McKensie and Lara II :)
Delaney nodded and sighed "he won't believe any of those...I am the most graceful ballerina in my class, i am terrified of driving and...well why would I have a panic attack unless something happened to me."Chris shook his head "move over, I'm driving your stomach is touching the steering wheel." He shifted so he was in the drivers seat "eat your cream...ok? Everything is good."
Malibu got up in the middle of the night and cuddled up to her and smiled kissing her softly "I got lonely..." He whispered and catessed her impossibly tiny waist.
Brandon sighed, raking a hand through his hair. "Ok, how about someone else tripping and falling into you, so you both fall over?" He suggested, trying to help her out here, and he was running out of options. Laila rolled her eyes, switching seats with him. "I'm not that large yet, Chris!" She protested, sliding her seatbelt around her steadily growing stomach. She was getting bigger though. She pulled out her cream and started drinking it, and that was when she noticed something about the camera feed on Krissy's room. The curtain kept blowing in the same motion over and over, and Krissy never moved from the same spot on the bed… "Chris…" She whispered. "The feed has been looped. This isn't actually what is happening in Krissy's room right now." She breathed, suddenly nervous. And she had a right to be. Krissy was no longer at home.
Ashley didn't wake up completely, but she shifted so she was closer to him, moaning softly in her sleep. "Hi Mali…" she breathed, reaching blindly for his hand for a moment, before squeezing it. "Goodnight Mali…." She breathed even softer, content, before she fell asleep again.
Delaney smiled "I like that your being so good with me...I like this Brandon, you are so sweet..." She sighed kissing his cheek "you saved my life..."Chris swore and quickly drove home, he quickly opened the door and searched widely for his sister "Krissy!" He checked outside the window and followed the tire tracks to Daniel's place and dialed her phone.
Brandon found the tips of his ears heating up, and he knew they had turned pink with blush. He shook his head. "I… I wouldn't say that…. but thank you." he said, smiling a little. Then he chuckled. "I was only doing my job." he said, and he kissed her cheek. Krissy had looped the feed herself. She was at Daniel's and they were in his room. Her phone rang and rang, but it sat unnoticed in her discarded jeans on the floor, as she and Daniel were otherwise occupied.
Delaney smiled "Ashley told me you were a wreck and went to find me...that's the sweetest thing I have ever heard...I think...I want us to be together Brand, is that ok?"Chris immediately did some investigating and saw flames if anger, he knocked on the window angrily "get off of my sister now!" He didn't care that he embarrased her to death and caused a scene he was worried sick about her and she broke his trust.
At first Brandon just felt embarrassed by what she was saying, and he looked awkwardly at his hands. But when she finished her sentences, his looked up again, a smile forming on his face. "That sounds good." he whispered, dipping in to kiss her lips quickly. "That sounds real good."Daniel yelled in surprise and leaped off Krissy not sure at all what was going on. He started cursing. "Who the heck is that?" he asked Krissy, scrambling to pull his pants on. Krissy had paled and pulled the sheets up around her, staring at her brother for a moment. She felt intense guilt, and then anger at him for embarrassing her. She reached over and grabbed the blinds, pulling them down on him before she jumped up and got dressed. "Just my over protective older brother." She mumbled, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, Daniel. I really have to go. And if he hasn't murdered me, then I'll see you again soon, ok?"
Daniel nodded and caught her face in his hands, kissing her quickly before she ran out the back door, hopping into Chris's borrowed truck and starting up the engine. She didn't want to talk to him right now, so she was trying to get away unnoticed.
Delaney smiled "I think so too...you look exhausted, come on its pretty comfortable under here...I'm like a teddy bear you can hold and protect..." She scooted over and lay on the side of the pillow patting the bed "come here tired man..."Chris knocked on the window obviously not stupid "get out of the truck now!" He turned off the ignition steaming "I cannot be more angry at you Kristine Elanore Peterson! I set the camera up to protect you...I thought you were kidnapped and killed instead you were screwing your boyfriend!" He stepped away angrily "I can't even look at you right now...I'm going to work you get your ass home now!" He set a camera on her wrist "can't do anything do this one...try and I'll assassinate your boyfriend."
