[Cameron Kincaid]

Damn...Whore? How supportive...

"Hmmpf...Ya' think? Sounds like he's retaining water, feeling bloated and in need of a bottle of extra strength Midol to me."

He smiles brightly, seeing that his joke at least put a small trace of a smile on Addison's face as he once again watched Cosette still running about, seemingly never slowing down even for a moment. The smile on his face slowly dissipated though, thinking back to what Addison had said about the alien abduction thing before her father left the room. He knew Addison could come up with some crazy stuff sometimes but...Hopefully she didn't really believe that was how Cosette was born did she?...Looking back to her again, his eyes narrowed a bit as he spoke up on the subject, asking her about it all for the first time since the child was brought into this world...

"So, now that angry man is gone...Wanna tell me the real deal behind 'Sette? I mean...The alien thing was mildly funny and entertaining to hear but, let's get the truth out there already. There's gotta be a better explanation than the alien thing. I know you trust me enough to tell the truth about it. Come on, give it to me. I bet Lorelai knows doesn't she?"

[Addison Grey]

"He's still upset over Mom's death, that's all." Addison responds, standing up to chase Cosette, and put her on her lap. "I honestly don't know who her father is Cam," she admits, putting on a smile for Cosette, who was completely oblivious to the situation at hand. "I literally just woke up pregnant one day, and went completely crazy over it." Interesting choice of words by Addison here, "But then I saw a special on the Discovery Channel, claiming that women throughout the world have had a similar experience. They blamed the happenings on alien abductions, and how they implanted eggs into the wombs of unsuspecting women. Call it far-fetched, but I really don't see any other logical explanation. People usually remember who they have s-e-x with, right? Heck, I was barely going to turn nineteen when I had Cosette here, and I honestly don't remember being with anyone prior to it."

She the pauses, and gives Cosette a silly smile to make her laugh, "Besides, for being only four she speaks English exceptionally well, and tends to judge situations accurately. She seems to know when I'm not feeling well, and likes to cheer me up, isn't that right Cosette-y?" Cosette giggles as she gives her mother a hug, "Aliens have brains, perhaps Cosette is an alien baby. Mom used to say Cosette was far and beyond the usual smartness for a baby of her age." She then looks back at Cameron, giving him a face to know that she wasn't joking about this. "Really,there isn't any other logical explanation, but I still love her. She is mine after all."

[Cameron Kincaid]

My God. Alien abduction and impregnation? Sci-Fi channel type of stuff from what he was hearing. He almost felt like he had stumbled out of the "world" that he knew so well, into another one somewhere...Somewhere like...Ohio or something...But the one nagging thought in the back of his head was that Addison never even mentioned what he himself had on his mind about the entire situation. A possible answer to all of those unanswered questions. His eyes watched as the two interacted, Cosette giving her Mom a nice hug, as they giggled and played for a few moments before Addison's words came to a halt, instantly cuing him for his response, as a look of inquiry came over his facial features hearing the time frame of the entire ordeal...

"...19 huh..."

His words almost hung in the air a bit as his eyebrow raised a bit...Staring in Addison's direction as their sights locked onto one another...Much different type of gazes from the both of them it was...Addison's approaching that of a much more inquisitive and lost look, while Cam's was more suggestive...Almost as if to try to push her towards thinking the precise thing he was thinking about...Which...Apparently wasn't working...

"So...NO memory of being with anyone at all? I mean...NO ONE? I mean, don't get me wrong here. I'm not trying to call you a whore or anything like that. I'd never do that Addy and you know that, and I don't think of you that way either. But, I gotta side with your Dad a bit here. That's just not...Plausible. Possible? Who knows. Maybe it is and maybe it's not. But...There's gotta be something. An old boyfriend back in high school who might have been just short term? Someone you met after graduation?...Someone you've known...For years and years maybe? Maybe something unexpected happened between you two or...Something?...And you possibly just can't remember..."

His eyes almost bore through Addison as he sat there, not moving a single muscle, awaiting her response, hoping she'd get at least part of the message by his body language as well as his words.

