Bette: He is cute Carmen. Really.

Carmen: Thank you.

Bette: I don’t think anybody else notices or if they do they won’t believe it.

Carmen: Bette I don’t know what you are talking about.

Carmen looked into Bette’s eyes but she had to quickly look away. Somehow Bette knew Carmen’s secret.

Bette: I can understand why you might not have told Shane but I still think she has a right to know.

Carmen: How did you know?

Carmen needed to know how her secret had come out. Those looks could have come from a donor she used but Bette knew that Angel was Shane’s. Fear gripped Carmen. She never expected them to put two and two together so quickly. Bette sighed.

Bette: Shane told me before the wedding how you guys were going to harvest her eggs for the future. She needed my advice on it.

Carmen nodded of course Shane would go to Bette. Bette was Shane’s mother figure how could she not have anticipated that.

Bette: You have my word I won’t tell her but she really has changed. She never stopped loving you Carmen despite everything.

She nodded again what could she say. She never stopped loving Shane either but Carmen had kept a big secret from her. She watched as Shane walked into the planet and sat next to Alice. Carmen wanted to run over and grab Angel before she saw him but it was too late.

Shane p.o.v.

Shane looked at the little boy in Alice’s lap and it shocked her. There was a resemblance but it couldn’t be possible. No this boy wasn’t hers. Angel looked at Shane and had a contemplative look on his face. He climbed from Alice’s lap to hers and Shane could do nothing but stare in shock. He smiled at her and pointed at her eyes and then his.

Angel: Verde.(green)

Shane nodded stupidly.

Alice: Carmen’s son is so cute.

Shane: her son?

Alice: Yea

This boy was Carmen’s son. Angel kept staring at Shane’s face as she stared at him. Alice noticed the interaction but was more confused than anything.

Shane: How old are you?

Angel played with her tie and held up two fingers.

Angel: This many.

Two years. Shane counted the months mentally in her head and looked at Carmen. They were together almost three years ago and a pregnancy was nine months. There was still a three month window but Carmen had to have gotten pregnant pretty fast because she couldn’t possibly been pregnant when they were dating. The thinking made her head hurt.

Alice: Earth to Shane. What is going on?

Shane: Nothing.

She picked Angel up and he clinged to her shirt. She walked over to Carmen who looked liked she seen a ghost. Carmen held her arms out to Angel who instead of going in them clutched Shane shirts.

Angel: Mami ojos  verdes. (green eyes)

Carmen: Hey Shane.

Shane shuffled Angel in her arms.

Shane: Hey Carm I think we may need to talk.  

Tbc thank you for all the reviews they made my day.
