Nicole POV:

Tyler had looked up at me, with sad eyes, and told me he was sorry.
I told him I hasn't meant for that to happen.
He sighed and pulled me into a hug.
I leaned down further and put my hand on the couch for support so I wouldn't fall onto him.
When I lifted up, my hand slipped and fell onto Craig, who had blushed at the sight of my hand touching his leg, even though it was clearly an accident.
"Uhh.. I..." I blushed and moved my hand quickly.
"I'm sorry, Mini." I said.
My stomach twisted.
"Oh man." I said, grabbing my stomach, cradling it.
Evan looked at me from the corner of his eye.
He stopped.
"Nicole."
I moved my hands immediately.
"What the fuck was that?" he stood up.
I grabbed Luke.
"Uh.."
Shit. I imagined Luke thinking.
"Nicole Lynn Fong."
He said.
Everyone backed up again, and Delirious grabbed his arm.
"Evan. Calm down. It's probably not what you think." Jonathan wrapped his arms around Evan.
"Uh, well... " Luke breathed heavily.

Delirious POV:

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.
Things were going horribly.
I could feel Evan getting redder and redder and sweatier and more warm, engulfed by rage and hate.

Was Nicole actually...?

"Ev." I tried to calm him.
"What?" Evan ignored me and wouldn't stop staring at Cartoonz.

Looks like this is the day my best friend dies...

"Evan." Nicole smiled.
"What?!" he asked.
"I'm pregnant." a tear fell down her cheek.

Shane POV:

Awes and uh ohhs filled the room.
I backed up, remembering Evan's reaction earlier.
But suddenly I saw H2ODelirious lean down as the Canadian had jolted forward, grabbing Cartoonz's neck and was two inches from his face.
"EVAN!" Nicole screamed, running to go over to them, but Issa grabbed her.
"Shh." he said.
Before Jonathan also flew forward, he was caught by Marcel and Mark.
"Let him go!" He said to Evan.
Nicole twisted in Issa's grasp and kicked him, but he didn't let go and she kept screaming.
"EVAN!! LET HIM GO!!!" She stomped her foot.
"Let's take this outside." he said to Luke, grabbing his hand around Luke's arm.
Everyone made their way for Evan, who was now dragging Luke by his shirt.
We got outside onto the patio, and you could hear the thunking of his head hitting the wood on the stairs, step by step.
When they got to the last two or three stairs, I saw Evan throw Luke down them.

Delirious POV:

I understood how he thought.
I screamed as I watch Luke fall and Evan pin him again.
"Listen, I understand..." Luke gasped.
"THEN WHY WOULD YOU KNOCK UP MY BABY SISTER???!!!" He screamed.
"Evan, I didn't mean to!" he yelled back.
"BULLSHIT." Evan pushed him.
I watched, terrifyingly, as Luke pushed back and then took a punch to the stomach.
"EVAN!" I screamed, but Marcel and Mark tightened their grip on me.
"Let me go!" Nicole yelled to my left.
She punched Issa and he released her for a second, just long enough for Kpopp, Matt, and ChilledChaos to grab her, too.
I twisted and kicked Marcel, almost getting out of Markiplier's grasp, but then RacingCatz went up to us, too.
"Evan!" I yelled again.
I saw Nicole dig her nails into Kpopp and Matt, and they immediately released her.
"Just let her go." Chilled said.
Evan turned around and looked at her and let go of Cartoonz for a moment.
"YOU AREN'T EVEN MARRIED, NICOLE!" he yelled.
"YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT, EVAN?!" she yelled back.
I kicked one last time and pushed away from the guys.
They let me go and I stood next to Nicole.
"NICOLE, YOU ARE RUINING YOUR LIFE!! YOU'RE ONLY 22!" he yelled. I could tell he was starting to grow so frustrated he was going to cry.
Poor Evay.
"YOU REALLY THINK I'M RUINING MY LIFE, EVAN?! WHY WOULD YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!" she cried.
"WHAT DO YOU HONESTLY THINK ABOUT THIS?!" he yelled, and motioned to Luke and then her belly.
She cradled it.
I looked at her eyes.
They had turned from the eyes of a childish immature little girl to a mature, perfect, loving mother.
She'd fallen in love with her baby already.
And so had Luke.
I smiled.
"What do I think about this?" she took a breath, but her lip still quivered.
"What I think is that I'm all grown up and now I'm responsible, I have this new life, this baby, growing inside of me... My child, all mine. And I love it Evan, I love it so fucking much." she said, trying to smile, and Evan calmed, putting his hands at his sides, some red draining from his face.
"What I think is that you're an amazing brother, and you'll be an amazing uncle." a tear ran down her cheek.
"And I know Mom wants this, too, I've talked to her. She said she loves you. She said she wants me to stay for the child. She doesn't want me to just watch around, like she will do..
"And lastly, I think of the experience of sitting at home, Christmas morning, with you and Delirious with a child yourselves, just like we have one. And I think that I'm going to be a mommy, and Luke will be a daddy. And you'll be an uncle."
Evan's lip soon quivered, too, and he was soon crying, and walking over to his sister, embracing her.
"I'll always be here for you, Niki." he said.
"I love you, Evan. You're my big brother. You're all I have left of a family. We can't lose each other."
She said.
It was growing dark.
We all headed inside and I clung to Evan as Nicole clung to Luke.

Marilyn POV:

"DELILAH!"
"DELILAH!"
"CALL THE POLICE! HURRY!"
"WITCH!"
"SATAN!"
"SHE SMELLS OF THE DEVIL!"
"EVIL."
"HATEFUL."
"MONSTER."

"PSYCHOPATH."

I screamed and twisted in my bed.
"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!!! " I yelled.
Keegan ran into the room.
"Sister, sister. Marilyn." he said.
"Keegan. Keegan."
I grabbed his hand and pulled him close to me.
I cupped his face in my hands.
"Am I crazy?" I asked, shaking.
He hesitated.
"No. You're just hurt." he said, grabbing my hands.
"Keegan, I hate myself." I whispered.
"D-Marilyn, don't say that." he said.
"Keegan, people aren't normally like this. Are they?" I asked.
He hesitated again.
"Tell the truth. Please." I said.
"No." he admitted.
A tear fell down my cheek.
"Keegan, I'm a failure. I'm so worthless. Mama was ri-"
He shook his head and pulled on my hand.
"No, Marilyn! Mother was never right!" he said.
"Yes she is, Keegan! She is. She said I'm ugly. I'll never ever-" I shook my head back.
"Lily, you're beautiful. You don't see it. Look at you. Your hair is gorgeous. Your body is just the perfect size. Your eyes are the color of cinnamon." he wiped the tears off my cheek with his finger.
"You're just troubled on the inside. After what happened with...
"Him... You've lost confidence. You've lost your knowledge of your beauty." he said.
I smiled and hugged my little brother.
A small voice echoed in my head...
A younger me.

If anything ever gets in my way of protecting you, Aiden...

I will kill.

Ruthlessly, heartlessly,

And carelessly.