[Addison Grey]

"I was never with anyone in high school, just around our group Cam, and you know that. Of course, I've hooked up with a person or two, for very short terms, I mean, very, but they never got close enough to actually DO something, you know?" Cosette then jumped off Addison's lap, and jumped up on the couch to sit next to Cameron. She giggled as she looked up at "the Natural." Addison then watched the pair sitting next to eachother, and began to notice subtle similarities between the two. Giving them a peering eye, she began to compare hair color, skin color, and facial features. They looked oddly similar. "No...that's impossible." She thought to herself as she turned her recliner back around, stood up and headed towards the kitchen. "You probably want something to drink, yes?"

[Cameron Kincaid]

A giant smile instantly found it's way to his face as Cosette gazed up into his eyes, a peculiar smile on her face as she did. Seconds later the sound of giggling could be heard from her lips, as he reached over, the very tip of his index finger lightly touching the very tip of her nose, almost missing Addison's words...

"Um...Yea...But nothing major Lil' Mama...Don't wanna get plastered in front of you know who....You know...?"

Addison slightly nodded her head in his direction, confirming she knew exactly what he was speaking of. No need to subject the child to both constant uses of four letters words AND a drunk professional wrestler now is there?

Seconds later Cam's attention turned momentarily back towards the television as Addison exited the room, undoubtedly headed to retrieve the drink for him. She was always considerate in that way so it was no real surprise she didn't even waste a single second on waiting to do so.

He stared into the television, watching as the credits had begun to roll at the end of the X-Men cartoon Cosette had been watching for the past half hour. A long and drawn out yawn had escaped his mouth, just as he could feel Cosette moving closer in his direction, causing for his eyes to fall upon her once again, seeing the inquisitive and curious look in her eyes, he began to notice the make up of her facial features and structure..Her hair color...And especially her eyes caught his attention. They seemed familiar to him almost, as if she was the spitting image of someone he knew but couldn't quite put his finger on it...

"...What's wrong 'Sette?..."

There was a brief pause before the child's words could be heard...

"Are you mommy's boyfriend now?"

"..."

"Huh? Wha....No baby, we're just friends like we always were...Ha...No...God no, just...No..."

"You and Mommy always together."

"Well...On occasion. When she's got time to..."

"You don't like my Mommy? What's wrong with her?"

"Wha...I didn't say I didn't like h..."

Before he could even finish his explanation on the subject, he could hear Addison's footsteps bringing her back into the room, drink in hand. Thank freakin' god he thought. This girl was going to drill him like a fuckin' captured double agent or something. Extending his hand to meet that of Addison's, he recieved the glass from her, shaking his head as he spoke before even attempting a sip from the glass...

"She sure has gotten talkative since last I saw her...How do you deal with it? It's like a mini-version of 'Nando. Never stopping."

[Addison Grey]

Honestly, Addison didn't know how to answer the question. her mother usually took care of Cosette while Addison was out, trying to achieve her dream, and she died, well...Addison decided to take a break from wrestling for a while, to help take care of the family. "Pish-posh, pish-posh. We're ladies, and as such, we tend to talk more often then the other species." She gives Cameron a wink as she hands Cosette a cup of orange juice. She then paused herself for a moment, and feeling embarrassed admits, "I feel silly saying this, but I never noticed that you and Cosette look very, very much alike."

[Cameron Kincaid]

Just having taken a sip from the glass, he paused instantly hearing what Addison had just said…It was almost like she finally got all the hints he was tossing out at her but…Not in the way that he was thinking. Not even allowed for the liquid to vanish, he just held it there as he stared in Addison’s direction with a deer caught in the headlights look on his face. Finally his attention turned to Cosette once again, glancing her facial features over just as he the first sip of his drink was swallowed. He nodded slightly, looking back to Addison, then back to Cosette again as he replied with a trace of laughter in his voice, although clearly forced…

“Heh…I…I guess we kind of do huh?...Weird right?...I kind of noticed that too but…Didn’t wanna say anything in front of your dad. He’d think I was some damn idiot more than he already does ya’ know?...”

He allowed for his words to sink in a bit, looking back across to Addison again before going on a bit more.

“Which is ridiculous to even suggest…”

“Isn’t it?...”

“I mean…”

A small moment of laughter, as the demeanor of his facial expression suggested he was possibly feeling a bit on the uncomfortable side about what he was about to say. Then…

“…I mean…That’d mean…You…And I…And…Back before…Well…You know…?"

