"Uh Luke...It's Christmas vacation and it's nearly 8 o'clock at night." Lizzy says.

"I've talked to the principal Daisy. He just said that you'll have to take summer school to catch up on what you've missed." Uncle Jess says.

"That's good. How'd you know to come here?" Lizzy asks.

"I knew you wish you were at school Daisy but...you're too close it could be any day now." Uncle Jesse says.

"Hey Kayle." Lizzy says as Heather and April came to Lizzy. Jeb scooped Heather up and Lizzy gently picked up the toddler.

"I never knew what happened just that Daisy was upset by something. I never really questioned it either because Luke told me that some one had hurt her really bad. When Clay showed up I questioned Jimmy and he admitted it to me. I've kicked myself everyday because I was with my probation officer and not there for her when she needed me. For a while there Daisy disappeared from school about five months before she gave birth. Uncle Jesse wouldn't allow her to come to school." Lizzy sighs.

"Sasha Marie." Lizzy says softly. "After my mother." Jeb answers. Lizzy nods.

It was the hotel manager.

"Because I know you've always wanted that little boy." Lizzy says.

No matter what she tried Daisy couldn't escape. The man took her back to the hotel and had his way. The next morning when he was gone Daisy woke up alone.

"I'm sorry Jeb." Lizzy says hanging her head.

"Shut up." He growled throwing her into the back of his car.

"You're coming with me Davenport and I ain't takin' no for an answer." He hissed in her ear.

"Nothing it's just that..." Jeb starts. "Please?" Lizzy asks. "It's...Something about the last tests has the doctors stumped they want to run some more tests but our baby girl should be fine." Jeb says taking Lizzy's hand. "I don't want a should be I want a gonna be. Wait did you say baby girl?" Lizzy says.

The man took another sip of whiskey then looked lovingly at the picture on his dash. "This has got to be her." He muttered.

"Uh, Jeb Stewart Duke? We need to talk to you for a moment." The doctor says. Jeb looks at Lizzy then kisses her forehead before joining the doctor in the hall. All Lizzy could see through the glass was Jeb nodding as the doctor spoke something about more tests. Being trained to read lips was a very hard thing to accomplish but Lizzy had done it. Except now they were standing so Lizzy could only see profiles of the men making it harder to read. Soon Jeb nodding again and then reentered the room.

"I guess." Lizzy sighs.

Contrary to what she was thinking everyone congratulated her on her pregnancy to include Enos and Jeb.

"I...I didn't really know who she was at the time, just that she was one of the kindest girls in the school. My mom was angry with what had happened so she drug me back to Atlanta when I was healed enough. It wasn't until I was 17 that we met again." Lizzy says.

"Daisy it's amazing really. I know you've always wanted more kids and you just told everyone." Lizzy says.

"How...how far along?" Vidalia wonders. "I was four months. I had known for two months and had just decided to move in with my step-father when...I was pushed down a flight of stairs. One of the cheerleaders was angry that I had been dating the running back...it was at the hospital that they told me the baby hadn't survived." Lizzy says.

"God Daisy that's...that...that's...congrats...I'm speechless...That's amazing. Congratulations." Lizzy says.

"I don't hate you, y'all just don't understand." Vidalia said standing and knocking her chair over. She was almost out the door when Lizzy spoke. "I miscarried a baby boy when I was 15. The worst day of my life." Lizzy says softly. Vidalia turns to look at her as does Daisy.

"Tell me please." Lizzy says.

"You feel alone and isolated don't you. Like no one could ever understand what it's like to be pregnant at 15." Lizzy says.
