“Sooo…”  Ace started as he and Lexi walked into his room to talk, “January”

 

“…The sixteenth…”  Lexi finished, staring at the ground.

 

Ace noticed her gaze, and turned to her, resting his hands on her shoulders; the action making her look up at him.  “Look…Lexi, we’ll be alright.  We just have to t’ink positive.  I mean, think about it,” He looked down at her abdomen, “We’re gonna have a baby!”

 

Lexi moved out of his grasp and sat down on his bed, “Yeah, but you don’t have to carry it around with you for nine months, AND give birth to it.”  She looked up at him, sadness showing in her eyes.

 

Ace came and sat down next to her, “You’re…scared, aren’t you?”  He put his arm around her and pulled her close to him.

 

“And you’re not?”  She snapped, looking up at him with fear in her eyes.

 

Ace bit his lip, “Look…Lexi, I am.”

 

She looked back at him, waiting for him to explain his concerns over their current predicament.

 

“I mean, dat time – a while back, do you remember we had dat conversation…”

 

“Huh?”

 

“Da one about kids…?”

 

Lexi looked up in thought, trying to remember…

__

“….Yeah…”  Ace didn’t seem as though he was listening.  Lexi noticed this and sat up, putting a hand on his shoulder.  “Ace, what’s wrong?”

 

“Nothin’.  It’s just dat, would you…would you ever… you know, want to have kids?”  Ace looked at Lexi thoughtfully.

 

Lexi looked taken aback.  “Whoa! Umm…Well, I don’t know…it, it’s weird.  And we don’t really need to be thinking about this kind of thing now I mean, we’re only dating.”

 

Ace pressed on.  “Yeah well you know, have you ever considered it?”

 

“Well, I don’t really actually know why people could bring themselves to have kids.”  Lexi looked apprehensive.  “I mean, for one it’s carrying round a ball of squishy gooey…life in your abdomen for nine months and having to deal with all the crap that comes with pregnancy, and then there’s the whole giving birth thing…I mean, I don’t know about you…But to me it seems… really painful.”  Ace smirked at her little rant but let her continue.  “And then there’s the whole, Life thing again.  I mean it’s screaming, pooping, hungry, crying… life.  I’ve always been scared of that; you know…what if you do something wrong?”

 

Ace hugged her.  “You’re right; we don’t need to be thinkin’ of dis kind of t’ing now.  Don’t worry about it.”

 

Lexi pulled away from his embrace.  “What about you?  Have you ever thought about that?”

 

Ace hesitated, “Yeah a few times.  You know, when you see couples with babies’ dey all seem to look so happy.  And you always wonder if it could ever be the same for yourself, but with us…I don’t know…I mean, don’t get me wrong, I t’ink we’d make great parents but…It would be…difficult.”  He sighed, and dropped his gaze, staring down at the bed sheets in a motionless gaze.

 

Lexi looked at him with pity.  “…Yeah…”  She too looked down, but only briefly.  She leant forwards and kissed him, playfully pushing him back as she did so.

__

“Ohhhhh, that conversation!”  Lexi said out loud, Ace gave her an amused look, before turning serious again.

 

“Yeah.  Lexi, I had always liked da idea of havin’ a kid, you know, it would be…I don’t even know how to describe it, but da feeling dat you’ve created life must be…”

 

“…Amazing.”  Lexi sighed.

 

“Yeah.  And then you get to teach it stuff, watch it grow up and see what he or she will accomplish through life, and whatever they manage to do, you would always feel proud of them.  And, I like dat thought.”

 

“Yeah.”  Lexi smiled, thinking about what he had just said.

 

“But, Lexi.”  Ace sighed, “I had always imagined dat if I ever did have a kid...”  He looked at her in the eyes, “It would be…after marriage. Y’know?  I mean, now…you and I are…dating, I mean, yeah it feels like more than dat, but still.”

 

Lexi looked up at him quickly, slight anger in her eyes, “What’s that supposed to mean?  Are you ashamed that we ‘did it’?  ‘Cause in the long run, Ace.  You can pull out of this whenever the hell you want, but I can’t.  Ace, I’m stuck with it, either I keep it, and look after it for the rest of my life, or I get rid of it before it’s too late and feel completely…****ty about myself!”

 

Ace looked back at her, “Lexi, I’m not gonna bail on you!  Sure I had pictured somet’in’ like dis…and truthfully it was a little different, but it doesn’t mean I don’t care.  I…I can’t even believe dat you would even t’ink that I wouldn’t take care of dis!”

 

“How can you take care of this, Ace?”  Lexi’s voice was less harsh than previously, partially because she was now crying.

 

“Lexi I…”

 

“No Ace,” She sniffed, “Right now, there physically is nothing you can do to help me.  What’s happening to my body can’t be stopped.  And no one from the outside can change that.”  She wiped away some tears with her wrists before continuing, “Ace, I know you want to help, and I know you’ll try to help in every way that you can, but face it.  You can’t, not until it’s born anyway – and by then, it wouldn’t matter anyway!”

 

“Lexi yes it will matter!”  Ace spoke loudly, causing the female to jump in surprise, noticing this, Ace lowered his voice when he spoke again, “Lexi, of course it will matter.  Wha…what do you mean…why do you t’ink dat it won’t?”

 

Lexi sniffed again, and felt more tears welling up in her eyes, “Ace…what…what made you like me?”

 

“What?”

 

“What made you…want to go out with me?”

 

Ace raised his eyebrows in surprise and took in a deep breath before speaking, “Lexi, it was…it was because ever since we first met I liked you, and when I got to know you more, I felt that it was almost as if we were made for each other.”  He took her hands in his as he spoke, “Why?”  He asked softly.

 

Lexi turned away from him, “You…will…will you still think of me like that even when I’m…huge?”

 

“Lexi” He continued to speak softly to her, he wiped away some tears with his thumb, and moved her hair out of her eye, “I don’t care what you look like on da outside, as long as it’s still you on da inside.  I only want da Lexi that I’ve fallen in love with, no one else.”

 

“So you wouldn’t…ditch me, just because I would be…heavily pregnant, moody and sick?”

 

Ace smiled at her, “of course not.” 

 

“Good.”

 

--

           

“Oh my god.”

 

--

 

“Oh My God”

 

--

 

“Oh my god”

 

--

 

“Oh my – Ouch!”

 

“Okay, Slam – Pay-up.  I-told-you-Tech-would-stop-meditating-if-Duck-kept-saying ‘Oh-my-god’ every-two-minutes!”

 

Slam grumbled and gave the fast talking bird a five dollar bill, crossing his arms in annoyance.

 

Tech stood up and walked over to the sofa, Duck for an unknown reason had ‘Broken’ since realising what had become of Lexi, and could not break out of his trance, nor get over the matter. 

 

In annoyance, the desert canine had tried to clear his head, both from the annoying bird’s continuous speech, and the stress of the current situation with Lexi.

 

“You guys bet?”  Tech asked as he sat down on the sofa, looking at Rev and Slam in confusion.

 

“Yep!”  Rev chirped.  “You-see, we-both-knew-that-Duck-was-gonna-get -annoying,-and-boy-did-he-may-I-add,-so-we-remembered-that-it-only-seemed-to-be-Duck’s-annoying-ring-tone-that-could-distract-you-from-meditation,-so-I-bet-against-Slam-that-Duck-talking-would-also-distract-you,-whereas-he-didn’t-think-so.  And-obviously-since-you-threw-the-TV-remote-at-him….I’m-guessing-he-did.”  Rev smiled.

 

It took Tech a moment to interpret what his fast talking friend had just said; he simply nodded when he had deciphered the speech.

 

Duck finally seemed to ‘wake up’ and return to reality, “So, can you guys believe it?  Lexi’s pregnant!  I mean, I actually think it’s hilarious that she – the one who could do no wrong, just because she’s the only female on the team, the one who never had to carry around heavy stuff, the one who never had to cook for us despite the fact that she’s a woman – is pregnant!  And, Ace, our leader, who is constantly telling me off for breaking the rules, was the one who knocked her up in the first place!”  Duck smiled smugly and crossed his arms.

 

“Duck,” Tech sounded mad, “A piece of advice for you, if you’d like to stay alive – DON’T mention that to either of them, got it?”

 

Duck nodded meekly, he was surprised that the normally ‘mellow’ member of the team was suddenly so aggravated by the Duck’s comment.

 

“And no.”  Tech sighed, “I can’t believe it either.”  He rubbed his eyes as he spoke, “I mean, she’s gonna need a lot of support from all of us, and I feel sorry for her.  I mean, she’s only nineteen, that’s pretty young.”

 

“Yeah, but I’ve seen a lot of women younger than her carrying babies around.  Somehow nowadays, I think the age she’s got pregnant at would be considered ‘old’.  I mean, it was only in the news last week about that girl who threw everything away because she got pregnant.”

 

“Yeah,” Tech sighed, “Apparently she had good grades, she had a promising future, she wanted to be an Astrophysicist, and she was only what…fifteen?”

 

“fourteen.”  Rev sighed, “Sometimes-I-wonder-why-girls-do-that, y’know? Why-do-they-throw-away-everything,-why-not-stay-pure-until-marriage,-or-at-least-until-they-find-the-right-guy?”

 

“Yeah well, it takes two to tango, remember, Rev.” Tech reminded the bird, “It’s the guy’s fault too.”  He looked down at the ground thoughtfully, “At least we know that Ace and Lexi will stay together through this, I mean, it’s not like Ace is gonna walk away and leave Lex to suffer, I mean, of course he wouldn’t; besides, I certainly won’t let him!”

 

“Yeah.”  Rev smiled, “But-you’re-right-Tech, it-will-be-hard-on-her, I-mean,-she’s-gonna-have-to-go-through-all-of-that-painful-stuff, and-she’ll- be-pregnant-for-a-long-time, and…you-know…the-kid’s-forever…”  He trailed off after he realised this.

 

“Well I can’t believe they’re gonna get their parents involved, I mean, talk about awkward!”

 

“Yeah well, Duck, they can’t just hide it,” Tech looked at Duck, “their parents need to know, they deserve to.”

 

“Yeah, but I don’t want to be around when they come.”  Duck widened his eyes as he verbalised his next thought, “I mean, we’ve all heard what Lexi’s dad’s like…somehow I don’t think he’ll just be mad at Lex….he’ll be mad at us too”

 

“ghrksf sfsjfks snfsf Bad!”  Slam grunted, annoyed, he slouched in position and rested his head in his hands.

 

“Yeah, it will be bad, Slam.”  Duck patted the Tasmanian devil on the shoulder, “But think about Ace I mean, that will be hilarious!”  Duck laughed at the thought of his leader being intimidated by Lexi’s father.

 

“Oh yeah Duck, won’t that just be hilarious.”  Lexi commented sarcastically as she walked into the room holding Ace’s hand.

 

Ace gave a displeased look at Duck, “Could you guys at least even act supportive!?”

 

“Sorry, Chief.”  Tech replied, standing up and walking over to the two rabbits, “But we’ll help,” He glanced back at the rest of the team, “…Or at least I will.”  He smiled at the couple.

 

--

 

“Lexi, everyt’in’s gonna be fine.”  Ace spoke softly as he moved some stray hairs out of her eyes.

 

It was late, the clock read 23:36, the Loonatics had long since departed to go to bed, Ace and Lexi were in Ace’s room, once again talking about their current predicament.  Lexi lay under the covers while Ace sat on the bed next to her, he was positioned roughly in line with her hip, to the right hand side of her, looking down at her as they spoke.

 

“No it’s not, Ace.” Lexi furrowed her eyebrows sorrowfully, “This is not okay, I am not okay.  I don’t think I’ve ever been this frightened before, Ace; and you know I’ve been in bad situations before, but this, this is the worst.  Ace, I, I’m terrified!”  Tears were visibly leaving her eyes, giving her eyes a bright sparkle to them, which was still easy to see in the darkened room – the light from Ace’s bedside lamp helping the two bunnies to see each other. 

 

Ace frowned; the sparkles that were present in her eyes were not the ones he wanted to see, easily because they were wet with tears, and not happiness or love like they normally were.

 

He sighed, and he quickly submerged his hands underneath the darkness of the bed sheets to find Lexi’s hands, and pulled them out from underneath the blankets and held them in his own hands which he rested on his lap. 

 

“Lexi you don’t need to be scared,” He said softly, “I’m here, I’ll always be here, I’m not going anywhere, you’re not alone in dis – you’ll never be.”

 

Lexi gave him a weak smile, “Yeah well, that’s comforting to know.”  She smiled properly, an idea forming in her head.  She smiled at him and bit her lip.

 

“What?”  Ace smirked at her.

 

“What’s the point in being miserable?”  The question was rhetorical, as she immediately pulled Ace down and kissed him before he had the chance to question her, he joined in almost instantaneously.

 

When they parted to breathe, Ace’s face remained close to her own so that the two were close enough that they could stare into each other’s eyes. 

 

They were close enough now that Ace was easily able to whisper into Lexi’s ear, what he had said made her smirk and bite her lip as she stared up at him and slightly nod her head, Ace smiled back at her and reached over to turn off the bedside lamp so that all was dark in the room, before he leant down to kiss her again…

Hey, Guys!

I fell so proud of myself, it took me like....4 days to write a 28 page long chapter, I feel proud - and because of this, I brong you a sneak peak of:


CHAPTER 26 - 'NIGHTMARES'



She felt a stabbing pain in her gut, and it burnt.  It was like fire, it throbbed and stung and pulled and pushed within her, she winced and her breathing became heavy and she squinted in pain and looked up in front of where she was sitting; to see the man who had hurt her in Utah three years ago.

