The news

I wake up in the same position I fell asleep. I'm wrapped up in Arron's warm embrace I'm surprised he's still here he usually goes to the training rooms in the morning. "Good morning sweetheart" he whispers tiredly "hello" I reply why aren't you down in the training rooms?" I ask "I thought we should go to breakfast together and tell all our friends the news." He says "good idea" I say worriedly "what's wrong" Arron's notices my worried tone "I'm just scared of the way people could react. Kenji already knows and he's happy for us but I don't know how Adam will react." I say. Me and warner have been married for one year and been together for six years before that but everyone still knows Adam still has feelings for me. He's not had a girlfriend since he and I broke up. I'm scared at what he might do. "I'm sure he'll be happy for us" Arron says "I hope your right" I reply.
After we're both washed and dressed Arron takes my hand and we walk out of the room. Just before we walk into the dining room I stop breathing heavily. "It'll be fine love" "I hope so" I say between breaths "you ready?" Arron asks once I've calmed down "yeah let's go" and I smile weakly at him.
When we walk in It looks just like a normal morning. Everyone is talking at the tables, collecting food and three children are running around. We go and stand I the cue to get our food then go sit at our table. I sit next to Kenji and Warner feeling happier now. "Have you told him princess?" Kenji whispers in my ear "yes I told him last night when we got back to our room" I reply "and?" He asks "he's so excited! We're going to tell everyone now." I reply happily "that's great J" "thanks Kenji. I'm scared about how Adam will react though" I tell him "I'm sure he'll be fine and if he's not I'll talk to him" he says "thanks Kenji".
I start to eat my breakfast and I'm talking to James. He's thinking about proposing to Anna. I only have a piece of toast for breakfast. Hopefully I won't throw up again today. Arron nudges me in the shoulder "do you think we should tell them now?" he asks "yeah if you think we should" I say nervously "okay" he says smiling at me. "Everyone!" He says loudly. Everybody turns to pay attention to him "me and Juliette have some news" everyone looks worried "we're going to have a baby, Juliette's pregnant!" He says excitedly. Everyone starts congratulating us. I'm smiling like crazy but I turn round to look at Adam. He looks angry. Suddenly he stands up knocks his chair over and storms out the room. Kenji starts to go after him. I grab on to his arm "I'll go" he just smiles at me. And I walk out the room.
I find Adam in the corner of a room I only faintly remember. It's the room Warner put me in when he first took me out on the asylum. Nobody has repaired it. The window is still smashed the rope and gloves are still here there's even some dresses stuffed in the wardrobe. There's a lump in my throat when I think about all that happened in this room. I sit next to Adam "what's wrong?" I ask him "don't pretend you don't know. Everyone can see how I still feel for you." He says I notice he's been crying "I know that but you knew this would happen sooner or later. Me and warner are married. You know how much I've always wanted a baby and you said you wanted one too" I say "yes I do want a baby but when I pictured my family you were in it and Warner wasn't and that's the way I've always wanted it to be" "Adam" I say sympathetically "don't give me your sympathy Juliette. I don't need it. You chose him and you left me with nobody." I was getting quite angry now "I did not leave you with nobody. You will always have James and I'll always be your friend" I say "James? He wants to get married I won't have him for much longer and i don't want your friendship. Do you even remember what happened in this room Juliette?" He asks me sadly "of course I remember" "Then how is it not bothering you. That man you love so much locked you up like an animal and then you fell in love with him. That's messed up Juliette" he tells me "I don't care what Arron was I love who he is now and Im Sorry Adam but I didn't choose him sometimes love chooses you and you can't stop it happening" I tell him the truth "that's such crap Juliette. You choose what happens to you in this world" he's so wrong "Adam that's completely wrong I didn't choose to have this gift I was just given it, I didn't ask for my parents to hate me, I didn't ask to be locked up for 264 days and I certainly didn't ask for you" I think I've crossed the line now "yes you did" he says quietly. I turn and look at him. He stares at me and smiles and it feels like eight years ago and he and I are together and in love and suddenly he takes my face in his hands and kisses me fiercely and I remember it's not eight years ago and I'm not in love with him and push him away. He looks startled. I stand up and start pacing across the room then I notice him looking at me "why the hell did you do that?!" I ask him. I'm so mad right now "I don't know. It felt like eight yours ago and we were hiding from warner in your room so I just kissed you" he stands up and walks towards me and takes hold of my hand. I grab my hand out of his grasp and slap him hard across the face "ITS NOT EIGHT YEARS AGO ADAM!! I'm married, having a baby and I'm in love with someone else and you think it's okay to just kiss me?" He just stares at me while holding the side of his face "it's not okay Adam. Maybe if you actually went outside and found a girl willing to love you we wouldn't be in this mess. I'm very happy with what's happening in my life so your just going to have to find a way to live with it" I say to him and storm out the room and slam the door behind me.
I find Arron and Kenji in the training rooms and I go and sit on the floor beside the equipment they're using. Kenji is the first to talk "you okay princess?" He asks "no I'm not okay Kenji" "what's the matter love?" Arron comes and sits next to me and I put my head on his shoulder "what happened with Adam J?" Kenji asks "I found him in the room I was put in when I first came to base" I say "yeah I've been meaning to get that room sorted" Warner states "I sat on the floor next to him and we started talking them he kissed me." I say "what?!" Kenji says through a laugh "he kissed me so I shouted at him and slapped him across the face then stormed out" they're both laughing now "I would say I'll go knock some sense into into him but it seems like you've already done that" Arron says "yeah princess isn't afraid to take the gloves off and get her hands dirty is she?" Kenji says. We're all laughing now.
Later at lunch Adam isn't there. I think I hurt him more than I thought. We had ham and cheese sandwiches and chocolate cake for lunch. We had a discussion with Winston about names, decorations and furniture for the baby. Kenji didn't like the names Alice and jack he wanted to call it Kenji junior for a boy or Kenjeta for a girl. Winston thought they should be more glamorous. He thought of Roxell or Destiny for a girl or Plavious for a boy. I told them the needed to go buy new brains. Castle thought of quite nice names "how about Rosie or Daniel" he said "not bad choices. Better than Kenjeta or Plavious" I say.
After lunch me and Warner go back to the room to get our coats. We were going to go for a walk round the town then there was a knock at the door. Arron went to open it. Adam was standing in the door way "may I com in?" He asks. Warner opens the door further and Adam walks In the room "I would like to say how sorry I am for storming out of the room when I heard your news. Juliette thank you. You said some thing earlier that I really took to heart and I'm terribly sorry for kissing you and I'd like you to know I'm really happy for you both and congratulations." I don't know when I started crying but tears are running down my face "thank you Adam this means a lot" and I walk over and hug him. He looks like he might cry to "hey don't cry your going to be and uncle" I say to him and he starts smiling. Arron's smiling too. "I better go it looks like I've interrupted you so bye" he opens the door and walks out closing the door quietly behind him. Arron walks over and holds be in his arms for what feels like hours. I've never felt happier in my life.
Arron and I walk round the town for about an hour then buy some coffee and sit in the park staring out onto the horizon. It's late October and the leaves are crowding round the bottom of the trees. "We're going to have a summer baby" Arron says suddenly "so we are. We could have a barbecue for their birthday" I say smiling up at him he gently kisses my mouth then holds me close to him and we're staring into the sunset. In that moment everything was perfect. But the only bad thing was perfect moments don't last forever.
