The flames were flickering, hissing, smoking. KT coughed, holding her rather rounded stomach. She ran forwards, only just missing the flames, and she wrapped her arms around the small cowering boy.
"KT!" Eddie yelled, but there was no way he could get to her since the flames were blocking his path. Tears filled his eyes. "KT, you can get out of there! Please!"
KT's eyes were also tearing up. "Eddie, catch him!" she shouted, and she threw the boy straight above the flames. He screamed, but he made it across unscathed. He ran towards Joy, who threw her arms around him, sobbing and kissing him.
"KT!" she yelled. "Jump!"
"What?!" KT yelled back.
"Over the banister!" Joy said. "Eddie will catch you!"
"I'm way too heavy to catch, Joy!" KT said.
"Not to me!" Eddie said from below. "Please, KT, just jump!"
KT looked around her as the flames got slowly closer. Everyone was crowded at the bottom now, but she could only focus on Eddie.
She slowly clambered onto the banister, looking up and closing her eyes. "He will catch me." She whispered, and she took a step forward and then she'd jumped. She could feel herself falling, bracing herself…
And then she was in someone's safe arms, holding her tight, crying and laughing all at once.
"I told you." Eddie whispered.
"I know." KT breathed, as he set her down.
"I'll always catch you, KT. Always." Then they ran out of the door with everyone, as the last of Anubis house got engulfed in flames…
And then KT woke up, gasping, her eyes wide. That had been a very…detailed dream.
But it had felt…so real…
KT got up and pulled on her dressing gown. Joy, Mara and Patricia were fast asleep. She sneaked downstairs and was surprised to see Eddie right at the bottom of the stairs.
"Hi." She whispered as she got to him, her eyes flickering up to the banister she'd jumped from in her dream. She then settled her eyes back onto Eddie, who looked pale. "You okay?"
"No…I just had a vision…" his eyes were wide. "Anubis was on fire, and you saved some little boy…think he was something to do with Joy…and then-"
"I jumped off the banister and you caught me, right?" KT said suddenly.
"Yeah." Eddie said, surprised. "How did you know?"
"I…I saw it too…" she said, frowning. "But…you're the Osirien, I thought you were the only one who could have visions…?"
"I don't know…are you okay, though?" Eddie asked, pulling her into a hug which she happily snuggled into.
KT shrugged. "I'm okay."
"Do you want to sleep in my room?" Eddie suggested.
"Yeah." KT said, and he led her to his room, where they cuddled in his bed. (don't worry, they didn't DO anything.)
"Eddie." KT whispered as she nuzzled against him tiredly.
"Mm?" he replied, wrapping his arms around her.
"I love you." She said.
He was surprised, and then he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. "I love you too."
The next day…
Fabian woke up and was surprised to see KT and Eddie curled up together, clinging like they could never let go. He smiled, quickly got changed and then left.
He was about to go into the living room when he heard Viktor talking to someone in there. Fabian hid and listened. His eyes grew wide and he got out his phone, recording the conversation. When Viktor and Mr. Sweet were gone, he ran towards his room and opened the door to see KT sitting on the end of Eddie's bed, her legs crossed, watching him as he looked through Fabian's laptop.
"Oh hey, Fabian." Eddie said. "Hope you don't mind, I was seeing if I could get anything up about Frobisher on your laptop."
"Guys, never mind that. Listen!" Fabian pressed the play button on his phone.
"KT Rush? Pregnant? With Eddie's baby?" Mr. Sweet sounded scandalized.
"Yes." Viktor responded. "And last night I heard them talking, and I think the amount of….closeness KT and Edison had must have transmitted some of Eddie's powers into KT, because they both had a vision last night, the same in every aspect."
"What are you suggesting, Viktor?" Mr. Sweet sighed.
"We must take the baby as soon as it is born." Viktor said.
"What? But why?" Mr. Sweet asked. "Viktor, we can't do such a thing!"
"Oh yes we can, and we will." Viktor said. "We will get that baby, mark my words."
KT's eyes were wide by this point, and Eddie's mouth had dropped open.
"No." KT growled suddenly, her hands balling into fists. "I won't let them take our baby."
"Neither will I." Eddie said. "Even if it means going against my dad. I don't care. That baby is ours, and nobody can take it away from us."
"We'll help protect you as best we can." Patricia said, once the situation was explained to her.
"Exactly!" Joy said. "They won't take away my godson…or goddaughter, whichever."
KT smiled slightly, but she was staring into space, biting her lip. Eddie took her hand and leaned over to whisper in her ear as the others turned to Fabian.
"I won't let them hurt you or the baby. I swear to you, KT." He said, and then he kissed her gently.
