Your Baby Is Having My Baby

THE HELL WE WANT

Bellamy was nervous, but he made no show of it. It wasn't so much the fact that he had to tell the father of the woman he had gotten pregnant. It was the fact that he had to tell Marcus Kane, and with that . . . his family was put at risk. The Blakes had known just how important it was to blend in. Any special attention paid to them could pose a risk to Octavia. And now, Bellamy had knocked up the daughter of the Vice Chancellor. So much for staying clear of the authority figures on the Ark. Making his way to Kane's office, Bellamy took a deep breath, remaining composed.

He knew the man would be mad. Hell, it was his daughter after all. And Bellamy hadn't offered Lilly any sort of romantic commitment between them. That said, he was completely commited to the child. Their unborn baby. He only hoped that her parents not demand it be terminated and thus, reject them the permit for one. Bellamy told the guard outside that he wished to speak to Kane. He only had a to wait a few moments, apparently coming at a good time. He'd offered to be the one to tell Marcus, as he was no coward and was unafraid of owning up his actions. He only hoped it would not be at the expense of his sister and mother. Stepping inside Kane's office,

Bellamy took the liberty of closing the door behind them. "Sir," he greeted with a bit of a nod. Bellamy had recently finished cadets as was now officially among the guard. Kane might recognize him, but Bellamy's interactions with the man were minimal; practically non existant . . . until now. "My name is Guardsman Bellamy Blake." It was always best to start with his name, should he be unfamiliar. "And I'm here to speak about your daughter." Bellamy was not one to beat around the bush, and he was fairly certain Marcus didn't have the time for it. But he would start with that, and let it sit before continuing on.

[Marcus Kane]

Marcus Kane was a man who believed in making plans and following them out. He had followed his plans from the time that he joined the guard as a cadet until where he was now. Join the guard. Put int he time. Push yourself higher. Get on the council. Become chancellor. That was the next step. The final step. Once he had that accomplished he would have done everything he had set out to do in his life time. He was only 40 and he had done it.

And a major part of that was in thanks to his wife. Callie, whom was a leader in her field as well, was his first and foremost supporter. She never followed him blindly, and always helped him see reason. She had married him young, but rose up the ranks by merit. Anyone who knew her, knew that Callie Kane was the brightest mind of her day, and that she was on the council as well because she was one of the best.

And then there was his daughter. Lilly.

Marcus had a soft spot for his daughter, but with two driven parents she was doing everything in her power to be unlike them. She had no plans for her future, and was only just now starting working in a temporary job before deciding on her career. It was it wife whom pushed her, as Marcus dotted on his daughter. He could command the guard, but he didn’t take the high hand with her. Perhaps if he had, there would not be a guardsman before him asking to speak with him about her his daughter. There was a hundred reasons the man could be standing before him right now with no appointment and Lilly on his mind. Had she gotten in trouble? Nothing medical had happened or they would have come to get him and Callie, in an official way. No, Marcus could tell this was something else.

He mentally sized up the guard. Was he here to blackmail him into keeping quiet about his daughter’s miss deeds? He knew she had a slightly wilder side, but he had thought she had good judgment. Marcus just stared at the younger man for a long moment before speaking, “You have my attention, Guardsmen Blake.” His tone was guarded, as was his expression. What had she gotten herself into this time?
