Adrianna's Pov
Just because you shove away the white stick with two red lines under your bed and choose to ignore it for the coming weeks didn't stop the fact that the once talked about subject was reality. I sometimes despised how quick of a thinker Harley was but she was already was step ahead of me. When I was staring back at the deep two red lines.

I had thrown up my morning breakfast rushed right back to my bedroom and did what I always did best. I hid the rest away and debated on hiding it from J or thinking about how hiding things from him was pure idiotic. He found and always learned everything, even if it meant invading you space to get the answers liars was beyond something he tolerated.

My lips pressed tightly in a thin line appearing in place, seated on the large sofa with a show blaring Harley and me both watching. Her sewing a new hobby she had taken up, leaving me to keep my arms wrapped around my body. It made me feel safe for the moment. I was the one who ended up jumping in place hearing all the alarms being set in place. Oh shit he's back early.

"Baby doll! I'm home I brought you something!" Harley glanced over at me patting at my knee with a smile going back to her task. I pushed myself off the sofa making my way through the goons who were heading to their spots meeting J half way through the foyer. Gasping in shock seeing the bundle of fur in his arms light coos of amusement leaving him when he glanced up to meet my eyes.

"Is that a puppy J?" I snickered out the question moving to stand near him rubbing behind the ears of the golden retriever with ease smiling at the sight.

"No it's a damn duck, of course it is. I heard physical therapy can help with depression and stuff so I got you a puppy to take on walks and spoil and shit, do whatever you want with him I don't care." He did always try in his own little way. I cracked up laughing gently scooping up the puppy from his arms to hold hearing the little light whines coming from him, snuggling him up moving to check confirming it was a him.

"Thank you J, you can be sweet when you wanna be in your own way." He rolled his eyes lightly pulling me in for a side hug, gliding his hand up to cup at my chin bringing me in close to press a few light kisses in place lifting his other tattooed hand to rub at his head gently a couple times sinking his shoulders back, I set the puppy down for a moment facing J.

"I need to tell you something." I was met with an eyebrow lifted my way before he simply nodded, heading up the stairs holding my hand holding it in his grip. I smiled once again hearing the loudest excited squeal in place.

"Look at those eyes!" I shook with laughter, listening to the unusual pounding of my heart speeding up before I noticed we were inside my room, J placed himself on the edge of my bed with a groan starting to unbutton the loose buttons to his tight shirt loosening in.

"You worry me a lot you know? Always dozing off into space, blank you aren't doing what I thinking you are doing right?" I shook my head no at him, peeking under the bed around him picking up the test avoiding it from his eye sight hiding it behind my back as I spoke.

"Well.. I suppose I can't always lie about how I feel. I won't ever be okay J. I live in one In the worst cities there is to date. Someone I trusted my step sisters betrayed me and sold me to you at seventeen. I saw things, saw the reason you rule this city along side others. You locked me up like an animal and gave me rules. Like I was less than human. And what always happens to poor victims I developed Stockholm Syndrome and I don't know anything else but you." I paused for a moment seeing he was listening closely his teeth sinking into his lower lip.

"I saw you kill and torture people. I did things to my own self hoping to bring me back to reality but that's never gonna happens and dwelling on the past won't change anything or make it better. I just have to move forward." It felt weight lifting to get that off my chest, like a breather could finally be released with speaking what I wanted.

Moving towards J I slowly sat down next to his shock form, carefully passing over the test into his hands watching his shaky hands grip it the sight of his blue eyes widen in place looking back up at me in fast speed.

"Wait.. Is this what I think it is? you're pregnant?! Like an actually baby is growing in you!"
