"What kind of news?' Crest asked expecting something mundane...

She sits on his lap and smiles, her eyes sparkling.  "Crest... I'm pregnant."

*Falls out of bed literally*

Wait what just happened?!?!

Ahem... I mean... Carry on!!!

xD  Did you really fall out of bed?

OOC Well Lir, when a man and a women love each other very much...

Crest had been trained to handle many emotional situations... but this one was far beyond his capacity as he finally stopped working. He stared at Sam, examining her face with utmost surprise.

"W...what did you say?"

Yes! I was grabbing one of my pillows off the floor and happened to be reading at the same time and it surprised me so much I lost balance and fell over!

Not a word from anyone -looks mainly at Crouch-

"I'm pregnant... We're going to have a baby!

OOC Lol!  xD  But yes!  It's finally happening!

OOC

Crest could start to feel his head getting light, all feeling in his body becoming abuzz with anticipation and nerves. What if he didn't do well? But he was too excited to let the question stay in his mind for longer than a second.

"That's... wonderful!!" He smiled at her and kiss her lovingly.

Sam kisses him back passionately.  "I love you."

"I love you too Mrs. Strayer..." He holds onto her, keeping back the biting concern he had over how well he'd do as a parent.

Crest escorted Kevin into the cell blocks. The cavern city had been recently modified by Artisan to include a lot more metal and new and improved security features.

This cell was a stone room and a glass wall. Crest pressed Kevin against the glass and it seemed too turn into a liquid which made Kevin sink into the room but then be reformed as glass. Escape would not be possible without outside assistance.

He fell to the floor and immediately curled in on himself. He held his knees to his chest as he cried. "I didn't mean to hurt anyone," he whispered to himself.

Joshua knelt by his side and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "I know Kevin, you never mean to hurt anyone."

OOC Can Sam come in?

OOC Yeah, sure. The more the merrier

Sam was looking for Crest, eventually learning where he was.  When she sees what he's doing and Kevin in a cell, her eyes widen, and she looks at Crest.  "Crest! What are you doing?!"

"He's in association with Death Eaters..." Crest explained calmly.

He looked up at Sam through swollen eyes. "I'm sorry," he mumbled, hoping she would hear it. "I didn't mean to... You should hate me."

"Everyone does hate you, Kevin." Temp knelt down by his side. "Well, mostly everyone. I don't hate you Kevin."

Sam shakes her head, "I don't hate you, Kevin..."  She looks back at Crest, tears in her eyes.  "No! He's not!!"

"But I saw him! He was conversing with two people somehow. One Temp and someone else.." 

"He flat out asked if he was a death eater now."

"No! Crest!"  She gets in close to him and shout-whispers, "He has schizophrenia!!"

He shook his head as guilt and shame overrode every other emotion. "I'm just like them. I'm just as bad..."

Crest taps his chin. The evidence WAS circumstantial. 

"You." Crest addressed Kevin, "Are these people you were talking to earlier with you now?" If this story was true, he'd say yes.

Sam looks at Kevin, nodding at him to tell Crest.

"They're always with me," he said softly.

"I see..." Crest let up the glass door between, regretting putting in innocent man in prison but it didn't reach his face. "You're free to go..."
