“It’s your baby!” I blurted out.

Edrick fell silent, his eyes wide with disbelief. Beside me, Selina gasped and clapped a hand over her mouth. Even I was shocked by my own candidness.

“I– I’ll leave you two alone,” Selina muttered. I didn’t break my gaze from Edrick, but I heard the sound of her feet scurrying toward the door followed by the sound of the door closing.

Edrick was silent for the longest time before he finally spoke. “Is this true?” His voice was so low it was almost a whisper, a stark contrast from how angrily he was speaking to me before.

“Yes,” I replied, nodding solemnly. “It’s yours. Five weeks along — six, now, actually.”

Edrick went silent again. He seemed to be calculating. I just hoped that he trusted me enough to believe me. Finally, he nodded and I felt my heart rate go back down in relief. I watched as he sat down on the armchair across from my bed and sank down into it, holding his hand on his forehead as he stared at the floor.

Finally, he said something. “Are you going to keep it?” he asked.

“I don’t know,” I replied. “I guess I want to, but I think that you should have a say in it, too.”

He nodded, then finally removed his hand from in front of his face and leaned forward with his elbows on his knees, looking at me with a somber expression. “It’s your choice,” he said. “If you want to keep it, then it’s up to you.”
