“Evan, I thought your home was the SKP headquarters,” Jade said as Evan recovered at his desk. Evan was about to respond but Jade cut him off. “Lily!”
He bolted out of the room and entered the living room where the catatonic body of Lily, the mother of his child, was. She had been taken by Laura as they were trying to leave to go home hours earlier. After her house had been blown to bits, Lily stayed with Evan at his hotel, before it exploded. Since then, she and Jade had been living together, waiting for the arrival of their baby.
As Jade leaned over her and stared at her face, Evan walked in behind him. “What’s happens to the baby since her body is technically here?” Jade asked.
“The baby will continue to grow as if nothing has changed. Remember, even though Lily is catatonic, she is still living and breathing,” Evan responded.
“Okay, what if she gives birth?” Jade asked, walking away from her. “What? Is a baby just going to pop out of her right here?” Evan put his head down, and Jade walked close to him. “What is it?”
“Don’t worry about it. She’ll be back before she has that baby.” She has to be.
Jade could sense that Evan was hiding something, but since Evan was never good at explaining things, he figured he would let it go until a later time. Jade walked back over to where she was lying on the couch. He took a blanket out of the closet and placed it gently over her body. He then picked her up and carried her into Evan’s bedroom. He gently placed her on the bed, kissed her forehead, and put his hand on her baby bump. He leaned down to her ear and whispered, “Don’t worry. I’ll find you.” Jade stood up and walked back to the living room where Evan was. “So, where is this SKP headquarters? I thought your home was SKP headquarters.”
