The chapter 5 before was all messed up but this one the proper one, phew..... it was going all funky, but this is what its suppose to look like.

I thought I better start writing again before something else comes up and I'm distracted – o look an ant –which happens a lot. But I also must admit the reason I wrote this chapter straight away is because I got an email from this website that this fic has been nominated for some competition called Fiction Elimination, which was a nice surprise and I thought that the story needed more chapters, and that's how chapter 5 came about. So now I'm going to try and brainwash you with the subliminal message in this chapter – VOTE SOULMATE SOAPS – Lol. I'm not sure how it works because I've never done it before but if you have the time and if you want to you can – you better or legs will be broken just kidding - Thanks, and thanks for your reviews I didn't know I had any because of my email is being stupid, so thanks heaps, and always enjoy the chapter, its all started to come together a bit more, hopefully the next chapter will be a bit more revealing!!!

Also just out of blinding curiosity hehe I was just wondering if anyone knew who nominated my story, so I thank them because it was a really nice surprise. O & thanks for all the good lucks with my exams, I only wish exams involved just writing your name correctly and in the right spot.

Night Dreamer 18: I'm glad you like the story so far, yeah Poppy and I have a love hate relationship lol, also I think that people might be surprised how Mary Lynette reacts to Rashel's little bun in the oven.

Goddess Of Silent Tears: I predict with my crystal ball (really an old light bulb) that things in the mansion are going to be getting even tenser. Enjoy your sugar.

CHAPTER 5

"Mare!" Ash face resembled somewhat of someone who had just zip his fly up to fast. "What are you doing here?"

Mary Lynette narrowed her eyes at Ash, "Well, when I heard what you've been getting up to late at night, how could I resist NOT paying you a visit."

"What have you heard?" Ash started to sweat profusely, "What do you mean exactly?"

"I think you know exactly what I mean," she slowly moved towards him with a scowl on her face.

Ash unknowingly ran his sweaty palms on his new designer jeans, "Well, uh, there's a perfectly good explanation for it. If you just let me explain to you, somewhere where you don't have access to, uh, anything that, uh, could be considered a weapon."

Mare face turned into a big smile as she gave Ash a big bear hug, "Ash what are you talking about?"

"Uh, what are you talking about?" he asked cautiously.

She pulled back from the hug, "All those nights that you've been up worrying about me, wishing I was here with you."

Ash felt his whole body relax, his posture sank back a few inches. "Yeah that. Of course I've been missing you, I love you." She smiled adoringly at him, "So, uh how did you find out about my deep dark secret?" Ash tried to laugh it off as he carried her bags inside.

"Well, Rowan told me back at the creek. She said she still calls to keep in touch and the last time she called, she told me that some one told her you've been moping about talking about how much you wished I would come see you. They actually asked her to ask me to come visit. They said it was the perfect time to see you." Mare wrapped her arms around his waist and planted small kisses on his neck, "So, are you glad I'm here? I didn't come at a bad time did I?"

"Of course. I mean of course I'm glad to see you, and no you didn't come at a bad time. So I guess Rowan didn't happen to mention who told her for you to come did she?" he said trying to sound casual as they continued towards his room.

"Hmmm, I'm not sure; I think she said his name was Timmy."

Morgead awoke to feel the cold rough gravel beneath him. He groaned as he tried to sit up. His whole body was aching and he was bleeding from numerous places. He crawled across the ally and tried to use the brick wall to stand up. After a few goes he was finally up but still not very steady. His head was pounding and it took him a while to remember what happen. He remembered playing poker…… OH NO, he thought, I LOST ALL THE MONEY. He brought his hand up to his head trying to stop the throbbing. He noticed how bare his arm was. He had a slight memory of taking off his beautifully expensive Tag Huier watch that Jez had given him for their first anniversary, he swore under his breath, then another upsetting memory floated through, NO, IT CAN'T BE, he thought as he searched all his pockets, he swore loudly, "Not the car!"

He gained enough strength and balance to start walking down the alleyway slowly. He could feel all the blood on his face drying up and his whole body felt tortured as he made his way over to the park a block away. His stomach contracted every time he legs moved and his chest felt tight and hard to breath properly, forcing him to stop occasionally. Luckily it was early in the morning and there weren't many people around, not that it mattered in the neighborhood he was in, with his disheveled appearance he could blend in with the other homeless locals.

