"She remembers everything, who she is, who attacked her, even being with me," William said. "That's great," Tyler said. "We're engaged again," William added. "What else is going on? You look troubled," Tyler observed. "She's pregnant," William announced. Tyler looked shocked. "What? Did you not think I was able to knock someone up?" William asked. "Kylie's been on birth control since you left; she's always said she doesn't want children," Tyler said gently. William swallowed hard. "Go talk to Kylie," Tyler advised. Tyler watched his friend leave before he retreated into the infirmary to sit with Carrie. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "What are you doing here Grady?" Serene asked. "I got teamed up with Tara in the lab two years ago because of our past relationship. I had no idea that we were looking for your half sister," Grady answered. "Do you think she will be able to do what we need her to do?" Serene asked. "Yes," Grady said, stepping closer to Serene. "You're beautiful," he murmured. Serene smiled at him. "Then why did you leave me?" Serene wanted to know. "We've been over this," Grady reminded her. "Tell me again," Serene insisted. "My sister was in an accident and I was needed at home," Grady told her. "You don't have a sister," Serene said. The look of surprise on Grady's face made her laugh. "I looked you up Grady; you seemed way too good to be true," she added. "I do have a sister, I just try to keep my family out of my file in case it should fall into the wrong hands," Grady insisted. "Prove it," Serene challenged. Grady grinned and kissed her hard. "I'd rather prove how much I've missed you," he groaned. Serene's eyes closed as Grady kissed her hard enough to make her knees feel weak. "You're beautiful," Grady breathed. He pulled his pants and boxers over his legs, letting them fall around his ankles. Serene moaned as he thrust into her slowly. She whimpered, her body not used to being this full and ground her hips against his. "I love you Serene," he whispered into her ear as he thrust in and out of her, her back against the wall. "No you don't Grady, but right now, I don't care," Serene moaned. Grady slid his hands behind her rear and pushed her into him. They came together with loud moans and cries. "Let me up Grady," Serene said after she had caught her breath. Grady sighed put pulled free of her warmth and missed it instantly. "I've missed you Serene," Grady said. "You haven't missed me, you've missed fucking me," Serene argued. She pulled her dress down and retreated to an unoccupied bathroom. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Where did they go now?" "I do not know uncle. I will find them," Paul promised. "Do not fail me again Paul or it will be your last failure," his uncle warned. ~~~~~~~~~~ "Lee?" William asked softly, knocking on their bedroom door. "How's Carrie?" Kylie asked. "She's doing better," William told her with a smile. "Good," Kylie said. "How are you feeling?" William asked. "I've felt better," Kylie admitted. William gave a small smile. "Morning sickness?" he asked. Kylie nodded. "Ty said you don't want children," William murmured, tucking a strand of hair back behind her ear. Kylie sighed. "Talk to me," he pleaded. "After the miscarriage, and after you left, I said that I did not want children and it was true." Kylie winced when she saw the look of pain on William's face."I don't want children with anyone but you," she told him, her voice soft. "So you want our baby?" William asked. "I want our baby," Kylie murmured. William grinned and gave her a tight hug. "Just don't leave me," she pleaded, her voice quiet, child like. "Only death will part us," William promised. Kylie grinned back and threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. "Lee, you're going to kill me" he groaned. "But you'll die with a smile on your face," Kylie teased, tearing his shirt open, sending buttons flying across the room. "God Kylie," William groaned as her hands slipped past the waistline of his pants. He jumped as a hand wrapped around his hardening cock. "Billy, please," she whispered. He pushed his pants off and kicked them away before quickly dispensing with her clothes. She cried out softly as he plunged inside her. "Are you okay?" William asked. "Better than okay," Kylie moaned, pushing her hips up to meet his. They moved as one, pleasure overtaking them. "Are you guys about finished?" Tara asked grumpily from the doorway. William and Kylie looked up with a gasp; he reached for a blanket and covered them. "What's up?" William asked. "We need to finish training," Tara answered. "I'll be up in five minutes," William said. Kylie giggled and he rolled his eyes. "I want both of you upstairs in five minutes," Tara instructed. "Kylie's still training?" William asked. "She's pregnant, it can't be safe," he added. "We'll go a little easier on Kylie, but she needs to know how to defend herself using her power," Tara said. "Give us five minutes," Kylie interjected. ~~~~~~~~~~~ "Hey Carrie," Kylie said with a smile. "You look like the cat that ate the canary," Carrie observed. Kylie laughed and held her left hand out to her friend. "That looks like the ring that Will gave you in high school," Carrie said softly. "It is the ring he gave me in high school," Kylie confirmed. "I remember everything," she added. Carrie squealed and gave her friend a tight hug. "That's awesome," Carrie said. "There's more," Kylie began. Carrie looked at her friend curiously as the others flooded into the room. "Kylie, are you okay?" Carrie asked when Kylie exchanged glances with William. "I'm better than okay, I'm