Chapter 14: Status

Roi's Pov:

It's been officially over a year since we've been here and thanksgiving is around the corner. Last year we didn't celebrate because of all the running we had to do but I think that this year would be a good time to have a family get together. This time Lyle was hosting however and as usual I was the chef since Lyle doesn't really cook. Well he doesn't like to cook. He can be really lazy at times. Either way it is sure to be a good time. My first thanksgiving actually.

I drove down the road and turned onto the dirt. I was hoping that Liam could watch the kids today for a few hours but for some reason he's busy. He uses that excuse a lot and over the months we've kind of grown apart because of it. I mean there is only a certain amount of times you can say you're busy before something seems off. Anywho I try not to press for answers. The last time I did that we got into an argument and by accident he hit me. The hit wasn't hard so I can tell it wasn't intentional but it still shocked the shit out of me. After that I just decided to leave Liam alone. He'll tell me what he's up to when he's ready and I'm not stupid enough to press for answers again.

I parked my car in my garage and I took the kids out the back. I held Eloise's hand as she tottled next to me and Ben like a good boy grabbed onto my coat. I walked inside my home and I sighed. I let go of Eloise's hand and worked to take off her coat.

"Mommy hungry!" She yelped and I nodded my head. I put her coat on the hook and did the same for Ben putting myself last.

"Hungry!" Eloise yelled.

"Alright you have to wait Eli!" I reprimanded. The two have been trying my patience a lot today and I was almost at my wits end. Eloise plopped down on her butt and started to cry and I balled my fists. Not dealing with her tantrum right now I grabbed Ben's hand and walked away from her. The garage door was locked so I know she won't be able to go anywhere dangerous. She'll just have to cry it out.

I sat Ben on the counter. He's been a bit grumpy today but I think it's because of Liam. Overall it's just been bad today.

"Want something to eat?" I asked. He nodded his head and I grabbed the chicken breast I left out to thaw. I washed my hands and opened the chicken. Then I washed the chicken and placed it on a cutting board.

"Mommy, can I watch-watch t.v.?"

"Yes." I said. I took him down from the counter and gave him a juice box. He walked to the living room and turned on the t.v. I cut up the chicken into small chunks and then I got the breading together. After breading the nuggets, I put them in the oven and then I prepared the rest of dinner. Which was mashed potatoes and spinach. I know you guys might think that the kids have an aversion to spinach but they are pretty good about their vegetables and trying new things. That's one thing I'm thankful for. I don't have to feel like I'm pulling teeth trying to get them to eat their veggies.

While I was cooking, I felt something rub against my leg and I looked down at Eloise. She reached up for me and having more patience for her I picked her up. She conked her head against mine and kissed my lip.

"Thank you." I kissed her cheek. I continued to cook with Eloise on the hip. After dinner was made I sat them both to the table and watched them eat for a bit before preparing my own plate. As I ate my food I can't help but to think about the worst. I knew it was possible from the beginning but I think I loved feeling wanted. In all honesty I should have seen it coming if this is so. But I don't want to jump to any conclusions. He could very well be busy. But that doesn't give him the right to talk to me in the manner that he did. Just be honest and let us go. We don't need a man around here. But like I say I could be overthinking it just to over think it.

When I finished dinner I let the kids have play time and then got them ready for bed. By the time I was in my bed I felt ready to let go and forget about Liam. I'm not one to put up with the bullshit for long. I'll just give him a call and break things off in the morning. I can't believe my brain thinks that my heart is in love with an asshat like that.

I felt an arm wrap around my waist as I slept and for a moment I thought it was Ben. But as soon as I was engulfed in warmth I knew this had to be a larger person. A very large person. I growled and shot up from bed. I snatched on the room light and looked at the person in my bed.

"Go home." I spat.

"Roi come to bed."

"Leave me alone!"

"Roi I'm not in the mood for this.We can fight in the morning but for now come to bed."

"Fuck you." I ripped my pillow off the bed and then I marched into one of my many rooms. I slammed the door shut and got into that bed. How dare he think that he can just come in here and sleep in my bed after all this bullshit? He really thinks it's that easy now?

