Jesus Christ!” She whimpers as she grabs the base of her belly. Angus rushes over to her, more confused than he has ever been in his life.

Are you even serious?!” Angus looks down, running his hand through his face. Everything has crumbled to the ground, he knows that she is not going to forgive him. Can he even ask for her forgiveness?