great," Kylie said. "What's going on?" Carrie wanted to know. "Billy and I are having a baby," Kylie said with a grin. Carrie squealed again and pulled Kylie in for another hug. "Kylie, how far along are you in your pregnancy?" Tara asked. "Does it matter?" William asked. "Yes," Grady said. "I'm about three and a half months pregnant, why?" Kylie murmured. "Because her due date will change things," Grady said with a sigh. "Change things how?" William wanted to know. Grady sighed again. "Remember how we told you that your mothers left Seran for their own safety?" Grady asked. William nodded. "They left because there was a prophecy. It involved your mother Kylie," Grady said. "My mother?" Kylie asked in surprise. "Yes. The prophecy is that your mother's first born grandchild, not first conceived, obviously, but first born grandchild would have the power to to the unthinkable. His or her power has not been determined, but there is some thinking that it will be a combined power of the mother's and father's, if the father has power. In this case, both parents have power," Grady told them. "Grady, is my mother okay? I haven't seen her since the miscarriage," Kylie asked. "She's in hiding with your father. After you tried to rescue William, she realized that the evil had found her. She regrets not being able to tell you, but if she had, your life would have been more difficult," Grady answered. "Now, William, let's get a look at your newer power shall we?" Tara murmured. William nodded, took a deep breath and thought about the things Paul had done to Kylie. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Kylie gasped as a storm appeared in front of them. "That's enough Will, thank you," Grady said gently. William blinked and shook his head, trying to get his anger out of his mind but was unable to do it. Kylie stepped in front of William and slipped her hands in his. "I know you're still angry about what Paul did to me, but look at it this way, if he hadn't, we wouldn't be back together right now," Kylie said gently. William smiled, the anger leaving his body. The storm dissipated and his eyes cleared. "Are you alright?" Kylie asked in alarm as his knees buckled. William nodded, placed his hands on her shoulder to steady himself. "I'm alright. That just takes a lot out of me," William assured her. Kylie smiled as he squeezed her hands. "We're going to have these sessions several times a day until you learn to control them. I want everyone to go eat a good meal and get a good nights rest. William, if you don't let Kylie get more rest than you've been letting her get, I'll have to put you in separate rooms," Tara threatened. Kylie blushed and even William had the decency to look guilty. "Dinner is ten minutes, clean up and meet us in the dining room," Grady added. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Can I talk to you?" Kylie asked, knocking on the door to Serene's room. "Sure, what's up?" Serene asked, patting the bed next to her. "Why didn't mom tell me about you? And does my dad know?" Kylie asked. "Mom didn't want to complicate your life, and I don't know if your father knows," Serene answered. "What is Seran like?" Kylie asked. Serene smiled. "It's beautiful. Lots of open fields of grass, and flowers, and forests. Lots of beautiful oceans. It's a lot like Earth," Serene answered. They sat and talked for hours until Kylie began to yawn. "Go to bed kid," Serene told her sister. Kylie shook her head. "I want to hear more," Kylie protested. Serene smiled and gave her sister a hug. "You need to get some rest and take care of my nephew," Serene told her. "What makes you think I'm not having a girl?" Kylie asked. "I can see things, sense things. It's how I became such a successful midwife. It's my power," Serene murmured. She looked up as William appeared in the doorway. "Go on Ky, I'll talk to you later. You need the rest," Serene told her sister softly. William grinned at Serene as Kylie walked towards him and followed him to the bedroom. "Did you have a nice visit with Serene?" William asked. "Yes. She seems nice, I can't wait to get to know her better when things are safer," Kylie answered. William smiled. "She has an interesting power," Kylie murmured, stretching out on the bed. "What's that?" William asked. "She can sense things, that's how she knew I was pregnant before I said even said anything. She says we're having a boy," Kylie answered. "A boy huh?" William asked with a grin. "That's what Serene says," Kylie murmured. William kissed her on the lips before sliding his lips to her neck. He pressed a kiss on every inch of her body, lingering on her abdomen. "How long do you think it'll be before I start to show?" Kylie asked softly. William smiled and pressed his lips to her abdomen again. "I can already see changes," William murmured. "Oh?" Kylie asked, sucking in a breath as his fingers teased her nipples. "These are more tender, I can tell by your reaction, and they're bigger. You're more beautiful," William whispered. "Billy," Kylie whimpered. He grinned at her but pulled away. "You need to rest, you look exhausted," William murmured. "That's so not fair," Kylie whined. "I'll be here in the morning, go to sleep," William told her with a grin. Kylie growled and batted at him and flopped back against the pillow. "Good night beautiful," he murmured as he watched her eyes close. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -2 months later- "That's great Carrie," Tara said, watching Carrie levitate a desk chair. Carrie lowered the chair back down and collapsed in it, exhausted. "Okay everyone, let's call it a night," Tara announced. "Can we go out for a bit? We're going stir crazy," Carrie murmured. "I don't think it's a good idea," Tara said. "C'mon Tara, let them have a break," Serene murmured. Tara sighed but nodded. "Be back by eleven," Tara told them. "It was nice of you to convince Tara to let everyone go out," Grady said from the doorway of Serene's bedroom. "They were looking a little claustrophobic," Serene murmured with a shrug. Grady walked into the room and closed the door behind him. "What are you doing Grady?" Serene asked. He smiled and stepped towards her. "Grady?" she whispered. Grady wrapped his arms around Serene, pulled her to him and kissed her until she was breathless. "No Grady," Serene said weakly as he pulled away. "You've bewitched me," Grady groaned, bending his head to suck on her breast through the silk blouse she wore. "Grady," Serene pleaded. Grady chuckled as he pulled the clothing from their bodies. "We shouldn't do this," Serene moaned as his fingers dipped inside her, his thumb brushing her clit teasingly. "Yes we should," Grady managed, lifting Serene into his arms and carried her to the bed. "Grady, no, we really shouldn't," Serene whimpered. "Oh no?" Grady asked with a devilish grin. He pushed her legs apart gently and knelt between them and began lapping at the tender folds; Serene moaned and lifted her hips to meet his face. "Tell me we shouldn't now," Grady dared, returning to her moist folds. Serene moaned again, digging her hands in Grady's hair. "Grady," she whimpered. Grady chuckled, sending vibrations rippling through her and she writhed beneath his attentions. "Grady please," Serene moaned. Grady's eyes met hers and he sucked and licked harder upon seeing the passion in her eyes. She may have been fighting it, but Serene wanted him, there was no denying that. Grady lazily ran his fingers up and down Serene's body before lightly teasing her nipple. Serene whimpered again, her hips once again lifted off the bed. "Grady, I need you inside me now!" Serene gasped. Grady chuckled again and kept up with his teasing. "Grady!" she gasped. Grady teased her until she came with a shuddering cry; before Serene could come down from the pleasure of her orgasm, Grady pushed into her gently making her moan in delight. "Oh God Grady!" she wailed as he pounded into her, gently, lovingly. "You're beautiful," Grady said, his voice rough with emotion. They moved together fluidly, their arms around each other. Grady ran his fingers teasingly over Serene's arm making her shiver. Serene moaned loudly, her body tensing as another orgasm swept over her. Grady stilled for a moment, just before Serene went over the edge and she whimpered in disappointment. "Hold on sweetheart," Grady murmured. He slid out slowly, tantalizingly and thrust in hard and fast, brushing the tip of her clit making Serene whimper and moan. After four or five thrusts like that, Grady changed his angle so that he was not only sliding against her clit, but against her G-spot as well. Serene screamed loudly as she fell over the edge; Grady fell with her with a loud, lion like roar. He collapsed on top of her, his arms still around her. "I love you Serene," he murmured as her eyes closed and she fell into a deep sleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Wow, it's kind of weird after all this time being in the real world," Carrie said softly. "Yeah, it is. What should we do?" William asked. "I want to go see a movie," Kylie said. "I'm up for dinner," Tyler added. "Dinner first, movie second," William concluded. "Sounds good," Carrie agreed. "What's wrong?" Tyler asked as they left the Japanese restaurant later that night. "I have the feeling we're being followed," Carrie said softly. Tyler glanced over his shoulder. "You're right," he murmured. He glanced at William who put a protective arm around Kylie. "What do we do?" Kylie asked softly. "Stay calm," William instructed. He glanced at Kylie and gave her a reassuring grin. "Ty, take Carrie's hand, but be casual," William murmured. "I'm going to make it harder for them to see us when we get within running distance of the car." William glanced over his shoulder. "When I say, Lee, go with Carrie and Ty and get to the car. Don't worry about me," William said. "I'm not leaving you," Kylie protested. William stopped and turned towards Kylie, gently backing her into the wall of the building behind them, leaned in to make it look like they were making out. "Lee, my first priority is to make sure you and our baby are safe. Please, just go to the car when I create the diversion. I'll be right behind you," William murmured. He pulled away from Kylie and squeezed her hand. He glanced over his shoulder. "Go, now!" he said urgently, coming to a dead stop. Carrie, Tyler and Kylie started running towards the nondescript sedan that sat about ten feet away while William conjured a storm behind them. As Tyler and Carrie reached the sedan, Kylie tripped over a piece of broken concrete. Before Tyler could go back for her, William and Kylie were surrounded. William started towards Kylie but he was grabbed by two of the men surrounding them. "Ty, Carrie, go, get help!" he shouted. Tyler all but pushed Carrie into the car and sped off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ William watched helplessly as men tortured Kylie for information and it took all of his willpower not to yell at them to be careful of the baby; something told him that whoever they worked for would not be happy to hear about the baby. He struggled against his bounds but only succeeded in making them tighter. Kylie fought the nausea that was