A/N: Ok, so this is the final chapter of My Inner Struggles. I hope you guys enjoy it!

J.D. was inside his apartment. He was wearing a suit. He looked in front of a mirror, and straightened up his tie.

Today was the day of Joe's funeral, and Maya invited me and the others too. Of course, we all accepted. It was going to be hard to see this, but I knew it was still part of me saying goodbye to him.

(Later…)

Dr. Cox, Carla, Elliot, Turk, and Keith were outside the hospital. They were all dressed up too.

"Where's J.D. at?" Turk asked.

"Relax Gandhi he'll be here in a minute." Dr. Cox said.

Right then, J.D.'s car pulled into the parking lot. He rolled down his window.

"Hey everybody! Ready to go?" J.D. asked.

"Well you're the only one who knows the way to the cemetery!" Carla said.

"True." J.D. said.

"What took you so long Mary?" Dr. Cox asked.

"Oh I was going to use the bathroom, but then I saw a spider, and panicked."

"So you killed it?" Elliot asked.

"No I ran out of the apartment. Which reminds me, I have to go pee." J.D. said. He parked his car, got out of it, and ran into the hospital.

"Figures." Dr. Cox said. "Ready to go to the car?" Dr. Cox asked Carla.

"Just a minute." Carla said.

"Ok." Dr. Cox said.

Carla pulled Elliot over to the side.

"So did you take a pregnancy test yet?" Carla asked Elliot.

"No. I bought one this morning though. I didn't have time to use it though because I was helping Keith look for his good socks to go with his suit for the funeral which took 45 minutes. Then, I found out that they were blue which totally clashed with his black suit. Then we had a 20 minute argument, make up sex, and then it took me 90 minutes to get ready."

"Wow." Carla said. "You had sex even though you may be pregnant?"

"Sure why not." Elliot said. "And while talking to my mom earlier this week she also told me I sounded like my boobs were getting bigger which isn't exactly a sign that I'm NOT pregnant so…"

"I haven't seen a change personally." Carla said.

"Hmm I don't know whether that's a good thing or should I be offended." Elliot said.

"So have you told Keith about this yet?" Carla asked.

"Hell no! There's like no way I could tell him, and get him worried. He almost had a heart attack thinking he lost his lucky socks. If I told him there was a possibility that he could be a parent, I don't know what he'd do."

"So I'm guessing you don't want to be pregnant?" Carla asked.

"No." Elliot said. "That's the last thing I want right now."

J.D. came out of the hospital.

"Ok let's go!" J.D. said. He ran back to his car.

Keith walked up to Elliot. "Ready to go babe?"

"Uh huh!" Elliot said.

The couple walked to Keith's car, and Carla looked at the couple. J.D. noticed her looking at them and went up to her.

"You know something." J.D. said.

"What?" Carla said. "No I don't! It's just that… I'm worried about Elliot. You won't believe how emotional she got over that funeral for the neighborhood cat last week."

(Daydream Starts)

Everyone was leaving the cat funeral in tears, when Elliot turned around and ran back to the tombstone.

"No! No! NO!" Elliot screamed. She began to dig up the tombstone, when Carla ran back over to her, and dragged Elliot away from the tombstone.

"Come on Elliot it's over." Carla said while dragging Elliot away.

(Daydream Ends)

"I hope she doesn't get like that with Joe." J.D. said.

J.D. and Carla walked over to their cars.

(Meanwhile…)

J.D. and Turk were in the car together. Things were silent.

"Ok, it's been two weeks since the thing happened. Are we ever going to talk about it again?" J.D. asked.

"No I don't really plan on it." Turk responded.

J.D. rolled his eyes. "Why not? Two weeks ago you were practically willing to have sex with me in the on call room!"

"And I regret doing that." Turk said.

"What? Why?" J.D. asked. "I thought you liked me!"

"I do, but that still doesn't mean it's right." Turk said.

J.D. looked at Turk. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Have you not met my very religious family J.D.?" Turk asked. "Do you have any idea what they'd think?"

