Riley Perrin sat on the couch in the wheeler apartment, her head in her hands, two tears escaping down her cheeks. Ben paced back and forth in front of her, his eyes in a rage. He stopped in front of her.
"Are you sure you're telling me the truth Riley?" He yelled.
Riley lifted her head "yes Ben, I'm positive. I have the sonograms, The tests, everything to prove it."
He sighed and said "How can this happen? I know, it's one of your ploys to get back at me because I chose Angela over you. That's it isn't it?"
Riley cried "No Ben, you know that's not the reason. It's not like I made the decision on my own, it was pretty mutual."
"I don't want to hear it!" He yelled back.
Riley stood up to face Ben. "You know what Ben? This is ridiculous! You didn't freak out when you found out about Emma, why is this baby any different?"
Ben's mind was going about a mile a minute. What was he going to do? How could Riley be pregnant? He'd been so careful. What would happen when Angela found out?
"Riley, get out!" He yelled "get out!"
"No Ben, I'm waiting for Danny."
"I said get out!" He yelled

Danny got off the elevator and heard yelling coming from the apartment, then he heard a fist connect with a body. He burst through the door and saw Riley fall onto the couch, and Ben standing over her. "Ben!! What the hell? Get out!!" Danny screamed.
Ben grabbed his coat and left the apartment. Danny picked Riley up and dialed 911. "He's gonna be sorry." Danny said as looked at the swelling eye on an unconscious Riley.
