Chapter 6
Everyone was up and talking, except Mai. Mia's cell phone then went off.
"Hello?" Mai said still not awake.
"I would like to temporary put boundaries on your mind." Charles replied.
"My answer is no Charles." Mai responded. "I'm going back to sleep now."
"I know about the baby." Charles replied.
"Fine. I'll be there in hour." Mai said giving up.
"See you then. Bye." Charles replied.
"Bye." Mai replied back before closing her cell phone.
Mai then heard laughing down stairs. I guess I'm missing out on some fun. I better get up and head down stairs. Mai thought as she crawled out of bed.

Briar, Carman, Yumi, Ariana, Peter, and Wade were all around the dinning table laughing.
"Wow. I never thought Mai would do that." Ariana stated laughing.
"Well, she's done that before just not on a job." Carman commented.
"I've done what before?" Mai asked walking and stopping at the sight of Wade.
"It's nothing." Wade answered smiling.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Mai asked unhappy.
"I want to talk to you." Wade answered smiling.
"Okay, I'll pretend to believe you. What do you want to talk about?" Mai asked putting on a fake smile.
"You're my wife. I want to know why you chose to leave." Wade answered. "And I know that you're faking that smile."
"I left because you wouldn't give me a divorce. Plus you pretty much slept with every woman you saw. Just so you know, we're not married. It was mating ritual, so it doesn't count in the United States." Mai replied as calmly as she could. "Anything else you would like to know?"
"Why don't you want to be married to me?" Wade asked.
"You don't care about me and you sleep with every female you see. You're not loyal or faithful, nor could you ever be. All you want is someone to have sex with. There's more to a relationship and marriage than that. We can't talk to each other without causing one of us to get angry and start a fight. You rather have sex than actually talk a problem out. So no, I'm not going to marry you even though I'm carrying a baby because of you." Mai answered irritated. "Now I don't have time to stand here and fight with you. I've got an appointment that I need to be at. I'll see all of you at lunch."
Mai left the room and Wade was stunned.
"Did she say what I think she said?" Wade asked trying to understand.
"Yes, she is carrying your child. And yes, she's mad at you." Briar answered getting up from the table.
"How long?" Wade asked a little worried.
"She's roughly two months and three weeks along." Carman answered following Briar. "It's yours since you're the only one she's slept with."

Mai walked through the front door of the mansion. I'm really in a bad mood. I need to hit something. Mai thought as she headed to the kitchen.
"Hey Mai." Logan said as Mai walk in and over to him. "Is everything all right?"
Mai then slapped Logan and walked over to the refrigerator.
"What the hell?" Logan asked watching Mai grab a soda.
"Wade is in town and I'm carrying his baby. Where's Charles?" Mai asked.
"Wait a minute, you're carrying Wade's baby?" Logan asked.
"Yes. And it's all because I chose to get dunk. Pretty much this is all Wade's fault. I wouldn't have gotten drunk if Wade hadn't been such an asshole." Mai answered upset. "Where's Charles?"
"You slapped Logan because you're pissed off at Wade. Why didn't you just hit Wade?" Scott asked.
"Because I was here when I felt like I needed to hit someone and Logan doesn't care. He'll get me back later. Now where's Charles?" Mai asked as she finished drinking her soda.
"Scott shut up." Logan stated angrily. "Why do you need Charles?"
"He wants to talk to me." Mai answered shrugging. "Are you going to tell me where he is?"
"Since I'm angry, not likely. Now why in the hell did you flirt with me knowing that you're carrying Wade's kid?" Logan asked.
"Did you ever think that it was because I want you not Wade? No you didn't. And thanks for telling me where Charles is." Mai answered placing her empty soda can on the counter and leaving the kitchen.
"Shit. I forgot that she reads minds." Logan spoke walking over, picking up the empty soda can, and crashing it.
"Does that mean she knew what I was thinking?" Scott asked.
Mai popped her head back in smiling. "Yes, I knew you were checking me out. I don't think you're wife would a prove."
Mai then left again, leaving Scott and Logan stunned.