“And it’s not like that ever happened…”

“…”

“Right…?”

[Addison Grey]

Addison, completely forgetting about her episode as Alexis just a few days before, questioned what Cameron was trying to say. "Cam, we never had sex. You're absurd to even mention it! Yes, yes, I admit, you two look REALLY similar, but come on Cam, me and you?" She then looks away, "I mean, even if it was you, you think I would have remembered it."

A smirk then grew on Addison's face, as she looked at Cameron with a glaring eye. "Now you see why we should get married..." she then tip-toes towards cam, and whispers into his ear so Cosette wouldn't hear, "...bitch?" Alexis pulls herself away from Cameron, biting her lower lip, as she looked him up and down. "You can't escape me now, we had a CHILD CAMERON."

Cosette began to clap her hands in excitement as she run up, and hugged Alexis's leg. "Alexis, you're back!" she sounds thrilled. "Let's go play dollies?"

Alexis gave Cosette a motherly smile, "In a little bit honey, Alexis has some things to take care of, okay?" Cosette nodded as she ran off to her room to get her playthings. "Now that she's out of the way," she comes back, giving Cameron a stare, "Now you see why Addison needs you? Why Addison loves you? We had a child, she needs someone to help her with this child! Our mother is gone Cameron," she places her hand on Cameron's chest seductively, "And she needs help Cameron, and god damn it, I'm going to get it for her!" She was whisper-yelling as she said this, to not startle Addison's father. Wrapping her arms around Cameron, she leaned in for a kiss, "You know you want Mommy, Cameron. You have a family now. Support it."

[Cameron Kincaid]

Oh God no…No…Not this shit again!

“Oh no, no you don’t! Wait!”

Not even thinking of giving her any time to trap him on that couch, his arms rose, clasping his hands around her wrists as he quickly found his way to his feet. He noticed that sick smile on her face from a few weeks back during that first rape attempt, and he had no intention on going through that again. Especially with a child running around and her grandfather in the next room trying to sleep. They almost began to struggle with one another at this point, Cam making sure not to let her into his personal space as he back pedaled a few feet backwards before calling out without breaking eye contact with Addi…Err…Alexis…

“Cosette!...’Sette baby! Come and tell your psycho bitch friend to leave Mr. Kincaid alone will ya…?”

“Please. She won’t save you now Cam. Besides like I said, we three need you. Now don’t fight it anymore and just give in!”

“Wha…You three? Who in the hell are you talking a…”

And it suddenly dawns on him what she meant. This bitch was beyond a lunatic, even suggesting something like that. A look that was nearing that of fright found it’s way to his face, as he released hold of her wrists, freeing himself as he almost darted behind the couch, leaving her on the opposite side, yet still approaching as he continued to speak…

“Look…Mr. Grey is in the other room now…Let’s not…Do anything irrational here. And what about Cosette? You really want her to witness a rape and an ass kicking in one night?...”

“Ass kicking? Who’s going to be getting their ass kicked Cameron?”

“You! If you don’t keep on the opposite side of this couch. Look…”

He quickly glanced back towards the door where Mr. Grey was undoubtedly sleep by now…

“You two kids hush all that ruckus will ya’? Matlocks on!!!

Okay maybe not… only a second later his eyes locking with hers again…

“Calm the hell down. It’s not gonna happen…The fuck are we supposed to do? Get hitched and then you vanish so the next day Addison wakes up and puts a bullet in me because she “reappeared” just as I’m about to position myself between her legs? That’s stupid. AND suicidal. No way , no how, so just drop it already and….And go back to whatever fictional world you come from. “

His lock on her was broken for a split second, hearing Cosette’s re-entrance back into the room, still playing and running with some sort of toy in her hand. He looked back to Alexis again, going on as she had begun to make her way around the couch in pursuit, his counter actions carrying him around the opposite way, making sure to keep as much space as he could while he spoke again, his words almost in a whispering tone so as not to allow Cosette to hear him…

“And…And look, we don’t want to spook ‘Sette now do we? She just lost her grandmother, she doesn’t need this type of drama…And if…And if what you say is true about her being mine then…Raping me’s not gonna really help the cause you know what I mean?...Try talking for a change you over assertive bitch.”

