"Baby the chapel says we can get in there on Thursday" Kevin hung up the phone and looked at Skylar who was propped up with pillows, with earphones stretched dangerously close to their breaking limit, around her stomach. Kevin smiled and climbed back into bed with his fiancee. "What is peanut listening to this morning?" Kevin kissed her stomach.
"Peanut is listening to daddy and I think that peanut is loving it, although when Uncle Nick hits the high notes Peanut jumped." Skylar laughed and kissed Kevin, running her soft hands over his neck and up through his hair. "So we can have the chapel on Thursday, do you think that is enough time to get everyone here?"
"Baby as long as you and I are there, we are the only ones in attnedance that matters" Kevin kissed her softly and rested his head on her stomach and whispered "Peanut your mommy and daddy are getting married" as Skylar ran her fingers through his messy hair.

Kim Ann took a deep breath and walked into the clinic. She knocked on Molly's door but there was no answer. She walked into the rec room and found Molly curled up on the couch near the window writing in her journal.
"Hey you, can I interrupt?" Kim Ann smiled as Molly looked up surprised.
"Of course you can, what are you doing here?" Molly smiled as she scooted over to make room for Kim Ann on the couch.
"Well I just thought I would pop in and say hi before I left for my meeting in Toronto. So how are things?"
"I gained another pound and Doc says that I am progressing nicely" Molly said with pride.
"I am so proud of you, Skylar was asking about you the other day. She wants so badly to talk to you but she knows that you don;t want to risk Kevin finding out and telling Howie and AJ. She sends her love."
"Well you tell her not to have that baby until I am out of here" Molly smiled at the prospect of poor Skylar remaining pregnant for another 6 months.
"Molly I cannot lie to you, I am here for other reasons" Kim Ann said quietly.
"I know...it was written all over your face, let me take a guess, AJ knows that you are hiding something and he is bugging you trying to find out" Molly said grim faced.
"I really cannot keep anything from you can I? Yes he really wants to see you Molly, he needs to know that you are alright, it is tearing him up inside not to be able to help you heal. The guy is madly in love with you and this is killing him. Give him a chance, I know you care deeply for him"
"I can't, yes I love him, I love him with all my heart but I cannot risk that our frienship will change to feelings of deeper love, what happens if we give into our feelings and then we realise we can't be together, that it isn't right. How could I go on without him"
"You know that AJ would never let anything come between the two of you. You are afraid to face your feelings, you have fallen for AJ and you are using your friendship to hide those feelings. Molly you are the one who keeps saying that the doctor told you that you had to be honest with your feelings, well how can you practice what you preach if you won't face the one thing that will help you get through this ordeal. You need the love and the strength of the man who reached out and saved you, you need him right there beside you every step of the way. Be true to your heart and let AJ help you" Kim Ann hugged her friend.
" I can't, that would kill Howie, they are best friends. Can't you see the bind I am in, if I am true to my heart then sure AJ and I will be happy but Howie will be devestated. If AJ and I are true to our feelings and then one day we wake up and realise that we are just meant to be friends we risk losing the love and trust and the special relationship that we worked so hard to build." Molly was crying as she laid out her options.
"Yes but if you stay quiet then AJ is hurt, Howie is hurt and most of all you are hurt. Secrets will kill your relationship with AJ and it will not help Howie get over you. You need to be honest and let Howie move on with his life instead of grasping at straws hoping that you will change your mind and forgive him and rebuild the relationship. You are not being fair to anyone."
Molly looked at her friend and ran from the room.
