"So," Selina said as she stared out the window of the car at miles and miles of nothing. "Where exactly are we going again?"
"I don't know for sure yet," Klaus said. "But I thought we'd stop off at Enid's just so she knows where we are and everything."
Selina yawned and stretched out. "Why would she need to know where we are? And why do I feel so tired all of a sudden?"
"You just go to sleep," he said. "I'll wake you up again when we get there."
Selina shut her eyes. "Okay."
He drove for a little while longer, but finally pulled off on the side of the road and left the engine idle. Then he just watched her sleep and ran his fingers through her hair.
Finally, Alistair came and tapped on the window. "What's wrong?" He asked. "Did something happen? Did the car break down?"
"Oh," Klaus blinked. "No." Suddenly, he felt very silly. He turned the car on again and kept driving.
Stay focused, he told himself. Don't let yourself get lost in silliness because then we'll all be in trouble.
When they reached Enid's bar, instead of waking her, Klaus carried her inside.
"What happened to her?" Enid asked, hurrying over to them. "Don't tell me that Hazel or Vanessa..."
"No," Klaus shook his head. "She just fell asleep."
"Well no wonder," Enid said. "You can go put her upstairs if you like."
When he came back down, Enid said "Can I get you anything? You look like you could use a drink."
"Actually," He said, "we're sort of on the run. Hazel decided to leave us be, but I'm still worried about Vanessa. She's already almost killed Selina several times. And I have no doubt she'll keep trying..."
"And we can't have Selina getting killed of course," Enid said. "I think it would be best if the two of you stayed here until the baby is born. I can easily keep Vanessa away."
"Thank you," Klaus said.

When Selina opened her eyes, she saw Astrid sitting in a wood chair beside the bed. "Hey," she said. "Are you all right?"

"Yeah," Selina nodded and looked around. "Where am I?"

"We made it to Enid's," Astrid explained. "But you were asleep and Klaus didn't want to wake you so Enid told him to bring you up here and tuck you in."

"Oh," Selina sat up. "Well, don't I feel ridiculous? I'm a little old for naps, aren't I?"

"Well..." Astrid said, "you might want to take one every now and then. It wouldn't hurt you."

"Okay..." Selina got out of bed. "Just where is Klaus, anyway?"

Astrid shrugged, pushing some of her blonde hair out of her eyes. "Downstairs I guess. Do you want me to come down with you?"

Selina nodded. "Sure, I guess. If you'd like to. Were you sitting there the whole time watching me sleep?"

"Not the whole time," Astrid countered, following her down the stairs. "I've only been there for about ten minutes or so. Klaus figured that you'd be waking up soon and he didn't want you to be alone, especially since you weren't aware of where you were."

"Oh," Selina said. "Well, isn't that sweet?"

"Yes," Astrid smiled. "I think it is."

They stepped into the bar and found Klaus and Alistair sitting next to each other and talking. When they saw Selina, they immediately changed the subject. "Hi," Klaus said, coming over to her. "Glad to see you're up. Are you all right?"

"Yes," Selina gave him a look. "Are you? You're acting strange."

"No, I'm not." He appealed to Alistair. "Would you say I'm acting strange?"

"No," Alistair said quickly. He looked at Selina. "What would give you that idea?"

"Well," Selina said, "for starters, he's being way too nice to me. We haven't had a decent fight in who knows how long."

"I do," Alistair said. "The last time he found you here and brought you back."

"Oh, yeah," Selina took a seat at one of the barstools. "Can I drink yet, Pete?" She called.

"No," he shook his head. "What kind of juice can I get you?"

Selina rolled her eyes. "Orange juice, I suppose. Why is it I can't drink anything again? And don't just tell me 'because it's bad for me'. I want an actual answer."

"About what?" Enid asked, coming to join Pete behind the bar.

"Why he won't let me drink anything except juice when he was letting me have rum and Cokes last time I was here," Selina said. "I want to know."

"Why can't we just tell her?" Pete asked Enid.

"I don't think she'd believe us," Enid said. "She'll have to find it out for herself."

"Find what out?" Selina asked. "Will someone please just tell me what's going on?"

But they all ignored her. She took her orange juice and headed back upstairs, tucking herself into bed again. She was close to tears. When she heard the knock on the door, she sat up. "Come in," she called. Klaus entered and looked at her. "I thought I'd find you up here," he said. "What's the matter?"

"Something's going on," she said. "Something's going on and no one's telling me what it is."

"What makes you think something's wrong?" He asked, coming to sit down next to her. "I mean, other than what we know is wrong, with Vanessa chasing after us and everything."

