Chapter Three:
FICCIEFICCIEFICCIEFICCIEFICCIEFICCIEFICCIEFICCIEFICCIEFICCIEKathleen sighed; she was starting to feel like some kind of circus freak. Ti coughed, "Well, is it just me or did she gain a couple of pounds?" He asked. Gaining a particularly hard punch from a few people, including Lisa, Dena, Ally, Vandhana and Jyotsna. He also received a huge glare full of loathing and contempt from Kathleen herself.
Sonja rolled her eyes at Tom who was singing 'My Humps' softly under his breath and Bob who was trying hard not to laugh at Toms antics. She then grabbed Tom, Bob and Ti and dragged them out of the kitchen and into the living room. She gave Kathleen a wink as she left the room dragging the 3 by their shirts. The bar doors flapped behind them.
Tara raised a curious eyebrow in Kathleen's direction and Kathleen sat down. "I don't know." She said finally. Cristina looked skeptical, "You don't know. Well how can you not know, you look pretty well into, erm it." She said frowning. "I didn't do anything to deserve this. I didn't do anyone. It just happened." Kathleen explained looking more than a little desperate.
"It's okay, we'll figure out a way this could have happened." Ally said looking sympathetic and coming over to sit with Kathleen. The others soon followed including Chris who had a pot of tea and placed that in the middle of the table for everyone to help themselves.
Kathleen then started explaining about the demon on the boat on their way over to the mansion
SONJATOMBOBTISONJATOMBOBTISONJATOMBOBTISONJATOMBOBTISonja, Tom, Bob and Ti were all sitting in the control room in the mansion with smiles plastered on their faces. "Then he went on and on in Latin about how the child was one of great power and was going to destroy the world, then I killed him of course and I said, told you someone touched my motorcycle." Sonja said grinning.
They all laughed half-heartedly and Sonja frowned. "I don't like this, guys. The whole situation is something I've never heard of before." Sonja said honestly as she paced the room, stopping every once and a while to check the numerous monitors filling the room. "I can search the net for documentation of any prophesies involving this kind of thing." Tom said rolling his chair over to the nearest computer and pressing the on button. "Don't bother, I've searched everywhere I could think of and it all leads to a dead end." Sonja said shaking her head. "Ah, but good ol' Tom hasn't searched yet." Bob said with a grin.
At this point George came into the room holding a glass of milk. "Hey Sonja! When did you get here?" George asked. "A few minutes ago actually. How are you?" Sonja said grinning. "Come on in, join the party." She added motioning to the nearest empty chair. George smiled and came into the room, trailed closely by a slender young girl. Her long raven colored hair ghosted behind her. Her blue eyes plastered to the ground, in an attempt to block all eye contact.
"Who's this?" Sonja asked curiously sitting up and attempting to put on a warm smile. She wasn't seasoned with kids, they always made her feel uncomfortable; she had never really spent time with them other than being one herself. Even that was a long, long time ago.
Bob was smiling too, "Hey Jo, do you want to play on the computer?" He asked motioning towards the screen. The child jumped upon hearing her own name and moved behind George even more grasping his shirt. "I'm not sure she's ever seen a computer." George said smiling slightly and blushing for her.
Ti smiled and moved farther away from the computer. Jo watched cautiously from behind George and waited until Ti was at a 'safe' distance until se cautiously stepped forward and sat down at the computer, taking up the mouse she began to click and type like a pro. Bob raised his eyebrows in George's direction and George shrugged, "That happens a lot actually, she's really smart." He commented off handedly.
"Understatement of the year…" Tom said glancing over at what Jo was doing. They watched in awed silence for about a minute and a half as huge amounts of information flashed across the screen; from all sorts of sketches of demons to pentagrams and crosses.
Finally the random pages stopped coming and a few pages were left on screen. Jo then pushed herself away from the computer and looked up at all the taller men and women staring at her with looks of wonder and confusion on their faces.
The click of the printer startled some of them and they wheeled around to see the information being printed, with-out Jo even pressing the print button. George went over to the little girl and placed a cautious hand on her shoulder before rolling her back slightly so that everyone could look on the screen.
Ti was the first one to pull away and he stared into the little girl's eyes for almost a minute. "Thank you, that's exactly what we needed to find out." He almost whispered. Jo got up and walked out of the room without even a nod of acknowledgment, George followed behind her with an unsettled but surprisingly proud look on his face.
"And I thought she'd want to play pin-ball or something." Sonja muttered running a hand through her hair. Everyone nodded in agreement as they read through the unsettling information.

