Roxanne walked into the bedroom and saw Chase was still sleeping in bed. She sat next to him and gently shook him. He stirred but didn't wake. She watched him unsure of what they were going to do next. They were in her mom's house. Thats the only place Roxanne could think of where they could be safe. She stood up walking out the room and went into the kitchen where he mom was sitting at the table.

"Is he still sleeping?" She asked watching her daughter walk in.

Roxanne sat across from her. "Yeah, hes really tired." She stated. "I don't know what to do about anything." She said. "Chase can't just keep go on living without anything happening to him. And...where does that leave me?" She asked mostly to herself.

"Well I don't know how to help you. We can speak to the elders but they are going to want Chase to turn himself into the other witches and if that happens...well that could end badly." She stated. "I only want whats best for you."

"I'm scared." Roxanne admitted outloud to her mom.

"Listen to me, I can't tell you what to do but I believe the elders might show up here looking for you. They already know about your situation and if you're here when they show up then that might force you to turn Chase in." She said.

"Do you think so?" Roxanne asked unsure. Just then there was a knock at the door. Roxanne looked at her mom feeling worried.

"Just wait here and I'll answer it." She said squeezing her shoulder gently. Her mom walked out. Within a minute she walked back in followed by Caleb and the witch council. Roxanne looked at them unsure.

"Roxanne, we just needed to ask you a few questions." The head of the council asked, he was Pogue's father. He sat across from her at the table. "About Chase Collins, we know that you are friends with him." Roxanne nodded. Her mother didn't tell them anything else. "Do you know where Chase is right now?" He asked. Roxanne shook her head. "Are you sure?" He asked raising an eyebrow at her.

"I don't know where he is." Roxanne said trying to sound firm but her voice was still a little shaky.

"Well do you know where he might be?" He asked.

"I don't know where he could be." Roxanne lied. "I don't know why you're even asking me. Chase has other friends at school." She stated. "Why don't you ask Kate?" She asked raising her eyebrow realizing this could be used to her advantage. "She was always with him."

He turned looking at Caleb. Caleb looked at him unsure of what to say to him. "Well...I guess I have nothing more to ask." He stood up. He turned to Roxanne's mom. "Sorry I had to interrupt your morning." He said shaking her hand.

"It's not problem." She said forcing a smile. "If we hear anything about Chase we'll tell you." They walked out and Caleb followed. Roxanne turned to her mother. "You have to leave and soon." She said worry written all over her face.

"I know." Roxanne said. Just then Chase walked into the kitchen. Roxanne looked at him. "Are you feeling okay?" She asked.

"Yeah I'm fine." Chase said. "I heard everything...and I wanted to say thank you." He said looking at her mom. "I really appreciate it." He said.

"I only did it cause I know its what Roxanne wants." She said pursing her lips. She didn't approve of what Chase did but she wanted Roxanne to be safe and happy. She knew Chase would do anything to keep her completely safe. "What are you both going to do?" She asked.

"I already packed all my stuff back up." Chase said motioning to the suit case that was on the floor. "I already have somewhere that we can stay." He said.

"Okay." Roxanne said standing.


Roxanne shut the trunk of the car. Chase was already in the drivers seat. Roxanne walked and was about to open the passenger door when her mom stepped out the house. "I'm gonna miss you." She said walking over to her. She hugged her holding her for a second longer than she normally did. "Please let me know when you get somewhere safe." She ordered.

"I will mom." Roxanne promised. "I'm gonna miss you." She said feeling her eyes begin to water. She got into the car as Chase started it. Her mom walked back into the house and Chase pulled onto the road. They drove for a minute in silence.

Chase turned to her. "Don't worry, everything's going to be alright." He said grabbing her hand. "I promise." He said.

"I only want you to do one thing." She said looking at him. "You have to stop using." She said firmly.

"I know." Chase said sounding annoyed.

"No I mean it." Roxanne said. "Its whats best for us, all three of us." Roxanne said firmly. Chase turned facing her. He placed his hand over her stomach realizing that she was right. He had to do everything in his will to stop him from being addicted.

"I know." Chase said softly to himself. "I know what I have to do, and I promise I'm going to." Chase said firmly turning back towards the road.


Roxanne rolled over. Her back was killing her and she was more than tired. She had never imagined her life would end up like this but she wouldn't complain about it. She stood up, her belly sticking out further than it had the day before. It was growing faster than she imagined it would. She walked to the bathroom and took a quick shower. Then to the small kitchen.

Roxanne and Chase had managed to get out safely and were living in a small apartment above a restaurant Roxanne was waitressing at. Chase had a landed a job at a store a few blocks away. Neither of them had their dream jobs but they did what they had too. They were living in a small town that the witches of Ipswich wouldn't look for them and a place the elders felt was safe for Roxanne.

Even with the bad things Chase had done the Elders did what they could to protect Roxanne because she was a whitelighter.

When Roxanne walked out the bathroom Chase was already awake and getting dressed. "You're not gonna shower?" She asked unsure.

"I don't feel like it." Chase said shrugging as he put on his shoes. He wasn't happy and Roxanne knew it. Since he stopped using he had become moody and annoyed easily. He felt sick and tired most days. "I'll see you later." He said forcing a smile before walking out the door.

Roxanne dressed and then went down to work. Her coworker was already serving people when she walked in. "Hey love, you look exhausted." She said walking over to her. "I saw your little boyfriend leave, he never looks happy." She stated.

"Don't worry Jan, hes just a little stressed." Roxanne lied.

"Look honey, I'm not dumb. Its obvious whats wrong, two kids just land in town suddenly and you think no one is gonna notice?" She asked. "What was it?" She asked her voice lowering.

"What do you mean?" Roxanne asked confused.

"What drugs was her in to?" She asked. "The way that boy acts he is obviously recovering, you can't tell me hes not an addict." She stated.

"Yeah, you're right." Roxanne said relieved she didn't have to lie about Chase's behaviour. "Its hard to explain but hes not using anymore." She said smiling. "I know he isn't and thats why I love him." Roxanne said feeling her son move in her stomach.

"Well I can tell her loves you, even with his attitude, the look in his eyes when he sees you...its true love." Jan said shrugging. "I can always tell." She stated.

"Thanks." Roxanne said feeling better about her day now. She went to work then and worked the whole day. She didn't think about Caleb or the other sons. She didn't think about her Mother who was gonna be visiting soon. She didn't want to worry about any of that because all she cared about now was her and Chase and their son. She knew what Chase did was for them and now the way they were living was for them. Thats how things would always be.