I was about to turn out the light when the door reopens and Liam angrily ripped me out of bed. I just wanted to be left angry. I kicked him many times as he walked back to my room. I was this close to scratching his face off and I almost did it too.

"Stop being difficult."

"Difficult!? Am I being difficult? I haven't seen you in two months straight and I'm being the difficult one!?"

"Roi. We can do this tomorrow. I'm not doing this with you now."

"I'm not doing this with you ever. We're over." I spat without a second thought. His eyes went wide as soon as I said them. I got out of his arms and went to leave the room again but as usual he doesn't take too kindly to people walking away from him. He smashed his lips on mine. I punched his chest and tried to get him to move away but Liam wasn't budging. Of course he wasn't the average man, however.

"I want you out of here." I hissed as I jerked my head away from the trap that was his mouth.

"Roi I'm sorry."

"Like I believe that shit."

"I am. I really think you're taking this a bit too hard."

"You don't call, text or talk or see the kids. I get no whereabouts on you and then you just want to show up? Nah man, you really must think I'm dumb. I don't care what you've been doing nor who ya' been with but you gone do me right. You haven't been doing me right. So go. We don't need you here."

"Roi, I'm not going anywhere. I know I've been ducking you but I promise there's a reason. It just took some time. I wouldn't have come back if I didn't have that reason."

"I don't even want to hear it anymore."

"Roi, please just calm down. I want to go to bed with you in my arms and know that you're okay and that you're safe and I want you to know that I'm here. I've never left. If you give me the chance then I can show you. Seriously." He went to grab my waist but I moved away.

"Seriously get the heck out my house." Liam reached a hand out and I took a few steps back. He took a few forward and it went like this until I was cornered. He wiped my cheek and I looked at his wet thumb. I didn't even realize I was crying.

"Just go away." I whimpered.

"Never. Now stop being reckless and let me talk." He scolded gently. If that was even possible really. I whined in protests and punched his chest really hard. This knocked the wind out of him but at the same time I can see the smirk on his face.

"Now for the last time, I'm very sorry about disappearing on you and I guess I should've told you more about what was going on then leaving you in the dark. For that I was wrong. But I hadn't done anything of what your beautiful head is thinking. So wipe that out of your head right now. I love you and only you. Don't ever second guess that again. Moving on from that subject I was gone because of something I had to deal with the administration and they didn't do anything to me either. It's what I did to them. Now I wanted this to be a surprise but since we're up and tussling. Follow me."

"No."

"Okay." He tossed me over his shoulder and held me to him like a ragdoll. He squeezed my ass with his hand and I yelped.

"Put me down!" I yelled as I punched his butt.

"You'll wake them up."

"They sleep as heavy as a mountain."

"No, not Ben and Eloise."

"Then who?"

"Open the door and see for yourself."

"Uh I can't… Kind of holding me hostage here!"

"I like holding you hostage. I should've done that instead of trying cuddles."

"Just put me down. You're not getting any type of cuddles."

"Heh. Alright." As soon as he put me down I stuck my tongue out at him and opened the door he set me in front of. I felt my heart pound as I was met with the sound of a music box playing.

"What are you waiting for?" He seemed a bit excited. I turned on the light and my eyes were darn near blinded by what I saw.

"What's all this?" I gulped.

"Alright." He pushed me inside and we walked over to the crib. Yes I did say crib. His hands wrapped around my belly and for a long time I felt static. I shook my head as I looked down inside of it.

"W-what's this?" I stuttered.

"I told you I'd get them back to you."

"N-no. This is all a nightmare." The baby started to get fussy and my heart ached.

"I-I-No. She can't be mine."

"Roi. Pick her up. Before the other one cries."

"Other on-" He pointed to a bigger crib across the room with a much older child. Around Eloise's age.

"You flipping, messing with me?"

"No I'm not. Trust me. This is what I was away doing." He said earnestly.

"Pick her up." He pressed as she started crying. I slowly walked towards her and picked her up and it felt so right. Almost too right. I don't know what went off in my head, but it was like a small confirmation that this baby is mine.

"How do you know?"

