Genesis parked her car in the hospitals parking lot. she got her purse from the passenger seat and got out of the car.

as she was walking to the entrance, she hears, "Genesis!"

she turns around quickly, and widens her eyes at the sight of Dylan.

"what're you doing here?!" Genesis asks. "did you seriously follow me?!"

"something was up." Dylan simply said. "you're pregnant, aren't you."

"no. I'm not." Genesis lies. but her lie did seem quite convincing due to her tone of voice.

"then what're you doing here?" Dylan asks.

"a monthly checkup." Genesis said. "now go home Dylan."

"Genes-"

"go home Dylan!" she gives him a stern look before continuing her way in.

Dylan takes a seat at the blue bench by the door, waiting for her to return.

"the baby looks like a blue berry." the doctor chuckled while looking at the screen, Genesis doing the same.

"you're just a smidge over two months. it's still a little risky." the doctor said. Genesis nodded while wiping the gel off of her stomach.

"I'll leave you in here to get cleaned up. I'll see you in two weeks." the doctor smiled at Genesis before leaving her in the room.

Genesis put her shirt down then got off the table.

she fixed her shirt then got her purse and left the room.

on her way out, Dylan spotted her.

he got up from the bench and ran after her.

"Genesis!"

Genesis groaned and turned around.

"Dylan, I said to go home!"

"just wanted to make sure you're alright. are you healthy?" Dylan asked.

"yes, I'm doing great. now please leave me alone before I get restraining order on you." Genesis rolled her eyes then continued walking to her car.

she got her car keys out of her purse, Dylan walking behind her. "you wouldn't take it that far."

"you're right, I wouldn't. now leave me alone!"

"is the little one healthy?"

Genesis stopped walking.

"c'mon gen. you can't lie to me. I know your pregnant."

Genesis turned around quickly. "You shut it now! you will go home and never talk to me again! don't message me, don't call me, don't do anything! I'll stay out of your hair if you stay out of mine!"

she held back the tears.

"if this is my baby, which it is... I would like to be apart of his or hers life." Dylan said.

"no, no you can't be in the blue berry's life! he's happy! we're happy! don't ruin it." Genesis shook her head.

"me?! I'd be the one ruining it?!" Dylan squinted his eyes and pointed a finger. "Me and you caused this. it takes two to tangle Genesis."

"please dylan." Genesis's voice cracked. "please let me be."

Dylan looked at her for a minute or two before walking away quickly.

Genesis sighed, looking down.

"excuse me. are you going to leave soon? I need a parking spot." Genesis turned her head at the woman in her car. she smiled a sweet smile at Genesis. Genesis knew she heard the whole thing.

"oh, yes... yes. I'm leaving."
