James stood outside the hospital room that Fourteen still laid in. "Ten, the others are better and we have cleared up a few rooms in building B. I'd like to get you guys moved to your rooms and show you guys around." James let out a sigh. "It's been two weeks, Fourteen is strong but she shows no signs of-"

"You're not saying that she won't wake up." Ten snapped back. "We're not going anywhere until she wakes up." James nodded, knowing that he couldn't say anything to get him to change his mind.

"Did she hit her head when she escaped?" James asked, puzzled as to why Fourteen hadn't woken up. Ten shook his head 'no', looking back through the window into the room. Her belly had started to grow as the life inside flourished. James had tried to talk to Ten about the baby, but he would just shake his head, avoiding the topic.

"She will make it. She always does, she just needs time." Ten mumbled. As if on cue the lights flickered and went out, followed by a loud scream. "Fourteen!" Ten yelled, running into the room. The lights continued to flicker as Fourteen screamed. Ten leaped into bed, pulling her into his chest. He hushed her soothingly as the other kids circled the bed and the lights slowly stopped flickering.

James stayed out of the room, deciding that they need some time. He left the medic building going to check on the new accommodations for the kids. He returned that afternoon to check on them

"How is she?" James asked, joining Rose in the observation room.

"From what I've seen, she doesn't talk much. I've learned all their names." She smiled knowing she had information that James didn't, which was rare. "We know Ten and Fourteen, who are 17 and 15." James nodded. "So that girl, there with the black hair?" Rose pointed at the oldest looking girl. "That's Twelve, and she is 16. The two boys, the one with blondish hair, that is Nine and he is 10 years old. The other boy is Eight and he 12 years old. And that," Rose let out a sigh, still smiling feeling proud of herself. "that is Five and she is 5 years old."

"So, from oldest to-."

"Ten, Twelve, Fourteen, Eight, Nine, and Five." Rose crossed her arms, still grinning.

"Good job, how'd you get that information out of them?" James asked, resulting in a shrug from Rose. "Hmm, keeping secrets now, are we?" He said as she closed off her thoughts.

"I've got to take advantage when I can."

"I see." James laughed, turning his attention to the room with the six kids. "Do you think they can move to their new rooms any time soon?"

"Yeah..Ten was asking for you earlier." Rose fell silent.

"What? What is it?" James looked at her with a puzzled look.

"He wanted you to explain to Fourteen." Rose mumbled.

"Explain what exactly to her?" James turned to face her.

"That she's pregnant. He said he wasn't sure if she knew." Rose explained, trying to keep her voice from shaking.

"He talked to you about the baby?" James asked.

"Not exactly, he just said someone should explain it to her." Rose said. "But he wanted you to do it." James didn't respond, instead he left the room. He knocked loudly on the doorframe, startling the kids surrounding the hospital bed.

"Good afternoon. Fourteen, we're glad to see you awake." James nodded to Ten, who stood quickly as if to jump into protection mode to protect his little family. He relaxed when he realized it was just James. "Ten, I understand you asked for me?" Ten glanced back at Fourteen.

"I think the nurse had pudding." Twelve spoke, standing with Five in her arms. Eight and Nine jumped to follow her out to the hall. Ten sat back down in the chair next to the bed. James stepped further into the room, pulling a chair up to the other side of the bed.

"Fourteen, my name is-"

"James." Her voice croaked.

"Yes." He smiled, feeling her probe around his thoughts. He made sure to not let her too deep into his head. "I was wondering if we could talk for a moment…About project 24." Fourteen quickly looked at Ten, biting her bottom lip. She immediately shut James out of her thoughts, her features trying so hard not to show fear. Slowly, James reached for the blanket over her, pulling it down. "Fourteen, listen." James moved her hand so it was over her bellybutton, her belly slightly swollen.

Next to her, Ten gulped loudly as she closed her eyes. "Heart." She mumbled, her brow wrinkled. "Beat. Heartbeat."

"Yes, that's a heartbeat. Ten showed me about project 24, and.." James paused as Fourteen pulled her hand away quickly, her icy blue eyes snapping open.

"No." she said.

"Fourteen-"

"No." She interrupted Ten, turning to him with a death glare. "No!" She screamed causing the lights to flicker. James didn't want to sedate her again as the last time she was sedated she almost didn't wake up. "No.." She pulled her knees to her chest as best as she could. Burying her face, her shoulders shook with sobs. Ten stood, scooping her up in his arms, and crawling onto the bed. He held her as she cried. The lights slowly stopped flickering.

"I am so sorry, Fourteen." He choked, whispering into her ear. "I'm so sorry." Ten began to rock, hushing her quietly, trying to soothe her cries. Fifteen minutes past before Ten spoke again. "It's mine." He mumbled, looking up at James. "I did this to her."

"No, Ten, THEY did this to both of you. I saw what they did, neither of you guys had control of your actions." James clarified. Fourteen's shoulders still shook, but she made no sound. Ten rested his cheek on the top of Fourteen's head. "Ten, it will be okay. Nothing bad is going to happen ever again, you guys are safe here." James reached up for Fourteen's hand. "All 7 of you, are going to be okay. You have my word."
