Once Vicki and Henry left, Kate turned to Mike and said, "I'm so sorry..." he put his hand up and cut her off..."I think we just leave things as they are for tonight." He shot her a look as if to say, "I'm done for now." She understood. She got up off the couch and got her jacket.

"There is one thing I would like to tell you. And no matter how things turn out, please know I never meant to hurt you. I love you, I love you so much that I am willing to walk away if you ask." she searched his face for any spark of emotion, but Mike was too spent to give any.

"What, what else Kate, more lies, more deception." he looked at her his eyes empty, tired.

"No," she said tears starting to fall down her face, "I'm pregnant." With that, she opened the door and left.

Mike sat there, stunned.

Vicki said nothing on the drive back to Henry's condo, where she had asked to go. When they entered the apartment, Vicki flopped on the couch, angry with herself for the way she felt. She loved Henry dammit, she was IN LOVE with Henry, not Mike, why was she so...

"Territorial" Henry answered.

"Dammit Henry, stay out of my head! I hate when you do that!" Vicki yelled at him. Then she cut her eyes at him and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Henry sat down beside her, started taking her shoes off and rubbing her feet, something he knew would relax her while he tried to explain.

"Every "kind" whether it's human, vampire or magical creatures are somewhat territorial. What you have been feeling around Mike, Kate is territorial and until tonight, I was really, "he put his eyes down when he said this, "hurt. I thought that maybe you were..."

Vicki leaned into him and put her hands on either side of his beautiful face, "Falling in love with Mike again?" She kissed him, "Me too, that bothered me because I'll always LOVE Mike, but I'm IN LOVE with you Henry."' She could see the confusion in him.

"Henry, you gave up, literally, a lifetime for me. Yes, I do still have issues, like you trying to protect me or complete trust, but give me time. I can't give up everything overnight." She smiled that sexy smile that melted his whole being.

"So, what you are saying is," Vicki said, suddenly serious again, "Is that the "Bruja" like Kate, because they are magical, I feel territorial when they are around. How do I stop that?" Henry continued to rub her feet.

He laughed and said, "You don't, you deal with it. It's not as bad as vampires, which, with this new life for me, it's not a problem either. But, I think Victoria, with your, how do I put this delicately, " she said "Bitchiness?" and smirked at him, "No, I was going to say PERSONALITY, I think being territorial is just you, all you sometimes."

She leaned into him, more seductively this time whispering to him, her breath hot on his ear, "You say that like it's a bad thing." He shuddered and said, "I never said that," and he began kissing her ever so gently down her neck causing HER to shudder now.

Mike sat on his couch almost catatonic. "I have to call Vicki," he said out loud. When he called her home number, the machine picked up, "yeah this is Mike, call me tomorrow, thanks." he said into the machine.

I'm not calling bloodsucker's house...even though he assumed that's where she was. I'm going to be a father, Mike thought to himself, and the woman I love, my baby-mama is a witch...

With that he said, "Hell of a night.." and headed to try and sleep.

The next afternoon, Vicki rolled into the office after 12 which was unusual, even for her.

"Morn..afternoon Coreen." she said, taking big swig of coffee, which was making her nauseous. Must be all the hocus pocus last night...she thought to herself.

"Hello, sunshine, in a good mood I see?" Coreen said with a knowing smile. Vicki only half looked at her, trying to ignore the implications.

"Oh, Det. Celluci is on his way over, he says he REALLY needs to talk to you. Did something happen last night?" Coreen asked excitedly. Vicki filled her in and told her she wasn't feeling well this morning because of it.

"Wow, why can't I be there when something cool like that happens. So Kate is a Bruja? Way cool!"Coreen added. Vicki shook her head and laughed. "Doesn't take much for you Coreen," and walked into her office, to find Kate sitting on her couch startling Vicki.

"How the ..." Vicki asked looking back. Kate smiled, "I have my ways."

Vicki sighed, "I, uh, I need to apologize Kate for the way I've been acting. It's just, I'm not myself with all of this new crap happening. I'm somewhat of a control freak.." Kate raised an eyebrow sacastically at that statement.

"It's okay Vicki, really. I'm here to try and make ammends. I know that you still love Mike but you're IN LOVE with Henry and I also know that my future with Mike depends of both of you." Vicki looked puzzled.

"Both of who? Me and Henry?"

"No, you and Mike." Vicki didn't understand.

Kate explained to her that because of their past together, their auras would always be connected somehow but incompatible. It would take a pure love to break that connection.

"So you are saying that I don't have a pure love with Henry and Mike doesn't have a pure love with you."

"I'm saying that you both need to break ties completely. Besides, I don't know if Mike and I will stay together after last night. You saw him, plus, he doesn't do freaky remember?" Kate said half-smiling, half sad.

"Look, I'll do what I can, he's on his way over now. Maybe you better do whatever it is you do and disappear." Kate nodded and Vicki turned her back on her to walk over to her desk. As she turned to sit down, Kate was gone.

Mike walked through the door, perfect timing.

Boy, Vicki was really feeling sick and it must have showed because Mike asked her if she was okay.

"Yeah, think I just had too much "magic" last night, kind of like a hangover I guess. I've got to get Maggie to help me out."

Mike sat on the edge of his desk and looked at the woman he thought one day that he would spend the rest of his life with.

"What?" she said.

"Nothing, just thinking. Vic, I've got to say this last few days have been somewhat, strange."

She replied, "You got that right, even for us." Mike became very serious.

"That's kind of why I'm here. Vicki, you know I'll always love you but I'll never be in love with you. We just don't work, you know? You understand right? There can never be "us" romantically ever again."

She nodded and was suddenly becoming more nauseous, she was assuming this is where the aura's were being disconnected, maybe that's why she was getting sicker.

"I know, " she whispered, "I think we both have letting go issues. I'm happy for you and Kate, really I am."

He smiled, "Good then it makes it easier to tell you."

Vicki really felt sick almost to the point that she couldn't speak. "What?" she managed to choke out.

He held his hands up spread out in front of him, "I'm going to be a father," he said, smiling from ear to ear.

Vicki's eyes widened, she grabbed her trashcan and proceeded to throw up...
