she did, kind of. But she also knew everything was better with him there. "how long have you known?" she asked softly.

He lifted a shoulder. "A few days. I kept hoping you'd come and talk to me, tell me. You never did."

Zippy felt awkward with him knowing. She realized that Tristan probably knew, too. She regretted telling Eli, but at that point she had honestly did want to tell somebody. She never asked him to keep it to himself, but she just...thought he would.
"I wasn't ever planning on telling you."

He frowned down at his lap, eyes sad. "Why, Erin? Why wouldn't you tell me something that huge? Don't--don't you know how much I care about you?"

((omg I'm so much more into this after watching Newsies.))
"I know how much, its just...it was very traumatic. It was kind of why I agreed to marry him in the first place- I got pregnant. And he had this nice family, but...when he found out, he couldn't face the shame." She frowned, her body weak. "When was I supposed to tell you? At the zoo? With your parents? There was never a right time."

"Erin, we've been together for months now. You could have told me all those countless times we were alone together. Why don't you trust me?" He gave her a sad look. He felt like, no matter how hard he tried, he was never going to be good enough for her.

"Please don't make this something that it isn't," She began, tears beginning to stream down her face. "I ignored it, and it went away. All I wanted was to forget, you have to realize it was nothing to do with you. I blamed myself and I stopped thinking about it."

He took hold of her hands, turning towards her. "Sweetie, why would you ever blame yourself for that? It wasn't your fault!"

"Wasn't it? I should have just kept my mouth shut. We would have been married, and it all would have been fine. But I...I told his mother, because....because I didn't know what to do!" She was bawling now, for everything.

Without hesitating, he gathered her up into his arms, holding her. "Baby, I don't care if you hit his mother over the head with a frying pan. You didn't deserve what he did to you. Period."

"Its just- how am I supposed to know what I should eat? Or, what kind of doctor to go to? Or what to expect? I don't have a mom or anyone who knows about babies!" She grabbed onto his shirt, tears soaking it.

He rubbed her back, swallowing the lump that threatened to form in his throat. He didn't say anything, just held her and let her cry.
He was glad Tristan had killed Joseph, after all.

After awhile, Zippy got a hold of herself, but then was too embarrassed ot say anything, so she just kept her face there, hidden from him, the shock of it all settling in.

He rubbed her back gently, kissing her hair. Then he murmured softly against his ear. "I love you, Erin. No matter what happens, I'm never gonna hurt you or abandon you. But you gotta trust me."

"Look at you. I've completely corrupted you. You didn't have a hard day in your life until I came along- and the strike doesn't count." She paused for a minute, leaning her head against his shoulder. "They are gonna come after me, David. What...what do I do then?"
