To every douchebag who predicted where my story was going to go and knew I was going to have Nathaniel get raped instead of Amber, SUCK MY BIG, FAT…popsicle! You all deserve one! Great minds think alike. Anyway, this chapter…I just can't…I had plans to move forward but I'm gonna give you all what you wanted. A lot of reviews and PMs I got asked for or mentioned a CERTAIN bad thing happening to Nathaniel so…yeah…I gotta write it now :D Anyways, I'm still gonna act on my plans so we'll see how this chapter goes. OMG I JUST REALIZED! THE SUMMARY OF THIS STORY DOES NOT MATCH THE STORY ITSELF! IT SEEMS LIKE AMBER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER! *Facepalm* I'll just have to change it again. I changed the summary to "Get Out" at least three times…what? Nobody noticed? Cool ^.^

Castiel had been right. Amber continued to get sick for suspicious reasons until Castiel looked her over and concluded that she was indeed, pregnant. Now that she was eight months pregnant, her stomach had grown large and she was always tired. Castiel tried to take care of her, but at times it was too much. She seemed miserable, but she always tried to hide it. One particular day, they'd been sitting on Castiel's back porch looking out at the lake that began at the end of his backyard. A gentle rain swept across the town, sweeping gently across the lake. It was so peaceful, Nathaniel was able to sleep on one of the lounge chairs by himself. The door to the house opened, and Castiel walked out, holding Amber up as she walked. She chose a chair, and he helped her back before taking his seat as she began to rub her bulging stomach. She was larger than normal, which worried Castiel, but she didn't seem to be in any extreme pain other than what was normal for a woman in her stage of pregnancy.

"You hungry?"
She sighed and nodded. She was hungry, hungry enough for two actually, but her sense of smell had been heightened and almost everything Castiel cooked made her sick.

"Anything in particular?"
"Can I have pickles with kool-aid (my mom started eating this when she was pregnant with me…it's actually pretty good. You slice the pickle and sprinkle koolaid with sugar over it…don't judge)."
Castiel gave her a worried smile before going back into the house. She looked over to Nathaniel, who'd awaken when he heard them come outside.

"Are you okay, hun?"
"Mmmhmm."
She closed her eyes and brought a hand to her lower back.

"Shit…my back is killing me."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"
She smiled. He was finally able to speak clear, long sentences and carry on a conversation. He could walk easily and now went for morning jogs with Castiel. Soon enough he would be able to full on sprint and he was able to bathe himself. For the most part, he was independent again. He read complicated books instead of having Amber read them to him, and was even beginning to be put in regular classes again to learn alongside Amber and his old friends. Unfortunately, Amber was running low on friends, not because she'd done anything wrong, but because she was pregnant. Li and Charlotte took her far away and told her they couldn't be seen with her anymore. Apparently her being pregnant made them look bad; she was a big "fatty" as they so delicately put it. They couldn't get good male attention with her around, so they dropped her from the group. Oh well. She didn't need people like that in her life anyway.

"It can't be helped."
"Oh…"
Castiel returned with Amber's pickles and handed them to her before pulling chair up in front of her and taking his seat. He rubbed her feet while she ate. Nathaniel slowly fell back into a deep sleep, leaving the two to chat. Castiel looked up at Amber, who tried to massage her lower back.

"What's on your mind?"
She sighed.

"I'm really scared Cas. I don't want to be pregnant…let alone by HIM."
Unfortunately, she was pregnant by her father. Castiel stayed by her side the entire pregnancy, and had decided that he would stay with her to help raise the child. She'd decided to keep it, anyhow, and Castiel didn't love her any less for it. She was about to answer when a pain in her ribs interrupted her.

"Dammit!"
"What?!"
"It just kicked."
She took Castiel's hand in hers and placed it on her stomach. He smiled in amusement when he felt the movements.
"Looks like it's doing well."
She sighed and laid back in the chair.

"It's so heavy."
"It looks heavy."
He went back to massaging her feet.

"He hasn't been bothering you lately has he?"
She looked over to Nathaniel.

"No…but the principal pulled me out of class to get Nathaniel out of the boys bathroom yesterday."
"What happened?"
"Our dad came to the school and signed to check Nathaniel out but he jumped on him when he got to the car outside. Apparently, he told Nathaniel I told him to come pick him up from school because of his doctor's appointment."
"How did he get to the boys bathroom?"
"Our dad took him outside of the school for four hours before he came running…well…more like jogging… back in. He hid in the boys bathroom and wouldn't come out until I came in to get him. He wouldn't tell me what happened when he was outside."
"What did you do?"
"I just told him that from now on, never trust our dad."
"Good."
Nathaniel suddenly jumped up and looked around. Castiel called him.

"Nathaniel? Are you okay, bro?"
Nathaniel looked over to Castiel before nervously nodding and rushing into the house. Castiel looked over to Amber.

