A/N: Well this chapter kind of flooded out of me after I finished the last chapters to Too Late, Should've Said No and Take Me Under (final chapters will be posted over the next few days). I decided that I needed to keep things going and try and finish as many of these stories as I can! :)

So here's the next chapter, I think it's a pretty emotional one... and it gave me a head ache just reading over it! :) (but in a good way)


Chapter 10

She had been lying in her bed thinking all night; she had lied to Caleb. She had lied and pinking promised him, she had never lied to Caleb like that before. She had never sworn that she was telling the truth, and lied, and she even pinky promised him!

The though made her stomach squirm and she forced her eyes shut. She was having a hard time getting to sleep and she just wanted to be with someone. She wanted to feel comforted, which was exactly the opposite of how she was feeling.

"You rang?" A low voice came from behind her.

Caitlin snapped up and stared, startled at the figure in the shadows. She scooted back in to her pillows as the person stepped in to the light; she relaxed seeing the creepy blonde boy.

"You're a jerk, you know that…" She whispered settling herself back in to her covers.

"So I've been told, but I heard you…" He smiled and took a seat on her bed.

"What are you talking about?" She asked confused.

"You wanted to be comforted; you wanted someone to come here…" He stated pursing his lips together, "Am I right?"

"Would you get out of my head!" She yelled slapping his arm. "You shouldn't be using," She scolded.

"I just wanted to see what you were doing, I couldn't sleep…" Reid admitted.

She sighed and scooted over patting the side of the bed next to her. Reid changed positions and laid down, propping himself up on his elbow, "Me either," She whispered her reply.

"What's on your mind?"

"I lied to Caleb," She muttered. "And I pinky promised him…"

"What?" Reid laughed.

She shoved him, "This is serious… I've never lied to Caleb… not like this…" She shook her head. Her face distorted angrily and Reid brushed his thumb over her cheek.

"It's ok, we'll explain everything to him soon," He whispered back to her in a comforting tone. "Everything will be fine…"

"Are you sure?" She asked, her voice shaking.

Reid's heart felt a slight tug, she reminded him of a little kid; one that as lost and was trying to find someone to love them. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her temple, "I promise you… Caity everything will be ok…"

They had been so wrapped up in their conversation that they hadn't heard the door open, until it was too late. Caleb stared at the sight before him, his words caught in his throat for a brief minute as he watched Reid place a comforting kiss on his sister's temple.

"What the hell is going on here?" He had finally found his voice after a few brief seconds.

"Caleb!" Caitlin's tone was loud as she jumped out of Reid's arms and stared at her brother in shock.

"Caleb, I can explain…" Reid stated as he held up his hands in a defensive manner.

"It's not what it looks like…" Caitlin started to say, she bit her lip and her brother interrupted her.

"That's what they all say, and then it turns out it is exactly what it looks like…" Caleb slammed the door to encase the noise they were making in just her room. "How could you do this to Tyler?" He shook his head looking directly at Caitlin. "And you, you're supposed to be his best friend!"

"Caleb, seriously… nothing is going on between me and Caity…" Reid shook his head as he got off of the bed and walked towards him.

"Then do you mind telling me what the hell this is about?" He asked.

Reid looked over at Caitlin who had tears forming in her eyes, he sighed and summoned the power, and making Caleb even more pissed off. But as he did something materialized in his hand. Caleb snatched it from the boy and stared at it.

"What is this?" He asked staring at the white thing in his hand, which had a blue plus sign on it. He had a good idea what it was but he wanted to hear it from them.

"It's a pregnancy test…" Caitlin stated barely above a whisper.

Caleb stared at her for a minute, and then over at Reid and back down at the test. He felt so many mixed emotions he didn't know which to let out first, "How the hell did this happen?"

"Well," Reid started, he had the look on his face like he was going to say something sarcastic, but seeing the glare coming from both of the Danvers' twins he decided against it. " At my party," Reid answered rubbing his hand over his face.

"You took advantage of my sister and got her pregnant?!" Caleb was even more pissed off now.

