Jared and Lizzie were laying together in her hospital bed, Lizzie curled into his chest with her eyes squeezed shut tightly. Jared had one hand tangled in her hair as the other drew soft circles on her back in what he hoped was a comforting way. They were waiting on the test results and both of them couldn't have been more nerve wracked. Of course, if Lizzie was pregnant, there was no doubt in his mind that he was going to help her raise the baby. But he didn't know if she wanted him to. What if she thought it would be awkward or didn't want him involved? He couldn't lose her. Not after this.

Lizzie was nerve wracked as well, for a completely different reason of course. She had no idea how she was going to raise a child. She had always wanted kids of course, and she was already thirty five. But she did not want it to happen like this.

They both jumped up when the doctor came in, both their hearts pounding in their chests. The doctor smiled softly, tilting her head to the side. "Boyfriend?" She asked, looking over at Jared, who nodded slowly. "I'm Doctor Fuller. And you can both relax. Lizzie, you're not pregnant."

Lizzie nearly cried out with relief, sighing as she flopped against Jared's side, burying her face into his shirt. "Thank God," She whispered.

Jared laughed softly, pulling her gently into his lap. "Feel better?"

"Mhm. You?"

"Yeah."

"You're definitely going to be a little sore for a while, and I won't lie, there may be some PTSD. But other than that, you should be good to go." Doctor Fuller said, folding her hands against her waist.

"Thank you, Doc." Lizzie said softly, resting her head gently against Jared's shoulder.

"No problem. I'll give you two some time." Doctor Fuller smiled before exiting the room, leaving the two alone again.

"Lizzie?"

"Hm?"

"You do know, even if you had been pregnant, I would have stayed. You know what, right?" Jared asked softly, looking down adoringly into her bright blue eyes.

Lizzie smiled softly, reaching up to cup his cheek gently into her palm. "Of course I do."

Jared smiled softly, looking up when the hospital room door opened, Blair Matthews stepping inside with tears in her eyes.

"Where is she? Where's my baby?" She said, her eyes landing on her daughter.

"Hey, Mom," Lizzie said softly, getting to her feet and stepping forward to embrace her mother.

"Oh, baby girl," Blair whispered, rocking her daughter slowly in her arms. "Are you okay? What hurts?"

Lizzie chuckled softly, pressing her face into her mother's shoulder and closing her eyes. "I'm fine, mom. Just sore."

"Oh, my baby. I was scared to death." Blair whispered, cradling her daughter's head gently. She looked back at Jared and smiled softly, mouthing a small "Thank you."

Jared smiled. Lizzie was alive and everything was okay. And that's all that mattered.