"Relax for a second, babe. I'll be right back."
"Okay."
He walked into the house, following the sounds of shaky breathing until he got to Nathaniel's room. The blonde was sitting at the foot of his bed by the window with his arms wrapped around his legs. He rocked back and forth watching the rain hit his window. Castiel sat next to him.

"What's wrong?"
Nathaniel shook his head. Castiel wrapped an arm around his shoulder.

"Something's bothering you, Nat."
Nathaniel paused like he wanted to say something, but decided against it to continue rocking. He began to hum to himself to try to calm himself, but it was not working. He bit his lip and continued to hum, squinching his eyes to fight back tears that began to spill.

"Talk to me, Nat."
Nathaniel did not respond. They sat in silence for a while before Castiel decided to go back to Amber. Just as he stood to leave, Nathaniel spoke again.

"Wait!"
Castiel stopped and turned back to face him.

"Don't leave…please…"
"I have to bring your sister back in. I'll be back in a minute if you want to talk, okay?"
"Okay."
Nathaniel's voice cracked. Castiel returned to find Amber dozing off on the patio.

"I'll take you to bed, baby."
She gave him a sleepy smile before he took her hands in his and pulled her to her feet. He helped her into the house and up the stairs to their bed. She waddled around to her side before he helped her up onto the mattress, placing a pillow under her head as she laid across the bed. He gave her a thin blanket and gently kissed her before going back to Nathaniel's room.

Castiel sat on the floor next to Nathaniel and looked over to him. Nathaniel looked pained, and was rocking a little bit faster than before. Castiel was about to question him again when Nathaniel exhaled.

"Why did he hurt me, Cas?"
"Who?"
"Our dad…keeps…hurting me. I don't want to go back to school cuz he just…stays around there and…waits for me to…be alone. He said he would kill me if he couldn't get Amber…but I don't want him to…get her."
"How did he hurt you?"
"He…"
Nathaniel closed his eyes as painful memories resurfaced.

The trunk door slammed shut, hitting Nathaniel's head with blunt force hard enough to daze him. It did not open for some time until after a long bumpy ride far away. When it opened, he was blinded by a light. Hands reached out to grab him and soon he was being dragged into a house. He was thrown into a large room with nothing other than a bed and a pile of rope. Voices outside quickly gave commands before the door opened and he was face to face with a very, VERY large man. Within seconds, he was pinned down and tied to the bed. The man stood over him, admiring his work.

"Your dad sold you to me for a pretty penny, kid."
Nathaniel struggled in his restraints.

"Said I could do whatever I wanted with you."
The man got on top of Nathaniel, and the blonde felt the air being crushed from his lungs under the muscular man's weight. He whimpered, and the man leaned down to kiss his forehead.

"Shh…don't worry. I ain't gonna hurt you…much…if you do what I say."
"Please let me go…"
The man smiled and removed Nathaniel's clothes. He tried to pull away, but he was not nearly strong enough to stay away from the man, and was easily held tightly.

"Are you stupid or something? You keep trying to fight but it isn't gonna work."
The man spread Nathaniel's legs but Nathaniel tried to close them back.

"Nooooooooo!"
"You're mine now."
The man put Nathaniel on his stomach and undressed. By now Nathaniel was trying to get out of bed, but once again, the man held him down.

"Stoooppp iiiiit!"
"SHUT UP!"
"Ahhh!"
He let out a moan of pleasure as he forced himself into Nathaniel's entrance. The boy gripped the sheets and wailed for mercy until he felt the man pull back out. Nathaniel struggled to catch his breath, which was even more of a turn on for the man behind him. Within seconds, Nathaniel was pinned down by his wrists as the man forcefully kissed him.

"No…stop…"
"I'm gonna make you mine tonight."
"NOOO!"
Castiel rubbed Nathaniel's back as he finished telling his story.

Nathaniel woke up in the school courtyard to see a tall boy with green eyes and matching hair crouched down over him with a worried look on his face.

"H-hey! Are you okay?"

Nathaniel jumped up, only then realizing that his clothes were torn. A heavy pain informed him of the bruises on his arms and sides, and a stinging one alerted him of his bleeding lip. He stumbled when he moved, and when the green haired boy went to catch him, he hurried off to the bathroom. Nathaniel locked himself in a stall until the principal sent Amber to get him.

"Nath?! Are you okay, hun?! What happened?!"
He only wept in response. She sighed and embraced him.

"You don't have to tell me just yet if you are uncomfortable. Just come with me. I'll take you home."
She helped him to his feet, but just as they turned to leave the stall, he saw the principal standing behind her. He stopped and backed into the stall. Amber caught his stare and turned around.

"I think he's nervous right now. I'll take him home. Don't worry about it."
The woman gave him a worried look before nodding and walking out of the restroom. She held his hand and walked him outside to her/ his old car. As soon as they got home, she ran him a bath and checked him for injuries before helping him clean himself. He'd remained in bed for two days, just now coming out to sit in the back yard.

