(Harley's POV)

After an hour of convincing Harriet to take a few pregnancy tests, she finally used them. Meanwhile, Deuce and I were sitting in the living room, worrying thoughts lingering in the air. I glared at him, my eyes burning into the side of his skull. He couldn't stop biting his thumb nails, nervous as hell. At last, we could hear the bathroom door open. Harriet rushed down the stairs and jumped in front of Deuce with her back towards him.

"Please, don't kill him." was all she could say.

"What did the tests say then?" I asked, rising from my seat.

She was silent, hesitating with the answer until I said, "I can just go upstairs and check the tests."

Sighing, she turned to her boyfriend and got down on her knees in front of him. He looked at her with anticipation, scared of her answer. Tears started to trickle from her eyes as he finally figured it out. Getting down on his knees too, he embraced her and let her cry into his chest. My eyes drifted to the floor, letting it sink in. It was true…

…My sister was pregnant.

The next few days, Deuce stuck by her side constantly. It was almost as if their hands were melted together. It wasn't until she had to go to the bathroom that they were separated and he asked me something.

"Hey, Harley, I've been meaning to ask you, where's Harriet's parents? Wouldn't they be worried about her?" he asked.

"You know what, Deuce? I'll take you to meet them Saturday; it's their anniversary so it'd be perfect." I offered.

"Alright but what are they like? I don't want to make a bad first impression." he asked, still a little nervous.

"You don't need to worry about that, just make sure you were black when you go to see them."

"Why black?"

"Tradition" I simply replied as Harriet exited the bathroom.

As I walked away, I could still hear them talking.

"What's wrong with Harley?" she asked.

"I said I wanted to meet your parents" He put his arm around her shoulders.

She paused, "Deuce, I have something to tell you…"

"What's wrong, babe?"

"On Saturday is the anniversary of our parents' deaths." she confessed.

"What?"

"Mom died during our childbirth and when we were 13, dad…he killed himself on mom's anniversary." She sighed.

When Harriet tried to kill herself, she told me that she thought that's what people do when things get too hard for them, like dad living without mom. Thankfully, I wasn't going to leave my sister any time soon. Sighing with a soft smile at the thought of always keeping her safe, I walked down the hall.

"Well, someone looks happy…I might just start hacking up hairballs."

Crap.

"Fuck off, cat." I glared at Toralei Stripe.

"So, I heard little Harri-bunny's preggos." she smirked. "Looks like that innocent act she had been just to hide how much of a slut she really was."

"Don't you ever call her that, you bitch! I spiked the punch, it's my fault this happened!" I snapped.

"I bet that she'd be better off without you. I mean, you did cause every bad thing that's happened so far. Clawd cheated with you, earning her the reputation since you two look so much alike. You made her slit her wrists. You got her drunk, therefore, you got her pregnant. You are the reason why she's in a living hell."

It was true. I did this to her…I tried to protect her and all I did was the exact opposite. My fists clench as anger raged through my body, a thread of resistance holding me back from taking her nine lives. She walked around me, circling me as her tail swished from side to side behind her. Her emerald eyes burning into me, pleased to see my weakness.

"I need you to do something for me." she purred.

"I'm not doing anything for a piece of shit like you." I growled back.

"Oh, I think you will…otherwise…" She stepped closer to whisper in my ear. "…I'll tell her why she's in hell."

My eyes widened, my jaw dropping and my fists unclenching. If Harriet knew, she'd never trust me again and leave me. The only girl I've loved in my life…my other half…would be gone forever. Taking in a deep breath, I composed my self and spoke.

"What do you want me to do?"

What does Toralei want Harley to do? Will Harriet find out? Will something happen at the anniversary? Will you review? I hope that'll be a 'yes'. Stay tuned!
