him a slight chin up nod. Selena continued to eat her spaghetti as Jack shifted in his seat. "Oh, so you're Sel, now."

Selena rolled her eyes. "You call me Sel."

"Exactly. I do." Jack huffed then pulled one of his hands out of his pocket and ran them through his disheveled hair. "I made reservations at that restaurant that you like."

"Damn. People get rich and don't know how to act. You bought food last night, this morning, then this, and then you're taking me out?"

Jack smirked and raised a brow. "Are you complaining?"

Selena shook her head. "Not at all. Don't get mad when I get fat."

"Looks like your head already got there."

Selena's jaw dropped as he hummed a laugh. "You remember that." She warned. "What about Dyl and Nye?"

Jack shook his head and let out a small laugh. "They said a new spongebob movie comes on tonight and that they can't miss it."

"Oh. Looks like it's just us then. Should I dress up or what?"

"Hmmm. Surprise me."

Selena laughed. "It's not for you. It's for me. I'll probably just wear a dress or something...yeah, I'll do that." She checked the watch on her right wrist then stood up. "I gotta get back to work."

"Alright. Just put this in the fridge. You'll probably eat again before you leave." He stood up and put the spaghetti in the fridge for her as she re-fixed her ponytail.

Selena walked him to the elevator that took hours to get to their floor.

"Whenever you get off work, I'll probably be back out cause we gotta do a radio interview too, but it shouldn't take that long."

After she nodded, he grabbed her hand and interlocked their fingers. He slowly pulled her close to him and brought her hand to his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her waist and gave her a gentle kiss.

Jack broke the kiss shortly after. "How are you doing? You feel okay?" He asked her.

"Yeah."

"Okay." He said as a ding sounded and the elevator doors opened. "I'll see you tonight. I love you." He kissed her once more before he walked into the elevators and left.


Selena walked into her house and heard the television on in the living room. She made her way into the living room to see Naomi and Dylan watching tv on the floor with Grizzly next to them.

"Hey, guys." She said, scanning the room to see only them there. "Where's Cherry?"

Dylan looked over his shoulder and up at his mom. "She's not coming until later. Dad's home and I don't think she'll be here until later when you guys leave."

"Why is your dad home? I thought he wasn't coming home until after the interview. Where is he now?"

"Upstairs." Naomi informed her, her eyes glued to the cartoon on the screen.

Selena left the living room and went upstairs to her room to see Jack sitting on the edge of the bed, staring down at something in his hand.

"Hey, babe. What's that?"

Jack shrugged then tsk'ed. "I don't know. You tell me."

Selena furrowed her brows, lost of what he was talking about until his eyes met hers and he held up a pregnancy test.
