Toganga's POV

I sat next to my beautiful daughter taking a deep breath. Honesty was hard in this moment. I wasn't one to be a fan of lying, it wasn't really lying but it wasn't the truth. I felt the need to shield my children from my pain. They deserve not to have to worry about adult problems or if Cory and I are okay or not.

"I recently had a health scare." I looked at Rowan for her reaction.

Her face turned white. "Are you okay?!" Rowan panicked.

"I'm okay." I assured her.

"What's going on?" She asked worrying.

"Your father and I have been trying to get pregnant for the past few years." I looked at my daughter who was surprised. "It just wasn't happening so we saw a doctor and then we got the news we were expecting right after Josh moved in." I looked at my daughter bearing a shocked look across her face.

"What?!" Rowan looked freaked out.

"The thing is we didn't say anything because I had a miscarriage a week later." I breathed deeply not wanting to cry.

Her face softened. "Oh mom." Rowan's eyes filled with sparkling sparrow and she hugged me tightly.

I hugged my baby and we stayed like that for awhile. Cory and I've been dealing with this privately for awhile now. I didn't want to involve the children but Cory thought it would be good for me to for them to know.

Rowan's POV

I couldn't believe my own ears. I didn't even know my parents were trying to have another kid. I felt so much pain for my mom. I felt guilty that here I was carrying a child so easily and I didn't even know if I wanted it. I wanted to tell her everything in this moment since she was so honest with me, but I didn't. I let her go off after we talked so she could talk to Jamie. I wish I knew how to do this. I laid on my bed and curled up in a ball before falling asleep.

I was woken up an hour later by a phone call. "Hello?" I said half asleep.

"Rowan?" My eyes widen as I hear Kendall's voice. "Please don't hang up." He begged.

"I don't want to talk to you." I swallowed down the fear I felt.

"You don't have to talk. Just please listen." He cried. "I feel so lost without you. I'm so sorry baby, I'll do anything. Please don't leave me."

I stood my ground. "Goodbye Kendall." I hung up the phone and sobbed.

Sabrina's POV

I finished watching a movie with Josh. I snuggled into his arm and didn't want to move. It was about dinner time and Cory had ordered pizza for all of us. Topanga and him were going out to dinner so it was just all of us. I figured it was going to be drama filled and I was not ready for any of that. Josh and I stood up once the doorbell rang and we paid for the two pizza's from the money Cory handed us.

"I'll go get Jamie and Rowan." Josh said placing the pizzas on the table.

"Okay." I said with a smile. I grabbed plates from the cabinet and put them on the table. I saw Josh come out with Jamie following behind him. No sign of Rowan and I'm not even surprised. I sat down with Josh and looked up at Jamie who was getting his jacket on.

"Bye guys." He said grabbing his keys.

"Where are you going?" I asked him, confused at anyone turning down pizza.

"I'm going out on a date." Jamie said before leaving the house.

"I guess it's just us?" I grabbed a slice.

"Yeah." He takes a sip of his drink and grabs his slice. "Rowan's sleeping." Josh said sounding relieved.

I was relieved too.

Rowan's POV

I pretended to sleep to avoid my uncle and Sabrina but I was starving. I waited them out as long as I could but I ended up leaving my room a half hour later when I heard Josh's door open and close. Thankfully I snuck out of my room quietly and heated up a slice of pizza. I started eating and went on my phone. I had tons of texts from Kendall I didn't even read them. I logged onto Facebook and my eyes widened. There was a new status update from Kendall.

"I can't do this anymore. I'm alone. I miss her, I don't deserve to live.

I'm saying goodbye, I'm so sorry to everyone I've disappointed."

My chest felt heavy and my breathing slowed down. I dropped my food and I dialed Kendall's number. No answer, I tried three times. I was terrified and didn't even think about what I was doing. I paced around the room waiting for him to answer his phone. Kendall is a horrible boyfriend but I'm not heartless, I didn't want him to die. I loved him deep inside or at least the person I thought he was. There was a knock at the door and it pulled me back into reality. I ran the the door opening it to find Kendall standing there, his face was bloody. He clearly was in some fight, I stood there in shock. He took a step closer to me and pulled me into a hug. I hesitated but I hugged him back.

