Quinn sobered at the buzz killing thought, Id advise you to tell Kane to brush up on his spells he would need more than one.
Kat blinked in surprise at her mate then sighed softly. Well, at least hed stopped making fun of Devon.
Chapter 2
Chad pulled into the driveway of Trevors apartment and parked beside Evey. He turned off the car and sat back for a moment thinking about everything that had happened in the last couple weeks. Between him and his sister, he didnt know who was the most screwed up now well okay, hed let Envy win that one. Still, his hadn't been a cake walk either.
Just the thought that hed been killed and brought back to life by Kriss and Dean was nothing less than harrowing. It gave him the chills knowing he was supposed to be buried in a cemetery somewhere over done. In short, it scared the crap out of him. To make matters worse, neither Fallen seemed to know what the consequences of their actions would be on future events.
Hed gone back to PIT headquarters to get his duffel bag and luckily caught Ren alone in his office. Hed taken the opportunity to again ask Ren if there was anything he should be aware of. Unfortunately, the all-knowing Ren didnt know anything more than Kriss and Dean and it grated a little bit on Chads nerves.
At this rate, he would probably spend the next few weeks walking on eggshells to make sure nothing else happened but in his line of work, that was never a guarantee. Chad had finally just shrugged it off and decided he was just as human now as hed ever been and to hell with the unknown. The decision had actually taken a load off his shoulders.
Hello Chad, Eveys soft voice called over to him.
Chad looked out the passenger window and smiled, Hey Evey. He got out of the car and walked over to her drivers side door. When her window rolled down, he leaned against it pretending he was actually talking to a person, although his gaze was focused on the lit up dash. How are you doing?
When you look this lovely, its hard not to feel good, Evey answered making Chads smile widen.
I cant argue with that logic, Chad said running his hand across her roof.
Trevor left the key to the front door in my dash, she opened the passenger door. Its all yours.
Chad stepped back when the door came ajar then slid in the front seat to open the glove compartment. Hows Trevor doing?
Evey sighed, Im afraid Trevor isnt here he said something about letting off some steam by kicking some bad guy butt.
Chad frowned, that sounded like Trevor but why didnt he take Evey?
Why arent you with him? he asked putting a voice to his curiosity.
He said he needed to be alone for a while, Evey answered. Hes upset because hes afraid the conflict between him and Devon will upset Envy and cause her to lose the baby.
Chad shook his head, I dont think itll come to that. Both of them are hard headed but theyd never intentionally hurt Envy.
He loves her, Evey said sounding almost sad.
Chad nodded, Yeah, I know.
So instead of thinking about Devon, hes gone to take his pain out on something else? Evey wanted clarification of the mystery of human nature. The more she learned the more curious she became.
Why didnt you follow him? Chad asked avoiding her question. He had a feeling he knew which team Evey was on when it came to the two men.
My scanners can only track him when hes in human form. Trevor knows that and wanted to give me the slip. Before he left, he transformed into an owl and flew away, Evey explained.
Chad retrieved the apartment key out of the glove compartment and went back to his car to get his duffel bag. Leaning back against his car, he gazed at Evey liking the car more and more every time he came in contact with her. I guess there isnt too much we can do about it then, is there?
Evey sighed, I guess not.
Chad stood there a moment and took in the slightly dusty appearance of Eveys body and smiled. How would you like a nice bath and waxing?
Evey started humming and Chad nodded, One Sexton bath coming up as soon as I change.
Chad, Evey called as he approached the door.
Chad looked over his shoulder, Yes?
Dont wear a shirt, Evey purred.
Ah, you want the Sexton Sexy Special do you? Chad appeared to think about it then winked at the beautiful car, I think that can be arranged.
Evey continued purring.
*****
Envy walked into Kriss penthouse apartment and immediately sank into the familiar comfort of the sofa. She already missed Devon missed Chad and every time she even started to think about Trevor she wanted to cry. The only reason she wasnt crying was because of the baby it had a calming effect on her. Mix it all together and honestly, she was starting to feel a bit numb.
Dean gave Kriss an odd look but Kriss shook his head, silently telling Dean that hed explain everything later.
This is a first rate mess, Envy said softly and grabbed one of the throw pillows to hug.
Kriss sighed, Its not your fault that any of this happened Envy. Devons just gonna have to get it through his thick skull that he cant attack the father of your baby at random.
Envy lowered her chin to the pillow and hugged it a bit tighter, He he promised he wouldnt attack Trevor.
When? Kriss asked, curious as to why a promise like that had even been made.
After we got back from that vacation with you and Tabby they fought in Chads front yard. After that, I made him promise not to start anything with Trevor because I didnt want to see either one of them hurt. She bit her bottom lip feeling heaviness in her chest. They hadn't hurt each other but she was pretty sure shed hurt both of them enough to make up for that.
Dean frowned, Maybe you should remind your kitty cat of that promise.
Dean, Kriss said warningly.
What? Dean demanded softly. If Santos loves the girl then he should prove it by keeping his word.
Envy exhaled loudly, Dean does have a point Kriss.
Point or not, I dont think this is the proper time to be saying it, Kriss griped.
If not now, then when? I have to start thinking about the little guy, Envy said quietly. I dont think the club would be a good place to raise a child. I mean, it worked for Devon and his family but I dont want to bring my little boy up in a night club.
Of course not, Kriss agreed But what do you want to do, move back in with Chad?
Envy whipped her head back and forth, Oh hell no. Chad has enough to deal with. Last thing he needs is to take on my problems. Besides hes already living with the babys daddy. No, I think until everything settles down, Im just going to pretend Im a single parent.
Another apartment perhaps? Dean offered before Kriss was stupid enough to suggest she stay with them permanently.
Envy shrugged, Its an idea, but I always hoped Id have a home when I finally decided to have children.
Kriss expression immediately perked up, HOUSE HUNTING!
His outburst startled Envy making her snap her head up and blink owlishly at him. House hunting?
Sure, Kriss said. You dont want to be at the club when the baby is born, right? Finding a house and filling it with furniture and baby stuff would be perfect for getting your mind off things.