"No, no…" Reid shook his head, "I didn't take advantage of her…." He pressed offended by Caleb's words. "I wouldn't do that to Caity," he looked over at the girl who had her arms wrapped around her stomach, and a miserable look on her face. "Hell, I have more respect for women than to do something like that…"

Caleb was going to say something, his mouth open his finger pointing out at them when Caitlin spoke, "We were both really drunk," She whispered. "Things go out of hand and we ended up sleeping together," She felt a wave of nausea crash over her as she ran in to the bathroom.

Reid looked from the bathroom to Caleb and walked in feeling terrible as Caitlin started throwing up in to the porcelain bowl. He took a seat on the edge of the tub, and rubbed her back as Caleb appeared in the doorway.

"How could you be so stupid?" His words came through his clenched teeth cold and hard.

A new round of tears escaped her eyes as she started sobbing, Reid tossed a glare at Caleb for making her more upset, and for being so goddamned insensitive. He grabbed a facecloth from the tub and got it wet, placing it on her forehead.

"I don't know…" She mumbled resting her forehead on the toilet seat. "It's not like we planned this… we-we didn't think anything of it… we brushed it off…" She her eyes lifted up to meet her brother's gaze.

She looked back down wishing she hadn't looked up in the first place. She could see the anger, the pain, the disappointment, and the betrayal in her brother's eyes and it killed her. She wrapped her arms around her stomach and felt another round of sobs coming.

"I-I didn't think anything was wrong until I missed my second period…" She leaned back forcing her eyes to shut.

"This is completely irresponsible…" Caleb stomped his foot as he yelled at her. "I can't believe you Caitlin…" He shook his head. "Not only this… but…" He set his jaw. "You lied to me… you fucking lied to me…"

Caleb left her room, slamming the door shut behind him. Caitlin felt her entire world shatter as the door slammed. She felt sick to her stomach, and leaned forward, sobs escaping her lips, Reid looked at her nervously. He had always been terrible around emotional women.

He gave her a pat on the back and tried to quiet her down, tried to get her to calm down. He forced her back in to a sitting position, and brushed her hair out of her face. Instinctively he pulled her closer to him in a tight hug, letting her rest her head against his chest.

"It'll be ok…" He whispered to her over and over again until she was finally asleep.

Reid skillfully picked her up bridal style and placed her in her bed. He gave her a small kiss on the forehead before he summoned the Power and materialized back in his room. He glanced over at his roommates sleeping form and felt his insides wrench.

He knew no matter what happened, it was not going to be good.

The annoying sound of her alarm going of woke her up at six AM sharp. Groaning she rolled on to her back and slammed a tan hand down on to the loud piece of technology. She rubbed her face with her hands and wished that the night before had been nothing but a terrible dream.

Her stomach started rumbling, as if a sign for her to stop dreaming and wake up to reality. She pushed the covers off of her and looked back at it. How had she gotten there last night? She didn't even remember falling asleep. She shook her head and walked down the hallway, from where she stood she could see Caleb lounging on the couch, reading a book and drinking coffee.

She treaded lazily down the stairs and felt his eyes upon her; he didn't say a word to her but diverted his gaze back to his rather thick book. Groaning internally she noticed her mother in the kitchen; she took a deep breath and walked in to the large kitchen, knowing that she had to tell her mother.

Her mother looked up from pouring herself a cup of tea and gave her a small smile, "Would you like a cup of tea, Caitlin?"

"Yes, that would be nice," She smiled shortly taking a seat at the island. "Mother," She started, watching her mother go to the cupboard and get another cup. Evelyn looked over at her daughter, her eyes piercing in to her own.

"Yes dear?" She asked calmly, setting the cup on an empty saucer.

"I need to talk to you about something," She all but whispered.

"Would this have to do with why Caleb's been brooding all morning?" Evelyn's eyebrows arched in question.

"Well, yes…"

"What is it?" Evelyn asked handing her daughter the freshly made cup of tea.

"Mother," She couldn't even look her mother in the eye. Evelyn had a feeling in the pit of her stomach, and she hoped it was wrong, dead wrong… but she could feel it… and it was strong. "I'm pregnant…"

Evelyn's grip on her cup slipped and the tea spilled all over the place, the cup and saucer crashing to the slated floor, crashing and breaking, Evelyn's hands flew to her mouth as she took in a sharp breath, "Mom, are you ok?" The sound of him rising to his feet could be heard.

