Hello peoples. How are you today, or night depending on where you are? Here's chapter eleven and as always, I don't own the covenant. :( Really quite sad actually

Chapter ten

Beth woke up at one in the afternoon. She smelt something that was absolutely mouthwatering. Without opening her eyes, she inhaled deeply. She rolled under the blankets.

"Good morning sunshine. How was your sleep," asked Tyler, while walking over to the bed with a plate full of food.

"It was good, but it would be better if I could have some food," she said from under the covers.

"If you'd come out, then you would know that I was bringing this to you. Get out here if you want it." She felt his weight on the mattress. She kicked the covers down and sat up. He was holding a plate with bowtie noodles, sliced chicken, tomatoes and parmesan cheese sauce, and cheese toast. She scooted over and took the plate from him, grabbing the fork and scooping up a huge bite. "Mmmm... Did Steph come over here? She makes this all the time."

"Yep. She said she had made too much for her and Reid, so she brought it over for us. I normally don't like pasta, but that was really good." He snatched her fork and took a bite.

"Hey, that's mine. Thanks so much," she said while taking the fork back. She took another couple of bites before saying, "She's lying. She knew that I would want this. She made 'extra' on purpose. That's why I love her." She sighed in contentment.

"And you're quite sure you're not gay. You never talk about me like that," he said with a slightly resentful, yet still playful face.

"That's just because you're always with me and when your not, then I talk like that about you to everyone else. I love you so much. I think it actually gets on peoples' nerves."

"I love you too. It's the same for me, only I'm usually surrounded by guys so it's a little weird."

"Ohhhhh, you love me that much. What do you love the most?" She gave a sweet and playful smile. He took her plate and set it on the night stand. He lay down beside her and drew her in his arms. He kissed her on the neck.

"I love the way you smile." A kiss on the cheek. "I love the way you feel in my arms." A kiss on the forehead. "I love the way you always smell so sweet and intoxicating." A kiss on the tip of her nose. "I love the way you look at me like I'm the only one in the world." A kiss right below her lips. "And I absolutely love the way you say 'I love you'." He kissed her gently on her lips. She forgot to breathe for a few seconds. When she pulled back, she was panting, and asked after catching her breath, "Do you know what I love about you?" He shook his head no so she looked him in the eyes. "I love the way you hold me." She ran her hands up his arms, resting them on his shoulders. "I love that you are so strong and protective." She rolled him over and sat on his stomach. "I love the way you are completely honest." His face fell slightly but he ignored it as she kissed him on his neck and scraped her fingers down his back. "And I love that you only look at me no matter where we are and who is around us." She kissed him on his lips, this time, remembering to breathe. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip. He slid his hand under her shirt, but then what she had said replayed in his mind. 'I love the way that you are completely honest.' He knew she had no idea about his secret, but he was still ready to bust.

"Beth wait," he said, and she pulled back from his shirt.

"I'm sorry. I thought you wanted to. I'm sorry." She looked sheepish.

"No, it's not you, and I did, but I just remembered I have to meet the guys. I cant miss or they'll freak. I'm sorry. I love you. I'll be back soon and we can pick back up where we were." He smiled and kissed her on the top of the head before rushing out the door. Beth sat there dumbfounded. He had never left her like that. She felt a little hurt. She thought she knew him, but she guessed not.

***********************************************************************

"Reid, pick up the damn phone. Hurry up." Tyler was practically running down the hallway, and had whipped out his cell phone. He had to tell Beth. He couldn't lie any more. Reid finally picked up on the fourth ring of the third try.

"Whadafukduyewaunt?" Tyler could tell he had woken him up.

"Get your ass up and out of the bed, then get over to the barn. Don't ask questions just go." He sent the same message to Caleb and Pogue. Ten minutes later, they were all gathered in the old Puttnam barn.

"Is everyone ok? What happened?" Caleb always just naturally assumed the role of leader. Tyler was pacing back and forth, wearing a path in the dirt.

"Why did you tell Sarah," he asked while looking at Caleb.

"What?" Caleb looked a bit confused.

"Why, why did you tell her? You didn't know if' you would be with her forever. What made you do it?" Tyler had a very intense look on his face.

"Are you serious? I left Steph for this. Fuck this shit. I'm going home," said Reid.

"I'm thinking about telling Beth and it affects all of us. Caleb, why did you tell her?"

"Because I trusted her and it was getting dangerous and I wanted her to know what she was getting involved in."

