About two weeks later Ben walked into the recording studio . He saw Rey was in the booth alone .

He sat down in the chair and decided to watch her sing and listen to her glorious voice .

He looked at the brunette, she was wearing black leggings and blue shirt he looked at her and saw a small bump forming on her belly .

Her kid ... and someone else's . God ... he wished Sarah and never shown up and all that crap didn't happen.

It would mean that she wouldn't be pregnant , she would be in his arms again and they would be recording their own song.

"I hate you
I hate you
I love you
I hate you
Don't do it
I need you
Forget it
I know you
My God how I hate you
Don't leave me
I love you
Don't say that you love me
Cause what does it matter?
You're going to leave me
So leave me, whatever
It's not like I need you
I need you
Don't leave me
You know I'm not selfish
But me, me, me, I, I, I
Need you to stay...
Okay?" Oh god her voice was so wonderful . All he wanted to do was smash that window that stood between them and kiss her.

"Let's look at this calmly
Discuss how I hate you
The ways that you've hurt me
Though really you haven't
You're clearly about to
Don't touch me
I hate you
Just leave us, whatever
We'll get on without you
I'm tough and resourceful
I'm steady and sturdy
And freaking the fuck out
I love you
I hate you
So screw you
you're making me crazy
So go!" She then finished the song softly and then the music began again.

"Wait, no!
In my life, I've always said I don't need anyone.
I like our life and I love you.
And, I swore that I'd love, without wanting or needing you.
But it's too late; I need you too."

Ben saw a tear roll down her cheek and her hand on her growing belly.

"You're the reason I think this life not be meaningless.
You're my North Star, my map to grace.
You're my single best decision.
In a life of many awful ones.
My one big yes, my one embrace
With you I never feel I'm out of place." She ran her hands over her belly and smiled down at the forming child .

"God damn it, you did it
I knew you would do it
You asshole
I hate you
I totally blame you
And really, how could you?
I hate you
I hate you
I hate that I hate you
I hate that I love you
I love you  I- " she took a deep breath and sang again.

"Loved... you.
I loved you.
I lost you
I hate you
God damn you
You asshole
You mother fucker!
In my life, I haven't made that many promises.
Just one him, now to you too.
That I will never let this world take me away from you." She sighed with her voice still rolling on.

"I brought you both here.
I'll see you through.
Whatever comes.
Whatever I must do.

It's me and you.
It's me and you.
It's me and you." She finished then walked out of the booth , a tear on her cheek.

"Ben ... what are you doing here ?" She asked .

"Just stopped by to do some back up vocals ... you sounded really good did you write that?"

"Uh - yeah I did..." she said.

"Rey... I know things left off really bad -"

"Uh-huh ?" She asked reaching for a water bottle to drink .

"I was wondering ... I'm not asking to be with you or anything because I know you don't want that... but would ... would it be okay if I came over tonight ? Maybe some Chinese food ?" He asked.

"Um... " she looked around , "that would be okay... I guess ... around 7 okay ? If I don't answer in like 5 minutes it's because I'm throwing up so go ahead and just let yourself in" she said and grabbed her phone then walked out of the recording room.

Ben smiled to himself and threw his fist in the air , yes ! He was in ! Back in ; not necessarily dating but they might she maybe kiss him if things go right tonight !
