"I didn't mean for you to find out... like this, I mean." Kevin admitted with a sigh, following Kori. "It's just... I really like what we've got going on, I didn't want you to be scared of me and risk losing you.... I love you. Believe me, I do." The incubus admitted, taking Kori's hand in his and gently stroking it.
Whatever had happened, he was still mad at Liam for his lack of self control. "Liam had no right of exposing us like that..." He muttered, more to himself than for Kori to hear, but he knew she'd heard him nonetheless. " I meant to tell you when the right time came..." He reassured, then sighed once more. "What was that all about, anyway? Is Nana sick? Is it serious?" Despite everything, he knew how Liam cared about the mortal girl and how pissed off he'd be if anything happened to her.
In the meantime, Lucy returned to her boyfriend. "Those two are incorrigible... well, at least now they'll know. I felt bad for not telling the girls about those two." The princess of Hell admitted, taking a sip of her drink.
A little while later, Liam and Nana arrived at her place. After helping her lay down on the couch, he made her some tea and sat beside her. "How are you feeling, beautiful?" The demon asked, fingers running through the girl's dark hair.
"I'm better now, love. Thank you." She smiled, sitting up and taking a sip of tea. "But uh... there's something I really need to tell you..."
"Of course, anything. I was really worried about you..." Blue eyes staring into her dark ones, he awaited what she had to tell him.
"So... uh... I'm... we... we're going to have a baby." She tried to choose the best words, then let out a soft, nervous giggle. But the only response she got was a blink, then silence. Silence that went on for too long, until she decided to break it. "Liam? Aren't you going to say anything?"
But he didn't know what to say or how to feel about this. Becoming a father had never been a possibility for him, he never even thought he could actually impregnate a mortal woman.
"I... you can't be. I can't... it's not possible." He mumbled, trying to make some sense of what she'd told him.
"I am... I took a test. Look..." She reached into her purse, grabbing the positive pregnancy test and handing it to Liam. "Two lines equals baby."
"It's not even a baby...." He muttered to himself, fingers running through his dark hair, but Nana heard him nonetheless and it hurt her feelings.
"Fine, call it a fetus then. It's still ours..." She frowned, instinctively placing her hand on her belly.
"That's not what I... you don't understand..." He sighed, getting up and starting to pace back and forth in the living room, rubbing his neck. He dreaded this moment. "Look, I'm not exactly who you think I am... I'm not... human, Nana."
Now it was her turn to stay silent, dark eyes widening in disbelief. "What do you mean..."
"This, I mean this." He sat down beside her and placed his fingers on her temples. Only then, she saw his true form - dark red eyes, sharp teeth, pale grey skin, long dark curved horns. Things she'd ever only seen in horror movies, which were actually some of her favourites. And yet his features were still Liam's, and his touch on her skin still felt the same. Maybe because of that she didn't flinch, she just kept looking into his now glowing red eyes, until he removed his hands and his eyes were blue again, his human features as they had always been. "That is how I really am, Nana. I'm a demon, of the incubus kind. I feed off vital energy, obtained mostly though sex. I've done and seen terrible things. I'm a despicable being and that thing inside you will be just like me. You must get rid of it."
She frowned. The Liam she'd known was good and kind. "Don't say that... I love you. And I already love our baby, no matter what he or she is. They'll be so loved and raised well." She reassured with a smile, gently caressing her own belly.
"I don't even know how to be a father... I never had one... and even if I did want to be one, it's not possible. Not with you..." He started, but a now angry Nana interrupted him.
"Not with me? Why? Because it won't be a pure breed demon, is that it? Or is it because you don't even love me?" She fought back the tears forming in her eyes.
"It's exactly because I love you, woman!" He retorted, visibly distressed. "That thing will kill you! It will feed off your energy too. That's why you're always sick, now I understand. I can't and I won't lose you. That thing must go."
"Stop calling our child that thing..." Nana pleaded. "It is our baby, it was made with love and I'd never forgive myself... I will be a good mother, and if I must die so our kid can live, so be it." Tears rolled down her face, but she was decided.
"You can't..." Liam groaned. "I won't stick around to watch you die." He stormed out, slamming the door behind him and leaving an incredulous, heartbroken Nana behind.