welling up inside; she hoped the baby was okay. Her frightened eyes met William's angry eyes; she could see the concern in his eyes and the helplessness that he felt. "Where is the compound?" one of the men asked. "I told you, I don't know. They had us blindfolded when we went in," Kylie told them. She screamed as the leather whip bit into her skin. "Where is it?" he shouted. "I don't know! Please, stop!" Kylie pleaded. "That's enough for now," another man said from the doorway. William and Kylie were thrown into a cell; William recovered quickly and caught Kylie before she fell. Kylie cried out in pain as his arms made contact with the marks left by the whip. William swallowed hard when he saw some of those marks on her abdomen. "Billy what if they hurt the ..." William lowered his lips to hers quickly and squeezed her elbow in warning. "Try not to give the pregnancy away for as long as you can. I have a feeling it would make our abductor most unhappy," William murmured. He held his hands over the welts and smiled when they disappeared. "Better?" he asked. Kylie nodded. "I'm scared," Kylie whimpered. "Everything's going to be fine," William murmured. He hugged her close and kissed her cheek. "What are you doing?" Kylie asked as William's eyes and hands gently roamed her body. "I'm checking to make sure that the baby isn't in distress," William murmured, his lips just above her ear. "That tickles," Kylie said with a low moan as William's hands cupped her breasts. He grinned in spite of their situation. "If it wasn't for the fact that we're being watched, I'd be making love to you right now," William groaned. "What is with your sex drive these days?" Kylie asked with a laugh. "You. You're beautiful, I love you and the fact that you're carrying my child is one hell of a turn on," William groaned. Kylie glanced up at the observation window. "Let's give them a show," she murmured. William looked at her in surprise. "Are you sure?" William asked. "You're driving me crazy," Kylie whimpered. William laughed as Kylie stepped back and quickly disposed of what was left of her tattered clothing. William removed his own clothing and let them drop to the floor, stepped back up to Kylie and led her to the the small cot in the corner. While they made love, Paul watched from the observation room, his eyes narrowed and glowing with anger. ~~~~~~~~~~~ "Where are Will and Kylie?" Serene wanted to know. "We got cut off by guys wearing ninja type robes. They were taken," Tyler said breathlessly. "We need to go after them," Carrie added. "We need more information first," Tara said gently. "But they could hurt them!" Carrie exclaimed. "And we could all die if we go in without knowing what we're dealing with," Serene murmured, her displeasure at the situation was obvious. Fighting Back for Love Ch. 08 "We'll get them back," Grady promised. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "He knew we were watching him, William Sanderson is not a stupid man, and he didn't care! He fucked her right in front of me!" Paul shouted to his uncle. "Patience Paul. You'll get the girl, I promise. First, we need to make sure that he hasn't knocked her up already, because if he has, we are all doomed," his uncle said. "Why do you keep saying that? What would a child they create even be able to do anyway? Kids are helpless," Paul inquired. "This child, their child, if they conceived and carried to term would be completely pure, innocent; and while most babies are innocent, their child will be purely good, and unable to be turned to do anything evil. He or she will completely destroy the evil in everyone. There will be no more war, no more famine. Petty squabbles yes, but we will be out of a job," his uncle answered. William and Kylie lay on the cot, shivering; the blanket they had been given was full of holes and it smelled. "How are you doing?" William asked. "I'm alright, cold," Kylie murmured. He tightened his grip around her, ran his fingers through her hair. "Wait, what was that?" Kylie asked softly. William grinned and kissed her gently. "The baby saying hello," William murmured. "Seriously?" Kylie asked, her eyes lighting up. "Yeah," William said, pulling her closer. They sprang apart as the door flung open. "Come with me Kylie," one of the men said. "Like hell," William growled. He sent a small tornado towards the men when they brandished more whips and a stun gun. "You will not hurt her again!" he shouted. Paul watched, mixed emotions running through him as he watched William defending Kylie. He could see how much William cared for Kylie just by looking at him. Paul watched his uncle walk into the room and send a bolt of electricity at William. "Billy!" Kylie shouted. She started towards him but William shook his head weakly. "No Lee, you can't!" William groaned. "Leave him alone!" Kylie exclaimed. "Kylie, stop! Remember, you're acting as a surrogate for Carrie! If anything happens to you, something happens to their baby!" William shouted. It killed him to lie about the baby, and who the parents were, but something told him that if it was known that he and Kylie were the expectant parents, things wouldn't end well. He hated the momentary confusion on her face but she caught on quickly. "It's okay Lee," he added, standing up and allowing the men to escort him forcefully from the cell. Fighting Back for Love Ch. 09 Kylie waited anxiously for William to be returned to the cell. It had been hours since they had taken him, she could tell because of the position of the shadows that danced on the wall. Kylie watched as the door opened. "Billy!" she gasped, stopped short when