[/size]Artemis stared down at her hands as she sat on the bed in her room at the mansion. She was definitely at a loss as to what she was going to do about this whole....baby...thing. There was no way in hell she could take care of a child, especially not by herself. Furthermore, Artemis was just not cut out to be a mother. She simply was not the maternal type. She had never cared for the pups that the other women in her pack had, had never been one of the girls to crowd around and demand a turn at holding the newborns. No, she had always been the one at the way back of the group, one hand on her face, as if physically hurt from the mere presence of the screaming, smelly thing. No, Art had never intended to have children of her own. Heck, she never really even intended to date anyone. She'd be perfectly happy to just float along, from man to man, with no pesky attachments, no titles, like 'wife', 'girlfriend', or 'ex' to be concerned with. In short, this was basically the last thing Artemis had ever dreamed of. And yet, here the issue was, staring her right in the face. It was something she had no choice but to pay attention to, now that it was real and certain.
Of course, Artemis had not told anyone. She could barely accept it herself, why bring anyone else into the matter? Besides, Artemis was such a loner that she couldn't think of anyone that she would have wanted to tell even if her life depended upon it. She really couldn't handle all this....it was stressing her out completely. She hadn't been out to hunt in days, had barely spoken a word to anyone since finding out. Sure, they were worried, but it wasn't odd for their pack alpha to get a little moody, they simply accepted it. Artemis half wished someone would look her way and ask her, honestly, what was on her mind. It really would be a relief just to get this all off of her chest. However, the whole issue of who's the father came into play as well, a fact that Art was ashamed of not knowing. She had known she was a slut of sorts before, sure, jumping from guy to guy....but now, to not even be able to narrow down the playing field beyond about five guys, she felt like a complete and total whore. Truth be told, the feelings probably weren't that far from what she really was. Regardless of how this all all turned out, she needed to get her act together.
Artemis knew for a fact that she had slept with five guys since her last cycle. That meant that the father of this baby was, presumably, one of these five guys. Of those five, four of them were pack males who had sex with Artemis pretty regularly. Two of them had steady girlfriends, one had a wife...it didn't really matter. Artemis did it because it felt good, and the males did it because she made them feel powerful and amazing. She was pretty sure it couldn't have happened with any of the pack males, as she had been sober for those encounters and nothing out of the ordinary had really happened. However, the fifth case was a little bit different. She had been out in Elya one night, lonely, depressed, and drunk, chatting with a random male at the local bar. She had felt a strong attraction between them, well, strong enough that she wanted to have sex with him, and, him also having been drunk, they went with it. Neither of them knew what species the other was, and neither asked. Artemis had been too drunk to remember much of it, and she thought the male had probably suffered the same amnesia. The only thing that she could remember was that it had been incredible.
So, she needed to find this guy. She knew he was blond, she remembered that much. Light eyes, pretty pale as well. Muscular though, and strong...he had picked Artemis up and carried her into the abandoned room where they had done the deed. She would guess he had to be around six feet, not incredibly tall, but may a good ten inches above her own five foot three inches. She had nothing much else to go on, other than he was not a werewolf. She decided that the best plan of action would be to retrace her steps: reenact the night that it had happened.. So, tonight, a Friday night, as their last meeting had been, Artemis was headed to Elya, hoping that she would see him. Her mood was a bit dampened tonight, because of the reeling that her mind was doing, so she didn't dress quite as provocatively as she had last time. Instead, she went with a pair of super-tight black skinny jeans, an embellished black tank top that featured a white leaf on the front, black leather boots with a four inch heels, and her traditional sterling silver crescent moon pendant. She wore the pendant everywhere, claiming that it brought her good luck. It was by far the most valuable thing she owned.
Artemis was ready to go. She brought nothing with her, save a few dollars in her pocket...she didn't really intend to drink tonight. No, she was definitely on a mission of sorts. She took her motorcycle from the garage of the mansion and pushed it out front. Everybody was instructed to never touch her motorcycle, no matter where they were going or if they thought they knew how to handle it. No, if Art learned anyone had touched her bike, she immediately blew up at them. She rode towards Elya, mind preoccupied. She felt sick again, she had been throwing up at random intervals over the past week, probably due to the pregnancy. She shook her head, trying to clear it, and pushed the gas harder. Soon, she arrived at Elya. She rode until she was directly behind the bar and parked her bike along the back of it, where a lot of other people had done the same. Before heading in, she took a deep breath. She was both scared and excited to see if she saw the guy again. Of course, she had no idea what she was going to do if she even saw him here, but, it was the start of something. She had to take some sort of action.
