Artemis nodded, helping Fae into her car and drove back to her place. She quietly got the test and handed it to the blonde. “I’ll be right here waiting for you,” she stated.
Zack pulled his phone out, taking a deep breath as he dialed Matt’s number. Would the other boy even answer him? Probably not, but he had to try.
Fae nodded her head. She walked into the bathroom and followed the instructions, not sure whether she was worried or excited. Seeing Celeste made her want to have a baby, but at the same time, now wasn’t a good time to have one. It wasn’t safe with the cult around. She paced back and forth as she waited, her stomach in knots.
“Matt, it’s Zack,” Zack mumbled into the phone. “I know I’m probably the last person you want to hear from right now, but I just wanted to tell you, I had nothing to do with the wolfsbane. I swear to you.”
After a few minutes had passed, Fae picked up the test and closed her eyes, walking out to Artemis. “You look at it, I can’t,” she mumbled.
“I don’t know what I can do to prove it to you,” Zack said. “But if I had done it, why would I be apologizing for it? I would have wanted to see you act that way. But I didn’t. I hated seeing you that way…” He shook his head quickly. “It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not, I just wanted to tell you.”
Fae bit her lip hard. “I don’t know whether to be happy or scared,” she admitted.
“I trust Artemis,” Matt stated. “Her telling me to stop is the reason I didn’t try and kill you with that scum of a lawyer today.” He looked down at his hands and sighed softly. “Now that she knows Cole is alive she’ll get him back.”
“Well someone had to, and nobody hates them more than you do,” Zack said.
Fae nodded her head. She wasn’t ready to tell her mom yet. She needed to figure things out with Matt first. She shifted both herself and Artemis, leading her inside. When she saw Matt, she walked over and sat down beside him. “I need to talk to you,” she said.
Zack frowned. He never would have thought his parents would stoop that low, but he guessed he was wrong. He walked over to his parents and his lawyer. “Who did it?” He hissed, looking at his dad. “Was it you?”
Fae shook her head. “I’m not mad at you,” she murmured. “It just scared me a little.” She looked down at Celeste and then back up at him. “I’m pregnant.”