she saw Paul standing in the doorway. "You're pregnant," Paul accused. "Yes," Kylie said, her heart racing, her mind replaying the memories of his torture. "Is the baby really Carrie and Ty's?" Paul asked. "Or is it yours and Will's?" "Carrie's. She was hurt in an accident and they had to do a hysterectomy," Kylie lied. "But why now?" Paul asked. "Ty's been sick. He won't make it another year," she answered, praying he couldn't detect her lies. They both looked up as William was shoved into the room. His hair was a mess, his face was covered in sweat, blood poured from him in rivets. "Leave her alone Paul," William warned, struggling to get to his feet. "I'm not going to hurt her," Paul promised. Kylie looked surprised at the concern in Paul's face. "You look like death on a triscuit," he added. Kylie giggled and William rolled his eyes. "Hours of torture will do that to a man," William groaned. Kylie reached into the bucket of cool water and pulled the torn piece of cloth from the water, rung it out and began wiping William's face. "What did they do?" Kylie asked. "It's nothing Lee, I'm fine," William murmured. "Liar," Kylie accused. "You don't need to hear the details," William told her. "Billy ..." "He's right Kylie. You don't need or want to hear the details," Paul sided with William. "Why are you even here?" William asked. "I needed to see Kylie," Paul answered. He glanced around, not knowing if his uncle had people watching him. "You've seen me, now go," Kylie snapped. "Bring the girl to me," Paul's uncle said from the doorway. Kylie gasped, recognizing him instantly. "You!" she shouted. "Hello again," he said with an evil grin. "Paul, don't do this! If you ever cared about me, please don't take me to him!" Kylie pleaded with her former lover. Paul hesitated. "Now Paul," his uncle demanded. Paul glanced at William and Kylie apologetically before pulling Kylie carefully from the cell. ~~~~~~~~~~ "We need to find them!" Serene exclaimed. "I'm doing the best I can," Tara assured her. "Your best is not good enough Doctor Sinclair," Serene snapped. "Rene, that isn't helping," Grady said, taking Serene's hand in his. "Give me a break O'Connor! Those monsters have my pregnant sister and her fiancee and you expect me to stay calm and rational?" Serene shouted. "Serene, do you want to help Kylie or not?" Grady asked. "Of course I do!" Serene snapped. "Then you have to remain as calm as possible and try to remain objective," Grady said gently. "He's right Serene," Tyler said, not looking up from his computer console. "All you men are going to stick together," Serene growled. "That's enough!" Carrie shouted. Everyone looked up. "Serene, if you want to help, you can start by going to the rec room and burning off some of your energy," Carrie snapped. Serene shot out of her chair and stormed away. "Rene, are you okay?" Grady asked. "Do I look okay?" Serene snapped. "Rene, look at me," Grady murmured. She looked up at him and stopped peddling on the exercise bike. "Talk to me," he pleaded. "The little sister that I just found who is pregnant has been taken and nobody is doing anything about it," Serene answered, breathing hard. Grady handed her a bottle of water; she opened it and drank greedily. "Serene, we'll get her back. Kylie and the baby are going to be just fine," Grady promised. "How do you know?" Serene snapped. Grady sighed, stepped up to Serene and pulled her off of the bike and into his arms. "What are you doing?" Serene wanted to know. Grady grinned and pulled Serene's workout shorts down her legs. "What, no panties?" Grady asked, his voice low, dangerous but full of desire. "Grady, no!" Serene murmured. "Why not?" Grady asked, pulling her to him. Serene moaned as she felt his hardness pressing against her. "My sister's missing, this just isn't right," Serene protested. "Kylie would want you to be happy, no matter what happens. She's going to be fine," Grady reminded Serene. He dipped two fingers up inside her making her whimper. Without another word, Grady pulled his own pants down, turned Serene so that she was facing the bike and grasped her hips in his hands. "Hold on to the bike Serene," Grady warned as he thrust hard and fast into her. Serene moaned loudly and pushed back against him. Grady chuckled and placed hot kisses on the back of her neck. "You're beautiful," he whispered, thrusting hard and fast into her. "God Serene," Grady groaned. Serene whimpered as Grady pulled almost out of the way out of her. "Tell me what you want," Grady said huskily. "Grady, not fair!" Serene exclaimed, wriggling, trying to push him back inside her. "What do you want?" Grady asked. "I need you inside me," Serene whined. Grady grinned and pushed a bit further into her. "Like this?" he asked, running his fingers down her back. She moaned when he slid a finger down the delicate folds between her legs. "More! I need more!" Serene gasped. He obliged by giving her another inch. "Graaady!" Serene cried. "What do you want?" Grady asked. his voice calmer than the emotions running through his body were. "Fuck me Grady, please!" Serene cried out. Grady grinned and thrust hard and fast into her making Serene moan with pleasure. "Do you love me?" Grady asked, slowing his thrusts a little. "You know I do," Serene gasped. "Tell me," Grady growled in her ear. He thrust in and out of her slowly, teasingly. "Grady, please," Serene whimpered. "If you love me, tell me," Grady repeated. "I love you Grady!" Serene gasped as thrust hard into her. She moaned loudly and writhed against him as he pushed in and out of her hard and fast. Serene screamed as her orgasm swept over her; Grady's followed close behind and he flooded her with his seed. Grady, while reluctant to leave her, pulled out of Serene and pulled her to him, turning her to face him. "Are you alright?" Grady asked. "Yes," Serene murmured. She pulled up her pants and fled leaving Grady to sigh and shake his head. