Damon's face paled the color of snow as he processed her word. This was the only thing that could make the situation worse- burdening her with a child as a result of the violent act he'd commited against her. He would never abandon his child, whether Stephen chose to be with him or not, nor would he leave Stephen alone to provide for a child she hadn't wanted.
Chase's face reddened in anger as he immediately realized the only way Stephen could have gotten pregant. Trying to keep his emotions under control, Chase quckly went to his bag and pulled out a pregnancy test. The two men moved back into the bedroom, a quiet hate passing between the two as they gave Stephen some privacy to take the test.
"Good, love. " Hayven said, placing the plate onto the dresser and climbing onto the bed beside her. Wrapping his arms around her, he kissed the top of her forehead as he said, "Sleep, and I'll watch over you. Even angels need rest."

Stephen shut and locked the door once she finished throwing up. Great, between pregnancy sickness and trauma she wouldn't gain any of the weight her doctor told her to gain. She sat on the toilet and did the pee-thing, and waited. She licked her lips at the little smiley face and set it down, and opened the door. ''I want two more, just in case,'' she said softly, color very white. There was no denying it; she was pregnant. But hey, the more sticks to verify, the merrier.
Colby smiled and drifted off, against him. Kat listened outside for Hayven to go under as well.

Damon froze, knowing what her request must've meant. "Your pregnant.....with my child- our child....." Damon said, his voice no louder than a whisper as his eyes drifted down to her stomach and back up to her face. Moving towards her, Damon held her hands in his. "Stephen...I know you don't want children but....let me be there for you, let my help you through this and prove myself to you. I never wanted children either, but....this could be what we need." Chase flinched at Damon's words. "Yeah, well, she wouldn't be pregnant if you hadn't forced your way inside of her Damon." Damon flinched as if he'd been hit across the face. "Fuck off, Chase. This isn't your business anymore. Your her doctor, and nothing more. Don't forget your place, because overstepping the line could be...hazardous to your health." Chase rolled his eyes, unfazed by the threat. "Stephen....what do you want?" Chase asked, willing to give the poor girl whatever she needed.
Hayven drifted off to sleep a few minutes after Colby, his mind doing to her what his body couldn't while she was pregnant with a swollen belly and three werewolf infants growing in her stomach.

Stephen tensed, looking down at their hands. She was shocked. She exhaled slowly and closed her eyes. She was torn between wanting to be alone, and wanting to have company. She didn't want to cry anymore though, and if she was alone, she knew she would, so she chose the latter. ''Can we watch a movie?" she asked them, not indicating which she would rather watch with because that would only further the problems the two of them had. ''I don't want to be alone right now.''
Kat snuck in as soon as their breathing patterns matched, and she strode casually over to his shoes. She made the quietest heaves and tossed up hair and food into his shoes, each one. Then she bolted out and found her way into Stephen's room. She rubbed against the person who seemed to be struggling the most now- and that was Chase at this point. She rubbed against him for attention.

Damon choked back the pain he felt at hearing Stephen ask Chase to keep her company. He stayed silent as he eyed the two, trying to gauge the strength of their relationship.
Chase looked down at the cat rubbing up against him- he'd always liked cats- they were crafty, and could survive in just about anything. Picking the cat up, Chase stroked it absentmindedly as he adressed Stephen. "Alright, a movie it is." He was determined to readress the matter of Stephen being pregnant and what exactly she was going to do about the child, but he figured he'd give her some time to cope first.

''Damon, will you watch a movie with me?" she asked, looking up at him, and then to Chase. ''you too?" She smied at Kat and stroked her head. ''Hey, Angelcakes. Where've you been?" Tossing my cookies in Hayven's shoes, she thought, purring happily. Stephen looked at the two men, waiting for their answers.

Damon and Chase exchanged hostile glances, both of them nodding in response to her question and positioning themselves at opposite ends of the couch parallell to the T.V. Damon was quiet while Chase spoke, "So, what are we going to be watching?" he asked, leaving the decision up to her.

She grabbed a zombie movie at first, but then recalled her first pregnancy. She settled on a kids movie after that, knowing gore inevitibly made her nauseas during her pregnancy. She took a seat between them, feeling more awkward now. Should've chosen to be alone she thought and pressed play on the menu. She leaned back into the cushion, closer to Damon than to Chase. Kat noted this and inwardly chuckled, rubbing against chase. He was very attractive, and if he hadn't thought of her as a house cat, she would totally have been hitting on him. Maybe she should reveal what she was now? Nah, it could wait.