 

His face was cruel and dark and threatening, but she couldn’t see his eyes, his unfeeling, uncaring eyes that had haunted her for weeks after the attack, it was as if the sun was directly behind him and his form was silhouetted in front of her so that his features were concealed from her vision. 


_________

Yeah..umm, I hope to have it up by the weekend...or sometime next week, it all depends on how much homework I get done, I have like....3 projects to do and 8 pieces of homework in between that, so I'm a bit...busy right now, so if I don't get the chapter up soon, you'll understand!

Well, I've updated, and I'm surprised that it didn't take me so long to write this, I feel proud!

Anyway, here you go....

EDIT:  The *brief* part fo the song that's featured is 'Anthem Of Our Dying Day' by Story Of The Year 

_________________________

CHAPTER 26 - 'NIGHTMARES'
_________________________

Lexi sat at home, impatiently tapping her foot on the floor underneath her; she sat on the sofa in the main room, blankly gazing out of the window, her left hand resting on her swelled belly. 

 

She sighed and looked down at herself, a lot had changed in the few months since she had first discovered that she was pregnant, the guys were being a lot more helpful and Duck was hardly ever rude or mean to her like he used to be.

 

She smiled to herself, her friends really did care, they were doing a lot for her, and she always sat and thought about how she could repay them for their troubles after the baby was born, she often pondered what she could do for each of them, while she was awaiting their return home from yet another mission.

 

But not today

 

Today she felt different, she worriedly bit her nails, they had been gone for longer than normal, and this was beginning to worry her.

 

She didn’t move from her position, she never turned her head away from the panoramic window which looked out over the city, she never moved an inch from the sofa, and she never even turned her head at the sound of a creak coming from another area of the tower.

 

She only waited

 

She didn’t want to miss seeing them come home, where relief would flood through her and encase her in the feeling of pure happiness that they were all okay.

 

She fidgeted, and became anxious, but the concerns that were beginning to mount up in her brain were dissolved away when she heard the sound of the hanger doors opening.  Nothing else could open those doors except for the Loonatics – Tech especially, the tower was always on a firm lockdown whenever they were out, and now especially since Lexi was home-alone and vulnerable to attack.

 

Lexi considered getting up and greeting them, but she knew that they would be with her momentarily. 

 

She knew that Ace would come down the corridor hastily, smile as he walked into the main room, say her name in pure happiness to see that she was okay, jump over the sofa and stand in front of her, embrace her – picking her up and twirling her around as he did so, before setting her down and kissing her before asking her if she was okay.

 

Lexi smiled at the thought and eagerly turned her head towards the entrance to the main room, waiting to see him come in.

 

She could hear footsteps coming down the corridor, they were Ace’s, and they had to be.  She could tell what their walks were like by sound, what noise their feet made when they walked through the narrow passageway, Ace and Tech’s were always a little bit difficult to determine, the two were of similar build to each other, only Ace was slightly more muscular.

 

Her heart leapt in anticipation and suddenly time seemed to slow down as she waited for him to emerge, but she couldn’t ignore the throbbing that she felt in her heart, a sudden feeling of terror which engulfed her and made her gasp loudly and clutch her chest.

 

She heard Ace pause, obviously hearing her sudden intake of breath, his walk quickened and soon she heard the sound of four pairs of feet hastily walking towards her location.

 

Four pairs of feet

 

The throbbing continued and spread throughout her chest, the agonizing pain seeping through her like a chilling breath on a cold day, her stomach felt giddy and her legs shook.

 

She felt a stabbing pain in her gut, and it burnt.  It was like fire, it throbbed and stung and pulled and pushed within her, she winced and her breathing became heavy and she squinted in pain and looked up in front of where she was sitting; to see the man who had hurt her in Utah three years ago.

 

His face was cruel and dark and threatening, but she couldn’t see his eyes, his unfeeling, uncaring eyes that had haunted her for weeks after the attack, it was as if the sun was directly behind him and his form was silhouetted in front of her so that his features were concealed from her vision. 

 

But it wasn’t possible

 

The sun shouldn’t be directly in front of her, she was facing east, it was 7:00 pm, the sun was beginning to set, and it should be behind her, to the west where it belonged at such a time.

 

Why was the sun in the wrong place?

 

She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, still desperately holding herself together, questions flooded through her mind, all racing so fast that she could barely acknowledge one before another would come to mind.   Why were the guys taking so long to get to her? Why was the sun in the wrong place? Who was the man standing in front of her?  How did he get in?

 

What was happening?

 

She looked up at the man, her eyes pleading for help, for her throat was now dry with fear, she blinked – her eyes now too becoming dry, the inhibition of her Lacrimal Gland was one of the first signs of the body’s fight or flight response to stress, and she could feel herself shaking with fear as she folded her legs up to her chest in an attempt to hold herself together, and to protect the baby’s life within her.

 

As she blinked, the man in front of her changed, his form rapidly transforming in front of her dry eyes, suddenly he fit the description of the villain that the male Loonatics had gone to fight that day.

 

But what was behind him made bile rise from her stomach and up to her throat, delaying any chance for her to scream and make her danger known to her friends. 

 

Behind the man was a body.

 

Suddenly he and the body disappeared, the haunting image melted away just as quickly and swiftly as it had arrived, and the room returned to normal, and the male Loonatics finally entered the room.

 

Four of them

 

Their faces all bore the same expressions; Concern, concern for the well being of their friend who seemed to be in agonizing pain, and sadness; Sadness because of what they had just recently lost.

 

Who they had just recently lost

 

The sight made Lexi’s heart skip a beat as her eyes scanned the faces of the assembled males, she checked again, and again, and again.

 

Tech, Duck, Rev, Slam

 

Tech, Duck, Rev, Slam

 

Tech, Duck, Rev, Slam

 

Tech, Duck, Rev, Slam

 

Her body fell limp and she collapsed onto the floor in front of her, her eyes were now wet with fresh salty tears that stung her tongue when they entered her mouth.  She leant on her hands and knees, her limbs shaking and threatening to give way, she didn’t have the strength to even support the weight of her own beaten body.

 

The four anthros in front of her stood and watched her in sorrow as she felt another spasm of pain erupt from her stomach and chest as she let out an anguished cry…

 

 

That was the first night since joining the team that Lexi had woken up screaming.

 

Ace’s bedroom door burst open as Tech, Rev, Slam and Duck ran into the room, they looked over at Lexi in shock, her eyes were wide with fear, and a piercing scream was still erupting from her throat. 

 

Ace sat next to Lexi, his hands on her cheeks, trying to get her to stop screaming and find out what was wrong with her, with no luck he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her against him, he picked up her legs and lay them across his lap as he sat her down on his leg, cradling her as he would do for a child.

 

He rocked her back and fourth gently, one hand resting on her back, securing her to him, while the other rested on the back of her head, allowing her to bury her head in his chest.

 

Eventually she quietened, and now the sound of her muffled sobbing against Ace’s chest could be heard by all, along with her shaky breaths. 

 

Ace held her in that same position for a while, his shoulder becoming wet with tears, but he didn’t let that bother him, he was too concerned with Lexi to care about himself.

 

The other Loonatics sat on the edge of the bed, waiting, they were concerned for their friend, and they also wanted an explanation into what was wrong with her.

 

For the next few minutes that passed there was silence in the room, the male Loonatics all becoming drowsy through the sleep deprivation which they were all sharing, but none of them wanted to leave, not without making sure that Lexi was okay.

 

The clock had reached 02:43 by the time Ace had decided to ask Lexi what was wrong, he hadn’t felt her cry in a while, but her breathing hadn’t settled and so he had continued to hold her in his arms until now.

 

He could hear no shaken in-drawn breaths, no new wetness on his shoulder, nor the trembling of her arms and legs.

 

He spoke gently to her, rubbing her back in circular motions, “Lexi…Lex, you okay, now?”  He rested his head on hers; inhaling the flowery scent of her hair while he waited for an answer.

 

He shifted uncomfortably, the action was small and went unnoticed by the rest of the team, when he felt Lexi grip onto the fur on his chest, pulling it sharply, but he knew that it was an accident because he immediately felt her rest her hand on that spot, trying to relieve the pain he felt.

 

Duck silently gestured that he was tired and that he was going back to bed, he looked back at Lexi a few times as he was making his departure, maybe checking that she was okay so that he had peace at mind when he slept.  Slam soon followed afterwards.

 

After watching them go, Tech and Rev turned back to the bunny couple, Lexi still hadn’t answered Ace’s original question and Tech surmised that maybe it was because of their presence.  He announced his departure, and motioned for Rev to leave the room too, reluctantly the bird followed, looking back over his shoulder at Lexi, like Duck had done, he finally set his gaze on the floor as he walked through the doorway and back to his room; the doors shut behind him.

 

Ace felt a sigh of relief escape from his mouth, he was glad that they were gone, somehow he felt very uncomfortable with them being there…especially after what he and Lexi had been up to that night.

Lexi pulled her head away from Ace’s shoulder and looked around, checking that the other members of the team were gone, she looked up at Ace with an apologetic look on her face as she brushed her hand across his cheek.

 

Ace caught her hand and held it in his own, looking down at her, “Lexi…what happened, you were screamin’?”

 

“Sorry…”  Lexi replied looking down, she then caught site of what she was wearing; one of Ace’s old shirts which covered the areas which she wanted to be concealed, but she still didn’t like the size of it on her – it barley reached the middle of her thigh.  She groaned, and flopped back on the bed.

 

“What?”  Ace asked her, puzzled over her strange behaviour, he looked at her with concern, and her behaviour certainly was strange.

 

Lexi spoke without sitting up or opening her eyes, “Did the guys see me like this?”  She gestured to the shirt she was wearing.

 

“Yeah…”  Ace gave her a guilty smile and crawled over to her, “But somehow I don’t t’ink they cared about dat as much as they were concerned about you, Lex.”

 

Lexi sat up, “Yeah, I guess…”  She sighed, “Ace, I’m sorry for waking you up…I probably gave you a fright…”

 

Ace gave her a pitiful smile, “Hey, don’t worry Lex,” He pulled her over to him and hugged her, “what happened?”

 

Lexi looked down and then back up at Ace, “It sounds silly, but, I had a nightmare…”

 

“Lexi, that’s nothin’ to get ashamed of, everyone gets them, and I have loads of times”

 

“Yeah,” Lexi sighed, “but this one was awful, everything was so vivid and it seemed so real, even the pain I felt in the dream felt real.”

 

Ace looked at her, trying to determine what the nightmare had been about, “Lex, by any chance, was dis dream about you givin’ birth to…”

 

“No, Ace” Lexi sighed, “It was much worse.  In the dream, I was pregnant, but you guys had gone on a mission, so I was alone, and then…I had this weird feeling that something bad had happened, and I could hear you guys coming back from the hanger…but there were only four pairs of feet,” She looked up at him, tears gathering in her eyes, “Ace…the man who…who, the man from back in Utah…the one I told you about…”

Ace looked down at her, he furrowed his eyebrows angrily when he realised who she was talking about, “Yeah…him.

 

“He was in the dream, and I was just so scared, and the pain…the pain, it was unbearable, but it was nothing that he had done, and I remember…then he transformed into a different person…”

 

“What you mean, just…he just changed?”

 

“Yeah.  I could only see his silhouette, but then he changed, and the person he turned into was whoever you guys had gone out to fight in the mission, the mission from the dre…nightmare.” 

 

Ace could tell that she was beginning to get upset, and so he guided her down so that she was lying in bed, he pulled the blankets up and lay down next to her, kissing her on the cheek.

 

Lexi fiddled with the sheets before she spoke, “And…And then…the image of the man just went…oh, but there was a body next to him, and then he and the body just disappeared…and…and then the guys finally came…but it was only them…”  She started to cry, “You weren’t there, Ace.  It wasn’t clear…but…but I think in…in the dream you…you…”  She whispered the final word, “Died…”

 

Ace gave her a thoughtful, concerned look.  He reached over to pull her closer to him so that her head rested by his shoulder, he sighed, trying to think of the right way to respond to that while Lexi gripped the sheets which covered her, and pushed herself further against him.  Ace put his arm around her and fiddled with her hair for a while.

 

“Lexi” He finally spoke, he sat up and looked down at her, rubbing her arm softly as he spoke, “Don’t be frightened, it was just a dream, and I can see where it came from…”

Lexi looked up at him in confusion, “How – what do you mean?”

 

“Well, we were talkin’ about pregnancy, you’ve found out when it’s due, you know dat you’ll have to stay home while we’re on missions, maybe you’ve also been a bit frightened of da pain dat you’ll go through when you deliver, and…I guess….maybe with what happened last night…what happened to you in Utah came to mind…”  He trailed off as he spoke the last of his thoughts.

 

Lexi looked away, not making eye contact with him, “Ace…somehow…I don’t think that the pain I was suffering during the nightmare was to do with me being worried about…that kind of pain…”

 

Ace raised an eyebrow, both out on intrigue and curiosity, “Well…what do you t’ink it could have been from?”

 

Lexi hesitated before replying, “I love you, Ace.  And…to think that something like that might happen…I think that’s why it hurt, Ace I can’t live without you, right now, you seem to be the only thing that keeps me alive, I…I can’t imagine being without you, it’s like I never lived before knowing you..I…Ace…I…”

 

Ace smiled and pressed his lips against hers, he held the kiss for a few moments, before breaking away and staring at her, keeping his face close to hers, “Dat’s all I need to hear tonight, Lex.”  He smiled at her before kissing her again.

 

--

 

The usually sunlit forest was bizarrely dark today.  Whether that fact had something to do with it being evening and the sun was beginning to set, she wasn’t sure.

