Drew nodded, holding Jessica a little tighter, it wouldn't do anyone any good to start freaking out at this point..#yes she did, Do you know who she has been hanging around with lately, anyone at the Sept, anyone outside the Sept.. anyone at all#.. Chris shook his head cursing himself for not paying better attention to his little sister..
Jessica sat up and looked at them both wiping her eyes on the sleave of her sweater.." I'm sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen, I didn't mean to mess everything up, i didn't mean it honest, I really didn't".. Drew looked at her and grabbd her shoulders looking directly into her eyes.." Jessica Marie, nothing is messed up, this is nothing that we can not handle, do you understand?" he spoke gently.. she shook her head starting to sob again.." I..I..I..I am sooooooooooooo sorryyyyy"
Chris crossed the room sitting on the bed.." Jess its ok, really it is, this might not have been the most pristine time to have this happen, but everything happens for a reason" Drew nodded pulling her back into a hug and spoke softly.." yes Chris is right, things happen for a reason.. having a child is not something to be ashamed about.. it is a blessing, allthough I know you don't think so right now, it is
Drew moved quickly and grabbed her arm.." jessica, your just upset right now, your not thinking clearly, this is not that bad" Wrenching her arm out of his grasp, a feral snarl emminated from deep within her .. Drew stepped back a bit, and Chris jumped up positioning himself stratigically to help control her if her first change took place.. " Jessica, you need to calm down, and calm down now" Drews words were gentle but firm as he moved forward to her..
She paced the floor, not sure what to do or what to thinks, she was feeling strange, so much anger, so much rage courseing through her..Snarls and growls filling the room as she began to speak.."FUCK YOU!!.. CALM!!!.. I can't raise a baby by myself!!.. I'm only 14!!!.. I haven't even finished school yet!!!.. I wanna be a doctor!!!.. you think that Jeremy is going to want anything to do with a baby!!!!.. or me for that matter!!! I was on birth control!!!, why didn't it work!!!!!!" both brothers exchanged glances with the mention of jeremy
Jessica began to shake uncontrolably a million thought raced through her mind oO( a baby, I can't, not now.. fuck why do I feel this way.. like I wanna rip something apart.. so outta control.. I don't wanna be outta control).. Drew senced it and acted quickly, shifting his form up to that of a near-man(glabro).. he grabbed her, holding her fast.. she fought to get out of his grasp, the growling the snarling becoming more prominent... Chris stayed where he was and linked to Drew through mindspeak once again.. #drew, stop her, use your gift and calm her down.. she dosen't need to go through her first change like this.. use your gift#
Drew nodded calling upon the gift #chant of Morpheus#.. talking calmly, soothingly to her for what seemed like hours.. she finally fell into a restfull, dreamless sleep in his arms.. Picking her up, he carried her over and placed her into her bed, tucking her in before shifting back to his human form.. he looked up at Chris.." lets go downstairs, she won't be awake for a few hours I am sure" Chris nodded and the two headed out, closing her door.. they headed downstairs..
Aaron and Seth sat in the kitchen chatting when the boys finally made there way in.. Drew slumped into a chair and looked up, only now realizing that Seth was there.." Uncle Seth.. when did you get back?" he looked confused.. The Scotish man looked up and grined broadly.." Aye lad, nice ta see ye to.. an' I got back ta day" drew nodded and looked over to Aaron.
Aaron looked up at him.." Is she ok?" he asked quietly.. Seth set his hand on Aaron's shoulder.." I told ye lad, ye did wha' ye thought was right at tha' time, dinna beat yerself up about it" Aaron nodded.." it was still something that I didn't want to do" he sat back in his chair and took a sip of his coffee..
Chris glanced between Drew and Aaron.. " Drew we gotta tell him, he is gonna find out sooner than later you know".. Aaron sat forward in his chair and looked at both the boys.." Tell me what?.. whats wrong??" he asked rather concerned.. Drew sighed deeply, the nights events starting to take a toll on his will.. " i think I know what Jessica had been 'acting out' the way she has.." Drew got up and moved over to the fridge grabbing a bottle of water out.. leaning against the counter he removed the cap and sipped slowly..
Aaron turned around and looked at him.." Well??.. don't just stand there tell me whats up?" there was an edge to his tone.. Drew moved abck to his seat leaning his elbows on the table.." She is pregnant Aaron.. and from what she said the baby is Jeremy's".. Aaron almost chocked on his coffe as he heard ths.. Seth laughed, whacking him on the back.." ye ok there Lad, Aye?".. nodding he sputtered.." p..p..pregnant.. like as in baby.. having a baby.. pregnant?"
Seth chuckled into the ale he had been drinking and took a swig.." Aye lad, wha' other kind'o'pregnant is there?".. Aaron scowled.." I know, I know.. she is to damn young though.. she hasn't even gone through her first change yet" Chris shot a look over at Drew, Aaron caught it.." What??.. what now??"..
Rubbing his temples Drew spoke.." I stopped her, used a gift to calm her so she wouldn't, she is sleeping now.. " Seth glared at him.." Ye wha' !" he growled.. Drew jumped in his seat.." I.. I..I used a gift on her Uncle Seth.. she was to upset, to angry.. it would have been bad, real bad" his voice faultered for a moment..Seth gripped his mug tightly and willed himself to remain calm.." Lad, tha' 'as got ta be the most dim-witted thing ye ever 'as done.. ifin it was her time ta change, then it was her time to change..ye better 'ope Gaia see's fit ta let her change again soon"
Aaron waved his hand.." it was done, can't change it now.. just pray that she goes through it and through it fast".. Chris nodded..his mind full of questions, as he only a few short months ago went through his change.. he was new to all this stuff..looking at Seth he asked curiously.." so her being pregnant, does that mean she is gonna have pups?".. Seth grinned.." Nay lad, she is homid.. means tha' she will have a homid child, Nay a pup.. and seeing tha' she mated with a kin, tha' child will be normal.. growing up ta be either garou or kin".. Chris nodded..
