The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Jessica could see where Steven was coming from. But the problem was the baby she conceived was not Steven's child; that meant she had to think of a way to minimize the damage.

She said, "I haven't been to too many checkups. What if they find something wrong with the baby? If too much time has passed since your vasectomy, it may be difficult to get a reversal. Then..."

"Okay," Steven said as he watched Jessica walk away.