"I guess." J.D. said.

"I love my family you know?" Turk asked.

BUT YOU DON'T LOVE ME!

"I understand." J.D. said.

"So… let's just forget about the thing ok?" Turk asked.

"Right. It'll… never be mentioned again." J.D. said.

"Good." Turk said.

"Good." J.D. said.

Things were quiet again.

"So what if you're parents were accepting of your sexuality?" J.D. asked.

Turk groaned and put his hand over his face.

(In Perry's Car…)

Dr. Cox was driving the car. Carla was beside him.

"So we had another sonogram the other week, and I'm pretty sure the baby waved inside Jordan." Dr. Cox said.

"Oh… cool." Carla said.

Dr. Cox looked at Carla. "Something wrong?"

"Well… it's just that it seems like all we ever talk about these days is Jordan and the baby. Can't we talk about something else?"

"I'm sorry." Dr. Cox said.

There was an awkward silence.

"How about we talk about how Mary's driving is like that of an old lady's?"

Carla smiled a little.

(Inside Keith's car…)

Keith and Elliot were driving in silence.

"Ok." Elliot said to herself. "You can do this. Just tell Keith that there's a possibility of me being pregnant. It's no big deal. Just that our lives would change drastically, we'd have to care for another one's well being, our sex life would be totally demolished… ok no it wouldn't, but it would take months for me to get over the emotional damage that having a baby would do to my body… so yes it would ruin our sex life! I've got to stop talking to myself."

"Elliot?" Keith asked.

"Hmm?" Elliot asked.

"I just wanted to say that these past few weeks with you have been amazing. Everything has just been so perfect with us. I wouldn't change a thing for the world."

"Aww how sweet!" Elliot said. "I BETTER NOT BE FRICKIN PREGNANT OR I'M GONNA SCREAM!" Elliot said to herself.

(Later…)

J.D. and the others were now at the burial site. They were all standing up. The casket was closed, and was being prepared to be lowered into the ground. Plenty of people were crying including Jamie, who had shown up much to everyone's surprise. The wind began to blow and the sounds of the crying people began to blend in with the wind.

Elliot went over to Carla. "I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to go take the test." Elliot whispered to Carla.

"You're going to take a pregnancy test at a funeral?!" Carla whispered back.

"Don't judge me!" Elliot whispered back. She went back over to Keith.

"I'll be back before they lower the casket." Elliot whispered to Keith.

"Where are you going?" Keith asked.

"Uh… I'm on my period." Elliot said.

"Go right on ahead then." Keith said.

Elliot walked away from the crowd.

"Where's she going?" J.D. asked Carla.

"Why do you think I know?" Carla asked.

"Still playing dumb I see!" J.D. said. He pouted and Carla rolled his eyes.

Everything finally was quiet except for the wind blowing.

It didn't surprise me how many people showed up to Joe's funeral. If he made a difference in all of our lives in just the few months he was at the hospital, I knew he had made differences in everyone else's lives as well. Joe also taught us that no matter how hard we try to make everything seem perfect and ok with our lives, we were always going to have those inner struggles we were going to need to get through. Whether it's couple problems…

Tears fell from Carla's eyes, but she was silent. Dr. Cox noticed this, and grabbed her hand. He used his free hand to dry her eyes. She smiled at him.

Or it could be problems that were unexpected…

Elliot looked at her pregnancy test results. She stared at it, and threw it in the trashcan. She quickly ran out of the bathroom, and back to the crowd. Keith smiled at her and grabbed her hand and smiled. She smiled back at him.

Everything ends up happening for a reason. It's not luck. If you're meant to do something or be with someone, it's going to happen…

Joe's casket began to lower in the ground. Turk looked at J.D.'s face, and saw that he was sad. He looked to make sure no one was looking at them, and extended his pinky out and grabbed J.D.'s pinky. J.D. noticed this and smiled.

…Even if you have to wait for that one person to realize it.
