4 days later by the pool

"Cat don't you think your outfit is a little revealing, especially around Tori's kids" asks Olivia

"Liv I get that you're new here but Naomi and Katherine are basically dating and Katherine has issues with certain clothing materials, Tori part owns a clothing manufacturer, I have similar issues as Katherine does, this bodysuit covers what needs to be covered my normal bathing suits are in the wash, because of the restrictions here it takes longer to do laundry when washing delicate clothes" says Cat

"what restrictions exactly" asks Mo

"water use and laundry detergent restrictions, showers can only last a maximum of half an hour per person, baths however are unlimited in time because it only uses a set amount of water, it's not an easy life out here but we're protected, far more than we would be in Vegas proper" says Cat

"fair enough, did you notice Vegas is only one letter off from Vega" says Mo as Cat chuckles

"I make that joke all the time, Tori's not fond of name based jokes though so I only get to say it at certain times, what's your pet name for Olivia" says Tori

"Livberry, what's yours for Ally or Tori" says Mo as Olivia blushes

"Torbear for Tori and Allyboo for Ally, I'm not really creative with names" says Cat

"what's it like having Andre around again, I understand you used to like him" asks Olivia

"ugh he told you that" groans Cat

"he didn't want to but I can be pushy, he only told me after my contract with the music school was over and Mo and I asked if we could stay with him until the end of the year, I wanted to know if we could trust him with our safety, he has proven himself to be very trustable" says Olivia

"how readily did he resist" asks Cat as Naomi and Katherine get into the pool

"he said as long as I'm in the trust of the music school he can't tell me because he made a promise to keep the person safe and out of the eyes of big companies and schools, that's how he referred to you as, always 'the person', never any identifying information, though even after our contract was over he never explained why" says Olivia

"I'm Italian royalty, even if not in the line of succession, if I was identified as a singer my family in Italy would call my doctor a lying waz bag and get him fired, the doctor I when I graduated high school was the nicest and most understanding doctor I've ever had, Andre promised to keep my talent a direct secret because that specific music school has been trying to get me to apply ever since I graduated" says Cat

"wait so he didn't keep your name a secret because of how you felt about him but because you didn't want to become a musician" asks Mo

"how I felt about him is ancient history, but it did play a part in his desire to keep the connection between him and I a secret, you working for the music school in New Jersey complicated things, it's not that he's not allowed to talk about me, it's that he can't confirm he knows how to contact me" says Cat

"but he has you on his phone, how can he deny having the ability to contact you" asks Mo

"I'm Cat on his phone now, I wasn't, even at Hollywood Arts I was in his phone as Cuddlebomb, no reference to me directly and since I don't use that name anywhere else they can't cross check it" says Cat

"Cuddlebomb sounds like a cute pet name, were you guys actually dating at some point" asks Mo

"yes and no, I don't want to get into it, it's extremely complicated as I'm sure your guys feelings for him are" says Cat

"how'd you know" asks Mo

"the past two nights he's been in your guys bedroom as opposed to in the bedroom assigned to him, it's pretty obvious" says Cat

"it's not what you think, he's not dating us per say" says Olivia

"he's your donor then" asks Cat

"more or less our donor, we already paid him but I have issues out of my control so we're more or less practicing, Mo got a positive test last night but I've been negative for the past month, I don't know what's wrong" says Olivia

"you said you were practicing, that would mean a positive test wouldn't be possible" says Cat

"my body rejected him the first dozen times, I seem ok when he's wearing protection but I don't know why it's not working without it" says Olivia

"could it be an allergic reaction to the slippery stuff he uses" asks Cat

"huh, I never thought about that, is there some discrete way to find out, I'd really not want a scandal for Tori, a music career has always been her dream and I really don't wand to ruin it" says Olivia

"there are a few ways, one way to avoid that however is to purposely make the sleeve fail by cutting the end off" says Cat as she bites her lip

"you're pregnant by him aren't you" asks Mo

"not in the way you think, he donated the non intimate way, he's donating for both Ally and I" says Cat

"so both you and Ally are pregnant now, what about Tori" asks Mo

"I'm pregnant at the moment yes, Ally needs to wait till her blood test results are in, Tori needs to finish the medication for the infection thing before she can go forward with it but that is the plan" says Cat

"is there anything I should know about when it comes to kids or Andre" asks Olivia

"you're letting him donate in person, the intimate way, that's a connection he won't want to give up, he will insist on being in your lives and your kids lives, he won't give that up easily, if their skin is as dark or anywhere close to as dark as his, he will want to warn them of the dangers of having dark skin, he's very vocal about that, he was warned about how bad being dark skinned would be and believe me it's worse" says Cat

"wait so you got numbers at that bank, how good is he" asks Mo

"you don't have to worry about his side of the equation, while not the highest number, they said his were of good quality, some of the best in that regard, just keep it alive" says Cat

"is that why you're not in the pool today" asks Mo

"more or less, in general the pool is a little warm for me, but especially now, I'm eating for two now, as are you Mo, remember that always" says Cat

