"What-What are you talking about?" Delaney asked.
"You're pregnant," Ava chuckled, "Honestly I'm not sure how neither of you saw it. I've been sure of it for days."
"That's-That's not possible," Delaney stammered, "Vincent and I... We can't... We can't have children."
"Are you quite sure about that my Lady?" Ava looked not at all convinced.
"She can't be pregnant," Ms. Bird interrupted, shaking her head, "It's been many many months since we lived at Edgewood. We would've known before this. I would've known."
"So you haven't spent any... time... with Lord Adair since you left Edgewood to live with your Aunt and Uncle?" Ava asked.
"Of course she hasn't," Ms. Bird defended her mistress's honor, "She's been living apart from him and their marriage contract will be broken soon."
