The clock ticked, and Raven shot a frantic look at the clock. Her legs jittered, her hands laying flat on her lap. Raven was trying not to put her hand on her stomach. Her heart was beating fast, slowing momentarily with every deep breath Raven took.

Billy walked down the stairs and stopped. "Raven, you look pale." Raven looked at Billy for a moment, and then looked away. Raven could hear the smirk in Billy's voice. "Calm down, I don't know why you're nervous. Your boyfriend should be nervous; he's meeting Mom and Dad." Raven bit her lip.

"Uhm, yeah, you're right." Raven spoke, shocked at how rough her voice sounded. Billy laughed and went off into the kitchen. Raven slumped in her seat, her eyes closed shut against the tears that were about to fall, in fear, desolateness, and mostly, anger.

Raven was tired of feeling like this. This could be the only obstacle in this particular event of her life, her parents. After, Raven could be homeschooled. Nobody had to know…they could believe she was sick or something. And she could come after the baby was born…

Before Raven could fall into a slumber, the doorbell rang, and Raven shot up. She didn't have to look anywhere to know it couldn't be Alexander, it was too bright in the room, her own shadows proved that it the sun was still out, even if it was nearing evening.

She got up slowly and walked to the door. Her hands paused on the door knob. She opened the door – to find Trevor outside. She stared at him in shock, before leaning against the doorframe. The room began to spin for a moment, and Raven got that familiar feeling of throwing up again. Before she could actually gain a standing, she felt firm arms around her and felt the ground beneath her disappear. Raven closed her eyes, welcoming the absent feeling of nausea. She felt her head gently press against the pillows and she opened her eyes once more, to find Trevor over her, holding her arm.

"Trevor, what are you doing here?" she croaked once. She watched as his hand let go of hers and she left. She heard his deep voice talk to her brother's slightly higher pubescent voice. She slowly sat up, still as ever confused. She looked over and saw him walking towards her, a glass of water in his hand. He crouched in front of her, lifting the glass to her lips. "Drink." He commanded, and Raven did.

"What are you doing here?" she asked again, the glass empty and her voice clearer.

"I figured your family would need some human support." Trevor's voice was dead. Raven blinked, then let out a sound of disbelief. "Trevor, go away! You .. no, just go away! Go home!" Raven ran her fingers through her hair. Trevor grabbed her hand and leaned towards her, making Raven lean back.

"No." He spoke with emotion this time, anger in his voice. Raven shrank back, scared of the sudden change in behavior. Trevor assessed her face, then spoke softer this time. "Raven…" He moved even closer. Raven moved her head, "Trevor, what are you doing? Go away – ugh!" Before Raven could do anything, Trevor grabbed her face and moved it towards her. His touch on her was soft yet strong. Very slowly, he pressed his lips against her. Raven felt a surge of anger, and she kicked him in the leg. Automatically, the pressure from her arm, face and lips disappeared.

Before Raven could look up, she heard a loud slapping noise. She looked up to find Trevor's head down, and Becky's hand raised.

"Becky!" Raven claimed. Becky apparently did not hear, for she started to yell at Trevor.

"What the hell is your problem?" Trevor's head snapped up.

"What are you doing here?" Trevor snapped back.

"You guys, stop .. stop.." Raven groaned, rubbing her face, feeling a slight pinch of anger but mostly uncontrolled.

Becky quickly sat by Raven, pushing back her hair from her face, her arm around her shoulders. Trevor stood there.

"We both know that Raven's boyfriend isn't human." Becky felt Raven flinch, and held her tighter.

"So? I don't care." Becky retorted.

Trevor smirked. "Yeah, well guess what? He's a vampire? What do vampires eat?" Becky felt herself snap inside, and whipped her head to the right, looking at Raven's neck.

"Besides, the big news is today, right? I'm here for her family, as human support." Trevor placed extra emphasis on the word human.

Raven looked at Trevor as soon as she looked up. "Why the kiss?" she demanded. And all the bravado slipped off of Trevor's face.

"You know, I've always liked you for a long time." Trevor spoke to the ceiling.

"I know." There was no difference in Raven's voice.

"I-" Trevor looked at Raven as Billy jumped into the living room.

"Guess what? Dad, Mom, and Raven, your boyfriend and his parents, they all came together! They're here!"


you guys hate me, huh?
