Chapter: 12

Tori never made the call to Liam or went to confront William. She instead rushed home where she paced and paced and paced. Sirius followed her, whining as if sensing her fear and anxiety. She bit her lip so much it actually hurt, threading her fingers through her hair, bumping into things to make sure she hadn't imagined the brief flash of pain from the rooftop. It occurred to her that if she had just jumped off the roof to the pavement below she wouldn't have noticed the pain…or maybe she would if she'd been careless in her landing as she sometimes was when it didn't matter. Only now it seemed to matter. She needed to call someone, she needed to tell someone…she needed to figure this out, she needed answers…she needed Jason. But he was on patrol…his phone was off and if she tried through the comms and everyone heard the panic in her voice they'd all know and she didn't want that…not yet…not until she knew what it meant.

She collapsed on the couch. Actually exhausted from running all the way back home. She did it but she could feel the stitches in her side as she ran, the burning of lactic acid in her arms and legs even though she ran through it all. Something was wrong with her, something was terribly wrong. What next? Would she die and stay dead? Was it possible for Electrum to just stop working…did she have to go back and get a fix just to be herself again…would she become a corpse again if she didn't? Was this all the Court's plan to get her back with them? Did they know? Was this what was actually happening. Tori shook her head and lay down, she needed to silence her head or she'd go mad. Sirius jumped up onto the couch and nosed his way under her arm. She threaded her fingers through his thick coat and let her tears wet the couch pillow as she waited for Jason to come home.

A hand gently shook her shoulder and Tori groaned feebly and tried to turn away from whoever was trying to wake her,

"Toria, c'mon wake up. That can't be comfortable," Jason's voice stated. Tori felt a sleepy smile form on her face as she turned to face him,

"Tired," she mumbled,

"You and everyone else, it was a busy night. Bruce is pissed you missed patrol," Jason added, Tori's eyes snapped open and everything came back. Meeting with Cameron and everything after played through her mind as she bolted straight up and grabbed Jason's arms,

"Whoa! Tori what're you—," he trailed off when he saw her face, "What's wrong. Is it Cameron?"

"No. Cameron's fine," Tori said almost to fast,

"Then what—," Tori didn't let him finish, she shoved her hand in front of his face, "What are you—?"

"It's a cut Jason," Tori stated,

"Yes. I can see that,"

"It's a cut Jason," she said again, "and it hasn't healed," Jason took her hand and studied it intently. Running his finger over it, a deep frown marring his features,

"I don't understand…" he said, trailing off as if unable to think of anything to say,

"Why is this happening…am…am I not a Talon anymore? Does this stuff run out?"

"I don't know Toria, but—,"

"—I mean…if that's what's happening…then…then am I dying Jason? Am I dying?" the words were tumbling out so fast, her head was spinning at the prospect of all this happening at once. Why it was happening was one thing but if it meant that she was reverting to what she'd been before Electrum…which was a corpse…then she was not okay with that and she was deeply terrified,

"No. No!" Jason growled, gripping her arms tightly as if to ground her to the physical plane of existence, "You are not dying. That is not what's happening. I refuse to believe that,"

"But what if that's happening. What if the only way for me not to die is to go back to them…what if they knew. What if that was their plan all along," Tori could feel tears forming, tears of fear and sadness at what that meant,

"No. You are not going back there. They'll kill you," Jason said roughly, "We'll talk to Dr. Leslie or Barbara or Danbury…they'll know what's happening. They'll—," Tori didn't hear him. Her stomach turned and she clapped a hand over her mouth and darted to the nearby bathroom. Jason ran in after her and pulled back her hair for her as she yet again hurled up her insides. She felt awful, she'd never experience this much discomfort before…at least recently before. Maybe when she was younger…maybe before she lost her memories. But any bit of discomfort aligned with illness had been nonexistent up until this point. Was she sick? Was this happening because she was out of Electrum…was that how it worked. Her thoughts tumbled helplessly around her head as she stood and faced Jason, who looked equally stunned and who did have a glimmer of worry in his eyes. She hated to see that. She wanted to make everything better…but this was beyond her control,

