"You're mad at me aren't you?" Cora asked, picking up Cory's toys.
"No." X-pac answered without looking at her.
"You haven't said anything all day."
"Be greatful."
"I wouldn't be with you if that's how I felt. What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Just...Adelinda wasn't always like this. She used to be smart and caring and-"
"Give her time. You went through the phase she's going through."
"That lasted years. And I was never how she used to be."
"You always cared about me." Cora said, sitting down on the bed.

"Am I done yet?" Adelinda asked, pressing buttons to slow down the treadmill.
"10 more minutes." Hall answered, "Go faster than that."
"Then am I done?"
"No."
"It hurts." Adelinda whined.
"Not as much as your first match will."
"Do you think I'm pretty enough to just be a model or something?"
"Yeah. You wouldn't be able to eat though."
"It can't be worse than this."

"Are you sure you wanna do things like this?" X-pac asked, as Sarah took the glass of water from him.
"I wouldn't do it if I wasn't." She answered.
"If there's treatment-"
"I don't want to be ill for my last few months."
"What about dad?"
"He won't care." Sarah answered. "I want to spend christmas with my family without everybody making sure I'm alive every 10 minutes."
"Cora knows something's wrong."
"She's a smart girl. Don't mess this up. She'd be an amazing mother."
"She can't have kids. She had this miscarriage... She's great with Aiden and Cory though."
"But not Adelinda?" Sarah asked.
"They act like they hate each other. When Adelinda was like this with Tori I thought it was bacause of Kane, but-"
"She was never in love with Kane."

"I painted a picture." Cory said as Adelinda walked into the kitchen.
"Let's see." Adelinda smiled, sitting down beside him, and her father. "You should be an artist.Why don't you paint a another tree?"
"Cory, you need to practise reading." Cora said, walking into the kitchen with Aiden in her arms. "I'll listen to you when I've feed Aiden."
"I can do it." Adelinda said.
"It's fine, I'll do it."
"Cora, let her do something." X-pac said.
"I can do it."
"I'm not saying you can't-"
"It's fine.Who would trust me with a child?" Adelinda said, walking up the stairs.
"I didn't mean-" Cora started to say, before X-pac got up to follow Adelinda "Will she feel better if I paint her a picture of a tree?" Cory asked.

"Princess, she didn't mean she didn't trust you."
"I don't care." Adelinda said, as tears streamed down her face. "She shouldn't trust me, I could even take care of my own baby."