 

Lexi walked along the invisible paths she knew of, through the forest, ever since her childhood there, she was always able to find her way out of the deepest part of the forest, her playful and adventurous character as a young girl had always aided her in finding her way around.

 

She jumped easily over logs and rocks, swung happily from branches over small blockages in the path she was travelling, all towards one place.

 

Home

 

Her home was only a mere two hundred or so metres away, and so she savoured every moment she could of her journey homewards, savouring the sound of dirt, twigs and dry leaves crunching under her feet, the fresh and warm scent of summer, the distant sounds of other people in her town, people who she knew, who she trusted.

 

It was only the missing sounds of bird activity which made her muse over why today felt different, why she felt different now.

 

She continued up the small sloped area of forest which leads up to a clearing, and then a small road before she would reach her house.  She smiled as she found a familiar tree, a tree which, when climbed, felt like she could see everything around her.

 

She walked over to it, placing her hand over its deep brown, strong trunk, she reached up and found a sturdy branch, gripping it with both hands she easily swung herself up, using her feet to climb up the trunk of the tree, so that she had some power from her legs aiding her, rather than just her arms.

 

Sitting up on the sturdy branch which had aided her in first getting into the tree, she easily stood up, her good balance allowing her to easily stand on the narrow branch without falling or wobbling.

 

She bent her legs and jumped up to the next branch and swung herself up, she repeated her method of ascending the huge tree until she reached the very top, where the branches became thinner.

 

Since her younger days of maybe six or seven, she had always known the correct way to climb up on the thinner branches, her brothers had always helped her when she was younger and was first learning how to climb them, they would always be ready to catch her if she fell; when she fell.

 

They had always encouraged her, and given her advice about which branches would be the sturdiest, and eventually she was able to climb to the very tops of trees without assistance.

 

She loved the feeling of climbing, the feeling of power and acceleration and liberation.  The adrenaline rush was always the best, when your foot slipped and you felt as though you would fall, but the immediate reaction when your reflexes would save you from injury, where you would be able to grab hold of something, anything, to prevent the fall. 

 

Lexi carefully held two of the thinner branches with both hands, and quickly pulled herself up to the next, making sure that she spread her weight so that she wasn’t weighing down on one branch, but it was evenly spread out so that there was less weight having to be supported by such a small tree limb.

 

Eventually she reached the top, and was finally able to lift her head above the canopy of green and stare out at the land she called home.

 

The forest wasn’t as thick as it seemed when you looked at it almost from above, and it was easy to see small birds which walked around at the bottom, the breeze which suddenly hit her was warm and light, but it was enough to make her smile.  She looked around her, the sky overhead, dotted with very small dissipating clouds, the amazing fiery colours of the sky, and the few birds which soared overhead were always what she loved to see when she looked above her.

 

Beyond the trees was what she loved the most, the massive orange-red sandstone, moulded and chiselled by the desert sand over thousands of years – the canyons of Monument Valley, Utah.

 

She smiled, this was home, and no-one, nothing, could take that away.

 

Sighing, she began her descent; flipping and swinging easily down from branch to branch until she reached the forest floor.

 

She began her walk back towards home, her pace quickening ever so slightly as she had lost out on time due to her tree climbing, and she knew how her dad could be.

 

Suddenly to her right, a dozen or so birds leaped into flight, squawking in alarm as they hastily flew away from the danger they evaded.  Lexi looked in the direction that they had fled from in curiosity, she looked back ahead of her, and eyed her watch, and she had just enough time to investigate if she ran home instead of walking.

 

Years of playing in the forest helped in times like this, she was always excellent at moving silently through the forest, knowing exactly where to tread to avoid being heard by whoever she was stalking.  She used to love jumping out at her brothers or friends and watching their surprised faces in amusement after she had successfully snuck up on them.  And now, when she felt as though she may need that skill the most, she could use it effectively.

 

She still eyed the area that she was approaching; whatever had forced the birds into flight was out of her view due to two trees ahead of her.  Occasionally she would glance at the ground beneath her, making sure that she wasn’t about to step on a snake or a twig which could make her presence known to whoever, or whatever was beyond the two trees.

 

She finally reached the trees, and eyed her watch again, she still had time, but she had to be quick now.  She carefully moved around behind the trees and ducked behind a bush, flattening her ears back behind her so that they were not visible over the top of the bush.

Quietly she leaned up, still keeping her ears behind her head, and looked over the top of the bushes.  In a small clearing were three men of whom she couldn’t recognise – the town was small, and everyone knew everyone, so these people must be tourists.

 

Drunken tourists

 

She could see bottles of alcoholic drinks on the ground near to where they were sitting, one of the men stood, drinking the remnants of his beverage, his stance was goofy and when he walked he stumbled, the speech of the men on the floor was slurred too.

 

Lexi grimaced, she shouldn’t be there, they were dangerous, they were men that she didn’t know, she was alone in the forest, there were three of them and one of her, they had bottles which they could use as weapons, and they were drunk.

 

She knew that they wouldn’t be the types of people, especially in their current state, who would pick up their empty glass bottles, and she scowled at the thought that they would merely leave them there and leave in their own time.  She turned to depart quietly, disgusted by their behaviour. 

 

Lexi moved back with the same caution in by which she had approached, being even more wary for she knew that they were dangerous, the fact that they were drunk did mean that their senses wouldn’t be a sharp as normal – but still – she didn’t want to take any chances.

 

She continued on her way back to her house, moving quickly through the trees, dodging saplings and weaving her way through thorny bushes when she came across them, doing her best to move as quickly and as quietly as she could – using all of the short cuts which she could think of.

 

She reached the clearing in the trees, she only had a hundred or so more metres to go before she would just have to walk up the small road towards her house where she would be safe, she picked up her pace now, her fast walk becoming a jog, and after eyeing her watch again, turning her jog into a run.

 

She turned a corner, around a tree, where she gasped and stopped.

 

She held her breath and remained perfectly still, remembering how the eye, instinctively, was always drawn to moving things.  What had caught her attention, was the sight of another man who she couldn’t recognise, just behind a ‘curtain’ of leaves which hung down from a bent over sapling. 

 

The sapling which marked the approximate one hundred metre mark from her house

 

She didn’t have to guess that he was friends with the same men she had seen earlier, he was speaking on a mobile phone and looking around, his speech was slurred and an empty bottle was in his hands.

 

Lexi stayed absolutely still, right now she didn’t care if she was late home, she didn’t want that man to see her.  The man was still looking around, and every now and then he would walk a few steps backwards, forewords or either side of him or hold his phone high in the air, obviously he couldn’t get a good signal.

 

 Lexi smirked, strangely only some phones received a good signal around here, and luckily most of the people in town had such phones where they were able to contact each other easily – without the frustration of having to try to find a signal.

 

The man was certainly taking his time, sober or not, he sure was dumb, he needed elevation if he wanted to get a better signal, not closeness or distance.

 

Lexi sighed in frustration, but maybe the sigh was too loud, as he immediately looked in her direction, peering through the small gaps in the leaves until he saw her.  Lexi froze, she wasn’t sure what to do, stay still and hope that he got bored, or make a run for it; but there was one problem with the second option, however.

 

He was blocking the way home

 

They continued to stare at each other for some time, maybe wondering if the other was real or not.  Eventually the man gestured for her to come over to him, but Lexi was apprehensive, she didn’t know the man after all.

 

“Come ‘ere.”  He said, ushering her forward.

 

Somehow, and she wasn’t sure why or how, Lexi found herself slowly walking towards him, the voice in the back of her mind screaming warnings at her ‘Stop and turn around, at least get to a friends house rather than be alone with that man.’

 

Lexi ignored the warning, and continued to walk ahead of her, the disappearing light making some stars visible in the darkening sky over head.  She looked at him with intrigue, wondering who he was. Where had he come from? How did he get separated from his friends? Why did he leave them?

 

Why was he calling her forward?

 

Lexi stopped; finally her body seemed to receive the warning signals that her brain was vaulting through her body.  She looked at him, she was no less than three metres away from him, her eyes widened as she realised how close he was to her, she didn’t want to be this close to him, especially now.

 

She took a reluctant glance up at the sky, noticing how quickly it had gotten dark.  It was like the sun had slipped from the sky and didn’t have the chance to grip hold of something to keep its light shining on her earth for the amount of time she desired.

 

The amount of time she needed

 

The man was too looking up at the sky, wondering what was wrong with the confused girl ahead of him.  Lexi looked back ahead, towards him, stealing a glance at her watch before he had returned his gaze to her.

 

Lexi knew that she was late home, the comfort in that was that her dad was so paranoid about her safety that he would probably send one of her brothers out soon to find her – or at least call her friends to find out if she was with them.

 

But that though hit her like a slap in the face, her friends, Leah, Alex, her sister’s band-mates, her brothers’ pilot friends, were all at her house for a barbeque.

 

All of them

 

There would be no worried phone calls to her friends, no concerned phone calls to her friends’ parents, because they might be around her house too, and her family knew that she knew to come straight home after she had gone to give an oven dish back to her grandmother.

 

Lexi silently groaned in annoyance, the only person now who would be receiving a phone call was –

 

‘The stars will cry,

The blackest tears tonight

And this is the moment that I live for

I can smell the ocean air

Well hear I am

Pouring my heart onto these roofto-‘

 

Her

 

Lexi forced her hand into the pocket of her jeans, not daring to take her eyes off of the amused looking man in front of her, she hastily silenced the music playing – her ring tone- and looked at the caller ID. 

***

INCOMING CALL

-THING 2-

CHOCOLATE THUNDER!

(SAM)

***

Lexi scowled, she and her sister had watched way too much of the ‘The Cat In The Hat’ movie.

 

Out of the corner of her eye, Lexi noticed the man take a step towards her, Lexi’s heart leapt, she cancelled the call pressing the ‘hang-up’ button on her phone, she shoved the item into her pocket, and turned to face him, her muscles tensing, ready to propel her into an adrenaline boosted sprint towards her home.

 

“Give it.”  He said, holding out his hand towards her, and taking another step.

 

Lexi took half a step back, “Give what?”  She asked innocently, she had an idea that he was referring to her phone, but she didn’t want to give it to him if it wasn’t what he meant.

 

“The phone” He replied, annoyed.

 

Lexi took the item out of her pocket, glancing from it to him; she took a deep breath and bit her lip, before handing him her phone – her only means of contacting help.

 

He snatched the item out of her hand, Lexi quickly withdrawing her hand so that there were no easy ways which he could physically contact her.  Her voice turned cold when she spoke to him, “Why?  Why do you need it, you don’t look like some common thief”

 

The man glared at her before he dialled a number into her phone, he lifted the device to his ear and waited for the person he was contacting to answer his call.  He never took his eyes off of Lexi, feeling the pressure of his stare, combined with the fear she felt, Lexi didn’t move.  She remained where she was;

 

Cold

 

Vulnerable

 

Scared

 

Alone

 

He spoke loudly to the person who answered, making it quite obvious to Lexi that he wasn’t in a rush to go anywhere; he kept glancing at her as he spoke, before hanging up the phone, and putting it in his pocket.

 

Lexi knew better than to demand that he give her the phone, and so she could only watch in sorrow as it disappeared from her sight, and her use.

 

He turned to her, a smile edging across his lips.  The maniacal smile frightened Lexi, and she looked about herself, desperate to flee, but too afraid to.  Instead she searched for something to defend herself with.

 

Like a miracle, she did notice a long stick, resting on a rock, it would be perfect, and it would be enough.  She turned her attention back to the man, watching his sickening expression as he looked at her, her heart was pumping wildly through fear and she knew that she had to lead him closer so that she could lead him towards her ‘trap’.

 

Looking terrified (which was easy because she felt terrified) she stepped back, testing him.  He mimicked her movements, but taking another step towards her.  She had to hold back a smile as she realised that her plan just might work, she led him back and stopped.

 

She remembered one of the flying moves that her brother Michael had once talked about, “I just hit the breaks and he flew right by!”  She knew that she had to bring him in closer, and lull him into a false sense of security.

 

She made a face which looked like she had frozen in fear suddenly, and she immediately saw the flicker of confidence in the man’s eyes as he took a larger step towards her…

…But obviously he had been expecting to see something other that a large stick hitting him square on the nose and forehead after Lexi had stamped down on one end which was resting on a rock, causing the other end to whip up and hit him, giving her the perfect opportunity to run.  The man cursed as he rubbed his forehead and nose, silently vowing that he would find her, as he began to pursue her.

 

Lexi ran, quickly, carelessly and loudly.  She didn’t care if he heard where she was going, and she didn’t care where she went to get to safety, all she knew was that she had turned in the opposite direction to her home, in a bid to give her more distance away form the man, running downhill was always easier than running uphill, she ‘leap-frogged’ over rocks and swung herself over branches as she ran, she knew she had to find someone’s house, someone  - anyone, who she could ask for help from and reach a phone from.

 

She could feel the wind running through her hair and fur, and the rush of excitement as the speed at which everything moved past her was blurred.  The adrenaline rush gave her the necessary speed that she needed – usually she would love, savour and enjoy the feeling of freedom and speed, but not tonight. 

 

Tonight she was running out of fear and not exhilaration, she had an idea of why he was so interested in her, and the thought made her sick.

 

She decided to turn around, and head home, realising that there was no point in her wasting energy to try and find a house in the direction she was travelling, she was getting close to ‘the drop’ anyway, and she didn’t like the idea of falling from a large drop from a jutted out cliff – at night, with no one to help her or call for help – she didn’t like that idea at all.

