Chapter 2

They walked through the doorway of the house and into the living room.

"Hun?" Skulduggery called through the house, and a beautiful woman walked out of the kitchen

"Wow" Oceane, Lythia and Sydney said at the same time all transfixed on her face, none of them wanted to look away

"Hello" Said the woman in her wonderful voice "My name is China, China Sorrows" She said extending her hand

"Hi I am-"Oceane started before Skulduggery got in her way

"Stop that" He said to China

"Stop what, what am I doing now?" China asked with puppy dog eyes

"Stop it" Skulduggery said even firmer then he turned to the girls transfixed on China's face, "This however is not my wife" he said, then Valkyrie walked through the same door, she took one look at Skulduggery and ran to give him a huge hug

"Oh, are you all right?" She asked looking at him with loving eyes

"I'm fine, are you ok?" He asked but before Valkyrie could answer, Skulduggery swept her up in his arms and kissed her so hard that her lips bruised.

Oceane was looking at them in a weird way, when they broke for air Valkyrie looked at the girls, "Oh, hello?"

"Um, does that feel weird?" Sydney asked bluntly looking at them in horror

"No, offence but I was kinda expecting another skeleton when he said hun" Oceane said also giving them a weird look.

"OMG VALKYRIE!!!!!!" Lythia screamed, Skulduggery looked at Sydney and Oceane, "Does she always scream?"

"No, not usually she is on a Skulduggery high!" Oceane answered with a smile

"A what?" Skulduggery asked

"Don't worry" Sydney said as she stepped forward, "Sydney Jones at your service" She said holding out her hand to be shaken

"Valkyrie Cain" Valkyrie said shaking Sydney's hand

"Oceane LeClaire" Oceane said shaking her hand as well

"Well this is nice…who the heck are you?" Valkyrie asked suddenly suspicious

"Um didn't we just introduce ourselves?" Sydney asked thinking it may have been a dream

"Yes, but who are you?"

"Val dear, come on sit down, there is no need to hype yourself up" Skulduggery said gently

"Oh so now your taking their sides, you aren't even Skulduggery are you?" Valkyrie said hysterically and sounding close to tears

"No, no I am not taking their sides and I am Skulduggery, just come on and sit down" Skulduggery said calmly leading her to the couch,

"What is going on?" Oceane asked China

"Well, you see, when two people love each other so much they do some stuff and-"
"OMG SHE'S PREGNANT!!!!!?????" Lythia screamed

"Um yes, she is" China said

"WHAT??" Skulduggery said before storming out of the room. Valkyrie looked upset.