"but what If I'm not all that hungry" asks Mo

"then you snack, I'll be snacking all day every day for the first month, my family has a history of looking big, because of my height I will probably look bigger than I am, Mo you might look smaller than you are because of your weight distribution, don't focus on size, I've bought ultrasound equipment, you're more than welcome to use it" says Cat

"but I've always been told size during pregnancy matters" says Mo

"uh uh, weight is important, as long as you meet the weight goal for that week you're fine" says Cat

"what's your weight goal" asks Olivia

"two pounds gained per week or something, I'm ninety two pounds right now, my doctor says a healthy week forty would have me around one twenty five, whatever that works out to per week is my 'prescribed' weight gain" says Cat

"ok let's change the subject, Naomi is dating Katherine" asks Olivia pointing to Katherine and Naomi in the pool

"yes, why do you have a problem with that" asks Cat

"no, I think it's adorable but are they allowed to kiss" asks Olivia

"yes but not for longer than two seconds, why" asks Cat

"their heads have been nearly touching for a minute or so" says Mo as Cat turns her head

"what's up guys, you know the rules, two seconds only" says Cat

"at a time momma, that what Mom said, me mostly admiring her skin, it soft" says Naomi

"ok but you don't have to make it look like you're kissing, someone might get the wrong idea and tell Tori, you wouldn't want Katherine taken away because she didn't follow the rules do you" asks Cat

"no… me sorry momma" says Naomi as they get on the inflatable pool lounger

"does that happen often" asks Mo

"almost every time they get in the pool, which is why they're only allowed once a day and why I'm on watch, it has something to do with Naomi's vision, see she doesn't see the world like you or I do, it's not color blindness either, or at least not entirely, all Tori, Ally and I know is the light alters the light getting into her eyes, allowing her near normal vision for a limited time, however if she let's too much light in, her vision gets worse for an hour or so after they get out of the pool" says Cat

"I'm not aware of any condition that would explain that" says Olivia

"that's why it's hard to pinpoint but her doctor says that to turn back the damage the inherited thing did she needs time in the sun, at least three hours a day, with the medication obviously" says Cat

"can't Tori recover the same way, seeing her twitch can be very scary, especially the times when it stops her talking" says Mo

"Tori's beyond the veil as the doctor calls it, there isn't a way or repairing the damage caused without causing other issues, like dissociative identity disorder or DID being a real problem" says Cat

"is DID a real possibility, I thought it was only the result of trauma" asks Olivia

"the inherited 'infection' Tori has and passed onto Naomi and Lucas is a ticking time bomb, anything is possible when you take the medication, both good or bad, for Tori and her twin sister Sofía there is no going back though not for lack of trying on Sofía's part, Brè is proof of that" says Cat

"who's Brè" asks Mo

"Sofía's new alter, Sofía now had DID, which makes it hard for Mia and Robbie but they love both of them very much" says Cat

"ok switching topics again, how are Naomi and Lucas taking your pregnancy" asks Olivia

"Lucas doesn't know yet, Naomi can't wait to be a big sister" says Cat

"wait doesn't Naomi have like eye cancer" asks Mo

"yes and she's begun pre-treatment, basically they're isolating the cancer to her eyes, in the process killing any small cancer cells that may have broken off, next week she begins full treatment as her even more rapid treatment for the infection ends, I know it sounds stupid but they wouldn't touch the cancer unless the infection was dealt with, something about bad medication interactions if both happened at the same time" says Cat

"I know the doctor that put that rule in place, he's the same one that stood up and accused my moms doctor of malpractice" says Olivia

"wait so it's a legitimate rule they have in place now" asks Cat

"it's been a rule in New Mexico since my mom passed away, she had an ear infection and pink eye, they treated her for both at the same time and disregarded warnings from the drug company that there are negative effects if both medications are used at the same time, they just wanted my mom out of the hospital, they got their wish but not as they'd planned, the doctor attending my mom got arrested, I didn't realize the rule had been accepted this far from New Mexico" says Olivia

"I think it was only recently accepted here in Nevada but LA has had a rule like that for a few years" says Cat as Naomi cries

"mommy, my head hurts" says Naomi suddenly holding her head in pain

"where" asks Cat urgently

"her forhead" says Katherine

"ok help her out of the pool" says Cat as she texts Jade

"this isn't good is it" asks Mo as Jade runs over

"no it means her cancer treatment can't wait any longer which is what the doctors wanted to avoid, Katherine go get Naomi changed and inform Lucas that he's to get ready to head to the hospital" says Jade

"ok" says Katherine

"so it begins, I let doctor Brier to expect us" says Jade

"is Torbear coming" asks Cat

"not right now, later yes, she's busy getting the equipment Miley…. I mean Hannah asked her to buy, something about doing live stream concerts instead of in person concerts for the next two years" says Jade

"who is this Miley" asks Mo

"she's related to Hannah Montana but that's as much as I'm saying" says Cat as Katherine comes back with Naomi and Lucas

"ok let's go" says Jade