Brandon only felt tired, the moment she said it, and as if on cue, he yawned, shaking his head. "Alright, fine…" he huffed, even though he was smiling as he climbed on the bed beside her and wrapped his arms around her, scooting closer. "thank you." He whispered, relaxing. Krissy jerked when he rapped on the window. She thought about just driving off, but the look on his face told her that wasn't a good idea. So she stormed out of the truck, slamming the door behind her. She was going to start spewing about how he set up the camera to spy on her, and how his paranoia was getting really annoying, when instead he started on a rant of his own, that sent her face from scowling, into a creased rage. She couldn't even form thoughts any more. "Oh so you're just going to say 'I can't look at you right now'" she mimicked in a high pitched voice, "And stomp off? How very mature!" She shouted. When he slapped a camera on her wrist, Krissy went livid. She screamed in rage, hating that he was treating her like a baby. "I'm not a dog! Aaaagh! You can't keep a leash on me forever!" She said, and then she cooled into a simmering hate when he said he would touch Daniel. "You wouldn't." She hissed. Her eyes narrowed, and then she spun, jogging back in the direction of their apartment.
A bullet whizzed through the air and shot him in the side, he groaned in pain but was too angry to even feel the pain. He got in his truck slamming his fist hard against the wheel and driving home. He saw her storm to her room and shook his head "I need a mission or something..." He told the air and shook his head so upset "I hate this..."
Krissy stomped to her room, immediately gathering up clothes and stuffing them in her school backpack. Who cared about the stupid camera? She wasn't staying around here any longer! She had enough! She was carrying her bag of stuff past Chris's room, when she froze. There was something on the floor. She pushed open the door and peered into the bedroom. The window was open, and the room was empty, but… there was a puddle of blood on the floor. Krissy screamed.
Chris immediately came running and found that he couldn't run with the bullet in him, but he pushed it aside and ran to the room "Laila...LAILA!" He screamed going through the sheet and finding blood "no..no..." He cursed glaring at his sister, this was her fault him having to leave the house. He shook his head at the backpack "do what you want Krissy...I've got to get my wife and baby back..."
Krissy was just standing in the doorway, staring at the blood, her face pale. She loved Laila too, and now she was panicking. She shrank back when her brother started cursing and glared at her. She knew what that meant. He thought this was her fault. Krissy's eyes watered and she stumbled backwards. "I'm sorry." She mumbled, and she turned and ran. Laila had been taken by someone much higher up in the ranks than the man who had been collecting girls. This new 'villain' as he liked to think of himself, knew how to stay untraceable. And so he had made sure there would be blood, as a warning, and then no more tracks after than. It was like he had vanished, had never been there. And for now, Laila was off the grid. But he didn't intend for it to stay that way for long.
Chris shook his head feeling awful, he clicked on his new watch "Brandon...Malibu, anyone...my fiancé has been taken, there is blood...blood everywhere please come guys." He ran after his sister and held her close "you know I love you...I just get sick with worry for this reason...I'm recruiting you for the night, I need your stealth skills to get Laila back ok?..."
Brandon got the call and was immediately sitting up. "Delaney, there's an emergency with one of the agents. Apparently his girlfriend's been abducted." he explained. "Is it alright if I leave you here to go help?" he asked, not going to do it if she wasn't ok.Krissy, immediately dissolved into his arms, sobbing quietly, she hated being so tense around him. She loved him too, and all this was just too much. She had never seen so much blood before, and there was blood on Chris too. "O-ok." she stammered, backing away then and taking his hand. She clicked one of the buttons on his watch as she had seen other agents do, and the small med drone appeared, immediately going to Chris's side to pull out the bullet and heal the wound.
