I sat in my bathroom staring at the wall as I sat on the floor. Rose was asleep, Y/n's out of town, Colin and Cosmo are still in New York. I didn't know what to do with myself. I didn't want to get up, nor did I want to look at myself right now. I took a deep breath beginning to stand up but quickly sat back down. No. No. My night replayed in my head.

Start Flashback...

"Mmm, okay, I have to go or I'll miss my flight." Y/n said as she kept trying to pull away from me. I koala hugged her trying to get her to stay so she wouldn't have to leave me.

"You know I wouldn't leave if I didn't have to, baby. I'll be back soon though, Atlanta, hopefully Miami, and then I'll be back home. It's playoff time."

"I know and I'm so proud of you but it's been such a long and hard week and having you not here for however long sounds like hell." I whined.

"Well, it'll make you miss me a lot more and you'll get a treat when I come back. Sex is always better when you've had time to miss me." She winked.

"Or you could give it to me now." I smirked tugging at her pants. "Do I need to bring Natasha Romanoff back out?"

"You brought the suit?!" I laughed at her eagerness. "No but it seems I should have." I laughed as Y/n pouted. I quickly kissed her lips as I sat on my knees in the bed. She stood in front of me, her hand on my cheek as her thumb lightly caressed it. "I'll be back sooner than you realize. I love you." I sighed and hugged her, holding her tight as she peppered kisses on me. "I love you more. Be safe and I'll be watching."

Y/n kissed me once more as she grabbed her bags and headed downstairs. I followed behind her immediately getting sad at the thought of being without her. I know this may seem like a lot but, being without her is hell.

"Scar, you look so sad, you and Rose could come with me." Y/n pouted. "I can't, I have things to take care of here, I'd go if I could. I've just had a hard week, I'd prefer if you didn't have to leave." I said honestly. Since the day I had court, I've felt uneasy and anxious.

I've also been so tired and drained and I think it's all because of Romain and then arguing with Colin. She's been one of the main reasons I've been able to hold it together and she's also been helping me with Rose since the lawyers are pretty much in and out of my house every day as we work to try and build my case.

"Like I said, I'll be back before you know it. One for the road." She said signaling that she wants a kiss. I attached my lips to her as we shared a passionate kiss before pulling away and letting her leave.

I decided to head to bed early seeing as I had nothing else to do for the night. I looked over at the clock seeing it was around 10 now. I couldn't sleep though and once again, I was up hurrying to the bathroom. Okay that's it, I think I have a UTI. I know Y/n is clean- or I hope so. I grabbed my phone and called Chris.

"Hey!" He said clearly wide awake. "Hey, sorry to bother um, I need a favor."

"Uh huh- wait- if you and Y/n are trying to use my house for sex the answer is no me and Dodger-"

"No, why would we even- never mind, can you come over and watch Rose? Or I can bring her to you. I need to go to the doctor."

"Are you okay?" Chris asked getting worried suddenly. "Yeah I just, tmi but, I think I have a UTI and want to get it checked."

"Oh yeah of course, you can bring her over."

"Alright I'm on my way." I hung up and went into Rose's room grabbing her jacket. I woke her up and told her to follow me out the house after I put her shoes on her feet. I locked up the house and headed to Chris' place. "Thank you so much." I said as I handed off my sleeping daughter to him. "No problem, let me know how it goes." I nodded giving Chris a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

It didn't take long for me to get to the doctor's. I called my doctor ahead of time and told her I was coming in since I don't usually like to be seen by anyone else and I know she won't go blabber to people about me being here.

I sat in the room waiting for Dr. Cunningham. "This is a late and unexpected visit." She smiled as she came in. "What's going on?" She asked as she sat in front of me. "I think I have a UTI, I just wanted to come get that checked just in case it's something else."

"Well I highly doubt it's an STD but let's get a look. Here you go, pee up to the line." She hands me a cup and walks out of the room as I went to the bathroom. It didn't take long since I've been peeing what seems like every 5 minutes. Dr. Cunningham had a nurse take it to get tested and I sat waiting around. I was scrolling through my phone when Dr. Cunningham came back in.