"I got one of your hairs off of your pillow. I'll show you the documents tomorrow."

"Now I feel like a poopy head." I sniffled.

"I deserved it babe. I should've been frank with you. The entire time."

"Still though, I should've been more calm."

"Does that mean you're not getting rid of me?"

"Don't pull this mess again."

"Yes!" He brought me in for a hug. I bounced the child in my arms and I watched her slowly go back to sleep.

"Did you ever have names picked out, love?"

"No. But if I ever had my own, embarrassingly enough, I always thought I'd be a mom to boys." Liam laughed.

"Have a name now?"

"Nope." We looked over the two for a while and before I knew it I was getting a soft tap on my shoulder. I think I fell asleep or some because as I looked around, I noticed I was still in the baby room.

"Mommy?" Ben whispered. He smiled at me and looked at the baby in my arms.

"Yes?"

"Daddy's home." He snickers. I wink at him.

"Daddy is and look at who he brought home with him from the hospital." I guessed.

"Are they more cousins?"

"No."

"How do you feel about being an even bigger brother and you get to have an accomplice at your side?" I asked. Ben's face lit up. It's on his new birthday list that he gave me earlier than usual.

"Mommy! This my sister?"

"Yes."

"What's her name?"

"We don't know yet. How about this? Want to name her?" I asked.

"Oh! Uh…" He tapped his little chin for a long while and soon I felt Liam's arm tighten around my waist.

"I like the name River. But that's not for her though mommy. I want her name- I-I want her name to be Eleanora Grey uh…" He thought for another second before smiling at Liam and saying "Samuels!" He cheered.

"I mean…" Liam trailed.

"Samuels. Eleanora Grey Samuels." I confirmed.

"Eleanora Grey Samuels." He said.

"Is dat my brother?"

"Yeah baby."

"Can I name him too?"

"When he wakes up my love." I gave him a kiss and he trotted out the room.

"Now how are we going to tell everyone else ?" I huffed.

"Let's just surprise them baby." He kissed my neck.

"Now come give Daddy a kiss."

"Never say that again either." I chuckled and kissed his lips. I moved back and he pulled my chin back over and gave me another kiss.

"I missed those lips."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. Miss mine?"

"No. I missed your presence. The kids missed your presence. Seriously we were all grumpy. I even had to put them both in a time out."

"Daddy's home. So now you don't have to discipline by yourself."

"Thank you." I sighed.

"Now I also want to ask you something."

"What?"

"Let's go somewhere this year. I want to take you to meet some of my family."

"When were you going to tell me about this other family huh?"

"It's just my dad, his wife and my brother."

"When do you want to go?"

"Maybe for christmas or whenever we got the time you know? I just want to make it happen, ma."

"Alright. But I gotta see when I can take off. I'm like imaginary balls deep into this little uterine gland."

"How's that going?"

"We've found a way to trigger the hormone response but it's now just keeping the hormone's going. Believe it or not it has more to do with blood then you think. When partners exchange blood of a large quantity it kicks the glands in gear and we start to produce reproductive hormones which in turn makes it possible for us to get pregnant."

"So are you saying that we might have found a way to have natural birth?"

"Yes and without the administration interfering now and messing with us there is a greater probability of it happening especially to new baby copies. But I'm not signing off on that."

"What do you mean by signing off?"

"They sent some type of file that gives them the permission to take our DNA and clone more of us and I said no. Which has also been stressing me out. I get a call almost every single day and each time I say no. That's why I wanted you to watch the kids yesterday because I had some business to handle if you catch my drift."

"I'll take care of it. Keep doing your thing and you won't have to worry about them hounding you."

"Liam?"

"Relax. I got the kids back now to get them off our backs for good." He said confidently.

"You know I'm here if we're about to go in right?"

"I'm glad you are. Now gimme a kiss."

"Another one?"

"Always baby." I shook my head and with a blush on my face I gave him another.

"I can't wait to make more babies." He wiggled his eyebrows at me.

"You know what?"

"What?"

"I can't believe I'm gonna say this because I really don't want to be one of those but put a ring on it."

"But we're already committed."

