SCARLETT

All I could do was watch Nick rush out. My heart was hammering and my hands were shaking, and while I shut that show off as fast as I could so Nick wouldn't hear the awful truth that I'd been lying to him, now I wanted to know what she was saying. I hurried back to the remote and picked it up off the floor, then turned the show back on. Marjorie was talking about her so-called research into my son and his parentage. Of course, she had no real proof of anything, and if I had just blown it off I'd have been fine.

But I wasn't fine.

I wanted to tell Nick the other night when Ethan was feeling ill, before we came to the emergency room. I would have too, if Ethan wouldn't have been so sick. This entire conversation would have gone much differently, and I knew Nick would have understood my position. It was time to tell him, and I messed up so badly.

Nellie wasn't to blame either. The instant I heard those words and saw the anger in her eyes I remembered that I was supposed to cover everything this weekend. She'd had plans to go out of town, and I totally flaked on her. She snapped at the camera because she was upset over my lack of being responsible and nothing more. Any human in the world could've done something like that. All of this was my fault.

I didn't even try to stop the tears from flowing. I was emotional and it felt like my heart was breaking. I loved Nick, and now I had no way of knowing what was going on inside his head. If he was hurt or if he was angry. I couldn't just chase him down either.

I was alone in my own world in my head, so when Ethan woke up because of my sniffles and sobs, it startled me.

"Mommy? Are you okay?" he asked, and I turned around to see him and forced a sad smile.

"Yeah, baby I'm alright I'm just worried about you is all." I hated lying to my child, but I justified it. I was worried. What would Ethan's life look like now that Nick knew? Would he finally have a father? Or would Nick try to take him from me? Or worse, would Nick refuse to see either of us ever again?

"Why are you and Dr. Nick on TV? What's a baby daddy?" His little eyes stared up at the screen which I'd completely forgotten was running. I quickly shut it off and tossed the remote onto the couch, then sat down and swiped the tears from my eyes.

"It's nothing, baby. You should be resting. I'm sorry I woke you up." I touched his hand softly and he frowned at me.

"You always say that. When I ask you something for grown-ups and you don't want to tell me, you say it's nothing. You're crying." For seven years old, he was definitely smart. But this wasn't something I could discuss with him yet.
