So let me get this straight. Number one, you're sick, sick enough that you called Cain about it, but didn't say a word to me. Number two, you got attacked, again, and Annie knows, and I have to find out what happened from her.

Am I missing anything else? Or should I go ask somebody else, maybe Hank, since nobody bothers to tell me a fucking thing anymore?

...Are you pregnant?

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

What? Ohmigod, no!

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Well, that was my earliest pregnancy symptom!! Sleeping all the time!

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

...Really?

Did you...uh...have dreams all the time?

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't really--I mean, when I dream, it's the legacy dreams. So it was just the usual, and more of them, I guess.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

Oh okay.

It's fine. I thought I was just having them a lot because...yanno, it was my year anniversary with Hiro and our wedding is not that far off.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

It really isn't.

Maybe we're blowing it out of proportion. Maybe it's psychological? Has everything been okay?

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

As far as I can tell, yeah.

Or it was.

I'm sorry, Bee. I guess I didn't really want to think anything was wrong and then I just tried to dismiss it. I thought it was maybe something with my ability but there was just so much going on....so I thought maybe I was tired after that and just needed to rest but now with the attack....

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

OK. Did you do like Cain said, and get some blood tests run?

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

...I was on my way there when I was attacked.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Reschedule and let me come with you? Spike and Amelia will be here tomorrow, and he can help Annie with the vampire situation.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

Bee, he saw me heal. He bit me, pulled back and watched me heal.

I think they knew I would.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

......WHAT?!!!!!

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

AND YOU WAITED UNTIL NOW TO TELL ME THIS?!!!

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

I'M TELLING YOU NOW!

I took Annie home after the attack and then went to the townhouse. I showered, then I went into my room to get my phone....and I fell asleep as soon as I laid down.

I wasn't hiding it!

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

You're my go to person! Why would I hide it and not tell you?

YOU'D KICK MY ASS WORSE THAN THEY CAN!

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!!!

Fuck. FUCK. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. This is of the not good. Fuck.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

....Okay, but only punching, okay?

No. The guy said he would see me again.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

You go nowhere alone until this is sorted out. Am I clear?

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

I'm at the townhouse right now.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I mean it, Claire. You're not a Slayer.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

I know, Bee, I was just telling you where I was.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I can hear eyerolls and huffy sighs from miles away, kid. Miles.

Just stay put. As soon as Annie gets off her stupid information withholding ass and calls me back, we'll meet up with you and figure all this out.

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

Sorry...just don't beat me too much, kay?

Bee, please be careful. I couldn't stand it if something happened to you or Beanie.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Well beating you up wouldn't do much good anyway, so I think I'll just force you to curl up on the couch and watch bad movies with me. I mean really bad movies, Claire. From Justin to Kelly level bad.

It's gonna be fine. We're gonna be fine. I'm gonna let Spike and Annie do the heavy lifting. I'll just help with the bookwork and make sure you don't get bored from being locked up as much as possible.
