Chapter 1: An Unexpected Event
Sark gently runs his fingers through Laruen's hair. They lay in bed together in a hotel suite. She turns to him and smiles. "I'm so glad I took this trip" she whispers to him. "Indeed and soon it will just be the two of us, no Vaughn. He will be eliminated soon." he says. His lips touch hers and form a kiss. Then he tells her he loves her and he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. She turns over, consumed by guilt. She loves Vaughn, but she is in love with Sark. Coldness creeps up her spine.
She gets up and walks to the bathroom. She turns and smiles at him. Then she showers. It was a Saturday morning. The plan was to be a purley sexual weekend. And it was so far. But every now and then she thinks of leaving Sark and just breaking down, 'I can't do this' she thinks. Enormous amounts of strain hits her mind. She walks out of the bathroom and climbs into bed.
Back in L.A. she walks into the central headquarters, thinking of ending all the pain and telling Vaughn. But she ignores it and pops out anti-depressants, she takes 4 pills. It's her way of coping, its her escape. An hour later she runs to the bathroom and throws up, just my nerves acting up she thinks. Everyday it's been happening. She then goes to the store and buys a pregnancy test. It was posotive she was carrying a baby. But the thing is she has no idea whos child it is.
"You've been acting different" Vaughn says to her as he passes her in the breifing room. "Different how Michael" she responds. " I don't know, the NSC has you on tons of trips and you seemed detattched." he says. "Michael I'm fine really. Just been really busy latley. I''l see you at home, love you." she says as she walks away. Once she finds a secure and alonce spot she pulls out her cellphone and calls Sark, "Is this a secure line" she asks. "Of course, you couldn't resist, well tell me how is your husband?" Sark says in a smart-ass tone. No use in stalling just have to tell him, she thinks. "I'm pregnant!" she blurts out.
"Who...Who's the father?" he asks wearily. "Damnit Sark I dont know!" she yells. "I don't know what to do with this, should I tell Michael now? I'm confused. What should I do?" she says as tears form in her eyes. "Just calm down, you will fly down to Wittenburg tommorow for a paternity test. We need to know who the father is before you tell Vaughn. I'll see you soon." he says. "Not if I see you first love" she replies.
Thoughts race through Lauren's mind. If it is Sark's kid what then? She begins to cry not knowing what to do with her life. She thought about ending all the anguish in her life right there as she views her pill bottle and a bottle of wine right next to it. She gets up and heads to the counter. She takes pills and drinks them down with alchohol, she flops onto her bed and her face flies into the pillows. The pills spill everywhere and the bottle shatters as it hits the ground. He phone beeps, it says VAUGHN...calling.
