Chapter 7

Ian's POV

I could see people stare at me as I blazed past them face white and tears in my eyes. I was lost in my own head by thoughts swimming too hard to decipher.

Why was my life such a mess, nothing ever seemed to go right and it was one thing after the other constantly. First I fell in love with a soul; that caused a lot of problems for sure. Then if that wasn't enough that soul was in a body that belonged to one of my best friends and now things finally seemed to be working out with me and Wanda it turns out I have another woman pregnant when the only person I've slept with in the past few years is Wanda, albeit in Mel's body.

I was brought out of my thoughts by Lucinda and Trudy who it seemed I'd walked straight into whilst contemplating my complicated life.

"Excuse me wouldn't go amiss" Trudy shouted as I stormed off without saying sorry.

I needed to tell someone about what was happening but who could I turn too. Normally when I had a problem I would go to my Wanda. As a soul she listened to what I had to say without interrupting and always thought about how I was being affected. I also liked the fact that I didn't have to worry about everyone else finding out because souls were good people and didn't spread gossip like other people in the caves I knew *cough* Kyle.

That was it!

How did I not think of this person before, Sunny!

Sunny was a soul just like Wanda. Yes she was under the influence of my idiot brother Kyle but i have faith that she won't tell anyone if I tell her in confidence.

It didn't take long to find Sunny. When she wasn't tailing Kyle or hanging on to the end of his arm she was in the kitchen with Lily helping with the food. She tried to avoid the busiest places to work such as the fields because she was scared of Aaron and Brandt and Jared as well at that; not that he'd be there today.

She looked up from the bread dough she was kneading and gave me a tentative smile. I still think she was slightly wary of me from all the times she'd seen me grab Kyle in a headlock.

"Oh hey Ian" Lily exclaimed.

I nodded curtly in her direction still to shocked to act normal

"Sunny" I asked my voice hoarse as it came out

"Ian" she replied a little nervous

"Erm...Would it be possible to speak with you alone for a while. I have something I need to talk with you about and I'm sure Lily could cope without you for a little while"

Lily looked at me intently analysing me facial expressions. She seemed to see something there and turned to Sunny with a concerned look on her face.

"Sunny I think you should go with Ian for a bit. I'll be fine here, there's not much left here to do anyway" Lily said to Sunny

"Please Sunny" I added.

Something in my voice must have worked with Sunny. She went from looking nervous to concern and I hoped that she wouldn't mention this to Kyle.

"Yes sure Ian, just give me a second to clean myself up. If you want wait in Kyle and my room and I'll be there in a minute" Sunny walked over to the sink and started washing her hands and so I set off to their room as quickly as possible, opening their door and settling myself on their cot.

It didn't take Sunny long to make her way to the room. She entered the room looking a little apprehensive at first but in seeing the expression on my face she relaxed and surprised me my sitting right next to me.

"Are you okay Ian" Sunny asked.

"Not really Sunny" I answered as honestly as possible. "I have something I want to tell you..."

"Has something happened to Kyle...oh my god...where is he...is he with Doc?"

"No No nothing like that Kyle's fine" Sunny's shoulders relaxed.

"What is it the Ian, I can see that something is bothering you"

How did I start...what would she think of me?

"Okay..." I began "Don't judge me straight away Sunny. Hear me out first. I've come to you with this because it is something I cannot tell Wanda or anybody else so I'm trusting that you're going to keep this to yourself."

"Sure Ian, if that's what you want"

"That means you can't tell Kyle either, this is between you and me"

I looked up at Sunny and could see that this last bit bothered her. I could relate obviously, if someone asked me not too tell Wanda I'd feel uncomfortable too.

"Erm..."Sunny hesitated. I looked down at me purple dust stained jeans in dismay. She wouldn't want to keep Kyle in the dark. "Okay Ian, I promise."

My heart skipped a beat. I knew I could trust Sunny

"Okay then Sunny. The reason I need to speak to you is because I need your advice. I just found something out and I really do not know what to do"

"Do you want to tell me what it is or not" Sunny asked.

"Remember what I told you before, do not judge until you have let me finish" I drew in a deep breath and spoke the words I couldn't begin to even comprehend.

"Melanie is pregnant!"

"Really" squealed Sunny. A huge grin spread across her face and I was suddenly reminded of Jodi, the body Sunny used that used to belong to my brother's girlfriend. "Wow...that's good isn't it. Oh wait... Is Jared not happy, I know he didn't want to bring a child into all of this?"

"You're right there, Jared is not happy but that is not the reason why" I stated

Sunny looked confused

"Why then?"

"Because the baby is not his that's why...Its mi-i-ne" I stuttered that last bit out, stumbling over the fact that I was the father.