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You mean we can't prove the paternity of Kylie's baby?" Paul asked his uncle. "No, we can't. I wasn't expecting her to get pregnant again this soon," his uncle admitted. "Again?" Paul asked, raising an eye brow. "When I first kidnapped William, Kylie came to rescue him; she did not anticipate how extensive my powers are. I nearly drained all over her powers; had William not made the deal he made to stay away, I would have killed Kylie and taken her power. Apparently, she was pregnant, but not far enough to know about it, unless she was expecting it," his uncle answered. "Why?" Paul asked. "I wasn't about to let them get married to spawn the end of our existence!" his uncle snapped. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Months later- Paul sighed as he watched Kylie and William through the observation window. Her pregnancy was obvious now, and from he had gleaned from listening to their conversation, Kylie was due within the next four weeks. It made him nervous, but at the same time, despite being held captive, Kylie looked more beautiful then he could describe. He had wanted so much to start a family with Kylie once he had gotten to know her. Paul sighed again but smiled as he remembered how they had met; his sister had taken a class with Kylie and Carrie and introduced them. He found Kylie to be smart, beautiful, but sad. That first year was great, they were happy, in love, and then his uncle came to town. Told Paul he needed him; needed him to marry and impregnate Kylie and that he only had two more years to do it in or it would be too late to change the events of the future. The more his uncle changed him, the colder towards Kylie he became. He couldn't even have sex with her in a position that would let him see her face, because the pain in her eyes, the hurt in her expression broke his heart. Then William came back to town. Paul looked up as someone began speaking. It was William and despite his best effort, Paul could see worry in his eyes. "What is it Will?" Paul asked, pressing a button on the console. "Kylie needs something to eat and a walk," William answered. "Dinner is in two hours," Paul argued. "She needs it now Paul. The baby is taking a lot out of her and she needs the energy," William said. Paul looked at Kylie's face and saw the exhaustion and the growing fear in her eyes. "Come on Paul, just a snack, some fruit would be good," William said, hoping he hadn't misread the regret in Paul's eyes. William waited impatiently and after ten minutes went by without an answer, William was beginning to get angry. Both William and Kylie looked up when the door to the cell opened. "All I could find was a banana," Paul said. "That will work just great," William told him, taking the banana from Paul. He peeled it and nibbled a small amount before handing it to Kylie. "I'm not going to poison her," Paul said with a roll of his eyes. "You raped her, abused her and tried to kill her, so poison doesn't seem so far off," William remarked. "Stop bickering," Kylie snapped. "How are you doing?" Paul asked. "I want to go home," Kylie complained, rubbing the small of her back. William looked at her in concern. "You okay Lee?" William asked. "My back is killing me," Kylie complained. William gave a wry smile and rubbed her back. "Not much longer," William soothed. Kylie finished her banana and glanced at Paul. "Paul, please help us get out of here. I don't want to have this baby here. Please," Kylie murmured. Paul shook his head. "I can't. My uncle will kill me," Paul said. Kylie sighed. "What now?" Paul asked. "Help me up," Kylie grumbled. Paul took a hold of Kylie's hand, his eyes widened and he gasped as images flooded his mind. "How did you do that?" Paul asked. "I didn't do it. The baby did," Kylie told him. "Is that what's going to happen?" Paul wanted to know. "I have no idea," Kylie admitted. "Ask your uncle," she added. Paul took a deep breath and knocked on the door to his uncle's office. "What is it Paul, I'm busy," his uncle snapped. "I just wanted to know what is going to happen to the baby," Paul answered. "If it's really Kylie's and William's, it will be shot on sight. If it is Tyler and Carrie's, it will be put up for adoption. And if we can't find a home for it, it will be shot," his uncle answered. Paul stared at his uncle in surprise. "You're going to kill a helpless baby?" Paul asked. "It won't seem so helpless when it's trying to kill you," his uncle spat. Paul nodded and backed out of his uncle's office. He had to do something; he couldn't let his uncle kill an innocent child, no matter what could happen to him after the child was born. