Oleander felt like she had been hit by a truck. It had been three days since she had been able to change back into a snake. Which meant no rest for her. And there was only one explanation why she couldn't. She had found an old house at the end of the road that stopped just at the forest's edge. She had spent her days there, cleaning everything. She walked back down the steep hill to the cabin Scotty might still be in.
"Scotty?" She called, knocking gently on the door. She leaned against the door frame, closing her eyes. 'I need sleep..' She thought, wondering how much longer it would be until she was at her wit's end. "Scotty.."

Scotty hadn't been doing much of anything since Ace had left. They had been texting a lot and it sounded like he would be in an okay foster home. But only time would really tell. Scotty hadn't been going to class at all, they probably figured he dropped out or just didn't care enough.
He was laying on the floor thinking about his life when he heard someone knock on his door and then heard Ollie's soft voice. He stood up brushing the dust from him and went over, opening up the door.
He was surprised when he saw Ollie, fully human and looking exhausted. "Ollie?" he asked softly helping her in and searing her down on an old sofa he had found. "Why are you human?" he asked biting his lip.

"I found an old house.. I've been cleaning it for the last three days.." She said quietly, running a hand through her hair. It was probably a mess. And she felt bad coming here for him, because the allure had obviously worn off.
"I can't change back.." She said quietly, pulling her legs up underneath her. She wrapped her arms around herself, looking down at the floor. She didn't want to tell him why she thought she couldn't change.
"Why don't you come see the house, Scotty? You can stay there instead of here. And there's a heater and airconditioning in all the rooms. It's a lot more comfortable." She said, looking up at him.

Scotty raised an eyebrow when she said she wasn't able to change back. He was confused by that, how could she not be able to change? It's her flippin species to change between human and snake. Something must be wrong.. he thought to himself looking at her worn body.
He nodded when she suggested him staying with her. He didn't like this place since Ace wasn't here, it felt to empty. It didn't feel his own, it was something that he shared with Ace he wouldn't feel right doing anything with her here. "Okay." he said with a smile, he opened his arms hoping that she would find comfort in his touch.

She hugged him tightly, burying her face in his chest. 'God, he's gonna hate me..' She thought, breathing in his scent. She took his hand, and lead him up the hill to the house. It was older, but it didn't look run down in the least. It looked like it had been built and just left there.
"I haven't gotten to the outside yet. I guess I'll dust all that before the sun comes back up.." She only had one room left to clean, and then she could start dusting the porch and the cobwebs off the front of the house. She would need to find a water hose to hose the moss off. She led him in, then closed the door quietly. The house looked like a show room it was so clean.
"Is it good enough?" She asked, leaning against the door.

He smiled for the first time in several days when he felt her arms wrap around him. He pulled her close and kissed the side of her head before she pulled away. When she grabbed his hand it fit perfectly with his own.
They walked a short distance and he was surprised when they came to the house. It was a lot nicer than the run down cabin he was living in and was in a better place. He squeezed her hand as she commented on the apperance of it, "It looks just fine." he said with a smile before they walked in side.
Scotty was surprised by the outside of the house but the inside was amazing. He didn't know how she got it so clean, he could practically eat off the floor and not worry about eating anything bad. "It is perfect." he said turning and looking at her.
He walked towards her and kissed her slowly, cupping her face and pulling them together. "Would you care to tell me why you haven't changed?" he asked wrapping his hands around her, holding onto her lower back and starring into her eyes.

She kissed him back, leaning closer. She felt him break the kiss, and she looked up at him, stroking his cheek. 'He has some really pretty eyes.' She thought, running a hand through his hair.
"I think.. I'm having a baby.." She said quietly, looking down at the floor. She realized she had worn a hole in her dress from kneeling down to clean the floors so much. "Oh, bother.." She whispered, poking her finger through the hole. She sighed, then looked back up at him.
"You're.. not mad, are you?" she asked, biting her lip.

Scotty was super surprised, getting a girl pregnant had never crossed his mind before. "How did this even happen?" he whispered not connecting the dots all the way. He had only ever had sex with one other person and that was Ace, and they didn't wear a condom. He hadn't even thought of it with Ollie.
"Why would I be mad at you?" he asked her softly pulling her into a protective hug. "It is just a surprise..never had really had to worry about getting someone pregnant." he said with a laugh kissing her gently. "I'm happy though...it gives me a reason to always be with you." he said with a wink and smile.

She leaned close to him, wrapping her arms around him. "I think you were right.. About me falling for you.. That and I can't raise a child alone.." She looked up at him, biting her lip. She couldn't deny there were feelings for him. Not that she could quite place her finger on what it was. But she felt like he made her happy. And she wanted to be with him.
"I was going to look at curtains, because I don't like these open windows." She said, pulling him gently to the couch. She curled up at his side, laying her head on his shoulder. "And this woman stopped me. She asked if I had ever modeled before. But I.. I've lived in the lake for years.. When I told her I couldn't, that I thought I was pregnant, she told me she wanted to take pictures of my belly. How weird is that?" She looked up at him, her eyes as black as ever. "She said something about keeping track of the baby growing, like a guide for other people or something. But I'm not.. human."

He smiled down at her, glad that he was right about her feelings. "I'm glad you have feelings for me, now I won't be alone." he said with a small chuckle. He brushed the hair off of her forehead and kissed it gently, wanting her to always be happy with him. Even if she is my hell..
He pulled her body close to his as they sat together on the couch. He liked this feeling, it reminded him of his first life...when he would hang out with his cousins and they would just have fun. The one time he had fun in that life.
"It would still probably be fine since I am human..well kinda." he said with a laugh." he kissed her gently, "We could always just see what happens."