 

She circled around a tree, pressing herself against it to momentarily catch her breath, she needed to be silent when she passed back through, regardless of the fact that she wasn’t going down the same ‘path’ as her pursuer, she wanted to be silent so that he didn’t hear her.

 

But stopping to catch her breath did have one disadvantage, the adrenaline rush wore off, her body obviously felt that there was no need for her to run anymore and leave the danger, but her brain thought differently.

 

It was dark

 

It was quiet

 

She was alone

 

He was nowhere to be seen

 

She cursed and leant against the tree, sitting down at the base and curling herself up into a ball, staring up at the starry sky that she wished so desperately to be looking at from the comforts of her home – in her dad’s company.  She looked down again, not really wanting to think about her family – the mere thought almost reduced her to tears; but she refused to let herself cry.  Panicking in this type of situation would do no good, she needed to keep calm, and that way she would think straight.

 

She stood up and strained her ears to listen for the sound of foot steps, but heard nothing.  She wasn’t sure if that fact was relieving or scarier.  She began to lightly jog back, as she became more and more panicked; she broke into a run, not caring about the burning that she felt in her chest and legs.

 

She ran, and ran, and ran; the dark and intimidating world around her becoming a blur as she ran.  She wasn’t sure whether this was the speed she was running at earlier, or whether she would have normally been capable of running this fast, but right now she didn’t really care, she needed to keep running.

 

“Uhh!”  She grunted as she felt her body being slammed against a tree.  She fell limp and fell onto her hands and knees, shaking with fatigue, pain and confusion.

 

Out of nowhere, her pursuer had found her and forced her into a tree.  Lexi knew that she had to ignore the pain she felt, get up – off of the ground – and fight, or run.

 

She glared up at him as she clutched her aching shoulder, she stood up slowly and shakily, his image bouncing around in front of her eyes, like when you tried to focus on the horizon line from the view point of a rocking boat, she squinted and gasped as she took his image into her brain, he was there, in front of her, smiling; and blocking her escape.

 

He walked closer to her, uncomfortably close; And stared into her eyes, she knew she would never forget those eyes, those bright green eyes in the darkened atmosphere, that seemed to almost be sprinkled with red, but maybe she was just ‘seeing red’ from anger and fear.

 

She felt utterly helpless, and knew that he had won, and he knew it too.  But she did have one more trick up her sleeve which came to mind just as fast as she had executed the plan.

 

She jumped up, grabbing hold of a branch, wincing in pain as her aching shoulder felt her weight on it, swung back, and kicked him, the force giving her enough momentum to swing forward and run.

 

But he grabbed her ankle as he fell

 

She fell onto her stomach, letting out a gasp of air, and pain, as she felt herself wheeze and pant for oxygen while her chest ached – like a fire was surrounding her lungs and heart.

 

She laid there, her tired eyes threatening to shut and draw her out of her conscious state and draw her into a world of peace.

 

But she didn’t even have the strength for that

 

Somehow she managed to stay awake throughout the entire ordeal, her eyes wide with fear and pain, her mouth and throat dry, and whenever she tried to scream, only a creaking breath left her throat.

 

And that was where he left her when he was satisfied. 

 

Cold

 

Alone

 

Terrified

 

Alone

 

Shaking

 

Alone

 

Helpless

 

Alone

 

Vulnerable

 

Alone

 

Angry

 

Alone

 

Ace opened his eyes when he felt an arm around his middle squeeze tighter and tighter, and he tilted his head towards Lexi, feeling her wet tears against his chest and shoulder, and hearing her soft whimpering as she quietly cried in her sleep.

 

Ace sat up, making sure that she stayed still and didn’t notice his movement, he watched her for some time, his eyes never staying from her tense facial expression, his ears never picking up the sounds of anything other than her whimpering.

 

He frowned at the pitiable sight and knew that he should take her out of her dream world; obviously it was making her upset.

 

He leant down and brushed some hair out of her eyes and gently rubbed her shoulder, softly calling out her name, gradually making his voice louder when she didn’t wake up.

 

Eventually he saw her eyes open and gaze blankly at the empty space next to her.  The morning light began to shine through the gaps in the curtains, and so the fact that he wasn’t present in the last place she had seen him was obvious.

 

She sat up quickly, jumping when she noticed he was there, looking at her with saddened and concerned eyes.  He pulled her into a hug, which she seemed to find comfort in, and he held onto her tightly, wishing that she was like a sponge and he could just squeeze all of the sadness and stress out of her and leave her happy.

 

He played with her ears as they flopped back against her back by his hands, running the soft and silky ears through his fingertips.  “What happened, Lexi?”  He spoke quietly again, his voice barely above a whisper.  He planted his face in her hair, shut his eyes, and waited for an answer.

 

She felt her wet tears against his chest and felt her sharp intake soft breath as she cried against him, but he didn’t want to hear or fell her weeping against him.

 

He pulled away from the embrace, finding that she gripped onto him like a vice, but eventually he was able to detach her from him, He placed his hand underneath her chin and looked up at her, using his other hand to wipe away the fresh tears from her cheeks and eyes. 

 

When he had cleared her vision, he pressed his lips against hers and held the kiss for a while, hoping to calm her down.  “Hey, Lex?”  He prompted his previous query as he entwined his fingers in her soft hair.

 

Lexi sniffed and drew in a breath, “I…I guess talking…talking…about….about my previous…dre…dream, was a…bad…idea.”  She sniffed and breathed as he spoke, making her words stuttered and paused, “…Ace, I…I…had…anoth…another…night…nightmare.”  She paused again and looked up at him, “Ace, it was…was from when…from…that…guy….the guy in…”

 

Ace paused her, “Who?  What guy, Lex?”  He placed his hand on her cheek.

 

“The…guy from Utah…remember?”  She sniffed and used the sleeve of Ace’s shirt to wipe away further tears which were now streaming from her eyes.

 

Ace sighed and pulled her into another hug, “Its okay, Lexi.  Its okay” He cooed as he rubbed her back, “I’m here, and dat’s all dat matters.  It was just a dream, nothin’ real.  You’re okay, you’re okay now.”  He kissed the top of her head, “I’m here.”

Thanks!

I actually got the 'inhibition of the lacrymal gland' from a chemistry talk my science class got to go on recently - there were different talks about chemistry, and one was about fear and the psycological chemistry - how the body reacts to fear

That's where that stuff came from!  biggrin

CHAPTER 27 - ANGST

She lay there, staring up at the sky above her, the moon wasn’t in sight, but the Milky Way certainly was, but for once she didn’t care for the masses of stars above her, the stars which she had the greatest view of - there was no light pollution from a big city to block them out.

 

But tonight they weren’t shining orbs above her, tonight they were measly lumps, blotches of white; blurs in front of her wet, salty, teary eyes.

 

Half clothed, she was vulnerable, but now she didn’t want to be saved, she wanted to die.  What had just happened was the worst experience of her life; she only wished that the coyote’s howl which she could hear from the desert was instead the howl of a coyote which had found fresh meat – a bunny caught out alone at night.

 

She flinched at every sound, every movement, but she didn’t fear the possibility of death, she welcomed it, but she did fear the return of the man who had put her in this position, and his friends.  She didn’t have the strength to stand up, let alone fight or run; she would be helpless to whatever sick and torturous things they would do to her next.

 

Every breath she drew into her lungs was a shaky one, and it annoyed her that her breathing was so audible when she would usually be able to keep it virtually silent, but now she felt as if she had lost everything – her safety, her love for life, her happiness.

 

She suddenly felt all of her fear and sadness drain away, she couldn’t find any more tears to cry, and so she stayed where she was, preserving what little strength she had for when she needed it or when she felt she could stand up and get home.

 

She was sore

 

She was cold – despite the warmth of the state she lived in and the warm breeze which swept by her.

 

She was angry

 

She was terrified. 

 

Suddenly her fear came back to her, just as she thought that it was too late and the men had moved off, bored by their scared ‘prey’, she heard the sound of footsteps slowly drawing closer and closer...

 

Lexi opened her eyes, she blinked several times, trying to rid herself of the visions which she saw in her eyelids whenever they covered her green eyes, the memory of that night was always so vivid when she remembered what she had endured, and the memory haunted her every time she thought of it.

 

She didn’t want to wake or worry Ace, he had had a bad night sleep too because of her bad dreams, so had the rest of her concerned team mates – but they hadn’t woken up the second time a nightmare had deprived her and Ace of sleep.

 

She sat up carefully, not wanting to wake the sleeping bunny beneath her head; she leant up on her arms and turned to look at him.  She smiled, he looked so peaceful yet still strong and wise like he was, yet there was a strange childlikeness which he had when he slept, perhaps it was the way the sheets were ruffled around him, or the way his mouth was open slightly – allowing his warm breath to leave his body.

 

She was tempted to touch him, to feel his soft fur beneath her fingers and to watch as his glistening eyes opened and locked onto her where he would give her his confident, handsome, loving and caring smile which she loved so much. 

 

Lexi knew that she shouldn’t however, despite how much she wanted to, instead her better judgement took over, the one which told her ‘no – don’t wake him, he’s tired and you know that’.  With a sigh she crawled over him and got off of the bed.

 

Lexi entered the bathroom and shut the door behind her.  She first used the toilet, being pregnant had made her need to use it far more often - which did annoy her, but at least the morning sickness hadn’t come...yet.

 

Finishing, she washed her hands and checked herself in the mirror, her hair was a mess, but it reminded her of both the pleasant....and the unpleasant memories of last night.  She leaned on the sink, taking a closer look at herself in the mirror, before leaning back and switching on the light.

 

Lexi found herself to be somewhat tired as she turned around, seemingly forgetful over what was next in her morning sequence – despite how she did the same every morning.  She considered going back to bed, but she knew that she probably wouldn’t get much sleep now that she was ‘up and about’, and she didn’t want to risk waking Ace.

 

She rubbed her right eye and sighed, grabbing a new towel from the shelf below the sink and dropping it on the floor by the bath mat (which was positioned where the shower door was).  She undid the buttons of Ace’s shirt and slid her arms out of the garment, discarding the item, and tossing it into the laundry basket by the door.

 

Turning around to face the mirror she looked at herself, she was very skinny.  She sighed and placed a hand on her abdomen, knowing that it was only a matter of time before she would begin to show visible signs that she carried a child – this was why her parents had to know soon, and she shuddered to think what the press would say, oh how they would speculate over who of the male Loonatics’ child it was...

 

She did a prolonged scan of herself, both in the mirror, and by looking down at herself; she noted the way her body looked now, and compared it with how she knew it would change later.  This sent a shiver run down her spine, she knew what some, maybe all, men were like.  A lot judged a woman by her weight and overall appearance.  Was Ace like that?  Would he be turned off by how she would look in the coming months?

 

She discarded the thought just as quickly as she had the shirt, mentally tossing it to the side, and locking it in a box where it couldn’t come across her mind again.  She opened the shower door, flinching when it creaked loudly, and she strained her super hearing to try and determine whether the sound had woken Ace up.  She heard him mumble something incoherent as he rolled over, it made her smile.

 

The water was warm and pleasant as it began to soak her fur and reach her skin, and it immediately began to both make her feel refreshed and awake as well.  She stepped back to where the water could run over her head to wet her ears and hair and she began to muse over the questions which had plagued her mind earlier and for the majority of last night. 

 

She wasn’t certain whether Ace was the type of person who judged a woman on their physical appearance rather than their mind, and she didn’t really want to know.  She knew that he had found her attractive when they both met, but his love for her had grown over time after finding out what she was like – he had told her that last night.  But whether it was a yearning for their relationship to be more than a friendship because of whom she was that made Ace ask her to dinner on their first official date, she wasn’t sure.  She hated to think that he was just the kind of man who started a relationship purely to ‘get in her pants’, and the thought made her shudder and stare awkwardly up at the ceiling.

 

She tried her best to contradict her abrupt conclusion of him, but she couldn’t help but think of where his ‘concern’ for her had just led to...other things.  Their first date, it was nothing like she had ever hoped to come out of a relationship, she never wanted to be the kind of person who had their first date end with that...and now the consequences of ‘that’ had  devastating results – their first date had wound up with him impregnating her!  And then last night, she was upset, he had comforted her, and then it had happened again.

 

She slumped her shoulders and frowned, was this all their relationship was? He comforted her and then got a reward for it?   She wasn’t sure if she wanted to speak to him about it, though, she didn’t want him to get mad, but she knew that he’d eventually be able to sense that something was wrong.

 

She sighed and picked up the soap and began washing, deciding to think of something else, she ran her hands through her ears and let her mind wander...

 

Her heart thudded in her chest as she heard the footsteps, they were coming closer and closer, she noticed the bright beam of a torch as it shone on the tree near her, the light which illuminated it allowed her to glimpse the sight of a drop of fresh blood on the trunk, she wandered if that was from the blow she received when the mad had forced her against the tree.

 

Realising this, she felt a throbbing in her arm which she hadn’t recognised until now, it stung and she could feel liquid along her arm, warm liquid which oozed from the sore spot and trickled to the ground underneath her.

 

“Lexi!” 

 

The torch light shone in her direction again, this time its bright beam hit her eyes and she automatically closed them, reopening them when she could tell that the light was gone, but it left her unable to see properly and she had to blink so regain her sight.

 

“Lexi?” 

 

She heard a voice, and she instantly recognised it, it was Pete, one of her older brothers, she was sure of it. 

 

But she didn’t have the strength to call back to him.

 

She tried to scream, and shout, but all that erupted from her throat was a crackle, her mouth and throat was dry, she was too afraid to make her presence known to her own brother.

 

She heard his retreating footsteps, and she tried desperately to make a noise, if she couldn’t make a sound from her vocal chords than she would try something else – she was desperate.

