“Positive,” Selene whispered.
Ethan wrapped his arms around her, lifting her off the ground in his excitement. Selene was in shock. Even though they had been trying for a baby, a part of her didn’t actually believe she would become pregnant. Now, the little pink positive sign on the pregnancy test stared back at her.
The gravity of her choice hit her all at once: Ethan was involved in criminal activity, he had a mentally disturbed wife, he was deceitful and he was soon to be the father of her child.
The room began to spin. Ethan was holding her tight, but she still felt as if she was going to fall.
“I can’t breathe,” Selene said.
Her vision was clouded with stars. She felt consciousness slip away and darkness take over.
When she came to she was on the floor. Ethan was above her. She heard a sound to her left and jumped. She was convinced it was Ethan’s wife, out to harm her. Then she remembered she was at home.

As the door closed behind them Selene thought she heard someone enter through the front. Ethan grabbed her, pulling her around a corner before she could get a good look.
They walked through the backyard of her neighbor’s home and down an alley before coming to Ethan’s car.
“Get in,” he said.
“You parked all the way down here?” Ethan walked around the car, opened the passenger side door and pushed her inside. “You knew they were coming didn’t you?”
He slammed the door on her without answering. They road
