Amy drives us to a small dinner. We are seated and the waiter asks us what we'd like to have to drink. "Coffee." Amy tells the woman in her early twenties

"Um, I'll have water." I tell her

She nods and leaves. "My son told me what kind of...situation both of you are in." Amy tells me awkwardly

"Did he tell you the whole thing?" I question her

"He did. I think you two should talk. I know you want to leave Lucinda, but he loves you. You aren't going to find someone who will forgive you as much as my son has."

"But I have forgiven him for so much too! Stuff you will probably never know!"

"My point exactly! You know him better than any of us ever will. You can't give up so much for one mistake."

"It's not just one mistake. It's one after the other after the other after the other. How many times can you forgive someone?"

"How many times has he forgiven you?"

"How many times have I forgiven him?"

"My guess is a lot."

"More than I can count. Don't get me wrong I love your son. I love Mika with all of my heart, but what we did this time...what I did this time....I don't think I could forgive myself let alone him forgive me."

"He wants to, but you have to forgive him too."

"What if I can't? What if this baby isn't his? What if we aren't meant to be together like we thought?"

"I think he wouldn't care. Is it going to be hard? God yes it is, but you can't blaim this baby for everything either. And you can't let that baby ruin your relationship. It isn't fair to any of you."

"But I don't want Mika to hate me." I feel the hot tears corrupt my vision.

"No matter what happens I don't think he could ever hate you Lucinda."

"I wish I could believe that."

Zane's POV

(A/N: oh, come on you really didn't think he was gone did you?)

"So she's pregnant?" I ask my sister shocked

"Yes brother." Claire tells me

"And it might be mine?"

"Yes brother."

I smirk. "This is fantastic! I love this! I will have a child!" I say excitedly

"Did you not just hear a single thing I just said? The baby might be yours! Wich means there's a chance it might NOT be."

"There is also a chance that it MIGHT be mine."

"Zane! My god! Give up on this! THis is starting to sound like a broken record."

"No, no, no you do not understand. I do not want Lucinda anymore. I want that baby. If it is mine I could raise it to be powerful. Perhaps even more powerful than I. It will be fantastic!"

"How exactly do you plan on taking the baby away from Lucinda?"

"We'll just have to kill her."

"It'll be difficult brother."

"But not impossible. You said it yourself. Mika is fed up with Lucinda and won't talk to her. This may be easier than we think."

~Two Days Later~

Mika's POV

I sit in my parents' hotel room and wait for Lucinda to walk in. Aiden is with my mother. It's weird to call her that after so long. I pace in the room nervously. My hands are sweating and shaking. I'm freaking out. The door opens and I see Lucinda walk through it. She closes the door behind her. We freeze as we take each other in. She's wearing a long sleeve purple v neck that sticks to her. It's very noticable that she's pregnant now. "Hi." I tell her quietly
