Beautiful Disaster

"That requires magic...and magic like that requires me to like them more than I do." Grey glanced at Rebecca as he walked. "Wouldn't it be easier on you if I carried you?" He asked with a tone of concern in his voice.

 

"I fight with them." Grey shrugged and pulled her closer, suddenly lifting her up."Don't complain, you know you wanted it." He said, smiling at her.

 

"I'm being careful." He laughed as well as he continued carrying Rebecca, heading towards the doctor's office. "I'm surprised that...it really seems like the baby will be born in the same amount of time as the average human." He commented.

 

Grey nodded at Rebecca and put her down slowly on her feet as they reached the entrance of the office. "Of course it'll be worth it." He responded, smiling at her. "Now...let's see how the baby's doing."

 

Grey pulled her inside the building. "Come on." He excitedly said, seeing that once again it was empty.

 

"Come in here." The doctor's familiar voice came from the patient's room. Grey looked over at Rebecca and walked towards the room, taking her hand.

 

Grey stopped once they entered the room. The doctor patted his hand against the bed/chair...thing for Rebecca to sit on. Grey looked at her and helped her sit on it without letting her try on her own.

"Looks like the child might be more human than one of.....you." The doctor muttered, sounding disappointed. His tone reminded Grey of someone but he didn't know who. It really gave him an uneasy feeling.

 

"For you, yes." The doctor answered. "The child is healthy and should be coming soon." He paused, now staring hard at Grey. "May I have a word with the father? Alone?" He directed towards Rebecca.

 

As soon as Rebecca left the room, the door suddenly closed and locked itself by an unseen force. "I can't believe you didn't recognize me." The doctor coldly said towards Grey as he stepped closer.

"What're you doing...?" Grey asked as he moved back a bit, clenching his fists. Something's not right...but who is he?

"You don't even recognize one of your own, boy." The air around the doctor wavered as the room grew hotter. "You know how few of us there are around and you do...that with a human. We cannot afford to-"

"Shut up." Grey growled, beginning to lose his temper. "It doesn't matter if she isn't one of us."

 

The doctor swiftly moved forward, grabbing Grey by the neck. "You think you can get away with this sort of thing? You don't even think about the cons-" The doctor was cut off as Grey kicked him in the stomach, forcing him to let go.

"I think I remember you now." Grey rubbed his neck, trying not to cough. "When will the rest of the family be coming to scold me? Assuming they're not afraid I'll kill them first..." He hissed as flames began to appear on his other hand. "Unless you've got something good to say I'm not going to let any of you near my family."

"We are your family." The doctor replied, standing up straight as he fixed his coat. "I'm sure you should remember the name your parents gave you.

"I'm not your family anymore. And the name's Grey now. Not...that." The fire vanished from Grey's hand.