"Why did you tell Kate?" (Let's pretend she knows) Tyler turned his gaze on Pogue.

"Because we've been together since eighth grade. I thought she had a right to know."

"I feel the same way about Beth. I can't lie to her. It's not right. She trusts me too much for her own good but I can't do it. If you don't want me to mention you guys I don't have to, but she'll figure it out anyways. I'm sorry." He stopped pacing and looked at his shoes.

"It's ok man. If you think she needs to know, then tell her," Pogue said.

"Wait, I don't think he should. He's right, this affects the rest of us," Reid objected.

"Don't be such a douche man. It's his right if he wants to."

"Well I don't like it."

"Too bad. You're the only one who has a problem with it. So deal. You can tell her. It's fine. Just know what you're doing," warned Caleb.

"So that's it. Just know what you're doing. If it was me, you'd be bitching like a pms chick," said Reid.

"That's because you don't think about all of the consequences. I believe Tyler hears when we talk to him, so I'm not gonna freak on him. Yeah, it's a double standard, but we trust him a little more. So, oh well," said Pogue.

Reid turned red, and then calmed down. "Do whatever. But let her figure it out about us, please."

"K. I can do that. I will do that. Thanks. By the way, I'm sorry I freaked you guys out. My bad." He looked at the guys again.

"It's okay dude. Just never do it again unless it's an emergency. I left Kate and I was about to."

"Don't finish that thought. Don't want to know." They all laughed and headed out to their cars.

"Ok, if you get totally freaked out phone calls asking if you're part of a secret coven of magic users, don't be worried." Tyler climbed into the hummer laughing. Reid climbed in the other side.

"So you're really gonna tell her?" Reid looked over at his favorite brother.

"Yep. I think she can handle it." Reid examined Tyler. He had never been serious about any girl before. He wondered if he would ever have what his three best friends had. He doubted it. He was Reid-always has a date-never in love-fucking-Garwin. Why should he change? Who could change him? The rest of the ride passed in silence as Reid thought about Stephani and Tyler thought of what he was going to say to Beth. When they got there, Tyler followed Reid, going to his own dorm as Reid entered Steph and Beth's dorm.

"Hey," Reid called down the hall. Tyler turned around to see Reid running up to him. "Steph's not in there. You mind if I go and check your dorm?"

"Sure." They walked down the hall and Tyler unlocked the door. He knew something was wrong. He saw the plate from earlier flipped over by the night stand and heard multiple voices coming from the bathroom. He recognized them all. Steph and Kate were standing in the doorway and Sarah was bent over what could only be Beth. He heard vomiting and him and Reid just stared. Kate heard the door shut and turned around.

"Oh my God. Tyler, I don't know what happened. She just called us and asked if we wanted to hang out, so we all came. We got here, she took a bite of that pasta stuff, and she ran to the bathroom. She's been in there hugging the toile for about twenty minutes. We tried calling all of you guys but nobody answered." She looked frightened. Tyler rushed past her and around the bed. Steph stepped out of his way and Sarah turned around. She had tied back Beth's hair and was now rubbing her back while running a wet wash cloth over her face, which looked difficult, seeing as Beth's head was buried in the toilet. "I don't know what's wrong. She stopped a few times, but then it started again. I called the nurse. She said she'd be here in about ten minutes. That was five minutes ago." He bent down and ran a hand over Beth's back. She looked up at him. She was pale and looked zombie like.

"Go, I don't want you to see this," she said feebly. She put a hand on his chest and pushed, but he just held her hand in his own. She smiled weakly, then him and Sarah both grimaced as she snapped back towards the bowl and started dry heaving.

"Oh my God, is there anything we can do," he asked no one in particular. At that time, there was a knock on the door. Reid rushed over and slung it open looking very intense. The little nurse looked startled, but then smoothed her shirt and walked in. She looked towards the bathroom and walked over. She looked at Sarah.

"How long has she been like this?"

"It started about twenty minutes ago and has been on and off since then. Do you think she's going to be ok?" The nurse looked at her. "I don't know. She might have just eaten something bad, but it might be worse than that. We'll take her to the infirmary just in case. Can you sit up," she asked gently to Beth. Beth leaned back into Tyler's legs. She had tears coming down her cheeks.

