"Hey, Hannah. How you feeling?"

Hannah looked up from the magazine she was reading in her hospital bed. Guy was standing there along with Lori and Ryder. She bit her lip and looked for Hunter. She sighed a little when she noticed he wasn't there.

"Hey, Guy. I'm feeling better than yesterday, thank you."

"Of course."

"These are for you," Lori set a vase of flowers down on the table next to her bed.

"Thank you."

"You look like shit, Han," Ryder smirked.

She rolled her eyes and threw a pillow at him, "the Justin Bieber haircut stopped being cool in 2015, Ry."

"Ouch," Ryder gasped and placed a hand on his chest.

"So how long are they keeping you here?"

"Probably another day. Have you talked to Hunter today?"

"Yeah, he swung by our house earlier," Lori nodded.

"Okay. I haven't seen him since yesterday," she admitted, "and he, uh, has my phone."

"Are you serious?" Lori frowned.

"Yeah."

"We'll get you a new phone," Guy gave her a small smile.

"Did, uhm, uhm, Hunter tell you?" She bit her lip.

"Tell us what?" Ryder asked.

"I'm 15 weeks pregnant, which means there's a possibility-"

"It could be Christian's," Guy sat down.

"Yeah," Hannah covered her face.

"Oh, Hannah," Lori laid a hand on her leg, "I'm sorry."

"Are you going to tell Christian?" Guy asked.

"I feel like I should," she bit her lip, "I just. I just want to talk to Hunter."

"I'm going to drag him here by his ear," Lori stood up and walked away.

"I've got a lot of studying to do for midterms. Glad you're doing better, Han," Ryder walked out leaving Hannah and Guy alone.

"Do you think I should tell Christian? Hunter doesn't want me to."

"I think Christian has a right to know. Hunter loves you, but he's worried about Christian. He thinks that you'll leave him and go back to Christian because you two always break up and get back together."

"But I said yes to marrying Hunter. I accepted his proposal. A-and it was on the anniversary of when Christian asked me to marry him when we were kids. I love Hunter."

Guy took her hand, "he's worried you love Christian more."

She sighed, "a part of me will always love Christian and be with him, but my future is with Hunter."

Guy smiled at her. He squeezed her hand and gave her a hug, "I've never doubted your love for my son. You're good together. I'm going to get you a new phone."

"Thank you."

"Of course. I'll also see about getting you some food."

"I'd like that. Trash can nachos sound good."

"I don't think they serve those in the cafeteria, but I'll see what I can do."

"Oh hey, Dad."

"Hey, Hunter. We were just talking about you," Guy folded his arms.

Hunter nodded stiffly. He walked over to the hospital bed and kissed Hannah's forehead, "hey, baby."

"Hi, Hunter."

"I'll let you two be. Stay strong, Han," Guy pat her hand.

Hannah nodded with a small smile. Hunter sat down in the chair where is father had been. She studied him carefully. He looked tired and angry. She figured she was in for a less than pleasant conversation with her fiancé. He took her hand.

"I'm sorry, Hannah. I shouldn't have walked out and stayed away for so long."

"Thank you," she murmured, "I know it's a shock. We need to talk about what to do."

"I want you to get an abortion," Hunter was strangely calm.

"WHAT?!" Hannah shrieked, "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?"

"No," he shook his head, "I cannot stand the thought of you being pregnant with Christian's kid. It's literally making me sick."

"YOU ARE literally sick?! I'm in the fucking hospital!" She yelled.

"Hannah," Hunter held his hands up.

"I can't believe what you're saying! We have talked about having kids!"

"We have. But I want our kids to truly be our kids."

"Hunter, this could just as easily be your baby as it could be Christian's."

"I talked to the doctor, and they said the soonest they can do a paternity is once the baby is born. I don't want to get attached and risk it not being my baby. That keep Christian in our lives, and you know how I feel about that."

"I do," Hannah looked down.

"I still feel like I need to tell Christian. I owe it to him. We had talked about kids too. He would be devastated to find out."

"Why though? You dramatically broke up with him in Qatar and fought with him in London. You don't owe him anything."

"We dated on and off for over ten years. I can't just erase all that. He's still my best friend's brother."

"So?"

"Hunter, if you were in Christian's position, wouldn't you want to know?"

"No."

"Really?"

"I would not want to know. That would be far too painful," Hunter shook his head, "so please, can you think about it?"

"I'll think about it," Hannah sighed leaning back in the bed.

"Thank you," Hunter squeezed her hand.