"Stop lying to me," Selina ordered. "Everyone's treating me strangely, like I've suddenly become fragile. I can't drink, and I bet if I asked you to fight me right now, you wouldn't do it."

"Well, no," he said. "I wouldn't."

"Well stop doing that!" She snapped, bursting into tears. "Am I sick? Is there some new disease about that kills werewolves or something? Have I caught it? Am I going to die? Is that why everyone's being so nice to me?"

"No," he began rubbing her back. "Of course that's not it. There's something else, though."

"What?" Selina asked. "What's wrong with me?"

"Nothing is wrong with you," he said. "You're just pregnant. That's all."

Selina's eyes widened and she pulled back from him a little. "Excuse me? I'm...what?"

"You're pregnant," he said.

Selina stood up. "How the hell do you know? How the hell did this happen?" She began pacing around the room. "You mean, right at this very moment I'm pregnant."

"Yes," He nodded. "Enid says you've been for about a month."

"Oh, God," Selina said. "So you mean I was pregnant when Vanessa stabbed me, and when I was almost drowned and-"

"Yes," he nodded.

"Well," she sighed. "That makes me feel real good. How could this have happened?"

"See," he said grinning, "When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much-"

"Oh, shut up!" Selina snapped. "I know how it happened. I'm not an idiot. This is what I get for forgetting to take my pills one night."

"You seem surprised," he said. "I would have thought that it would be inevitable, based on the miles we've put on our mattress."

"Not funny," Selina said.

"I wasn't trying to be funny," He said. "I was just making a point."

Selina sat down on the bed and ran her fingers through her hair. "I know," she said. "I know."

"That's mainly why Vanessa's after us," Klaus said. "She wants to get rid of you and the baby."

"Wonderful," Selina flopped back onto the mattress. "A surprise pregnancy and a price on my head all in the same day. Could it get any better?"

"I don't want you leaving here," he said. "We can't take any chances."

"You can't do that," Selina said. "You can't just tell me how I'm supposed to live my life. That's none of your damn business, is it?"

"You don't have leverage for that anymore!" He snapped. "You've nearly been killed twice and I'm not going to risk that happening again just because you have some misguided notion that you know better! Do you realize how hard it was to watch Vanessa stab you?" He asked. "Or what is was like when I pulled your unconscious body from the water? You weren't even breathing! How many times are you going to make me do that before it finally hits home to you that there are beings out there that want you dead and will stop at nothing to make sure they do what they set out to do and they do it well?"

For once, Selina was stunned into silence. She couldn't think of anything to say to that. He just gazed at her self-righteously until she finally found her voice again. "Can we compromise?" She asked finally. "If I promise to have you, or Alistair or Astrid with me, can I leave the house every once in awhile? Not even every day, just every once in awhile."

"All right," he said at last. "But you really do have to swear that you'll have someone with you at all times and that you'll come right back and tell Enid or that bartender where you're going before you leave."

"Okay," Selina said, keeping her eyes on him. "I promise." She stood up and walked over to him, putting her arms around him. "I really do promise."

And life continued in that manner for the next couple of months. Finally, one morning, after waking up at two am and locking herself in the bathroom to throw up until she was sure there was nothing left in her and then feeling so tired and achy that she slept nearly until noon, she went to Astrid and Alistair's room to ask if Astrid would come with her to the store.

"Sure," Astrid asked. "But for what? Medicine? You don't look so well."

"No," Selina shook her head. "Not medicine. A pregnancy test."

"But you already know that you're pregnant," Astrid told her as they waited for Enid so they could tell her where they were going. "Why do you need to take a test to prove it?"

"I don't know," Selina shrugged. "I guess it would be nice to just have some scientific proof, you know?"

"You've been up for awhile, haven't you?" Astrid asked.

"Yeah," Selina nodded. "Nausea at 2 am." She rolled her eyes. "Not the best way to start the day."

Enid approached the bar. "What's going on? Did you want to go out?" She asked Selina.

"Yeah," Selina nodded. "I need to go pick something up at the store."

"All right," Enid nodded. "Be careful. Do you want me to have a cup of tea waiting for you when you get back?"

"Sure," Selina nodded. "Thanks."

She and Astrid left the club and headed to the nearest supermarket where they bought the pregnancy test and then went back to the bar to check it out.

"Okay," Selina said. "I got one of the ones with the digital readout instead of the color stripe." She and Astrid stared down at it. Eventually, a word showed up on the screen: Pregnant.

"Well," Astrid said, "Now you know."