Aaron looked back to Drew." and you say the father is Jeremy?.. isn't that the Steele boy, and hasn't she been hanging around with him and his friends for a few months now?" Drew nodded.." yes, jeremy Steele.. son of Drake Steele, Silver Fang" Seth groaned.." Aye, she mated with a bloddy Fang, ye think that she could have choose better" Drew set his water down.." Choose??.. she didn't chose anyone, she dosen't even know what she is.. so hows she gonna know what he is" his temper started to flare..
Seth eyeed him for a moment.." Lad twas oke, do ye not think tha' I know she dosen't know anything, i am nay tha' old, tha' I forget these things" Drew stood scowling.." A joke, your sitting here joking about this, this is serious you know.. she is upset.. she dosen't want to keep the baby!!!" kicking his chair out of the way he stormed off into the living room.. pacing the floor, using every but of his will to remain calm..
Seth moved after him, grabbing the back of his shirt and spinning his around.." Dinna take tha' tone with me!!.. what would ye father say ifin he was here?".. drew pulled away and growled..." He's not here.. is he!!.. and if he was he would be saying the same fucking thing!!.. its not a Joke!!" Seth moved way to fast for Drew to react.. he had him pulled down and over his knee before he could even blink and started to land smack after smack, covering his bottom and thighs meticiously.. " Aye, he would say tha' same thing.. but nay use thalanguage ortone ye have with me.. an' nay think ye are ever to lod fer me to take ye over my knee, ye father knew that"
Seth held him tightly around his waist, his leg pinning Drew's.. his hand kept falling at an alarming rate.. Drew struggling and kicking.. screaming at him to stop.. " NOOOOOOOO.. i'msorryyyyyyy.. stop.. stop!!" the tears that had been pent up since his parents death finally finding a way to the surface and explodeing with abandon.. finally after what seemed like years to Drew, but was only about 20 minutes, his uncle stopped, and Drew lay limply over his lap.. gathering the younger boy into his arms, Seth sat back on the couch and craddles him in his arms, letting him cry it out.. " I..I..I'm sorryyy, i miss them sooo much, its not fair " he sobbed..
Seth rubbed his back gently, looking up at the other two boys in the doorway, Aaron having his arm aroun Chris hugging him.. Seth motioned for them to come and sit down.. " I know ye miss them lad, but tha' dinna give ye the leave to sware at me, and nay use tha' tone, I am yer uncle, but I am still yer elder.. ifin I was any one else they would 'ave done alot more than spank ye" .. Drew nodded finally starting to calm down..
Seth looked at all three boys.." Nay its not fair that ye parents were taken from ye, but tha' is a part of this life tha' we are born into.. we are Gaia's warriors.. we fight tha' wyrm, to keep wha' we 'ave sacred an' ta keep gaia from bein' corrupted" he paused for a moment before continuing.." ye Parents dinna die in vane, they died fighting for what wha' they believed in.. they died honorably, the died gloriously.. ye have nothing ta be upset about.. i know ye hurtin' but tha' will go away, ye still all young yet, theres going ta be alot of loss in yer life yet to come"
Seth stopped and looked up, Jessica was standing there looking right confused, she had changed into a t-shirt and sleep pants complimented with fuzzy bunny slippers..." whats wrong with Drew, and Uncle Seth I thought ya were gone for a week?" she said softly.. Drew quickly moved out of his uncle's arms and over to sit on the sofa, wincing as his bottom touched the couch, even through his jeans it still hurt to sit.. he thought oO( Dear Gaia, I will never never do that again.. ouch!)
Seth chuckled and patted his lap.." I just spanked yer brother, come lass sit down, there are some things i want ta tell ye" jessica's mouth fell open and she glanced from Seth to Drew.." Lass, close yer mouth, yer letting the flys in, now do as yer told and come over here, or do ye want another tanning, 'cause i'd be more tha' willin' to provide ya with some motivation".. Jessica's face flushed she lowered her head and quickly moved to sit on Seth's lap.. settleing down she looked up at him..
Seth smiled.." Lass, there are some things ye need ta know about who ye are" Jessica looked at him confused.." I know who I am, I am Jessica Marie Preston.. I always have been".. Seth nodded thoughtfully, deciding on the best approach with this.." Aye, tha' ye are lass, but ye are more than tha', ye are Garou, one of Gaia's warriors. chossen by our mother to ta protect an' serve her"...
the room was deathly silent and all eyes were on her..she blink and looked at him still confused.." I am what?.. whats a garou?.. whats that mean.. what I got some sorta disease no one ever told me about??".. Seth shook his head.." Nay lass, tis not a disease.. and ye are Garou.. ye are a Werewolf ifin that helps any.. Garou is wha' we call ourselves, werewolf tis wha' the humans call us, been tha' way for hundreds of years"
Jessica was in shock.. she didn't know what to say.. she just stared at him like she didn't even know him.. Seth shook her a little.." Lass? are ye all right?" broguht back to realitly she shook her head.. " Let me get this straight your saying I am a werewolf.. or garou or what have ya" Seth Nodded..Jessica laughed.." Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!!.. ok so whats the joke.. wheres the camera.. who put you upto this" she laughed again..
Seth snorted.." Lass, ye are Garou.. its in ye blood"
