Chapter 14

We're all sitting on couches eating take out that we got on the way home. The house still isn't liveable and the shelter is getting crowded but none of these things are going to dampen my mood.

''So Hana, when are you do'' Rowan asks.

''In two months, by the looks of Jade she looks about as ready to pop'' Hana answers, we all look and Jade's bump and she turns bright red.

''I wonder whose genes will come through?'' Mogread wondered.

''Well mine of course, who else's?'' Mark asks as he shifts uncomfortably in his char.

''Jade, you didn't tell him about that one night stand?'' Ash jokes to his sister.

''Mark, Mogread means will the baby look like a Carter or a Redfern'' I explain to my brother.

''Well a Carter of course'' Mark declared.

''Wouldn't be so sure there, your battling against some pretty good genes'' Ash says.

''We do good have good genes'' Kestrel added. Everyone looks at the Redferns in the room, and I have to admit, they are all good looking.

''Hey we have good genes too'' Mark responded.

''No we don't '' I say because it's true.

''Well there must be some somewhere, because where else would they have gotten you from'' Ash whispers in my ear. When my attention goes back to the argument Jade ends it by saying we will have to just wait and see but I hope for the babies sake they get the Redfern genes, us Carters haven't been known to be a good looking bunch.