"Boy. Stop. I'm not putting my womb through all this stress for anybody. So put a ring on it in a few years and then talk to me about making more babies."

"We don't even have to wait a few years."

"Oh but we are."

"I'm not getting any younger?"

"And I ain't finna have all kids under the age of three."

"He's almost two?" Liam pointed to the boy in the crib who had just gotten up.

"Liam cut it out." He chuckled and pecked my lips again. Okay he wasn't lying about missing my lips. I gave Eleanora to him before walking over to the long haired boy in his floor crib. He looked at me for a long time before raising his hands. The little boy had my complexion with hazel eyes and long frizzy curly hair like Ben. He had a blue pacifier in his mouth and he even had my nose. I picked him up and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He pointed to something in his crib and I picked it up. It was a picture that Liam took of me at the party we threw for Ria and my baby niece. I was outside his house and I posed for the camera.

"Who's that?" I asked. He tapped the picture and then tapped me. He gave me his pacifier and put his head on my shoulder.

"Mm." He moaned.

"He knows who you are. I spent weeks teaching him and talking about you and showing him pictures. He always likes to look at that one of you." Liam spoke.

"Mama." He said. I smiled at Liam.

"Thanks."

"He was going to call you that anyways."

"Dada!" He yelled pointing at Liam.

"Mhm." I kissed his hand and watched him look at his hand in fascination before smiling at me.

"I guess it's time to start the day." I sighed.

"Yeah I guess so, sunshine." I shook my head and rolled my eyes. I left the room with the little boy in my arms. I felt complete.

Liam's Pov:

Roi was something else. She was a natural at almost everything she did, even mothering. It didn't take long for the kids to get settled in today and I'm glad. I wanted lots of children. It didn't matter whether they were all by the same woman or not. But now things were different. I only saw a future with Roi hence I would do anything to make her happy. If Roi wasn't happy the family wasn't happy. That was clear to me.

When Roi mentioned marriage, I had never given it a thought. To me we already were in a committed relationship and in a way us exchanging blood? That was our marriage to me. But if Roi wanted a wedding she would get one. I don't mind making it official with her on paper and thus I can even fill out adoption forms for the kids. I wanted to be just as responsible for them as she was. Roi came up to me and kissed my cheek. She set her now youngest son in my lap and then placed my plate down. He looked up at me and touched my face. He ran his hands through my beard which I needed to shave. I'm surprised Roi didn't say anything about it yet. Roi came back and set herself on the chair next to mine. I put a hand on her knee. Roi looked at me in question and I simply reached over and kissed her cheek.

"Seriously, what is with you today?"

"A man cannot enjoy his wife and kids?"

"I'm not your wife."

"Yes you are. Or you will be."

"So is this what you wanted to talk about after I was done cooking breakfast?"

"A bit. Specifically about moving in."

"You move where?"

"Here. I'm not moving all my stuff just me and my clothes in that big closet of yours."

"I don't think you need to be moving in anywhere. Anytime soon."

"Still mad at me?" I smiled at her. She was cute when she was angry. Sometimes at least.

"Maybe."

"I'm serious when I say it won't happen again. Besides you have four now and I'm known as Daddy to Ben and Eli. I just figured that it might be better for everyone if I just move in."

"Talk to Lyle. If he says yes, then fine. I only say this because it's been agreed upon."

"I'm cool with it." We both turned around and watched as Lyle himself walked in through the side door.

"Unca Lyle!" Ben got out of his chair and ran towards him. Lyle picked him up and gave him a hug.

"Hey Benny." He put Ben down and Ben ran back to his seat.

"How many times do I have to tell you to use the front door?" Roi snapped.

"Why? It's locked."

"That's the point brother." Roi rolled her eyes and gave him a hug.

"Hey man what's up?" He greeted me.

"A bunch."

"Either way. I'm fine if he moves in and…" He looked at the table and around the room then he blinked and looked back down at us.

"Am I seeing things or is there one more Eloise and Ben?"

"No." Roi stated. Just then her son moved off my lap and into Roi's. Roi stood up and smiled.

