"Neither am I, really," Quinn replied easily. "I mean, I thought I was. I was really happy with someone for a long time, and we had a great life together while it lasted. We're still amazing friends, which is something not many couples can say after a break up." She had a moment where she realized that there was a connection there, too. "He's actually... The guy that your brother was into and tried to steal from me back in the day. It's kind of a weird realization how tied together everyone from Ohio is here in Miami of all places. I can't deny, though, I do miss it... Not really being engaged to him, because I love him to bits, but we weren't right for each other in the end. Just because you work as a couple doesn't mean you're actually meant to be one. But I miss that knowing that one person was always going to be there... Going to bed in someone's arms, and waking up still there... You really can't beat it." She couldn't think too much about that now, though, because the odds of ever finding someone now that she was probably going to be a mom? Were probably slim to none. It was guys with kids that always made girls all warm and fuzzy inside. Girls with kids never really brought the same response from guys. "It's not superficial that anyone you date needs to get along with your twin. He's half of you! You guys will always be part of one another, no matter what happens with other people in your life. You have every right to want and need that in a relationship. Sebastian's just a bit harder for some people to get used to, that's all."
She nodded quietly, not really able to speak without the sudden feeling that she very much just wanted to cry. There was no point in crying, though. Not until she knew for sure what was going on. So she moved away from where she'd been standing to talk to Jeremy, and made her way back to the bathroom where she'd left the test to wait the appropriate amount of time. She picked it up, and as her fingers wrapped around it, she found herself closing her eyes, delaying the inevitable just for one more second. But this was the moment of truth, and after a deep breath, she opened them, and flipped the test over to see the screen that said a single word, plain as day: PREGNANT. In all caps. As if Quinn needed the damn thing yelling the results at her. Her free hand came up to cover her mouth as she all but choked. She'd been hoping somehow, on some level, that this would all turn out to be a joke, but it wasn't. It wasn't a joke at all. And she was swallowing hard before she turned back around to go back to the living room and report the news to Jeremy. The test still clutched in her hand, she met his gaze, and when words weren't cooperating, she just gave him a single nod of her head.
