He had compiled all of his research, knowing all of the things he'd have to deal with during the whole testing of the experiment. When Glitch read about the symptoms that he'd have, he mostly ignored them, assuming that they wouldn't be that bad. He was right. They weren't that bad… they were worse. Glitch leaned against the sink in the bathroom, washing out his mouth after vomiting for the third time that morning. He sighed and went back into his bedroom, lying down on the bed, hoping to go back to sleep. The second he closed his eyes, Cain entered the room.

"Glitch, you're going to have to get up." he stated, shaking him slightly out of his sleep.

"I don't want to." he groaned, pulling the blanket over his head. Cain sighed, yanking the blanket off of Glitch's head.

"Too bad. You need to." he replied, leaning against the bed post.

"I don't see why." Glitch replied, sitting up and rubbing his eyes.

"Well, two reasons," Cain answered, holding up two fingers, "One, you stayed in bed during breakfast yesterday and I had to deal with DG and Azkedellia questioning me left and right about where you were, eventually forcing me to say that you weren't feeling well and having more questions thrown at me. Two, we have to tell everyone about… um…" he continued, trying to find the right words.

"Child, Cain. The baby, that's the word." Glitch affirmed, crossing his arms.

"Yes, the baby." He confirmed, nodding, "Anyway, we need to tell everyone today." Glitch groaned, throwing his hands in the air.

"But Her Majesty already knows! Why should we have to mention it to the others?" he called out irritated.

"Glitch, it'll be a better result if you tell them. If the Queen does, we're going to be flooded with even more questions about why we didn't say anything ourselves."

Glitch sighed. "I suppose you're right." He stood and changed in to his military-like advisor's uniform. Even with half a brain, the Queen was still kind enough to allow him to continue with his usual advisor duties. Following Cain down the palace stairs and in to the dining room, they found the Queen, Ahamo, Azkedellia, Raw, DG, and Kalm sitting at their usual seats at the table. Glitch smiled weakly and took his seat next to Cain.

"Glitch! Are you feeling better?" DG asked, her voice kind but filled with concern. Glitch nodded and smiled at the young princess for a brief moment before raising an eyebrow at Raw who had been staring at him since he entered.

"Yes?" he inquired, picking at the food on his plate, refusing to eat.

Raw glimpsed around the room, as if looking for something. "What is it, Raw?" DG asked, turning to face him.

"Raw feel presence." he said calmly. Glitch's eyes widened and he exchanged a glance with Cain, who looked equally as nervous.

"Presence? You mean, like here?" Azkedellia asked, focusing on Raw from across a the table, a look of curiosity on her features.

Raw nodded and Kalm looked up. "Kalm feel it too." Kalm agreed, looking around before focusing on Glitch. "Coming from Mister Glitch."

Glitch gulped and shifted his eyes to the table. DG raised an eyebrow and turned to her half-brained friend. "What do you mean, 'coming from him?'"

Glitch forced an uncomfortable laugh, "I-I'm sure you're joking, Raw, Kalm. I assure you it's just me here." He looked to his left, catching Cain's glare and he looked back to the table.

"No, Kalm right. Presence coming from you, Glitch." Raw retorted, nodding his head.

"Alright, what's going on?" DG asked, staring impatiently at Glitch, waiting for an answer. Glitch sighed and smiled at the group, before answering rather quickly, "Well, due to an experiment that was requested by Her Majesty, I am going to have a child, heh. Now, if you'll excuse me." he started to stand and leave, when he heard a voice from behind him.

"Ambrose," the Queen called out, her tone a bit cold and very serious, making Glitch stop in his tracks, "Sit down." Glitch gulped, but got back in his seat. The group stared wildly at him as his fidgeted in his place and re-explained the experiment. When he finished, he let out a breath and he glanced up at the astounded assembly before him. Then, DG started laughing, surprising both Cain and Glitch.

"Why didn't you just say so when you came in?" she posed, leaning back in her chair.

Glitch shrugged and smiled a crooked grin, "I guess I was nervous." Cain smirked, crossing his arms, proud of himself for being right a.k.a. knowing that it wouldn't be a big deal.

"What's with him?" DG asked pointing her thumb in Cain's direction. Glitch sneered, punching Cain lightly in the arm, "He's just smug cause he's going to be a dad." Cain rolled his eyes.

"I already am a da-" Cain stopped, realizing something, "Oh shit… Jeb…"
