Zippy had left Rae's more shaken up than when she got there. But she knew that if there was any chance of her and David getting through this, she couldn't hide it from him.
She climbed up the fire escape of his building, and knocked on his bedroom window, her hand shaking from nerves.

David was in bed, reading. He looked up at the knock, then blinked when he saw her. He went over, opening it quietly. "Erin? What are you doing here, sweetie?"

"Um..." She crawled in, a million different emotions on her face. "Just. Wanted to see you." She immediately dug her face into his chest, wrapping her arms tightly around him. Her heart was pounding, and she couldn't look him in the eye. So she just continued to hug up, trying to savor the moment.

He held her, rubbing her back. He frowned, knowing something was wrong. "Erin, what is it? What happened, is something wrong?"

She started crying, she couldn't help it. She was a mess, she was surprised she wasn't hyperventilating. "T-tell me. Again. T-that you'lll never l-leave me." She was shaking, and looked up at him.

He froze, pulling back to look at her. His stomach dropped and he frowned, swallowing roughly. "Wha--what happened..?"

She was sobbing now. "Please. TELL ME." She grabbed his shirt with her fists.

David's eyes went wide, scared and worried now. "I--I can't say that, Erin. If--if you cheated on me or something, I--oh, God....did you--did you cheat on me??"

David's whole world tilted on its axis, and for a minute he was afraid he might pass out. "You're...pregnant..." He blinked at her, like he wasn't quite sure what that meant. Then he said it again, whispering it to himself. "You're pregnant. We're pregnant. We're...having a baby..." He finally moved to her, kneeling in front of her, taking her hands and kissing her fingers. "We're having a baby."

Zippy started sobbing again. It would have been so much easier to just... but she owed this to him, she did. She gave him a tortured look, and took her hands away. Now she was on the verge of hyperventilating. "No..." She gulped, hot tears falling from her red cheeks. she shook her head. "We're not."

He blinked, confused. "I--what do--what do you mean? You just said..."

She shook her head. She didn't want to have to explain... "I'm taking care of it. I only told you because it would have been worse if you didn't know then you found out." She grabbed the blanket under her, shaking again.

He stood up, staring down at her. "You're...you...Erin, you...you can't..."

"I can," She clarified, looking up at him. "And I am. Whatever's inside me...its not ours. Not really."