Jamie's POV

I walked up the stairs after having dinner down the street with my new girlfriend Lucy. I wanted to take her to meet my parents since we've been dating for a few weeks now. We opened the door and I saw Kendall standing with his back turned to the door, holding Rowan. My body tensed up and I slammed the door closed making everyone jump.

"What is he doing here?!" I yelled.

Rowan pulled away from Kendall. "Jamie, please stay out of this." She said with a shaky voice.

I looked over at Lucy. "You should probably leave." I tried to keep my cool.

She nodded her head and placed a kiss on my cheek. "Stay safe." Lucy pleaded.

I looked at her. "Call me when you're home." I opened the door and she left. I didn't want her to be in the middle of this. I turned my attention to Kendall and Rowan. "He needs to leave. Now." I said sternly.

"You need to mind your own business." Rowan looked up at Kendall.

Sabrina and Josh walked into the room and it didn't take them long to figure out what was going on. Rowan took Kendall's hand and dragged him to her room. I followed them closely with Sabrina and my uncle.

"What do you think your doing?" I questioned my little sister, holding back the urge to attack Kendall.

Rowan ignored my comments. "Row, you said that you guys broke up." Sabrina said confused. "What's going on?"

I raised my eyebrow. "You broke up? Then why is the scumbag still here?" I clenched my fist.

Kendall glared at me. "It's not that simple, okay?" Rowan explained. "Relationships are complicated."

"Why can't you see how badly you're being treated?" Josh asked. "He's a dick and you eat up everything he says, like some little puppy."

Kendall tensed up. "Hey! You better fucking watch what you say." He grabbed Rowan's hand pretty tightly.

I felt myself black out from the rage and I come to after punching Kendall in the nose. He tried to stand up and fight back but Rowan stopped him. She was screaming at me I couldn't even hear my own thoughts. I took a deep breath and left the room.

Sabrina's POV

Josh and I were frozen there. I didn't expect Jamie to punch him. I watched Rowan tend to his wounds. I looked at Josh for answers on what we should even do next. Josh went to go check on Jamie and I didn't move from my spot. I wasn't going to leave Rowan and Kendall alone without answers.

"I should probably leave." Kendall said softly.

Rowan nodded her head. "Are you going to be okay?" She asked him.

"I think so." He paused looking into her eyes. "Will I see you tomorrow?"

I saw Rowan hesitate. "Yes." Kendall smiled and placed a kiss on her lips.

Kendall and Rowan hugged goodbye and he slipped out the window. They ignored my presence the whole time that I was surprised she even looked at me when he left. I walked over to her bed and sat down next to her. I was still angry but this was more important.

"Please talk to me." I begged. "I won't judge you. I just don't know why you're still with him."

Rowan sighed. "I'm not still with him." She admitted.

"What? Really? That seemed like you were." I questioned.

"We were together for awhile Sab. The feelings don't just disappear." She looked down. "I'm ready to move on but he isn't and I'm worried about him." '

I listened to Rowan open up to me for the first time in awhile. "It'll be okay. I understand now." I hugged her tightly.

Rowan flinched. "Lighter please." She whispered.

My face filled with confusion. "What?" I saw the pain on her face.

"Nothing, it was just too tight." Rowan referred to the hug.

"I barely hugged you." I noticed her crossing her arms and looking nervous. "What are you hiding?"

Her face showed everything she was hiding. "Nothing. I'm fine." I watched her lie to my face.

"Jamie! Josh!" I screamed.

Rowan's eyes widen. "What do you think you're doing?" She panicked.

I stared at my best friend who was terrified. "What?" Josh said walking in with Jamie.

I looked at them and back at Rowan, knowing there was no going back from this if I was right. "Take off that sweater." I looked her in the eyes.

Rowan gulped and tightened her folded arms. "What?" She played dumb. "No."
