After we explained Adrian what happened, we went back inside the house and started to clean up.

Adrian reprimanded me for not checking my messages and told us about the confrontation Dimitri had with Tasha in the afternoon. Dimitri was now at Adrian's, he had been discharged just as Lissa called him, and so he dropped him off at his place before coming here.

I felt ashamed for judging so quickly, but didn't say anything.

I was picking up the rocks from the floor and Adrian was tossing the larger pieces of glass in a bucket while Lissa swept the smaller one.

Suddenly, Adrian straightened up with a piece of paper in his hand.

"What is this?" he asked me, showing me the blood tests results.

"What does it look like?" I quipped back.

"You're pregnant? Why didn't you say anything?"

I sighed and sat down on the couch. "I found out today, Adrian."

Adrian sat down next to me and took my hands in his. "You have to tell him."

"That's what I told her," said Lisa. "But she has this crazy idea to let him go."

Adrian looked at me. "Why? Why would you do that?"

"He doesn't remember me, Adrian. In fact, he can barely stand me right now. How can I force myself on him when he doesn't want me?"

Adrian sighed and squeezed my hands. "Oh, Rose, there is something you should know."
