"Alright I'm leaving ladies. See you tonight" Joy waved off, as she left to visit Dylan in his office. Bellamy and Mia waved, but didn't take their eyes off the TV. Too Hot to Handle was on, and that show was both of their favorites.

"Oh, I actually have to go soon too," Mia said, standing up and walking to her bedroom. Bellamy followed, out of curiosity.

"Where are you going?" Bellamy wondered, as she watched Mia pull out some black jean shorts from her closet.

Mia thought to herself for a moment. She didn't want to make it public that she was going to get an STD test. "I'm going to meet up with a friend,"

"Who?" Bellamy could be nosy. She said it was because she wanted to make sure all her friends were safe at all times.

"Um, Cheyenna," She said, barely thinking about it.

"Doesn't she live in Hawaii? Is she in town?" Bellamy wondered. Cheyenna was a friend of Joy and Mia's, Bellamy never met her.

"Cyber date. Uh, I'm gonna facetime her while I eat." She said nervously, as she pulled on her shorts, "Anyway I've got to go."

Mia pushed past Bellamy and darted toward the door before she could be called on her bull. Even if Bellamy had caught onto the deception, she probably wouldn't have said anything. She may be the mom friend, but she wasn't overbearing. Later she had work so she didn't much care what the other two were doing.

Joy arrived at the building, and confidently strode through the lobby. She kept her eyes on the elevator, focused on where she was going. She was so focused however, that she didn't notice a man with a dark aura, and the most chiseled jawline ever created, staring at her. His thick fingers held a camera, and snapped several pictures of Joy as she traveled through the building.

She arrived at the top of the building around a minute later. She stepped out of the elevator, and looked to her right where Dylan was waiting for her.

"You look beautiful today." He complimented, leaving his eyes on her bare legs.

Joy looked where he was looking and shoved him to the side, "Shut up."

"I see you have two frames. I asked for three pictures, Joy." Dylan said with a hint of annoyance in his tone, "Unless I'm mistaken." he added with a smirk.

"I only have two because I haven't found something that captures the vibe of what I want for your third picture." She replied, continuing to walk toward his office. She didn't want to have another conversation with Marcus, she wasn't very fond of him.

They slid into his office, and he swiftly closed the door. "Alright let me see them."

"Good news Ms. Higgings. You do not currently have any sexually transmitted diseases." Dr. Pym said kindly, taking a seat on his navy spinny chair.

Mia smiled happily, "That's good." She still didn't have an answer as to why she was having so much discomfort.

"I have other news for you too," He continued, resting his elbows on his knees. Which made Mia close her legs that much quicker. The doctor wasn't a pervert, Mia was just hyper observant for that type of thing.

Mia lifted an eyebrow, "Okay..."

"You're pregnant. You're only two weeks along. But I can see that little boy or girl growing inside of you." He said with a reassuring smile.

Shit. She thought. She clearly had too much faith in that gas station test. She was with child. Marcus's for sure. She hasn't slept with anyone since him. And the time before him was probably two months ago.
