Britanny looked at Stryyp. She wanted to say so many things, but didn't know how to say them. She knew what happened was neitherm her husband's, nor Gar's fault. They were victims. And Britanny hated the idea that she was victimized, had control over her life taken away. She was a married woman, and to think that the child she was baring might possibly not be her husband's was very stressful. She felt as though she had failed in her duties to be loyal to her husband.
His eyes closed, Stryyp thought. He had always tried to be a good and just person. He's been one to never back down to a challenge to his character. When it came to his love for Britanny, he had always been afraid, and when he finally proposed to her, it took the chance that he might lose her to Gar to make him do it. And then there was when he had to leave her before they were to be wed, so that he could go back to his hom planet, to protect his people from the Dynasty. He even almost willingly gave her up when Raphiel appeared, so that the werecheetah race could continue. However, through it all, they had prevailed. But now he wasn't so sure... Even with his powers thanks to the Artifacts, even though he knew this was neither his nor his wife's fault, he still felt as though he failed her...
Both Britanny and Stryyp were then taken out of their line of thought when they heard someone ring the doorbell. (Which happened to be connected outside the door to Britanny's old room.) Britanny nodded her head. She left the living room and went down the spiraling metal staircase, down to her old room, which was now bare of furniture. She opened the door and found Jetta and her family standing outside.
"Jetta, Thabian! What are you two doing here?" Britanny asked, genuinely surprised.
Jetta looked at Britanny. "Gina had contacted us and asked us to come over. We heard the news. While I must admit, the circumstances are quite strange, I have to say congratulations."
Britanny smilied tiredly. "Thank you Jetta." She then motioned for the two to follow her upstairs. She had to wait a moment as Thabian made sure their son Pojo was behind them, and Jetta was carrying their daughter Alera.
Looking up from his hands, Stryyp watched as Britanny came walking back into the living room, followed closely by Jetta, Thabian, and their children. He stood up and walked over to them. "Jetta, Thabian. What a pleasent surprise."
Nodding her head, Jetta said, "I hope you're holding up well."
Stryyp gave a sigh and shrugged his shoulders. "We'll manage."
Jetta almost wanted to cry for Stryyp and Britanny as she watched them, but she herself had been through so much pain, and she was 'srong' in a sense. She could see the couple seemed emotionally drained.
Britanny looked at Jetta and ashed her and Thabian. "Would you two like to have a seat?"
"Yes. Thank you." Jetta said as she said down, sitting Alera down on her lap. Thabian nodded his head and sat down on the couch, placing Pojo between him and Jetta.
Jetta could see these two really need to think about something else, or at least cope with what happened...
"Well, Brianna isn't here one one thing. She's with her fiancee looking for a home."
"Fiancee?"
