Yes guys, pixies! I went there :)
DISCLAIMER: *I am ranting about men*
Me: MEN ARE STUPID! VERY VERY STUPID!
Noah: Yes we are. We like to annoy you for the fun of it and make you want to kill us for no other reason than we set the table wrong.
Me: SO YOU ARE THE ONE THAT PUT THE FORK TO THE RIGHT OF THE KNIFE!?
Noah: YES I DID. I ALSO KNOW THAT YOU DON'T OWN DARKEST POWERS. IT BELONGS TO KELLEY ARMSTRONG. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT THAT!?
Me: *Smiles cruelly* Torture you in this chapter to come. Remember I am the reason why Melody hit you.
Chloe's Point of View
I woke up to sunlight streaming in through the window.
Morning already? I am still tired.
I remembered Melody's words from the night before... when did this stuff start? I was going to need to do research and fast.
I got up and grabbed my shower things and took a quick ten minute shower.
As soon as I was dressed I headed to the kitchen for something to eat. In the safehouse we didn't have a specific breakfast time, but there was always something around to eat. At the moment only Melody was in the kitchen eating waffles and reading a book. I grabbed a blueberry muffin and sat down next to her.
"What are you reading?" I asked.
She lifted up the book and I read the title Werewolves Vol.5 and gave her a confused look.
She rolled her eyes and said, "There are encyclopedias in the library on werewolves. There are 10 volumes. Number 5 is all about mating."
"Shh.... what if Derek hears?" I asked.
"He won't because he is going for his morning run." Melody said.
"Alright, so what did you find out?" I asked.
"I found out something scary as hell." Melody said.
"WHAT!?" I asked, shouting.
"Calm down, it's not good for the babies." Melody said.
"Babies?" I asked, trying very hard to keep quiet and calm.
"Werewolves kind of have super wolfy sperm that usually produces more than one pup."
"PUP?" I asked, getting louder.
"Shush if someone wakes up they will hear you." Melody said.
"Okay, pup? And won't someone notice you reading that?" I asked.
"A pup is what one wolf baby is called, Pups is what many wolf babies are called, and it's me I can start talking about a zebra-starfish hybrid and people will just think I had too much candy." Melody said.
I was going to have more than one child. No way, not good at all. I don't even think I can raise one baby let alone two or three or even four.
"How many is normal?" I asked.
"2-4 babies per pregnancy." Melody said.
"Oh my god." I said.
"I also did some normal baby research. The whole being tired thing can start as early as the first week so you are at the right time for that. Expect morning sickness to come very soon because it can actually begin somewhere between the 2-8 week. You can also get backaches starting in early pregnancy that might last throughout. But a good bonus of pregnancy is that your breasts get bigger so you might be able to move out of the training bra section. Also you might get headaches and dizziness, but that is with normal babies." Melody said.
Translation: Genetically modified babies are unpredicatable.
"I do not wear training bras." I said. "And when did you find this out?" I asked.
"I woke up around three in the morning." Melody said.
"Do you ever sleep?" I asked.
"Nope." Melody said.
"Good because you are doing the three A.M. feedings, and yes I am buying good old formula so shut it." I said.
"Only if I live with you in a house that has a marble staircase." Melody said.
"Marble? Why marble?" I asked.
"It feels nice and cold in the winter so it wakes up the sleepy person." Melody said.
"Whatever." I said. "Did you research any names?"
"Nope, that I refuse to do. It is a strictly you and Derek thing." Melody said.
"Great, so when are werewolf babies born? Do they do the whole nine months thing?" I asked.
"Seven months, give or take a month depending how many babies you are pregnant with." Melody said.
We heard the door slam and Derek walked in.
"Hi Derek." Melody said.
Derek ignored her and took a water bottle out of the fridge and left.
Melody cast a silencing spell on the kitchen.
"When he finds out you are preggers can I kick him?" Melody asked.
"Why?" I asked.
"He ignored me, I am the happy yet scary blonde girl, I do not get ignored." Melody said.
"Sure..." I said, unsure.
"I really am having babies? I really am going to keep them? And I really have to tell Derek?" I asked.
"Yep." Melody said.
"Remove the silence spell, I don't want Derek to suspect anything is wrong." I said.
"Nothing is wrong exactly, you are just having his little mini D's." Melody said.
"Don't call them that." I said.
"Why?" Melody asked.
"It sounds like a low calorie snack." I said.
Melody giggled and then removed the silencing spell.