Delaney nodded and kissed his cheek "I'll be fine...please be safe...and come back when you find her please...oh that poor girl, she's probably terrified."Chris pushed the drone away "I don't like you...please go away!" He had a huge thing against robots, he seriously thought they were taking over the world. He sighed "leave the bullet in, I'm fine we have to save Laila and my baby...there's no trace so it isn't anyone we kniw villain wise which could be more dangerous."
Brandon nodded, kissing her deeply. "That's my brave girl. I promise I'll be back the moment we find her." he assured, waving as he ran out the door and boarded a jet to fly to HQ. Krissy slapped his arm. "Man up! It's a robot, and it's going to help you." she said, not meaning to be bossy, but she was scared for his sake, for her sake, and for Laila's sake, so she was taking charge. "I didn't know you were shot…" She shook her head. "You're no help to Laila hurt. So let the thing fix you or I'll… I'll tie you down and then have it fix you." She threatened. "Then we can go to your fancy head quarters and find agents who actually know how to find whoever took her."
Malibu got the call and turned off Ashley's phone so that she could sleep as he headed to HQ and found Brandon "hey how's your girl doing? Is Chris alright he sounded pretty distressed on the phone..."Chris sighef and let the robot remove it "it's no big deal...don't tie me down I hate that too...I hate a lot of things right now...I want Laila and I want my baby...and I want not to see my baby suster having sex with her boyfriend..."
Brandon looked up when Malibu came in and he smiled a little. "She's doing better. She's at the hospital right now and the doctors said she's on the road to recovery." Then he sighed. "He is pretty distressed. Apparently there was a bit of a mishap with his sister, and that was when Laila was taken, so it's rough all around."The med bot took out the bullet and healed his side before shrinking and returning to his watch, it's job done. Krissy bit her lip and looked down at her shoes, feeling incredibly guilty. "I want Laila back too." She whispered, biting down on her lip. "I'm sorry… about what you saw. You weren't home, but I didn't want you to worry if you saw me gone when you came back, so I looped the feed. I thought it would be harmless for an hour or so." She said softly, being honest with him.
Malibu sighed anxious about his twin sister gone, this was his worst fear ever since he joined the agency "well, what do we know? Obviously he sent in the data...is it even her blood?"Chris sighed "answering your phone would have helped or leaving a note...looping the feed had me believe that what happened to Laila happened to you...you know how scared I was?! And now she's gone because I was stupid enough to leave her alone..."
Brandon nodded, bringing up the files, and a picture of the room. "No. It wasn't her blood. That amount of her blood would mean she would surely be dead. The stuff was fake. Most likely just for an intimidation factor." he mused. "At least we have no evidence that she's been harmed."Krissy seemed to shrink smaller and smaller. She knew she had not thought her plan through very thoroughly. "I'm sorry." She mumbled. "I wasn't thinking that you might be that worried. How was I supposed to know that people were being kidnapped?" She stammered, tears stinging her eyes. She wasn't used to these sorts of situations. Chris had had training, but she was stumbling into a high stress situation with no experience or knowledge at all.
Malibu sighed in relief and scanned the picture of the room virtually almost as if he was in there himself, he found a fingerprint on the sill and analyzed it "bingo...we got a print Brand and it's not anyone in the household." He said almost excited at the first lead.Chris sighed and held her close as he helped her onto the jet once it arrived "everyone this is Krissy...can't risk her being alone, she won't get in the way...plus she hacked HQ database cameras she has amazing computer skills much to my agrim..."
