Cass stifled a yawn as they slowed to a stop at a red light in a town some sixty miles outside of Cold Creek. It had barely been an hour since they’d left everyone and she was already fighting the urge to call Frank. She missed her pack more than she’d anticipated but it was worth it to have Xander all to herself- Carrie free. God, was it worth it.
She scratched at the thick bandages around her wrists, mentally thanking Randy for the billionth time. She’d grown rather fond of the doctor, all things considered. He’d been incredibly patient with her even through her fits and had even gotten her weaned off of the worst of her addictions. More importantly, though, he had brought her a pregnancy test after a week of what she realized in hindsight was morning sickness and promised not to tell anyone.
Cass grinned a little, her hand fluttering to her stomach as a woman with a stroller passed the car on the sidewalk. She turned towards Xander and flicked off the music before tucking a stray piece of hair behind his ear. “Xand, how do you feel about kids?"

"Kids?" Xander blinked, looking over at her. He was surprised to hear her say anything after the last silent hour of driving. "Depends on the kid, I guess."

Cass sighed. "I miss Frank."

"No." Cass sighed again, picking at the bandages on her arm.

Cass bit her lip, staring out the window again.

Xander pulled the car into the parking lot of an out of the way restaurant, glancing over at her

Xander sat for a few seconds, staring ahead before getting out of the car.
