"I think we should tell the family about us."

I stared at X like he had two heads on him and shook my head. We were sitting in the doctors office for my 6 month check up, so I had to keep from making a scene.

"Why would you even want to say anything right now? The family is a mess without me adding this into it."

"Well when the baby is born, clearly they'll realize it's mine and that will be an even worse way to come out." He had a point, but I wasn't ready for that.

"We will tell everyone about us, but the baby being yours stays quiet. You just broke up with Ava. That's like adding more salt to an open wound." He sighed but nodded his head.

It was better than nothing. "Zoe Anderson?" Me and X stood up and followed the nurse to the back room. The doctor was already in the room and I smiled at her.

"Hey doc."

"Hello Zoe, ready to find out the sex?" I glanced at X to see what his decision was and saw that he was looking at me with the same indecison.

"I want to know, but it's all up to you, baby." I smiled at X and squeezed his hand.

"We would love to know the sex." The doctor squeezed on the gel and rubbed the wand thing over my protruding belly.

"Well congratulations, you're having-" she paused and rolled the wand over my belly more and had a concentrated look on.

"Is something wrong?" X asked nervously. I was starting to squeeze his hand a little tighter and I was getting nervous too.

Was something wrong with my baby?

"No, no. Your baby is healthy it's just that they're turned so I can't quite tell the sex." I released my breath and smiled. I didn't care as long as my baby was healthy.

"There we go! Okay you're having a-"

Gionni's POV (bet you guys hate me right now :P)

I'm a mess. Becca won't talk to me and I don't know what to do anymore. I just want my sister and boyfriend back.

"This is Elliot. Leave a message at the tone." BEEP.

"El, it's Gio. I know you hate me right now,baby. I don't blame you, but I love you and I need you. I'll do anything to make this right. Anything." I took a shaky breath and hung up the phone.

How could I have been so stupid. I had everything I could ever want and somehow I still didn't realize it.

That night at the club had been so stressful and I just wanted a couple drinks. When I saw Ava there stumbling around, me and my co worker decided to help her out but when we got to her place, my co worker passed out and she seduced me.

Not a good enough reason to cheat, but that's what happened. I put my face in my hands and took deep breaths until the burning sensation behind my eyes went away.

I needed to fix this mess I'd made.

I drove to Becca's house and opened the door with my spare key. She was in the kitchen cooking when I got there.

"Beck." She jumped and turned around, but her eyes went to stone when she noticed me.

"Get out of my house." I felt my eyes watering again.

"Becky, please. I already lost all my friends and the love of my life. I can't lose you too. You're my twin sister. When I don't have you, I feel so lost."

I saw her hesitate, but she shook her head. "I can't even look Zoe in the face without feeling so guilty. What you did affected me too."

" I know, sis. And I'm so so sorry. I'll do everything in my power to fix it."

I got up and hugged Becca tightly before kissing her head and making my way to my car.

My next step was to grovel at Elliot's feet for forgiveness. I loved him so much.

I was driving and I was almost to his neighborhood. I felt weird for a second, then everything seized up and blackness engulfed me.

Zoe's POV

It was just me and X celebrating our baby girl. Becca or Gionni weren't taking my calls and Ava hasn't shown back up to my house since the confrontation with Gio.

I think X noticed my expression because he grabbed my hand and kissed it. "Everything will work out for the best. So do you think this weekend would be too soon to tell the family about us."

I nodded my head. I was just so nervous to tell them because I didn't want them to judge me. X pulled his hand away from me and sighed.

"You know, I love you and our baby so much, but I can't do this anymore. You're ashamed of me whether you want to admit it or not. I'll be out of the house by tonight."

He got up and kissed my forehead and I sat there in shock. X just left me. I sobbed into my hands and just felt sorry for myself. I'd just found out the happiest news of my life and I ruined it.

My phone was ringing and I looked at the caller ID and saw my mothers picture.

"Mom?"

"Get to the hospital. Gionni's been in a car accident."

I got the details from my mom and jumped out of my seat. Luckily X had paid for the food already.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and rushed to the hospital. In this week, I'd lost 3 friends, a boyfriend and I was on my way to losing a sister.

I'll be damned if I lose them permanently.