Brandon was working on other leads when Malibu found the print and he immediately came over, peering at it. "Hold on a sec…" he said, zooming in. "thats… thats a direct match with the guru… but he's never done something like this before… nor do I think he's smart enough…." he said, scratching his head. That was when Chris and Krissy came in and he smiled, waving at her. "Krissy and Chris." he mused. "Cute names."Krissy had perked up once they boarded the jet, and she was beaming by the time they got to HQ "this is so cool…" She breathed, looking around, all the stress and kidnappings forgotten. "Can I help out?" She asked hopefully. She moved to one of the computers without asking and started typing away furiously. "If Laila's anywhere on the internet…" she said, searching. Twitter, Facebook, snap chat and a million other sites flashed as she searched for names, comments, and matching faces that might give them a trace. And that was when she came across a viral Youtube video. "Um…" She said nervously. "Chris?" She asked, calling him over. It was titled, "How to train your dog." And the cover image was a masked man in what looked like a ringmaster's suit. And at his feet, sat Laila, wearing only a studded collar attached to a leash in the man's hand.
Chris felt the anger boil up again, oh this was bad...he growled muting it and tracking it quickly using the locator and swore "she's still in the damn apartment building!" He said furiously and tossed the computer chucking it hard destroying it as he grabbed a sniper rifle and loaded it up quickly.
Krissy watched her brother furiously work to get a trace on the camera that had taken the video. She flinched when he threw the computer hard, as it was a little scary that he was so angry. Brandon listened to the video to see if there were any leads on why the man was doing this. At first he told Laila to say hello, and when she did, he slapped her. "Bark you b-" the feed cut and jumped again and the man looked happy again, but Laila had a bruise on her shoulder. This time, when he asked Laila to say hello, she barked softly, looking down. At the end, the triumphant man waved. "And that is part one of my video series. All you humans belong like this. On your knees. Begging." The video ended with him telling Laila to beg. Brandon swallowed. "So, looks like he's a new world domination seeker. At least Laila didn't look too harmed."
In the apartment, the camera that had been used to record the thing was sitting there, still filming, but no longer streaming to YouTube. In front of it, sat two figures. A stuffed dog with a studded collar, and a masked mannequin. A sticky note was taped to its chest. 'Close, but not fast enough.' The YouTube video had not been live after all, and while Laila and the man had been here filming at one point, the man had already disappeared from the grid with her, and was looking for a new location to film part two.
Chris growled angrilly ripping the two puppets to shreds, he had to find them. He analyzed the tape and found clues...the circus, that's where all the clothes came from and the collar. He growled heading there and hiding in the shadows as he heard the new film being made he pulled up his sniper and shot him directly in the face removing the mask and revealing a grotesque face, not even human...he didn't think as he shot him 7 times in the chest his heart racing as he went to his love "Laila...hell..."
The 'ring master' was in the middle of teaching Laila new tricks like 'wag' to wag her fake tail, and beg, and whine, and he was currently trying to get her to pee on some newspapers when shots rang out and he convulsed as he fell. Laila actually yelped then, scrambling away on all fours just as fast as she could. When Chris emerged, she only felt relief and deep shame. She looked down, hugging her knees to herself to try and cover up. The ringmaster had made her do very many degrading things, and she could hardly look at Chris because of the embarrassment and shame.
Chris grabbed a blanket and wrapped her up after removing the tail and collar and just held her close kissing her hair and shaking his head in angst against what had been done to her "let's get you home baby..." He whispered picking her up and getting her on the jet. He sighed looking at Krissy "can you find some clothes for her?..." Malibu wanted to comfort her but he didn't know how to, he felt stuck and just drew her a picture leaving it by her side and heading home to Ashley, he was too wrecked to sleep...need alcohol.
Laila felt some relief once the tail and the collar were gone. At least she could start feeling like her normal self. But she wasn't, really. She wondered if she ever could be again. She curled up in the blanket, clutching it around her as Chris lifted her and carried her into the jet. She sat huddled on one of the beds, as Krissy came up and gave her a huge hug, and then ran off to grab one of the uniforms from the jet. It was just a completely green thing, and much too large for Laila's small body, but it was comfy, so she didn't object to letting Krissy help change her into it. Then she just sat there, curled up, the blanket still around her shoulders, and looked at Mali's picture. She wished she could see him. But she knew this was rough for everyone, so she didn't ask. Ashley was awake when Malibu came back and she immediately ran to him, hugging him. "What's wrong? What happened? Why were you called in?" She asked, panicked.
