Génesis woke up to people hurrying her down the bright hall.

"We have to check the babies heart rate right now." one said.

"page ob!"

she squinted her eyes to the left of her and saw a familiar man running with them.

she tried to reach her hand up to touch his face, but he brought her hand down and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"You'll be fine." He said.

"Sir, are you her husband?" the doctor asked.

"Yes."

Dylan knew he shouldn't lie but it's his baby.

The doctor nodded as they brought her into a room, shutting the curtains.

they lifted the sheet and were relieved that she wasn't losing anymore blood.

the ob doctor walked in, smiling at the two.

"Hi, I'm Dr. Lop- Oh, gen."

"You're her doctor?" Dylan asked.

"I am, yes." Dr. Lopez nodded. "You must be dylan."

"How'd you-?"

"Okay Gen, were gonna hear for a heartbeat."

As silence rang in the room, they all waited for the fetal heartbeat.

a few seconds after looking around, she found it.

"You hear that?" Dylan smiled down to genesis.

"Now, lets see if their positioned nicely."

as she looked at the screen, she smiled.

"Healthy." dr. perez nodded.

"why was she bleeding?" dylan asked.

"It's not unusual, but maybe you could take it easy for a few days." she told genesis.

genesis cleaned her stomach and thanked dr. lopez.

"This is great!" Dylan smiled wide.

Genesis just glared at him.

"I came as fast as i can." Nate breathed. "Who's he?"

"I'm dylan." dylan put his hand out to shake nates, which nate did.

"He's my cousin." genesis said quickly. "From california."

"I've never heard of you?" nate said.

dylan looked down at gen then looked back nate.

"I'm not important." Dylan chuckled. "I'll leave you two."

he walked out of the room, walk in to the waiting room.

he grabbed his phone and dialed tyler.

"Hey man, how is she?" tyler asked.

"She's fine. baby is fine. everything's fine." dylan breathed. "Nate's here."

"nate is her husband, rig-?" tyler asked. "Wait he's there? Right now?!"

"Yeah. He showed up. I mean, obviously he would, he's the fath- husband." dylan sighed. "He's gen's husband."

"dude, you got this." tyler said. "Did you meet him?"

"Yeah. Good looking dude." Dylan nodded. "I'm supposedly her cousin."

"You're kidding?" tyler said. "Dude, why won't you just take this to court. This is your child!"

"I know, I know. But, i'm going to wait this out. Y'know, see if she comes around? If not, then yeah. I'll go to court." Dylan said. "crazy for her to  think that i'm just going to leave."

"How's the bar?" dylan asked.

"It's fine." Tyler said. "People coming in - n - out."

"I'll be heading over there soon." Dylan said. "bye."

dylan walked back to gen's room and saw that her and nate were having a conversation. they were smiling. laughing. kissing.

dylan didn't want to interrupt.

he gave one last look at the couple then left.

left away from the door.

left out of the waiting room.

left out of the hospital.

but, he's not leaving her - not leaving his unborn child.

and genesis just has to live it with it.