Castiel had recently gone shopping with his best friend, Lysander (who really just dragged him along, picking out clothes for him) and was now using one of the many handkerchiefs Lysander had bought him to wipe away Nathaniel's tears.

"He won't get you again, okay? You're safe here.
Nathaniel nodded as Castiel finished wiping his tears. He gave Nathaniel the handkerchief before taking one of his hands in his.

"Don't be afraid of him, alright. If you can't help it, be brave. It's alright to be afraid, but don't let it stop you from living."
Nathaniel nodded. They talked a bit more until he felt better before Castiel gave him a pat on the back and went back to join Amber in the bedroom.

A month passed and Amber was much larger than she'd been before. Her belly had grown so large she was unable to move on her own. She was out of school with constant visits from social workers trying to figure out her living situation and pregnancy. Castiel made sure she ate healthy and she spent a large percentage of her time reading books with Nathaniel. They'd already bought a crib and bottles. Seeing as Castiel was a doctor, Amber told him she wanted to give birth at home. Castiel would deliver.

She'd been laying on the bed, watching television with Nathaniel for a while one particular day. Speaking of Nathaniel, he'd surprised her by exceeding the doctor's expectations after his accident. She'd been partially discouraged when she was told he'd changed and would have to learn his skills over again, but now he was almost back to his old self. He read difficult novels and had a large vocabulary, larger than Ambers as a matter of fact, and was out of Special Ed classes in school. He'd returned to his advanced classes and was still in line to be valedictorian. Amber and Castiel didn't have to worry about him getting hurt nearly as much because his physical condition had improved. Now he not only was able to run, but he was able to do front flips, backflips, and cartwheels all over the lawn. He was often scolded by Amber when he would jump down the stairs in the house. Now that she was eight months pregnant, she was able to laugh about his reaction when he found out. Apparently he'd thought she was just gaining weight, but when she told him she was pregnant he went wide-eyed and jaw dropped.

"Really?!"
"Yeah. There's a baby in here."
Nathaniel put his hands to her stomach and rubbed it for a while before holding his ear to it.

"Hello," he began to speak to the baby. "IS IT DARK IN THERE?!"
"Ahh…"
She brought a hand to her stomach. The baby had been kicking a lot lately, and it felt like her ribs were about to fall off. Castiel heard her cry and came in to check on her. After looking her over, he concluded the baby had kicked her ribs.

"Just lay back. One more month to go."
"Ugh…I know…"

Three weeks later, Amber and Castiel were in bed asleep when they heard a loud bang at the front door. Castiel looked over to her.

"Did you hear that?"
"Yeah-"
"Stay here. I'll go check it out."
He reached over to his nightstand and grabbed the pistol he always kept loaded before slowly making his way out into the hallway.

BAM!
"What the hell?!" he whispered to himself.
He made it downstairs and turned to go towards the front door when he saw a shadow in the curtains. Someone was on the porch. That much was clear. He took a deep breath before looking through the peephole.

He gasped.

Nothing major. Just the stranger looking right back at him. The man smirked before pulling his weapon. Before Castiel could blink, the man took aim and fired a shotgun round through the door.

Upstairs in bed, Amber jumped when she heard the gunshot. She strained to sit up and eased to her feet before grabbing her pepper spray (she refused to carry a gun like Castiel asked her to, and forgot to keep her stun gun charged, so Castiel managed to get her to at least keep pepper spray with her) and inching out into the hallway. It was pitch black at night, and her stomach made maneuvering much harder than usual. She was halfway down the stairs when she heard a noise in the kitchen. Amber brought a hand to her mouth, doing her best to muffle her breathing as not to alert the stranger of her presence. No sooner than she turned the corner to the front door, a scream escaped her lips when she saw Castiel laying on the ground with a hand on his stomach. Blood gushed from the wound, which was only one of many more. The bullets had scattered, hitting Castiel two and a half (one grazed him) times. He shakily tried to sit up to say something to Amber.

"A-Amber…turn a-"
He burst into a fit of coughs before blood filled his mouth, running from the corners. Amber hugged him.

"I'll call you an ambulance!"
By now, she'd completely forgotten about the intruder, and was only focused on Castiel. He coughed a few more times before squeezing out two words.

"Turn…around!"
"Huh-"
She barely had time to turn her head before her father held the cloth over her face, sending her into an unconscious state. Even then she could only worry, because as she closed her eyes she heard her father scream and the last thing she saw before passing out was Nathaniel jumping onto the man's back and viciously shanking him. The gun went off two times before all was quiet.

SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO UPLOAD BUT I AM ABOUT TO START THE NEW STORY! IT WILL BE A FUNNEH ONE! :D I already have my idea ^.^
