"Um, and you thought this was a good idea because...?" Bree asked,
caustically.
"Well, I didn't have a whole lot of choice," Morgan bit back. "It all just kind of happened."
"These things don't just happen," Bree retorted. Then turned to scowl at Liadan, "And what is your excuse for being a slut?"
"You're one to talk," Morgan said, pushing out of her chair. "You know all the guys in our high school better than their mothers."
"You absolute bitch," Bree sputtered, rising out of her own place.
Robbie and Liadan both jump up to hold Morgan and Bree back as they realize the conversation may turn violent in only moments.
"Don't say anything you'll regret, Bree," Robbie said soothingly.
"I won't regret anything," Bree hissed. "She thinks she can just show up every few weeks and we'll still be her friends, regardless what she does. Well I'm not just going to take it anymore. She has Liadan now, evidently, and doesn't have to bother even being half decent to us."
"Oh, I see, you're just upset that I have new friends," Morgan jeered. "Well, maybe if you had a life too, it wouldn't be upsetting."
"You just assume nothing has happened to me," Bree replied. "But I've been just as productive as you, except I've only been sleeping with ONE guy."
"I have only been sleeping with one guy," Morgan replied, then abruptly shut her mouth, realizing what she said.
Bree also quieted immediately, but it was Liadan who spoke, "You and Hunter haven't – "
"No, never," Morgan replied, shyly.
"But, I would have thought, after Cal and you –"Bree stuttered.
"Um, that actually made it a bit more uncomfortable, seeing as we all live in the same house," Morgan explained.
"But all that time you were with Hunter before this, you never made love?" Liadan asked.
"Uh, we came close, but it never seemed to work out," Morgan blushed.
"So this time with Cal..." Liadan lead off.
"Was your first?" Bree asked.
Morgan nodded.
Robbie cleared his throat, "If your not making her uncomfortable, you certainly are making me."
Bree ignored him, "And you got pregnant?"
Morgan nodded.
Bree sighed, "That really sucks. I'm sorry I wasn't more supportive, I was thinking about how much you were going through. All I saw was the huge shock I was getting."
"Shall I complete the shock?" Morgan asked, dreadfully.
"There's more?!" Robbie exclaimed.
"The Rowlands no longer remember me," Morgan said quietly.
"What did you do, Morgan?" Robbie asked, a bit too calmly. Morgan looked at him and saw the familiar look of fear.
"I was a bit upset after I told them about the baby, and I was still under the spell, and I – "Morgan tried to think of other excuses, but finally paused and said, "I cast a spell."
"Oh, you poor baby," Bree said, softly taking her hand.
"HER?! What about them?!" Robbie protested to receive a chilling glare from Bree and Liadan.
"I think she already feels bad enough without your help," Liadan berated.
Bree nodded, "If your not going to help, maybe you should leave."
Robbie looked ashamed, "Sorry."
"It's okay. You should be upset," Morgan assured him.
Bree snorted, "You come to us with your problems and we lecture you? What kind of friends do that?"
"Good ones," Morgan replied. "Because you did and you are, so that's what they must do."
Robbie smiled, "You forgive too easily."
"What lese can I do, when you are so willing to accept my faults?" Morgan mused.
Liadan spoke up, sensing the conversation settling, "It is probably time for us to be heading back." Catching the sudden fall in everyone's expressions, she continued, "But Cal wanted to say that he would really enjoy seeing you guys, so you could come back with us."
"It has been awhile since we saw him without having direct reason to loathe him, site kidnapping and arson," Bree commented.
Robbie looked reluctant, "But tonight isn't really good, could we take a rain check?"
"No problem," Morgan replied.
"Just call the house, usually either Cal or Hunter is there," Liadan said, standing to leave.
"Hunter or Cal?" Robbie grinned.
"One or the other, but God willing, never both," Morgan smiled.
"Well, I didn't have a whole lot of choice," Morgan bit back. "It all just kind of happened."
"These things don't just happen," Bree retorted. Then turned to scowl at Liadan, "And what is your excuse for being a slut?"