"I'll carry her. Just give her a second." He took the rag from Sarah and wiped her face. She leaned into the touch and sighed. She used the toilet and stood up. Her legs were shaking, so Tyler quickly scooped her up. She felt lighter than usual and looked like a little kid. They all moved out of the way as he walked to the door. Kate opened it as Sarah put another rag on Beth's forehead. Once in the hallway, Tyler took long quick steps and led the way to the elevator. The nurse practically had to run to keep up with him. She poked the elevator door and he stepped in. once in the lobby, he took over again. He was at the door to the school's med station in about five minutes, even though it was halfway across the campus. She opened that door and he laid Beth down gently on the nearest bed. Right away, she took Beth's temperature and blood pressure. He stood back as one of the doctors came in. At that moment, she leaned over the edge and started dry heaving again. Tyler watched helplessly as the doctor put a container under her, even though nothing was nothing coming out. Once she had stopped, the doctor turned to the nurse and she read her stats to him.

"Temperature is normal, as is her b.p. I can't medically find anything wrong, other than she keeps vomiting." She looked puzzled.

As if on cue, Beth threw up, and Tyler almost died when he saw it was blood. The nurse called two others to help. They started hooking her up to tubes and machines. The doctor started taking her blood, and then turned to Tyler.

"We'll try to get this done tonight and see what's wrong. You can stay or go back, either way is fine. Call if you need us or if she starts vomiting again." After the doctor left, Tyler occupied the plastic seat by the bed. Beth hadn't opened her eyes since she had talked to him in the bathroom. Now, thirty minutes after he had sat down, her eyelids slid open slowly and her eyes looked dazed.

"Tyler," she said more as a sigh than an actual word.

"I'm right her baby girl," he said, reaching out and stroking her forehead. She smiled and he asked "How do you feel? Do you need anything?"

"I feel awesome, but I could use some water," she said. She could always make bad situations a little better. "Is your throat ok," he asked while handing her a paper cup of water.

"Yeah, why wouldn't it me?" She looked confused. He answered "Hmmm… it couldn't possibly be because you just puked for thirty minutes, the last five of which was blood. So I have no idea."

"Oh, well I don't either. So I guess we're just crazy."

He smiled before his face fell and he said "I have to tell you something. I think this is the best time for a couple of reasons. One, you can't run away. Two, if you go into shock, there are doctors on standby. And three, you might not remember, depending on how much morphine you have."

"Okaaaay… go ahead. Wait, you're not gay are you?"

"What? No," he smirked. "This morning you said that I'm always completely honest. It's not totally true."

"Oh my God, you have another girlfriend. I knew it was too good to be true. Dammit."

"NO! Now would you please stop guessing," he asked as he placed a finger over her lips. "You have got to hear me out and keep an open mind. No interruptions please."

"Ok. No interruptions. I promise," she added as he raised his eyebrows.

"Ok. I don't know how to say this so I'll just come right out. During the Salem witch hunts, five families of witches came to America and settled Ipswich. From then on, the oldest male of those families have inherited the power. They have the power to do whatever they want. The fifth family disappeared about a generation ago, making me the youngest of the families." He looked at her. She just stared, dumbfounded.

"But wouldn't that make you..."

"Yeah. It does. But don't be freaked out. It's just something we can't control. It's that part of genetics that nobody ever studied," he said with a smile.

"So what you want me to believe is, basically, you're a warlock from a family of them dating back a hundred years?"

"Yeah… pretty much." He stared for a second. She looked confused, and then she fell back against the pillow. Her mouth was hanging open. He moved to close it. She swatted his hand away and snapped her mouth shut. She looked like he had tried to shock her.

"I'm sorry. I thought you'd take it this way. I understand if you don't want to see me anymore. But if you don't, please don't tell anyone."

"You really think that just cause you're some weirdo freaky guy that you're going to get rid of me that easy. Not a chance." She smiled and his face lit up.

"You're serious. You're not completely freaked by this?"

"Well hell yeah I am, but I'm not going to leave you over it. Am I really that shallow?" She raised her eyebrows questioningly.

"No, but I know it's a lot to take in, and it's really weird. So you're really ok with this?"

"If you ask me one more time if I'm going to dump you, then I won't, but I will slap you into next week." She looked at him with a teasing look.

"Got it. So, are you starting to feel your throat again?"

"Yeah, and I'm starting to believe I threw up blood. Can you get me some more water?"

He went to the fountain right outside and filled her cup back up. When he turned around, he came face to face with Beth's doctor.

"Hello Mr. Simms. We have her blood work. Is she awake?"

"Yeah. She said she's fine, just a sore throat. Is she going to be ok?"

