"That's not fair." Her eyes dropped.
Theodore flicked her forehead for being stubborn. "The world is never fair. At least not completely. Sometimes you have to sacrifice yourself for the well being of others but at other times, you have to be selfish.

Her hand slid down her stomach. "I can take care of my child."
"Without their father, right? You will have switched positions with Angela." He reminded her.
"I…" She averted her gaze. She had not thought about it that way.
He ran a hand down her back. "I know what you are scared of. You just don't want to be a step-mother, right?"
She remained silent, neither agreeing with him or denying his claim and he took it as a yes.
"Do you remember Sofia?"
