Being told that you're pregnant should be a wonderful thing for any woman, but not Elizabeth. She felt mortified, and she hated herself for feeling that way.

"Liz, you okay?" Tara asked the woman who had all of a sudden went mute.

"Am I okay? How can I be okay? I'm having a baby, and the father and I aren't even together. What in the actual fuck?!" Elizabeth asked although it was a rhetorical question.

"Tig loves kids," Tara started to say before Elizabeth cut her off,"No, he is not going to know. He can't."

"What do you suppose we do? You can't lie for much longer. You'll start showing," Tara told her.

Just as Elizabeth was going to reply, Tig walked in, and she sent a look to Tara, telling her not to say anything.

"You okay baby?" Tig asked, sitting next to her on the bed. She nodded her head,"What happened?"

He sighed,"You remember Opie's wife Donna?" Elizabeth nodded her head for him to continue. "She was shot and killed."

She covered her mouth with the hand that Tig wasn't holding. She hadn't known the woman long, but she felt horrible.

Tara coughed,"Liz, I need to keep you over night, just to be safe."

Elizabeth nodded before Tara walked out, and Tig looked at her,"I'm gonna stay with ya. I'll go grab some clothes."

Elizabeth was shaking her head before he even finished his sentence,"I need to be alone, Alex. Just for right now, okay?" The way she looked at him with her sad eyes hurt him for reasons she didn't even understand.

"Okay," he said to her before kissing her on the head and leaving.

====================
"What do you want me to do man? This kinda shit isn't something you keep from someone," Juice told Tig as the two sat at the bar.

"I don't know man, but she doesn't need to know right now. She's got enough shit on her plate with findin' out about her dad," Tig told him," As far as she's concerned, you're still lookin' for the sister."

Juice couldn't understand Tig's want to keep Elizabeth from the truth, but he nodded,"Okay brother, okay."

====================
*The next morning*
Elizabeth checked herself out of the hospital and headed to her car. Pulling up to her apartment, she noticed a person standing outside of her door. After her mom's attack, she was apprehensive until she noticed that it was only Tara.

"Do doctors always make house calls?" Elizabeth asked as she was unlocking her door,"Come in."

Tara accepted her offer and took a seat on the couch. "I just came by to drop these off," she told Elizabeth as she sat the pamphlets down in front of her. "You left them on your bedside table."

"Thanks," Elizabeth said as she put the pamphlets to the side.

"You seriously considering this?" Tara asked.

"You're overstepping your boundaries," Elizabeth told her blatantly.

"I just don't want anyone hurt," Tara defended.

"You are just my doctor, not my friend. I'm sure this is some sort of illegal shit that you're doing now. Showing up at my house to tell me I shouldn't get an abortion," Elizabeth seethed," You're job stopped when I left the hospital." As she said this Elizabeth opened her door,"I think you should leave Dr. Knowles."
