"The massacres." Scar added to Martels list of the things the military had done. "And yes, she even told me I would have to bribe her. I mean, what sort of things does one woo a woman with? It's not like I've ever tried, you know."

"Well, I don't know!" Martel said angrily. She sighed in order to calm herself down. "Try expensive perfumes and dresses and jewerly. Maybe a gourmet meal. It's the least she'll expect."

(Gasp! -point- Godzilla reply!)
Dante chuckled inwardly at the thought of Scar actually standing by her as she carried his baby. Sure, he agreed to woo and romance her, but him actually helping her carry it to term was never discussed. And she doubted he would even think of it, anyway. Such a barbarian isn't fit to be a husband, she mused.
Before she could open her mouth to respond, she heard Mustang make a sardonic comment about her getting 'knocked up.' Rage began to boil within her. Admittedly, she was overreacting; it was just a stupid remark. But she was in no mood for his idiocy. Thankfully, Archer took care of the wretched dog for her before she could get worked up. "These foolish humans are becoming more barbaric and uncouth each generation," she agreed with Archer with a sultry chuckle.
Moments later, Pride walked in with a bushel of colorful herbs and leaves. Perfect timing! "I think I'll take the medicine with another cup of tea, Pride," she told him. Bradley nodded and began preparing another cup of tea for his master, making sure to add two or three medicinal herbs to it.
Dante was thumbing through a book at the table while sporadically sipping her tea when Archer came back into the kitchen. Looking up, she was pleasantly surprised to see the colonel offering her a rose, and even more when he revealed the box of chocolates. "What a pleasant surprise!" she exclaimed with a smile as she accepted his gifts. "How sweet of you. But you didn't have to do this for me. I can't imagine how expensive this must have been..."
Dante was giggling inwardly. Not only would she soon have Scar romancing her, but Archer was doing it do! She would have to exploit this as long as she could before the time came to abort the child. Scar wouldn't appreciate her going back on her word, but what did she care?

Martel looked at the clock and sighed. "Well, I have to go upstairs and take another shower, get dressed for work, and hopefully squeeze in an hour or two of Charmed before I have to go" she told Havoc and Scar. Heading into the kitchen to put her glass in the sink, she saw Archer seducing Dante. "Okay then, couple from hell" she said, nearly silently. Placing the glass into the sink, Martel went back upstairs and got some clothes that she could wear at the club.

Barry ignored the ones in the kitchen as he walked by, still sprinkled with remnants of blood from working late at the butcher shop as he spent his sweet time looking in the fridge. He grabbed the open carton of milk and then started to look in the cabinets for a glass. After satiating his thirst he blinked at the two and gave a little unsettling grin.
"Have a big order in the morning. I think its a barbecue.." He chuckled and went into the living room to relax infront of the tv for a couple of hours before worrying about a shower. Hey, his wife had had a reason to nag at him! Luckily, she was gone forever and he felt he could deal with these people.
The thin man suddenly walked back into the kitchen and stared closely at a note posted on the fridge and cursed under his breath. "I have another meeting with that shrink tomorrow! I just saw him yesterday!" He grumbled grabbing the paper and crushed it in his hand before dropping it in the trash and went back to the television.

After taking a shower and getting dressed in a long sleeve shirt and black jeans, Martel went back downstairs. She was going to tell Havoc to rest while he could. But her words got caught in her throat when she saw Barry. "What the hell?!" she said, staring at him and seeing the blood. "If that blood wasn't from already dead animals, I'm calling the police. Nothing against you, but I have to think about more than just myself" she told the butcher/former serial killer. Or at least, she hoped he was a former serial killer.