Damon was stiff throughout the whole movie, obviously bothered by the idea that Stephen had asked Chase to stay as well. He obviously wasn't enough for her- he was lacking something that Chase had. Paranoia taking hold of him, Damon began breaking down how Chase and him were different which only made him feel worse about the whole situation. Why was he even bothering, he had nothing to offer her- Chase had everything to offer her, everything and more.
Chase, on the other side of the couch, absentmindedly pet Cat as he watched the movie, noting how Stephen sat farther away from him then Damon. Why did she like him? Why was she wasting her time on someone who was causing her so much pain? Maybe she had a masochistic streak she wasn't telling him about.

Stephen sat tense through the movie. No one was talking or laughing or smiling. She ended up pulling herself into a ball, feeling alone in a crowd. She stared blankly at the screen, getting lost in her fears again. She was having a baby- the baby of the man she loved but had raped her. She couldn't get rid of it, no way. Her eyes became half-lidded, watching the antics of the characters on screen. Her posture got even more stiff.
Kat purred and licked his arm, nuzzling him affectionately, until she fell asleep.

Damon finally stood up, turning to Stephen on the couch. "That's it! Nobodies enjoying this movie because everybodies thinking about what nobody here wants to say. I love you, Stephen, and your having my baby- our baby- god damn it. Where the hell does Chase figure into all this? Do you love him? Do you love me? I don't care how much the honest answer hurts, but I have to know. I can't do anything else than I already have to try and make it up to you- and so if your not going to forgive me, then I'll get what I deserve, but I need to know. If he is what you want-" Damon said, turning to Chase, "then go ahead- take him if he'll make you happy. He's obviously hot for you- but I need to know." Chase reddened at the mention of him being hot for Stephen, bu he didn't deny it.

Stephen gaped up at him, eyes slowly filling up with emotion as he spoke. She stared up at him, only at him. Her gaze lowered and she shifted so her legs fell over the edge of the couch. She reached up and grasped his hand tightly, looking up at him. ''I think I still love you...Chase...i'm sorry...but you annoy me,'' she told him softly, looking down. ''I still need time to heal though, Damon...I need you here with me...'' She was getting tense. ''Don't leave me.'' The first time she was pregnant, her lover ran off at the first word of it. It was awful. She looked even smaller now, shaking again.

"I wouldn't leave you if you chased me off." Damon said, kissing the hands she reached out to him with. "Take all the time you need....I just had to know." he reassured her.
Chase felt like the breath had been knocked right out of him as her words hit him hard. "Yeah....alright...I'll leave." Chase mumbled, feeling like his heart had been ripped from his chest as he made his way towards the door and to an empty room a few doors down. He needed to be alone after that, and he was in no emotional state to drive.

Stephen listened to Chase leave and pulled Damon down. She wanted to be held and comforted again- she needed it.
Kat followed him downstairs and rubbed against him. She licked his hands and face and whatever she could, nuzzling him. Hey, dude, that was really cold of her to say but she is hurting and you weren't helping...Here, let me heal you... She mewled and looked up at him sadly in her cat form, mewling again. It was like she was trying to sooth him. Too bad he's enamored with that rape vic. Kat was starting to get a thing for Chase.

Damon sat down on the couch next to Stephen and pulled her into his lap, cradling her in his arms and whispering soothing words to her as he held her. God, they were having a child. He never in a million years thought that they would end up being parents- or the reason. Stroking her hair as he held her, Damon whispered into her ear, "It's alright, Stephen. Everythings going to be fine. Your going to be okay. Just relax. We'll get through this together."
Chase looked down at the odd cat that seemed to have taken a liking to him. "Hey, where'd you come from?" he asked, picking the cat up and stroking it. He figured this was better than nothing- studies had shown animal therapy was effective in certain situations. "So you saw that back there, huh? I guess I'm not much of a charmer." he laughed, shaking his head. Growing up, Hayven had always been the one that got all the girls, followed by him. Guess he had lost his charm over the years. Sitting down with the cat still in his arms, Chase sighed to himself, wondering if there was a reason, despite his high-paying career and good looks, that he was alone.
