"O-Oh...um...yeah..cool..it's...whatever." Jack mumbled stiffening when Alex hugged him. Jack didn't do girls. He didn't do emotion. Okay, well a little but not in situations like this. He wrapped his arms around Alex, awkwardly at first, but then relaxed and gave her a true hug. "Um..it really isn't a big deal." He admitted with a sheepish, embarrassed smile. He looked toward the child in Mya's arms. He faintly wondered if that was safe but didn't comment on it. Instead he asked something else. "So...what's its name?" Jack peered curiously at the child from across the way.

Markus squeeled when Mya held him. 'Sissy! Sissy! Sissy!' he chanted mentally, sending it to Mya. They, of course, were not biologically related, however, Markus did feel like a brother to her. He remembered when mommy would take care of Mya. She had to be important to mommy. Whoever was important to mommy was important to Markus!
 
Mya giggled happily, gently poking his nose. "His name is Markus." She giggled. She thought it was kind of funny the little baby thought she was his sister. She was okay with that.

Alex let go after a moment, looking at Mya and Markus before looking upstairs. She smiled weakly at everyone, though, she started to feel the desolation of only minutes ago begin to creep back into her.
 
"Ohhhh." Jack nodded. He looked down to Alex, noticing that neither he, nor she, had made much of an attempt to let go of each other. Jack studied Alex's face closely. He glanced up the stairs she was staring at and understood instantly. He turned her face away, so she could see Markus. "She's still here because we have him. She's a part of him now." Jack said in a quiet whisper. That same thought pattern is what got him through the death of his own mother when the outbreak started. His parents, now dead, were never gone. He held them in his heart, although cold and guarded it may be.
 
Alex nodded faintly. Though caught off guard by Jack's sudden comment, it helped her relax. She rested her head against him subconsciously without realizing it, watching Craig talk softly to Kaley while helping her over to meet Markus. She smiled softy as Mya squeaked happily, tickling Markus gently.

Isaac looked down at Markus and the other new ones. He tought to himself: 'Turning them in would be easy, but... My friends would hate me for that. No, if i turn them in i get money! And i can use that money to help my friends!'
 
John looked at Meya holding the baby and he smiled, that was so cute. He watched little Markus smile up at her and it made him smile himself. It was so weird that new life was here because everybody was dying. This shows how great nature is, that even on the edge of extinction human's can still do this. Still fall in love and create life

Mya looked over at John. She gently grabbed his hand, pulling him down by her side. She giggled. "He's so cute.." She said, smiling brightly.

With Craig's gentle, guiding hand, Kasey gently touched Markus's hand. She recoiled a little, but smiled. She didn't want to hurt him, so she was happy just sitting there, listening to the others.
 
Isaac looked over at Mya. He saw her hand going towards John. "S...so eh. How's it going? I .. Eh WE haven't seen eachother in a long time." Isaac was still thinking about turning them in. This was the perfect moment. They were so distracted. They wouldn't even know it's coming.
 
Mya glanced up at Isaac. "It's been okay...dangerous. Busy." She used her other hand to tap Markus's nose gently, and giggled as she did so. She thought he was so adorable.
 
John held Mya's hand, blood pumping hard trough his chest, scared she might hear it... Silly thing how he had been almost dying this morning but now was worrying about Mya maybe hearing his heartbeat. He smiled at tiny Markus and then looked at Isaac, seeing the weird look in his eyes
 
Mya gently rested her head on his shoulder, giggling softly at little Markus. "Aleeeex!" Mya said, not looking up from the baby. "Where's Jaylin?"

Alex's entire form tensed a moment, unable to speak at first. "She went on a walk...sh-she'll be back after a wh-while." She said after clearing her throat. She looked at Jack, then nodded slightly towards the stairs, as if asking him to follow. She turned, going up the stairs one at a time. She paused at the top, staring at Jaylin's door. Would she turn? Could she, Alex, have the heart to put her best friend...dare she say sister...out of her misery if Jaylin did turn? Would she ever be able to bring Jaylin back? She shuddered faintly, pushing through the door and finding Craig on the ground, just sitting there. "Hey..."

Craig looked up, nodded once, then looked back down.

Kasey sighed softly. "Umm..." She wanted to ask Alex something, but she just heard the girl leave. She knew Jaylin wasn't going to be able to help...she just felt it. Leaning back against the couch, she sighed softly.

