JP - Yule, are you...?

“Thanks, Riven.” Frisk said as Haven was taken off the chopper and whisked off to the women’s ward of the hospital the Underground had set up.

Piritta stretched and cracked her neck. “The Meta Underground is always interesting.” She mused.

Sorley tried to keep close to Gelf without crowding Yule.

“Hey Yule, I’m Kiana and this is Sorley.” Kiana introduced, feeling sober after reading Clonestone’s file.

“Hi…” Yule replied in a very soft voice.

“I’m sorry I never helped you before…I didn’t even know…I mean…uhm…” Gelf went silent, unsure of what to say now.

Sorley gently squeezed Gelf’s hand comfortingly. “Hi.” He said to Yule.

“We didn’t know MegaCorp had you.” Kiana said simply. “We literally found out yesterday and Gelf was packing a bag to go after you the next minute.”

“I’ve been there for…I…I don’t know how long. It’s been so long.” Yule practically whispered. “I…I need to go with them. I need to make sure Haven is okay.” Her voice sounded frantic with worry.

“She’s with Frisk,” Gelf answered, gently resting a hand on Yule’s shoulder. “She’s in the best hands possible here. Frisk will help her and she’s got other medics and healers here to help.”

“But…” Yule moved away, not wanting to be touched at the moment.

“Sorry,” Gelf said, pulling her hand away.

“It’s okay.” Sorley said softly, spreading his hands in a gesture to show he meant no harm.

Kiana frowned, noticing how Yule moved away, her slightly rounded stomach, the pieces clicking into place.

“Yule, are you…?” Gelf glanced at her sister’s stomach.

“Yeah,” Yule answered quickly. “I don’t know who the father is. I just know it’s one of…of those soldiers or a meta they sent in to visit us. I don’t know…”

“It’s okay, you don’t have to know.” Gelf replied and took a slow step toward her sister. “Is it okay if I hug you? It’s been so long…”

Yule only nodded for a moment, but was very rigid when the hug happened.

“Those fuckers.” Kiana muttered under her breath, furious at what happened to Yule.

“Do you want me to go?” Sorley asked Gelf softly.

“No, I’ll stay with Yule for now.” Gelf said and gently guided her sister to wait for Frisk to get done. She wanted to catch up with her sister, learn all she could, maybe even help her a bit.

Alex decided to give Yule some space for now. Walking past her he patted her on the shoulder as he brought Susi to one of the doctors to be looked over.

Other than a few scrapes and bruises, plus a little malnourishment, Susi was okay. The moment the doctor let her leave, she pounced on Alex and pulled him to a private room. “We are making up for lost time!”

Alex did not resist just pulled her into the shower first.

Sorley glanced at Yule, not sure if she was comfortable with him around.

Yule looked at Sorley. “Y-you look familiar. Did you live at the facility too?” She asked. “Don’t remember a guy with red hair like yours…”

Sorley felt ill, realizing Yule probably meant his father and he hated to think what that monster did to her. “No, but-”

“Sorley dyes his hair red.” Kiana said. “His hair is naturally black.”

“That sounds a lot like the creepy guy they’d give girls to somethings…” Yule whispered.

“What was his name?” Gelf asked.

“Clonestone, I think.” Yule replied. “They were going to give me to him, but thanks to Haven, a kind guard lied about us being sick so we got quarantined.”

“Clonestone was cloned from Canestone who is our biological father. But Sorley is nothing like him.” Kiana said. “I can’t stress enough how Sorley is the complete opposite of that sadistic, raping monster. See how gentle he is with Gelf? They were together for months before he went to bed with her and the dogs could tell they both wanted to for ages before he did. Even now he acts like he’s afraid of breaking her.”

Sorley blushed and wished his power was to go invisible.

Gelf giggled softly and hugged Sorley. “That’s nothing to be embarrassed about, Sorley. It just shows how good of a man you are.” She chimed and kissed his cheek.

Yule smiled softly. “That’s good.”

Sorley’s blush deepened, but he wrapped an arm around Gelf in a hug.

“They’re a cute couple.” Kiana shrugged.

Yule nodded and headed for Haven’s room, following her scent.