She closed the door behind her as she smiled at me. "So good news, it's not a UTI."

"Oh thank god. What is it?" I said relieved. "You're pregnant!" she exclaimed and my heart sunk. "What? No no, I'm sure it's a UTI- that has to be a mistake." Dr. Cunningham looked at me confused as she raised her eyebrow. "You wanted a UTI?"

"No I just I- I can't be pregnant." I laughed off. "Oh no honey, you're pregnant." Dr. Cunningham handed me some paperwork. "Do you want to schedule your first appointment?"

"What? I- yeah just um- when's the soonest appointment?"

"I can squeeze you in possibly next week or the week after but it'll be in my New York office."

"Okay that's fine." I sat there thinking about how fucked up my life is at this given moment. And don't get me wrong, having a child is one of the greatest gifts ever but, it's more complicated when you know it isn't your husbands child. Instead, it's his daughter's child.

Dr. Cunningham wrapped up everything sending me on my way and I quickly rushed to the nearest CVS, covering my face as much as I could and bought numerous amounts of pregnancy tests before heading to Chris to get Rose. This cannot be happening.

... End Flashback

I finally gathered the courage to get up. I took a deep breath before finally looking down at my sink where 6 tests sat. Pregnant. Positive. Pregnant. Pregnant. Pregnant. Pregnant.

I felt sick to my stomach. What the hell am I supposed to do now? I picked up one of the tests and tears began to fall. I let out a sob and began to cry harder but quickly pulled myself together not wanting to wake up my daughter. Plan B is bullshit. I grabbed my phone and called my best friend. My twin brother, Hunter.

"Hello?" he said sleepily through the phone.

"I messed up- Hunter- I-"

"Scarlett what's wrong?" I could tell he was now awake. "Scarlett?" he repeated.

"I messed up- I didn't mean to but then we couldn't stop and-"

"Hey, calm down. It's okay, whatever it is, it's okay, I'll be there in the morning, whatever it is, we'll handle it but Scarlett, get some sleep please." This was his way of both rushing me off the phone and trying to reassure me. But then again, I did just wake him up.

"Okay." I cried out. I couldn't get a grip on my emotions. I mustered up the strength and headed to my bedroom, my brother talking to me as sleep took over my tired body.

"One more question." I took a swig of my drink as I looked around before picking a reporter. "Heather."

"What were your expectations for the season and did you see yourself taking the team to the playoffs in your first year with them? What do you think your ceiling is?"

"Well, my whole goal with this season, and with every other season in my career was to excel and elevate my game and lead my team to victories to end up where everyone who plays the sport wants to be. On the top of the mountain, playing in the Super Bowl. Obviously, our jobs aren't finished, we notched our first win of the playoffs and we're advancing but, we're taking things one game at a time. My expectations were to always make it to the Super Bowl. We're not there yet, there's still work to do but, I'm proud of the heart our team showed tonight while being down what? 21-0 at halftime. Like I said, there's work to do, there's no ceiling, we have to do what we know how to do and make it. We aren't satisfied and we're hungry for it."

I finished, giving the crowd of reporters a smile as I walked off the stage of my post game press conference. I grabbed my bag from my security and headed down the tunnel where I was met with Phoebe. "Ahh would you look at that, I think I have a stalker." I joked as I went and gave her a hug.

"You smell better than I thought you would." She laughed. "I took a shower, I don't leave the stadium sweaty and gross." I say as we headed out to the parking lot.

Our team notched a victory tonight, putting us through to the next round and one step closer to the Super Bowl. "I hope you worked up an appetite, because I'm hungry." Phoebe says as we head to the car where my driver was waiting for us.

We reached a local restaurant in the downtown area of the city of Atlanta and were immediately photographed. I used my hand to shield Phoebe's eyes from the flashes as we walked through the mob of paparazzi who were eagerly throwing the same questions at us.

