Chapter 369: A Miracle
Laz made his way quickly to where he knew Gretchen and Wilma had taken the young girl. As soon as he entered the room, he noticed it looked like a rather nicely decorated sitting room, with comfortable couches, lush chairs and even a dry bar in the corner. As soon as he closed the door behind him, he heard the two older women talking to the younger woman.
"Do you have any idea why he would single you out, Renee?"
"Is there something you’re hiding from us?"
Wilma and Gretchen both asked questions, but quieted quickly upon seeing Laz enter.
"Lay down on the couch. Can I get one of you to get someone to go get her clothes from the field? I should have thought about it earlier, but between my surprise from this and the earthquake that wasn’t natural and I hope you two don’t try to hide that information when we talk later, I forgot," Laz said, walking over and lifting the girls hand while helping her get comfortable and lay down.
"I.... I..."
"It’s ok. I’m not mad. I’m also not really that guy you saw out there so try to relax. I need you to answer my questions honestly though, alright? It’s very important for you and for myself who wants to help you." Gone was Laz’s ice cold glare and frosty demeanor. Instead, what replace it was a charm and warmth that could have melted an iceberg. It was so overwhelming that even Gretchen and Wilma felt themselves falling to just the charm in his voice, perfectly willing to give him whatever he wanted in that moment. While this wasn’t Laz’s intention, he truly had never tried to relax and comfort someone in a long time, therefore he had no clue at how effective his bloodline would make his words, voice and even aura in doing so.
The temptation of an Asura isn’t something to take lightly.
Since even the older and far more knowledgeable women fell to him, this young Renee was no different. She willing laid back at Laz’s request, her eyes a sea of calm and tranquility.
"So how long have you known you were pregnant?" Laz asked, the first question being the most important.
"Um.. about three months now..." She answered truthfully.
"And is the father an infected?"
"No.." Her voice became noticeably agitated when the father was mentioned, so Laz followed up on that.
"Does he know? How long have you been here? Why did you hide it?" While the questions could be considered blunt, the warmth and comfort in Laz’s words made it seem entirely unimportant.
"He doesn’t. After we.. made love.. about two weeks later, he caught me using my power to kill a rabid dog that had attacked me. He started panicking and talking about what would happen if people found out and that he would lose his job and all this other stuff while I tried to tell him it would be ok and that I could hide it and that the things people said about us were untrue. But that didn’t matter. The next day, he had called the police on me. I only barely managed to escape since I had heard him make the phone call. I somehow escaped and ended up here. I quickly figured out I was pregnant though since obviously there are signs. To confirm it, I stole a pregnancy test one of the other girls was throwing away since she felt like she didn’t need it anymore and was trying to get rid of all of the things that reminded her of her old life. As for hiding it? I didn’t want to get kicked out. I... I have no place else to go and if I get caught by either those chosen bastards or the government... well... what else could I do? I was scared." Was being the key here since for some reason, she felt rather safe at the moment.
SMACK
Laz turned his head to see that Gretchen had slapped Wilma to wake her up from her stupor.
"The clothing?"
"Clothing? Oh yeah... yes. Let me go get.."
Laz turned back to the girl.
"I need to examine you. Is that ok?" Laz asked, his voice a reassurance.
"Anything you want..." Renee said before blushing at her very forward wording.
"Thank you. First, we need to remove this," Laz had Renee lift up her hands and arms and he deactivated the runes, causing the shirt to again become full size and removed it from her body. Laz then helped her to lay back and she embarrassingly covered up her breasts.
"It’s quite alright. You have nothing to be ashamed about. Please, for me, put your arms to your sides?"
While being bright red like a tomato, Renee did exactly that
"Good girl," Laz said, rubbing her head a little in an assuring way.
"Now then, can I get you to close those pretty eyes and take some deep breaths. My hands will be moving along your body and checking some things out. But don’t worry, it won’t hurt, ok?"
"Ok..." Her voice was like a whisper of wind that could barely be heard.
Laz then got to work using his spiritual sense and black flames to move around her body, inspecting the still growing child within her while cleansing her body and helping to speed heal the bits of injury that were present. While Laz wasn’t an expert in this kind of thing, his senses saw what he himself didn’t understand and allowed him to fix the things he found.
When he finally had his hand over her stomach, he was able to sense the life growing within. While it was still small, it was strong and healthy.
