Riddick walked through the halls of necropless wondering if Sage was going to be pissed when she woke up. He didn't get why him allowing Jamie to stay, she scared and running. Sage and he knew all about running and Riddick understood fear better than most, he'd lived in a constant state of it when Sage had bee a come, the fear that she wouldn't wake up, and the fear that she would wake up and not be her anymore.

"Ummm," came a sweet voice behind him. He turned and found the stowaway standing behind him with her head bowed and her hands behind her back. She shifted nervously from foot to foot.

"Yes," he rumbled.

"I…I just wanted to thank you," she muttered her eyes flashing up to meet his goggles shyly, "And tell you that if there's anything I can do to repay you just tell me."

"Just stay out of Sage's way. That';s more for your sake than mine though," he replied. She nodded and her cheeks flushed red.

"I don't think she likes me very much," Jamie said softly.

"Sage doesn't like anyone very much," he told her, "You must be hungry. It's time for lunch. Come on," he commanded as he turned and began to walk towards the dinninbg hall. She nodded and meekly followed him.

Jamie sat watching Riddick through her lashes. She was mildly annoyed that her innocent act wasn't working as well as she'd thought it would. She was glad she'd chosen this ship to escape on. In truth she was running from her ex but because he'd found out that she was cheating on him with another man and hadn't been pleased about it. Riddick was big and powerful, and he probably was an amazing lay. Not to mention that he was one fine piece of meat. As soon as she'd laid her greedy little eyes on him she'd decided that she wanted him.

Jamie studied Riddick closely, just because her 'anything I can do to pay you back' ploy hadn't worked didn't mean it wouldn't. She would get Riddick, it would just mean she had to readjust her game. That Sage bitch would be a problem though.

She was smart, smart enough to realize that Jamie wasn't innocent, not to mention she had enough balls to call her on it. She was obviously loud and domineering, but that might turn out to be an advantage. After all men wanted house cats not lions. And Jamie was content to be a house cat, she didn't care that Riddick ran an army, she just decided that she wanted him. This time she would keep what she won. He was so attractive and obviously belonged to Sage which only made her want him more. She would take him away from that bitch and make him her lap dog. All she had to do was purr and wiggle her tail at the right time and he would be putty in her hot little hands.

Jamie allowed herself a small smile at the thought of certain parts of Riddick in her hands. This was going to be fun.

Sage walked out of the doctor's quarters feeling a little sick. The cat walked along beside her and kept brushing against her leg in an effort to reassure her. She'd gone because she'd woken up and had to run to the bathroom because she had to throw up again and thought that maybe she'd gotten a cold or something. But no it had turned out to be something much more serious. She was about a month pregnant.

She'd told the doctor if he told anyone she would cut off his balls and shove them down his throat after she skinned him alive. And now she was going back to her room try and figure out what she was going to do. She walked in and made her way to the bed where she sat down heavily. The cat jumped up beside her and laid his head in her lap.

"What am I going to do?" she asked as she began petting him. It wasn't that she didn't want the baby, she'd always wanted a child, but had given up that hope a long time ago. She was no roll model to aspire too. She was murder and a convict with a 800,000UC bounty on her head. She wouldn't have any idea how to raise a child, and Riddick…

"Oh god Richard," she said in terror as she raked her hand through her hair. What was Riddick going to do? She had no idea what he was going to say. She had no idea what he though about kids. She didn't know if he even wanted one. The more she though about it the more panicked she became. She sat on the bed freaking out asking the cat repeatedly what she was going to do, and what Riddick was going to do. The cat merely licked her hand and scooted closer to her, she felt her heart starting to pound and she was having trouble breathing. She had to calm down, the doctor said that she could hurt the baby if she caused herself to pass out to often.

"Ohgodohgodohogodhogodohogod.WhatamIgonnadowhatamIgonnado?Relax

relaxSagerelax.Gottabreath!Gottacalmdown," she said, "Breath!Breath!Breath! AHHHH

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" she screamed as the door opened and Riddick walked in. She stopped breathing as soon as she realized who he was and her eyes felt like they were the size of plates. Riddick ran over and quickly wrapped his arms around her.

"What? What's wrong? Breath baby!" he said frantically. She stared at him but forced her lungs to work, she couldn't suffocate herself, it wasn't just her brain she was denying oxygen. Riddick stared at her with wide eyes wondering what was wrong, and feeling himself starting to panic. "What happened?" he asked.

"I…I went to the doctor, because I got sick again," she squeaked feeling like her heart was choking her. She saw his eyes widen, they kept the lights low in their room all the time so he didn't have to wear his goggles. Riddick was having a heart attack. Was Sage really sick? Was she dieing?

"What? What'd he say?" he demanded trying very hard not to freak out but she just stared at him with her dark eyes wide and fearful, "What's wrong hun?"

"I…I'm pregnant," she said finally.