"Yes," he said walking into Beth's room. "However, I would like to speak to her alone."

Beth looked up. "Why?"

"Just procedure. It's the privacy policy."

"Well I'm just gonna tell him anyways. So you might as well save me the throat ache and just tell us both." She looked dead set so he turned to Tyler and motioned for him to sit. Tyler did at once, so the doctor turned back to Beth.

"How long have you been sexually active?"

"What?" Beth hated that saying almost as much as Juno. "Why does that matter?"

"Fine don't answer. But answer this. Do you always use safe sex? The pill and/or condoms."

"Does she have an STD?"

"No, but this is a relevant question. You've got to answer truthfully."

"Well yeah, I'm not stupid."

"Then we have a medical mystery." Beth took a drink of her water, "because you're pregnant," and Beth spit it back out and started to choke."

"What, that's not possible. My boyfriend always uses a condom."

"Well, you're about two weeks along. Are you absolutely sure?"

"Yes," cried Beth, her eyes wide.

"No," whispered Tyler and he put his face in his hands.

"What," she asked as she looked at him.

"The night you kissed Reid. We didn't use a condom," he said through his fingers. "Dammit, I so fucking stupid."

"Please watch your language. We are still on school grounds." Beth looked at the doctor.

"You're kidding right? We just found out I'm pregnant, and all you care about is his language. Fuck fuck fuckity shit." She was glaring and the doctor actually stepped back.

"I'm sorry," he said looking between the two of them. "I can give you phone numbers of different organizations. Consider all of your options. But for now, we have another thing to discuss. Your vomiting was actually morning sickness. It's not always this bad, but it's not unheard of. We can give you a prescription for medicine that will help control it. It can get worse then this, or get better, but I think you need them just in case."

"Ok. Thanks. Ummm… when can I go back to my dorms?"

"I guess as soon as I fill your chart out. I'll be back in a few minutes and you can go." He left the room and Tyler came and sat down on the edge of her bed.

"What are we gonna do," she asked him.

"I don't know. I've never really been in this situation before. I'm sorry," he said as he looked at her.

"For what?"

"If I hadn't tried to get back at you, this wouldn't have ever happened."

"It was both of us. Don't blame yourself."

"I will. This is my fault." He instantly froze.

"Your fault? So this was a fault of yours. That's nice. That's just awesome." She crossed her arms and glared at the opposite wall.

"No, that's not what I meant. It's just that I don't think we planned this. I'm sorry."

"Stop apologizing. It makes me feel bad. Because I know you're blaming yourself. Please don't." About that time, the doctor walked in.

"You're free to go, just sign right here." Beth signed her quick loopy signature and hopped up. She almost fell, but Tyler hooked his arm around her waist. The doctor raised his eyebrows.

"Take it easy, don't overdo it. And get the prescription as quickly as possible."

"I got it. Thank you," she said as she turned around and Tyler led her out the doors.

"Are we gonna tell them," she asked Tyler.

"I don't think we should until we decide what's going to happen."

"What do mean," she asked as she planted her feet in the ground and looked at him.

"Do you want to finish school, drop out, get married or what?"

"Well I'll do anything except abortion but I would like to finish school. Besides, I don't want you to propose just because you knocked me up." She looked exasperated.

"I know that, but if this hadn't have happened, and we were still together, I probably would have asked you anyways." He didn't look like he was joking.

"Are you serious," she asked. She had thought about that herself, but she didn't want to seem like some psycho obsessed girlfriend.

"Yeah, I am."

"Well, let's not tell them. And we talk about later, later."

"Ok. That's fine with me, as long as you're still there later." He smiled and then leaned down and kissed her on top of the head.

"Well, I say we go tell them that it was food poisoning and then go get my prescription filled."

"Works for me." They started towards the dorms as they both thought of what was going to happen. "Hey, I have a question."

"What," she asked as they stepped in the lobby.

"When you get all round and you start asking if you're fat, can I say no without you calling me a liar?" She slapped his arm. "Take that as a no," he said as they laughed.

"If it's a boy, I say we name it Logan." He looked down at her. She was smiling and at that moment, he realized just how determined she was, and that it would be ok. She would stay strong.

Bad ending, I know. I just ran out of steam. I don't know why, but I wanted her to have a baby. Should they get married? Or, should they just have the baby? Should they tell the others? Tell your ideas. I love your input. Review please. And just for you guys, check chapter eight. No condom. I told you it was important. Anywho, TTFN. Bye.