The reason this whole thing was such a shock and surprise was something everyone knew, but no one ever talked about. At least, not out loud. Once a woman became infected, she was no longer able to get pregnant. At least, that had been the generally agreed thought. Was it the truth? There was no way to really know. Perhaps some testing had been done behind the scenes in closed labs in dark basements where experiments happened that couldn’t be talked about. But out in the light, there had never been a case of an infected woman giving birth. And the accepted reason for that? Well, to the normal citizen, it was because the mother was sick and therefore unable to give birth. Once she became infected, she became sterile. But to those who understood the situation better, it was because the strength and compatibility of the bloodline was the most important part. And the information on that was severely lacking.
As such, seeing an actual pregnant infected, Laz couldn’t help but be curious. And luckily for all parties involved, he was strangely the best person to deal with it.
’I really should study medicine when I get a chance. I can’t keep relying on instinct,’ Laz promised himself as he again observed the woman though his spiritual sense.
Something caught his eye as he looked closer. It was some sort of strange interaction between the growing child and the mother’s body that Laz didn’t really understand, but the impression Laz got was that the mother’s body had accepted the child and was protecting it, not just in the normal way but also in a bloodline interacting with bloodline way.
"Amazing..." Laz whispered as he kept looking.
While he was distracted with that, Laz didn’t notice Celes enter the room quietly, nor would he have expected her to. He had left her the role of leading the group in a jog exercise and that should have taken her a while. Little did he know that she just dumped everything on Joan who was more than happy to whip these girls along for a run and Celes followed after her grandma instead.
Just as Celes silently closed the door, she looked over the young woman who was laying down and blanked for a moment. The first thing she noticed was the young woman was naked and laying flat on a sofa while Laz was sitting on a stool next to her. From her viewpoint, she saw Laz running his hands back and forth over her body, touching every inch of her as he examined her. Since Laz had been focused on what was happening inside, he failed to notice the woman’s reaction to his touch and even more so to him using his energy to help her. Since Laz’s bloodline is many times stronger than the woman in front of him, the energy he injected was like a straight shot of bliss being introduced into a woman who’s hormones were already raging due to being pregnant. The end result was that she had been turned on so much that while Laz had finally settled his hands on her stomach, she was actually pinching her own nipples while playing with herself as she rubbed whatever she could against him like a feline in heat.
Seeing all this and coming to the wrong conclusion, Celes snapped and went for the distracted Laz, attempting to bash him in the head with an empty vase that had been sitting by the doorway.
Luckily Gretchen had seen this and stopped her.
"GRANDMA, LET ME GO. I’M GOING TO KILL HIM..." She screamed and tried to struggle free.
"Relax, would you? It’s not what you think. Notice how it’s her coming on to him at least, ok?" Gretchen said, still restraining her granddaughter.
While Celes still tried to break free, she also opened her eyes and noticed that her grandma was right. It was clear that Laz wasn’t paying attention to the young woman’s obvious advances, his mind being completely focused and his eyes closed.
"What is she doing? And what is going on?" Celes asked when she finally calmed down.
"Well.. a lot. But I’m not completely sure yet so why don’t you just calmly wait while he finishes so we can ask him, ok?
"Fine... Fine..."
"Ohhhh mmmnnnnnnn." The young woman moaned in pleasure as Laz again injected some of his black flames into the woman’s abdomen.
While Celes had been screaming not a moment before, for some reason it was this moan that awoke Laz from his inspection.
"Hmm?" Laz mumbled, pulling his hands away while trying to understand what was going on. Before he got far though, a pair of vice like fingers locked on to his right hand and immediately shoved his hand down in between Renee’s spread legs. Laz could immediatly feel the warm and wetness as he looked at her face with a bit of surprise.
"Please? Pretty please? It’s been so long... please daddy? Please make mommy cum...?" Renee said with a voice that was one part shy and two parts seductive.
"Ha ha. Alright. You were very good and allowed me to check you over. The least I can do is help with this one request," Laz said, his voice even more seductive yet strong and firm.
Without even bothering to pay attention to who else might be there, Laz took action with his right hand and began fingering the wet mother to be while his left hand went to work on her nipples, pinching and teasing them one after another.
While it only lasted for a moment, one in which neither Gretchen or Celes could react, the woman let out such loud moans that you would have thought she was being ravaged by a sex god. Just as her squeals hit a fevered pitch, her back arched as her legs shook and Laz’s wet hand became drenched in her love juices. She then collapsed back and without warning, fell asleep right there.
"Well. That was unexpected. Still though, seems she is totally fine..." Laz swung his head to the side, just in time to avoid the thrown vase.
"What might you be doing?" Laz asked the now furious Celes.
"I GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!!!!"
