"How are you feeling today, sweetheart?" Mrs. Adams asked, smiling widely. Helen thought that was suspicious. Why would anyone smile like that in this situation? It was as if Helen wasn't sick, as if something good was happening to her.

"As of right now… I'm feeling good. I really am fine." She answered calmly and looked over at Seth, who was in the room with her. He just dropped in to see his sister. They had told him that she was sick and that got him worried. Seth hated when Helen was sick. To him it seemed that all the life she had in her was taken away from her unwillingly. The sickness usually was putting out the fire in her eyes. The fire that he loved so much to see in there. So that's why when he came to see her, he was surprised. The fire was there… and it was even brighter than before. Helen didn't look even a bit sick to Seth.

"Of course you are fine." Mrs. Adams smiled even wider.

"So what are you suggesting to do? Drink some more tea… or maybe something else?"

"If you are thirsty and feel like tea, you can drink that. It's fine."

"If I'm thirsty and feel like tea? I meant because I'm sick and I want to get even better as soon as possible. I mean… I'm feeling fine right now, but the fevers doesn't go away so easily and I just want to be sure that I really am fine."

"But you are fine. You were never sick. At least not now, not during the last couple of days."

"How come? Of course I was sick." Helen insisted.

"Really Mrs. Helen? You are a woman and the only thought that went through your head was that you are sick?"

Seth moved a little over the chair he was sitting in. He was already guessing where Mrs. Adams was going with that.

"What else could it be?" Helen asked a little afraid now. There was one thought going through her head, but she was hardly trying to suppress it. Not yet. She wasn't ready for that.

"I think that Mr. Reigns would be happy to find out that the house soon will be filled with a child's laughter… "Mrs. Adams answered, smiling. "And not just he of course. Everybody in the house. We are waiting for a little baby for so long."

Yes, that was it. The moment she feared the most. Helen was glad that she was lying in her bed right then, because if she wasn't she would have slid down to the floor. She wasn't ready for a baby. She was still so young and she was going to be an awful mother. She never had that in her. Great. Now she was scared. She thought that her face might have gotten paler. Mrs. Adams and Seth were looking at her worried. Probably one of them had asked her a question, but Helen hadn't heard it. She managed to smile. There was no point in being afraid of that… and there was no point in worrying the people around her.

"Yes, that's great. A baby!" She said. It was surprising how calm her voice was. Mrs. Adams smiled again, but the worry remained in her eyes.

"Yes, a baby! Everyone would be happy to hear that! But I'll let you tell Mr. Reigns first. Now I'll leave Mr. Rollins and you alone, so you can talk." Mrs. Adams smiled and left a room with one last glance over Helen.

When she was left alone with Seth, she sighed. Seth came near her, sitting on the bed beside her and taking her tiny hand in his a lot bigger palm.

"Are you alright, Hel?" Seth asked quietly with a worried look on his face.

She swallowed hard.

"Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry." She smiled weakly.

"Are you sure? It is alright to be scared you know. That's a big thing." He assured her. Although he wasn't sure how he felt himself. Seth had always known that this moment would come sooner or later. Helen and Roman would eventually have children. And now the time had come and he was afraid too. Not just that of course. He was a little bit sad and angry as well. He couldn't tell why, but that was just how he felt. He couldn't help, but wonder what it would be if that little thing in there, growing inside of Helen, was his. Not Romans or anyone else's, but his. He wanted Helen for himself; he wanted her baby to be his. He would be happy if one day he could say out loud, to the whole world, that she's carrying his baby. But she wasn't of course. And that wasn't possible. She didn't love him in any other way than the brotherly. She would be freaked out if she learned the truth. And she would never want to see him again, because he kept this secret for so long. Seth kept it away from her. Helen would hate him. So no, he wasn't even thinking to admit his feelings to her. He would never do that.

"Yes, I know. It is a big thing. And I'm scared, but I'll be fine. I don't feel ready to be a mother, but I probably never will. You could never prepare yourself for that, right? And when I think that I have you and Roman by my side, I feel calm. Roman would be happy I guess… he would want to have a baby… with me, right?"

"Of course. Why wouldn't he?"

Helen shrugged her shoulders…

"I don't know… You could never be sure about the truth. Nothing is as it seems." Helen answered and focused her eyes on Seth's. That was a bad mistake. Seth could ever read what was on her mind. For him all was written in her eyes.

"You still think that he's cheating on you, don't you?"

Helen sighed.

"Yes… I mean I know it's stupid, but when somebody tells you something like that. Even if the person tells you that just once and you know he is a total liar, you still start wondering around. And every time he's not around, you are asking yourself… where he really is… and isn't he with her…"

Seth looked at Helen's now sad eyes. God, he hated Katherine. He trailed his hand up her arm and rested it on the side of her face, gently cupping her cheek. Although his hands were rough, they felt great on her.

Helen thought that these hands were made for her. For her body and for her curves. Yes, she felt good with Roman. In his arms was comfortable and so was in Dean's, but they weren't home. Helen leaned against her brother's hand, hurrying to forget these thoughts. Seth was her brother for God's sake. It was awful, wrong, and even sinful to think about him like that.

"Look, Hel… do you trust me?" he asked, looking her in the eyes. She nodded. "Roman isn't cheating on you. You just have to trust me, okay? The big guy is in love with you and he can't see any other woman in that way, get it? Roman is all yours. You have bewitched him."

Just like you have bewitched me. Seth thought to himself and sighed mentally. His eyes never left Helen's. For a moment he thought that she wanted to kiss him and not in a brotherly way. Her eyes were moving between his eyes and his lips. And he himself felt how close their faces actually were.
