I actually thought today was Wednesday until I just checked. I'm at school in English right now, so let's hope I don't get my phone taken away for having it out to update. Sorry.

Bree's P.O.V.

I can't believe myself. Chase tried to come towards me and I lost my mind. Literally. He's my brother and I'll have to be near him all the time. I have to get over this. I'm also pregnant, so I can't be stressed like this. I can hear someone coming in.

"Hey, you okay?" Leo says as he sits down next to me.

"Why did you come down here?" I reply, not looking at him and instead looking at the bottom of my jeans.

"Well, we had a vote and they thought you were least likely to punch me." He answers, and I let out a little laugh. Is it true though.

"Yea. I'm fine. I just... don't know how I am going to do this. I mean deal with this." I say after a minute.

"I don't know either. I will help you out though." Leo replies, and puts his hand on my knee. I finally look up at him. He is lightly smiling. I smile back and he wraps his arms around me. We just sit there for the minute, backs against the wall behind my capsule, and stare off across the lab. Leo's head shoots up as the lab door opens.

"Leo? Bree?" I hear Mr. Davenport yell as his footsteps echo through the lab. I can tell someone else is with him.

"Hey Leo! Did Bree punch you?" Adam yells out then says "Ow!" a second later.

"We're over here." I say, standing up, followed by Leo, who waves goodbye and walks upstairs.

"Good, you're okay." Adam says, hugging me.

"Ow! Ow! OW! I need to breathe!" I try to yell, but it comes out choked because he's squeezing me too hard.

"Sorry." He releases and walks over to his capsule.

"Are you okay to be near Chase? He kind of has to go to sleep in his capsule tonight too." Mr. Davenport says as he sets Adam's capsule to dress him.

"Yea. I'll be fine. Don't worry." I say, giving a fake smile.

"Alright. Just don't stress yourself out," He says as Adam steps out of his capsule.

"Stop worrying. I'm gonna just take a nap." I say and zoom into my capsule. Mr. Davenport goes over to the control panel and changes me into a black tank top and blue and white pj pants. I almost immediately doze off.

Chase's P.O.V.

I feel horrible. Seeing Bree crumple to the ground made me want to cry, so I am. I am laying face-down on the couch, with my head buried in a pillow. Tasha is rubbing my back and trying to get me to take my head out of the pillow. I can hear Leo coming before he is up here.

"How did it go?" Tasha asks him once he gets closer to us.

Before he can say anything, I say, "Is she okay?"

"She's fine Chase." Leo replies, as I lift my head.

"Good." I say.

I didn't realize how tired I was until now and I fall asleep.
