Dushu: Well... Goddess in all honesty should be working on her math and Japanese homework.

Goddess: Yeah, but it's trigonometry, I hate anything above Algebra...

Cally: But you love Japanese

Goddess: Yeah, but thats easy to do. I have to write the words down and practice my Kanji.

Dushu: You suck

Goddess: Just think I'll be in German class next year.

Cally: What are you, a linguist?

Goddess: Trying to be. Disclaimer goes here...


"My family has been facing hard times. They will not trust you well, but stay with me, and do not say anything unless I let you know it is ok. Otherwise, my village will disappear, and I'll be out of luck." I said.

We began our trek to my village home. This trip would be one that would let us all learn about ourselves. I was wondering if this was all a plan as it was. I wanted to punch whoever it was that planned this, if it was. It wasn't right to pull something like this on someone. I hadn't done anything wrong, and now I had been wronged in the worst way. I sighed.

At the end of the day, we had all gotten pretty tired. The terrain was rough as we got further into the forest, and closer to the heart of Kauai. It was raining again. I had missed the rain, it was so clean. In Dakota the rain always tasted dirty. We had found an outcropping close to the Opaekaa Falls, on the Wailua River. We had gathered food as we went. Mostly the berries and things like that, but we had managed to buy some things from some tourists. We had to make up some excuses as to why we needed it. I was just glad that I had normal clothes on.

"No, don't worry about us. We're always glad to help someone out. Revisiting your honeymoon?" The woman had asked.

"No, why do you ask?" I asked her.

"Well, it is a Hawaiian Island…and people honeymoon a lot." She said.

"Oh, well um. We live here actually." Virgil said. "We decided to move closer to her family."

"Yeah. I guess so." The woman said, looking at us oddly.

"That was quick thinking Virg." Richie said. Virgil blushed.

"We need to make sure that they don't talk to anyone about us. We need to keep a low profile. People ask questions." He said.

I smiled at the memory, seeing Virgil blush was something. Now he was frowning at the water cascading from the water fall. I got up and sat next to him. We sat there in silence, watching the water, and listening to it.

"You know Virgil. I'm really glad I met you two. Without you, I wouldn't be able to make it to my village. I'd have stopped before I even began. You both have pulled me through a lot. I don't know where I'd be right now if I hadn't met you." I said.

"I don't want to think about it. If we hadn't met, you could be just fine, but with the other Meta humans knowing about you…" Virgil said, a catch in his voice.

"Thank you." I said quietly.

We continued to sit there. I was beginning to think about what was going to happen with this baby. I had just graduated from High School, and I was going to be a mother. I wouldn't have minded so much, if I had been married and settled. I had so many plans for my future, and now they were pretty much ruined.

"What are you going to do about the baby?" Virgil asked, as if he read my mind.

"I don't know really. I don't know what I'm going to say to my family even about the father, and how this all happened. I don't know what they'll do when they find out. I mean, my family is big on honor. We may be seeing Hot Streak again." I said.

"We'll be right by your side. We won't let him walk all over you. He needs to get what is coming to him." Virgil said, holding my hand.

"I hope he does. But I don't want to have him raise this baby. He can just forget being a parent. If it comes to it, I'll let my family raise the baby." I said.

"I'm glad. I'll do what I can to help you." Virgil said.

"Thanks." I said.

I blushed, seeing his dark brown eyes watching me intently. I smiled at him. His hand touched my cheek. I almost cringed, and he pulled his hand back. I felt like crying. I was pushing away the one person I actually cared for, when he wanted to care for me. I threw my arms around his neck, hugging him and trying hard not to cry. I felt his arms around me, comforting me.

I felt him kiss me softly. I didn't cringe away this time. I leaned into the kiss. It ended so quickly, but I felt so warm and content. I leaned on his shoulder and was asleep instantly. I vaguely felt his arms around my waist, keeping me steady as he continued to watch the waterfall.

The next thing I knew, I was awakened by a more severe pain than ever before. I screamed, Virgil trying to keep me still so we wouldn't fall. Richie came running out and looked at him. Virgil picked me up and moved me closer to the fire. Richie used Backpack to scan me once more.

"Wow, she's trying to use her powers, but its channeling it differently. Now it says she's three months." Richie said.

"How can it suddenly jump like that?" Virgil asked.

"The baby is part meta human, part shaman. Meta human blood is unstable as it is, because the gas was pretty unstable. We can't predict what's going on with our bodies let alone hers. And we can't move her." Richie said.

"Why not? She needs to get to her people." Virgil said.

"She's reached a really unstable point. She's not going to be feeling up to walking for at least another day." Richie said.

"Richie, I have to get to my family. They will help me." I gasped.

"No. Backpack has told me that to move you know would be detrimental to your health, and to the baby's health. I'm inclined to believe it." Richie said.

"Ok, ok Rich. We'll do this your way. But how are we going to get food? Kailie is the only one here that can recognize food we can eat." Virgil said.

"Well, I've got Backpack. It's seen the food she found. It'll give us a hand. We just need to be careful." Richie said.


Dushu: We had to change a few things here...hmmm...It's kind of sappy...

Cally: But hey, that's what we do best. Besides, we stopped it from being really sappy.

Goddess: Hush you two. Come on, every girl would love to spend time with someone like Virgil Hawkins.

Cally: You even more so.

:Evil glare:

Goddess: As for you reviewers.. i hadn't realized that my settings made it so only people who signed in could leave a response... if I'd have known that it was set that way I would have changed it in a heartbeat.. I'm used to adultfanfiction,net :using commas so it don't get deleted:
