Rosa Sanchez. The first word that comes to mind is always 'power'. Known as Thorn by many, she seems to be the most dangerous woman in the world. But, she wasn't always like this. That leads many people to wonder how she came to be. What made an inn...

She shook her head. "Not now."
"Not now because of me or you?"
"You." She whispered.
"Ana. Tell me."
She bit the inside of her cheek. "Why can't I just wait until you're healthy and we're home."
"Because you're upset now. I don't know how long I'm going to be in here, I don't want you to be upset for however long that is."
She nodded. "I got the results from my appointment today. I'm infertile."
My heart sunk. This wasn't something we ever took into consideration.
"Okay." I rubbed her back. I didn't know what else to say.
"What are we going to do?" She sniffled.
"We can find a surrogate. It's going to be fine." I ran my fingers through her hair.
"Rosa, no we can't." She mumbled. "We have to go through agencies, we have to prove that we're fit to be parents. Your father will never allow that."
"Then after-"
"How long will that be?"
"I- I don't know. I'm sorry." I wiped a tear from my cheek.
"Wait, can you still get pregnant?" I looked down at her.
She nodded. "We just have to do IVF. Just with someone else's eggs instead of mine."
"What about mine?"
"What?" Her voice broke. "I thought you couldn't."
"I can't carry a pregnancy to term, it would probably kill us both. But I still have the eggs."
"Why did'nt you mention it before?" She looked confused, and a little betrayed.
"It wouldn't be like a normal egg retrieval. The surgery could kill me, it might not even work. Plus I'll have to take a shit ton of time off. I didn't think it would ever come up, then I forgot."
"I don't like the sound of that." She frowned.
"I risk my life every day, I'm more concerned about taking time off. I'm going to be behind already."
"Can't you just do it now then?"
I grabbed her hand and laced my fingers through hers. "I'd love to, but if we want to be sure it works we need a man."
"Why?" She raised her eyebrows.
"I'll do it." Jesús was leaning against the doorframe.
I jumped and Ana's arm dug into my rib.
I winced. "You cannot just sneak up on me like that."
"You're supposed to have super hearing. I've been standing here for like five minutes." He laughed.
