Sure, he played it cool. He even told <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/notmyfirstday.com\/category\/yr-cast\/sally-spectra\/\">Sally Spectra<\/a> (Courtney Hope)<\/strong><\/em> he\u2019d come to the wedding as long as Billy was okay with it.<\/p>\n<p>Please. That wasn\u2019t a man thinking about RSVPs. That was a man thinking about <a href=\"https:\/\/notmyfirstday.com\/victor-newman-hiding-ava-hope-newman\/\">what should have been<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Baby Ava Never Left Adam\u2019s Heart<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s not forget why this hits Adam so hard. Back in 2023, Sally was pregnant with Adam\u2019s baby, &amp; they lost their daughter, Ava. That kind of grief doesn\u2019t disappear just because you move on &amp; start dating your ex-wife again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/notmyfirstdaywatchingyoungandtherestless\">Young &amp; the Restless<\/a> Head Writer Josh Griffith told Soap Opera Digest that Adam\u2019s mindset is basically this: if he couldn\u2019t protect the baby he lost, he\u2019s going to protect this one. Sweet? Yes. Healthy? That\u2019s debatable.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Newman doesn\u2019t do anything halfway. When he decides to protect someone, he goes all in, boundaries be damned. Ask anyone who has ever been on the receiving end of his \u201chelp.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Billy Boy, You Might Want to Pay Attention<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Remember who broke the pregnancy news to Adam in the first place? <a href=\"https:\/\/notmyfirstday.com\/category\/yr-cast\/billy-abbott\/\"><em><strong>Billy Abbott<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (<em><strong>Jason Thompson<\/strong><\/em>) himself. Billy Boy couldn\u2019t wait to rub it in his rival\u2019s face, &amp; now Adam\u2019s hand is the one on Sally\u2019s belly. Karma has a sense of humor.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/notmyfirstday.com\/yr-fan-rant-suite-sally-billy-make-love\/\">Y&amp;R Fan Rant: Suite Sally &amp; Billy Make Love<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Even <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/notmyfirstday.com\/category\/yr-cast\/chelsea-lawson\/\">Chelsea Lawson<\/a> (Melissa Claire Egan)<\/strong><\/em> isn\u2019t buying Adam\u2019s \u201cI\u2019m fine\u201d act. Back in September, she pushed him to admit his reaction to Sally &amp; Billy isn\u2019t really about Billy at all. Adam confessed he\u2019s worried this pregnancy could force Sally to relive losing Ava.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the PG version. Here\u2019s mine.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Audra Said What We Were All Thinking<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While Adam was off checking on Nick, <a href=\"https:\/\/notmyfirstday.com\/category\/yr-cast\/audra-charles\/\"><em><strong>Audra Charles<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (<em><strong>Zuleyka Silver<\/strong><\/em>) sat down with Chelsea &amp; got blunt. She told Chelsea she\u2019s lucky pregnancy hormones have Sally forgetting everything Chelsea has done to her.<\/p>\n<p>Ouch. Accurate, but ouch.<\/p>\n<p>Then Sally came back to the table, grabbed both their hands, &amp; thanked them for being there for her. She\u2019s thrilled everyone has put the past behind them &amp; started getting along.<\/p>\n<p>Sally, sweetie, put down the prenatal vitamins &amp; look around. Your ex just had his hand on your belly, his girlfriend is watching you like a hawk, &amp; Audra has a front-row seat to all of it. The only person at that table who isn\u2019t keeping score is you.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody in Genoa City forgets anything. Nobody.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Deep Down, Adam Wishes That Baby Was His<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve watched enough <a href=\"https:\/\/soapoperamagazine.com\/author\/tina-jean\/\">Young &amp; the Restless<\/a> to know a longing stare when I see one. Adam can say he\u2019s worried about Sally all day long. Every time he looks at that bump, he sees the family he &amp; Sally never got to have.<\/p>\n<p>Is he trying to steal Sally back? Not yet. Will he be standing a little too close when that baby arrives? I\u2019d bet my remote on it. Wedding bells are coming for Sally &amp; Billy, &amp; with Adam this emotionally invested, I\u2019m not convinced they\u2019ll ring without a hitch.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea, honey, you saw it too. Don\u2019t pretend you didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Does Adam secretly wish Sally\u2019s baby was his, or is it all about Ava? It\u2019s not my first day watching Y&amp;R &amp; it isn\u2019t yours either.
