ASH …
Ash was sitting on the front porch glaring at the hole in the floor. Since he came back, he had fallen in it at least a dozen times and was currently sitting beside it rubbing his shin on one leg and his ankle on the other. The stupid hole had really gotten him this time. He had been told to stay at Burdock Farm and wait. WHY? He didn't know. Jaz, Rowan, Jade, and Kestrel were all with Mary at the Doctor's office. It had been 3 months and the suspense had been killing him. He hoped and prayed it was a girl because he did NOT need a second miniature him running around. The first being his little brother Robin. Robin who had apparently herd the loud CRASH a few seconds ago stuck his head outside the open door.
"Fell again hun?" Robin said, laughing. "You either need to call someone to fix it or do it yourself."
"Shut up runt or I'll introduce your face to it!" an annoyed Ash said to the 15 year old, who only laughed some more.
"Shouldn't I be the one ordering you around kid?" Ash asked in exasperation after a few moments of listening to his laughter.
"Only in things your better at and I'm better at not being so clumsy, plus you keep forgetting to call the builders in town." The boy said after his laughter stopped.
Ash sighed and stud up. He felt like he would explode with anxiety if he did not move and just DO something. His plan had been to go outside and take a walk to clear his head of his worries, but falling in that whole had killed that mood. So he headed for the front door and nearly fell yet again. Then, the phone rang and in his hast to get to it in time, he tripped over someone's shoe. Ash thought it might be Mark's but wasn't sure beings he was so intent on the phone. Ignoring his brother, who laughed at see him nearly fall in the hole again and then laughed even harder at seeing him trip over a shoe and was currently on the floor holding his stomach, Ash picked up the phone and prayed for the thousandth time that it was a girl.
Mary….
Mary was sitting in the room the nurse gave her and her family. It had been 3 months since she got pregnant, saw the monster Jeremy, found out that the love of her life had been basically raped by an evil witch, and found out that Jaz, her cousin, was in fact soulmates was the little brother of the love of her life. Mary rubbed the small bump in her stomach with loving strokes. When she first got pregnant she was horrified. It was not that she didn't want to have a half blood vampire child, it was that she was not ready to take on the responsibility of raising a child period. Her life was just getting started and she just was not ready. For a while she wanted to get an abortion but after realizing what really happen between Ash and the witch and seeing how much Ash really wanted his child she just couldn't do it. Not after seeing him on the ground on his knees pleading for forgiveness for an act with a witch that he had no control over. Yes, Mary overreacted, but who wouldn't overreacted when told that your one true love had sex with another woman?
Why she through that pencil at him is beyond her, but as she held him in her arms while listening to him whimper and cry out as his sisters pulled it out was probley the worst and most horrifying moment of her life. Even now, the thought of what could have happened had her in tears. At that moment 3 months ago, she decided that if he would just remain alive she would give up a possible future with NASA and raise any child they had.
Mary set in her doctor bed and waited for the Doctor himself to come in. The furnisher was old yes, but comfortable. The chairs Jade, Jaz, Kestrel, and Rowan, were sitting in were old and well-use, but looked comfortable enough. Mary's blood sisters Jade, Kestrel, and Rowan had finale forgiven Ash for what he had done to Mary and Robin too after getting the full story from Ash himself.
FLASHBACK
Mary sat at the kitchen table listening to Ash talk and was horrified by what she heard. She was furious at this witch for make Ash do such horrible things after Ash had been trying so hard to make up for all the wrong he had done. As usually the kitchen was in big need of repair but she was too focused on Ash and his long tormenting story too really care.
"When I woke up from that meadow, I felt my self-moving and I just couldn't stop myself. I was being controlled. I understand what I feels like to be under someone else's power now. I will never use my mind control again….well at least not think of it in the same way again." Said Ash, as he explain what happen with his little brother.
Robin was sitting at the table quietly listening. Mary could tell he remembered the night clearly and after talking to him later on, Mary found that Ash would have died rather than hurt him if Robin had not told him that it was ok to beat him up. As for the witch, what she made Ash do was just plain horrible and had almost broken him.
"I woke up latter spooning her. When I thought she was asleep I tried to leave but she woke up and told me she was not done with me yet. I have never felt so helpless in my life" Ash told everyone with enormous difficulty and everyone could see he was trying not to cry. Mary looked at everyone and saw the horror and sadness on their faces. She knew that Ash had been forgiven completely and looking at him, she also that because of his experiences he had a completely new perspective on life.
END OF FLASHBACK
The door to Mary's room banged open and the Doctor strolled in.
"It's a boy!" he said happily while handing out the pictures as prove. Then he noticed a few missing people. "Where's Ash at?" He asked with puzzlement having met Ash a few times and therefore new all about his "I hope it's a girl" prayers.
"Mary made him stay at home and babyset Robin and Mark." Jade said with a grin while Jez laughed. Both teen boys had been happy to stay knowing that Mary would make Ash stay as well. Mary thought they just wanted to see what Ash would do with her being here at Doctor and him being at home. She mentally rolled her eyes.
"Besides I don't think I can take him and his prayers right now" Mary said with a happy sigh as she gazed at the very first picture of her little boy while quickly going through the long list of boy names in her mind.
