{Three more chapters until I can officially be in the thirties! Longest-running Kai517 story- well, fanfiction, that is- available on 抖阴社区! So excited to be getting this far, even though it means that I'm getting closer and closer to having to write the end of the story... and starting the sequel(s)! So... *jazz hands*}

Cass was dismissed soon afterwards, and she joined Varian in his bedroom.
"I- I can't believe I did that," she said for what seemed like the millionth time, "I just can't believe... how stupid can I be? So many mistakes. Such a bad past..."
"I don't care about your past. Nobody does."
"Yeah, but still..."
"Let me try that again. There's more to life than just the past. Okay? I've had a pretty crazy past, too, remember? But... I don't let that get me down. I just... I use the mistakes of the past in order to better my future. Even then, not all of the mistakes were my fault."
Cass nodded.
"Makes sense, I suppose."
He smiled at her before standing, wrapping her in his arms.
"I love you, I love you, I love you."
She pulled back just a little, enough to see him face-to-face.
"And I love you, too. And... I'm keeping him or her."
She was surprised at how quickly this decision came to her, but she knew that it was the decision she wanted to make, the one that would be best.
Varian's eyes went wide for a second before going soft. The corners of his lips quirked up in just the tiniest of smiles as he gazed at her.
"For real?"
"Yeah, for real."

{Short, pretty crappy chapter. But it will get so much better really soon. I promise.}
