The Seven Tests

The celio floated inside the eden. The celio was exploring its environment and since it probably wouldn't be long before it matures and exits the eden, the celio wanted to spend as much time as possible inside.

Dot Branning was shocked when she thought she might be pregnant. She was 74 years old, so she was shocked. She thought she was given a second chance after Nick.

Denise Johnson was surprised. What if the baby was Lucas's baby? It would be terrible. It could be Kevin's but that's impossible. Denise thought it might be the result of a one-night stand.

Janine Butcher wanted to scream. She wanted to run to the flat and grab the bed sheets and flung them all over the room. She saw the chance she might be pregnant. She wanted a baby, but this seemed too sudden. What if it wasn't Ryan? It could be that drunk, Scaver's. But Scaver was a middle-aged man who vandalized buildings, manipulated people, especially young girls and who drank so much you would have sent him to hospital the first moment you saw him.

Janine said "It couldn't be the drunk. No, it's Ryan. No, it's not his. It couldn't be that devil's baby."

Janine knew it couldn't be Scaver's baby. It was only a pointless, clever one-night stand. She was only out for Scaver's money. He might have been a worthless, old drunk but he was very wealthy. She had stole over 10,000 pounds by the time he fell asleep and 100,000 more by the end of the night for her and Ryan. So it must be Ryan's baby. She didn't do anything sexual with that madman.

Lauren Branning looked at the test. No, it was impossible. She had no current boyfriends, except that boy she met in America and they were just friends. The two have never gotten any further than kissing and a few dates, which she then dumped him. Lauren knew it couldn't be Peter's baby. Lauren thought "Who is the father?"

When she told her mom and dad that she was pregnant, her dad was at first shocked then angry. Her mom was cheerful.

Tanya asked "Who's the father, Lauren?"

Lauren thought "Should I tell them that there is no father? Or should I lie?"

Lauren said "Just one- night stand in America. It was a guy I had met at camp."

Tanya said "Well, shouldn't you tell him that he's the father?"

Lauren said "No, Mum. I think I can take this baby on my own."

Tanya's eyes widened. She had a baby as well when she was young and now she's divorced and engaged to a monster that should be in jail or anger management classes.

Tanya said "Are you sure, Lauren? This all seems very sudden. Maybe you want me to help take care of the baby."

Lauren knew that if she left the baby with Tanya and Greg, it would be a mess. Greg would attack that baby, just like he had attacked her on so many dark nights.

Lauren said "No, I'll be able to take care of it."

Denise was in her room and was in a feral position, crying. She was about to have a baby and she didn't know anything about them, let alone the father.

Jordan entered the room. He heard his mum crying and he knew what she was thinking. But he couldn't do anything about it. The only thing they both could do is to just be waiting like they always are.

Janine saw one of Scaver's friends, Lucas Kilomen, aka "Lemon". Lemon had just turned 15 but had a very long record that included stealing, assault, murder and even a few accounts of rape.

Lemon knew Janine and hated her with a passion. Lemon was a fighter so she knew what her plan was. She knew that not even Ryan would know what madness would explode from Hell and come to Earth next.
