CHAPTER 11:
Tanith's face lit up like a kid's on Christmas morning when she seen Valkyrie. She gave Tanith the presents and Tanith shuffled to the edge of the bed and patted the space beside her. "You've got to fill me in on everything." Valkyrie nodded and sat on the space on the bed. "You had the remnant for about six months. I have a new little sister called Alice. Can I tell you my digest secret?" Tanith nodded and pulled Valkyrie into a hug. "I'm Darquesse, or she's me. Well, she's like a part in my subconcionce. She usually appears when I'm about to die, or something. But a couple of weeks ago she appeared all on her own. And at this point I wasn't going out with Fletch, we'd broken up. So Darquesse calls Fletcher and tells him we need to talk, he thinks it's me and he comes. So then Darquesse and Fletcher do it and, uh, well. I don't know what to do." Tanith nodded slowly and waved Skulduggery away when he tried to enter the room. "So by it you mean…? Okay, this is odd. So really you're telling me that you shagged Fletcher Renn? What was it like?" Valkyrie almost stared to cry again. "It was okay. But you've got to promise not to tell Skulduggery. Promise?" Tanith nodded and pointed to the door, Fletcher was walking down the corridor towards it.
"So Fletcher, I heard you get Val into bed. What was it like for you?" Valkyrie went bright red and buried her face in Tanith pillow, Tanith patted her back. "Uh, should I regret walking into this room?" Valkyrie nodded and apologized to Fletcher. "Hey are you guys actually scared of Skulduggery? Is it how he might react?" Valkyrie tried to hide behind Tanith when fletcher asked, "Em, Val. So do you think you might actually be, you know… preggo?" Valkyrie blinked and shrugged. "I don't know, I really don't know." Fletcher considered this for a moment before answering. "But what if you are, what would happen then? Would you keep it?" Valkyrie sat up and looked around her, Fletcher was watching her and so was Tanith. "Well maybe. But I'm probably not preggo Fletch. Really." Fletcher went away to get a pizza for lunch and left the girls sitting in silence. "Val… Maybe you should, I don't know, take a test to find out?" Valkyrie looked at her best friend. "Yeah but, what if… what if?" Tanith put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I'm here for you Val, no matter what. And so it Fletcher, we've got you."
I don't know if Skulduggery should be sympathetic to Val or angry with her, choices… choices mwahahaha
