Keith looked up from his computer when he heard her knock. "Come on in," he said. Looking over at Sophitia, he smirked. "Have you written that list for me yet?"

Mia walked in. Looking at Sophitia she shifted. "Can I have a moment with him alone?"

Sophitia smirked. "Sure, but if you've come to claim him, I've got dibs." She kissed Keith on the neck. "I'm not writing the list," she whispered and left.

Mia just blushed then closed the door. "I...didn't know she liked you like that." She smiled lightly. "I guess...in the end, I did become like the other girls."

Keith cleared his throat and looked away. "I never intended for you to be like the others," he told her. "I just...never expected Sophitia to come back, just as you never expected Neron to come back." Looking at her, he smirked. "And I think Sophitia has the hots for me."

She went to sit on the bed but then hesitated. She had no idea what they were just doing. Looking at him she shook her head and smiled. "No...it's ok. I'm happy for you and I know it's not your fault that it happened this way. I don't regret anything. You...treated me with respect and for a moment, I really considered spending the rest of my life with you." Grabbing a seat, she sat next to him. "And that's pretty cool....however..." she took his hands in hers, "Keith, in the moment...we weren't really thinking and...I've never been on birth control and you didn't use a condom." She dropped his hands, scared of his reaction. "I mean...I've never had to use birth control before because of obvious reasons and I really didn't plan on sleeping with you so I never got any. I just assumed I would never need it and when we were suddenly on your bed...and you were kissing me...all I could really think about was how much I really just wanted to...be with you..."

Keith's jaw dropped. "What!?" He jumped up and began pacing. "That means that you..that I...that we.... Oh my God!! I could have gotten you pregnant!" He knelt before her, his eyes wide. "What are we going to do? What are you going to do? You could get an abortion. I could push you down some stairs. Hell, Neron could just stab himself in the stomach, that would probably do the trick. Yes, I like that idea."

He looked back at her, shaking her quickly. "What are we going to do if you're pregnant!?"

Once she was thoroughly startled and on the verge of tears, he patted her back and laughed. "Ah, relax, I'm just messing with ya. You're not pregnant, so don't worry so much."

Mia smacked him hard on the chest then pushed him back. "I'm serious! We didn't use any protection! And I don't want your kid!" She glared at him. "And I would never get an abortion you pig!" She then grabbed him and pulled him down to sit. "And keep your voice down. I haven't told Neron and I don't plan on it unless....unless I am...you know." She then bit her lip. "By the way, I was just wondering...was I any good?"

Keith groaned and then laughed when she asked him her rather ludicrous question. "That's for me to know and you to never find out." Cupping her face with his hands, he smirked as he looked at her. "Trust me," he told her. "You're not pregnant. At least not with my child."

Mia placed her hands over his. "How can you be so calm? So sure?"

He smirked. "I'm a rich, immortal, playboy," he told her. "I sleep with three or four girls a day on average. I made certain long ago that none of them would ever come back with allegations of a child. Ever hear of a vasectomy? I didn't want to take any chances with any bastard kids. So you're safe." He kissed her forehead and moved his thumb over her cheek. "Though you would look cute carrying my child."

"Oh..." she said slowly. "I guess that would make you sure and calm...." She looked at him in the eyes. "Think you will ever change you mind and get it reversed?"

He shrugged. "I dunno," he said as he moved over to his computer. "I don't really see myself as the nurturing, caring, father-y type of person."

"Well...I mean...obviously Sophitia has taken a liking to her and I've always felt something between you two. Maybe you'll settle down with her someday."

"Ask me about that in about five to ten years when we find out who out of us is immortal, if any," he said as he looked back at her. "And I'm pretty certain I won't have a choice but to settle down with her. She's already threatened to kill anyone else I sleep with...." He pouted at that.

She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you for taking care of me, Keith," she said and stood. "I think I'll be moving out soon."

"What!? Why!? Where would you go?"

"I can't rely on you to take care of both Neron and me forever. I should get my own place and figure out what I'm going to do with my life so I can finish collage and get a job...hopefully something that pays well because I'm sure Neron doesn't have many skills for this kind of world..."

Keith waved it off. "Stay here and save your money. Finish college, and then once you know what you're going to do you can move out. As for Neron, I'm certain he could make it as a porn star. That doesn't take too much skill."

Mia growled at him. "You are such a perv." She then smiled at him. Reaching down, she pressed her lips to his lightly, leaving him with a sweet, soft kiss before she left.

Keith smiled as she left. Turning back to his computer, he sighed and continued working on the document he had been writing. He had spent the last thirty years trying to keep people at a distance so they wouldn't find out about his immortality. However, having a house full of people...it felt warm...and fuzzy. He didn't know why it felt fuzzy, or how an emotion could feel fuzzy...but it did. He liked it. Saving the document, he read over the title. "The Lost Ones," he smirked. His book was almost complete, but he knew that every ending was just a beginning. Turning off the computer, he walked out to the kitchen where he saw Neron, Mia, and Sophitia talking and laughing. Upon realizing he was there, Sophitia beckoned him with a finger. Smiling, he joined his friends. Tomorrow was another day, but for now he would simply enjoy the present.
