Author's Notes

This truly is the last one for this series...


Chapter 70 – You're Hardly Going to Need Me Around

Two weeks into her course and there was already a mountain of reading. The knowledge of placements for the current trimester should've thrilled her, but Rose couldn't concentrate at all. Now that the idea had been planted in her mind, it wouldn't leave her.

Late.

She was late.

She was sure of it. She tried to recall the last time. She was quite regular but with the stress of packing and leaving for Scotland, the exact date eluded her. It was heading towards the end of January and she should've had her period by now. She knew stress, a change in diet, a sudden increase in exercise or illness could all cause a late or missed period, but in her heart she knew that that wasn't the cause at all.

There was a very simple and obvious explanation.

Rose had broken up with him months before the deed—not that he knew it. And when the last of her contraceptive pills had been taken, she didn't care to get another prescription. Why would she? She didn't have a boyfriend as far as she was concerned, and sex with anybody else was not even on the horizon.

But cue an emotional farewell with Sherlock Holmes on Christmas Eve. She recalled having the fleeting thought upon arriving in Edinburgh that she should get the morning after pill. But how? From where? Visit a GP on Christmas Day? She had easily dismissed that idea, thinking there was only a slim chance she could get pregnant. Why had she thought that? What kind of stupid reasoning had entered her mind on that day? And now here she was paying the price for such an ignorant decision.

Suddenly her world had tilted again. He would never leave her heart, and now, it seemed, a small part of him had taken hold and would spiral her life out of control once more.
