You're pregnant by who?!

"Oh shit is right," the voice said. "And don't you dare hang up." Mya paused, her thumb being inches away from the red phone symbol on her phone screen.

"I wasn't gonna hang up," Mya lied, holding her phone close enough that only she could hear it. "What do you want?" she asked calmly. 'How the FUCK did she get my number?!' she thought.

"I want to talk," the voice said. What did Stella Goetia want with Mya? Nothing good was all she knew.

"About?" Mya asked.

"You know what about," Stella said, growing frustrated over the phone. "Go to the Pride Ring tomorrow afternoon. There will be a car waiting. Just you, I don't want to see your gross little spawn."

"And if I refuse?" Mya asked.

"It's best if you don't. Trust me, you don't want to get on my even worse side," Stella said. "Pride Ring tomorrow afternoon. Come alone," Stella repeated.

"Okay," Mya said, gingerly accepting this strange invite. As soon as she agreed to it, she heard the line click. She hung up and sat her phone down, before looking down at Silas. "What did I just agree to?" She asked herself. She carefully hugged Silas close and let out a shaky breath. "I won't let anything bad happen to you." Silas cooed and gently hugged Mya's face. "Mama will get this figured out…sooner or later." She continued to hold Silas and looked over at Stolas, who was starting to wake up. Stolas stretched a little, before looking around, noticing that Silas was missing, he began to panic a bit, before seeing Mya. He relaxed a little and smiled at her softly.

"You're back," Stolas said, still sounding sleepy.

"Yeah, I just got back a little bit ago," Mya said, trying to act like the phone call never happened.

"How did the apartment meeting go?" Stolas asked.

"It went well. They need to repaint the place and I have to talk to my landlord about the lease, so I can get everything moved in next month," Mya said. "I just need to give him the security deposit."

"That's great," Stolas said happily.

"Yeah, we'll finally be able to get somewhere more comfortable," Mya said. "I'll need to start boxing things up in a few weeks. Leave out what we'll need, but everything else needs to be boxed up. Would you be able to watch him tomorrow? I need to get some last minute things taken care of."

"Would I be able to spend time with our son, of course I would," Stolas said. "Is that even a question at this point?"

"I guess not," Mya said. "I'll drop him off at 11, because I need to be somewhere by noon tomorrow."

"Okay, I will be here," Stolas said. Silas cooed, teething on his fingers a little, looking up at his parents.

"Thanks," Mya said, cradling Silas.

"Of course," Stolas said, before gently rubbing Silas's head. "He's growing so much."

"He is, I can't believe it's almost been a month already," Mya said, looking down at Silas. Silas looked up at them and smiled, giggling a little. "You're getting so big, bud."

"Do you think since he looks like you that he will gain some of my…abilities?" Stolas asked.

"Abilities?" Mya looked up at him.

"My…demonic abilities," Stolas said, "Like my powers."

"Those are genetic?" Mya asked, looking surprised.

"Yes," Stolas said.

"Oh…well, I'm not sure. Never seen a demon-imp hybrid before," Mya said.

"Well, I guess you have a point. We just have to observe him. It may be possible that he may inherit some of my abilities," Stolas said.