We ate in silence and she silently read. Her facial expressions were quite interesting to read. They ranged from happy, to horrified, to discusted, to fear. I would find it funny if she wasn't making those faces because of information on what was currently growing inside me.
After we were finished eating more people came down the stairs for breakfast. As Melody and I were making our way to the library I bumped into Tzigana. Tzigana was a seventy year old gypsy that had visions and sensed things. Apparently gypsies exist as well but aren't well known for their magic. She took her powers to presence as well. Her usual hairstyle was her long white hair braided with a black cord running through, she had a bandana wrapped around her head. She wore frilled shirts and skirts all the time.
She touched my face and in a raspy voice said, "It will all work out child. They will grow up wielding wondrous power." and walked away.
"What was that about?" Simon asked, he had been on his way to the kitchen.
"Nothing. Now go." Melody said.
"Why? Chloe looks scared. Are you worried about all of us and our powers or something that she sensed?" Simon asked.
"Simon, it's nothing. Now go eat something. You don't want to have your blood sugar get too low." I said.
"You and Derek really need to lighten up about that. You two need to relax." Simon said.
"Oh trust me they really don't know how, but Chloe does know a great way to reduce stress." Melody said.
I glared at her. If looks could kill she would be exploded and decorating the safehouse walls by now. Oooh... what a colourful death.
"Umm... alright?" Simon said, confused and unsure.
"Bye Simon." I said, almost dragging Melody to the library.
Once we were in the library alone I started getting angry at her. "Are you nuts? You might as well start singing it!" I half-shouted.
"Not a bad idea..." Melody said. "Derek and Chloe did it let us all say woo hoo woo hoo."
She said it with Statstruck By 3oh3 as her tune.
I picked up a book and raised it above her head.
"Alright I will shut up." Melody said.
Derek and I really didn't like the idea that Melody knew about us. Derek said it was because she would tell someone, I say it's because she never lets you forget it, but she had a good heart and tried to do the right thing so she was a good friend. Also with her around I looked normal.
I looked around. The library was my favourite place in the whole house. There was a huge dark wood table in the middle of the room with 6 chairs surrounding it, bookshelves of all different dark shades were placed in four different star formations in the four corners of the room. There were three sofas that were placed randomly in the room. Two of the sofas were red and one was black. The floor was black carpet, and the walls were a nice burgundy colour. Interesting for a library.
We were both planning to do a little silent reading about this and then compare notes later when Derek was out. Unfortunately, life hated me so it didn't work out like that.
Not even ten minutes after we had settled on the black sofa with a few books did Noah come in with a screaming Tori after him and a laughing Simon after her.
"I didn't mean to do it!" Noah said, trying to defend himself.
"Didn't mean to?! DIDN'T MEAN TO? OH TRUST ME YOU MEANT TO." Tori said, screaming.
"What happened?" Melody asked, getting up.
"Idiot dumb whoreboy over there is an ass! He destroyed all my new shoes! LOOK AT THIS!" Tori screamed.
She held up part of what was once a shoe. The heel was completely broken off, the straps were hanging off at odd angles, the metal buckles were either cracked or melted.
"Why did you murder the shoe Noah?" Melody asked.
"It wasn't intentional. She was acting like a spoiled little bitch again and I threw the shoe into the wall but accidentally let some of my power go." Noah said.
Using his powers he could cut anyone or anything from the inside-out. Human or not.
"Tori, it might have been an accident." I said.
"It wasn't! Why are you believing him?! Little Chloe, Miss Ray OF FUCKING SUNSHINE AND CAREBEARS!" Tori screamed.
"Okay, Tori. You need to calm down." Melody said, walking over and standing in front of me protectively.
"OF COURSE PROTECT HER!" Tori screamed, lightning running over her body.
Instinctively my hands went to my still flat stomach.
"Yes I will protect her. Have a problem with that Victoria?" Melody said.
"If you don't have a problem with this." Tori said, and she shot a lightning bolt at us.
Melody formed a blue shield around her hands and the lightning bolt went at a 90 degree angle right through the ceiling.
"HEY!" Emy screamed.
"Sorry!" Melody shouted.
Tori screamed and walked out, punching Noah on her way out.
"OW! Right where Melody punched me. I think my nose is broken! OWWWW.." Noah screamed.
"Well don't whine anymore. Go find the shaman and get your pervy ass healed." Melody said.
Simon looked at me confused for a second and then walked out.
"Mel. YOU ARE SO FIXING THAT HOLE!" Emy screamed.
