The car ahd come to a screeching halt outside of Hunters, where Kerrigan had quickly pulled an injured Krii from the seat and helped him inside. She had not stopped to talk to anyone, and had breezed through the security precautions. Finally, she got the the infirmary, where she helped him onto a bed. "Stay wiht me Krii...please," she said queitly before looking all around, "GAIL! We have a serious problem here!," she said, loud enough so that she would be able to hear hopefully. She saw Lydia and Reno here as well, though she gave them only a slight glance.

The dream slowly faded as Lydia blinked open her eyes to have a pair of green-gray orbs greet her. Mischief, no longer quite a kitten, was staring into Lydia's eyes as she stood on her mistress' chest. "Hey Mischief..." she said, raising a hand to pet Mischief. Gail, seeing that Lydia was awake, went to go check on the psychic huntress.
"Glad to see you're awake, Lydia. How're you feeling?" Gail asked, a bit concerned.
"I have a slight headache and my body feels pounded, but that is normal when I have over exerted myself." Lydia said in reply. "The nausea is not normal thought."
"Nausea? Well, let's see if we can figure out what's causing that." Gail said, but Lydia was a too out of it to really notice or care what Gail did. The psychic did not even notice when Gail called Will and went to go treat Krii'Ouse.

Will sauntered into the medical facility, looking around for Gail. Noticing Lydia instead, he walked over and smiled gently at her, thankful he'd taken enough time to wash off the blood and change clothes. Reaching out, he gently took her hand in his. "Hey. How you feeling?"

Mischief, now sitting on the bid instead of on Lydia, mewed at Will and rubbed her head against Will's arm. Lydia, still somewhat out of it, turned her head to look at Will. Smiling, she squeezed his hand in a show of affection. "I am okay I guess. I am achy all over, but that is normal. I think Gail did some tests to figure out why I am queasy, but I have been so out of it that I do not know what she did if she did anything at all. How about you?"

When the helicopter had landed, Esou had morphed into Krii'Ouse, Esou's pain threshold had been breached, so now Krii'Ouse was back. Things were made easier for Merrigan because of that.
When they reached the Infirmary, he finally opened his eyes. The movement had caused the former wounds to stay open, and the silver nitrate was still slowly flowing through his veins.
When Kerri called for Gail, she had finished her duties with Lydia, and had just called Will. Now she came in, worried. 'Oh my God!' she said aloud. 'Is he okay?! Sethe!' She hurried over to him as she spoke, pulling out instruments. 'Are the bullets still in there?'
'N...nnnn...' Sethe tried to reply.
'Okay... So all I'll have to do is draw out the silver... Same thing we did to you, kerrigan. You'll have to leave the room for me to do it.' she said, looking to Kerrigan, knowing she'd say no, anyways.
'Nnn.....' Sethe replied for her. 'Kk... K... Ker...' He closed his eyes again. Quickly, Gail set up a heart moniter, and hastily got an IV ready for after the silver was removed.

Will smiled down at Lydia and held her hand gently as he scratched behind Michief's ears with his other hand, drawing a loud purr from the kitten. "I'm fine, Lyd. We got off of the roof no problem. Krii'Ouse got shot with some silver nitrate bullets, but Gail's working on him right now. Now you try to get a bit of rest and I'll talk to Gail, alright?"
Giving her hand a little squeeze, Will backed off and went looking for Gail. He still wasn't certain of his relationship with Lydia, he'd never had one that was less sure but more profound before. Their relationship's future was unclear, but he'd just take it one day at a time.
After several minutes he found Gail exiting the operating theater where Krii'Ouse was located. Walking up to her, he noticed her staring at a sheet of paper. "So how is he, doc?"
Gail looked up, startled, before giving him a funny look. Will was starting to feel slightly uneasy at her expressions. Gail was usually as cool as a cucumber. What could shake her enough to make it visible but without being a major crisis? Well, he'd soon find out.
"Well Will, whatever you did repaired most of the damage and kept him from going into shock. I was able to pump out the rest of the silver and stitch his wounds. So with his lycan healing, he'll be back on his feet in a couple of days, if not sooner. You don't have to worry about him. Frankly, I think you need to start worrying about Lydia."
Relief turned to concern in an instant. "Why? Gail, is she sick?"
There was an amused look on Gail's face, and Will had the impression that she was about to lay a bombshell down on him. "You could say that, William. I'll be relying on you to make sure she gets plenty to eat and doesn't exert herself overly much while we wait for the symptoms to pass. But it will affect her for the rest of her life. Your's too, I imagine."
The suspense was killing him as surely as a bullet would. What was amusing about Lydia being sick? What wasn't Gail saying? Why these strange hints? "Damnit Gail! Just come out with it and tell me! What's wrong with Lydia?!"
"Pregnancy."
Silence filled the corridor for a long moment before Will, staring dead eyed at Gail with his mouth gaping open, squeaked. "What?"
Gail smiled broadly, a twinkle in her eyes. "Pregnant, William! Nothing too unusual was showing up on the other tests, so I ran her blood and other samples through every other test I could possibly think of. Imagine my surprise when the pregnancy test came back positive! Normally it takes longer to get results back, but thanks to those Cray computers Alex 'accquired' a while back we had the results in under an hour. And if rumors are to be believed, then I should say congratulations... daddy. Now then, I recommend that... William? William, are you listening to me?"
Will just couldn't move or think. Vampires, lycans, demons, insane fanatics he could handle. But Lydia? PREGNANT? And he's the father?! Such information simply could not compute. As he fell backwards and darkness clouded his vision, he contemplated how ironic it was that the big bad Hunter leader was fainting in the middle of the hall. The last thing he heard was Gail's exclamation of surprise and a call for smelling salts. Good, he had a feeling he'd be needing a lot of them in the near future.