Kathleen was feeling like a zoo animal again, they were all still staring at her large, very pregnant belly. "Is anyone going to say anything or shall I continue sitting here like a piece of confusing modern art…" She asked.
They all blinked and looked away, Ally ran a hand through her hair and shook her head, "Do you um, need anything?" She asked. Kathleen nodded, her eyes flashing, "Yes, yes I do," She said standing.
Everyone watched her expectantly. "I need you guys to STOP treating me like a fragile piece of mush! I'm not FRAGILE and I DON'T need to be catered on or treated any different!" She said striding past everyone and to her room.
"Well I can see her mood swings are just kicking in," said Dena.
"DENA!" yelled everyone else in the room.
"Well it's true."
"We know but you don't have to say it," answered Jyotsna who went up the stairs to follow Kathleen.
Just then, Sonja, Tom, Ti, Bob, George, and little Jo, came up the stairs. "Hey guys, I think there's something you need to see here," said Sonja as she put a pile of papers onto the kitchen counter.
"What is it?" asked Lisa.
"Well for starters it's information on a prophecy that has to do with a vampire who suddenly becomes pregnant with a child that could kill the human race," answered Ti.
"Well, that's uh interesting," replied Tamara.
"Yah well that's not it."
"What else?" asked Chris.
"Well none of us found it," said Tom.
"Well I'm not surprised that you didn't find it," said Riley in a quite sarcastic voice.
"Ha ha, very funny, but I'm not the only who didn't find it, Ti didn't even find it."
"Then who did?" asked Tara.
"I did," spoke up Jo.
"Well I'm not surprised at that, she's found things that we couldn't since we adopted her," said Chris.
"Well she didn't only find it on the computer within 3 minutes of going down stairs; she also printed the papers out without even pressing print or turning on the printer." Bob said as he stared still stunned at the little 3 year old.
"Oh well that's new."
"Did I do something wrong?" asked the scared little girl.
"No sweet heart you didn't do anything wrong," said Vandhana who walked up to her and crouched down in front of her and gave her a big hug in the same way she did to her little girl when she was upset.
"Why would you think you did something wrong?" George asked his little adopted daughter.
"Because everyone is staring at me," Jo replied.
"Oh well we're just staring because we're surprised at how smart you are," said Christina as she walked up to Jo with a glass of juice for the little girl.
"Thank you," said Jo as she was handed the juice.

"Are you Ok?" asked Jyotsna as she entered Kathleen's room and sat next to her on the bed.
"What do you think? I'm pregnant and I don't know how, and I don't know if this child is human vampire, both, or some kind of evil demon."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you."
"It's not your fault; I'm just a little moody and scared."
"Well that's normal when your pregnant, you should've seen Vandhana when she was pregnant, she made Johnathon cry I don't know how many times, she cried, yelled, and was ecstatic at every time of the day, and she ate the weirdest combinations of food. One time she made Johnathon go get hotdogs, chocolate ice cream, root beer, cherries, sour keys, lemon juice, chicken, and hotcrossbuns. He thought she was going to have the chicken with lemon juice as a marinate, hotdogs, and root beer for dinner, and then the ice cream, cherries, sour keys, and hotcross buns for dessert. Man was he wrong because when he got back she took the bag brought it in the kitchen, cooked the chicken and hotdogs then put those in a big mixing bowl and topped it with the lemon juice then the ice cream, cherries, and sour keys and scooped it up using the hot crossed buns and a giant spoon. He looked beyond disgusted and it was so funny."
"She really did that?" asked Kathleen with her mouth wide open.
"Oh yah, and when she had Rin, Johnathon was so glad that those cravings were over. And so was I because it grossed me out to."
"Well I haven't had any gross cravings yet."
"Don't worry, it'll happen."

"Do you think we should tell Kathleen?' asked Riley who was getting herself a glass of blood to drink.
"Of course we should, I does concern her doesn't it," replied Sonja who was still worrying about her sister.
"I don't know Sonja, if we tell her she may end up doing something drastic," said Selene.
"What do you think she'll do? She is my sister and I know that she wouldn't do anything that could hurt herself, she isn't stupid."
"Why would I want to do anything that could hurt myself?" asked Kathleen from the kitchen entrance.
