Chapter 36

Aria s POV

"Isn t this great? We are gonna have a baby," said Reid, kissing the side of my face. I was in shock. This was not the sort of news I was going to be excited about. Zoe wiped tears from her eyes as she excitedly congratulated us. I just zoned out and put my walls up, blocking Reid from invading my mind and my tumultuous thoughts. I didn t want kids; I have been raising a kid since I was a kid myself. This was far from anything I wanted. I didn t want a baby, to bring a baby into this chaotic world, let alone right now when we were about to go to war. A war I also didn t want a part of. This was far from any future plan; I had come up with in my head. The worst part is the excitement on Reid s face, how do I break it to him, that there won t be any baby?
