As we've decided to stick to the tradition that every night we do our homework together at Topanga's, Josh and I are currently on our way there to meet Riley, Lucas, Farkle and Enid, who are already there.
"So, My, when do you think you'll finish up at school?" Josh asks me as we walk hand in hand down the street.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you're getting pretty far along now and Olympia's due before summer, and you're starting to get tired a lot easier and struggling to walk as far and she is getting pretty heavy for you. When are you going to stop coming into school?" Josh explains.
"Oh, I get what you mean, I don't know. I want to go as far as I can without coming out of school, maybe until 36, 37 weeks?"
"What if you go into labour early though? Like Riley." He says, worrying, but starting to annoy me, and I'm in an irritable mood today as it is because of these damn hormones.
"Josh, calm down would you? The doctor will know when it's nearly time for her to come and I'll stop then."
"Are they physic?" He's really testing my patience now.
"No. Olympia will move around and 'drop' which is when she'll be ready. Knowing my luck and family history, she'll be late anyway."
"And knowing mine, she won't." Great now we are gonna argue, we never argue. "I was so early I nearly died, Riley was early, so was Amelie. No one is ever late in my family." He continues.
"Whatever Joshua. I'm not arguing with you." I say and speed off in front.
"I thought I killed it." I hear a sly voice say in disappointment. I turn around to see Kelly stood in an alley.

"I'm really not in the mood, bitch." I say and carry on walking.
"Oh no you don't." She says and drags me into the edge of the alley.
"Are you even sure it's Josh's? I mean it's probably Cowboy's or Genius's. Or some fat old man that paid you, that's probably more likely." She spits at me and I slap her either side of her face, one side after the other.
"I wouldn't do that today fatty, your husband isn't here to save you this time." She warns.
"I can fend for myself thank you very much." I reply.
"Sure. Which is why you self harm, even when you are pregnant, and tried to kill yourself is it? Why don't I walk you up to the top of this fire escape and help you succeed this time? Even if it doesn't, that bitch in there would be dead, and Josh would hate you for that. And I would have tried to stop you and make you think of the baby, but you didn't care, you just wanted it gone and he'd get with me instead." She says, viscously and sharply poking my obvious bump, it hurts too. Why did me and Josh have to fight?
"No." I tell her.
"You know something Maya? I feel sorry for you, I really do, because it wasn't you that took away Josh's virginity, it was me, he lied to you Maya and I also feel sorry for the fact that you are going to be just like your mother and that thing will be like you because when we were finished making love Josh confessed that on your birthday, and wedding anniversary he was going to leave you and what ever children you have, and we are going to run away together, to Europe. And then you'll leave your daughter, after being a terrible mother and then she'll attempt suicide, only she'll succeed because even then, she'll still be better at something than you, but it will be the only thing she is good at apart from cutting and being ugly. I should get rid of it now and do everyone a favour." She tells me, and these damn hormones are making me believe it. I know I'm gonna start crying soon, my hormones are so much stronger than I am.
"Finally. I see you cry." She says happily. I gather all my strength and punch her in the face, she punches me in the face back, and it hurts bad, the weight of the baby bump makes me weaker than normal in a fight, I still manage to punch her in the gut, taking her aback slightly, giving me chance to try to get away, but she follows me back out into the street and punches upwards, at the bottom of my bump, I manage to stay on my feet though.
"Olympia." I cry, placing my hands on the bump, I feel her kick, weakly. Where the hell has Josh gotten to?
The bitch's final slap sent me front first onto the ground. She kicks me in the back. I try to get up and she shoves me straight back onto the ground with a thud. I whimper in pain.
My stomach is still, usually there is movement, I'm probably paranoid.
Kelly laughed and ran off. Josh eventually turns up and sprints over to me.
"MAYA! Are you okay? The baby, is the baby okay? Is she okay? Are you okay? Are you hurt? Does anything feel wrong?" He panicked as he checked me over.
"Now you care." I spit at him.
"Maya, I'm sorry, and I love you so please, are you both okay?"
"We're fine." I lie, I'm still mad at him.
"No you're not. Stop being so stubborn."
I groan and sigh in frustration.
"Who did this to you?" He asks, helping me up.
"K-Kelly." I say, letting out a light sob.
"I'm calling the cops."
"Joshua." I say, sternly, not wanting him too.
"Fine. Let's get you to Topanga's, everyone's there. We can double check you are okay as well." He explains.
We slowly walk to Topanga's, Josh supporting me, despite me protesting.
When we arrive, I feel another little pain in my abdomen. I ignore it though.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom." I say.
"I'll walk you there and wait outside in case you need me."
"Whatever." I roll my eyes.
When I go into the bathroom, I lift up my top, there is a really black bruise at the bottom of my bump. I sit down and see blood everywhere. I start let out a loud and agonising sob.
"No." I whisper weakly.
"Maya?" Josh calls.
"C-c-can y-y-y-ou get in?" I trail off, I begin to feel dizzy.
I hear Josh break in.
"Maya?" He comes over to me. "Oh Maya. We need to get you to the hospital."
"No hos-" I stop as I double over in pain and let out a cry of pain.
"Maya?"
"J-J-Jo-Josh." I whimper.
I collapse into Josh's arms.
He picks me up bridal style and hurries me out to the front as I drift in and out of consciousness.
"Oh my god!" Voices are calling out.
"Someone call 911!" Josh cries.
"J-J-Josh?" I whisper.
"I'm right here baby." He soothes as he sits us down.
"I-I lo-love you. I'm sorry we fought and I stormed off, this is all my fault." I croak.
"And I love you. And it's me that should be sorry about the fight and this isn't you're fault, I promise." He kisses my forehead.
"If we, i-if th-the baby and I d-don't m-make it." I say weakly.
"You're both gonna be fine. Don't talk like that."
"Promise me. That you make sure that everyone stays happy. Especially you and Riley, find love again Josh. Please. Promise me. And if you have to, save the baby over me." I am now crying, despite how weak I am.
"Maya. Y-you're. I-I."
"Promise me!" I say firmly.
"The baby comes first. I promise. But you're both going to be okay so don't think like that."
"J-josh. Olympia. It's her name. I love you all..." I trail off as I begin to pass out.
Everything hurts. It's all spinning. I feel so heavy. So paralysed.
"Maya!"

Black.
