((Rock on. Erik likes sex. A LOT.))
"No," *he said.* "Do you seek to make Erik even angrier?"
*But he felt... different. The surge of anger, yes, but there was something else. His nose... He reached up with one hand to meet empty air. He nearly sobbed.*
"It can't be!"
*He whirled around to find a mirror, the baby in his arms forgotten, and witnessed the truth for himself. He rounded back on Megan.*
"WHAT DID YOU DO?"

"I don't know what happened! It just CHANGED, okay?"
Proserpina began to cry, and Megan quickly took her out of his arms.
((Going to class for a while in about 5 minutes. Will be back.))

((Megan, I blame YOU for putting that stupid Pina Colada song in my head ALL DAY.))
*Hardly noticing the lightening of his load, Erik stared at his ravaged face in the mirror.*
"No no no..." *he whispered over and over in horror.*

"Erik, you're shaking. Come here."
Careful to not disrupt the baby in her other arm, she pulled him away from the mirror and sat him down on the chaise.
"Ssh, ssh. It happened so suddenly, it must be some kind of mistake-"
The baby was crying, and Erik was crying, and Megan had Proserpina in one arm and embraced Erik with the other, rocking back and forth slowly.
"We are a family, and I love both of you more than you will ever know."

*It was as if all his worst fears were coming true. He was ugly, with an ugly daughter, and the threat of domesticity brought on by chance and mistake, rather than his single-minded pursuit of Christine.*
"It doesn't matter anymore," *he said dully.* "Erik cannot go back to... this..."

Megan calmed the crying baby and tilted his face to hers.
"I don't care."
She kissed his forehead, his cheeks, his eyelids, making soft tutting noises as she did so.

*With his new familiarity with human contact, he found he could not draw away from Megan's attentions as he might once have done. He kissed her, and received her kisses, like a benediction. And this time, as he quieted, he felt it; a subtle change, a rush of blood, and suddenly his nose prodded hers.*

*Erik squinted at Megan.*
"Erik has a nose," *he said.*

"You do!" Megan exclaimed, sighing with relief and kissing him again. She looked rather hopefully at Proserpina, who looked the same as always, and shrugged.

"You seem relieved," *Erik said crossly.* "Do you now prefer me handsome?"
"No. You can't win," *he said, forestalling her next comment.*

"Well, you're clearly in a better mood, and that's good. And it doesn't matter anyway."