"Lyle… This is my-"

"Howdy, howdy… Is it just me or are there more people in this room than what there should be?" Anna who held up her key came in through the front door clearly.

"Roi! Where's the bathroom again!?" Ria's voice filtered through the halls.

"Down the hall to your left!" Roi shouted. "What is going on today. Y'all be breaking into my house like it's nobody's business but yours." She snapped.

"We were just checking on you. We know you've been a bit overwhelmed lately. Also glad to see you two made up! I swear she was gushing over how much she misses you and that she shouldn't have fought with you and yack, yack, yack." Anna outed. Roi face palmed and shook her head.

"Miss you too baby." I winked and her cheeks were in full bloom.

"Somebody call mom." She said.

"On it." Anna shrugged.

"Mama."He said. He tapped her chest and looked at her necklace.

"Necklace." She told him. His face lit up at the new knowledge.

"Neckish!"

"Necklace."

"Neckolish." He repeated. Roi patted his back and gave him a kiss. It didn't take long for everyone to gather together. As soon as Roi and I awkwardly told them the news everyone cheered in happiness and nearly clobbered Roi and the children with hugs and kisses. I knew this would happen but Roi thought there would be more questions than cheer. Anna and Ria raved on about how this put them closer to the clinic's goal and they were happy to have new additions. Even Kian looked at the kids, with hope. Ned too. We celebrated the rest of the time anyone was to be at our home. It was a good day getting to know the two new additions and I spent a good day getting to know my family again. What really surprised me was the smile on Roi's face. There was never a day where she smiled so brightly and for so long. I wanted to see her like that all the time. Just plainly happy.

...…...10 days later......….

I had just walked into the house. I was tired. That was apparent from my sluggish walk. Thanksgiving today had been amazing. But as soon as it was over and my love and children were in bed, I put my plan together and left. Taking care of business was not ideal. But for my family's sake I would. We all would. Ned, Kian, Lyle and I. Even Faber. I was surprised when he asked to come with us a few days ago but I do not deny the help. What the girls didn't know is that the administration had bigger plans that I had gotten wind of. Ever since I went on this journey to make my Roi complete, I've uncovered more and more things that none of us want our women to get involved with. They are busy enough with the clinic and now the hospital since we've been doing this. They still don't know of what we do and for now we'd like to keep it this way.

I got a nice hot shower and when I was done I dried myself off and threw on a pair of basketball shorts. I slipped into bed and surprisingly enough Roi rolled over and wrapped around me.

"I don't know what you did. But I'm trusting you to tell me soon. Alright?" I can feel her nerves jumble about her. Something that shocked me even more.

"Soon. For right now just let us handle it." I told her. Roi nodded her head and I can feel all of her nerves that were keeping her up went away. Especially as I put an arm around her waist.

"I love you so much baby."

"I love you too, Liam." She mumbled and closed her gorgeous eyes. Before I utterly fell asleep the only thing I thought about was this glorious woman besides me. She's my everything and I'm not losing her whatsoever. The administration can't have her.

When the sun was up I was the first to hear the small whimper from down the hall. I got up and entered the girls room. It didn't take us long to move our new additions in with their siblings. We decided that the girls should be together and the same for the boys then we made the old room into a playroom. Moving the kids together at first was a bit of an issue for Eloise but soon she warmed up to the change. I think Eloise does get jealous because she's used to all of the attention next to her brother but I think she will get over it within another week or so. It's not like she is as bad as other kids. I picked up a whining Eleanora and kissed her face. Then to make sure that Eloise didn't feel left out and like I never did this anyways. I picked up Eloise and gave her some love too. I watched as Roi came in the room and reached her arms out for Eloise who was happy to get some attention from her mother. Roi kissed my cheek and bid me a goodmorning then she went to Eleanora and gave her a kiss on the head.

"How did you sleep?" She asks next.

"Perfectly fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes love. It doesn't take long for us to recover, you know that?"

"Still doesn't mean I can't check on you."

