Rain
Comic 728 - Of All People
Author Notes:
Well... for once, she's not wrong... XD
Although I wouldn't go so far as to say this redeems Kellen or anything, it IS pretty satisfying to see Chase sweat like that. I mean, that does confirm Emily's pregnancy status to him, while rendering him unable to contact her without going through his other exes. The guy's kinda screwed at the moment, but it's hard to feel bad for him. XD
By the by, I made an interesting little mistake that I'm surprised nobody caught (or nobody called me out on, at least). Through this whole arc with Rain and Emily visiting Aiken and Kellen, I'd completely forgotten about something. It turns out that Chase actually namedropped Emily to Aiken at one point, and that's never occurred to me (or Aiken) through this trip. Now, one could posit that he might very easily forget about that. At the time, it was a heated moment where Aiken was focused on a lot of other things besides a random common name he couldn't put a face to. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
But because of this revelation, I actually changed the art here. The script is identical, but originally, I was going to just have Aiken walk out of the room. Since rediscovering this old plot point, I decided to keep him in there. After all, memories have a funny way of coming back to people. You can see the gears turning in Aiken's head through this page, even without the dialogue.
But where does THIS bring us, exactly? What will Kellen, Aiken, and/or Chase do with the information they've all just learned in this very brief exchange?
As a final note, this was originally planned to be the last page of the chapter, but I switched the order of some scenes for what I think is a slightly better flow. That means there's just a little more of this chapter. It ends next week, but good news, I don't plan on doing a hiatus this time (maybe next time, but not this time). ^_^

Oh and Chase is still a douche. Not big surprise.
The deep emotional wounds always come from those we love. I can see Rain forgiving Kellen at some future date, but I can't see her ever trusting Kellen again.
ROUND ONE, DING DING
...At least, that's what I thought, until Chase hung up like the arrogant jerk he is.
I'm sure Chase will remain a douche for indefinite time.
Why would he out Rain? Just pure cussedness... or just possibly, he might try to blackmail Emily with the threat. I'm not sure what he might try to force Emily to do, but I'm pretty sure that if this happens it'll be bad.
first step for kellens redemption: completed
I'm interested to see what chase will do now.
All we technically know is that Chase and Kellen were together for two years, and then he dumped her. To fill in the blanks (because although it hasn't been said, it's not really a spoiler), yes, he is a womanizer. The idea is that he was cheating on her probably the whole time. And he no doubt cheated on Emily too. But he left Kellen basically because to him, she wasn't worth keeping around.
I don't know that he'd blackmail someone, but he's certainly not a good person.
I agree, we have seen him being a jerk but he hasn't done anything to indicate that he would blackmail someone.
Still, I'd be more comfortable if he didn't know anything secret about Rain.
