"Stephen's pregnant? With Damon's baby? Oh man, as if things weren't complicated enough aleady...but you never know, sometimes babys bring couples together." Hayven said hopefully, just wanting his brother and Stephen to be happy.
Chase cringed, looking down. "Stephen, I'm sorry for what happened to you, but there are other people out there who can do the same for you ." *Like me* Chase thought, even surprised by his own thoughts.

"I don't think she knows yet, so lets keep this to ourselves...I can smell a change in her smell though...So I think she really is pregnant..." Colby sighed. "This...is going to be rough."
Stephen nodded. "I know...I never met anyone who would say they were going to protect me though..." Damon had said that once. He'd felt bad about being unable to stop the vicious beating she took from Zhadist. She sat up and moved over to Chase, looking pathetic. "Can you hold me?" She wished Beth was there to console her and hold her, but for now, Chase would do. She also thought of Caryssa being a good person to confide in, but once again, Chase would have to do.

"Hey, you never know. Maybe Stephen will be like you." Hayven said optimistically. "I bet you didn't picture yourself settling down with kids during your drug delaing days. But look at you now, all excited about having kids." he chimed, beaming down at her proudly. "Besides, Damon would never abandom his child, no matter how difficult or awkward his relationship with their mother was." Hayven reassured her.
"Of course." Chase said, gathering her frail body in his strong arms. He tried to tell himself that what he was doing was strictly professional, but it sure as hell didn't feel like it. Reminding himself that Damon was his friend, Chase gently said, "If it helps at all, I've know the guy since I was a kid, so I can read him pretty well, and I'd bet on my life that he loves you..."

"Yeah, maybe," she agreed hopefully. "And the child's father would always be there for it...So that's a plus...We have to help Damon win her back..." Colby sat up, suddenly determined. "We have to make it right again."
It felt nice to be held. She really wished that Damon would have held her like this more often. She sniffled and nodded, but made no comment on what Chase was betting on. She just wanted to be soothed, and to forget this ever happened.

"Your right!" Hayven said, bolting up in excitement. "Well, you can't do much since your on bedrest." Hayven said, a slight frown on his face before it was quickly replaced with a grin, "But you can help me come up with ideas to push the two of them together. Where should we start?" he asked, his eyes alive with excitement.
Chase got the memo quick, closing his mouth and just holding her until she felt alright again. Every so often, he would murmer an 'its okay' or 'your aliright', but mostly he just stayed quiet as he held her.

Colby hummed. "Maybe we should leave lists of things she likes in places Damon would find them?" she suggested. "She really likes fashion stuff, I noticed, so maybe he should get her some of the magazines with that model she works for...uh...I know I read it somewhere...Bethany, AKA Licious. She's really tall and blond. Um...Maybe some make up too? All girls like make up...Um..." Colby thought really hard for a moment when a smell hit her. "Do you smell cat?"
Kat had found a way out of Stephen's room. She was strolling through the hallway.
Stephen finally wore herself out and moved away from him, laying down and falling asleep with the side of her face that Zhadist had bruised facing up. That side of her face was bandaged still.

"Yeah.." Hayven said, tilting his head to the side in confusion. "Since when did we get a cat...?" Hayven asked, wandering out into the all and scooping up the cat in his arms. "Well, hello there. " he said, holding the cat up in his arms. "Since when did we get you? Ah well, the more the merrier!" he said, bringing her back into Colby's room andd setting her on the bed next to Colby as he closed the door. "Look, love. I found a cat out in the hallway. Have you ever wanted a pet? Personally, I've always been more of a dog person, but this one'd be good to catch the mice out at our old house."
Chase watched her as she slept, leaving only to prepare her dinner before comming back up with a full plate of pasta. "Stephen..." Chase said, shaking her slightly, "It's dinner time."

Kat hissed and clawed at him. Colby smiled and reached for her, and Kat scratched her too and scrambled out of there, hissing angrily at being assaulted. She sauntered downstairs and curled up on the couch, brooding angrily.
Colby winced and looked at the cut as it healed. "I'm a dog person too," she agreed sourly. "Evil kitty."
Stephen made an angry noise. She compared Chase to Damon, and noted happily that Damon let her sleep. "I'm not hungry," she growled and closed her eyes and pulled the covers over her head.

"Are you alright?" Hayven asked, moving to her side and examining the hand that had been scratched. "Stupid cat..here, I'll get the peroxide and some band-aids." Hayven said as he dissapeared into the bathroom.
"You need to eat." Chase gently reminded her, shaking her again until she sat up.

