Continuing "Next Generation"

"Yeah, and then she would finally have a father who loves her and cares for her," Lee replied smoothly with a nod.

-------

"You never know; he might be crushing on a girl right underneath your nose," Fajah informed him with a daring smirk. "You should know how wild and crazy teenagers can be."

(Wanna chat now?)

"Yeah" Rod smirked as he then kissed her

-

"Nah, he won't" R laughed

(Sure)

"So what do you think of being a big brother now for Julie's twins?" Lee retorted with another smirk.

------

"You are so in denial," Fajah chuckled dryly.

"It is awesome" Rod smiled, then pinned Lee to the ground onto her back as he kissed her "We'll fuck, or else i'll rape you" he growled seductively

-

"Why don't you go to see Rod?" R sighed

"Go ahead then," Lee growled back as she bit him in the nose and ran her claws down his back.

------

"Okay," Fajah replied as she got up and put on a black robe before she headed out the door.

"OW!" Rod flinched, then smirked as he began to kiss her on the lips while tickling her armpits

"Rod!" Lee cackled as she squirmed and thrashed uncontrollably while shrieking hysterically.

"Hello?" Fajah bellowed as she rapped on the door and Lee's head snapped in the direction of her voice. "Yes? Come in," she hollered back as Fajah opened the door and entered. "We need to talk."

"Whati s it?" Rod asked

"Rod," Fajah began as she moved closer to the couple and looked at them straight in the eye. "I really need to get something off my chest." She then exhaled heavily and took a deep breath before continuing to speak. "I need to inform you that there might be a chance that I might have feelings for you. Also, I'm afraid that I may be pregnant with your child."

"What? How can you be so sure, Fajah? You haven't been here for a full day!" Lee shot back fiercely as she bolted upright.

"R told me so, but I don't believe him for a second. I don't think I would be able to conceive for another couple of weeks, months maybe," Fajah answered with a incredulous scoff.

"Well, that's ood" Rod smiled

"Why is it odd?" Fajah frowned worriedly.

"I meant good, sorry" Rod chuckled

(I meant 'good', damn keyboard!)

"It's okay," Fajah replied as she leaned over to kiss him. "I still like you anyway, and I won't mind if you only love me as a stepdaughter."

"If you want, you can be my lover" Rod smiled

"You really want that, Rod?" Lee inquired sternly with a suspicious frown.

"Yeah, if she wants so, then she can be it" Rod smiled

"Then it's settled," Fajah declared with a nod as she glanced at Lee, who was somewhat miffed at the idea. "All right then, have it your way," she hissed softly.

"Pelase don't get angry, Lee" Rod whimpered as he hugged Lee

"I know, Rod; it's just that I'm a little wary of having my daughter as your lover, that is all. I hope you take good care of her," Lee replied gently as she glared warningly at Fajah.

"Don't worry, i will" Rod smiled

"Are either of you guys hungry?" Fajah quipped as Lee nodded. "Well, I am," she answered as she turned to Rod. "How about you, darling?"

"A bit" Rod laughed

"Good; let's grab a bite to eat," Fajah smiled as she led the couple out of the bathroom and the trio strolled through the hallways towards the kitchen.

"Okay" Rod nodded

Meanwhile, in the downstairs living room, Pleakley was busy watching television with Yaarp, Digger, Mr. Stenchy, Belle and Woops by his side. The vice president, Joseph Kremlin, was standing next to President Makarov as he was delivering a speech before a swarm of reporters.

"I am here tonight to announce that the United States president has made an important decision. From this day forward, the U.S. will be officially balkanized and will be split into several different regions. Each region will have their own sovereignty and the American government would still oversee their authority. However, these newly defined regions now have the power to make their own laws and regulations as they see fit and are now in charge of the residents that abide in their home states. For example, California and Baja California will now be split into two separate states as well as Northern and Southern California. They, along with Oregon, Nevada, and Utah, will be forever known as the Northern Pacific Region, with Texas and many other Southern states declared to be the Southern Confederacy; the Northern region would be now known as the Central Union, the East Coast will be referred to as the Atlantic East and the West Coast will be referred to as the Western Pacific Region. The Midwest will be called the Heartlands."