"Yes my darling." I gave her a kiss on the forehead. Today was a big day for Roi and sadly I might not be there because of whatever us men are doing. But I think our partners have some understanding or inkling of that already. Today Roi was going to open up testing for fertility. We might have a pregnancy in one of her subjects today and I can't wait to hear about it all. For right now we had Roi and her mom working in my hospital and Anna and Ria working in the clinic. It was going to be coordinated between the two locations and was only meant to be shared within our alliances of our progress.

Eventually our morning continued as it normally did and soon I was dropping the kids off at the daycare in my building and not so long after that I met up with Ned, Kian, Faber, and Lyle. We parked our cars in the trees and approached our entrance sight.

The administration has been on high alert after last night's attack and today as we had planned it they had called on us to investigate the sight. See what we destroyed last night was the administration's new mutant and clone programs. Except this time they would be using Roi's and I's research in order to take control of the mutants. Roi's purpose was bigger than I ever thought even my own purpose was larger than I ever thought. The administration knew we would get together somehow. They've been knowing who I was and where I was for a long time. When they gave Roi the assignment to hunt me down, the administration was creating a scenario where we would meet, where Roi would purposefully feel, so that way they can create a monster.

Roi was purposefully made to feel, to transform, to become rogue. She was made to rule, she was made to be bait. Roi is… I actually don't know. But I do know is that if I told her all of this, our relationship would be over and that's what they want. They want her to explode, to reproduce, to mother, to be the end of all things that be. They needed a puppet and that was Roi. Ever so powerful Roi. This plan also included Anna and Kaylia. We read documents that stated their entire purpose. Ned even found out that Anna had been subjected to the same kind of torture as Roi. Each file was marked with the word Failed in all red. Anna and Kaylia failed a test that Roi didn't. Now if I only knew what that test was? Eitherway, Roi was meant to destroy as much as she was meant to build. The administration was riding on the power and superiority of Roi, to connect with everyone and through that the administration would have endless control. They were going to ruin so many lives. I can't let Roi be that for everyone we have met. I can't be that. We can't do that. It's wrong. It's not us. It's not what Roi and I wanted to be and to do.

"Liam, you okay?" I looked over at Lyle. I shook my head. I hardly ever admit to not being okay but Roi changes things like that. If Roi doesn't feel you always feel for her regardless. That's why I was so intrigued by her in the beginning. Her essence, her power gives you no choice but to be drawn to her like a moth to a flame. She is what can create us all. Roi is the missing link of fertility. It didn't matter if she figured out how to trigger it or not. In Roi were answers and pathways to all.

"I'd like to say no. I can't bring myself to it. Roi expects me to tell her everything. But there is no way I can tell Roi without losing her. There's no way that any of us can say anything to our partners without losing them." I admitted.

"You should give them more credit. Believe me I've seen what they can do first hand. I'm sure the girls are able to fight it somehow."

"You really believe that?" Ned spat. Lately Anna and him haven't been on good terms. So I can understand why he's a bit pessimistic. Anna said something or did something. I suppose I'll get the full details later.

"You've been nothing but an asswipe to her for months. If it's anyone who should be on their period it's Anna, not you." Lyle huffs.

"Like you're being better to Kaylia?" Ned points out.

"At the end of the day we are all being pricks to our women. Can't you see this is what they want?" Kian says. This made me wonder about Ria's place in all of this and even their mother, Yani. What was their place in this mess? What did they not know about?

"Kian's right. We've all been assholes." Faber breathed and ran a hand through his greying hair. "When we got everything sorted out, we should tell them and hope for the best. If they are truly our women and not some creation from hell then they shouldn't do what we expect them to and neither should we."

"What are you getting at, old man?" Ned was just in a shit mood period.

"I don't know what happened between you and Anna to get you all bent out of shape but we caused it. You can't be mad at her for that."

"You don't know shit."

"Watch yourself pup!" Ned hissed and I saw a black vein appear on his face. I put my hand on his shoulder.

"Stand down now!" I ordered. The vein didn't disappear but Ned did back away a bit from Faber.

"Now kindly enlighten us why you're bleeding from your peehole." Faber ordered. Ned took a big breath.

