Chapter 32: No Turning back

"Pregnant?! what do you mean Jesse, I can't get pregnant!" Judy said more than a little surprise at Jesse's claim

"It makes sense, morning sickness, cramps, and you're producing a scent that has a little bun bun in the oven written all over it." Jesse said crossing her arms.

Judy stood there for a moment and thought about it for a moment before quickly dismissing the thoughts from her mind.

"Jesse, I can't be, the chances are so small that Nick could get me Pregnant, it's practically impossible." Judy protested

"But there's a chance, you two did use protection right?" Jesse said curiously

Judy immediately blushed with embarrassment at the question. "Well...w-we uhh. I mean...."

"Oh my god you didn't" Jesse said wide eyed

"Not exactly, I mean the first time No, and a few times after that we did use one but we figured it was pointless considering it's practically impossible." Judy said now questioning that decision.

"Judy at least admit there's a chance that I'm right." Jesse said

Judy hesitated but was finally able to speak "There's a chance, but I highly doubt it. I promise I'm 99% sure that it's just a sickness. Now I gotta go, Nicks waiting."

Before Jesse could protest her escaping the conversation Judy was out the door and gone. Jesse sat in the bathroom for a moment thinking, she knew what this was, but how she convinced Judy that would be as hard as getting her husband to do the dishes. But one way or another Jesse would convince her.

Silvia had joined the criminal underworld at a very young age. At 17 she began working for a boss at the time known as Mr. Calihand. A boss who was well known in the day for showing no mercy on those who crossed him. But like all good things it came to an early end, he was killed in a house fire caused by bad wiring. When it came time for a successor she was one of three who stepped up to the plate, and she was the one who was left standing. One of the first things you learn when you join this life is never cross someone whose name carries more weight than yours. One of the first bosses she met after joining Mr. Calihand was a young Mr. Big. She had heard stories of him and his lack of hesitation to ice anyone who stood in his way. Even though he employed those predators, which she hated, she knew being on good terms with him was key to survival. She never thought in all her life she'd end up here, on her knees, bleeding, staring into an icy pool of water.

"My dear Silvia, I thought you'd be smarter than this. Mr. Calihand, may he Rest In Peace, would be ashamed of you." Mr big said as he looked down on the doe from his chair that sat on the desk.

Kevin and Ramage had taken Silvia from her home in the middle of the night after taking care of the bodyguards. She hadn't gone without a fight as both bears had bruises from the struggle. But a powerful right hook from Kevin subdued her, with the only damage being a busted lip.

"Mr. Big, please show me mercy." Silvia begged. She knew denying or even lying would only make things worse for her.

"Mercy? Like those innocent predators you infected? No, I need to send a message to all those who dare deal with Night Howlers. ICE HER!" Mr. Big yelled.

Kevin grabbed Silvia by the back of the neck and lifted her up to drop her into the watery grave.

"Wait wait! I have something you need!" Silvia screamed struggling against the bears tight grip.

"There's nothing you have that I want my dear." Mr. Big said watching her struggle.

"IT'S ABOUT HOPPS!!" Silvia yelled as her hoof touched the water.