Barry waved his hand looking very uninterested, or somewhat unamused. "No, just a bunch of animals. I came in late from the butcher shop. Between you guys, work, and these stupid psychiatrists, I don't have time for any real fun." He sighed as he turned the channel to a horror movie and cracked a grin. "Atleast I still get some slight amusement from time to time."
He then turned slightly to look at Martel and arched a brow. "We get very caring about ourselves when there's suddenly someone else on the line, huh? The last thing I need is those other guys on my back. If I killed someone, it wouldn't be someone in this house, you'd all just point the finger at me immediately, and being caught isn't fun.."

"Look, I know you haven't killed anyone in this house....Though if you want to kill Archer or Dante in eight months, hell, I'll even help you" Martel said to him. "But....ever since I found out I was pregnant, I've never felt safe, not really". She shook her head, trying to shake the thought from her head. Touching her eyes, she felt a tear drop onto her cheeks. Whipping it away she hissed slightly.

Barry blinked seeming to be actually surprised at the tear.. Then he burst out laughing. "What's the difference in a human life? Why is one life more worthwhile then another just because it's not had a chance to do something wrong or evil? Don't worry, you're safe around me.. somewhat. " He chuckled and turned back to the television. He tried to keep a straight face, but started to snicker again.

Any feelings that Martel felt that were making her so upset were gone, replaced by anger. When Barry sat down, she walked over to him and punched him in the face before kicking him in the gut. "Word of advice" she said, her voice dripping with venom. "Watch what you say before you talk to a pregnant woman".

Barry blinked and winced holding his cheek where she'd punched him and stood frowning. He grabbed her hair to pull her closer, making her remember that he was stronger than he looked, handling hundreds of pounds of meat daily. His calm face a moment ago was replaced with a look of malice. "That really hurt!" He stared then let go of her and shrugged with a chuckle. "You're lucky I prefer my women a little rough, not just the awful naggy types who never shut up."

Martel rolled her eyes at the man and started towards the stairs. As she headed to upstairs, she raised her middle finger at Barry. Finally she went upstairs and into the rec room. She sat on the couch and turned on the TV, finding a channel that was showing a marathon of Charmed. Thankfully the episode that was one was one of her favorites.

(HOLY CRAP! I knew you said I might be behind but, MAN! Sorry about not getting on earlier, I had to go over some scholarships I'm applying for.)
Greed struted out of his room whispering a few choice curse words and rubbing his bedsores. Looking to the staircase he saw that nutjob, Barry walk towards the padeo. Not even looking at him or giving him a simple greeting, Greed worked his way around the freakshow and went to find Martel.

When the episode went onto a commercial, Martel decided to stretch a little. After all, she was walking all the way to Hades Street. She was a little surprised when she bump into Greed. "Greed" she said, staring at him and shaking her head. "Hi..you looking for something?" she asked, noticing the look on his face.
((Hey, it's no problem. Just try to come on Friday and Saturday nights when you can))

"Yeah," he groaned still rubbing his back, "you actually. I need something to do, it feels like I've been in my room for a week or something and my back is killing me!"

"Try painkillers, they helped me" she told him flatly. Then she sighed and asked, "Well, what do you want me for? You know, I owe you for my life and the life of my friends and a lot more. So whatever you want, I'm up for it."

"Mind walking on back?", Greed asked. Normally he would've just done what she adviced and took a painkiller, but he just remembered he recently finished a keg of beer before leaving his room and he didn't want a repeat of last New Year's Day.

"Walking on your back? No" Martel told him. But she stared at him and said, "But, I can give you a massage, just come with me to the rec room. I want to at least watch one more episode of Charmed before I have to go to work". She groaned slightly as she felt another assult of her stomach from the inside, grabbing it tightly.

"Sure thing, when ever you're ready." Plopping down on the coach with a grunt, crossing his legs on a nearby footstool.

Sitting down next to him, Martel began to massage her boss/lover's back. "You know" she said, looking at him while rubbing at a knot in his back. "When this is all over, we can always get back together. In fact...." She whispered in his ear. "We can get back together tonight. One last time for a little while". Waiting for his response, she returned to her job.
