"What?!" Kris yelled, dropping the doll she had been holding. "Repeat that?"

"I still love you." Briar repeated a little louder with a bit more confidence.

"WHAT!?" Neal demanded, throwing the door open.

"NEAL! I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUTSIDE!" Kris screamed as everyone stuck their heads into the room.

"And find out that the girl I'm eloping with has a child and the child's father still loves her from someone else?" He yelled before storming out of the room and house.

"Eloping?" Briar asked, hurt before leaving the room as well.

"I've fucked things up." Kris cried, sobbing before running out too.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Make your choice, Krisanna!" Neal screamed when the three had gathered in a room after hours of time to cool off.

"I can't…" She sobbed.

"Leave her alone!" Briar ordered. "She doesn't have to choose!"

"She does too!"

"Not!

"Too!

"I can't take this!" She screamed, leaving the room. She retreated to Sandry's room, where she found some comfort. "Neal wants me to choose." She told her cousin and her best friend, Kel.

"Who do you want?"

"I'm not sure. Neal saved me from Roald, no offense Kel. And Briar's the father of my child."

"None taken."

"Who can you live with?" Sandry asked.

"Both of them I guess." Kris answered.

"Don't ask yourself that! Ask yourself who you can't live without." Daja suggested, sticking her head into the room.

"Who can I not live without?" Kris repeated.
