*Flashback*

James and Arya walked through the door of their home coming in from a day spent with Gabriela and Rico at their Northbridge home. It was always a great time hanging out with Gabriela and little Rico who is not so little anymore. Desha wasn't in the mood of socializing so she decided to stay home instead of accompanying her Husband and daughter. She greets them at the door as they come in.

"Oh my goodness is that my little Arya?!"

Desha gasps as she squats down and opens her arms as Arya giggles and runs into her arms, Desha picks her up squeezing her giving her little faces kisses. Arya lets out a few incoherent words while looking at her Mother. The only word that Desha can understand is "Ma"

"Yes, my little angel face?"

Arya doesn't say anything, instead she just smiles and lays her head on Desha's chest. Desha's heart literally melts at the action and the affection that Arya is showing her. She kisses the top of Arya's head pulling her closer swaying her from side to side in her arms. James stands off to the side smiling while watching the interaction.

"I missed you too! How'd the day go?"

Desha looks over at James

"It was good, AJ didn't want to leave though"

Desha gasps dramatically looking at Arya

"Did you give Daddy a hard time?"

Hearing "daddy" as if reminding Arya that her Daddy was still in the room, she looks behind her and smiles at James. She pushes away from Desha letting her know that she wants to get down, then she walks up to him holding her arms up.

"Dada up"

"Traitor, shocked but not surprised"

Desha shakes her head as James picks Arya up laughing, taking her into the living room and sitting down on the couch with her. Desha follows them sitting beside James on the couch. Arya gets down from James laps going to play with some of the toys she left on the floor. Desha sits beside him twiddling with her fingers, James looks down and notices.

"Can we talk?"

"Yeah..everything ok?" he says

"Maybe? Maybe not?"

Knitting his eyebrows together he gives her a confused look. James noticed that Desha had been acting weird over the few days he's been visiting and picking Arya up. He wasn't fully moved back into the house yet, they knew it would take some time for things to go back how they used to, well for things to move forward in the relationship. He wondered if that was the cause of Desha's strange behavior, he was going to ask that they talk about it, but it looks like Desha asked before he could.

"What's wrong?"

"In the study?"

"Yeah sure"

Turning to get a look at Arya and making sure she's ok, he follows her into the study room that's located in the room next to the living room. Walking into the room Desha doesn't say anything, she paces slightly across the room and fiddling with her fingers. James stares at her for a few seconds before calmly walking over to her and halting her movements.

"What's going on?"

Desha didn't know what to say, she didn't know how to say it. She didn't think she would ever be this scared to tell him the news. Because if this was to have happened months ago she would be ecstatic, jumping for joy and not being able to contain her excitement. But this was under different circumstances, circumstances that she doesn't know if she could handle. So instead of talking, she goes to the other side of the desk, reaching into the drawer and pulling out the box that she left the two pregnancy tests in. Walking back over to where James stands she puts the box on the table and slides it his way.