Chris came to sit by her, he laid his head near hers and just cried "I'm quitting...I can't risk having you or Krissy hurt...I was destroyed seeing you gone, I won't risk your life or safety again...we will move and have our baby forget all about this..".the minute he said that he flicked the switch letting the memory gas sweep in and her forgetting all about it, every last detail.Malibu hugged her and started to cry hating that he was so emotional "they had my sister...she was treated like a dog...the bastard is dead thanks to Chris...but...I just can't un-see her like that."
Laila hugged him when he came over and she just held onto him. Her eyes widened and she shook her head, wanting to find words, but she couldn't. Her thoughts ran through her head like a tidal wave. You can't! Even if we forget, no one will forget that you were an agent. They will still come after us, but you won't be able to protect us anymore! The agency won't like that you're gone. How will we be safer if we don't have you to protect us? Please don't do this… But Laila was too traumatized to say anything out loud, so she just shook her head frantically as the gas swept in and immediately knocked her and Krissy unconscious, they were not immune to it like agents were, after all. Ashley hugged him tight against her, rubbing his back and trying in any way to comfort her. She shook her head, feeling horrified at what some twisted minds could do to people. "I'm so sorry that happened." She said honestly. "Time does heal all wounds, eventually." She whispered. "Do we know who the man was? There may be others like him out there."
Chris sighed tiredly and took them both home, he wasn't going to quit now that he realized they needed them and he had to protect them. He made sure everything was perfect and was grateful lKrissy would still remember the time she lost her virginity but nothing after that. Laila would never re-live that humiliation and everything was good again.Malibu shook his head "just some kook...Chris is leaving the apartment and is going to be secure with HQ finest security..." He kissed her lovingly "I just need you right now Ash...please..."
When Laila and Krissy woke up, they both woke at the same time, rubbing their eyes and frowning in confusion. Laila had a mini panic attack when she couldn't see Chris, and couldn't remember how she had gotten there. She was in bed, the blood had all been cleaned up, but she didn't understand how she had gotten from the car, with all the creams in the back, and now was suddenly in bed. "Chris?" she called hesitantly. "Was all the cream brought in? I really hope it wasn't spoiled…" she sat up, hugging her arms. "Did I hit my head or something? I can't remember how I got here for some reason." Ashley nodded, relaxing a little. As long as they knew for sure that there weren't any others of those people. She sat with him on the couch and nodded. "Alright." She said softly. "I'm here. I'm not going anywhere." she promised, her smile small as she kissed him gently.
Chris sighed in relief and smiled at her gently "the cream is in the fridge and freezer, do you want any? You were tired and fell asleep in my arms...I brought you to bed. Kriss and I had a spat, I caught her having sex with Daniel...so she will be sore at me."Malibu kissed down her neck and chest "I can't sleep baby...please...I'm not begging but I might as well be Ash, help me forget..."
Laila relaxed when he said the cream was away, and she nodded, getting up and going to the fridge to get out some. She poured herself a glass. It was strange that she didn't remember falling asleep… but hey. That's what being tired did to you. Then she raised an eyebrow. "She had sex with Daniel?" She repeated. "My goodness they grow up fast." She shook her head. "So I am to suspect that she won't be talking to you?" she confirmed, drinking some of the cream. Ashley smiled a little then. "Alright, well, because you asked so nicely…" she kissed him back passionately, pressing herself up against him as her hands slid under his shirt and trailed over his back.
Chris sighed exhausted and nodded "yeah...I think she's never going to forgive me for this, but I got scared...I mean she was gone and then he was on her! I mean it was awful! My baby sister...ugh I can't even think about it." He poured some cream for himself and smiled "baby loves milk..."Malibu snuggle up with her after he smiled up at her "hey...you ok?, I called in sick for the day so it's just you and me Ash..." He whispered and kissed her collarbone "I love you Ash..."
