Her mind blanked. Her brows furrowed. She took another look at the photograph. 

[i]My son...?[/i]

Her eyes went wide. The room felt like it was spinning. Lily swallowed hard and shook her head. [color=coral]"No... It can't..."[/color] She looked down at the photo again and back up to the pained expression on Edric's face. [color=coral]"I don't have a son. I..."[/color] Her voice trailed off as she stared at it.

She knew what this implied. She knew exactly what it implied. Her heart and mind were screaming for it to be false but her mind knew deep down that if it was, it would have serious... serious implications. Her eyes darted around the room, as if trying to find something that could save them, though it was no use. [color=coral]"I.. um... I..."[/color] She stammered, her head pounding like mad. 

She had... a son? With that man? [color=coral]"This... This man is your father?"[/color] She asked, holding up the photo, pointing at the dark haired man there. Without waiting for him to respond, she closed her eyes. Frantically, she let her energy expand, she focused it on the boy before her and searched, searched with a frenzied speed. For something, anything that would tell her something. 

She found it. Deep within the boy a small sliver of golden pink lay, nestled in his heart, next to a sliver of faded blue, both entwined together. Opening her eyes, Lily swallowed hard. This... This was bad. This was very bad. 

[color=coral]"...Edric."[/color] She lifted a hand to touch his face but brought it back just as fast, her fingers touching her lips, shaking. [color=coral]"G-Give me... some time to think a-about this..."[/color] She told him, her eyes darting side to side as she stared down at the floor, her mind whirling. [color=coral]"C-Can I keep this?"[/color] She asked, suddenly looking up at Edric, motioning towards the photo. 

She needed to be alone right now. No...

She needed Carmen. Her heart tightened as she waited for his response. She knew he would be upset by this but she didn't know any other way to remedy it. She didn't remember who these people were but she knew he wasn't lying. And that alone scared her to pieces.
