I finally got Chapter 2 done! I'll be posting less frequently these days. School's starting, so who knows when I will have time for writing fanfiction? But I'm hoping to get this fanfic done by Halloween, or at least before the year end.

Thank you, thank you for all the reviews I've gotten! (Thanks especially to Pola for pointing out my mistakes. Also thanks to my extra-faithful reviewers who continually encourage me; you know who you are.)

Sadie's Age: still 19-going-on-20

Pregnant: 6 weeks

Chapter 2

I stared at my reflection in the mirror.

I didn't look like a mother. With the newly-dyed pink streak in my hair, I looked like a rebellious teenager. Still.

I had to keep telling myself that, technically, this wasn't considered "teen pregnancy." I was still nineteen, but in a few weeks, I would be turning twenty. I wondered if Dad would make me and Carter go visit him and Mom in the Duat. I hoped Dad wouldn't invite us, but not because I didn't miss my parents. I just couldn't go, much less face Anubis.

To be honest, the only reason getting pregnant was a horrible event was Anubis. Both Carter and I had already graduated from college; our relationship with the House of Life made it easy for us to get degrees in Egyptology. So, as a part-time high school teacher and an Egyptian magician, having and raising a child wasn't a problem.

I didn't know why I couldn't tell Anubis. He would have found out anyways. But it just seemed wrong for me to tell him. How would he react? And even if he knew, what could he do? Send child support checks to me from the Duat?

Flashback

"Anubis, tell me the truth, please!" I begged Anubis.

"What do you want to know?"

"Who was Anput? Who was Ke-something?"

Anubis chuckled. "So you're suspicious? I've always been… an important god," he paused. "Remember when I once told you how lonely I was? Well, the Egyptian people decided to create someone for me—a female. They believed that, but in truth, it was merely a—"

"What?"

"A prediction."

I rolled my eyes, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "Wow! That makes me feel so much better."

"Really? I knew it! Now aren't you going to ask me if my wife is good-looking?"

I glared at him. I couldn't tell if he was lying to me or not, I could only feel fury stirring inside me. But he smirked, so I decided to play along. "Fine, is she bloody gorgeous?"

"Yes! She has pretty strawberry blonde hair, blue eyes that are—" He couldn't help grinning.

"Okay, okay! I get—"

"Oh, and did I mention that she has a colored streak in her hair? She likes to change the color frequently, too." By that time, I was ready to smack him in the face.

"Right… so then, what about your daughter?"

"I don't know. How am I supposed to know if we have kids or not, much less a girl?" 'We' made me tingle inside.

A girl? "Ew, I do not want to think about this."

"Live in the present, not the future."

End flashback

I sighed. Someone was knocking on my door.

"Sadie, may I come in?" Bast asked.

"Yes, Bast."

She plopped down on my bed, next to me. "Sadie, I know what happened."

I stared at her. "What?"

"I know," she hesitated for a moment, "that you're...pregnant."

Carter. I sighed, "Carter told you?"

Bast paused.

"It's fine."

"Alright. I came to tell you that. Also, your parents have invited you for a visit on your birthday." She looked at me for a reaction.

I shut my eyes, tight. Everything seemed to have been falling down on me. A visit? I opened my eyes. Bast was concerned for me, that was true. But how much did she know? Did she know about Anubis? Carter wouldn't have told her that too, right?

A/N: Wwaayyy too short. I was in a rush when I wrote this. Next chapter will be longer and better.

I need a name for their kid! I'm horrible at naming OCs, so if you have a good name, write it in a review or PM me. I can't update if I don't have a name! Female names would be best.

PLEASE REVIEW, OR ELSE ANUBIS WILL BE PLANNING YOUR FUNERAL! XD