Laila nodded in understanding. "I don't blame you." She assured, squeezing his hand. "and I'm sure Krissy will come out and talk again once she's gotten over her embarrassment." she assured. "You did see her and Daniel together, right? I know if Andrew walked in on you and me, and then got mad, I'd probably be mad at him back too, mostly just out of embarrassment." She said honestly, finishing her glass of cream and pouring another. She nodded, sighing heavily. "Sure does. You'll have to roll me to the hospital at this rate…" she said, shaking her head. "But I'm going to blame you for the cream cravings, because I've never liked cream this much."Ashley nodded, kissing his chest as she curled up again. "I'm alright. Thanks for calling in sick. I think a day off would be very nice." she said honestly, smiling at him. "I think I love you too, Mali…" She said honestly, and then her eyes widened when she realized what she just said. Her lips spread into a huge smile. "Yes… I think I love you too."
Chris smiled and placed his lips on her wrist and smiled caressing her cheek "I love you...I think you look adorable pregnant and Im lactose intolerant this you can't blame on me..." He smiled as Krissy came out and sighed "I'm so sorry Krissy...I shouldn't have embarrassed you like that, I was just scared...you were gone and I got scared."Malibu grinned and kissed her lovingly again and again "I've never said that to anyone I've ever dated, i was too scared of rejection...but Ash, you complete me...I've never felt so...open with anyone."
Laila groaned then. So this was her own fault. Oh phooey. It was so much easier to just blame someone else. "Well regardless. This baby has an unusual love for cream, even by my standards." She said, as she downed another glass. "At least they don't like… asparagus. Or chop suet. Or… squid or something. Cream I can deal with."Krissy walked in with a scowl on her face, and the scowl immediately disappeared at his apology. She immediately ran over and hugged him, whispering that she was sorry too, and she hadn't thought it would worry him that badly.
Laila gave Chris a look that said, 'see? I told you so'.
Ashley smiled, closing her eyes and just enjoying his company. "And no one has ever said something so nice to me before." She whispered, kissing him back. "I'm glad we found each other." She said honestly. "Or else I may never have opened up to anyone."
Chris smiled and hugged her tightly grateful for this do over he smiled lightly "just so you know...I love you Krissy, I'm glad that you are happy with Daniel but please be safe...you don't want to have to worry about teen pregnancy...did you wear a condom this time?"Malibu smiled and buried his face in her chest in inhaled "thank you love...I'm glad you can be honest with me, thanks for being a great support...and easy to talk to..."
Krissy nodded slightly, her face tucked against him. "I love you too. But I think I'm scarred." She mumbled, smiling lightly. "And Daniel might have had a heart attack when you rapped on the window..." She added, shaking her head. Then she looked up, smirking. "Condoms? What's a condom? Come on, Chris, just cause we're teens doesn't mean we're completely stupid. Of course we used a condom."Ashley nodded, holding him close to her. "Of course." She assured. "It goes both ways, you know. You've been a great support to me too. Thanks for letting me stay over tonight." She said seriously.
Chris sighed in relief and pecked her forehead "good, I don't want to be taking you to the doctor next..." He sighed "if you want to talk about that stuff...please do it with Laila I can't handle much more Krissy."Malibu nodded "yeah...it wasn't s big deal, wish you could stay over all the time...but the apartment is so small it would be a full house with Brandon."
Krissy smiled softly then, taking a step back. "Ok. I will. Now stop worrying. Life is good, and you look like you've been through hell. Please sit down and rest for a bit." She said seriously. Laila nodded her agreement over a glass of cream. "Yes, please. I feel like Armageddon took place, and I missed it." she said seriously. "And Krissy, I'd be more than happy to answer questions." she promised, getting up. The moment she straightened, she winced and clutched her now pregnant looking stomach.
Ashley smiled softly, kissing his cheek. "Thats alright. I have an apartment, but thank you." she said, bumping her nose against his. "Tell me something no one knows about you." She said, a daring glint in her eyes as she smiled.
