Kade casually leaned against the doorway. "Yeah, I know. Back from the dead. Surprise."

Sarah blinked. Her jaw dropped. "You... We were told you were dead. That Lucas killed you!" The name came out in a rush, followed by a guttural groan as another contraction hijacked her insides. She grabbed the headboard again and hissed through her teeth. "Oh for the love of...ow, ow, OW..."

Sarah let out a laugh, wild and bitter and almost giddy. "Oh, I am so fucked."
