Alix had been doing a good job of staying calm, when she heard those words... 

[b]I agreed to kill for them.. [/b]

Kill what?! Wasps? Blow flies?! Fuckin' rats?!!

But no. It was evident what Joshua meant. And when the realisation hit her, the blonde choked on her wine. Her green eyes shot to Josh and stared at him. An indredulous expression evident on her features.

[b]"Jesus Christ Josh."[/b]

Naturally, she finished her wine and set the glass down on the counter top. What was happening to her? The young woman ran her index finger down along the bridge of her nose in exasperation. Was this some messed up dream? She'd wake up soon to find Luca jumping all over her... Nah. Sadly not. 

[b]"I don't even know what to say.." [/b] 

Alix shook her head and stared at her husband. It was just so hard to process. To imagine that he could do that. Of course, to some extent she understood the stimulus. If anything, that was oddly reassuring. That he did actually love her, and the children. Did that make her a terrible person? That she didn't feel sick? Should she feel sick? It was just so far removed from the man that she knew, it felt as though it was an entirely alternative reality. And perhaps to some extent, it was. 

Eventually, Alix grabbed a breakfast bar stool and took a seat. She slapped her cheeks gently with her palms, as if it might help to make her understand all of this. 

[b]"You should have told me sooner...we've got two children, and who knows - there might even be another one on the way.. And you just drop this now. Were you ever going to tell me? Or were you going to just carry on lying.." [/b]