"There's a toothbrush under the sink," Jason said finally, "To get the taste out," Tori nodded and knelt to open the cabinet to see what was inside. She found the toothbrush, still in the packaging, but something else as well. Something she'd bought long before Danbury had come to break the news about her and children. Tori blinked at it,

"How long has it been since we went on vacation?" she asked,

"Um…I don't know, almost three weeks?" Jason said. Tori nearly laughed. She almost laughed at the irony,

"I don't think I'm dying," she said, "I don't think it has anything to do with that. Quite the opposite really," she stood up holding the toothbrush and the other box she had found. Jason stared at her for a second before responding with a very intelligent,

"Oh?"

"Might not…he did only say might not," she whispered, opening the box,

"I'd rather this than anything else," Jason said stepping behind her and rubbing her shoulders comfortingly, "C'mon, go pee on a stick," Tori glared at him before shoving him out of the bathroom,

"Hey! I have a right to see it!"

"Not for three minutes you don't!" she called back to him, grinning despite herself. Afterwards she stood outside the door with Jason, she couldn't bear to see it first…not when it could be negative and everything be suddenly much more serious than the serious aspect of a positive result. Jason was shaking his leg out of impatience while Tori soundlessly bit her lip in deep thought,

"It's cruel to make everyone wait so long," Jason muttered, scratching Sirius behind the ears as the little wolf passed by, deftly dodging the little nip the pup tried to pull off. Tori didn't say anything just looked at the clock again, as the minutes slowly slipped by,

"It would explain a lot," Jason added, "You've been so tired lately…and you've been getting sick,"

"I thought it was from chocolate…and bad tuna," she said, "I never thought or considered it," she shook her head and looked at the clock again before moving to open the door,

"This is a bit overdramatic…a second ago you thought you were dying and now you think you're pregnant," Jason muttered and she lightly shoved him in the arm as they both stepped inside to see a clear plus sign waiting for them,

"Oh my God," Tori said, "Oh my God…I'm…I'm pregnant. I'm actually pregnant," it was surreal. It sometimes happened this way. People are told it's impossible, that it was unlikely…and then it happens. But the actuality of it happening is rare…and yet…there they were. Jason's arms were around her in an instant, his head buried in her neck and all she could hear was,

"Thank God…I don't know what I'd do if I lost you again," muttered over and over. Tori chuckled lightly and with relief as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders,

"You were just the one saying I was over-dramatic," she teased, "Aren't you happy about being a father?" she asked, saying it just made it more real,

"Ask me in about nine months," was his reply,

"Jason!"

"Yes! I was only joking…I'm overjoyed but at the moment my relief is a bit more overwhelming,"

"Aw, you do love me,"

"Always," Jason murmured. Then, "We need to tell everyone,"

"No…not yet," Tori said frowning,

"Why not?" Jason asked pulling back to look at her eyebrow raised,

"It's…it's pretty much a miracle and was in almost every way unlikely to ever happen. I just want to wait until there's no chance of losing it as easily as it is to in the earlier stages," she frowned as she moved her hand to her lower stomach, "I want to make sure nothing back happens,"

"Nothing will…but I see you're point," Jason said. He shook his head, "I can't believe this…it's incredible," he kissed her, and then again as she smiled at his vigor. It was incredible. It was a dream come true…and not the end of the world…in fact it was just the beginning.

A/N: Okay, maybe it's cheesy and stuff, but I thought it was cute. Maybe Jason was a bit OC-ish, but...sorry you're gonna have to deal with it. Also...there IS a reason why the cut isn't healing...you'll find out why in a few chapters-you know, once I write them-hope you liked this chapter! REMEMBER TO REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!

Nobody's Weapon will be updated on Friday and Things of the Future on Monday! Thanks for reading!