Evelyn dropped her hands to the counter, holding on to it tightly, "F-Fine, Caleb I'm fine…" She stated in a strong, shaky tone. She looked up at her daughter, hazel eyes meeting brown eyes. "Caitlin," She said her daughters name softly, yet sternly. "How could this happen?" She asked. "How could you be so irresponsible?" She wasn't letting Caitlin get in a word edge-wise. "And Tyler, Tyler of all people… I thought he would be smart enough to…."

"Mother," She caught her mother's attention before she could finish, "It's not Tyler's…"

Evelyn's eyes grew wide with absolute shock, "WHAT?" Caitlin gave her mother a hurt look as she looked down at her cup of tea, "If it's not Tyler's… then whose is it?" She asked in a rushed tone.

Caitlin felt her throat run dry as she took a sip of her tea, her hand shaking, she set the porcelain back on the saucer and looked up slightly, "Reid's…" She answered barely above a whisper.

"Reid's?" Her mother all but shouted. "Reid? As in Reid Garwin?" Her mother's eyes were staring her down.

"Yes, Reid Garwin," She groaned inwardly.

Evelyn fell back in to a chair and stared over at her daughter with a dull look on her face, "How could you do this?" Her tone was harsh. "First you dress… like some hooligan…" She sighed and flicked her wrist at her daughter, "Your procrastinate with everything that you do…" Her voice dripped with cynicism. "You date one of the Sons of Ipswich against your brother and my requests…" Her voice rose as she did and she pointed to her daughter, "And now… now you're pregnant with perhaps the next bloodline of the Covenant?"

Caitlin's face was now streaking with tears as she looked at her mother, more hurt than she had ever been. Evelyn narrowed her eyes at her daughter and leaned on the counter for support.

"Why couldn't you be more like your brother…" She breathed trying to calm down.

Caitlin had, had enough, "More like Caleb?" She laughed bitterly. "The one person that everyone here in Ipswich absolutely adores and loves… the same perfect brother that I've had for eighteen years…" Her eyes turned to slits as she stared her mother down, coming just a bit closer to her. "You've always loved him more…" Caitlin cried, she had always felt that way. Evelyn has always shown more attention to Caleb, than she had for Caitlin. "You never cared about me, why?" Caitlin glared at her mother angrily.

"Caitlin," Evelyn's look softened as she looked at her daughter, she didn't know that her daughter had felt this way. She felt her nose sting, her eyes water as Caitlin looked at her through bloodshot, tired eyes.

"What the hell did I ever do to you to make you hate me so much?"

"Caitlin, I don't hate you…." Evelyn reached out to touch her daughter's face, but Caitlin took a step back from her. "I love you just as much as I love Caleb…"

"You sure have a funny way of showing it, mother…" Caitlin stormed out of the kitchen and Evelyn ran after her, grabbing her elbow in the middle of the living room.

"Caitlin," Evelyn's hard look was completely washed from her features now; her brow was knit with confusion and her eyes showing her displeasure with the situation.

"No, you know what," Caitlin looked at her mother harshly. "I'm glad I'm eighteen! I'm glad that I'm old enough to be done with this house, be done with you… to be done with this family!" She yelled angrily holding her stomach.

"Caitlin, you don't mean that…" Evelyn stated looking at her daughter and then over at her son who was now standing there a look on his face that Evelyn hadn't quite seen before.

"I do, I mean every word. I'm always compared to him," She pointed her finger sharply at Caleb who looked shocked at what she was saying. "That's the only person you ever cared about, so why do you care what I do?" She glared at her mother whose mouth was hanging open now. "I'm sorry that I act like my father." Tears continued to slip down her cheeks. "I apologize for not being as perfect as Caleb…" Caleb opened his mouth to object but she shot him a glare. "And I'm sorry that I got drunk one night, like many other teen girls, and slept with one of my best friends and got pregnant…" She had snapped, and that was very apparent. "I'm sorry that I'm even here talking to you right now…"

Without another word Caitlin ran up stairs to her room, slamming the door shut behind her.