Reno was just around the corner hearing what Will and Gail had been talking about. He was in utter shock.'Damn man, I guess Will hasnt heard of somthin called a rubber before. All hell's gonna break loose when the others hear about this. I wonder how his sis will take it?' Reno then walked into the room wanting so badly to laugh his a** off at the fainted Will."Well well well......how the mighty have fallen......literaly."

Lydia smiled back at Will when he left, and closed her eyes to rest a bit. Mischeif, still purring from Will's scratch, curled up on Lydia stomach, not willing to part with her mistress after being away from her for so long. Mischeif's once kitten-blue eyes were now a soft green gray and Lydia marveled at the change.
You are no longer the kitten I met in the streets of New York, are you? Lydia thought to the kitten with some amusement.
No. Growing up. Mischief managed to say in reply. The psychic was not at all surprised about that.
I am so sorry I was away for so long, little one. If I could, I would have stayed with you.
I know. Rest now. Soon have other little one to look after.
Lydia nodded, wrapping her arms around the kitten. Not really comprehending what she had heard from Mischief or from Gail and Will, the psychic drifted off into a light sleep. Mischief wiggled out of Lydia's grasp and jumped down to the floor to trot over to Gail and Will.
Jumping onto Will's chest, the kitten put her wet, cold nose to his in the hopes that it would wake him up. Now not time to sleep. Mistress needs looking after. The black-furred kitten tried to tell Will. Other little one need looking after.

She looked over at Gail, growling lowly as she asked the huntress to leave. She knew that she could not leave his side no matter how tired she herself was. She was so tired that she even bared ehr fangs at Gail for a moment, speaking rather harshly, "Yea right Gail, Im not going anywhere." shaking ehr head, however, she quickly apologized, focussing ehr attention back to Krii as he tried to say her name. "Its alright...Im here. Its going to be ok soon, i promise. Im not going anywhere." She gave his hand a squeeze as if to solidify the point, looking over to Gail as she waited for her t begin the procedure. She couldnt remember much abut it in way of what it felt like, so all she could do was reassure him.

Krii'Ouse felt a squeezing warmth on his hand. Stretching out his mind slowly, he felt Gail on his right, and Kerrigan on his left. His face pulled tighter with a smile, and he moved his head in the direction of Kerrigan, his eyes still closed. 'Th...ththththh...aaank...' he breathed, 'You...'
Gail moved over to the table, and retrieved the small magnetic-like device, turned it on. 'You may want to remove any jewelry of his, and yours for that matter, before I start the actual procedure.' she said, looking to Kerrigan.
Krii'Ouse had three necklaces on, and all of his jade rings; his earrings were in as well.

Sady walked in and saw Will on the floor coming too. She picked up Mischief, and offered a hand to Will.
It's a little cold down there don't you think?

As if she didn't already have a million things on her mind when she saw Will sprawled on the floor. Eden went into instant panic mode. "What the hell happened!? What's the matter with Will!?" She was at his side in intstants, panting from her hyperventalation.

Eden looked to Reno, her eyes even wider. "WHAT!?" She was even more frantic than before. Her mind was not thinking clearly and she franticly paced - it was amazing she managed not to collide into a wall. Hyperveltalation times two now.
Her breathing was amazingly fast and her heart pounded so hard that people could hear it if they listened closely. Suddenly out of nowhere she shouted, "With who!?" Her mind wasn't working because if she had been calm then she would have been able to work it out, but it was impossible for her to do such a thing at the moment.

Reno put his arms around her trying to keep her calm."Easy easy, stay calm. According to Gail its him and Lydia." he put his hand on her head."Heay maybe you should get some rest. Youve been through hell and you dont need any more stress on your back."
