Chapter 10
"I... um..." Claire looked around the coffee shop, anywhere but at her friend, Violet. She took a sip of coffee. She mustered her courage and looked into Violet's expectant, hazel eyes. "I missed my period," Claire said quickly.
"You're probably just off your rhythm a bit..." Violet processed the information. "Wait... you don't think..." Violet had assumed Claire was using protection with Jackson. Or at least timing her cycle. That's what Violet had been doing with her brother.
"I was thinking, maybe a baby would help with understanding your serum?" Claire offered a faint smile to her friend. "With genomic tendencies in -"
"You're keeping the baby?" Violet's mouth dropped open. "What about your work in the lab? Who's going to be the father?"
"Don't be silly. Jackson is the father."
"I mean, who's going to raise your baby with you? Because Jackson is eighteen and, well, preoccupied with his... dating life." Violet couldn't believe what she was hearing. "What about your work in the lab?"
"I want this baby." Claire put a hand on her still flat stomach protectively. "And actually, as I was about to say, if you really want to understand your serum, I think a baby is an excellent opportunity."
"You've lost your mind." Violet shook her head.
Claire leaned forward across the little table. "Think about it. Think about what Jackson's babies could mean for science. For humanity. I want to be a part of something special."
"This doesn't sound like you Claire." Violet reached out and put her hand on her friend's hand. "We're not vessels for science. Maybe we should image your brain and see -"
"I knew you wouldn't understand." Claire stood up. "I think babies are a good idea. Think about it." She frowned and walked toward the door of the coffee shop.
"Babies? Plural? You want me to have my brother's baby? Your really are crazy," Violet called after Claire. Every eye in the small shop turned on Violet. She looked around and smiled nervously at the crowd. Violet packed up her things and headed for home.

Normally, the early afternoon was time for Margaret's yoga class. She put on her yoga pants and yoga tank top with the built-in sports bra. She put her hair up and added a bit of waterproof makeup to her face. Looking in the mirror, Margaret felt ready for her class. She walked to the mudroom, picked up her keys, and stopped at the door to the garage. She paused there for a long while, her hand on the door handle. She then turned and dropped her keys in the dish.
Maybe that despicable Burton teenager would stop by after school? Did she want to be at home when he arrived? Surely not. But her knees trembled at the thought and butterflies filled her stomach. It had been three days since that depraved moment at the Burton house, and every afternoon Margaret had decided not to go to yoga class. She was behaving like a schoolgirl with a crush. A crush for a brutish, malformed miscreant. But, however terrifying the teenager's penis was, the thought of it had changed her daily routine. She looked over at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already too late. She wouldn't make the class in time. Margaret went into the kitchen and got herself a glass of water. Little ripples formed on the surface of the water as her hand trembled. She needed to get her mind off Jackson.
The doorbell rang and Margaret froze. The water just touched her lips. It was him. She knew it was. He'd stopped at her house after school. What was she supposed to do? She thought of her trusting husband working hard at work. She couldn't give herself over to that beast outside again. But she couldn't very well let him stand out there for all the neighbors to see. She lowered the glass from her mouth.
The walk through her house to the front door seemed to take an eternity. She was dimly aware that answering the door in her yoga clothes would give that feral youth's roving eyes much to look at. But she didn't even stop to put on a loose shirt. Her hand went to the doorknob and she opened the door. The teenager stood with taunting confidence on her doorstep, leering at her just as she had expected. "You are not welcome at my house, Jackson. After what you did to me, I should -"
"Let me in, Mrs. Evans," Jackson said loudly so that his voice echoed back off his house across the street.
She looked around the street, but it was empty. "I'll only let you in if you promise..." Margaret's gaze dropped down to Jackson's shorts. She knew he could see her staring, but she couldn't pull her eyes away. Now she was the one with roving eyes. Or rather, they were fixed in the wrong place.
"Whatever you want. I promise." Jackson pushed past her into the front hall and closed the front door behind him. Margaret stood next to him with a slack-jawed expression. Usually she looked so haughty. Now she just looked stupid. "So, my mom wanted me to come over today and pick up where we left off over at my house."
"Your mother sent that thing to my house?" Margaret pointed at his shorts. "I thought she was a respectable woman. How could she?"
"You told her that she ran a brothel." Jackson lowered his shorts and underwear and stepped out of them. His rigid dick swung out into the open. It was quite ready for his neighbor. "You've always been mean to her. Not anymore, Mrs. Evans." Jackson pulled his t-shirt off and tossed it at one of the photographs on a side table. It landed on a framed photo of Margaret and her husband on vacation. Their unknowing, frozen smiles disappeared under the t-shirt.
"If I do this... I'm no better than a... rutting pig." But even as she said it, her trembling knees gave and she lowered herself to a kneeling position in front of the eighteen-year-old monster. She knew this was a position of servitude. She was serving the boy.
