Reapers' Daughter

17: Pies

"Hello?" Who could be calling me at this late hour?

"Pss, it's me, Andrew, can I come over," he said. "Not as a reaper, but as a normal person."

"Andrew it's late," I said. "But fine."

"Good, cause I'm here already," I sat up and there he was standing by my bed.

"What?" I yawned. "Better have a good reason why you woke me up at 2 in the morning."

"Well you had questions from me," he said. "So ask away."

"Andrew I can ask you some other time," I said. "Wait, never mind. Kenny has been hugging you all to himself." Andrew laughed.

"One, why get Kendra pregnant?" I asked.

"She was drunk, and I took advantage," he said. "When I was alive, I was bad. Even in my dying days, I didn't care less if I lived or not. I didn't care about anything or anyone I would pray I would die. And look for my wish. But when I came back, I saw how badly I had hurt my parents. So I decided to give them something from me. So I got the first person I could get my hands on, and that was Kendra. But guess she wasn't appropriate to carry my child. And she killed it."

"Must've had been awful for you," I said.

"Yeah, but she paid the price," he said.

"Wait, you know where she is?" I asked.

"Yeah," Andrew sat on the bed. "She's at home. Her parents are going to send her to get some help."

"Oh," I looked at Ceres asleep in her crib. "At the boat, you were mad, why?"

"Because, Anthony gain, what I wanted," he said. "A child, someone I could call my own. I was jealous okay. I'm sorry for what I said to you, about the whole experiment thing."

"Its fine," I said. "So you go both ways huh."

"Oh yeah," he chuckled. "But I prefer males more. Such as Kenny, when he kissed me, at the store. He caught me in a bad mood; I had learned what Kendra did."

"I see," I smiled. "Well, things turned out well now." I fiddled with my pillow. "Hey, you didn't go into Kenny dream did you. Or something like that?"

"Um," he smiled. "Why you ask?"

"He had his weird dream," I said. "About a hooded man."

"Well," he groaned. "Let's keep this in between us." I nodded. "About what you told me, at the boat. If we could get a male pregnant well, I found out Kenny was born a girl, but later on developed as male."

"Oh right I almost forgot about that," I said. "So Kenny can get pregnant?"

"Yup, he still has his females organs," he said. "Well like the reproduction. From the outside his all male."

"Ewe, don't drool on my bed," I said.

"So yeah, we can have a child," he said.

"That's good, he wants a child," I said.

"Yeah," Andrew smiled. "Oh right, was wondering if you could help me?"

"With?" I asked.

"Making pies," he said. "Jeffrey having a bake sale at school. So mom and I are making pies. But we need lots of help. Kenny is helping to, but another pair of female hands would be great. If you can."

"Sure," I said. "When?"

"Tomorrow we baking some pies," he said. "At around 9 am."

"So you should let me sleep," I said.
