Saturday 4-12 (My POV)
I grab my three small duffle bags of clothes and other necessities and climb off of the bus. My back ached slightly as I glance at the address so unfamiliar to me. I sigh since I didn't have any money to hall or a cab or anything I had to walk.
(Evelyn's POV)
I get up as a knock is heard late at night. I knew it couldn't be Caleb or any of the boys since they had keys. I open the door to reveal a short girl. Her dark hair pulled back. She glances to me and smiles nervously.
"Hi…I'm looking for any of these guys" She says quietly handing me a piece of paper shyly. I glance at her than down to the paper. It had all four of the remaining Covenant. Chase was defeated at Pogue's ascentation a little over three months ago. "I know you don't know me but I need to talk to one of them please" She whispers her eyes filled with unshedded tears. I nod "Do you mind if I sit down I had to walk from the bus station" she asks quietly
I nod and let her in. I notice her posture and the way she held herself "You're pregnant" I say. She looks to me shocked than slowly nods
"How can you tell I'm only 17 weeks?" I smile
"A mother can always tell" I say quietly She smiles but sadly.
I glance over my shoulder as my door is opened and in walk the four boys she needed to talk to. They were all talking and joking. They could finally be normal teenagers since Chase was gone…..Well as normal as four teenage warlocks can be.
(Caleb's POV)
"Honey" I glance from Pogue to my mother than to the girl behind her on the couch. "Yeah" I say letting my eyes drift back to my mother.
"This young lady came to talk to you and the boys" She says
"Okay" I say slowly than glance to the guys behind me who shrug confused
"Sorry sweetie I didn't catch your name" My mother turns back to the girl. She gets up blushing slightly
"Cynthia…My name is Cynthia" She says quietly. Mother smiles
"Beautiful name….I will leave you all alone" Mother smiles at us and leaves
"Here" Cynthia hands me a note shyly. I glance at the note than back up to her
Cynthia,
I know that I'm not coming back to you and I don't want you to be upset over me. We both know the reasons. I have to do this and I'm sorry I couldn't make the rest of your life happy like I promised when we were little. I thank you for everything you have ever done for me.
Chase
I frown slightly and look up to her. "You knew Chase" I say She nods glancing down. I let Reid take the note from my hands.
"I know all about the power and the Covenant. I also know the reasons why you guys had to kill him. He was bent on getting more power and revenge and that blinded him from the unavoidable truth that you guys were going to kill him. He knew he wasn't going to be able to win against you guys but he felt he had to do it" She whispers. I see a few tears fall to the ground while she spoke.
"Okay …well why are you here" Reid asks rudely. I turn and briefly glare at him.
"Um…well between the time be attacked the second oldest and third….sorry I forgot the names….he told me he didn't want the Pope bloodline to end with him-"
"You are pregnant with his baby" Pogue cuts her off. She nods avoiding our eyes
"So what do you want money or something" Tyler elbows Reid
"I didn't want the baby to grow up like he did…Me and Chase were in the same foster home growing up. We stayed close once we were adopted into different families. I was with him while he got the powers. He was so scared….He was so scared he would cry. I couldn't watch that again" She says shaking her head slightly
"Whoa" I catch her arm and help her to the couch as she sways
"Sorry I haven't had anything to eat all day" She murmurs
"I'll go get you something to eat while we talk" I say and she nods. I head into the kitchen with the guys following. I sigh running my hands over my face
"What are we going to do" Pogue asks as I pull out some things to make her a sandwich
"WE….WE aren't doing anything…WE didn't knock her up" Reid crosses his arms
"Shut up" Tyler says Reid rolls his eyes as I make her a Pb&J
"Here you go" I smile handing her the plate
"Thanks" She says. I nod
"We are going to figure out some things so just sit and relax" She nods and I turn to leave.
"You guys don't hate me do you" She whispers sadly I frown and turn back to her
"No of course not…. We are just really confused right now but we don't hate you and we will figure something out" She nods and I head back to the guys.
"Well I know one thing… We can't just forget about her and the baby" I say
"Why not just send her back" I glare at Reid
"Think about it Reid…When that baby gets older and his mother tells him about this and how this Covenant turned its back on him and his mother. Do you think that he'll be happy…No He'll do the same thing his father did to us and do it to our children… I know we all want it to end with Chase" They nod
"So what are we going to do play daddy to this kid" Tyler glares at Reid
"Shut up Reid….I don't think she wanted this to happen…Think about it what 17 year old girl wants a baby knowing the dad wasn't going to be there…I don't think she did this willingly" Tyler says quietly glancing to us
"You think Chase raped her" Reid whispers. His whole face softening.
"I'm going to talk to my mom. She'll let her stay here and enroll her in school so we can figure things out" I say
"Okay we'll go talk to her' I nod and head to my mother
"Yes dear" She smiles
"I need to talk to you about Cynthia" She nods still smiling
