I am soooooooo sorry I haven't updated in AGES! I have a lot of things going on at the moment. I've got chores and school and work and I'm trying to write a book AND I have writers block. Ahhhhhh! This is just a filler chapter that I've been adding to VERY slowly.

Revenge of the Broken
Valencia
"Promise me you'll keep this, as a friend. Promise you won't tell my mum. Not yet." She looked down, starting to cry again. I put a reassuring hand on hers.
"Of course, Ella. I promise." She looked up at me again.
"I'm pregnant."
V POV
I just stared at her, eyes wide. I heard a faint sound somewhere in the house with my enhanced hearing, but I couldn't focus on that. "Claire? Claire? Are you okay? Just, just breathe, okay?"
I hadn't realised I was holding my breath. I inhaled unsteadily, still not taking my eyes off my sister. My pregnant sister.
"A-are you sure, honey?" I asked, taking her hands. "I mean, pregnancy tests can be faulty. Are you sure?" She nodded sadly.
"All three in the box said 'positive'." She pulled her hands out of mine and looked at nothing in particular. She looked deep in thought. I sighed.
"What are you going to do? Who's the father?" Ella jumped slightly at my voice. We'd been sitting in silence for what felt like forever.
She turned back to me, a hint of a smile on her face. "He's really nice, Claire. You'd like him. He was a friend of my half-sister. I told you about her, didn't I?" I nodded. On the outside I probably looked cool, calm and collected. Inside I felt like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, when her house was flying through the tornado.
"The one who disappeared? Her friend? Jeff, was it?" When Ella told me about Iggy, she'd used his fake name. She had no idea who I was. To her, I was Claire, a nice neighbour who was slightly older than her, living alone in her first house. In case your wondering, all my human employees lived at the lab too. I'm not the only one with my own bedroom. If anyone had to leave for any purposes, they left via the tunnel that led to the middle of the forest across from the house. Neat, huh?
"Yeah, him. I can't wait till you meet him, Claire. He's so nice, and funny. He's blind, though you can't tell half the time."
"Yeah, you told me that last time you talked of him. And the time before that. Basically every time you talk about him." I grinned, she blushed.
I heard a small thump coming from the kitchen, like someone softly hitting their head on the wall. I swore under my breath, too low for Ella to hear. Valencia (Sorry, Dr. Martinez. You tend to call people by their first names when they're your best friend) had come home. So that was the sound I heard after Ella told me she was pregnant. Val had come home.
"Your mum should be home soon. Are you going to tell her yet?" I prayed she wouldn't walk around the corner before- crap.
"Don't worry about telling me. I heard enough." I swear Ella jumped about a foot in the air. I flinched to make it seem like a surprise to me too.
"Ella? Can I talk to you?" Then she added to me, "Privately?" I nodded and walked into the kitchen. Normal humans wouldn't be able to hear them, but I could.
"Is it true?" I heard Val ask her daughter. There was a pause and I guessed that Ella nodded. Val sighed. "How long have you known?"
"Just this morning." Came Ella's reply. "Although I've had my suspicions for about a week."
I heard someone sigh. Most likely Val. "You know, a baby is a big responsibility." She sighed again. "I hear Iggy's the father. When did you say he was coming round?"
I listened closer. "In a couple of hours. Should I tell him today?" She sounded anxious.
"Yeah, I guess so." Many thoughts swirled around my head. Ella was pregnant. Iggy was the father. Iggy was supposed to be here soon. I'm going to have to make Iggy swear not to tell Ella about me. Shit.
"Hey," I called, walking into the room. "Uh, I've got an appointment. Can I come by later?" They nodded their heads and I was heading to the door.
I rushed into my house, locking the door. I got in the elevator and went down to the Flock's floor. I found Dean. "Dean, thank goodness. I need a room set up so that I can talk to one of the Flock. ASAP." He nodded and went to arrange it.
I walked to the monitoring room. I listened as the Flock talked over the pros and cons of staying.
After about half an hour, Dean came back in. "The room is ready Viper." I nodded.
"Thank you, Dean." I picked up the speaker. "Iggy, in a minute, someone will come in to escort you to a room. You and I are going to talk."
Okay, basic filler chapter. VERY fast pace. I know I'm getting VERY sloppy on my updating. But please forgive me.
Review, or not. Doesn't matter.
