The two weeks after the funeral passed by in an uneventful blur for Emily, she went to school, to see the gang at the warehouse, than back to her aunts house. When she got up two Sunday's later she felt very sick. "Are you sure you want to come with me? You look like you need to rest" Alex asked her, she had a doctor's appointment at 12 and wanted Emily with her. She was now sixteen weeks pregnant and was doing her best to make it work.
"Yea, I'll be fine I promise" Emily told her. The two spoke for a few more moments then Rachel came into the room with a box.
"Hey. I just found this box of your mother's things in my closet, I...well I thought you might want it" she finished and handed her the box "I know things between us are tense right now, but I hope we can get along" and with she left the room.
"She is trying you know" Alex told her. She had observed Emily's disapproval of her aunt but she knew it would take time.
"I know, but right now let's head out to this doctor's appointment" and the two headed out.

They got to the doctors office twenty minutes early. Alex went to sign in with Emily following close behind. When they got called back Emily felt Alex tense up "it will be ok. Cody would want you to keep the baby" that was the frist time they had spoke his name since the wreak, and it gave Alex the confidence she needed.
"Thanks Em" the doctor came into the room a few minutes later. She was an older women with light brown hair and pale green eyes.
"How are we doing today Alex" she asked her voice sounding as kind as she looked
"I'm good doctor Cortez, this is Emily she's the baby's aunt and godmother" Alex had talk to Emily about that but this made it official
"It's nice to..." Emily started but couldn't finish, she ran across the room to the trash can and began to vomit.
"She has been doing this for a week, she's also been fiteged and really hungry" Alex told her doctor, she had a theory about what was wrong with her friend but she was praying it wasn't true.
"Well since she's here I can cheak her out when we are done with you" Dr Cortez said and examed Alex and the baby. "Well sweetie everything looks great, sixteen more weeks and we'll be able to tell the gender. Now Emily I need you to go pee in this cup" Emily was confused but did as she was told.
When she got back she sat next to Alex and waited for the test to come back after a few minutes Dr Cortez came back with a smile on her face.
"Well Emily you're pregnant as well. A little over two weeks but pregnant none the less" Emily felt her hand immediately went to her stomach, she was carrying Dallas's child.

The next day was filled with uncertainty for both mothers-to-be. Alex tried to sneak out and get to school early while Emily waited on Dallas to pick her up so she could tell him. She saw his car pull into the driveway.
"Hey babe" he had his hair slicked back and he was in his signature leather jacket.
"Hi. Listen I have something to tell you" she told him shyly, today she was in some black tights and a forest green sweaterdress that stoped at her knees and some black flats. "I'm pregnant" she barely got it out before Dallas' s hand connected with her face and she passed out.
