Blank Canvas

Chapter Twelve

(Same time as beginning of last chapter)

Shadow POV
I woke up and realized I had to meet with Dark and Missy today. Jeff had to go with the guys too. I felt i hard kick so I looked at my baby bump. I was eight months in and I'm already tired of it. I want these thing to pop out already. Jeff had his arm around my bump and was snoring. I giggled and got out of his grip. He groaned and sat up. "Baby?" He said groggily. "Its time to get up. You have a date with the guys today." I said gently. He stood and walked off. He walked to the kitchen of our shared apartment that we bought just last month. It was a simple two bedroom so it would be great for a family of three or four. The baby would either share a room with another baby or have the room to itself.
I walked to the bathroom and stripped. I ran the water and when it was warm, I filled the tub up. Then I climbed in and soaked in the warm water. I usually woke up early to take warm baths. It was said that it would help the baby or babies. Jeff and I didn't know if it was one or two. We decided to wait and see the gender too.
I heard my phone ring and when I reached for it I saw the username Asshat. I chuckled and clicked answer.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hey Shadow." Brian or Hoodie said.

"Why are you calling me this early? Is something wrong?"

"No its just...I wanted to know if..."

"Wanted to know what?"

"If Darkness has forgiven me yet?"

"You should ask her."

Then I hung up. I sighed into my hands. I shook my head. Not the time for this. I gently stood using the handicap bar and walked out of the tub. I pulled the plug and heard it gurgle. I put a towel around me and walked into the bedroom. Jeff walked inside and wolf whistled. "Stop it." I whined. He only laughed and walked out. I removed the towel and threw on some black jeans. It was sad that I had to wear elastic waistbands now. I shook my head and threw on a red maternity shirt and my black leather jacket. I placed some shades on and sat on the bed. I then pulled my combat boots on and tied them. Then I walked back to the bathroom and brushed my red hair before I placed it in a ponytail. When I walked out Jeff walked in and began doing his thing. I walked to the living room looked at the necklace on the table. I sighed and put it on and my eyes turned hazel brown. My skin turned into a tan but everything else stayed the same except for my horns. They went away too. Then I turned on the TV.
"BREAKING NEWS!
Murder Victims Identified
Hello my name is Sarah and we've got Intel from a source that two murder victims have been identified. As you may know, eight months ago we found 127 dead bodies burnt to a crisp in a forest. Two of those have been identified. Toby and Tina have no last name in our database but we assume they are married. Authorities are still working on it today. Now for the weather. What do you have for us Tim?"
The remote dropped from my hand in shock. "Baby." I heard Jeff say behind me. I turned with tears in my eyes. He hugged me and whispered "Its gonna be okay." I sniffed and pulled away. "Yeah." He nodded and grabbed his necklace from the table as well. I looked at him again and his permanent smile stretched farther and then he put the necklace on.
His black eyes turned bluer than blue. His skin became tanner and his smile was gone. His hair was now brown, fluffy, and long. He smiled and I saw perfectly white teeth. I smiled too. We walked to the kitchen and ate a quick bowl of cereal before he left to change. When he came back he was wearing black jeans and a white hoodie. His normal outfit. "At least wear something different." I chuckled. He smirked walking out and walking back in with a pink bow in his hair. I spit water all over the place as I laughed. He smiled and grabbed his keys. "Want a ride?" He asked and I nodded placing the dishes in the sink and wiping my mouth. We walked out turning off everything and walked to the car park. He clicked the beeper and our red and black sport car lit up and beeped. We climbed in and he took off, you guessed it, speeding.
