(2 months later)

This couldn't be right, Willow thought as she sat on her hotel bed. "Fuck," she whispered as she stared at the words that were glaring at her. "No, this is wrong." She got up and rushed back to the bathroom and threw up. "This has to be wrong," She mumbled as she rinsed her mouth out then crawled into bed and fell asleep, blatantly ignoring the tests that were right in front of her.

(2 more months later - 4 months after leaving)

"Thank you Doctor," Willow said as she followed the doctor out of the exam room. She walked over to the desk and smiled at the nurse.

"When would he like to see you again?" The nurse asked politely after holding up a finger at the person in the waiting room.

"A month please," Willow said as she opened her phone to set the appointment.

"Pookie?" Ice ran down Willow's spine as she froze in shock and fear. The door to the exam rooms opened up and she took a step back as green eyes looked at her in shock. "Pookie, you're pregnant," he whispered as he stared at her.

"What are you doing here, Sean?" She asked still not believing he was standing in front of her.

"I'm here training so I came to see some friends while I'm on break," He explained as he took her in. He couldn't believe he was finally seeing her after so long of searching for her. "Breathe Willow," he commanded in doctor mode when he realized she wasn't breathing.

She gasped and took another step back when he reached out to touch her. "Don't!" She yelped as she shook her head.

"Miss Rivers, are you okay?" The doctor asked as he came out of an exam room.

"How far along is she?" Sean asked the doctor turning to face him.

"Don't!" Willow shook her head and the doctor nodded.

"I'm not at liberty to discuss my patient's information, Dr. Green," Dr. Puentes said, "I'm sure you understand."

"Pookie," Sean whispered turning to face her but all he saw was the door shutting. Sean looked at the nurse who just shook her head and pointed to the waiting room that was now empty. He raced out to the hall but it was empty.

He raced over to the elevator and growled when it shut just as he reached it. He pulled out his phone and hit a button. "Get to the hospital NOW I just saw Willow!" He shouted then hung up the phone.

Willow got into the Uber car and closed her eyes. "Not now," She whispered as she fought back nausea. "Please not now."

"Ma'am?" The man asked in concern as he started to pull out of the parking lot.

"I'm okay," She said as she opened her eyes. She barely gasped as she recognized the multiple cars that were pulling in as the Uber was pulling out. "Shit," she whispered and slid down.

"They are gone," he said once he determined it was safe.

"Thank you," She sighed in relief as she sat back up.

"Everything okay?" he asked as he kept his eyes on the road.

"Yes," she nodded, "just people I'm not ready to talk to," She answered honestly as she looked out the window. "Just please take me to work."

The rest of the ride was silent as she became lost in her thoughts. The car pulled up to the zoo and she got out. She paid the man and headed to talk to her boss.

The rest of the day went by in a blur as she worked in the gift shop. Just as it was about to close she heard the door ding as more people came in. She paid no mind as she focused on the little boy that was paying for his shirt and stuff animal all by himself while the parents patiently waited.

"I appreciate you letting him do this," the mom smiled softly.

"Of course," Willow smiled. "It's no problem at all."

"How far along are you?" She asked gently as Willow rubbed her stomach softly as she watched the boy count out the coins in his hand as he put them on the counter.

"Fifteen weeks and three days," She answered as she took the coins from the boy. "Thank you so much," she told him as she got his change. "Here is your two dollars back, would you like me to remove the tag from your shirt for you?"

"Please," He beamed and she smiled as she cut the price tag off. "Thank you."

"You are very welcome," She waved at him.

"Thank you," The parents said as they left.

"Have a nice day," She called out as she bent to grab her water bottle. She stood back up and gasped as she saw fourteen men standing there with glares on their face while shock emanated from their eyes. "Shit," She barely whispered as color drained from her face.

"Hello Darling," Owen said as he straightened his tie. "Do you have something you would like to tell us?"
