Epilogue
“What the fuck am I going to do?” I ask Christina, pacing back and forth. “Oh my God! How did this happen?”
What am I going to do?
“Well, it happens when a man puts his dick inside you without a condom,” she replies, shaking her head at me.
“I’m on the pill.”
“You must have missed one.”
“This is fucking bullshit,” I fire back.
“This is now your reality… our reality,” she says, smiling gently. “It’s going to be okay, Bree.”
“I don’t know anything about having a kid,” I say, covering my face with my hands.
And I was doing so well trying to forget Sylar.
I buried myself into work.
I distract myself every day. With anything. Running, shopping, drinking.
Anything.
I even went on a date with that creep, Paul, just to try and get my mind off him.
Desperate fucking times.
And now? Now I’m carrying his baby.
His.
The man who left without a word and whom I haven’t heard from in two months.
“What am I going to do, Christina?” I repeat, on the verge of hysterics.
“I have no idea. Sylar is a ridiculously tall man. His baby is going to be huge. Good luck giving birth to that loaf of bread,” she says, eyes wide and unblinking.
Loaf of bread?
Oh my God.
“You’re not helping,” I say, sitting down and staring at the wall.
It takes me a few hours, but I finally let it penetrate.
I’m going to be a single mother.
I wonder if my parents are going to be happy about this. It’s still a grandchild, right?
Right?