 

She reached for something, a stone, a branch, anything that would be easy to throw and that would still make a sound if it missed its mark.

 

Her feeble fingers landed on a large stone to her right, she gripped it, and crossed her fingers in her left hand, praying that it would work. 

 

She threw the rock, straining her arm as she did so, it didn’t go far, it hit the lower branches of the tree in front of her, merely shaking its leaves, but her brother wasn’t listening for sounds of movement from trees, he was listening for his sister – desperate to find her safe.

 

Lexi shut her eyes and felt a lump develop in her throat, she couldn’t think of anything else to do, she couldn’t feel anything which she could use to make noise, and she allowed the tears to escape her eyes and roll down her cheeks – knowing that it wouldn’t be until tomorrow that someone might find her.

 

Her intake of breath and her loud sob which accompanied it reached her brother’s ears, as she saw the light suddenly shine in her direction again, this time it didn’t hit her eyes.

 

“Lexi...you there?”

 

She was desperate, she strained her voice to call out to him, but all that came out was a measly croak, she resorted desperately to whacking the ground next to her with her hands, rhythmically so that he might realise that it was in fact someone, not something making a noise.

 

She heard a snap and a crack in her right hand and she winced in pain, tears that were drying from her prior sobs now spilling down her cheeks from the sudden pain she found herself in.

 

Her brother was quick to reach her; he walked carelessly over the small bushes and weeds near her, for once unconcerned about the possible snakes which could be lurking in the undergrowth.

 

As soon as he laid eyes on her he dropped the torch, its light shone towards her hip, Pete dropped to his knees beside her and gently placed his hands on her cheeks, “Lexi?”  He assessed her condition, the state of her clothing, the bruises and cuts on her arms and legs, the wet tears on her cheeks under his warm hands.

 

He saw her furrow her eyebrows in sadness, he heard her shaky breaths and watched as her eyes dropped their gaze from his face to her legs, he followed where her eyes went and gasped when he realised immediately what had happened.

 

“Lexi...”  He furrowed his eyebrows in sadness and anger, sadness for what had happened to his younger sister, and anger towards whoever had done it to her.

 

Pete raised his level to a crouch, and slowly moved to her legs, not taking his eyes off of her face, he knew that she would be distressed and he wanted her to make sure that she didn’t think that he had the same intentions as the man, or men, who had done this to her.

 

He only took his eyes off of her to find the waistband of her jeans, when he had a grip on them he slowly and carefully pulled them up; scared to accidentally hurt her if she had any cuts on her upper legs.

 

He realised that her underwear too wasn’t in place, and he looked away as he pulled her pants up all the way, not wanting to make her more uncomfortable.  She slapped his arm when she felt his hand on her leg.

 

“Oww, Lex?!”  He was about to complain but knew that she was only uncomfortable, he would have to put up with her, but he hadn’t expected how hard she could hit, and he didn’t look forward to carrying her home.

 

She hit him a second time, this time with her right hand, he heard the grinding sound and it made him flinch.  He carefully took her hand, trying to feel for any breakage, but wasn’t too thorough, he didn’t want to hurt her.

 

“Lexi, your hand....”  He whispered quietly, looking back at her.

 

“Mhmm...” 

 

“Lexi you need some water, I need to get you home, and Leah and Alex can have a look at you.”

 

“Mhmm?!”

 

He reached for his phone, eyeing her as he heard her mumble of protest.  “Lexi, they need to see if there’s anything wrong, something could have gotten infected...”

 

Lexi felt her eyelids droop when he made the phone call first to their home, and then to her other brothers and friends who had gone to find her.

 

Pete turned back to Lexi and slipped off his jacket, laying it over her bare arms as a blanket before he carefully scooped his arms underneath her, to carry her back home...

 

Lexi’s head shot up, the water which rained from the shower was now becoming an annoying whine to the sound-sensitive bunny.  She turned around and turned off the water, quickly opening the shower door and picking her towel up off of the floor.

 

She dried her face and arms before wrapping herself in the white towel, warming herself up before drying herself thoroughly and dressing.

 

Lexi folded up the white towel and hung it over the towel rail to dry, she then opened the bathroom door slowly – careful not to wake Ace, she tip-toed out of the room and started for the corridor to the kitchen.

 

--

 

She was surprised to see Tech standing by the coffee maker when she entered the kitchen space, she watched him as the coffee maker finished up while she walked down the last step into the kitchen.

 

“Morning Tech.”  She greeted him with a smile when he turned around and realised her presence.

 

“Oh, morning Lexi.”  He smiled back at her, though his speech was slow and deep, he was obviously tired, “Coffee?”  He asked, gesturing to the cup which he held in one hand.

 

“Yeah, Coffee sounds great!”  Lexi smiled at the coyote, he returned the gesture as he turned around again to make the bunny the beverage she desired.

 

Lexi turned around and headed to the table, she sat down in one of the seats as Tech came over with two cups of coffee, he set Lexi’s cup down in front of her, and placed his own in the space opposite to her.  “Thanks.”  Lexi smiled.

 

Tech sat down in his place and took a sip from his cup, he eyed her as he did so, before gesturing to her cup.  “Aren’t you gonna have any?  I didn’t poison it.”

 

Lexi smiled back, “I know Tech, it’s just a tad too hot for me right now.”

 

“You want me to put some cold water in it?”

 

Lexi gave him a surprised look, “Tech, I can walk, it’s not like this baby thing’s rendered me immobile.”

“Yeah, I guess.”  Tech shrugged, “Just trying to help, I’m at my wits end with this.”

 

“What do you mean?”  She leaned closer into the table to listen, her face hovering over the coffee mug.

 

“Well, I’m used to knowing what’s wrong with you guys when you’re sick...but this, It makes me feel nervous, because I’m not an expert at this kind of thing, so I’m worried that something will happen to you, and none of us will know what to do to help you.”

 

Lexi frowned, “Tech I...”  She stopped, suddenly her hand gripped her stomach and her breathing became shaky as she felt a lump develop in her throat and her forehead begin to moisten with sweat.

 

“Lexi?!”  Tech stood up, letting his chair clatter to the floor as he did so, he swiftly walked around the table to her and pulled her seat out from under the table, and turned it so that her body would face him.

 

Tech crouched down on his haunches to where we could see her face, her eyes were locked onto her stomach, she was tense - almost as if she was trying to force herself to do something, or to not do something.

 

“Tech.”  She gasped, “I...I think....that....coffee...was...a bad...idea.”  She had to stop herself every so often so catch her breath.

 

Tech looked at her, confused for a moment, before he realised what she meant, “Oh.  Lexi, stay there, don’t move, I don’t want you to upset your stomach, don’t move.”

 

She nodded.

 

Tech disappeared for a few moments before he returned with a plastic bucket in one hand, he jumped down the steps into the kitchen, and placed the bucket in front of her on the floor.

 

He crouched down in front of her so that he could make eye contact with her, “Lexi...are you okay?”

 

Lexi drew in a deep breath of air before replying, “Yeah, I think so...”

 

Tech half smiled, “I’ll get rid of the coffee.”

 

Lexi looked up at him as he stood up, “No Tech, don’t worry about it...”

 

“Lexi, I don’t want you to get sick, especially since you’ve got nothing in you right now, you’ll feel empty but you won’t want to eat because you’ll be too afraid.”  He saw Lexi’s look of objection, “I know what you’re like, Lex.”

 

Lexi frowned; Tech ignored her expression as he turned around and poured their two cups of coffee into the sink.  He turned back to face her, and leant against the sink, analysing her expression, “Don’t look at me like that Lexi, you’re pregnant now, your needs come first – I don’t want to see you get hurt or upset or sick because of us.”

 

“Tech...”

 

“Get used to it, Lexi.”

 

Lexi was surprised by his tone and jumped, immediately regretting it as her stomach churned, she clutched it and shut her eyes, slowly rocking herself backwards and forwards to calm herself.

 

Tech frowned, “I’m sorry Lexi...I guess I’m just tired...”  He pushed himself away from the sink and stood awkwardly in the middle of the room; he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.  “I’ll be in the lab...”

 

He walked away hastily, and he managed to reach the steps by the time Lexi realised where he was, “Wait Tech...”  But he was already out of ear shot, Lexi sighed, “Don’t go...”  She muttered.

 

She turned back to face the bucket on the floor in front of her and her eyes drifted to the phone mounted on the wall, her lip trembled at the thought of having to contact her family about the pregnancy....she knew it would be better to tell them in person rather than over the phone....but it might not be good for Ace’s health. 

 

She sighed, she knew that it was more the males in her family that would be hazardous to her health, mainly her father, her brothers would be more understanding....but still disappointed in her, and annoyed at Ace. 

 

They did care, they always had when she was in some form of trouble, but she was still afraid of what they would think of her, what friends and other family would think of her, what Ace’s parents would think of her....what her team mates thought of her...

 

Everyone would think of her in a negative way, when the press found out, she knew they would speculate over who the father was, and that would only lead others into thinking that she slept with her team mates...all of them.

 

She felt tears in her eyes and a deep sadness, like a trembling lump had developed in her throat and chest, she could remember the last time she felt this sad and scared, and angry all at the same time...it wasn’t too difficult to remember...

 

She shivered, but she couldn’t determine whether it was from coldness of fear, and she naturally leaned into the closest source of warmth; her brother, Pete, who carried her towards her home.

 

They were still some way away from her home, her brother wasn’t walking as quickly as he would normally be able to, but it wasn’t because of the extra weight he had to travel with, but more with the hope of meeting up with her other brothers and friends who had gone out to find her; before they were confronted with their parents’ concerned questions, and worries.

 

“Pete!”

 

Her brother stopped and checked behind him, locating two forms jogging towards him.

 

“You got her?”  One called as they drew closer.

 

“Yeah.”  Pete said quietly, “Where’re the others?”

 

“Not too far away, we called ‘em, said they’d be here soon.”  One said, pointing behind him.

 

“Good, I want to talk with you guys before we get to the house.”

 

“You sure that’s a good idea?”  The one who had spoken first asked, he walked up to the male bunny and analysed the person in his arms.  “She doesn’t look good...”

 

“Hey!”  They all turned to the north at the sound of a call from ten or so metres away, where they noticed five others approaching.  “Pete, Mitch, Spence – she okay?”

 

They didn’t answer, they weren’t sure what to say, Pete kept his mouth firmly shut, Spencer and Mitchell didn’t dare speak, and they didn’t know how their brother, or Lexi, would react.  Instead they let the others continue to walk and draw closer to their ‘group huddle’.

 

Lexi’s eyes were half shut; she could recognise the voices of her brothers, and some of the others who were approaching.  She was disoriented though, and she couldn’t decipher where she was, she wanted desperately to be at home where it was safe, of course she trusted her brothers and friends – and she felt safe with them around – but she didn’t want to be outside, where the men were, the men who had caused this.

 

She shut her eyes fully in sadness when she thought of that man as she leaned in closer to Pete, clutching his shirt as her lip trembled, She couldn’t erase his face from her mind, it appeared whenever she shut her eyes, and it terrified her, he would haunt her for as long as her eyes were shut – she would never be free.

 

Noticing his sister’s grip, Pete looked down at her, he frowned deeply at the terrified expression on her face, but he didn’t know what to do or what to say, instead he pulled the jacket up over her shoulders and held her tighter.

 

She looked up at him, as he turned back to the group who now stood before him, she glanced at the others, Spencer and Mitchell were closest to Pete, with Michael walking towards the small group - all of her brothers were with her, they were the closest ones to her that she could see their confused, yet stern faces.  Pete’s was anguished, he knew what had happened to his sister, but his expression was firm as he tried to hide his sadness and anger, but she knew what he really felt.

 

The others, her close friends, stood farther away, but were still close enough that even in the dark she could distinguish who they were, Jeremy and Josh – two brothers of her age who were in her sister’s band, who were perhaps her closest male friends, then there was Anthony and Rick, two pilot friends of her brothers.

 

“Pete, what the hell happened?”  Mitchell muttered to his brother.

 

Pete replied loudly, addressing everyone, “Look, what happened here was bad, but, whatever’s said and explained in the house, will not be said or repeated in front of Teresa, she’s nine, I don’t want her to be freaked out by this.

 

“Well what do we tell her, she’s gonna want to know what’s happened!”

 

Pete hesitated, looking across at Josh, “We’ll just say that she was hurt.”

 

Spencer raised his eyebrows in concern, “You’re saying that one of my sister’s was hurt, yet that’s not exactly it?  What happened to her?”  His voice was frantic, pleading, angry and desperate all in one sentence.

 

Anthony sighed, “Let’s get back, your parents’ll wanna know what’s happened, and Lexi looks cold.”

 

She made brief eye contact with all of them, none of them looked happy to see her like they usually were, instead, as they walked back towards the house, they looked pitied, because they knew that something bad had happened to their sister, their friend, but they didn’t know what was wrong with her.

 

They only waited silently to hear what had happened to her...

 

Lexi jumped and gasped when she felt two arms slide over her shoulders and wrap themselves around her middle.

 

“Mornin’ Lex.”  She felt Ace’s warm breath on her cheek.

 

“Ace.”  She gasped, trying to catch her breath.

 

“Sorry Lex, did I scare ya?”  He asked as he turned her chair around to face him, he leant over her, bending down slightly so that he was level with her, and rested his arms on her legs.

 

“Just a tad...”  She sighed, “Now where’s my morning kiss?”  She rose and eyebrow and smirked at him.

 

“Impatient much?”  Ace smirked back, he leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers.   When he finally pulled away he stared at her in surprise, “What’s up with you?”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

Ace seemed dazed as he stood up, “Dat was more tongue than I’m used to.”

