Small streams of light sliped through the gaps of the rotten moss covered wood. The air was thick with decay…mold…animals…humans…blood. The sound of nails and chains scratched along the wooden planks beneath his feet. The shack was narrow but long…the streams of light stopped abruptly…leaving a bright line separating from the opaque shadows lying ahead. He bent down at the edge of the light and drew his finger along the blackened floor ahead. Taking his hand up it was red with thick blood…as if it were painted along the ground.

His instincts told him that he should step back outside and wait for backup. However, his natural impulse…wasn’t quite keen on listening. He stepped into the darkness…however with each step he suddenly could hear Blair’s voice in his head chastising him for taking such a risk. Normally he didn’t allow thoughts of Blair to distract him when he was on hunt. He was able to keep his mind clear. He wasn’t sure if it was because this was the first hunt that he had to go on since she had returned…or if it was the recent realization that he actually was going to be a married man in only months.

Either way , now wasn’t the time for it. He slipped his gun out of the holster as he moved further into the darkness. Listening to the creaking of the wind against the wood he moved forward. Looking for the target. However, before he knew it something had gone wrong. A gunshot shifted through the darkness barely missing him. He turned around to see another hunter slipping in behind him. He motioned for the man to back off but he didn’t notice or didn’t care. However, the next few moments the shadows came alive and a dark demonic creature charged out at both of them. Oh Hell! Dammit! Nathan ran back retreating with his weapons firing into the deep darkness moving at him. Taking the creature head on that way was night impossible.

The other hunter fell behind was soon torn to shreds by the angered creature…leaving tar like blood in his trail from the gun wounds that he had taken. Nathan continued firing as he ran…each shot making a hit into the forehead of the creature…more black blood tarry draining from the wound. The creature was soon on top of Nathan…it’s claws coming down on his arm…burning him with a searing pain. With that he took a machete from his belt and caught it under the creatures chin…the head sloughing off to the ground. Nathan blacked out from the pain of the venom that was flowing into his blood.

After a few moment of unconsciousness he slipped himself to his feet…and started towards his car. He didn’t have time for this…he needed to get home for dinner with Blair. He hated it when things became complicated. He grabbed his phone from his dash and made a call to the office before dropping the phone. When his coworkers arrived they rushed him to the witch for healing and an antidote. He was supposed to spend the night under the care of the guild’s physicians, however, he had no intention of being any later to meet with Blair. He grabbed two of the potions that the nurse had left on the table and chugged them down. He then slipped on a new clean shirt in his car before driving home. The man was on the edge of consciousness but he made it to the door and unlocked it…putting on his best face for Blair…the last thing he needed was for her to be worried about anything. AS he opened the door he looked around a bit…it was quiet…but he assumed that she should have been home. “ Babe?” He muttered trying his best not to show any of the strain that he was feeling in his voice. He’d just tell her that it was a long work night…things ran late…and make sure not to let her see the rather large half healed slash down his arm and shoulder before he finished healing up from the potions.

It has been awhile since Blair hunted, her visit to take care of her sick father halted that. But she slowly got back in the game hunting little by little, starting from weak ghosts to eventually a nasty demon. One that led her to a very shocking conclusion. That is why she was sitting in the doctors office waiting.... Her hands tapping the counter nervously.

When the doctor gave her the news she stood frozen. It was unexpected, she wasn't sure on how Nathan would feel about it. He loved hunting and she knew that he would never give that up. But everything would be okay right? She tried her best to be excited for the doctor and listened to his instructions. Everything would be different because she was pregnant. It was weird how she first caught onto it. The demon she was hunting let her know that she was carrying a child.

After that Blair couldn't kill her, the demon didn't come after her. So they both just ran their separate ways. She left the doctor's will all the information she needed. Blair was to get off her Bi polar medication immediately because it was harmful to the baby. The drive to the store filled her head with questions. The most important was how she was going to tell Nathan.

