"Okay. I might go somewhere, I might not. Just a heads-up." Wolf also remembered Julian and Izzy, the memories made him smile. Then he thought of something, and he was surprised he never noticed it before. Is it me or does it seem that Julian and Prime seem to be the most motherly/fatherly figure I've spent alot of time with? Sure Leelan was nice, but she was more, well, sisterly. Strange. Wolf put more thought into that question, as more memories refloated to the surface of his brain.

Meredith boldly walked into the city, absolutely confident that no matter what Ceon wasn't going to walk all over her. Maybe he was a wolf and wolves had the males as the leaders but she wasn't a wolf and she wasn't going to follow suit simply because she was having his kid. Screw him, she didn't need him to raise their kid. Of course she would let him visit and see his kid but that didn't mean that they had to have a relationship and she could hardly see anything happening between them when he had temper tantrums all the time and couldn't even control his lycan form after four hundred some years of existence. It was absolutely pathetic!
So instead of talking to Ceon she decided that she was going to resume her nice evening stroll by herself since the rest of the world could go f**k itself for all she cared. She was going to be a mom but until that time came she could still go out and do the things she wanted to. Maybe patrolling and kicking something's a** would make her feel better.
Meredith looked down to her stomach and seemingly started talking to it though she knew the baby wasn't anywhere near far enough along to hear her.
"You gonna be a hunter like mommy? You wanna come hunting with mommy because your dad's an a** hole and can't even control his temper after how many years of being a lycan?"
She couldn't help but smile. She knew she looked stupid and that she was being stupid but hey, why not have a little fun with it, after all, there was no running from the fact that she was going to be a f**gin' mom. No one could run from that.

"You know ... you're going to be one f**ked up kid when you're older, right? I don't know how to be a mommy, kid and your daddy clearly has anger management issues so we're going to be fail-at-life parents. I'm really sorry this happened but hey ... I guess we'll just have to make the best of it because I can't just ... you know ... you deserve to live and I'll try to give you as good a life as I can. Keep it gushy but ... that might mean that I'll have to retire ... not that Sethe or William are here to care anyhow! Oh well! Wait ... this isn't like me to think ahead to the future! Ugh! You're making me grow up too fast, kid, I'll tell you that!"
As she was walking along she was amazed to find a vampire actually attempting to kill someone in an ally so she decided it was high time she got back down to business and did her job properly. She was already geared up and ready to kick something's a** anyhow and that was when her battle axe came handy.
"Hey a** wipe. Don't you know the press is out to get you? One wrong move and you're more burnt than the toast in my old toaster that never dinged when it was finished toasting."
Cheesy. Just the way she liked it. Of course, now that the vampire's attention was on her it sprang toward her like a blood frenzied idiot. Of course she wasn't going to make it quite that easy and though she wasn't as fast as the vampire, her reflexes were honed to perfection and by the time the vampire reached her it had Meredith's gloved first in her face, the steel knuckle caps of the glove digging into the vampire's face. Ouch!
That wasn't it, though, of course the vampire had to try to take a cheap shot. It's blood red eyes stared through Meredith's purple aviators and into her mind as it seemed to tremble with insanity. "You've got," it said as it practically salivated, "three lives in one ... how utterly ..." The vampire's head lashed back violently with the force equivalent to ... well, a bullet being fired into it's brain.
Meredith's magnum was warm seeing as the trigger had just been pulled at point blank range at the vampire. The bullet had entered directly through the fore head and had exited through the back of the head seeing as she'd used a regular bullet. However, she hadn't been meaning to kill the vampire with the gun and soon her battle axe followed through with the gun's hit and finished the work, the vampire's head falling to the ground. Next she brought out a match and dropped it atop the corpse which ignited as if gasoline had been poured on it and just like that there was nothing left but a scorch on the earth and a very troubled human fleeing the scene.
"What? I just saved your sorry arse."

Ceon found Meredith easy to track, not from her easily recognizable scent, but from her unforgettable shouting. He chuckled as he rounded the corner of the building into the alley. Ceon placed a hand on the hand that held out the gun. "Come on, Meredith. We don't want the police snooping around here."

Meredith turned around, a smug grin on her face as she pulled out her other gun, held it to Ceon's forehead and pulled the trigger. There was an anticlimatic click followed by Eden's voice smugly stating, "Boom. Headshot. You should really be more careful. Just because you're a lycan doesn't mean I can't put a bullet through your face and chop off your head an instant later. I've definitely done it before so you wouldn't be the first and you probably wouldn't be the last either. Lucky for you ..." She shook her empty gun, "I've got a sense of humour."
She then decided to see why he was there in the first place since she'd ditched him the other day and had left him to destroy his apartment. "So are you done having your temper tantrum and ripping your apartment to shreds? Jeez. I could say something that'd be a really low blow but I'm nice enough that I'll keep my thoughts to myself. I'm a thoughtful person that jabbers on and on as opposed to one of those mindless jabbering people. Now what do you want? And I don't care if the police nose about, they're on my side because I hunt you guys so I've got nothing to worry about."