 

Lexi blushed, “Sorry...”

 

“Don’t be, I liked it.”  He smiled and took her hands, pulling her up to face him, but suddenly remembering something, he gently pulled her against him and rested a hand on her stomach, “Sorry, dat didn’t....stir anythin’ up in there, did it?”

 

“No Ace, that sickness has been...and gone....for now.”

 

“Oh, dat’s good I guess.”  He rested his hands on her hips when he spoke next, “So...what was with da enthusiasm with da kiss back there?”

 

She looked down, gazing blankly at the upside-down triangle on his chest, she rested her hands on it, before staring back up at him, “I was just thinking of all of the good times we’ve had together...as a couple.”

 

He smiled back at her, but his smile soon disappeared as a realisation came to his mind, “Does dat mean there have been bad points as well?”

 

Lexi accidentally gave him a guilty look, but she soon placed her gaze to where her hands were, but not before he had the chance to comment on her expression.

 

“What bad t’ings, Lex?”

 

“We’ll talk about it...later, Ace...”

 

--

 

“Okay Lex, I’ve waited an entire day, what were those ‘bad parts’ you referred to earlier?”  Ace asked as he led her into his room, the lights were off, it was past midnight, but the two knew their way around his room easily in the dark.

 

He held onto her hand as he pulled her gently though his doorway, along the ‘hallway’ and towards his bed, “What bad parts?”  She answered quickly.

 

The two were already in their pyjamas and had brushed their teeth in Lexi’s room earlier after she had changed clothes for the night.  Ace sat down next to Lexi on his bed and turned to face her, “Lexi, you know what I’m talkin’ about.”

 

She bit her lip and stared up at the ceiling to think.

 

Ace looked at her worriedly, “You can tell me, I won’t be mad, what’s wrong?”

 

 “I just want to test something....” She replied quietly.  She leant towards him and kissed him, her hands resting on his bare chest, caressing the fur with her fingers.  She felt him kiss back, and moved her hands from his chest to her own, and began unbuttoning her pyjama shirt.

 

Ace pulled away suddenly, “Lexi, what are you doing?”  He stared down in surprise at her unbuttoned shirt and took her hands to move them away from her torso, before proceeding to do the buttons back up.

 

She frowned at him, only to have him send her a suspicious glare, “What were you ‘testing’?”  He raised an eyebrow at her.

 

Lexi frowned, “Ace I was just....thinking this morning...about....something...”  She glanced up at him before staring down at the small space between them, “You know what, it’s nothing important.”  She turned to face the pillows and to pull the bed sheets back, but Ace restrained her, holding onto her hands and pulling her against him.

 

“If it’s about us, Lex, then it’s definitely important.”

 

She bit her lip, “Ace...it’s just that...I find that...you know last night...what happened....”

 

He raised an eyebrow, “You mean da nightmares?”

 

“No.”  She sighed, “Before that...before we went to sleep...”

 

“Yeah...”

 

“Don’t you think that what we did...was a little...sudden?”  She saw the questioning look he gave her, “As in, we were talking...you were trying to help me with the whole...baby prospect...and then just like that,”  She snapped her fingers, “we ended up...”

 

“What are you sayin’, Lex?”

 

“Ace, I just...remember our first date, that’s the whole reason we’re in this mess,”  She placed a hand on her abdomen and bit her lip, “Ace I’ve known of girls who let their first date end like that, and I swore that I wouldn’t be one of them, my idea of a perfect first date was that I’d have a great time, we’d date for a few months before we decided to show love in that way – and that’s not what happened...and it...it makes me feel wrong.”

 

Ace frowned at her, “I’m sorry Lex...like I’ve told Alex, I never meant for dis to happen, I had never even imagined dat dat was how our date would end...if I had known...I would’ve done something to stop dis...”

 

“Yeah”  Lexi sighed quietly, “It kinda makes me wonder where we would be if that hadn’t happened...if the date had just ended with us going back to our own rooms for the night...But, I guess we can’t do anything to stop this now, so we’ve got to just...endure it.”  Her voice cracked at the last two words.

 

“Come here Lex.”  Ace held his arms out for her, and Lexi crawled into his embrace, he wrapped his arms tightly around her, and rested his chin on her head, inhaling the scent of her hair.  “Lexi if I could take dat baby out of you now, so dat it wouldn’t hurt either of you, and so dat we could watch it grow without it makin’ you upset, or putting you in pain; I would, I’d do it straight away at da very thought, but I can’t, Lex.”

 

 He shut his eyes and sighed into her hair, “But I wish I could.  Dis baby’s hurting you, making you upset, if a person was making you feel dat way I’d never let them, nor would I let them forget dat I would do anythin’ to protect you from pain, and now I feel helpless, because there’s nothin’ I can do, and I have to look at you like this, and I can’t do anythin’ to stop it – I’m being overpowered by an unborn baby!” 

 

He pushed her away from him gently and wiped the tears from her eyes, “But it’s my kid, Lex.  And dat’s somethin’ we can’t change, and I wouldn’t trade dat for anythin’ else, you and this baby are all I’m thinkin’ about during a lot of the day, the two of you are part of me, Lex, dat baby is us, it’s everythin’ I could want, Lexi, I want dis baby, I really do!  I only wish dat it wouldn’t be making you dis sad, I can’t see you sad, Lex, because then I feel angry, and the only t’ing I can be angry at is my kid, but it hasn’t done anythin’ wrong.”  He brushed her hair away from her eye with his fingers, “Please be happy Lex, it’s da only thing I could ask for right now, I know dis is hard, but I need you, Lex, and I need you to be happy,” He placed a hand on hers, over the place where their child was growing, “We both need you to be happy.”

 

Lexi smiled at him and sniffed, using her wrist to wipe a tear off of her cheek, “You’re right.”  She placed her other hand over his, stroking the fur on his hand with her thumb, she smiled down at herself, at the place where life was being made inside of her, “I’ll keep him safe.”  She said quietly, “I won’t let anything happen to him, Ace; he’ll be fine, I promise.”  She looked up at Ace and smiled.

 

Ace couldn’t quite place the smile she gave him, he had never seen that kind of smile on her face, it made her glow, and her eyes sparkled, she looked like the most beautiful thing he had ever lain his eyes upon, her smile was so warm...and he knew what it was, motherhood, it was realisation that she carried a miracle within her womb, and it was her child, made up of half of her, and half of the man she loved more than anything, the child was them.

I feel that this has somewhat of an abrupt ending, my apologies - but it was becoming too long!

CHAPTER 28 - 'FIRST DATE'

Ace and Lexi left the movie theatre hand in hand, the streets were dark and quiet – they were the last to leave the theatre, and so their accompanied audience must have already left.

 

The two were out of uniform, and so their fur colour had returned to their respective Cream-tan, and Grey colour.  Ace was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans, a brown T-shirt, and a smart Brown-striped Blazer - jacket.  Lexi was wearing a pair of Purple skinny jeans, with a Black and White striped T-Shirt, and a Black Jacket.

 

Ace kissed Lexi on the cheek before he led her back to his motorcycle which he had parked nearby.  He helped her to put the helmet on, before placing his own over his head.  “Hold on!”  He looked behind himself, at Lexi, with a smile.  In response, she leaned closer into him, and wrapped her arms around his middle as Ace revved the engine of the motorcycle before the two bunnies sped off into the night.

 

Lexi liked how safe she felt when she rode behind Ace, he liked to drive fast, but she knew that he would never do anything which could put her in danger of being hurt.  She enjoyed the feeling of warmth as she pressed herself further against his back, and she loved the feeling of speed and exhilaration as the wind whipped past her ears and ribbon as they sped further and further away from central Acmetropolis.

 

Normally she would want to know why they were leaving the large city, why so many signs reading ‘You are now leaving Central Acmetropolis’ and ‘Thank you for visiting Central Acmetropolis’ sped past them.  She looked back once, seeing the bright lights of Acmetropolis draw further and further away.  She saw their head quarters, as it rose much higher than any of the other buildings, the floating blue orb shimmered and sparkled – it reminded her of Ace’s eyes.  She liked how the golden lights of other buildings became blurred as she blinked, and how the amount of headlights from cars began to dwindle as they distanced themselves more and more from the centre of the busy city.

 

When she felt the motorbike start to turn a corner, she looked back ahead, not wanting to unbalance herself.  She gasped as she realised where they were, it seemed close to the area where Rev used to live – in the desert areas surrounding the city.  The desert expanse wasn’t as large as what she would usually see in Utah, but it was still enough to make her smile and rest her chin on Ace’s left shoulder as she leant against him and slightly tightened her grip around him – trying to hug him.

 

Ace slowed the motorcycle now, perhaps he wanted to be more cautious incase something happened, as there wouldn’t be as many witnesses to aid them if they crashed or lost control of the vehicle.

 

He eventually stopped the bike completely and removed his helmet; Lexi leaned back away from him, and took her own off too.  She looked around her, the sky was a dark blue around the horizon and it darkened to an inky black as she scanned the sky.  She smiled widely when she saw the millions of stars above them, the stars that she could never see from the city because of the light pollution, but now she could see all that the Milky Way galaxy had to offer.  The moon wasn’t in the sky, a new moon would appear the next night, which made it easier to view the stars, but harder to see their surroundings.

 

Lexi could vaguely make out the shapes of butes and rock formations in the distance, as well as the slight silhouettes of cactuses.  As she scanned the land around them, her gaze finally rested on Ace, who had turned himself around and now faced her, he smiled.  “Pleased?”

 

Lexi was slightly taken aback by his brief question, but smiled and nodded, “Yes, but what....”

 

Ace interrupted her query by pressing his lips against hers, when he pulled away he smiled, “Dis morning – While you were still asleep - I was t’inkin’ about what you said last night, about how you wish dat our first date hadn’t ended up da way it did.  And so it got me t’inkin’, and I know we can’t erase what happened,”  He held her hands in his, “But at least tonight we could try and have our ‘first date’ da way it could have been.”

 

Lexi bit her lip whilst smiling, before throwing her arms around him, “Ace, I don’t know what to say...”

 

“How about ‘Okay’.” Ace raised an eyebrow at her.

 

“Okay.”  She smiled.

 

“And so, to make dis enjoyable....”  Ace pulled out something from his jacket pocket, “I made a playlist of songs dat I know you like, but songs dat would also be appropriate.  And, if you don’t mind getting up...”

 

Lexi, still smiling widely, stood up at his request and stood by him as he also stood.  Ace lifted up the seat that the two had been sharing, to reveal a small compartment which contained a box and a stack of blankets.

 

He first pulled out the pile of blankets and held them up so that Lexi could see them, “A bunch of blankets, since I know from a reliable source dat Deserts can be cold at night.”  He unfolded one blanket, and held it open as he walked some few paces away from the motorbike, and laid the blanket on the ground.  He then returned to pick up the box in one hand, and took Lexi’s hand, and gently guided her over, with the other. 

 

He sat down on the blanket, Lexi doing the same, while Ace opened the box and showed her the items as he arranged them on the blanket in front of the two, “I also brought drinks...”  He pulled out a bottle from within the box.  The bottle was green in colour, and was shaped like a wine bottle.  “And, Lex, since I know you don’t really want to have alcohol, dis is a wine bottle” He held it up for her to see, “But its contents is in fact Juice, while another has water in it.”  He smiled at her.

 

Lexi laughed at his actions, he was so sweet to remember that she never drank alcohol – not even at Christmas or other celebrations.  She also never drank because she knew that legally she wasn’t able to, though both her family at home and her team mates would often offer her a small amount for celebration purposes – but to be on the safe side, she would have a different beverage instead.

 

She smiled as he pulled two wine glasses out of the box, and put them in front of the two.  Ace next took out two plates and also put them in front of the two.  “And since we both have a mutual love for Italian food,”  He took out another, smaller box, “I took da liberty of preparing some home cooked Lasagne for da two of us....and hopefully it’s still warm, otherwise dis thermos box was a waste.”

 

Lexi giggled, “It’ll be fine, Ace, whatever temperature it is.”

 

“Yeah, I hope.”  Ace smiled as he took out the last of what was in the box, “Here’s the cutlery, and I’ll keep da dessert in da box so dat it doesn’t spoil...”

 

“You made dessert, too?”  Lexi raised an eyebrow in surprise.

 

“Yeah,” Ace chuckled, “My cooking skills aren’t actually dat bad, believe it or not, but Tech gave me a hand makin’ da Crème Brûlée.”

 

Lexi looked surprised, “You guys made that...and....Tech helped you make it?”

 

“Yeah,” Ace smiled, “Who knew dat dat Coyote could cook as well, I never really thought of him as da cooking type.”

 

“Yeah.”  Lexi smiled.

 

“Oh, I almost forgot.”  Ace pulled out a vase and a red rose from the box; he placed the rose in the vase and positioned it in the centre of the blanket.

 

“Perfect.”  Lexi smiled before kissing him on the cheek, “...Only it’s a tad difficult to see...did you bring a flashlight?”

 

“Actually, I brought matches instead.”  Ace smiled; he pulled out a small box of matches from his pocket.  He then stepped over the blanket carefully and bent down to pick up some sticks.  When he had gathered a sufficient amount of fire wood, he put the sticks in a pile, opposite to where he and Lexi were sitting, and made sure that the sticks weren’t too close to the blanket.  He struck the match against the side of the match-stick box, and lit the wood, almost immediately the fire engulfed the pile of sticks, the golden flames licking and climbing the wood until all of the pile was glowing under the starry light.

