Chapter 24 - Xander's Problems

Xander Goth was a man with a problem. Well, two problems...


On the one hand, the vivacious Morgan...

They'd been going out for over a month now. After a certain point, it had just made sense for her to move her stuff in from across the hall. She was there all the time anyway, so why pay an extra rent?


They still went out most evenings. She liked going to the museum to look at the paintings.


She said they were some of the best dates she'd ever been on, really.

On the other hand, the mysterious Lilith...

Xander couldn't believe she'd never done karaoke before... but at least her singing voice was better than his.


Spending his nights with her was great.

Honestly, he thought to himself, the biggest problem with dividing his time between beautiful women was he wasn't getting a lot of sleep. Still, he thought he was getting the hang of it...


Still, he felt a little guilty that, with Morgan coming down with a stomach bug, he could get a little more rest. She'd been sick almost every morning for a few days now.

"Xander," Morgan said. "Umm... We need to talk."


"Are you feeling any better?" he asked.

"Well, that's the thing," Morgan said. "I went down to the pharmacy and got a test and..."

"They have flu tests?" Xander looked confused.

"No dummy," Morgan grinned. "Pregnancy tests. I'm pregnant!"


"What? Wait... what? Oh my GOD! You're pregnant? That's... wow!"

"Are you... OK with this?" Morgan asked.

"Yeah," Xander smiled slowly. "Yeah, I am..."


"... but what are we going to tell Lilith"

"We tell her the good news!"


"Darling, that's wonderful!" Lilith laughed. "I'm so happy for you both. I know Xander will do the right thing."


"Yeah... about that," Xander said. "Uhhh... Morgan... "


Later, after an exhausted Morgan had gone to bed...

"I guess," Xander started. "Well, I hope we can still be friends."


"Xander, dear, don't be absurd," Lilith purred. "Your nights still belong to me."
