I opened my eyes slowly, the bright sunlight burning my eyes. I wasn't sure where I was but judging by the wires and such I concluded that I was in the hospital. I saw Tori sitting at the foot of my bed reading a pregnancy magazine. "Tori?" I said and she jumped a foot in the air. "Oh my god you're awake!" she said and hurried as fast as she could with her beach ball sized belly. "How long was I asleep? Why am I here?" I asked. "You don't remember?" she asked. I shook my head, "All I remember is lying on the floor with Frank beside me. Wait where's Frank?" I asked. "Frank's at home. Ray and I forced him home so that he could get some sleep, he's been here for the past three days. Which is how long you've been out to answer your question. You answered the door and when you came back in you puked and collapsed. We called 911 and they brought you here. The doctor said that you collapsed from a sudden stress but that the baby and you are both going to be okay. But what I can't figure out is what caused it? I mean you went outside for like fifteen minuets and came in and fell out. What went on?" she asked. That's when it all came back to me, Trace, the broken condom, everything and that's when the tears came.

"Holly what's wrong? What happened outside?" she asked. I shook my head and buried my face in my hands. "Holly Iero you can tell me anything now what happened that made you so stressed out?" Tori asked. I took a shuddering breath, "T-Trace came to the house." I said. Tori's jaw dropped and her eyebrows disappeared under her fringe, "Trace as in 'one night stand trace'? That Trace?" she asked. "Yeah and that's not the worse part. The night that we had sex I gave him a condom to put on but yesterday he told me that when he tried to put it on he said it broke and that I told him to go ahead." I said. "Oh my god Holly. You had sex with Frank a week later!" she said. "Yeah I know and as you've most likely figured out I'm not sure if it's Frank or Trace's baby. I feel like such a slut!" I said and cried harder. Tori took me into her arms as much as she could with our beach ball bellies and rubbed my head, "You're not a slut Holly, you just made a mistake. Everyone does it baby and it's your turn." she said and pulled away. "Now, do you know what you have to do now?" she asked. "Tell Frank?" I said. "Yeah and in fact here he comes." she said.

With a quick wave she picked up her bag and bustled out the door, only stopping to hug Frank for a moment. The moment Frank walked into the room his face lit up and he ran to me, wrapping me in his arms. He gave me a long sweet kiss then pulled me closer to his chest. "Oh god Holly I was so scared. What happened that made you do that?" he asked. I couldn't answer, the words were stuck in my throat and the tears welled up in my eyes. I put my hands on his chest and pushed him away. "Holly? What's wrong? Was it something that I did that caused this?" he asked. "No, this is entirely my fault. I should have told you sooner but-but I was scared what you'd think and then the wedding would have been off and I'd lost you once and I didn't want to lose you again." I said twisting the bed sheet in my hands. "Holly you're scaring me. Just tell me what's going on." he said his voice nervous. I took a deep breath.

"Okay here it goes. I just want you to know though that before I tell you this, I'm telling you because I love you and you deserve to know. I'm sure that you remember when you came to pick Ray up at that diner and I was outside kissing Trace Cyrus. Well what I never told you was that after that I had no intention of seeing him ever again, I swear. But that night I was lying in bed and I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking of you. At that time I just wanted it to all stop. I thought that you'd been cheating on me and I was in pain so I called Trace and asked if he wanted to do something the next night. He said yeah and took me to one of his concerts. Well when we left I heard a fan saying that you'd found some other girl and I kinda lost it. We went to a party and I got completely shit faced and so did he and one thing led to another and we had sex." I said. I looked up at Frank and saw that he was still sitting at the foot of my bed staring hard into the floor. "Frank?" I asked warily. "That's not all is it Holly? I can tell by your voice that it isn't." he said emotionlessly. "You're right, there is more. He came to the house yesterday while you and Ray and Bob were painting the nursery. He told me that he'd heard that I was pregnant and that he thought it was his. I told him that we'd used a condom but then he told me that it broke and that I had apparently told him to go ahead." I said thickly through my tears. "Did you tell him to go ahead?" Frank asked, his voice still monotone. "I don't remember.” I replied. "H-how long ago was this?" he asked. "About a week before we got back together." I said and looked up at him to catch his reaction.

His hands were gripping the bed tightly and his face was stony but I could see the tears shimmering in his eyes.” So the baby...the baby might not be mine?" he asked. "Yeah." I said turning away, I couldn't bear to look at him anymore. "Why didn't you tell me this before? Why are you waiting until now to tell me that you fucked some other guy while we were broken up and that he could possibly be the father of your child?" Frank asked. "Frank I didn’t' know that he didn't use a condom! I told him to put it on I swear! And the reason that I never told you is that I didn't think it mattered! I was just happy to be back with you!" I said. "So you still should've told me! I wouldn't have cared then but now it's just too much Holly. I love you but this is all to much. First you sleep with some guy and now the baby might not even be mine? It's too much. I'm sorry." he said and left. I watched as he walked out the door and down the hall before I curled up into a little ball on the bed. I wrapped my arms around my unborn baby and cried.