 

Ace then scooped some sand around the bottom of the camp fire, so that the sand would stop the fire from spreading over anything else, before he returned to Lexi’s side once again.

 

He poured them both a glass of water, before serving them each a slab of Lasagne; they began eating in silence at first, before Lexi broke the silence by commenting on all that Ace had done, which had somehow prompted the grey rabbit to put the CD into his motorbike’s disk drive. 

 

Lexi smiled and rolled her eyes as he got up.  “Ace, you don’t have to, everything’s great as it is, are you turning into a perfectionist now or something?”  She smiled; Ace knew it was a joke.

 

As soon as the song had begun to play, and a slow drum beat, accompanied by two acoustic guitars sounded, Lexi’s ears perked up as she instantly recognised the song, “You put Avenged Sevenfold on here?”

 

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love
Purpose hard to find

 

“Err...Yes...”  He seemed as though he didn’t really know who was playing, and was joking when he answered her.  Ace smiled as he sat down beside her.  “Why, do you not like them as much?”

 

While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

 

“Hell yeah!”  Lexi smiled, “I saw them live with Sam and two of our guy friends....that was a fun day.”



Dear God the only thing I ask of you
Is to hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again, oh no
Once again

 

Ace smiled as he listened to the chorus, “It’s not a bad song, I like it.”  He glanced over at her, “So do they only do acoustic, country stuff?”



There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps
And all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

 

Lexi smiled, “Nah.” She shifted closer to him and leaned against him, “They pretty much match ‘Guns ‘N’ Roses’ with their awesomeness, but some of their stuff is really heavy and quite ‘screamy’, so there are some songs that I just can’t really get into.”

 

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
To hold her when I'm not around,
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

Some search, never finding a way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
When hope begins to fade...

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love
Hope is hard to find

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
To hold her when I'm not around,
When I'm much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

 

They sat in silence as the vocals stopped but the slow drum beat and the acoustic, and electric, guitars continued playing before eventually they faded away into silence.

 

By the time the six-and-a-half minute song had finished playing, the two had finished their Lasagne.  Lexi smiled at Ace, “That was really, really good, Ace.  I don’t think I’ve had a Lasagne that good in a long time.”

 

“T’anks.”  Ace smiled, “You still got room for dessert?”

 

“Yep.” 

 

As Ace put their plates and cutlery in plastic bags, and poured them both some more water, Lexi listened as the next song began to play.  “Hello, I recognise this!”  Lexi smiled as the introduction to ‘Leave Out All The Rest’ began to play.

 

“Yeah,” Ace smiled back at her as he took two small glass dishes out of the box, “I quite like it, so I figured I’d put it on the CD.  It was nice when we were campin’, so I figured it was fitting now.”  He handed her one of the small glass dishes.

 

“Yey!”  Lexi smiled, “I’m successfully brain-washing you into liking good music...mind you, this is a lot softer than their usual stuff.”

 

“I’ll have to have a listen to some of their other stuff sometime, then.”

 

Lexi smiled at him before resting her gaze on the Crème Brûlée, it looked perfect, the custard a golden yellow, while the thin layer of sugar, which had been burnt on top, was perfectly crisp.  “Wow, Ace, you really did surprise me, I didn’t think you were this good at cooking!”  She smiled as she took a bite.

 

“It’s not dat hard, Lex, just custard.”

 

“But still.”  She beamed at him, “I’m glad you can cook, I kinda suck at it.”

 

“Lex, da amount of times you’ve cooked us breakfast, not once has it not been nice – Duck would’ve said so otherwise!”

 

Lexi smirked, “I guess my cooking skills have improved...Sam and I once set Pancakes on fire, back home.”

 

Ace raised his eyebrows in both surprise and alarm, “How’d dat happen?”

 

“Honestly,” Lexi chuckled, “I really don’t know.”

 

Ace smiled at her.

 “So....were all of you guys in on this?”

 

“What do you mean?”  Ace looked down at her.

 

“Well, you said that Tech helped you cook, and Rev helped you to pick the music that I especially like...and they haven’t called to ask where we are....”

 

Ace looked up thoughtfully, and somewhat guiltily, “They know...”

 

--

 

“Guys, I decided to sort dis whole ‘first date’ t’ing out with Lex, she’s a bit upset dat it didn’t go da way she had always hoped one would, and now look where we are!  So I want to do somet’in’ nice for her, and I’ve already got it planned out, though I’m gonna need your help for some t’ings...”

 

“YOU’RE GOING ON A SECOND ‘FIRST DA....”

 

“...Duck, shut up!”  Ace moaned as he clamped his hand over Duck’s beak, “I don’t want her to know yet!”

 

“Oh.”  Was all the waterfowl said when Ace released his grip on the bird’s beak, “Wait....your first date...SO YOU’RE GONNA KNOCK HER UP TWICE?!”

 

Tech sighed in annoyance, “Duck, inside voice, you’re giving me a headache.  Anyway, Chief, what do you need help with?”

 

“Well for one, I don’t want Lexi to know about dis,” He glared at Duck, “But I also need help with finding some music ‘cause I don’t just want to put some stuff on dat she doesn’t favour...”

 

“Oh-Ace-I-can-help-with-that! Lexi-and-I-have-pretty-much-the-same-taste-in-music! Well, not-exactly-the-same-taste-she-preferes-rock-and-a-bit-of-country-whereas-I-like-pop, rock, and-hip-hop,-but-I-can’t-stand-country.  Hey-why-do-they-call-it-taste-,you-know?-and-not-as-in-taste-as-in-food, but-I-meant-taste-as-in-liking-the-same-thing,-but-not-involving-food...”

 

“Rev?!”  Duck, Ace and Tech’s voices sounded in unison.

 

Rev chuckled nervously, “Yep-sure-Ace-I-can-help!”

 

Ace smiled, “T’anks.”

 

Duck scowled as the two left the main room of their head quarters. “He’s gonna knock her up...again.” He grumbled

 

--

 

“Yeah....”  Ace sighed.  “He t’inks I’m gonna ‘knock you up, again’ but dat’s not even possible!”

 

Lexi half-smiled at him as she rested a hand on his back, rubbing gently in small circles.  “It’s not your fault, Ace...”

 

“Then who’s is it, Lex?”  Ace snapped, “Last time I checked, you couldn’t get pregnant on your own...”  He sighed when he realised that his outburst had startled her, “I’m sorry, Lex.  But no matter what way you look at dis, I’m da one to blame for dis whole mess.  Lexi, I’ll tell your family, I’ll tell both of them at da same time.”

 

“Ace...”  She said softly, feeling guilty as she knew what her family was like; how they would react to the news. 

 

“You know, Lex, Let’s stop talking about dis, we do dis every night, we talk about dis problem, and then we get upset about it.  Not tonight, I want tonight to be special, Lex.”

 

There was a short moment of silence, before Lexi finally broke it; “So...”  She smiled at him, as she wrapped her arms around her legs and leaned into him, “Anymore surprises?”

 

Ace smiled at her and stood up, offering his hand to her, “I was hopin’ you’d say dat...”

 

--

 

“Are you sure it was okay for us to just leave everything back there, Ace?”  Lexi asked as the duo biked slowly south of their prior location.  They had left their ‘campsite’ as they headed towards somewhere that Lexi had yet to know of, Ace had simply checked for something in the compartment under the seat, before they set off, and Lexi was becoming anxious.

 

“It’s fine, Lex.  No-one’ll be out here, it’s da desert, and yeah it’s not too far from da city, but still.  Don’t worry about it, Lex.  There’s nothin’ for anyone to really take, except dirty dishes!”  He turned back to look at her, giving her a smile.

 

Lexi sighed, “Yeah, I guess.”  She then gasped, “But what if the fire goes out, and we won’t be able to find our stuff?”

 

“Worst case scenario, Lex, we come back and look tomorrow, otherwise, I have a compass built in this t’ing,”  He tapped the motorbike, “I know where we were, and how far we’ve travelled, it’ll be easy to find everyt’in’ – But just in case, I did pack a few extra blankets incase we had to camp somewhere different.”

 

“You are resourceful, Ace.”  She smiled at him and nestled herself closer into him, “So where’re we going?”

 

“You’ll see, Lex; you’ll see.” 

 

Some few minutes later, Ace stopped the motorbike, Lexi leaning back - away from him – to allow him to stand, where she followed suite.

 

She looked around, not really being able to see much, there was a darker expanse some few metres ahead of her, and what she assumed to be some rocks piled at least four metres high, behind it.  She could also see some cactuses nearby. 

 

Lexi walked a few steps forwards in intrigue, as she looked around, but was suddenly stopped and pulled back slightly after Ace had wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer to him.  “Careful, Lex.”  He said softly.

 

“Why, what’s that up ahead?”  She replied, gesturing to the dark expanse ahead of her.

 

“Da surprise.”  Ace smiled as he kissed her, before letting go of her.

 

Lexi stood, completely and utterly confused by what the dark shape could be, she didn’t understand - What was the surprise?  She didn’t want to say anything unless she sounded ungrateful that Ace had brought her somewhere that she wasn’t impressed by – instead, she looked on in intrigue, and boredom, as she waited for Ace to expand on what he had previously said.

 

Just as she was about to turn around, Lexi heard a splash and felt some drops of water hit her exposed fur.  She jumped, she wasn’t expecting that.  She assumed that maybe a rock had fallen into the dark expanse, which must have been water, but she hadn’t heard Ace’s reaction – surely he was surprised by the sudden and loud movement, too?

 

She turned around, expecting to see the familiar grey rabbit, but instead she saw nothing but the dark silhouette of a motorcycle, and a large desert.  “What?”  She muttered in surprise, unable to understand where Ace was, her heart began to thud as she realised that he wasn’t there.  What had happened to him?  He had been right behind her, had he snuck off?  - No, he would never leave her alone in such a place...would he?

 

Although she began to feel terribly scared, and lost, she also felt angry, why would he leave her?  “Ace, if this is some sort of joke, it’s not....”  Her complaint was halted, when she stepped forward, as her foot had landed on something.  Something, small and light-weight, a pile of something, that wasn’t there before.

 

Lexi bent down to examine her finding, after she reluctantly picked up one of the items; she immediately recognised it as clothes.

 

Ace’s clothes

 

“What?”  She mumbled, but she turned around as she heard another sound of water moving from behind her, she stood up, and walked to the edge of the ‘pool’.  “Ace...you there?”

 

“I’m right here, Lex.” 

 

She turned her head to the right, upon hearing a familiar voice that she could vaguely make out.  “Ace...I can barely see you...”

 

“Oh.”  She heard him mutter, “I guess super enhanced vision doesn’t work both ways, huh?”

 

“If it did, you’d hear as good as I do, and realise how annoying it is.”  She sighed as she sat down.

 

She heard Ace swim closer to her until she could hear his breathing and the slight movement of his legs in the water, below her.  “Can you do me a favour, then?”  He asked

 

She smiled, “Sure.”

 

He pointed behind her, “In da compartment under da motorbike seat, there are a couple of candles, can you grab those, and pass me da box of matches in da pocket of my jeans.”

 

Lexi did as instructed, and handed him the items he had requested.  Ace lit the match and lit the two candles that Lexi had set down by the edge of the ‘pool’, he then positioned them so that they were at the left, and right hand side of the pool, casting enough light for Lexi to be able to see him, and for her to be able to see the clear pool of water, with a slight bluish tint, which Ace was resting in.

 

He smiled at her, “T’anks.  You comin’ in?”

 

Lexi sat down, “Depends, what’s the water like?”

 

“Nice and warm actually.  It must’ve been da evenin’ sun, da hot weather we’ve been getting’, and da rocks.”

 

Lexi was momentarily confused by the last item on his ‘list’, but then remembered how her father had once told her that stone was good at retaining heat, which was why the Butes and Canyons near her home were always roasting hot to the touch.

 

She smiled, “But I don’t have my bathing suit.”

 

Ace raised an eyebrow, “Neither do I.”  He winked at her.

 

Lexi could feel herself blush, they had seen each other nude before, but only a couple of times, and somehow she still felt strange revealing herself to him, whether it was because their relationship was young, or whether it was just her naturally feeling uncomfortable with having someone of the opposing gender to see her without clothes on, she wasn’t sure.  He had almost given her a heart attack that morning, after he had hopped into the shower with her; she hadn’t been expecting him to do that.

 

She bit her lip and looked around, either out of awkwardness, or from wanting to make sure that no unwanted spectators were watching them.  She reluctantly removed her clothing and lowered herself into the pool, Ace had been right, the water was warm.

 

He greeted her with a kiss as he wrapped his arms around her, “So how’d you find this place, Ace?”  She asked quietly, “You seemed to know exactly where you were going,” She looked him up and down, “And what you were doing.”

 

“Rev and I used to come here when we first got our powers, to test them out, and to test out Tech’s newest inventions, da three of us just decided to have a look around one day, and I stumbled across this...well, more like I stumbled into it, but dat’s beside the point.”  He smiled.

 

Lexi giggled, “So where was I when you guys were doing this, I would’ve liked to come along.”

 

Ace frowned, “Oh.  We had always figured dat you wouldn’t be interested.  I did ask you a couple of times though, when we first became a team....but dat was when you were still closed off, and you didn’t spend much time with us....I’m guessing it was because of what had happened recently back home?”

 

“Yeah.”  Lexi sighed, “I was pretty miserable...and untrustworthy of you, I shouldn’t have been, though, you guys were always so nice – you still are.  But I guess I was just...nervous about living with a bunch of guys that I didn’t know, and you’re all older than me...and because of the thing that happened.”

