Elliot's breath was coming quick as she stared down at the pieces of paper clutched in her hand. This couldn't be happening. This couldn't be happening. Her eyes moved over the words on the page for the hundredth time as she tried to take them in. She shook her head and moved towards the desk a few feet away where a pregnancy test with double lines stared up at her. "Frick," she whispered as she stared down at it, moving her hand down to the front of her shirt and feeling the small, but unmistakable budge there.

Her mind was spinning as she struggled to accept the fact that somehow she was two months pregnant. The lab test estimated her to be at eight weeks, which meant that there was a baby inside of her approximately the size of a kidney bean. The thought of a kidney bean made her think of JD's three alarm chili and the burning sensation in her chest she'd had the one and only time she'd ever tried it. Elliot clamped her mouth shut as her stomach lurched and she leaned against the desk.

"This can't be happening," Elliot whispered to herself as she shut her eyes and tried to stop thinking of chili, or what a mess she'd make if she actually let her stomach win, which only made it lurch again.

Andy would've fought the man who'd led him to the library...if he hadn't been so fucking stoked to get the hell out of that cage. When he'd woken up, Lexie had disappeared and he could only hope that wherever she was, she was okay. But, if he'd had to sit around in the cage wondering the whole day, he'd have gone apeshit on someone. So, as much as he could've done without being marched to the library, of all places, by a complete and total stranger, it was better than sitting around in the cage worrying.

Once inside the library, his eyes immediately settled on Elliot and, so excited to see her alive, Andy didn't notice right away that she appeared not to be feeling well. Instead, he beelined to her. "Elliot! Shit, I didn't have my journal and I was locked in this friggen cage; I would've said something to let you know I was okay, but you know...no journal."

He paused and noticed that she looked as though she was going to be sick. "...you okay...?" he asked carefully, reaching up and rubbing her back gently. "You look a little green in the gills, peaches..." he added, allowing the concern to creep into his voice even if he wasn't allowing it to come through his words.

Elliot's head had snapped up when the door had opened and Andy slipped through it. Normally she would've been relieved to see him, except given the circumstances the sight of him made her feel even worse. She looked back down at the test and knew without a doubt that she was going to have to tell him. It wasn't like he wasn't going to see for himself eventually, anyway.

She looked up at him when he began to rub her back and shook her head. "No, I'm not okay, Andy!" She said, her panic getting the better of her. "Look," she said, picking up the pregnancy test and holding it up so that he could see it. "And look at this!" She said leaning forward and smoothing the papers out on the desk. "It's a blood test." She jabbed her finger at the results. "I'm freaking pregnant!"
