AIDEN

My gaze roved her frame. There was no blood on her hands or on any part of her body. Though her head was down, her shoulders didn't shake from sobbing.

"Sharon?" I called as I further walked into the room. "Are you okay?" I dropped on the bed beside her.

She finally raised her head up from the paper in her hands. I couldn't decipher the expression on her face as she wordlessly handed it to me.

She shrugged and looked away from me.

I plastered a smile on my facea ND put my arm around her shoulder, pulling her to me. "You're carrying my child," she looked up at me as my eyes briefly fell on her stomach, "Of course, I'm happy."

And for what felt like years, Sharon's face broke into a big grin. Then she pouted, a slight glare on her brows. "Are you sure? I mean with "