 

“Don’t worry, Lex, it’s in the past now, it won’t happen again – at least while I’m here.  But, I was quite concerned about you, there were lot’s of times where I wanted to talk to you in private, to ask you what was wrong, and whether there was anyt’in’ I could do to help, or whether one of da other guys was intimidatin’ you, or bullying you or somet’in’.  But whenever I asked you to come and talk with me alone, or even if I made eye contact and tried talking to you, as your leader, you just...pretty much vanished.

 

Lexi frowned, “D-Do the guys still think I’m like that with them? I Mean, I’ve told you what happened, and why I was miserable for so long, but I haven’t told them, what if they think I’m hiding something important from them?”

 

“Lexi, I’ve never heard any of them mention anything about dat; it was just under three years ago, anyway.  And I don’t t’ink they remember you being so miserable back then, since you’re so great now.”  He smiled and kissed her.

 

“Yeah,” She frowned, “But maybe I should tell them...I mean, I’m sure my family might think that I have told you guys, and my Dad’s bound to bring it up at some point – and it might be awkward if he does, and the others don’t know what he’s talking about.”

 

Ace kissed her again, “Only tell them if you feel comfortable with telling them, I can even tell them if you want, to save you da...awkwardness and slight embarrassment.”  He half smiled at her.

 

Lexi’s expression brightened, as she looked up at him with hopeful eyes, “Are you sure?”

 

“Of course.”  He smiled.

 

“Thanks.”

 

There was silence for some time, as the two looked at each other, Lexi resting her hands on Ace’s shoulders, while he played with her ears and ribbon as they rested against her back.  They took in the other’s appearance without a word as they enjoyed the feeling of closeness, and the soothing sensation of the other’s touch.

 

“Ace...”  Lexi finally broke the silence, quietly, “D-Do you somehow feel...”  She looked up, trying to think of a word, “...awkward...”  She made brief eye contact with him, before reverting her gaze to his chest.

 

Ace looked at her with confusion, “No...Why?”

 

Lexi shrugged before looking up at him again, “I don’t know...I...I kind of...do”

 

“Why, Lex?”  Ace looked at her with deep concern, worried that there was something wrong, that she felt uncomfortable.

 

She shrugged slightly again, “I guess maybe it’s since I’ve never swam...naked...with a guy before...or with anyone for that matter.”

 

Ace smirked, “Oh, I thought with you and your friends back in Utah being as crazy as you make out, you might have with some of your ‘guy friends’.”  He raised an eyebrow at her.

 

Lexi gasped and pushed him back, under the water, before swimming down with him, and returning with him as they breached the surface again, “No!”  She smirked, as she flicked water out of her hair and eyes, “You’re so mean!”

 

“And stunningly handsome.”  He laughed.

 

Lexi raised an eyebrow, looking as though she considered what he said, “Yeah, that too.”  She smiled

 

“Good.”  He immediately pressed his lips against hers, placing his hands on her cheeks as he kissed her.  She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back, as he slowly, and gently, pressed her against the side of the ‘pool’.

“That’s Hercules” 

 

“And dat’s Cassiopeia– dat one with da bright stars dat’s shaped like a ‘W’”

 

“And that’s Orion.”

 

“Where?”

 

“That one right there, you see the one with the three stars in a row,” She turned her head to look at him, “That really bright one is ‘Betelgeuse.”

 

Ace and Lexi were wrapped up in Blankets as they spotted constellations up in the sky above them, using their fingers to trace the shapes of where the stars formed the pictures which gave the constellations their names.

 

“So, Lex”

 

“Hmm?”

 

“How do you know all of these constellations?  I mean, I’ve named like...two, and you know of loads!”  He smiled at her with intrigue.

 

Lexi snuggled closer to him, “My Dad and I used to star gaze a lot, and when I was like... eight he used to tell me the names of them, and tell me why they got their names, along with the mythology that went with them – things like that.”

 

“Oh.”  He nodded his head, “So are you and your Dad pretty close, then?”

 

“Yeah.”  She smiled, “I am with my whole family.  We kind of act more like a bunch of friends than a ‘family unit’, obviously Mum and Dad are still the ones in charge, but we all get along well, and we spend a lot of time together, too....well, we used to...”

 

“Yeah.”  Ace sighed, and frowned, “Well at least you’ll get to see them again.”

 

“Yeah, and tell them I’m...”

 

“...Don’t even say it.”  Ace stopped her.  He brushed her hair out of her eye, “Remember, Lex, I don’t want us gettin’ upset about dis tonight.”

 

“Yeah, Ace, I’m sorry.”  She kissed him and frowned, thinking of something.

 

“What’s wrong, Lex?”  Ace sat up and looked down at her, noticing her visibly saddened features.

 

“I just - sorry for talking about the whole...thing thing again - but this is important; Ace, Sam is my twin sister, but she’s also like...my best friend, and I want to see her again, but on happier terms than the pregnancy news.  Could we ask them to stay for a few days, at least that way I can catch up with my family, and they can look around, before we break the news to them?”

 

Ace smiled, “Sure.”  He looked up to think for a minute, “How long has it been since you’ve seen....” He snapped his fingers, trying to jog his memory, “Leah?  Yeah, Leah -   How long has it been?”

 

“The same amount of time it’s been since I’ve seen my family and other friends: Three years.”  She half smiled.

 

“Well....since she’s your best friend, and Alex’s sister, they mustn’t have seen each other in a while – so why don’t we invite her too?  It might be handy, two doctors dat you know and trust in a situation like dis.”

 

Lexi beamed and hugged him, pulling him down to her level so that he laid on top of her as she kissed him and hugged him happily, “Thank you, Ace, thanks so much!”

 

Ace leaned up and smiled, before kissing her again, “So...do you t’ink they’d be free to come over some time soon?  I recently E-mailed my family, they’ve wanted to visit for a while now anyway, and they’ve wanted to meet you guys, so I’m sure they’re free to come.  But what about your family?  I mean, Leah, Sam and your brothers might be a bit busy with their jobs...”

 

Lexi looked up to think, “My sister only really has work to do occasionally, I mean, she’s a well known composer with the film industry, so they often hire her, but she usually has quite long deadlines, and she works from home; so she’ll be fine with coming.  My brothers...well the airbase they train at isn’t too far from town, and so sometimes I’d drive up to see them, or to pick them up, and a lot of the guys there like me, and miss me apparently, so I’m sure if my brothers tell them that they’re planning to come and see me, they’ll be able to.  But I think the hardest to get to come here will be Leah,  she’s only recently become a surgeon, too, so she might be expected to do quite a lot of work...unless she can somehow ask for a bit of a break – she has been working hard anyway.”

 

Ace nodded his head in confirmation, “So what’s the likelihood of your family actually being home when we call them?”

 

“Pretty good,”  Lexi smiled, “The only other place I can imagine them being is in Phoenix visiting my Mum’s brothers and siblings....and perhaps they could be in Franklin, in Tennessee, visiting my Dad’s brothers, but that’s the furthest away they’d be, and I doubt they’d be there for too long; Sam can pretty much work from anywhere as long as she has her guitar and laptop...and sometimes a piano, whereas my brothers probably can’t stay away for too long since they have their training to do.”

 

“What about your Mum and Dad, you said they worked, too.”

 

“Well yeah but my Mum runs a small corner store with Leah’s Mum, and sometimes my grandma helps out too, so my Mum can be away from home for a while.  And my Dad, he’s a cop, but they don’t really get that much trouble back home; and I’m sure the police force can survive without one cop, anyway.”

 

“Okay.”  Ace smiled, “So I guess we’re gonna have to tell them soon, it’s better for it to be sooner rather than later, and at least if we call soon they’ll be able to have a chance to sort out when they can all get here, and how; and then we can finally get a date for when dis whole shebang happens!”

 

“Yeah.”  Lexi smiled as she stared off into space, “So what about your family?  You know loads about mine, I’ve hardly heard much about yours.”

 

“So much for ‘let’s not talk about dis tonight’” Ace chuckled, Lexi giggled too.   “Well...my Dad’s an actor, my Mum doesn’t work, so they just travel around together to wherever they need to go when my Dad’s hired.  My uncle, who I used to live with before I moved here, and my cousin live in Florida, right by the sea.  My cousin is a surfing instructor, while my uncle’s an architect.”

 

Lexi smiled and nodded her head as he spoke, “So...what are they like and...Umm....how do you think they’re gonna...umm...react...to the news?”  She stuttered as she spoke, not exactly making eye contact with Ace, as she was worried about his reply to her query.

 

Ace rubbed the back of his neck and looked up to think, getting off of Lexi and sitting beside her, “Umm...honestly, I don’t t’ink they’ll be as upset and angry as your family will be, since it’s not their son/nephew/cousin dat will be going through a lot of physical...changes...and...Pain...”  He winced at the last word, “But I t’ink they’ll still be pretty surprised and disappointed dat I let dis happen.”

 

Lexi frowned and looked down, “Ace...”

 

“Yeah?”  He said softly, looking at her with concern, “What’s wrong?”

 

“Will...what do you think you’re parents will think...about...me, I mean, surely when they find out about this, they’ll judge me in some way, won’t they?”

 

Ace gave her a guilty smile as he picked up and stone and began fiddling with it in his hands, whilst looking up at the calming, starry sky above them, “My dad used to always expect a lot of me, sometimes even more than I could physically do.  When I tried to get into da movie business, and wound up being a stunt double, he didn’t seem pleased.  But I don’t know what he’ll t’ink of you...” he looked at her and frowned, “If anyt’in’ I t’ink he’ll probably focus more of his anger on me, and probably just complain that I didn’t listen to the important t’ings he told me, and dat I’ve disgraced him somehow...”

 

“...What?”  Lexi whispered, tears threatening to spill down her cheeks.  She crawled over to him and hugged him, “Why would he be so disappointed with you?  Why, is and was he so disappointed with you?”  Her sadness quickly started to turn into anger, “There’s nothing wrong with you, and you’re perfect in every way, Ace!  What – Why would he...”

 

“Lexi,” Ace sighed, rubbing her back gently, “Don’t be like dat, he can just get a bit stressed sometimes, he’s proud of me, of how I’ve been able to lead this team, and do so much better in life than he ever imagined I could, and besides, if he got annoyed my mum and uncle would calm him down – they’re good at seeing da rational side in t’ings.”

 

Lexi’s mood seemed to brighten, “Are you sure?”

 

“Positive, Lex.” 

 

She nodded and smiled at him.

 

“So.....”  Ace said casually, looking at his watch, “You wanna get some sleep?”

 

“Yeah, have you got anymore blankets?  I’m a bit cold...”  Lexi replied, looking around their ‘campsite’.  After swimming, they had returned to their previous spot, where they had eaten, and had packed away their rubbish, and laid an extra two blankets on the ground to serve as some sort of comfortable place for them to sleep for the night.

 

Ace had folded up his jacket and was going to use it as a pillow for himself, he knew that Lexi would use him as a pillow anyway, and so he didn’t even bother to say anything – with how cold the desert could get, he wanted her to leave her jacket on anyway.

 

“Yeah, I t’ink so...”  Ace stood up, and checked the compartment in his motorcycle for any blankets, he managed to find two.  They would have had an extra four, but they had left two by the campfire, (Which was now beginning to smoulder as it ran out of wood to burn) to dry after they had gotton wet when the two had swum in the ‘pool’ earlier.

 

He bent down and laid the extra two blankets over the previous two, which were currently covering Lexi, before he returned to his past position, and lay down next to her.

 

She immediately scooted over to him and rested her head on his chest, wrapping the blankets around her shoulders, but still making sure that they weren’t covering Ace’s face, but they didn’t leave his arms, legs on any other part of his body exposed to the cold desert night.

 

When she was satisfied that all was well, she ran her fingers long the fabric of his shirt, she wasn’t used to him wearing something over his torso when they slept, and she usually loved to run her fingers along the soft fur on his chest, and use her finger to draw patterns on his fur – like she used to do to one of her mother’s suede coats when she was younger.

 

She stroked the bones of his ribcage which she could feel, and gently probed the areas of muscle on his torso, she loved how secure and safe he made her feel - She enjoyed how much stronger he was than her, and how if the two of them ever had to life heavy groceries when it was their turn to shop for the team’s food, he was always the one who lifted the heavy items for her, while she carried the light-weight, and less awkward bags. 

 

She liked how Ace, especially, and the rest of the team, made her feel so physically different – their bodies were built in such a way that they were taller, and more muscular than her; while her body was built purely for bearing, and for taking care of any children that she would produce – which was the traditional role for a woman, while a man’s was to provide for his family, and protect them – which in some ways, still occurred , but not to the extent that women and men were considered completely and utterly different from each other.

 

Lexi smiled to herself, she knew that Ace would be a good father, he would know not to expect too much of his son or daughter, but would still be encouraging and help their child in any way that he could.

 

She did wonder how she would fare as a mother, technically she already was one, but she already began to doubt how she would be able to cope in the later stages of her pregnancy, when delivering the baby, and looking after it as if grew from a defenceless infant, into a child, a teenager, and an adult. 

 

Would she be too protective?   From her own experiences, she would hate for it (If it were a girl, especially) to be out alone at night.

 

Would she become depressed?  She had heard of post-natal depression, her mother had suffered it once, and Lexi worried whether hers would be serious enough that it could affect her health, or the baby’s.

 

Neither she, nor Ace had had a bad childhood, they hadn’t grown up with negligent or abusive parents, but, loving and caring parents, in good homes, with all of the care that they needed.  And so she knew that she and Ace would know how to raise a child in a healthy manner, and that they would do all that they could to look after it.

 

And that last thought was a comforting one to Lexi as she finally gave her troubled mind a rest, as she drifted off to sleep...