I saw the shock flit across Sunny's face.

"Yours"

"Wait...it was before Mel got her body back. On Wanda's last night Wanda and I spent the night together. I didn't even think about babies, I didn't know it was possible that Mel would be pregnant from that?"

"Did you use contraception" Sunny asked. I shook my head. "Well of course it's possible then Ian" she looked at me as if I were stupid.

"Were not barren you know. If I were to sleep with Kyle now I could have a baby because I have the use of all of this bodies functions...including the reproductive ones." She added

"Well I know that now" I stated. "What do I do Sunny? What about Wanda?"

Sunny looked at me for a moment, I couldn't read the expressions on her face.

"Look Ian. You're a good person and I know you won't shirk you're responsibilities. You've got to think about Mel in all this and not just you and Wanda. I mean think about it from her point of view. She wasn't even involved in the conception. She didn't even have a choice in all this and now she's told you and you've just lost it." This was the longest speech I'd ever heard Sunny give.

"Wanda will understand. Us souls are like that you know" she smiled at me as she said this and I know she was thinking about Kyle and herself. "This is as much Wanda's fault as it is yours and you need to accept the fact that the victim in all of this is actually Mel. Go talk to her, Wanda, Mel, either, but you have to sort this out because in nine months there is going to be someone else to think about."

Sunny was right. This wasn't Mel's fault and I had to go sort this out. Forget about the kiss and think about what she is going through. I could do that

"Thank you Sunny"

Kyle's POV

I moved quicker than I'd ever moved before. I didn't want Ian to catch me ear pressed against the door.

I couldn't believe my brother had gotten Mel pregnant. Oh Jared was going to kill him. But worst of all he had slept with that thing. Wanda.

I know that I was with Sunny now and that I even cared for her but I would never sleep with her, she wasn't really my Jodi and if I found a way to get Jodi back tomorrow I wouldn't hesitate to send Sunny off to another planet. A nice one of course, because she deserved that much.

I'd tried to get through to Ian over and over again that Wanda wasn't really a person. She was an alien and to kiss her and to go as far as sleep with her was just wrong.

This was my chance now. Ian had the chance to be a father now. He could let Wanda go and concentrate on this kid with Mel. He had the chance to be normal and all he was thinking about was that worm. Well I could see to that.

I'd seen Jamie tear down the tunnel that led to the storage area where we kept the food after the raids. From what I'd heard off of Paige, Wanda had headed that way earlier after Jared.

I hoped that she was down there now. I wouldn't let her ruin my brother's life. Her kind has already done enough of that. I ran down the tunnel, my feet pounding on the floor announcing my entrance. I wasn't trying to hide the fact that I was coming. If I snuck up on them I would only be accused of trying to frighten Wanda and I didn't need to do that when I had a new way to hurt her.

I had promised not to kill Wanda now and I wouldn't; I'd stick to my word but maybe, just maybe I could get her away from my brother.

I rounded the corner at then end of the tunnel and found Wanda on the floor of the tunnel sobbing into Jamie's shoulder. Jamie was whispering something to her trying to reassure her it sounded like and was hushing her trying to stem her flow of tears.

Well that was pointless because however bad she felt now, I could guarantee she'd feel ten times worse in a minute

"Well what do we have here" I shouted. Both Wanda and Jamie looked up

"Go away Kyle" Jamie spat. "Don't you have anyone else you can annoy?"

"Jamie, Jamie, Jamie" I began. "Now why would I want to annoy anyone today of all days"

"What do you mean" Jamie asked.

"Don't tell me you don't know" I asked feigning surprise. This was fun.

"Either you're going to tell us or not Kyle; right now we really don't care" said Jamie.

"Oh you will when I tell you, I'm surprised you don't already know." I looked around the tunnel. "Though sitting down here isn't going to get you in the know"

"Oh Kyle just say what you have to say and just leave. Can't you see Wanda is upset?"

"Okay Jamie I just wanted to say congratulations to you, one uncle to another"

"What?" Jamie said confusion settling on his face. I saw Wanda look up with a questioning look.

"Oh haven't they told you the good news yet. I would have thought you two would be one of the first to know. Mel is pregnant with Ian's baby" I laughed for effect. "Its time like this you wish you had some champagne. Congratulations Jamie" and after taking one last look at Wanda's distraught face and Jamie's shocked one I turned and left the way I had come.

Well what did you think. I love Kyle so had to put his POV in. I know he was mean to Wanda but that is because he is the Host and even at the end he hasn't changed that much. Please READ AND REVIEW im on 20 now but id really like some more. maybe that will get me to upload quickly again.