Ceon smiled as the hollow pistol made an empty click. "You aren't the first to put a gun to my head. And you won't be the last. Besides, I don't worry about you trying to kill me. You said yourself that I'll need to take care of the kid if you stay human." Ceon pushed her hand down slow and walked close to her, "Yes, I'm done my tantrum. I had to take m anger out on something since I can't run free in the park anymore. Besides, I think it'd be best if the child lived with its mom and dad at the same time in the same place."

"Why am I not surprised in the slightest? And it's not the whole you've been alive for tons of years thing it's the you're really confrontational and probably piss a lot of people off. As for ze babeh I think it'd be healthiest for the child to be in a calm, relaxed environment where it can learn and whatnot. It doesn't need to see the two of us fighting and bickering and the kid will end up being perfectly fine if we don't live together. Besides, I don't want to live with someone that destroys my house everytime they don't get their way or every time I say something they don't like and I'm pretty sure I don't want my kid to be alone in an environment like that for long either. What the hell is your problem anyhow? Go take some f**king anger management classes."

"I've been working on my anger for some time, and it was going well until the humans found out about the races. I can't keep calm as well as I could back then because of it. And I think you were the one pointing a gun at my head." Ceon pulled his jacket tight and hugged it close to his body as the cold night air blew through the alley.

"Of course I was the point who pointed a gun at your head. I left your house, walked out on you because you were throwing a temper tantrum and just because you say you're finished your temper tantrum doesn't necessarily mean you have. Maybe you're one of those abusive drunk guys that always says sorry when he f**ks up but never does s**t to fix his problems or make his life better. You're the one who followed me after freaking out so yeah, I'm gonna point a gun at your head to make sure you don't start freaking out on me. What do you expect me to do? Hug you and say you're the cuddliest wittle wycan I've ever met after you ripped your apartment to shreds?"
She didn't even know why she was standing here talking to him about any of this. The bottom line was that if he had anger problems that were that bad then she definitely didn't trust him to raise a kid with her. She didn't want her kid picking up on his bad habits and ways of dealing with anger, she didn't want an angry child. Of course she wanted her kid to have a father and to know it's real father so she'd never throw Ceon out of the picture. However, she'd definitely keep an eye on his mannerisms when he was around their kid. He was a stranger to her for the most part so yeah, she wasn't going to trust him on some whim.

"No, I'm not one of those abusive drunks. Lycans don't need alcohol. And if I wasn't through with my temper then I'd still be a lycan. And no, I'd rather prefer you don't do that. Actually, I'd like to know if you would have dinner with me tonight."

"People don't need alcohol either, thank you very much! That was the first time I've ever been drunk and it's turned into like ... one of many huge mistakes I've made in my life. Ugh."
She held one hand to her heart and one hand in the air as if she was taking an oath and recited, "I, Meredith Emily Jackson shall never drink again so long as I live! Besides, I don't need this kid getting fedal alcohol syndrome anyhow because that is definitely something that could be worse than having a kid. Me having a kid that I ruined in the womb!"
When Ceon asked her if she wanted to go out for dinner she wasn't sure whether to be pissed off and offended by his arrogance or burst out laughing in his face so she did neither and stood there dumbstruck. She hadn't actually heard an almost polite thing come out of that wolf's mouth had she? "Excuse me?"

Veroen had silently been sitting atop of a building for quite some time now. He had been staying in a hotel room for a couple of days it seemed since Meredith gave im her number on a piece of paper. He had kept it in a pocket in his trench coat. Now, since it was in the evening, Veroen was silently sitting atop a building, still as stone, not unlike a gargoyle.
His concentration was broken once he heard Meredith and Ceons voices in the streets below, across the street from Veroen's position. He silently tuned out all other sounds, listening to their conversation out of slight curiosity.

Ceon smiled and nodded, "I said, do you want to go to dinner with me? You think I'm such a bad person, let me show you different. Believe it or not I used to live quite well. Big house, sophisticated music, stuff only rich people would be caught dead having. Please, give me this chance to show you I'm not the drunken monster that got you pregnant."

"I don't know. Went to talk with you yesterday and you end up freaking out and tearing your place apart. Went to a bar with you and ended up getting drunk and getting pregnant. Hm ... I might have to think this one over for a bit and weigh the pros and cons of what could happen. Do you have table manners? Just because you were rich at some point doesn't really mean anything other than you were a rich guy however long ago ..."

Nicholas couldn't believe his eyes. There he'd been, resting in his little cardboard box at the end of the alley, and all of a sudden he was thrown right back into the drama. He wasn't having any of it this time, instead he raised his voice slightly and said "Do you mind taking your pathetic attempt at flirting somewhere else, mate? Some homeless tramps are trying to get some frikking sleep". He rolled his eyes as Ceon ended his tale of riches and wonders and snorted loudly, "Just because you used to own a big house and had poncy rich man stuff doesn't mean you're any better than people at my level of the food chain. I used to be a manager at a big company, that doesn't mean I'm not a tobacco craving vagrant". He knew he was spoiling the moment a bit, but he figured being a Vampire gave him the chance to be the complete wanker arse-hole he never had the courage to be as a human. He ran his hand through his hair, and dragged himself to his feet. "Aren't you the imposing person who dragged me up from the remains of a bin? This city is a lot bloody smaller than I expected".
