"Good morning," Sidi said to Adriana.
Sidi had opened the door before Adriana's finger touched the doorbell.
"Sorry to come by so early," Adriana said, even though Sidi seemed to have been expecting her.
Sidi stepped aside while opening the door entirely and Adriana came into the house.
"So you've learned the truth," Sidi said. "The reason you can only hear Bruce's thoughts."
"That's why?" Adriana asked. "Because..it's his baby?"
"Yes," Sidi said and walked into the living room. "It will stop once the child is born."
"Okay," Adriana said and noticed that Sidi looked anxious. "Sidi...you said you have information for me...once I find out the truth. I have so..."
"It was not information only for you," Sidi said. "For you. For Bruce."
Sidi paused.
"For Jack," she said.
"Why do you look so nervous, Sidi?" Adriana asked, not used to seeing Sidi look nervous, anxious or worried.
"Because this has to be done right," Sidi said.
"What does?" Adriana asked.
"Have you told anyone?" Sidi asked. "About the child."
"Just Jack," Adriana said.
"And will he tell anyone?" Sidi asked.
"Well...maybe his therapist. I think he has appointment tomorrow," Adriana said. "I mean he thought he was going to be a father and now-"
"He must tell no one," Sidi said. "So far so good."
Adriana crossed her arms. "Sidi, please tell me what is wrong."
"When will you tell Bruce about the child?" Sidi asked.
Adriana sighed since Sidi seemed to be refusing to answer the questions.
"I guess...today," Adriana said. "I think I have to. It wouldn't be right for me to keep it a secret."
Sidi nodded once and then walked forward, taking Adriana's face into her hands. Adriana was surprised.
"Yes," Sidi said. "You will tell him. And only him. But you will wait until this evening. And after you tell him...you and he will come here immediately. As well as Jack."
"Sidi you could also just tell me, and I will tell them whatever it is-" Adriana said.
"No," Sidi said and released Adriana's face. "Do as I've told you. Now go."

"Tea?" Alfred offered to Adriana when she arrived at Wayne Manor.
"No, thanks though," Adriana said.
Bruce was sitting and reading a newspaper while eating his very early breakfast.
"Good morning," he said to her, and she nodded.
Bruce picked up his toast with his hand and took a bite. Adriana watched him for a few seconds, wanting nothing more than to tell him the truth about the baby. It was a secret that hurt to keep, even if it was only for half a day. But Sidi had ordered her to wait until the evening.
"Everything alright?" Bruce asked, noticing she was staring at him.
"Yes, yes," Adriana said quickly. "Of course."
