She turned around, the leash dropping from her hand to the ground. It retracted, sliding along the tile until reaching Truce. Blake smiled up at her, letting her know it was okay.

Adam stood from the love seat, his eyes moving from Jenna’s face not to the curved blade that was her prosthesis, but the curved belly beneath her running shirt. She was almost eight months, though to look at her she could have been only four or five.

Blake laughed as Adam rushed toward her, the two embracing as mother and son.
“Are you really back?” she asked.
Adam nodded, his head nestled against her shoulder. “I had no idea you were pregnant!”
Had either Blake or Jenna seen the smile crawling over Adam’s face, they would have picked up the phone, immediately calling the security team back. They would have been alerted to the fact that something was very, very wrong.
