"So..." he let his voice trail off as he looked at me.
"So, what?"
"Did you tell James that he's going to be a dad?"
"We didn't get around to that yet."
"What? How could you not have told him that immediately when he woke up?"
"He was supposed to be resting. And I didn't want to upset him. And now...now I'm too mad at him. He knew, Rob. He knew Isabella was going to try to hurt him."
"I knew that he knew. That was the whole reason why I was looking for the evidence."
"You could have been killed."
"But I wasn't." He flashed me a smile. "So what's the problem?"
"I'm so mad at him."
"Then why are you in here talking to me instead of fighting with him?"
"I don't want to fight with him. He's supposed to be resting."
"And when has James ever not done something he's not supposed to?"
I put my chin in my hand. God, they were so similar. "I want to tell him on his birthday. All the presents I got him suck."
"You've never been good at getting him gifts. I'm telling you, for the hundredth time, all he wants is head."
I rolled my eyes.
Rob smiled. "But telling him you're pregnant might beat it."
"Yeah?"
"I'd do both just to be safe."
"You're the worst."
Rob laughed. "I love you too."

"I'm sorry," James said as soon as I walked back into his room. He was lying in his bed again. He looked completely out of energy.
"Me too." He didn't invite me, but I climbed up onto his bed anyway and rested my head on his shoulder.
He immediately put his arm around me, placing his hand firmly on my hip. I hadn't realized how much I had missed this. I needed his touch. Somehow it was the only thing that sustained me.
"I'm so sorry," I said. "With everything that's happened...I was just so overwhelmed. But all that really matters is that everyone's okay."
"What about us? Are we okay?"
"Just because I'm mad at you doesn't mean I don't love you. I'll always love you."
He stayed silent. I listened to the sound of his heart beating. It seemed to be the only thing that could calm me down recently. My emotions were everywhere. The doctor had said that was normal. Apparently my hormones were crazy right now. She had even said the word crazy, which made me feel even crazier.