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Are you sure this isn't a trick?" Carrie asked. "I don't know, but if it isn't, we need to hurry," Serene said grimly. They piled into the large vehicle and Tyler laughed as he buckled up. "What?" Serene asked. "It looks like the TIV, that one vehicle from Storm Chasers," Tyler said. Carrie giggled and Tara rolled her eyes. "Lets go," Tara said, starting the car and pulling out of the driveway. ~~~~~~~~~ "Come with me," Paul said, opening the door to the cell. William and Kylie looked at each other and followed Paul out of the cell. "Put these on, they'll make you look like you're on patrol. I've fixed the feed to look like you're still in there," Paul whispered. "Why are you doing this?" William asked. "Because if you lied about Carrie and Ty being the parents to that baby, if you lied about being a surrogate, then my uncle will kill the baby on sight. If you haven't lied, then the baby will be put up for adoption, but if a new family can't be found, the baby will be killed. I love children, hell, I want enough to form my own baseball team. I don't like the idea of hurting children," Paul answered. "How do we know this isn't a trick?" William asked suspiciously. "Ask Kylie," Paul said. William glanced back at Kylie. "It's true, he's always been good with children and made no attempt to hide how much he wanted them," Kylie answered. "I've contacted your team, they're on their way to intercept us now," Paul added. -Several hours later- "I don't know why I'm surprised by this, but your son is a weak, pitiful excuse for a family member," Paul's uncle roared over the phone. He slammed it down and set the compound on full alert. "What is that?" William wanted to know. "Shit, my uncle has discovered you're missing, hurry, but not too fast," Paul warned. "This is our ride," he added ten minutes later. He held the door for Kylie and William and drove quickly out of the cave. "Damn!" Paul shouted. "What's wrong?" William asked. "We're out of gas," Paul said with a sigh. "We have another problem," Kylie murmured. "What's that?" Paul snapped. "I think my water just broke." "Can't you hold it in?" Paul asked finally, glancing at William. Their faces wore mirrored images of panic. "It doesn't work like that," William said. "Keep driving, I'll take care of Kylie," he added. Kylie's cry of pain startled Paul to the point where he lost control of the jeep and it spun into a medium sized boulder. "You alright back there?" Paul asked, wiping the blood at his hairline away. "We're fine," William answered. "Speak for yourself!" Kylie panted. "You'll be fine Lee, just relax and breath," William murmured, turning his attention back to his fiancee. Kylie whimpered in pain as William checked her. "What's wrong?" Kylie asked, seeing the look on his face. William forced himself to take a deep breath before he smiled at her. "Nothing Lee, you're fine, you're doing great," William murmured. "Then what's with the look?" Kylie wanted to know. "Your water not only broke, but you're nearly dilated. Have you been having any pain earlier?" William asked. "Just in my back, but nothing major," Kylie answered, her eyes going wide with panic "It's okay Kylie, just breath," William coached. "This isn't how I imagined giving birth," Kylie moaned. "Me neither sweet heart, but this is where it's going to happen," William murmured. He tried to keep his voice low, soothing but Kylie was still beginning to panic. "Listen to me Kylie. I know you're in pain, but it will be over as soon as you have the baby, and I need for you to stay calm," William said firmly but gently. "Shit!" Paul shouted from the front seat. "What?" William and Kylie asked together. "My uncle is approaching." Kylie cried out as a contraction hit and William slipped his hand into hers. "Do you have some kind of shield?" William asked, keeping his attention on Kylie. "It's a Jeep," Paul reminded William. "What's the green button?" William asked. Paul shrugged, pushed the button. "Auto pilot and shields engaged," a mechanical voice announced. Kylie screamed as the vehicle began to move quickly. "Focus Lee, focus on your breathing," William coached. "This is your fault!" Kylie snapped. "My fault?" William asked, raising an eye brow. "I thought you said you were a surrogate," Paul said. "I lied," Kylie moaned. "I figured," Paul admitted. William glanced at Paul. "I'm not a complete bastard," he said with a shrug. "Billy!" Kylie gasped. William returned his attention to Kylie and checked her again. "What is that?" she moaned. "The head. Push Lee," William coached. William glanced around up and over his shoulder as another vehicle joined the party. "You called Carrie?" William asked. "I figured I would need help with this," Paul admitted. "Oh my God, I feel like I'm being split in two!" Kylie shouted. William checked her again and sighed. "You're being torn," William murmured. "You're doing great Lee," he added. Paul watched as the head of the baby slid into William's hands. "Okay, Kylie, stop, just for a minute," William said. "It hurts, I can't stop!" Kylie protested. "Kylie Amber Monroe, listen to me," William growled. Kylie took a deep breath and looked at William, her eyes widening with surprise. "You need to stop pushing so I can angle the shoulders out otherwise you're going to tear like crazy," William told her. "Okay," Kylie gasped. She screamed as one shoulder popped out then the other. "Just one more little push," William murmured. Kylie shook her head. "I can't," she groaned. "One more Lee, come on love, you're almost there," William said softly. Kylie moaned and pushed. "One more, c'mon!" William coached. "That's what you said the last time," Kylie panted. "Kylie," William warned. Kylie screamed and pushed. "Okay love, it's over," William told her. He looked at Paul who's face was white. "Paul, I need scissors, or a pocket knife if you have it," William added. "Why isn't the baby crying?" Kylie asked softly. "The cord is around the baby's neck a little, I just need to cut the cord," William said as he took the scissors from Paul. "And clean out his nose and mouth," William added, using his pinky finger to scoop as much gunk out of the baby's nose as possible before using his index finger