"My father doesn't really care about his employees. One man dies another one will fill his place. If he held me responsible, he wouldn't do anything. That's how much he doesn't care about the people who work for him. All he cares about is the job getting done." Brady told him and set the pizza in her hand down.

Morph stared at her for one long second. He had a fleeting image of a row of her father's employees taking one another's place at the job Connor used to be doing, and him having to kill every next one of them to keep Brady safe from harm. "Is there any way to get out of that vicious circle?" he asked, for a moment forgetting about pizza.

Brady just sat there. She had thought of trying to get out of her father's business for a long time. But every scenario she'd come up with ended up badly. "I wish..."

Morph studied her for a brief instant, then raised his hand to carefully run through her hair. "It's gonna be okay," he said in a low voice, wanting to believe it a lot as he said it.

"I hope so," Brady said and looked at him with a small smile.

((Few days after 'For Sure...'))
Brady had held off telling Kevin about being pregnant for a few days. She thought it might bring up a situation like when they went to the beach and she really didn't want that to happen again. But now she was holding it off for too long, or so she thought. And she sat on the couch with the manila envelope in her hands, waiting for Kevin to arrive, which she really didn't know when he would...

(( after "A cigarette break"... if anybody ever replies to it, of course ))
It had become a pleasant habit for Kevin already to go to Brady's place every time after work; he honestly couldn't remember when was the last time he'd been to his own apartment - he spent virtually all of his time at Brady's.
Returning from work this time, he found her sitting in the bedroom. "Hey there," smiling, he walked over and leaned down to give her a kiss.

Brady smiled slightly and kissed him back, before she looked down at the envelope in her hands. Her hands shaking slightly from nerves. "Um...I need to show you something..."

"What is it?" Morph asked, sitting down next to her.

Brady looked at the envelope for a moment more, before handing it to him, just staying quiet.

Kevin stiffled the natural urge to ask 'what is it?' as he took the envelope - he'd probably find out in a moment, so there was no actual need in asking just now. Still, he was mildly bewildered by the way Brady was behaving, and it showed on his face as he opend the envelope.
He glanced inside and took a sheet of paper out. Glancing at it, he already knew what it was - he'd seen it before. Only this time he wasn't exactly happy to see it. "What?!" he exclaimed, nearly dropping it.
(( off to lunch ))

Brady jumped slightly at his exclamation and her eyes started to water. Not talking because she knew her voice would crack and she'd just start to sob uncontrollably.

Kevin stared at her. "Okay, just calm down..." he touched her back, not knowing how to explain his reaction, but he didn't want her to freak out at that. "... Since when?"

Brady looked at him, "I found out three days ago," Brady said, a few tears slipping down her cheeks, bringing a hand up she wiped them away, "And I'm two months along."

"Two months?" Morph echoed. That must have been around when they had started dating. But he was careful about protection... except for one time. "Wait... but..." his mind was racing. "You told me it was a safe day."
