When a woman moves into the sleepy town, it rouses everyone's tongues to start wagging. She is strange and distant in her manner. Tia Frost is blissfully unaware of the townsfolk's discomfort with her. With Burt at her side, she wonders about the wo...

Tia looked at the folded piece of paper in her hand. "What's that?"
She fiddled with it. "The answer to another question." She sniffed.
"The pregnancy test?" She nodded. "Why did she write it down?"
"I asked her to because I wanted to find out with you."
I smiled and took her hand. "Do you want to do this now?"
"We don't have much of a choice. The medical staff will let it slip if we wait."
She went to unfold the paper and I covered her hand. She looked up at me. "Before you do that." I kissed her and hugged her. "I'm pretty sure I love you, Tia Raya Brock."
She pushed me back smiling widely. "You remembered my name."
"I did." She looked down at the paper. "I haven't allowed anyone close enough to me to say whether or not I love them... until you and Tobin."
"You don't need to say it Tia I think I know."
She laughed. "I'm sure you do. We wouldn't have this if I didn't would we?" She waved the paper under my nose.
I couldn't help laughing too. "No.. probably not." She tutted and rolled her eyes, a smile still on her lips.
She unfolded the paper and read it. She then turned it so I could see. Positive... I pulled her to me hugging her tightly. Right then I couldn't speak or do anything other than hold her.
It was a long time before I could let her go. As soon as I did a million questions popped into my head all at once. "Tia what..."
She put her finger on my lips cutting off my words. "You're going to ask me a whole heap of questions. Most I don't have answers to. So would you just lay down with me?" I smiled and nodded.
She moved over so I could climb onto the bed. She laid her head on me and sighed. "Will you answer a few questions?"
She chuckled. "Go on then. You're not going to stop fidgeting until you get your answers."
"I wish I knew where to start. Are you OK?"
Her laugh was rich with her joy. "Yes, I'm fine. There's no difference to how I was before other than nausea coming out of nowhere."
"I have to assume you don't know how this will affect your fit's."
She looked up at me smiling "Nope. I assume they will contact my specialist and they will talk to me about that."
"I don't know what to do now."
Tia shifted so she could sit up a bit. She reached across me, taking her drink and sipping at it again. "First we need to talk about Tobin. In sky, they all believe that when a couple took in a child, that child was moved on when they were expecting their own."