to get the gunk out of the baby's mouth. Kylie began to cry as loud, lusty wails filled the car. Paul handed William his sweat shirt and William wrapped the baby in it before handing him over to Kylie. Kylie glanced down at him before glancing out the window. "We need to go help," she whispered. "You need to rest," William argued. "But ..." "Kylie, you just had a baby, you need to stay here," William insisted. "He's right Ky. Give your body a chance to heal," Paul agreed. William wanted to shoot Paul a dirty look but after all he had done for them in the last few hours made him push that desire away. "I want to help," Kylie murmured. "I know beautiful. You need to stay here and keep our son safe," William told her, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead. "I'll set the shields after we clear the jeep," Paul added. "You're coming?" William asked in surprise. "It's time I confront my uncle for what he really is," Paul said. William studied Paul and nodded. "Billy!" Kylie called as he reached for the door handle. "Yeah?" William asked. "Be careful. Both of you," Kylie murmured. William smiled. "I promise," he said. Kylie watched as William opened the door and stepped out of the Jeep. "I'm sorry Kylie," Paul told her before following William into the fray. "William!" Carrie exclaimed. "Hey Care, Ty, it's great to see you," William said. "How's Kylie?" Serene asked. Grady and Tara spared William a glance before they returned to the battle. "They're great," William answered. "She had the brat then?" Paul's uncle asked, the fighting coming to a temporary stop. "A healthy boy, no thanks to you," William announced, unable to keep the grin from forming. "You were wrong uncle, about the baby," Paul said, stepping forward. "What? No, I was not. If the child is really Kylie's and William's, then my power would be gone and I would not be able to do this," his uncle challenged, sending bolts of electricity from his fingers. "Wow, how very Star Wars. George Lucas called; he wants his props back," Carrie snapped, pointing her gun at the man who had reeked so much havoc in their lives. "The baby is mine. We lied to you to protect the baby and Kylie," William said, his voice low. "NO!" Paul's uncle shouted. "He isn't lying. The child looks exactly like William," Paul intervened. "I told you what would happen if you failed me again," his uncle growled. Before anyone could react, the man turned all of his energy on his nephew and killed him the instant the electric bolts left his fingers. Fighting Back for Love Ch. 09 "Attack, now!" Carrie exclaimed with a grin. He had used up almost all of his energy during the first half of the attack and most of the rest when he attacked his nephew. They trained their guns on their enemy and fired. When he dropped to the ground, Grady hurried to secure him. "Unmask the bastard!" Serene spat. Tyler pulled the face piece of the helmet off of the man's face. "Senator Grant?" Carrie asked, her eyes wide. "How the hell?" Tara muttered. "We'll question him later. We need to get Kylie back to the compound and have her checked out," Serene said. She followed William back to the jeep and grinned when she saw her sister cradling the tiny baby. "Hey kid," Serene said softly. "You guys are okay!" Kylie exclaimed. "Yeah, all but Paul," Serene murmured. Kylie glanced at William and sighed. "He saved your life," William sighed. "I know, but he nearly took it from me," Kylie whispered. "Let's go back to the compound," William said, getting behind the wheel of the jeep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "How are you feeling?" William asked Kylie. "Better than I felt yesterday," she answered with a grin. "Good." William kissed her before turning his attention to their son. "I can't believe he's here," William said softly. Before Kylie could say anything else, Serene and Grady came into the room. "What's going on?" Kylie wanted to know. "Grady is being a dominating pain in the ass," Serene grumbled. "Not in front of the baby," Kylie teased. "I have a surprise for you," Grady interrupted. Kylie looked past Grady as two people hovered in the doorway. "Mom! Dad!" Kylie exclaimed as Grady stepped aside to reveal her parents. "How are you?" her mother asked softly. "Sore, tired, but happy," Kylie answered. "Hi mom," Serene murmured. William and Grady glanced at each other and slipped out of the room to give them some privacy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It's so quiet," Kylie murmured as William stepped out onto the balcony and over to her. The breeze lifted the locks of hair off of Kylie's shoulders playfully. She smiled as he wrapped his arms around her. "Perry's asleep and your sister had some place to be," William answered. "She probably had to go fuck Grady," Kylie joked. "Most likely. I have to leave for work soon, is there anything you need before I go?" William asked. Kylie turned to face him, a soft smile on her face; the tension that had once haunted her eyes gone. "God Lee, you're so beautiful," William moaned before she could say anything. "It's good you think so, because there is something you can do for me," Kylie said. "And what might that be?" William asked with a grin. "Fuck me senseless," Kylie answered with a teasing grin on her face. William lifted her up into his arms and headed back inside. "As you wish," William murmured, nibbling on her neck. As William left the house later that evening for his shift at the hospital Kylie was making Perry a bottle, a content smile on her face. The terror was over, her life was back to normal and she had her love. Could life get any better?
