Alexandra looked at Griffin, letting him have his moment. After all it was a shock to her as well. A huge one. But, it was true.

"I haven't walked away and gave up a child yet. I'm not about to start now."

She bit her lip.

"I know this wasn't exactly what you had planned. And I'm not even going to pretend to be weak. I'm not going to force you to be there. That's not who I am."

She swallowed hard again.

"You deserved to know. Now everyone will know, why I'm taking time off from the ring."

She took a moment to pause.

"I'm sorry I walked off.. I just.. I couldn't see what the look on your face might be."

She stopped talking, starting to realize she was rambling.