"In a sec." Melody said. "Are you okay?"
"Fine. Now go, before Emy calls the pixies." I said.
Later that day I was walking to Melody's room to talk because Derek was out running. He did this as something to keep himself calm and in control of the inner wolf. Then Simon stuck his head out his door and asked if he could talk to me for a second.
"Simon, I can't. I have to talk to Melody about something." I said.
"Melody can wait. I really need to talk to you." Simon said. "Please?"
"Fine. Just a moment." I said, walking into his room.
I feel the need to just say that I am an idiot. I walk into guys rooms because they want to talk, but when do we really ever talk about the pretty rainbows and chocolate chips? NEVER. One of three things happen. #1: The acitivity that knocked me up. (Though it is rare, and has been done once) #2: A massive discussion that makes us all scream "DAMN!" or #3: The odd sweet boy attempts at relationship advances that just lead to me being like "What?" and then someone saying "He likes you, and as more than a friend."
"So w-w-what's up?" I asked.
"Um... well, nothing really... just..." Simon started, not sure how to say whatever it was that he was trying to say.
"Simon, just say it." I said, getting nervous.
"Okay. But first I want to say I am so sorry if I jumped to conclusions and that I apologize and that you have every right to be angry at me but I hope you don't stay angry for too long because I think you are a great person. I just feel like I should ask this so that way I can be sure, but if you get so upset that you feel like you want to kill me, feel free to slap away..." Simon said, rambling.
"Simon!" I shouted.
"Right. Are you pregnant?" Simon asked, raising his hands above his head in case I tried to hit him.
See like I said. Always one of three things. I was in for a good number two.
"What?" I asked.
"Are you pregnant?" Simon asked.
"W-W-What would make y-y-you think t-t-that?" I asked.
"Everything. Chloe I like you a lot so I observe things. I saw you freaking out about things, I heard what the gypsy said, what Melody said about your stress and her protecting you, and I saw your hands go to your stomach without you even thinking about it. So are you pregnant?" Simon asked.
What do I say? Do I tell him 'no' that I am not pregnant? Could I really lie to him about this and then have him find out in less than a month anyway after he started to like me more? Or do I say 'yes' which will raise a lot more questions. Like "Who's the father?" and "When did this happen?" and if I answered the first question "Why Derek?" and then "Why didn't you two tell me? So I could get hurt all the more when I did find out?"
"Chloe, if you are angry I am sorry but I just want to know, but I get why you seem kind of shocked by this because I don't think you'd go and have sex with just anyone when you barely knew them on one of the times you were out of the safehouse and nobody around here has slept with you because nobody really looks at you any differently... and because I asked Derek." Simon said.
Oh. My. Fucking. GOD!
"Y-Y-You asked Derek if I had s-s-s-sex with someone in the h-house!? Or if I was P-P-PREGNANT!?" I screamed.
"NO! I didn't. I just asked him if you and any of the boys in the house were talking a lot or flirting." Simon said.
"And? What did your little spy say?" I asked.
"He said that I should mind my own business and that nobody new has taken a romantic interest in you. Now, for the third time, are you pregnant?" Simon said.
Nobody new, so he didn't reveal anything but he didn't lie either. Smart.
Before I could stop myself I blurted out "Y-Yes."
"You are..." Simon whispered.
"Y-Y-Y-Yea I am." I said.
"Who is the father?" Simon asked, emotionless.
"J-Just leave it alone for now Simon." I said.
Simon started to look angry.
"I won't. I have been inviting you to watch movies, we have been working on the whole graphic novel together, we have talked and I even played basketball with you which is not easy considering you nearly snapped my neck with that pass that went horribly wrong. Not once did you tell me you slept with someone and not once did you tell me that you wanted to just be my friend. In fact you never said a word about it, or even hinted at it, and you didn't stop any of my attempts at flirting all the while you were sleeping with someone." Simon said.
"It was once and it was a snap decision." I said.
Simon looked at me searching for something, and I guess he found it because his face took on a fresh look of anger.
"You love him!? The person who knocked you up." Simon said, he shouted the first bit.
I started crying. Stupid damn tears.
Simon noticed.
"Look. I am sorry. Who is it? And how'd you get it past Derek? That guy knows everything." Simon said.
I looked at Simon in a way that said he already had the answer and I could see the wheels turning in his head and then his eyes clouded over in anger.
"Nobody new... it was Derek. Derek is the father..." Simon whispered.
Heehee... Mini D's...
