had been throwing up for the last hour. She couldn’t hold anything down. She had a theory, but she was scared to death about the outcome. She reached into her bathroom drawer she had bought a pregnancy test a few months ago. She was on the pill, but she also knew it could fail. Kai had been the man she allowed to go without a condom because she thought she meant something to him.
    “Stupid stupid bitch!” She admonished herself in the mirror. “Time to pay the piper.” She took the test and waited with baited breath. Finally, ‘pregnant.’ She threw the test at the mirror and rushed to her bed collapsing on it in a fit of tears.

Kai
    He pulled into Grace’s clinic, a place he hadn’t been to in years, for a few reasons. His face was stinging and when he looked in the rearview mirror there was a huge welt forming on his cheek. Raiden had clocked him good and it was well deserved. He pulled out his phone wanting to address something that had been said to him while at Raiden’s. “Hello, son, did you deliver it?”
    “Yes, sir,” Kai replied.
    “Good and...?” he pressed.
    “And nothing. I was hit, cursed at, and kicked out. Raiden was visibly upset.”
    “This is good,” his father replied.
    “I have to ask you something.” Kai swallowed. “If this works, can Roy really get us all redemption?” His father remained silent. “Dad?” Kai asked again.
    “Why would you ask such a thing?” his dad snapped.
    “I...was just wondering,” Kai answered.
    “Don’t fucking question me or Roy, boy. So far you don’t deserve redemption!” His father hissed promptly hanging up.
    Kai sighed as he climbed out of the car. Maybe Raiden was right. For now, Kai couldn’t focus on that he needed to focus on his own redemption, and that now entailed finding a way to make things right with Gloria.
    “Kai, I haven’t seen you in here for a while,” Grace said instantly.
    Jordan was staring at him and Kai was surprised to see him at the clinic. “What are you doing here?” Kai questioned.
    “Jordan is working for me. Shall we go to the back?” Grace answered. Kai continued to stare at Jordan and likewise Jordan continued to stare at him. “Jordan, you’re free to go,” Grace addressed which broke the stare down.
    “Are you sure?” Jordan asked looking her way. Grace looked towards Kai and back at Jordan and nodded and with that he left.
    “That’s a nasty bruise you got there under your eye and cheek,” She threw at him as she made her way to the back.
    “Raiden might have hit me,” he chuckled as he entered the exam room.
    “It’s about time.” She smiled at him.
    He shrugged, “I suppose. I...think it helped clear some things.”
    “Really, like what?” Grace asked as she took an ice pack and pressed it to his face.
    “Someone admitted to loving me last night.” He smiled remembering her soft voice.
    “That someone wouldn’t be Gloria Keller would it?” she asked with a cock of her eyebrow.
    “I see you and Bethany still talk.” She nodded. “She’s gorgeous, Grace. I’ve never felt this way about anyone, but...” he paused.
    “But what?” she asked stepping back away from him.
    “She’s human.” Grace turned away and left the room leaving Kai in wonder.
    “Do you love her, Kai Lukas?” she asked stepping back into the room with a folder in her hand.
    Kai nodded, “I do.” She handed over the folder.
    “Don’t read this now, but when you’re ready. Oh, one more thing, Lukas, you and Bethany need to talk in the future.”
    “Yes, Ma’am. I cared about her, but I didn’t love her. I know that now.” Grace gave him a small smile and he left with folder in hand. He ended up at her apartment but he couldn’t bring himself to go inside. His father called a few times, as did Roy, but he didn’t answer. He kept looking at the folder on the passenger seat until the darkness started to fall.
     
    Gloria
    She knew she was in trouble, when she couldn’t get Kai Lukas out of her