"I came home after the mission and Anna was already upset. She didn't know where I had gone in the middle of the night and all I said was for her not to worry about it and she came out of nowhere and accused me of cheating. Now I don't understand where the accusation or the thought came from and when I told her I wasn't cheating on her, she didn't believe me. This started an argument and we went back and forth for a long time and just as I thought I ended the argument, Anna had knocked over a picture of us in her anger and ripped up the picture. She had fangs and her eyes were all white and her tears were red like blood. Anna yelled at me "Stay away from us!" I don't know what she means by us but it scared the shit out of me and I haven't been home after that. Matter of fact thanksgiving was when I saw her last and Anna was acting as if nothing had happened that day. That she didn't rip up our picture that I gave to her for her birthday."

"Sounds like…" Kian started.

"Roi." I finished.

"Anna and Roi, feed off of emotions. Fear from the prey drives any predator to go for the kill." Lyle said cryptically.

"What do you mean?" I spoke.

"I thought you guys knew or would understand. But when I was being trained and educated, the administration taught me about Roi and Anna. I don't remember a lot but it was enough for me to do my job at the time. You see...ugh! It was something nova!" Lyle yelled. He was trying to remember something. "Project blank nova, rogue? No that's not it. Or maybe it is."

"You mean Project Supernova rogue?" I said. It was mentioned in those files Roi got dug up.

"That's it! See the project was or from what I remember, was to make them change or turn into some terrible monster thing. Most of us when we go berserk gain more animalistic traits like wolf-mutants except more demon-like. But Anna and Roi are meant to surpass what is normal berserk-ness. For a long time woman were unable to go berserk in the way that we do and then that changed when Ann came a long? I'm not sure. I think it runs off of their emotions that they always suppressed. But now that they feel… Holy shit!"

"What is it?" Ned asked urgently.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck! Faber is right. We have to tell them now!"

"Why?" I was confused as Lyle rushed back to his car.

"What's today's moon?" He asked his phone ignoring my question. He paced. He was calculating, thinking real hard as his phone replied that tonight there would be a full moon.

"We have to go before it's too late!"

"I'm afraid it is." Someone said lowly. There was a woman who stood in front of us and judging by her red colored eyes it's obvious she is not normal.

"I'm Dr. Katlyn Hemsworth. I'm the head of the administration. We've been watching you for a long time. You see we have had this planned out for years and you 000100 started it all." She oozes blood from her mouth, ruining her white suit and her hair went from all black to a white. Almost a platinum.

"Don't worry. There is nothing to fear. I created you. You may call me mom. I even created the perfect partners for you. Well almost." This lady had serrated black teeth and black claws. We all got in a fighting stance as we were being surrounded.

"You can come peacefully or risk being terminated. Your choice." She tilted her head at us.

"I'll kill you bitch!" I growled.

"But son I'm already dead!" She shouted and was the first to attack. I can only hope that the girls don't come for us. I'm not sure what's going on anymore.

Roi's Pov:

After going into the hospital today, I had a slight foreboding feeling in my gut. But then again I excused it as nerves. Today was the day of truth. After all of this research and many tests, we were hoping that the woman would be pregnant, even Anna. Ned doesn't know about it but we thought since he's been wanting and talking about starting a family with Anna, we thought that this can be good news for him if she is. Anna and Ned don't plan on doing things the human way and getting married so I think it's about time that they start a family or try to at least. This might even patch things up between the two.

Anna told me what happened that day and she feels awful about it. She's never had that reaction before, but since she did and it's on brand with other copies, I have hope that she is pregnant. It's very possible. That could be why she did what she did. Anywho she got another copy made of the picture and she got the frame replicated. It was made out of crystal glass and she broke it beyond repair. She was going to give it to Ned's up and coming birthday and hope he'd forgive her.

With that being said, I thought that it was just my relationship that was failing first, but now I noticed it's everyone's. My mom's relationship with Gregory Faber was rocky, Anna and Ned were rocky, Lyle and Kaylia were rocky. Even my sister and Kian! We didn't expect that to happen. Kian is practically glued to my sister and my niece. It honestly hasn't been making us feel great. They leave for months on end, don't tell us where they have gone or where they went, and they keep finding ways to not tell us things. I find it ridiculous. I just know that right now, I'm putting my faith that they will fix things between us before it's too late. They will tell us what they're up to. But then again, I'm not one for all of that hope. Liam made promises to me and if he breaks them even more than he has already done, I will drop him like a bad habit, and I'll know that I should be careful who I trust from now on. I think I might retreat back into what I know and teach my kids the same. Emotions get in the way sometimes and I want to teach them to not allow it. To shut them off like I can shut them off.

