"How is she?" Grace asked Claire. She had never been thankful for having a doctor in the house.

"She's resting," Claire said after taking her blood pressure and other vital signs. "I draw up some blood just to be sure. What happened before she fainted?"

"Well, she looked really pale," Grace said. "And she was looking for Hayden."

"She was?" Hayden glance at Grace. "Why?"

"I don't know," Grace nodded at the worried man sitting beside her daughter. "She suddenly threw up and fainted."

"Was she complaining some kind...any kind of discomfort before she fainted or the past few days?"

"No-"

"Yes," Deanne said, when she remembered their conversation in Reinne's room. "She was complaining about the tightness of her chest and that she should buy a new set of bras."

Claire nod and glance at Reinne's sleeping form, then turn to Hayden. "Can I talk to you privately?"

Hayden glance at Claire's disturbed reaction and followed her out the room. "What's wrong?"

"I can't prove it yet, unless she had a check up with a specialist or until the blood result came back," Claire whispered. "All I can do right now is a rough examination."

Hayden glance at her. He understood now why medicine wasn't his first choice in college. "What are you talking about?"

"There's a possibility that Ivy's pregnant."

Hayden stood rooted at his spot. Pregnant? He glance at Claire, he should trust her judgement since she's a doctor. Pregnant! He should have had seen that coming since they had an unprotected sex once, but there's a 2% chance that she won't be pregnant. Too bad they fell on the 98%.

He opened the door, headed straight to Reinne, grabbing her hand and press a kiss on it. He felt tears fell on her palm, but they weren't sadness. He's going to be father. Who wouldn't want that?

The rest who were in the room, stared at the crying man in shock. What's going on? Claire entered the room a minute after Hayden entered.

"What was the thing you and Hayden talked about?" Cj asked his girlfriend.

"I'll tell you when she wakes up," Claire said with a small smile on her face. Her phone vibrated indicating a message from her friend, she opened the email and glance at the results. She saw that coming.

Reinne felt raindrops on her palm. She opened her eyes and was greeted by the eyes she loved. Those weren't raindrops, it was Hayden's tears touching her palm. What happened? She remembered vomiting and fainting. What happened afterwards. "Hayden? What's going on?"

Hayden let out a sigh of relief and press a kiss on her forehead. "Thank God. How are you feeling?"

"Tired," Reinne move to sit up with Hayden's assistance.

"Honey, are you okay?" Reinne saw her mother sat on her other side, with worry on her face.

"Don't scare us like that again, okay?" Deanne said after hugging her friend.

"Yan, can't breathe," Reinne patted her friend's back. "I'm fine. What happened?"

"You fainted," Cj said. "Your lucky Claire was here and she was able to do a quick check up on you."
