She'd been the child, learning of the death of a parent, and she wouldn't do that to a kid. Not intentionally and having a kid, accidentally or on purpose would be very intentionally hurting them indeed. She wasn't even sure she'd take the adoption option, because wasn't that more of the same? Not only had a kid already lost one set, but was primed to lose another? Other families could adopt, she... nope. She was really hoping she wouldn't be here long enough for that to become an issue.

But how did she say that to Aidan when he had that look on his face? "Yeah, I... I guess." She was a wimp.