Chris frowned and went to her side, he placed his hand on her stomach worriedly "are you doing ok? You look like your in pain..." He said helping her to bed "we are going to move soon love by the way...found us a real nice house." He frowned at Krissy "you had a full doctor's appointment right? I mean that common for girls?"Malibu thought hard and smiled "I've always wanted a dog..." He swallowed wishing he hadn't said that "now my twin was a dog..." He shook his head "let me think of something else..." He focused "oh when I was a kid I always wanted s little turtle."
Laila nodded quickly, breathing through pursed lips. "Yeah… fine." She managed. "Baby's just a little active…" She admitted, curling up over her stomach to try and alleviate some of the pain. She couldn't understand why the baby felt so distressed for some reason. She was glad of something else to talk about. "That's wonderful…" she breathed a couple times. "I can't wait…to see it."Krissy nodded, "Yeah. Had a check up a couple months ago." She promised. "I'm healthy."
Ashley noticed that he looked a little forlorn when he mentioned wanting dogs, and his second comment told her why. She bit her lip, hugging him a little closer. "Turtle man, eh?" she repeated, trying to keep conversation away from the whole dogs thing. "I never thought of you as a turtle person, but that's cool." She said honestly.
Chris sighed and smiled in relief "good...that helps me a lot, you are healthy and are smart about your birth control...I want you on the pill though, one night without a condom and Laila is pregnant."Malibu smiled "imagine those cute little box turtles the size of your Palm with its little eyes looking up at you begging you to take him home...but Laila had a cat."
Krissy rolled her eyes then. "I thought you just said I was healthy and smart about birth control. Why do I need the pill too?" She asked. "Laila only got pregnant once you guys didn't use a condom, and I don't intend not to." She said seriously. Then she bit her lip. "But I'll take the pill cause you asked." she said, sighing softly. A soft moan escaped Laila's lips and she gasped, sweating. Looked like the baby wasn't going to calm itself. She needed to take other measures. "Chris… can you grab me an Antacid tablet please? I think the box says Alka Seltzer on it."
Ashley laughed easily at his story, shaking her head. "Well… sounds like it might be cute, but I'm not a huge fan of anything that lives in the water. Not reptiles, per say, I have four snakes at home, but just, slimy things. Like fish, frogs, and salamanders, and leeches and things. Especially leeches." She said seriously, shuddering.
Chris quickly grabbed the box and put it in a glass of water for her "plop plop fizz fizz oh what a relief it is." He chuckled and put away the cream "you have a cute baby belly Laila."Malibu chuckked "not a fan of slimy things myself...including snakes, sorry they just freak me out love..." He said honestly and nudged her "what's an animal we can agree on?"
Laila drank the drink slowly, as she really hated the taste, but it was already helping settle her stomach, so she forced it down anyways. "Thanks. You're a life saver." She said, relaxing against the head of the bed. She looked down at her stomach and shook her head forlornly. "You know how wrinkled this thing is going to be once the baby comes?" She asked, pulling up her shirt so her stomach was exposed and she could massage it. "I've already got stretch marks on top of stretch marks." She complained. Ashley laughed softly. "It's alright. Not many people like snakes. That's why I don't take them on walks." She joked, shaking her head. Then she thought for a moment. "Do you like exotic animals? There's these things called Sugar Gliders, they're super cute and apparently they make amazing pets too." She suggested.



Laila glanced at the camera and sighed in relief. "Thank goodness." She worried about Krissy like she was her own sister. Then she smiled sheepishly and shrugged. "I can't be blamed for cravings." She said, hopping into the driver's side of her car. "You coming?" She asked, motioning him into the passenger side as she started it up.
Ashley nodded, but she wasn't sure that he was happy. She could understand why he might not be, but she honestly couldn't do anything about it. Rules were rules, and she didn't want to lose this job. "Alright. Thank you. Goodnight." She curled up on the couch, tucking herself in. "Love you, Mali." She whispered as she closed her eyes.