I left my final message to Liam who I knew wasn't going to make it. I just knew he wasn't at work or in his car. I can't explain how, but I knew. A student from the lake district came into the room and smiled at me.

"It's time Ms. Collis. Is Mr. Samuels on his way?" I clenched my fist and looked down at my phone. I shook my head and like I flipped the switch on I flipped it back off. I had a mission to do and Liam and his secrets and these no good men weren't going to affect that.

"No. Proceed with the last test, Everett."

"Yes ma'am." I exited the room and went into the lab watching as all of the help that Liam has recruited worked on like busy bees. I don't know what it was or why I felt it, but there was a slight pain to my head. As if someone pricked me with a sewing needle. I felt power and pain. Looking at the leaders waiting eagerly in the glass box, I knew that if this worked in my favor that things would shift. That I had done right. There's been talk about making Liam and I the leaders of the clone's. An Empress and Emperor and that sounds tasty to me. It's sad to say that my partner is not here to share my thoughts on it.

My phone began to ring and seeing as it was Anna I answered."Hello?"

"Roi! We did it!" Anna chirped.

"What?"

"I'm pregnant Roi! Everyone who joined the project is pregnant!" She yelled happily into the phone. I smirked.

"Congratulations Anna. I knew you were pregnant!" I shouted.

"How's it going on your end?"

"I should be getting reports now on our subjects…" Everett and the other mutants who I've worked with came over to me with smiling faces.

"Hey Ms. Collis!" Ms. Juana subject number 6 yelled from below.

"Speaking of which- I'll call you later."

"Okay bye. I can't wait! I'm going to go shopping now!"

"I'll meet you once I've wrapped up everything."

"Cool Bye!"

"What is it?!" I yelled as soon as I hung up.

"We're pregnant!" Ms. Juana yelled back.

"You mean it really did work? Everett it worked?"

"See for yourself." He handed me over the report and I read through it carefully. Our three subjects who wanted to go through this process to have a child were pregnant and the other two were marked as permanently fertile. The formula I came up with, worked. It caused the reproductive hormones to start and function normally. We had babies and periods!

"We did it!" I yelled and hugged Everett. This is what I was hoping to experience with Liam but I'm too neutral to care about him right now. We created a cure for my kinds infertility. It was a miracle. My mom came into the room and I immediately hugged her. She moved away from me confused.

"What is it baby?"

"I did it! We're pregnant!" I yelled. Her face lit up and this time she hugged me with certainty.

"Oh I'm so happy for you Roi! I'm so proud of you! You worked so hard for this!" Right as my mom was telling me about my own journe to get this done, I felt a real bad pain run throughout my mind and I gripped onto my mom for dear life.

"Are you okay sweetheart?"

"Ms. Collis?" I was seeing things in red. It flickered in and out and I suddenly felt like I couldn't breath. This pain wasn't entirely mine. A part of it was Liam's. My knees felt wobbly. I had never felt so weak in my life. I fell to the floor.

"Ms. Collis!" My chest aches and there was a burning sensation coming from inside of me. I was sweating profusely.

"Ms. Collis!" Everett yelled, hitting my face lightly. "Someone get her some water!" He yelled and I watched as one of the other doctors here ran out the room to go get some. I saw him in red and I felt the need to run after him and kill him.

"Roi!?" My mom rubbed my hand and then I didn't see anything.

"Liam!" I croaked. I didn't sound normal. I sounded like a monster. A demon. I sounded evil to myself.

"Liam." I croaked again and soon all I heard were beating hearts and I felt myself salivate. They sounded delicious? I fell out after that. It all happened kind of quickly. Way too quickly. What did Liam do? Or matter of fact what happened to Liam?