Jack watched everyone fawn over Markus. He felt a smile trying to form on his face but kept it at bay. He promised himself no attachments, not since his mother and father were taken away by the infection. Jack was pulled from his thoughts by Mya's question. He felt his heart stop as he glanced at Alex for her response. She handled it well...sort of...okay not really, but Mya believed it and didn't question her. Jack was silently thanking the heavens that Mya didn't ask anything else.
He noticed Alex look towards the stairs and then at him. He gave a small nod and followed her up. He stood behind her as she walked into the room Jaylin was in. He let her take her time. He knew exactly how hard this was, only Jack was by himself when it happened. He didn't have anyone like Alex did. Once he was inside, Jaylin's body was covered in the sheets she was in and Craig was sitting silently.

Markus was giggling and squealing. He loved Mya. She was so fun!!

Jack stood next to Alex, across from Craig. He had a hand on Alex's shoulder waiting for her to make the first move.

Beneath the sheets, Jaylin's eyes flashed open. They were completely black. There was no iris, no white, just black. Her skin was deathly pale and black veins shone stark against her skin. She sat up slowly the sheet fell from her body. Jack froze in place. He pushed Alex behind him as Jaylin turned her head towards Alex with an eerily blank face.

Alex's entire body tensed. "Don't!" She grabbed Jack from behind, wrapping her arms tightly around him to keep him from doing anything. "Wait..." Her voice dropped.
Yet again, her blonde hair was black, her red eyes blue. She was waiting...

Craig cursed softly. He hadn't expected her to come back so quickly.

Mya laughed softly. "You're so adorable!" She giggled.
 
Isaac struggled with the feeling. He knew it wasn't a good thing to do. But, he needed the cash. He needed the food. He could even buy a proper bunker! "I'm going outside guys. Take some fresh air." He walked towards the stairs and opened the door onto the roof. He grabbed his phone and tried to call. "Hello?" "Yes, its me dad. I have some people for you. Oh they are DYING to meet you."
 
Mya looked up as Isaac left. She sighed, then as she looked down to Markus, her smile returned. She giggled and poked his nose, smiling softly. "You're just so little.." she giggled.

Craig once more helped Kasey over, helping her place a gently finger in Markus's hand.

Kasey was shaking, partially from the unknowing of what was going on and partially because she was actually very cold at the moment.
 
Alex shifted, stepping in front of Jack and walking closer to Jaylin, one hand up. "J-Jaylin? Are you okay?" Her voice was quiet and shaky.

Helicopters whirred in the distance, three teams already responding to Isaac's call.

Mya's eye twitched at a sudden buzzing sound of helicopter blades, but she stayed focused on Markus. She rocked him softly, giggling.
 
Isaac knew that they would try to escape. He needed to make them follow him. "Guys! Rescue teams are coming! They have loads of food and an amazing camp! We have to follow them. Its our only chance!"
 
"Never....better..." Jaylin spoke in a raspy voice. It sounded like she hadn't had anything to drink in weeks. Her black irises moved around, her head titled slightly when she would look in a certain direction. Jaylin stood slowly, body wobbling not used to standing after death. She crouched, hunching over like she was ready to spring into attack at any moment. Jaylin growled low in her throat, black blood dripping from the bite mark in her shoulder. Her veins shown stark against her now pail skin, as the inky black blood would drip through her teeth and down her chin. 'Hungry....' was the only thought ringing in Jaylin's head. She titled her head up slightly, sniffing the hair. She could smell it: new life. She could smell the quick heart beat and the laughter of the newborn downstairs. She could also smell the familiarity she had with it but it didn't register in her starving mind. The only thing to click was "food." She had to eat. Jaylin was starving. Her eyes met Alex's own and for a moment, Jaylin stilled. She didn't so much as breath as her intention became clear in the silence. Jaylin's gaze flashed to the stairs and in the next second she was running for them, for the life downstairs that was just begging her to end it.
 
"JAYLIN!" Alex screamed, dashing after her, but only managed to stumble at the door and slide across the floor.

Mya frowned, standing, still holding Markus, and went outside. "What are you talking about?" She asked Isaac as she closed the door. "There's no 'rescue teams' because there's no government."

Kasey shifted uncomfortably, now alone in the living room.

Craig stared at the bed. "How.." He looked at Alex, then Jack, then the bed again. He groaned, covering his face.
 
Isaac looked at Mya, now a little mad. " They are rescue teams alright!?" He waved up in the air to the choppers then he grabbed Mya and made a run for it.