She decided after looking around that she was going to cook a fancy meal for him and give him a card she found. After getting back home and getting dressed up all fancy. The ghost whisperer cooked for an hour and a half, she wanted it to be special. He was supposed to be home, it was their night to cuddle and watch movies. But the later it got the more sadness she felt. He didn't even call or leave an text. Her night was filled with crying on the couch. Once it struck two am, she gave up and left his dinner plate out with card thrown carelessly on the table. Blair just curled up in bed in her nice dress and and her tears soothed her to sleep.

The night had taken a pretty negative turn. He was blindsided by a demon due to the stupidity of some amateur hunter who didn’t know what the hell he was doing. The job was supposed to be over much faster than it was, and he wasn’t supposed to get injured. He definitely wasn’t supposed to end up unconscious However; things didn’t always turn out the way that you wanted them to, especially not with a job like this. He didn’t really give the medication time to heal him …he didn’t have time for that crap. He wasn’t a baby…and he needed to get back home. The last thing he needed was Blair worried. Not to mention that he had a tendency of worrying about her since she had it in her blood to run about hunting. He’ d honestly preferred if she would just stick to being a medium and leave the demons alone. There was no arguing with the woman though…though that had to be one of the things he loved about her.


He walked in and took note of the nicely set table…it seemed a bit obvious what had happened. It made him feel even worse without the pain from the injuries he was still carrying with him. Nathan walked into her room and kissed her on the cheek. He could taste the salt from the tears on her face. He whispered softly. “ I’m sorry Blair.” He truly was. Knowing that she’d been crying was enough to break the hardened hunter’s heart. So the woman made him a bit of a sap…everyone had their weakness. She as his. He didn’t really want to tell her that he’d gotten into trouble was the reason that he’d run late, because it would worry her. However, not telling her anything might just bother her more. “ I lost track of time at work babe. “Hopefully she’d understand right? He’d told her that his work was chaos…that there was no real way to predict what would happen or when he’d be able to get home. She knew there was more involved than just paperwork…heck she knew that he was a hunter.

They both were to some extent… He just didn’t give her the minute details. He’d told her enough times and explained that this was his life and it was a part that he couldn’t really share with her. What was worse he hadn’t even noticed the card on the table. The hint that would have let him know what had left the woman broken hearted that night. He just slipped his good arm around her and hoped that she wouldn’t question him too much…because telling her that information was classified when she was emotional was like shooting a lioness guarding her cubs with rubber bullets. Though part of him felt as if he’d deserve whatever mauling

Blair had been frustrated for a long time with Nathan, it was no secret hunting runs his life. They still had a lot to work out with each other. They needed to find a middle ground or their relationship would end badly. He has left her once it was a fear that he would do it again. The pain of the day was awful and it was still in her memory. But today has changed things, they had some innocent child to think about. She was scared, Blair stopped taking her medication immediately. Scheduled an appointment with her Doctor. It was going to be a rough time without her lithium but it was damaging to the baby.

After crying for a bit she just left the food on the table and laid in bed. She eventually fell asleep she was tired and emotional. Blair didn't know what time Nathan had come in. It was probably better she didn't know. She had felt something touch her cheek, she did wake up a bit. But his words stirred her more. Blair could tell he was sorry but the damage has been done. If it was a one time thing it really didn't matter. However continuous stuff rubbed her the wrong way. Her eyes opened and she looked at him, "Nathan, I love you but jesus you severely P*ss me off. I get the occassionaly lateness that is fine but the continuous Sh*t rubs me the wrong way."

Blair sighed and sat up, " I told you this was a very important time. I'm guessing you didn't pay attention downstairs. Which is whatever. I put time and effort into things and you put me off to the side. It would be nice if you focused some time on me. I've been very flexible with you and it would be nice if you gave some of your time towards me. The world won't end if you come home on a very important end. "

She covered herself with the blanket and laid back down, "Go look down stairs and appreciate the fact I did not unleash the Texas Tornado on you. I love you and I'm glad you made it back."

Blair was impressed with the fact she didn't rip his heart out. She didn't want to yell it was too D*mn early for that. Plus they didn't need to have an argument right now, stress and anger were bad for the baby.

