“That’s real cute, Xand.” Jack sneered. “You wanna play ‘twist the knife’? Fine. Cass might have left me for your sorry ass, but she’s carrying my kid. How’s that feel?”

"I think you can imagine." Xander said dryly, no emotion in his voice. "Looks like she doesn't want you anymore, either."

“There is no ‘looks like’.” Jack looked away. “She made that real f**king clear.”

"Guess we're both idiots, then." Xander sighed very slightly, feeling kind of bad for the way he'd treated Jack. But feeling bad and stopping were two different things

“Yeah, well,” Jack laughed shortly. “Already knew that.”
“Listen, get cleaned up and dressed already. I don’t like leaving Cass alone in that apartment.”

"A'right, a'right, geez." Xander rolled his eyes, stalking into his bedroom and slamming the door

Jack sighed, leaning against the wall next to the door. “So, how’d you know Cass’ pregnant?”

Xander winced, glad his friend couldn't see him. "I, uh.... Cars told me." he lied

“Cars?” Jack choked, before getting angry. “Is that supposed to be some kind of f**king joke? ‘Cause it isn’t funny. You talkin’ to the dead now, too?”

"Mmmhmm. Got the ouiji board and everything." Xander growled through the door. This at least, wasn't a lie. He tended to visit Carrie's grave and talk to her, and he tried out every method he heard about to contact the dead.

“You’re f**king…” Jack paused, fresh out of names to call him. “You gonna be able to find the apartment alright by yourself?”

"I'm crazy, Jack, not stupid." Xander sighed. "Y'get that?"

“Yeah, sure.” Jack lied smoothly. “A’right, I’m out. Call me or something if you don’t go or she won’t leave. I don’t like leaving her alone.”

"Mmhmm." Xander came out of the room, dressed and rinsed off. "Gotcha."

“Okay.” Jack hesitated for a moment before turning on his heel and almost sprinting to the front door. “Later.”

It didn't take long for Xander to get to Cassie's apartment. He knocked on the door, just loud enough to be heard. "Cass...?"

Cassandra lay hunched in a miserable little bundle on a mattress, staring at the dirty floor and not seeing it. She didn’t answer, didn’t react at all. After all, she’d been hearing and seeing Xander for the past two and a half days. If she ignored him long enough, this one would go away too.

"Cassie, It's me." xander called. "Let me in?" he tried not to plead

Cass whimpered, her first movement in hours, and swallowed hard. She tried to say the door was unlocked, but the words stuck in her throat. Not that it mattered, though, he wasn’t real.

Xander heard a noise that sounded suspiciusly like a whimper. "Alright, I'm coming in!" he prepared to try to kick the door once, but out of a sense of whimsy tried opening it first
