A second set of knocks proceeded, this time more slowly. A low voice came from the other side, and Lyla froze. “Hey, Lyla, I thought you should know, in nine months, you’re mine again,” Clark growled from the other side of the door. Lyla grabbed her bra and underwear and pulled them on as she crossed her room in haste. She pulled the door open, not caring if Clark saw her naked since he already had.

“What are you talking about,” Lyla screamed at him, “you wore a condom, I saw you throw it away!” A devilish grin spread across Clark’s face, and Lyla’s turned white. She thought back to that night, and thoughts ran through her head about what he could have done to the condom beforehand. Her blood ran cold, and she stumbled back into the room, nearly fainting Alex, who had just gotten his clothes back on during their conversation caught her.

“Tell her, what are you talking about,” Alex snarled at Clark.

“Oh, I thought she should know that there were ‘holes’ in the condom that I wore. Which means, she could get pregnant, but who knows, we shall see,” he shrugged, then an officer appeared from down the hallway to take Clark away. His maniacal laughter trailed all the way through the house until the door shut behind them, then they were met with silence and uncertainty.

Lyla’s breaths got shallow and rapid, panic engulfing her body as everything ran through her mind. Alex sat down beside her and stroked her hair trying to comfort her, but Lyla pushed him away and began pacing her room. She wanted nothing more than to belong to Alex, to be with him, and if the time came, have children with him, but she wanted them to be his children and not Clark’s. She began spiraling, so she called her mother and told her what had been going on since they got home, then the line ended; her mother had hung up and was rushing back to the house.

A few minutes passed when her mother returned home, “I called your father and he’s on his way here,” the two went downstairs and she took Lyla into her arms, and the panic subsided.

Lyla whispered to her mother, “it’s too soon to take a test, it hasn’t even been a week,” her mother could see the panic in her eyes, and she could see her hands shaking as she walked around the living room.

Alex then walked over to Lyla’s mother, and whispered something about Clark, to which she nodded in confirmation. Then Alan, Lyla’s father burst through the door, no longer worried about knocking. He crossed the room and took Lyla into a hug and sobbed, “Lyla, I’m so sorry, this is all my fault, I should’ve taken this more seriously than I had,” tears fell on Lyla and she pulled away. Not wanting the remorse from her father she went and stood by Alex who pulled an arm around her waist. Jaxon, Alan’s fling, crossed between Lyla and her mother and stopped by Alan and put a hand on his shoulder, trying to be a comfort.

Alex then disappeared out of the house since he knew Lyla had people there to comfort her. He walked over to Clark’s house, which he learned was unlocked, and slipped inside to do some investigating. He started searching all the rooms, and all the trash cans in those rooms for any used condoms, but to his disliking every trash can had a condom in it, that was just opened and disposed of, so he blew them up and sure enough every single one had holes in them.

When he made it to the playroom, the entire room was covered in condoms, glow in the dark ones, neon ones, ribbed ones, and so on. His skin began crawling when he thought back to how he had taken Lyla in there, and how Clark was trying to make a game out of this. He still searched the condoms to see if they were filled with anything and luckily none of them were. He then went to the last room that he had hoped he didn’t have to enter, and when he entered, the bed had been covered in baby pamphlets and pregnancy brochures - as well as condoms everywhere.

The first place Alex looked was in the trash can that was in that room and it was filled to the brim with all the wrappers that Clark must have used to decorate his house with. At the very bottom though, was the condom that had been used, and so he didn’t have to blow it up, he took it into the restroom and tied it to the faucet and turned that water on. The balloon swelled and when it became full enough Alex took it off the faucet and held it out over the floor, and of course like all the other condoms he had found that day, it had holes in it as well.

In his anger he threw all the papers on the bed around the room and began pulling things down. He made sure not to break anything so he wouldn’t be charged with anything, but he wanted Clark to come home and have to clean everything up himself, so he made it very inconvenient. He then left Clark’s house and walked back over to Lyla’s, and everyone was still sitting in the living room.

Lyla had actually let her father come close to her and put his hand over her; Alex almost found the site warming except he remembered Lyla wasn’t very fond of her father. They all turned around at the sound of the front door shutting behind Alex, “oh thank the gods you’re back! Did you find anything over there,” Lyla’s mother gasped at him. He held up the used condom that was still dripping from the water. He kept his hand underneath it so it wouldn’t drip on anything.

Lyla’s mother revealed a plastic bag from behind her and held it open for Alex. He placed the evidence inside the bag, then ran to the kitchen to disinfect his hands and his mouth. He didn’t like the taste of soap, but he also didn’t like the taste of condoms and he wasn’t completely sure that they were entirely clean. Alex came and joined everyone in the living room, and sat behind Lyla; he rubbed her back to bring her comfort.

Lyla leaned into Alex while her parents talked to one another, then she heard her father bring up that he should fire Clark, and Lyla sat up, “you can’t fire him, because if I’m pregnant and it’s his baby then he’s going to need a job to support us, like you do with mom and I,” she spit at him, still angry that it was his subordinate that did this to her.

Clark was only slightly content because Lyla had mentioned that it might not be Clark’s baby, which meant that it could have been his instead, and the fact that she wasn’t nervous about that made him floored with happiness. He subtly placed small kisses on top of Lyla’s head so that she could concentrate on the conversations that were happening in front of her.
