As Hayven put his hands where he could feel the baby kicking, his grin widdened. "I bet this one's a boy. The kicks strong." he piped, proud of what they had created.
"Yeah, but I got to her before she could kill it..." Damon said, feeling the dread emminating off of her like a thick fog. "So, how'd you get her? Did she just show up one day, or what?"

"Or a very proud girl," she suggested. "Or an angry girl- Maybe she has to share the womb with two brothers and she wants out." Colby laughed, putting her hand over his and tracing little shapes. "I love you." she mumbled softly.
"Oh...um...Chase found it and gave it to me..." she answered and watched as the cat squirmed out of Damon's arms and onto the floor, sniffing again. Stephen stopped her this time from going after the mouse. "I...I ugh...said something dumb about needing to get lots of cats..." she didn't tell him what she'd actually said, because he'd feel worse probably.

Hayven looked over at his bride-to-be affectionately, wondering how he'd gotten so lucky. "You'll make a wonderful mother." he whispered in her ear, following her gaze down to her swollen belly.
"Oh..." Damon said, trying not to let the jealousy that she and Chase were getting closer show. "So,you two are getting along.." Damon said, keeping his eyes on the floor and glancing up at her ever so often.

"And you'll make an excellent father," she said in a soft voice and moved her hand to rub her belly. "can you feel the kicking?" she asked. Colby smiled softly in glee.
"I guess...He made me talk about our past..." she said, sighing. She wasn't too fond of the doctor parts of Chase, though he himself was very nice. "And you and Angelcakes are getting along too..." She glanced up at him to see how he looked, then away.

"Yeah, I can. I still believe there's three little tykes growing inside of you! Shouldn't you be bigger? Maybe I'm not feeding you enough..." he said, getting up to get her some more food. "I'll be right back, love. Dinners on the way." Hayven said, grining as he jogged down the hallway and into the kitchen and began to fix her some dinner.
"Yeah.." Damon said, looking away and then down. "Listen..Stephen....If you want to go back, to your old life I mean, you can...Aynon's not here to stop you and, well, Hayven doesn't really know what the hell's going on half the time as it is." he said, shaking his head. "Do you want to leave..." He felt like he was keeping her prisoner here- keeping her prisoner and torturing her at the same time. This was the only sacrifice he had left to make, letting her go- and letting her be truly happy without him. Maybe she would move on- find a decent guy like Chase and then forget about him- but he knew he would never forget about her- not ever, and that was a long time considering hewas immortal.

She laughed at his worry and sat up, moving her hands over her stomach. "Okay, dinner...I missed your coooking," she mumbled to herself and took a pillow and put it behind her as a support for her back.
Stephen looked elsewhere, but inclined her head towards him as he spoke. She stiffened in surprise and looked up at him. She looked down and let the cat scamper off on her own. "Damon...What exactly would I be going back to?" she asked, looking up at him. "I hated my life before. Still hate my life, but it's a lot less stressful right now...I don't want to leave..." She touched his hand and held it tightly for a minute. She didn't want to leave at all. "Thank...Thank you for offering...It means a lot to me." She meant that. She frowned and pulled away a second later, wiping her eyes. "Aw, damn, I'm crying again."

As Hayven began cooking som shrimp alfredo with bread and a salad with carrot cake for dessert, his thoughts drifted back to his brother. He wondered if he'd ever see him again. Sighing, Hayven smiled, glad he'd at least be able to see his angel any time he wanted.
"Aww, Stephen. I'm sorry...I didn't mean to make you cry." he said, gently moving his hands to her face and wipping her tears away. "I just...I just want you to be happy. Tell me what'll make you happy, and I'll give it to you." he said, wishing he hadn't made her life a living hell by doing what he'd done to her.

Colby waited patiently upstairs.
Stephen flushed at the feel of his hands against her face. God, she wished he hadn't done what he'd done to her...She loved how he felt against her, how warm his hands were. "I really....I'm sorry," she whispered and moved away. She looked at her feet, hugging herself. "Give me time, please..." She shouldn't have done this, she knew it too.

"Yeah...of course....." Damon said, moving away from her with a sad expression on his face. "I guess that stupid sayings true..." Damon said, shaking his head, "You hurt the ones you love the most." Turning away, he forced himself to walk back to his room- she shouldn't have to leave, he had been the one to hurt her, not the other way around.

Stephen didn't look up at his face, unable to bear it. Once he was in her room, she made her way back to Dr. Phil to talk about the touchie-feely crap she hated. She got inside and mumbled the cat got away and was downstairs somewhere. She got back into bed and was silent.
Kat saunted in cat form into the kitchen and looked around and spotted Hayven. She frowned and sat down, waiting patiently for him to leave so she could get some dang food.

"So.....how was your conversation with Damon?" Chase asked, obviously having heard the whole conversation between the two of them. Chase had been tempted to interrupt their conversation, but he knew Stephen needed that interaction with him to get over what she was suffering through.
"Welll hello there." Hayven said, looking down at her. "You know, you scratched up my wife pretty good! I should throw you outside for that!" he said, pointing the spatchela he had in his hand at the cat. "But....I'll give you one more chance. If you scratch her up again though, its outside for you." he said, shaking his head.

She looked at him, cringing. "It was awkward, but good overall," she answered softly. She didnt' want to talk about it- she wanted to think and cope and think and cope.
She glowered at him from the floor, letting out a mewl of indifference. Yeah yeah, hurry it up buddy. Some of us need to use our thumbs as soon as possible.

Chase knew he shouldn't press her on the subject, but he couldn't help himself. He felt this burning in his chest every time the two of them interacted, and he wasn't exactly sure why yet but he had a good guess. "Why'd you stay?" he asked, wondering why she would get out of this looney bin if she could.
"Patience, my small friend." Hayven said, tossing her a peice of pasta. "There's a little treat to tide you over well you wait. You know, though, your going to need to learn some manners if you want to live here." he said, still holding a grudge at the cat for scratching up Colby.

Stephen looked up at him, thoughtfullness in her eyes. "You know...I don't know. I really did hate my life- still kind of do- but....Something in me told me not to leave..." She shrugged and sat up, hair falling over her face and hiding her eyes. "I think I...I still might really like Damon..." she whispered.
Colby let out a low rumble and licked the pasta for a moment, then stopped and moved away from it. Yeah, yeah, I scratched your preggo wife one little cut and you're all pissy. Boo hoo. she thought.

Chase almost flinched as he heard the words come out of her mouth. "Fatal attraction..." he muttered to himself, shaking his head. Straitening up, Chase kept his voice low as he spoke to Stephen, "You know Damon's my friend, but I would stay away from if I were you...he's dangerous, though you already know that. Pursuing any time of relationship with him woulf be...misguided at best."
Damon inhaled deeply, hearing the conversation taking place between the two of them on the other side of the door. He thought Chase had been his friend, someone he could trust- that's why he'd called him in the first place- obviously he was wrong.
"Oh, not good enough for you, eh? Where'd they throw you out of, the broadmoore." Hayven laughed, stiring the alfredo he was cooking for colby.
