Skylor sighed as she mentally forced her exhaustion as she buttered some warm slices of toast for her girlfriend, who was still sleeping on the couch. Kai and Jay were still fast asleep and she had no idea where Cole and Zane were that mornings. Just as she finished making the quick breakfast she saw Nya stood up, stretching as she yawned loudly. Even though she had been sleeping, Skylor could see she was still tired and it seemed that she had slept in her clothes.

Without saying anything, the noirette grabbed her coat and heading for the door.

"Hold on, I've just made you this," Skylor said as she held out the plate.

"I haven't got time, sorry." She mumbled.

"What's the rush and when was the last time you had a decent night's sleep?" She asked, glancing at the blanket and pillow on the couch.

"See you later." Nya yawned and left the apartment. Skylor sighed in frustration as she glared at the blanket and the breakfast...


"I can't stop her from coming into the surgery though, she had an appointment and everything." Wendy whimpered as she and Misako walked down the stairs of the apartment building to travel to their respective jobs. The nurse had just been telling her best friend about everything that was happening with Nya and what happened at the surgery the other day. Misako kept insisting that Wendy should try and ban Nya from her workplace, but Wendy refused.

She was scared it might cause more problems.

"It's harassment!" Misako exclaimed.

"Not according to my boss, I got a warning because of the way I talked to her." She sighed sadly. "I was angry because I thought she was stalking me but I came across as paranoid."

"Well, that's what she's done to you! It has to stop!" Misako cried, fearing for her friend's wellbeing. Just as they reached the lobby, they both froze when they saw Nya fastening her shoelaces. It was almost like she was waiting for them to come down.

"Not again," Wendy muttered in fear, but Misako was angrier.

"What's the matter with you! Leave us alone!" She shouted at the teen, but Nya just smirked.

"I'm just going for a walk." She shrugged innocently as she started to leave.

"Yes, well, I told you I'm not scared of some little girl throwing a tantrum." Misako insisted, but Nya wasn't fazed in the slightest.

"I'll have to try harder then won't I?"

"Is that a threat?" The archeologist growled, but Wendy stopped her from approaching the teen. Nya just laughed and walked away, leaving a trembling Wendy and a fuming Misako behind...


That lunchtime, Skylor sent Nya a text, asking her to meet her at the cafe so they could talk about things. Kai was also going to be meeting them, but he had already texted saying that he was running late. When Nya finally arrived, Skylor didn't think it was possible, but Nya looked even worse than she did this morning. The noirette said nothing as she sunk into her chair and almost drank the coffee Skylor had gotten her in one gulp. Neither girl said anything until Skylor finally worked up the courage to clear her throat.

"I found something this morning down the side of the couch." She paused, waiting for Nya to say something, but she just looked confused. "A leaflet about sleeping better."

"Yeah, well, I went to the doctors." She sighed, slightly annoyed, but she didn't know why.

"I... I'm glad you're getting help." Skylor smiled. "But I think sleeping in your own bed might make a difference though."

"Don't make a big deal out of it," Nya replied, sounding a little harsher than she wanted, but Skylor wouldn't back down this time.

"I'm not! Jay and I can hear you walking around at night, I just don't want you being embarrassed by it." She pleaded, but Nya refused to even look at her girlfriend. Before Skylor could say anything else, however, Kai suddenly approached them with a happy smile on his face. Now that he was due in about five weeks he was practically glowing. "Hey, look at you!" Skylor cooed as Kai sat down, rubbing his bump gently.

"I'm visiting the maternity ward tomorrow, just for a look around." He smiled in excitement. In just a few weeks he would meet his little baby and he was both ecstatic and terrified at the thought. When he told the midwife said she told him that one of the most common things she saw in pregnant patients was fear. Fear that their lives will be derailed by pregnancy. Fear that their loved ones and friends won't accept them. Fear of being a bad parent.

More than anything, these expecting parents are afraid of the unknown.

That was why it was vital to get past the fear of pregnancy before they made any decisions or choices. She also gave him a few tips for how he could do just that. She told him to relax, get the facts, take care of himself, make a proper birth plan, and talk to someone. He did just that. He was planning to have a water birth and when he spoke to someone on they said it was rare, but some people are so afraid of giving birth that they don't want to go through with it, even if they really want to have the baby.

The severe fear of childbirth may also affect their decision on how to give birth to their baby.

This was called Tokophobia and it can happen in any pregnancy.

"Don't let all the screaming put you off," Skylor warned and Kai's eyes widened in slight fear. "Just kidding!" She laughed and he glared.

"It's not funny! I'm scared, I'm gonna be in agony!" He cried in fear, thinking of all the hours of labor pains he would have to go through for his baby. He knew it would be all worth it, however.

"Oh don't believe all those scare stories! Most baby's just pop out with no trouble." She chuckled, but Kai still looked worried so she gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. "Don't worry about anything."