Are you two dating? How long have you two been together?

It's actually quite funny to us that people actually think we're a thing because that is so far from the truth. If only they knew.

"One picture!" One guy shouted out making Phoebe and I laugh at their eagerness. "Should we give them what they want?" She questioned with a smirk on her face. We stopped and turned to the camera's posing for pictures together before walking into the restaurant laughing at how stupid this narrative is.

.  .  .

"Scarlett... Scarlett." I hear as someone lightly shook my body. I woke up to my twin brother, Hunter, standing beside my bed lightly shaking me awake. "Hunter?" I said sleepily as he gave me a warm smile. "Rose let me in, how are you feeling?" Well he must've jumped on the first plane out of New York.

"Rose-" I quickly sat up in bed freaking out slightly. "Hey, calm down, she's fine, I made her breakfast. Right now, we need to focus on you. You sounded rattled on the phone last night, what's going on?" Hunter looked at me, his eyes filled with worry.

I knew I'd have no problem telling him what's going on, he's my best friend and the person I'm closest to on this earth. I just knew I wouldn't be able to omit the detail about Y/n because if this was Colin's child, I wouldn't have freaked out like I did. And I know what you're thinking, why can't it be Colin's? Well I haven't been having sex with Colin, that only leaves one person in the equation.

"I dropped Rose off with Chris last night and went to the hospital because I thought I had a UTI. I did a urine test and to my surprise, it wasn't a UTI but, my doctor told me I'm pregnant." I said as I began to cry again.

Hunter pulled me into his arms with a smile on his face. "That's amazing! Or not?" he said confused as he noticed me crying. "I'm clearly missing something here, what is it?"

"I-" Before I could tell him anything, my phone began to ring. As if on time, Y/n was calling. Her picture flashed onto my screen and it made my heart sink out of my chest. I watched the phone ring, I wasn't ready to talk to her, no matter how bad I wanted to on the inside.

"Scarlett..."

"It's not Colin's... I haven't had sex with Colin-"

Hunter stood up again, his mind clearly blown before he went back to being concerned for me. "Who's child is it?" I was afraid to look him in the eye at this point. Hunter always supports me no matter what but, with this, this could go in any direction. "Scarlett, who's child is it?" he asked again. "Look, I can't help you if you don't give me anything to go off of."

I took a deep breath before looking him in the eyes. "It's Y/n's, his daughter, we've been seeing each other for a little while now and I know what you're probably thinking, yes I'm stupid. This was the wrong move and I didn't mean for any of this to happen but, I love her."

"WHAT?!" He yelled. "Scarlett, oh my gosh how- why- his daughter?!"

"Shh, look, I know how bad this looks and you know I would never cheat on Colin if I didn't feel so strongly about someone else-"

"His daughter, of all people... so what are you going to tell both of them when they notice you're pregnant?"

"Well that's the thing, they aren't going to find out because I've been thinking and, I want to get an abortion."

Hunter's eyes widened as he ran a hand through his hair and began to pace my room. "That's completely your choice and I respect it but, don't you think Y/n has a right to know about her child? I'm not telling you what to do because you know no matter what you choose to do, I'll be here but, I can't imagine how she'll feel if she somehow finds out she had a child coming into the world and just never knew."

He has a point but won't that cause more of an issue? "What if I tell her and she wants me to keep it? I couldn't do that, not only would we be at odds but the more time I wait, the more obvious it'll become and there's a greater risk that Colin finds out, not to mention I won't be eligible for an abortion past a certain point. I can't do that. I'm not telling her."

"Okay, but you won't do it alone, I'll be there with you." was all Hunter could say as he put his hand in mine, giving it a firm squeeze.

And yes, I feel bad. I know I should tell her but I know I won't be able to look at her. She wants kids, in the future, and if I tell her my plans, it'll break her. I can't do that to her. Some things are just better left unsaid.