Things were simpler when it was just himself. No one could say he was particularly happy as a bachelor…neither was he unhappy. He was essentially neutral. All that he did was work. There was no room for anything else. The only problem was that after he met Blair…there was no living without her. There was no longer a possibility for neutrality. In a way she’d ruined everything. He’d never know what he was missing had he not been caught in the trap of loving her. Now…nothing was more important…still , he had a job to do. Despite his better efforts to get home on time, it wasn’t the 9-5 type of job. You didn’t have the option of stopping in the middle and driving home. It wasn’t as if he was a guy who chained himself to a desk to crunch numbers rather than going home. No, he was in a more sticky situation. Finishing the job was more than often a life or death situation. It bothered him sometimes that she didn’t understand this, but it also bothered him that he couldn’t really do any better for her. After all , she deserved anything she wanted. He was however, well aware that he couldn’t give her everything that he wanted to.


“ I know I … it was a mix up and things didn’t go quite right. “ he replied. Not really trying to defend himself but rather to explain. He leaned down and wrapped his good arm around her. It still hurt enough that he wanted to wince but he resisted the urge. “ I don’t deserve you babe, you’re far too good for me. “ He said sincerely but in a half playful tone. He was happy that she was so understanding. It only made him feel worse for being late at all. Ok sure it wasn’t really his fault that he was out and unconscious, but still …he felt rather bad. He wasn’t about to tell her those details. It would only make things harder on her if she knew all of the danger and risks that he really took at work. He walked downstairs to see the card on the table. As soon as he read it his heart dropped. He fell down into the chair and just stared blankly for a few moments. For the first time in quite a while Nathan was experiencing fear. After what seemed like a few hours. But was only minutes he rushed back up the stairs to Blair. “Babe?...is this real?” he asked her. Wondering if she was maybe trying to get back at him for the whole being late thing. Having a child…he didn’t know the first way to go about that.

Blair wasn’t always sunshine and rainbows all the time. There were times when her anger overtook her thinking and caused her to be a Texas tornado. She was a naïve little girl before Nathan came into her life. She was a shut in person that didn’t really trust people because she was so picked on from her abilities. But the world around her closed in and he became her purpose. He used to be closed off to everyone and anything that tried to come close. Her mind went off to the past and they time they first kissed. Blair remembered the smell of whiskey and they smoky motel room they were in. She was a little tipsy from the shots she was taking and her pushy self was driving Nathan insane. For whatever reason she was non-stop talking and he just pulled her close and kissed her to shut her up. They both didn’t realize how close they would be. Blair tossed in her bed and sighed, she was going to try to not be a supreme B**ch.

It wasn’t like she didn’t understand that his job was super important to him. She just didn’t understand why he left her so suddenly and didn’t regret it at all. If she hadn’t ran into him one night, would she have ever seen him again? Blair heard him come in and come upstairs, he thought he was so quiet but she was well aware. She let her B**chy side out way too much for him and the medium winced a little bit. Sometimes her tongue released words before thinking them out. Her skin had goosebumps from his touch and her eyes opened for his voice, “I’m just glad you are home and not dead somewhere. “

Blair had to hint to him about his surprise downstairs and boy did that man rush downstairs. He was probably having a mini heart attack right now. But Blair waited patiently upstairs curled up in her blanket. She heard him come back up and she sat up in bed to reach over to turn the lights on. The Texan had on a smile, “Yes, Nathan this is real.”

She reached to the nightstand and held sonograms that were taken today. Blair’s smiled widen as she pointed to the little jelly bean, “That’s our baby, love. I found out today that I am about six weeks. I know you are probably so nervous right now. I want you to know that we can do this.”

The little woman sat there and waited for his reaction to all this. She hoped that he would accept it and not tell her to go get rid of it. They have been together way too long to be dealing with high school aged actions. She loved him and nothing would change that. However, she knew his past scars from his Mother would really shew his future outlook. He may not be the most open with his emotions but Blair knew everything about him. Her hand extended to him and her hand took his slowly to her belly as her eyes reassured him, “Everything is going to be okay. “

As much as they loved each other they could get through anything.

