Hi! Here's another chappie!
Kimberly came back days later with their mother in tow. When Xia-Xia saw Isabel, she ran up and hugged her.
Isabel sighed and stared at her slowly bloating stomach.
Xia-Xia shook her head. "You're pregnant..." she said sadly.
Isabel nodded before bursting into tears. "Mom!" she cried. "I'm... I'm so sorry!" she sobbed. "It wasn't my fault!.. I was-I was raped.." she collasped into her mother's arms.
Xia-Xia's face hardened. "Who did this to you?" she asked.
Isabel looked up. "It was... It was... Tai Lung..." she looked away.
Xia-Xia looked past her to her sisters and Wendy nodded. "He raped all of us." Wendy confirmed.
"So.. You're all..."
Wendy shook her head. "Just her."
Xia-Xia held Isabel close. "Oh, sweetheart... I'm sorry."
Isabel cried in her arms for a long while.
Xia-Xia sat next to Isabel, who was lounging on the couch. She held Isabel in her arms for a long while.
"Mom..." Isabel whispered. "I'm sorry."
Xia-Xia shook her head. "It's not your fault." she replied. "Tai Lung is the one that is going to pay for this."
Isabel shook her head. "The first time, I had wanted it... The second time, he really raped me. I feel so ashamed and used. And guilty because I liked it..."
Xia-Xia smiled. "Haven't you ever wondered why you haven't met your father?" she asked. "It's because he raped me, too. And you know what, once he got far enough, I had actually liked it."
Isabel looked away. "It's my fault Kimberly and Wendy got raped, too. I didn't know he was going to..." she trailed off.
Xia-Xia just held her.
Kimberly sat with Wendy in the kitchen while Xia-Xia comforted Isabel in the other room.
Kimberly hung her head. "This is our fault, isn't it?" she asked sadly.
Wendy nodded. "We need to apologize to Iz." she said decidedly. She got up and took Kimberly with her. They both stalked into the living room.
"Iz, we're so sorry for getting mad at you. We know it's not your fault."
Isabel looked up at them. "It's my fault." she said. "I shouldn't have said what I said."
Wendy shook her head. "If you hadn't, you'd be dead right now." she hugged Isabel and smiled. "I'm sorry." she whispered.
R&R!