"It's fine, it's already healing," she said. Small cuts heal faster on werwolves. Thank goodness. "You can kiss it better though!" She offered, smiling coquettishly. Colby grew serious again. "Alright, back to helping your brother...What about flowers?"
Stephen sat up, grouchier than ever and she ate every bite and glowered at him, then relaxed. "Can I have some...Just one vodka-tonic?" she asked, hoping he said yes. She could really use a drink at this point. She sighed and understood that Damon had been drinking to numb himself, and she wanted to be numb right now too. I wonder what he had to get that numb. she thought, then shook her head, disgusted with herself.

"Eh..."Hayven shrugged, his mind obviously preocuppied in a fantasy that had been triggered from her sugguesting he kiss her finger. Focing himself to focus, he shook his head to clear it. "Damon's probably already thought of that....you know what, though. Stephen trusts you. Maybe if you convinced her Damon was right for her, that would help." he said, grinning. " I could send her in here since you can't move from the bed and tell her you want to talk to her." he sugguested.
"No." Chase answered firmly. "Drinking corrodes your liver and kills brain cells." he informed her, preaching like any good doctor would. "Now, why don't you talk to me about your past." Chase said, wanting to get her mind of liqour. "Have you ever been married?" he asked, a seemingly innocent quesiton.

"I might need some help encouraging her," she said. "I uh...I'm good with hooking them up, and I know Damon's still got good in him, but I don't know if I can convince her of that...So stay with me?"
Stephen grumbled something dirty to the sound of, "Having a stick up your ass kills the brain cells that prodcue fun." She was just cranky at being on a new diet, waking up, crying, and...Well, everything had kinda come down finally in a big, exhausting crash for her. "Never been married," she muttered and rubbed her eyes, pulling the pillow into her lap again as she fluffed it and then put it behind her for something to lean on.
Kat walked up the stairs and found Damon's room. She had thought about it, and decided she felt pitiful for him, so she wanted to apologize for clawing him. She scratched at his door, mewling. The dude probably doesn't have any friends now, geeze.

"Of course." Hayven said, kissing her forehead. "You want me to go get her right now, or should we wait till Chase finishes his little 'Dr.Phi' session with her." Hayven laughed, shaking his head.
"And what about your past?" Chase asked, ignoring the malace in her voice as he urged her to be honest about her pent up feelings and emotions and let it out.
Hearing a peculiar noise at the base of his door, Damon slowly walked over , cracking his door open and hoping it was Stephen but only seeing the cat that had taken to clawing him earlier. "You back to take anther bat at me?" Damon asked, looking down at the cat. "Fine, whatever." Damon said, letting the cat in and closing the door behind the animal. "It's not like either of us has much to live for anyways. What can your life be like, scrounging around in trashcans with no one that cares for you or will remember you when you die?" he asked, noting the fact that the cat had no collar.

"...Lets wait. I dont' want an angry Stephen or miserable Stephen...Maybe it'll perk her up!" She said with doubtfilled eyes. She sighed and leaned back. "That has to suck. Being stuck with Dr. Phil until he deams you healthy again."
"What about it?" she asked, being uncomfortable answering this question. Where did he want her to start, she wondered. Probably from childhood, when her first problems began. Come to think of it, Damon didn't know her past either. She sighed inwardly at the concept. She didn't want to tell him her past now, since his was far worse than hers had ever been.
Kat crawled in and curled around his legs, rubbing. She hopped on his bed and waited for him to sit down before going to lick the wounds she'd given him- if they were still there. HEY, who said I don't have much to live for? I have- had people who missed me, but they got butchered by the slayers. Don't assume things about pleasant housecats, she thought and nipped him gently at his comment, as if to say 'Hey, I have people who love me, buddy.' or 'Don't make assumptions about my life.' This place was nice, so she figured she'd be in cat form for most of her life- except when everyone was upstairs and she could steal food for herself from the fridge.

Hayven nodded in agreement. "Chase isn't intentionally boring- I think its more like a personality trait than a punishment in his case." Hyaven said, shrugging. "But seriously, did you see the way he was looking at Stephen." Hayven said, shaking his head. "I guess he figured the hottest girl here was already taken so he'd go after second best." Hayven said, obviously referring to Colby as the hottest chick- although his opinion was obviously extremely biased.
"Come on..." Chase prodded her lightly. "Tell me about your past- its painfully obvious your's wasn't exaclt the stuff dreams are made of." Chase said bluntly, hoping this would get her to talk.
"Hey, don't take it personally. We're in the same boat as far as that goes." Damon said, petting the cat softly. "You know, I've always been an animal person- they never hurt you- not like humans do, not here." he said, pointing to his hear. "I'm sure you've had a rough life too, though. Having to scrounge around for food. Don't you have any kittens? Where's the rest of of your family?" Damon asked, not believing he was talking like this to a cat and carrying on a full conversation.