Nathan looked at her for a moment as he tried to find the words to express what was going through his mind. She seemed to already capture his feelings on the matter. Nervous was perfect wording. The man was a hunter. It was hard enough protecting her, not that he’d complaining but there was a constant anxiety there…but now with a child there would be so many more dangers. Of course on the other side there were other problems…he was already having trouble with time management. How would he be a decent father if he didn’t’ have the ability to keep his word on being in on time. He had complicated work hours…it was basically from the time he got an assignment to the time where he hopefully got out alive. “I have to set up new wards… “ He said automatically. “ some creatures try to feed off of the energy of infants. You shouldn’t go out after sunset alone unless it’s an emergency…though I’m sure that your familiar would help with protecting you. Still I want you to be cautious. “ He said before he turned to wards the door getting ready to run to the basement and start getting everything in order. He paused for a moment and looked at Blair then he walked over cradled her face in his hands and kissed her. “ I love you Babe” He said then headed down towards his basement to start getting everything together for the child that was soon to come. He was going to be determined that his child would have a better life than he did. He started to work on creating runes and gathering his tools while thoughts ran through his mind. There was no way that he could continue working the way that he was if he was going to raise a child. On the other hand… he honestly didn’t know how to exist without his job. Yes Blair was his world…and of course his child would be as well, but he was a part of what kept that worlds safe. Honestly he was the only one who he really trusted with keeping his family safe. However, he also was a source of endangerment for his family. His entire life was centered on his work though…how would he survive without it. His head rested into his hands. He could never afford to let Blair know about his conflict. He didn’t need to let her see how stressed he was. He’d find a way to deal with this. He had to.

[Blair Winters]

Nathan looked like a thousand things were going on in his mind. That was Blair earlier when she found out and when the demon knew. Hunting for her just became dangerous and her mediumship was fine. She was experienced enough to be able to protect her baby. Once he mentioned wards Blair immediately rolled her eyes. It was her belief that those things were crap. But if it made Nathan feel more secure she would allow him to do so. When he cradled her face she melted on the inside. She smiled after his kissed, “I love you too.”

He rushed down to his work station to work on the wards and the Texan chuckled to herself. Blair looked her familiar and she noticed that he was chuckling. She looked at him, “I told you he would do that. “

Her familiar laughed and disappeared to go look at Nathan’s scrambling around trying to complete the wards. He sometimes would let Nathan know he was there. Her familiar tipped something over to let him know he was there. He used to get a hoot in the beginning when he had no clue that he was around and used to screw with him. The ghost looked at the stairs and watched Blair come down and sit on the stairs.

The little texan was watching him scurry around and make wards. She always got the giggles from him being nervous. Nathan was never in the position to be nervous expect with her. Her hand rubbed her stomach, "Do you want me to help you?"

[Nathan Kane]

The only thing that could scare Mr. Badarse was a creature smaller than a kidney bean. After all the man was never one for commitment before Blair…heck he went through women like some people did cigarettes. Here he was engaged and about to be a dad. Not as if he had much of an example in fathering to follow. His dad was pretty much shut down…which is what led to his own reckless behavior. So his 18 year sentence was about to begin. If he was going to be a dad he had to make sure that he could protect his kid… he spent most of his time protecting others…now it was time to care for them. He set up wards to make sure that no demons could cross into their yard. No evil magic or vampires could lurk around. He heard her familiar make a sound. Honestly at first he couldn’t stand the idea of being near a spirit but he’d gotten use to the presence and almost had a fondness for the being. He waved his hand acknowledging him then focused back on his task.