When he finally reached the park, he found a bench to sit on for a while, till everything stopped spinning and hurting. He had to come up with a plan of what he was going to do. First he would have to take care of his appearance, all battered and bruised, he resembled a squished grape. He tried to remember how he got that way. The last time he was this beat up was because of Jez when she found out he had crashed her bike. PHEW, he thought, LUCKY I DIDN'T TAKE HER BIKE OR I REALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN SIX FEET UNDER. The guys from the poker game really did a number on him, it was as if he could still feel them crushing body parts. He looked beside him to find two guys from last night's game. The guy with the gold tooth was on his right while the big body guard was on his left squeezing the life out o his arm. Goldie spoke first, "I warned you last night not to play the game unless you are prepared to pay the fee. But you didn't listen did ya. Now I guess you just gotta pay the price, the rest of it plus interest."

"The rest of it," Morgead squeaked.

"Plus interest," Muscles said.

"But, but, you already took everything how much more could I possibly owe?" he asked incredulously.

"Ha, I think we've got a comedian here." Goldie tooth laughed again.

"He he." Morgead laughed hoping he was out of trouble, "Argh!"

Muscles had pulled two of Morgead's fingers back. Goldie just smiled at him, "Listen up kid, either I get my $20 grand or Merl here will give you $20 grand worth of hospital bills."

So muscles did have a name. Merl started to pull another two fingers back.

"Alright! Alright! I'll get you your money; I just need a little time." Morgead cried out.

"Time we just don't have a lot of friend. Either I get my money by the end of the week, vampire or not, we'll make sure you pay." With that as the final threat they two thugs got up and left Morgead alone to think over his limited options.

WHERE AM I EVER GOING TO GET THAT MONEY, he cringed.

Rashel was exhausted as she walked into the mansions den. It was time to relax and not think about the little baby that was giving her such a headache of thinking of how she was going to handle things. She lied down on the big leather sofa. She was still coming to grips with what was happening. All she could think about was Quinn. He was going to be so upset when he finds out she betrayed him. IF HE FINDS OUT, she thought, UGH WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? YOU REALLY THINK YOU'LL BE ABLE TO KEEP THIS A SECRET. She went over all the stages of the pregnancy, surely Quinn would notice a big round bump that would develop on her stomach that obviously wasn't caused by a really bad case of indigestion. Maybe just tell Quinn he's the father, of course he'll believe her and how could he not? But what happens when the baby is born and comes out with blond hair and eyes that change to every color under the sun. It was a nightmare. And on top of all that she felt guilty over feeling so bad about having a baby. Being pregnant was supposed to be a happy time not dreading that your whole life could go down the drain.

Rashel dropped her head into her hands, and slowly felt the tears fall down her face. She didn't know what she was going to do. For now she just needed time to be alone. As if on cue, in walked Thea.

"Oh, hi Rashel, I didn't know you were in here. How are you?"

Rashel quickly tried to wipe away any left over tears, "I'm fine just fine."

Thea noticed she had been crying and quickly turned into the annoying caring person that some people can be. SHE WOULD MAKE THE PERFECT MUM, Rashel thought jealous, SHE SO NICE, BUT ME I CAN'T STAND TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE, WHY BUILD A BRIGDE JUST JUMP AND GET OVER IT. "Rashel, what's wrong you poor thing? You can tell me, I'll be able to help you whatever your problem is?"

Sending telepathic message to Morgead: go and see Thea

"Nothing is wrong Thea, I said I was fine," she said menacingly quiet.

"No something is wrong I can see it in your aura."

"Well just keep out of my aura okay. My aura is fine just as me."

"No, I can sense something else, it's a bit confusing."

"Look, me and my aura want to be left alone. So why don't you take your aura reading….."

"OH MY GODDESS, RASHEL YOUR PREGNANT!" Thea squealed with delight.

"Will you be quiet," Rashel grabbed Thea and pulled her back down to the couch, "For crying out loud, what are you a pregnancy test?"

Thea just smiled, "I can't believe this."

"Neither can I."

"Wow, this is so exciting, I can't wait till everyone hears about this."

Rashel froze, "Yeah, well that's the thing. You see I don't want anybody knowing about this at the moment. Okay, so far you're the only person who knows."

Thea looked disappointed, "What about Quinn, doesn't he know?"

"NO!" Rashel could feel her heart jump out of her body at the thought, "No, and I don't want him to know okay, he is the absolute last person I want to hear about this okay."

"I don't understand,"

"Just promise me you will not tell Quinn okay?"

Someone in the doorway cleared their throat pointedly, with a deadly looking face.

"Oh my god," Rashel gasped, "Quinn."
