Title: When Everything Is Made To Be Broken

Pairings: Caleb/Sarah, Pogue/Kate, Tyler/OC (later), Reid/OC (later)

Summery: "Every generation the bloodlines produce only one heir, the eldest male." What happens when that heir comes a little sooner then expected or even wanted? And not to mention when there's a familiar enemy looming just out of sight ready to attack.

Disclaimer: I own nothing that has to do with the Covenant, I'm just borrowing them for a little bit. I promise I will return all of them in working order, although Caleb may need to rest for a few days...

"Why are you so curious today?" Caleb asked as he leaned in for another kiss across the table strewn with all of their study materials.

"Focus," Sarah said seriously. "I just want to know." Caleb sighed, knowing he wouldn't get anything out of her until he answered her question.

"Each bloodline produces only one heir. Always a boy."

"So if Reid in all his man whore ways got a girl pregnant and she got an abortion, would that be it for him?" Caleb frowned and leaned back in his chair. It was a strange string of questions for her to be asking him.

"No, he wouldn't be able to get her pregnant. The book tells us that only in the midst of true love can an heir be produced. Seriously Sarah, why are you asking?" When she shrugged he knew something was going on with her.

FLASHBACK

Dinner and then a walk by the lake was the perfect way to start over after Chase tried to kill them both. He had wanted everything to be just right, all of it ending with him asking her to stay the night with him. He had set up his bedroom with candles placed around the room and rose petals sprinkled along the floor and on the bed. He had always been a hopeless kind of romantic and Sarah loved it so he pretty much thought of them as a match made in heaven. Not to mention no girl had ever made him feel the way she did. She was walking, talking perfection in his eyes. He couldn't help but smile widely when she gasped at the sight of the room. Turning to look at him, she pulled him to her by the lapels of his jacket and kissed him.

"It's amazing," she whispered.

"You're amazing," he told her, meaning every word of it. She had been put through hell the past couple of weeks and all because she was a part of his life. He couldn't have asked for a better girl to share his secret with and now he was going to show her how much he loved her for it. Leaning in to kiss her again, Caleb slipped out of his jacket and tossed it on his desk chair.

Sarah followed his lead and removed her own sweater before wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him closer to his body. She always felt so right against him, he never understood it but that what it was. He took his time, showing her how much he adored her as he slowly removed all of her clothing along with his own. Laying her on the bed, softly on the rose petals, he then took his time loving her. When it was over and they were both spent, he gathered her in his arms and held her close.

"I love you," he whispered into her hair as she fell asleep with her head on his chest.

END FLASHBACK

Caleb paced restlessly back and forth in his room twenty minutes later as he waited for Sarah to come out of his bathroom with the results of the test they had gone into town to pick up. He was nervous, really fucking nervous. He knew he loved Sarah, with every fiber of his being, but he wasn't ready for a child. It wasn't supposed to be this way. He was supposed to go to Harvard and graduate before he started a family, not be 18 and not even out of high school. There wasn't much of an option as to what to do though. He knew that Sarah believed in abortion but she knew that this was it for him. This was his heir to the powers. If she got an abortion then his family line would end.

Swallowing hard, Caleb ran a hand over his face and sighed as he stopped. With his back to the door he didn't even notice that Sarah had come out and was watching him.

"Caleb?" He jumped at the sound of her broken voice and turned to face her. He knew what the results were without even hearing them from her. It was written all over her face and it made his heart clench. Opening his arms, he wrapped them around her as she walked into them and clung to him as she cried.

"It'll be okay, Sarah," he whispered, closing his eyes. "We'll figure it out. I promise, together we'll figure it out." She said nothing, only nodded her head into his chest as she continued to cry. And Caleb prayed to whoever was listening to help him figure out exactly how they were going to solve this. "Let's get you into bed, okay? You should be resting."

"Already going into over protective Caleb mode?" She teased, voice muffled by the tears and his chest. He couldn't help but laugh all the same. He did have the tendency to be a bit over protective, but that was just who he was. And she had already seen that side of him, so she had to be used to it by now.

"Come on," he said, moving them together toward his bed so she could lay down and he could sit with her. They had a lot to talk about and he wanted to get a good bit of it done tonight, if she was up to it.

"Stop thinking so hard," she told him as she laid back on his bed and he pulled a blanket over her. Running a hand over his face, he pulled a chair up to the bedside and sat down heavily. "My question earlier? Is this it for you? If this baby doesn't get born will you produce again?" He watched her as she looked down at the bed spread while lying on her side and picking at the blanket.

"Yes."

"So there's nothing to decide." Leaning his forearms on his thighs he looked at her seriously.

"There is something to decide. My future is not the only thing in question here, Sarah. This is your life too. I can't ask you to give everything up just because of what an ancient law tells me." Although he wished he could.

"I wouldn't do that to you. I wouldn't let your family line just end with you, you have to know that," she sat up at she talked and leaned against the headboard of the bed. He didn't want her to feel like she had to do this for him. He loved her for being willing, but he couldn't and wouldn't ask her to save his legacy.

"We don't have to decide right now. You need to sleep and tomorrow we'll call up and make a doctor's appointment. Who knows, maybe the test is wrong?" But deep down he knew it was right, he was in love with Sarah and that meant only one thing. Time for him to make an heir.