“…”

Before either of them could respond again, Cosette's voice could be heard ringing out almost...

"Look Cameron! Transformers! Transformers!"

He merely scoffed at the mention of the toys in her grasps, shaking his head as he commented under his breath...

"Transformer huh...How fuckin' ironic given the situation...Fuck...Yea I see, that's nice baby that's nice..."

“But…Since we’re on the subject anyway…And it’s obvious there’s something to what you’re saying…I might as well ask now…About Cosette…Are you sure?...Like what percentage positive…?”

His eyebrow raised as soon as the final word of his question had escaped his mouth, jumping a bit as she had feigned a lunge attack towards him, as her slow and methodical steps continued to carry her on her quest to capture Cameron Kincaid. Poor guy. Lorelai better give it up with all that he’s going through lately. At this point he'd EARNED some Boston* pussy I'd think.

[Addison Grey]

"One hundred percent positive," Alexis answers as she grits her teeth together, "You're the only person we've ever been with; heck, Addison still thinks she's a virgin, even though we had a freaking baby!"

Cosette continues to play with her toy, transforming Bumblebee between his car and robot form. Laughing at her mommy and daddy fighting. "Alexis, you're funny."

Alexis merely gives her daughter a friendly smile while still trying to keep her eye on Cameron. "I don't plan on r-a-p-i-n-g you," she says, trying to keep her smile, "R-a-p-i-n-g you is completely out of the question at the moment. Addison just needs someone she can trust. Someone she can love. Someone who can help her. Cameron, you're every one of those things to Addison. She trusts you. She loves you. She trusts you can help her. Cameron, we need you!"

Just as Alexis yelled her final statement, she completely had a change of attitude, and turned herself away from Cameron, nursing her head in her hands, brushing hair away from her face. "Really Cameron, even though I did happen to have a baby, I still believe I'm a virgin to some extant." What? Did she just continue like nothing happened? Turning around again, to face Cameron, he gives him a smile, "You would think a girl would remember her 'first time,' it's like a monumental moment." Addison then begins to notice the fear in Cameron's face as she looks at him. Giggling a bit, she gives him a look, "What's wrong Cameron? You can't be that surprised that I've never had s-e-x."

Cosette then gave Addison a look, and grew somewhat disappointed, "Aww...Alexis went back home. We were going to play dollies together."

Addison had assumed that Alexis was merely Cosette's imaginary friend, and took a knee towards her, giving her a smile, "Aw, well, maybe she was sleepy Cosette, if you want, I can play with you for a while. I can't remember the last time I played dollies. I'm sure Cameron here wouldn't mind himself." She gave him a wink to come and join them.

Cosette let out a displeasing sigh, "But Alexis has that funny accent, it makes Bumblebee love Barbie."

[Cameron Kincaid]

And just like that…The madness was over?

He watched the two of them In shock still over hearing confirmation of what he had wondered for years now. Or did he? Was Alexis’ words to be trusted? Or was she merely attempting to find a way for her to get more chances to rape Cam at will by having him be around more? He really didn’t know and couldn’t say just yet. But what he COULD do was at least let Addison know what was going on in his own thoughts. She deserved to know if it was possible. Or at least he thought so.

Still with a look of shock in his facial features, he finds himself back to the couch, slowly sitting down while not taking a eye off of Addison in fear of Alexis making yet another appearance this evening. After a few seconds, he was once again seated on the couch, both Cosette & Addison staring in his direction as they awaited him to join them in their “playtime”…But…He only sat motionless with a blank look on his face, knowing that this was as good a time as any to say what he had to say.

“Um…I think playing with dollies time may have to wait actually…Uhh…”

Watching both of their faces seemingly take on an inquisitive look on them, he lets out a long sigh before finishing…

“Wha…What if I told you…*Gulp*…That ahh…I DO remember whether or not your first time was monumental…?”

“…”

“…Seeing as…How…I was…There…”

A blank look instantly crosses Addison’s face, as does his own. Then as he leaned back against the cushion of the couch, raising his hand towards his temple as he began a almost massaging motion with his hand…

“I think I may…Need another drink now…The strong stuff too…”
