It has been two months already and now Arina is starting to get used to the city life as a special maid inside Diana's house.

Throughout the two months she never got to understand Nathan though seeing him all the time. She just saw an unhappy kid who doesn't want to talk or hear anything about his father and has nightmares every night in which his aunts or uncle tends to. The only person he regarded as a father figure was Logan, his uncle.

Arina couldn't even understand herself with her latest behaviors. She had the best appetite, dizziness in the morning and lots of changes which she saw on herself. But when she called and told Paula about she told her to buy pregnancy tests. This made her scared and sad, how was she going to raise a child of result of rape from the man who murdered her parents.
If these results ever say positive I'm going to abort this child.
She told herself, she couldn't stand seeing a vision of her worst nightmare.

She stood there pacing and revolving waiting for the results of the test she took. She panicked and grew scared with every second that passed.

After three minutes the results were two red stripes. Her worst fear turned to reality. And the walls of strongness she built so hard in few days were cracked open with a test of three minutes. She didn't know what to do more than to conceal the secrete she had right now till she gets the chance of demolishing it.

Adeline moved on a bit and got used to the idea that his Alex is in a hospital bed and one day he will recover. She still had the hopes but what brought more sadness to her was the fact that Nathan has changed so much and he grew into an unhappy child just the opposite of what she wanted. She prayed everyday for Alex to wake up and maybe his baby, Nathan will be normal again. She couldn't handle that his child had to ask for forgiveness every night and every birthday that he is responsible for the accident of his father while its someone else fault.
"Hi, Adeline" one of Diana's worker greeted holding Nathan's hand on the other side.
"Hi, Tony" Adeline greeted back with a smile and looked at Nathan the same way whom did not return the gesture.
"He said he wants to be here for today" Tony replied.

"That's nice. He misses his mommy and aunt Helen. That's why" Adeline said at least for Nathan to reply anything but with every word possibilities of loosing were clear as he unfold the hold with Tony.
"Hi mom" He said going direct to his room.

"I'll see you tomorrow" Adeline said as her expression changed to sadness and anger.
"You little Mr. Mannerless don't you walk away with me with just a hi. What have you come for? You treat me with respect as I am your mother. You can't be like this Nathan my son, you're still young" Adeline talked with anger as she followed Nathan behind as her anger turned into complete sadness and tears.

"Everyone is running away from me. I'm tired of holding to them and running for them. Even you don't play with me like we used to. Sister Sara has work, Aunt Diana is busy, the new guest at her house is quite and doesn't talk to me than hi with a boring smile, aunt Helen is usually with customers, my dad doesn't respond to me because he is mad and he only sleeps In the hospital, he doesn't come back" Nathan talked more than two words for the first time since his dad was admitted to the hospital.

"Its enough baby, enough I'm sorry. Nobody is running away from you. I'm still here whenever you need me just as everyone." Adeline said hugging her son.

"No, you just say that. But you are always busy" Nathan said breaking the hug entering his room slamming the door.
Adeline stood there staring at the closed door as if he could see straight through.

It was afternoon one of the maids was cleaning Arina's room as she was treated as the special maid or a guest.
She started with the bathroom when she saw the pregnancy tests with one which is used with positive results.

When she finished she left everything there just arranged them. And left the room to the kitchen.

"Madam Arina when we're you going to share the good news with us" the maid said smiling at Arina while Diana and everyone looked at Arina.
"What good news because my day was filled small miseries to solve. Arina come on share it with us" Diana said curious about the news.

Arina wanted a whole to open that she could enter and hide herself inside and at that moment she knew it's not going to be her wish to abort the baby. She kept quite and her fears arose
"uhm... I was going to tell uhm... it's just that uhm..." Arina didn't know how to start but everyone was looking at her waiting for the information.

"Come on Arina. Tell us" Diana insisted. "I'mpregnant" she said the words fast enough for no one to understand. "What?" Everyone pardoned. "I'm pregnant" she said tears running out her eyes as she left the kitchen table.

Diana was now more confused than before she stood up following Arina.
"Why are you crying, you are supposed to be happy" Diana said after opening the door going towards her now considered to be sister.
"This child I don't want to keep it. It is a result if rape, it will just break my heart, it will never deserve the respect everyone have even from me. It just makes me feel disgusting" Arina answered.

"I'll adopt the baby if you don't want it. I've been dreaming and praying for a child in my entire life. But that gift I wasn't given I suffered because of that everyone has their own situations. You can't abort that poor child. If you think it doesn't deserve respect I'll make it have high respect that no one has ever got even from you." Diana said being hurt by the words Arina said earlier. Aborting a baby never seemed right to Diana she dreamed and prayed for one. And she saw this as a blessing to her.
