AN: How will things change now that a secret has been revealed? Read and find out!
Chapter Three: Fallout
Seth was sitting on Nora's and George's steps waiting for them to come home after going to the hospital after seeing Casey. Only Seth and possibly Casey knew that Casey was pregnant, and he knew that telling Alexander now that some gun toting ass killed his child before he had a chance to breathe, well, he knew what was going to happen, and that was not going to be pretty.
Seth looked up, and saw Nora walking towards him. Seth stood up, and saw him walking towards him, looking a little disheveled a little bit.
"Hey." Nora said in a bit of surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"Waiting for you to come home." Seth said. "I have to tell you something important, first, how is Casey?"
"She's doing better. It's going to be a little while before she will be back home." Nora said.
Seth nodded. He looked directly into Nora's eyes, and said, "Casey was pregnant. The bullets that hit her also killed the child that she was carrying."
Nora looked as though she was hit by a train. "What?"
"A doctor friend of the family told me. Alexander was the father."
"I don't believe it." Nora said, on the verge of tears. "How did Alexander take when you told him?"
"I didn't tell him." Seth said. "If I tell him about this, all he is going to do is sic his crew on the guy after we tell him and kill him."
"I can't believe it." Nora said sitting on the step by Seth. "I was going to be a grandmother."
"And I was going to be a uncle." Seth said, sadly. Seth looked towards the sky, thinking that this was the worse situation that he and Alexander have ever been in. Plus, by the way thins were going, they were bound to get a whole lot worse.

Alexander was sitting in the chair besides Casey's hospital bed. Casey was sound asleep in her hospital bed. Alexander just continued to look at her while she slept. She looked so peaceful, but she knew that she had a lot on her mind. What was on her mind? That was the question he did not have the answer to.
Alexander flipped open his cell phone, and answered it.
"Yeah?" Alexander said softly.
"It's me." Melissa said.
"What's the word?" Alexander asked.
"Nothing solid yet, but the word is that the punk who shot you and Casey is a kid at your school." Melissa said.
"Thanks, sis." Alexander said softly.
"Alexander." Melissa said.
"Yeah." Alexander responded.
"Keep your head through all of this." Melissa said. "We need you, and most of all, Casey needs you."
"Let me worry about that." Alexander said. "Thanks." He hung up, and looked over at Casey. As he stared at the peaceful sleeping of the young woman, Alexander knew one thing.
Whoever did this, was going to pay for it with their lives. He'll see to it himself.
AN: Next time, Alexander get's closer to the truth. R&R!
