Not Exactly Baby Bourne Anymore

Now Evan was genuinely confused "Cassie, come here..." he pointed to the couch "What has been going on at home since I left?"

Cassie sat down on the couch next to her brother.

"They're always comparing me to you Ev, it's always 'Why can't you be more like your brother' or 'Your brother's so great, look what he's done with his life, what the hell have you done' it's so hard to have to listen to that day in and day out," Cassie said.

Evan was starting to feel very guilty "Cassie" he whispered "I didn't know what they were doing, if I had I would've come home and set everything straight, they shouldn't have compared you to me. You're your own special person, Mom and Dad shouldn't have jumped on you like this."

"Evan, can I tell you something?" Cassie asked softly.

"Sure Cassie, what is it?"

"When they kicked me out, I was trying to get pregnant, cause I knew they'd disown me," Cassie said.

Evan didn't say anything for a minute, he didn't quite trust his temper. Finally, he took a deep breath and murmured "Are you pregnant?"

"Yes," Cassie muttered softly.

"Alright" Evan murmured "I'm gonna try and convince Matt to let you stay here. If he agrees, do you promise to behave?"

"I can't make any promises, but for my dork of a big brother," Cassie smiled. "I can try."

Evan smiled and gave his sister a kiss "That's all I ask" he smiled "Now let me go talk to Matt."

Cassie nodded.

Grabbing his crutches, Evan limped up and went to find his boyfriend, who'd retreated to his office after 'grounding' his sister,

"Mattie..." he murmured, sighing when Matt kept his back turned to him "Is there any way Cassie can stay here longer?"

"Evan, one, you know you're not supposed to be up on that ankle, and two, I know that tone," Matt said. "What's going on?"

"There's been a slight complication...." Evan sighed "Cassie's pregnant."

"You call that a 'slight' complication?" Matt said, his brown eyes wide.

"Okay so it's more like a giant complication, but that's not the point" Evan sighed again "The point is...can Cassie stay here, at least until the baby is born?"

"Okay, first thing, come here," Matt said sitting down in a chair and pulling Evan into his lap. "Let's get you off that ankle before I have to ground you like I did your sister," Matt chuckled.

"You can ground me if you want" Evan giggled "But will you let Cassie stay here?"

"Will it make my Evy happy?" Matt asked.

Evan leaned over and kissed Matt right on the lips "It would make me VERY happy"

Matt smiled.

"Alright then, but you better tell her to keep that attitude of hers in check, you know I can't stand and attitude," Matt said.

Evan nodded "Don't worry about that, she's already promised to behave herself."

"And Evan, for the last time, stay OFF the ankle," Matt added. "Getting you to stay still is worse than Hailey when I give her coffeee before I send her home."

"I'm surprised Chris hasn't killed you for that stunt yet" Evan laughed, giggling when Matt picked him up to take him back to the living room "Thanks Matt, it means a lot to me, it really does."
