As soon as he heard the doorknob jiggling he opened it. He wasn't going to let her know this was a kidnapping. "Who are you?" Jo asked, terrified (Mainly for her baby's life).
"I'm Paul. You were very drunk, stumbling out of the bar. I'd be surprised if you remembered anything." He said, smiling. "How are you?".
She knew that wasn't true. She would never have drank while pregnant. That's just not like her. She staggered backwards "I'm fine." She said, bluntly.
"Hungry? I made pancakes." He said, walking into the kitchen. Something was up, but Jo couldn't turn down the pancakes. She hadn't eaten anything in almost 24 hours.
She sat down next to Paul, watching as he poured the syrup over her two pancakes. "That's enough." She said softly. There wasn't much talking between the two. So there they sat, quietly eating their pancakes. Maybe the feeling she had was wrong. He seemed really nice.

Alex sat on the couch with his head in his hands. How could he? He drove his pregnant girlfriend away because of his ex-wife? He finally remembered what Jo said; There's no way she had a baby.
He sprung up, grabbing his coat. He needed to talk to Izzie (or yell). He slid his shoes on and ran out, shivering as the snowflakes touched his nose. He hopped into his car and drove to the nearest trailer park. That's where he figured she would be staying. She figured she would be staying with her mom.
