Chapter 5

B walked down the hall into the room Ace had converted into a training room for her. she took off her skirt and started her morning work out beating the crap out of a punching bag. After she had beaten it into a pulp she stood into the middle of the floor and began to beat the crap out of a wooden dummy of Him. She felt two arms wrap around her and grimaced. She turned around and smiled up at Ace.

"babe the doctor will see you now" Ace led her out of the training and into their room. He left her there and the doctor walked in.

"well Mrs. Ace lets have a look" the doctor pulled out an ultra sound and pressed it against her bare stomach, he came up smiling.

"it seems there is an expecting mother in the castle" B held her mouth and ran into the bathroom throwing up. "don't worry my queen I'm sure King Ace will hire the best midwife in the world to take care of you now get extra rest and eat all the food you want remember your eating for two now" B threw up again and sat down next to the toilet. *NO! this is not supposed to happen no!* Ace walked in and picked her up off the floor kissing her.

"babe were pregnant" B smiled at him her best fake smile. He put her down and looked at her. "I think the nursery should be in here, now you get some rest I'm going to go hire the best midwife in the world" Ace bounded out of the room, B punched a hole and the wall and sat down on the floor crying. She felt someone wipe her tears away, she cursed under her breath. She felt two warm arms pick her up and hug her. something was different the arms were not cold and clammy like Ace's.

Bubbles walked into the library and sat down at her work desk, she pulled out the book marked banishing spells and opened it. She read through it and put it down sighing.

"there has to be a way to defeat him" she looked at the apple on a small table in the middle of the room. She stood up, she picked up her two pentagram discs one in each hand. She held them up her arms crossed over her chest. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the apple.

"amun ra amun day suway a hara" Bubbles threw the pentagram discs, they flew towards the apple glowing with blue magic. "natuway natuway natuway"

*boom* Bubbles opened her eyes and saw that the apple was gone. She clapped with glee as she retrieved her discs from the ground. She went back to her book with renewed confidence.

B looked up at the smiling face of Butch. He hugged her closely and sat her down on the bed.

"Butch.. what are you doing here? Him will kill you"

"not if he doesn't find out, Boomer and I were sent out to invite Ace and Mojo to a ball at Him's palace, Boomer and I switched"

"but.." Butch put his finger over her mouth and kissed her. she pushed him away.

"babe whats wrong?"

"not here its to risky there is to much of a chance we'll get caught"

"Buttercup what's wrong" B looked up at him tears in her eyes.

"Butch I'm pregnant"

"oh babe I'll take you away we'll live with our kid just you and me" B burst out in tears.

"Butch I don't know if it's yours"

"what do you mean babe?"

"I had to give in to Ace it's the only hope I have of defeating Him"

"so whose is it babe?"

"I don't know" Butch hugged her.

"it doesn't mater babe were together now"

"we can't he could come back at anytime and I don't have my powers"

"then I'll take you away"

"where could I hide?"

"B I just want to be near you"

"Butch...." The door knob clicked, B looked at Butch and shoved him out the window, he floated just below the window sill. Ace walked in smiling, he picked her up in a hug then set her down.

"were you crying babe?"

"tears of joy"

"I'm happy" B smiled at him, Ace leaned her back into a kiss then set her back up.

"you taste different are you wearing a new lipstick?"

"yes"

"no... this isn't lipstick this is a male taste" Fear struck B as she watched Ace look around the room. "was I not loving enough towards you? I gave you everything you could ever want everything you could ever need... why would you betray me?... and with who? One of my gang members? Or maybe one of the guards?" B shook her head.

"WHO?" Ace backhanded her across the room slamming her into the wall under the window. He picked her up and glared at her.

"who are you cheating on me with? I'll kill the bastard then you will be all mine"

"it was one kiss!"

"I highly doubt that, I just want to know why?" B had had enough.

"I don't love you!" she spat out pushing out of his arms. "I never have and never will, I slept with you because it was my only chance at getting out of here and defeating Him"

"you used me you conniving which!" Ace backhanded her again knocking her to the ground. "and our baby do you hate it too?"

"its not mine and never will be"

"well it is mine and you will have it, then I will kill you" Ace stormed out of the room and slammed the door. Butch floated back in and picked B up. He wiped the blood from her lips and kissed her forehead.

"that settles it your coming with me"

"and how do you expect to hide me?"

"I'll find a way" Butch picked B up in his arms and flew her out the window.

Bubbles heard the door bell and glided down the stairs her dark blue gown swishing against her legs. She opened the door and threw herself onto the person standing there.

"Boomer Boomer BOOMER!" Mojo walked out of his lab and smirked. He clapped his hands and Bubbles let go of Boomer and stood next to him.

"Mister Mojo him invites you to a ball that is to be held at his palace tomorrow night he ask that you bring a guest" Mojo nodded his head.

"you may tell him that I accept, now you two may have your moment but Mister Boomer you should not dally long or him might wonder" Mojo walked back into his lab. Boomer swept Bubbles up into a hug and kissed her.

"I've missed you baby"

"oh Boomer" they kissed again and broke away.

"you have to go or Him will suspect"

"I love you" Boomer flew away, Bubbles closed the door and saw Mojo watching her a bemused look on his face.

"he's a nice boy but he will get you in trouble"

"he already has"

"yes, anyway would you like to design your dress for the ball or should I have computer do it for you?"

"please have computer do it I would like to focus on my studies now"

"alright" Mojo went into his lab and Bubbles went into the Library.