He heard Blair coming down and he turned and looked at her. His face was all business .”no its fine you can just rest he said before walking over and kissing her cheek…I need to make a phone call. “ he said then pulled out his phone. “ I’m going to take some of my vacation days… yeah…no…I’ll come in one a week but that’s the limit for a while. I’m having a kid. I need to be here. Yeah” he looked at Blair then hung up the phone. Yes , the impossible just happened. Nathan took time off from work. One day per week was probably going to drive him insane but he had a family to protect now…the world could come after. “I’ll be with you through this. “ he said. He couldn’t have her worried or stressed out…that was bad for a pregnant woman right? So if he had to suffer through a year or two of minimal work he’d do it. After all he had enough saved up not to work for a while…not to mention he had enough paid vacation leave built up to last a while. Financially they were set. “ we’ll need a bigger place. ..somewhere he can runaround safely. And a yard with a playground… I’ll build it on my time off. I’ll take care of everything and you.” One could tell by the dead serious look on his face that he meant it and he wasn’t going to change his mind…shed be the most pampered and protected pregnant woman on this planet. She’d probably still have to do the cooking though…or settle for take out everyday.

[Blair Winters]

It was weird to be at this point for Blair. Before Nathan she was just a good little church girl with all the naive tendencies. She was a little numb in a way to the nature of humans. However, the evils of the night were always well known to her.

Blair knew Nathan was scared because his Father shut down after his Mother's death. Her love after that has a reckless past, she heard stories from other hunter's about all the women. Hell, it was hard to believe that he fell for a goody two shoes medium. He thought she was bullSh*tting him about seeing ghosts just like other Hunters did. It was weird how human love works, how it brings the strangest people together. For whatever reason they were meant to be together, his cold demeanor and her freak self got together and work very well. At first, they couldn't stand each other but slowly that faded away for needing each other. The began spending more time together and eventually Blair grew enough balls to kiss Nathan. Although his disappearance deeply hurt her for a long time, it faded when they found each other again.

After Nathan rushed away after the big news her hand laid on top of her stomach. The lady sighed and immediately got up to go see what her fiance was up to. He was up to something and she knew he wouldn't rest until it was complete. She rested on the stairs and watched as her future husband scrambled around trying to find some materials. Blair did offer to help him with wards but he declined and kissed her instead. What Nathan did next what completely surprising he was asking for time off. Something she would have never seen coming ever but she wondered how long it would be until he was driven insane.  Not that Blair wouldn't love some time off with him but he was going to go stir crazy quick, that man needed to work.

Her hand softly touched her beloved's face, "You are going to go crazy with one day off. We'll move where ever you want as long as it is with you."


The medium would do whatever to make him happy as long as he was there. It was crazy to think that everything that had happened came to this. Them together about to get married with a child on the way. She hoped that whatever he hunted stayed away from them. That she could keep her child safe from the enemies that wanted revenge against him. 

[Nathan Kane]

[blockqoute]

It was the first time that he could remember having asked for time off. His handler was probably the most shocked and wondering if he’d been possessed by one of the demons he had hunted. It was also one of the easiest things for him to do . His life was his work…but this was different. He had a new life now. He smiled at her touch and kissed her hand gently. His mind calming and finding some ease to the stress surrounding the idea of having a child. Sure it was normal for anyone to worry about a new born baby. They were fragile little things both physically and mentally. They were also easy targets for evil spirits of many sorts. It was the easiest source for the blood of an innocent after all. People say that ignorance is bliss and that has a bit of truth to it. Instead of just worrying about normal things such as being a decent father…which he was pretty sure he’d fail at in one way or another, he had to worry about the things that lurked around the corners. The things that other mortals didn’t know were hunting them silently. Even worse he was a hunter , which meant that he had enemies. His fiancé was a medium and a huntress…even more cause for worry as the child could inherit the mother’s ability to connect with the spirit world. It just begged to be a situation full of fear for the man, and he wasn’t someone who was ever afraid…except for when it came to Blair and now the child that she was carrying.
<br>He chuckled at her statement about him going crazy. Honestly, she was probably right , but he fully intended to keep himself busy. “ I think I’m going to go crazy anyway…might as well go mad by the side of someone who I’m madly in love with ? “ He said not meaning to be a total cornball but it just came out that way. “you know I’m going to be a terrible father right? “ He said…that smile on his face had faded. After all he’d never learned what it meant to be a father. His own father was an empty shell of a man. If something happened to Blair…would he do the same to their child. The thought terrified him. He wasn’t even sure of how to relate to children, he’d honestly never spent much time around any kids.
