Oregon
I walked with Stephen by my side in the hallway, and he seemed to be smiling at me. I glanced at him and sighed deeply.
"How was it? How did I do?" I asked.
"You mean the meeting? You did great. In fact, I was shocked and too stunned to speak," he answered.
I only smiled and nodded my head. He followed me all the way to my bedroom, and we entered together.
"Why didn't you tell them the truth, though?" he asked, in a whisper.
I looked at him as I took the necktie off my neck. "What are you talking about?" I asked.
"About Vivian's pregnancy, of course! Why didn't you tell them she was pregnant with your child? Why did you have to be so complicated while explaining yourself?" he said.
"Stephen, I had to be really careful with my words. I was just being smart," I said, as I fell onto the bed.
"How?" he asked, sounding curious.
I scoffed. "Don't you have any idea?" I asked, in wonder.
"I wish," he replied, rolling his eyes.
"Actually, I thought if I told them she was carrying my child, they would ask a lot of questions like, 'When did you two make love? How did she suddenly become pregnant? It hasn't been too long since she came here, so how did it happen?'" I replied, and Stephen smiled.
"Whoa, I guess you are right. As usual, you are so smart," Stephen said.
I nodded. "Of course. That's why I told them otherwise. I'm going to surprise them when I tell them my breeder is pregnant with my child," I uttered, giving a full smirk.
"But Oregon…" Stephen called, whispering as he sat on the bed, close to my feet.
"Yes?" I answered and looked at him.
"Will you really do it?" he asked, hesitatingly.
"Do what?" I asked, quite confused.
Stephen swallowed hard. "Will you really make love with Vivian?" he asked, avoiding eye contact.
I smiled and sat upright. "Of course, I will."
"What!" he half yelled as his eyes darted to me.
"Why are you so surprised? Isn't she my breeder? I can have sex with her as much as I wish," I said.
"I understand, but… I actually thought you were joking. Why bother to make love with her? She is pregnant, you don't have to stress yourself so much," he told me bluntly.
"I know, but I already gave them my word. I should fulfill it," I replied.
"Oregon, I have a question," Stephen whispered.
My eyes blinked, and I asked, "What is that?"