Knock. Knock. Willoughby walked to the door and opened it. Wally was standing there with a smile on.
"Good to see you Wally. Please come in. I'll tell Briar that you're here." Willoughby stated as Wally walked in.
Willoughby shut the door and went to the theater room. "Briar. Wally is here."
Briar brighten up and got off the couch.
"Who's Wally?" Wade asked.
"Someone you're not ever meeting." Briar answered heading out the door.
Wally patiently waited for Briar in the living room. A few minutes later, Briar walked in.
"Hey. I thought you didn't have time to see me today?" Briar asked before kissing Wally.
Wally kissed back then pulled away little. "I made time. Now, where is the man that got your sister pregnant?"
"You're not meeting him." Briar answered moving away from Wally.
"Why not? I've met everyone else." Wally asked.
"Because he's a son of a bitch and cheats a lot. Trust me, you don't want to meet him." Briar answered sitting on the couch.
"Don't want him to meet whom?" Wade asked walking in smiling.
Briar growled.
"Apparently you." Wally answered walking over and sitting next to Briar.
"You must be Wally. I'm Wade." Wade replied proudly.
"Good to meet you. How long have you know Briar and her family?" Wally asked.
"I've known them for a while. You two enjoy each other." Wade laughed then left the room.
"Jerk." Briar replied sticking her tongue out.

"Hey Charles." Mai said walking over to him in the medical room.
"Hello Mai." Charles replied.
"Lets just get this over with." Mai replied back unhappy.
"Is something wrong?" Charles asked.
"Yah, Logan knows about me carrying Wade's baby and he's angry." Mai sighed. "Do I have to come see you again when the baby is out or can you just have them go away when the baby comes out?"
Charles sighed. "You're going to need to come back to me."
"Great." Mai groaned.
"Charles don't you dare." Logan ordered coming in.
"Logan you don't control me. I'll do whatever the hell I want." Mai replied. "Yes I know that you're angry with me. I'm sorry, but there's really nothing I can do about it. Charles I think I'll come back when I know that I'm not going to get killed by Logan."
"You're letting him use you. Have you met Jean? He caged her powers." Logan replied back.
"Yes, I've met Jean." Mai answered.
"Then don't let him do what he did to Jean to you." Logan ordered.
"Logan, I'm sorry. Goodbye Charles." Mai replied then left.
Mai hurried out of the mansion, went straight to her car, and pulled out of the driveway.

"Hey Bruce. Carman do you want to know something interesting about Bruce?" Yumi asked as Bruce and Clark walked into the theater room.
"Sure." Carman answered.
"He's batman." Yumi said smiling.
"Excuse me?" Carman replied.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, but he seriously is batman. If you don't believe me, talk to Mai. She'll gladly tell you the truth." Yumi answered still smiling.
"If that's true, I definitely need to burn that part of the house down. Bruce, get the hell out." Carman ordered.
"No. Why do you have to burn part of the house down if I'm batman?" Bruce asked.
"Because she hates you. It's sad that she likes your other personality." Yumi answered laughing.
"Yumi, that's rude!" Ariana commented.
"It's true!" Yumi exclaimed.
"I'm staying out of this one." Wade stated.
Wally and Peter nodded in agreement.
"Bruce, get the hell out." Carman ordered again.
"No." Bruce firmly replied.
Clark shook his head and took a few steps away from Bruce. "You shouldn't have said that."
"Why not?" Bruce asked turning to Clark.
Carman got up, punched Bruce in the face, grabbed his right arm, and began to throw his sorry ass out of the theater room.
"What was that for?" Bruce asked shocked.
"You're getting the hell out of my house." Carman answered.
Bruce stopped and jerked his right arm back, causing Carman to stop and face him.
"That's doesn't explain why you punched me in the face and I'm here to deliver a message." Bruce calmly stated.
"You're a jackass. What's the message?" Carman asked getting more irritated.
"I'm to tell you and Briar." Bruce answered as Briar came down the hall.
Carman ignored Bruce. "Briar, what's wrong?"
"Mai's in the hospital." Briar answered hurrying pass them.
"Jackass." Carman spoke as she slapped Bruce and then followed Briar out the front door.