"Well, I'm trying not to let anything stress me out, not even seen Wendy every day." He admitted.

"It can't be easy."

"There's nothing I can do about it unless she leaves."

"I can't see that happening."

"Well, you never know." Nya suddenly shrugged, having not said a word since Kai had arrived. The trio made some more small talk when Kai suddenly excused himself to go to the restroom and Nya left almost immediately after, saying that she had the stuff to do. Skylor sighed as she scrolled through her phone, waiting for Kai to come back so they could pay and go. Just then the bell on the cafe door rang as it opened and Skylor saw Misako and Wendy walk in.

As soon as the nurse saw her, she grabbed her friend's arm and tried to leave.

"I could have made you lunch at home!" She whimpered when Misako refused to move.

"Yes, but we're not hiding away." She said and walked over to Skylor.

"What?" The red-haired woman scowled.

"Is Nya here?"

"Why'd you want her?"

"I don't, I just want to make sure there's no more trouble," Misako said but Skylor scoffed.

"Maybe if you stayed out of people's way there wouldn't be."

"It's not us, she won't leave Wendy alone! She keeps following her!" Misako snapped and Skylor's brow furrowed in confusion.

"She's got better things to do with her time."

"Her behavior's not normal," Misako warned, but Skylor just shook her head.

"Let's just go." Wendy pleaded, fearfully looking around in case Nya suddenly appeared.

"See! She's scared to be here because that's what she's done to her!" The archeologist exclaimed, gesturing to her frightened friend, "She's trying to drive us both away!"

"Well, what's she actually done? Has she hurt you in any way?" Skylor asked the nurse in a slightly mocking sound, but inside she was genuinely concerned. Not for Wendy's safety, but for Nya and her issues. Wendy just frowned at the girl and turned to her friend.

"She doesn't want to listen, let's just leave it." She said and they started to walk away. Just before they left, however, Misako turned back around and looked Skylor dead in the eye.

"You need to have a word with her and make sure she stops because if you, don't the police will because we'll get a restraining order." She warned and finally left with Wendy. Skylor barely managed to hold in a growl, worried about what mess Nya had gotten herself into...


Skylor angrily paced around the apartment as she waited for Nya to come back. After Misako and Wendy had left the cafe and Kai had finished in the bathroom, they paid for their food and went their separate ways. Kai was meeting up with Jay, Cole, and Zane for a date, even though there was much he could do with a bump the size of Scotland, and Skylor was planning on catching up on some Netflix. That idea quickly went out the window however as she thought more and more about Wendy and Misako's claims that Nya was stalking them.

That combined with Nya's clear lack of sleep worried the red-haired woman.

If her girlfriend carried on with this behavior then she could end up in prison, regardless of whether Wendy deserved it or not. She had sent Nya a text almost an hour ago, telling her that it was urgent and she needed to come back now. Skylor was hoping that she could talk some sense into the noirette while they were alone. Eventually, Nya arrived, looking very bored.

"You took your time." Skylor glared.

"What'd you want?" Nya asked in annoyance

"Don't take that tone with me!" She snapped, but Nya didn't look fazed.

"Well, I'm here now so what'd want?!"

"You need to leave Wendy and Misako alone!"

"What?"

"They're threatening to get a restraining order out on you!" She screamed just as Jay and Kai came back. They had only heard the tail end of the conversation but knew almost immediately what was happening.

"Wait, what?" Kai gasped. When he told Nya to get rid of Wendy he hadn't thought about them filing a restraining order out on her and the risk of his little sister going to prison.

"Nya's been hounding Wendy!" Skylor told the men before turning back to her. "You need to stop it!"

"That family has ruined our lives!" Nya snapped.

"I don't want you going to prison, I couldn't cope!" Skylor cried.

"Skylor's right," Jay said, looking very disappointed at Nya's alleged actions while Kai kept his head down, too ashamed to say anything.

"I haven't even done anything!" She denied.

"Then it needs to stay like that!" Skylor exclaimed. "If you see either of them, just turn around and walk away, take a leaf out of Kai's book!" She said and the brunette flinched. "He's moving on with his life and he's doing his best to ignore them."

"Fine, I'll stop it." Nya sighed angrily, refusing to look at any of them. Skylor seemed satisfied with that and offered to get them all a take-out for the burger place around the corner. As she left to get the food, Jay gave Kai a kiss and headed for the shower, leaving the siblings all alone in the living room. "Don't worry I'm not dropping it." She promised to her older brother, who looked extremely uncomfortable.

"Nya, I don't know if this is the best idea."

"Kai, I've got this." She promised, unwilling to back down. "Tomorrow, I'm gonna make sure Wendy and Misako get the message, and then we'll be rid of them for good." She said just as Skylor came back and they quickly changed the subject. As they ate their burger's however, Kai couldn't help but grow more and more worried for not only his sister's safety but for Wendy's as well...
