Derek's fists were knotted so tightly that his knuckles were turning white.
The trouble was that he knew Sloan was right. His stomach churned inside as
the rest of him seethed. "So, that's you're solution? We just all pretend
that the relationship never exsisted? That's all very well, William, but
what are we supposed to do if they discover that she's pregnant," Derek
demanded, the vein in his temple throbbing. He was worried now, not just
about himself and Julia, but the baby. What would Cross and the others do
or try if they found that out. And medical tests would surely show it.
