Liliana's pov

"You okay?" Jackson asks helping me stand up from the examination table. Arizona just got through running test on me so that we will be able to tell us what stage of osteogenesis imperfecta the baby has. Now all we can do is wait until tomorrow for the results.

"I'm fine." I sigh as we walk out of the room.

"So I think we need to talk about what we'll decide if it turns out that the baby is type 2." He says as we walk through the hallway.

"He won't be" I shake my head.

"I know that's what you believe. So do I, obviously. But if he is type 2 then it's so terrible." He says

"I know that. I am a doctor." I sigh.

"And fatal, usually. Alright? And before that it is even worse."

"Jackson! I know all of this already and I don't want to talk about." I say raising my voice in irritation.

"But we should talk about it. We need to talk about it." He frowns.

"Why? Why can't we just wait until tomorrow when we have an actual diagnosis?" I ask.

"Because we should have a plan. What do you mean?"

"Okay, well what do you want to do?" I ask looking up at him as we stop in the waiting area

"That's what I'm saying. I think we should decide." He says.

"No, I'm asking you what you want?" I shrug. I was growing frustrated. The situation was stressful enough and Jackson constantly pushing me to talk about it when I wasn't ready was only stressing me out even more.

"I want for us to figure this out together." He sighs.

"No, I think you already know what you would want to do." I scoffed.

"What?" He frowns.

"Yeah, just say it. Say it out loud." I say raising my voice gaining the attention of few people passing by.

"Don't." Jackson sighs.

"Well, what do you want to do. Just say it" I causing him to sigh in frustration.

"If our baby is type 2, I, I think that we should induce labor and go ahead and deliver the baby instead of carrying him until term and using extraordinary measures." He says.

"And I don't care whether our baby has type 2 or type 3. I want to carry him until term and take every measure possible to keep him alive." I say before beginning to walk away.

"Lily" Jackson sighs stopping me.

"I told you I didn't want to talk about this and this is why. I knew we wouldn't agree." I shake my head before walking off.

"Hey, Lily. I thought you were off today." Amelia says as I walk over to the front desk.

"I was, I mean I am. I just had to come in for something." I sighed.  I was trying to act like everything was fine. I had chosen not share the news with everyone else until I got my exam results back. I couldn't handle anyone's sympathetic stares or questions. I just needed to focus all of my energy on hoping that my baby would be okay.

"Oh okay. Well I have an overview of my plan for the tumor if you wanted to take a look over it. I know you wanted me to keep you up to date on all my decisions about this thing." She says.

"No, it's fine. I'm sure you've got this. I don't need to see the overview." I waved her off.

"You sure?" She frowns. I was normally a micromanager, especially with cases like this but all of my energy felt like it was gone. I was drained from worry and exhaustion. I felt like a walking zombie.
