Mason drove me to the hospital and we were currently in the waiting room. "Does it still hurt" Mason asked, letting me rest my head on his shoulder. "Not really... I just feels weird... Maybe I ate something?"
We waited for about 15 minutes until I was seen by a doctor. She was a middle-aged Blissey wearing glasses. I explained what had happened and how something felt different in my stomach. She seemed curious "Well Mr Ryder, you were correct about one thing - Something in your body did change..." Mason looked concerned "What do you mean? What's wrong? What's happenin' to Kai?!" Mason suddenly burst. The doctor remained calm. The next thing she said literally blew me away "...You're pregnant, Congratulations"
I just sat there for a minute... Mason put his hand on mine. After being speechless for a long while I finally spoke "...How?" The doctor answered "Mr Ryder, you are currently infected with a virus known as Pokérus. You may have heard of it - The virus promotes growth and allows Pokémon to become stronger at a quicker rate. It can also have some extra effects: Some of those infected have grown in height, shortened in height, learn moves that they shouldn't be able to - One young Bagon once grew wings before it eventually became a Salamence - But in your case, it has allowed pregnancy and has given you a temporary womb"
I had so many questions but the doctor had more to say "Now there are many certain complications to Male Pregnancy. Firstly, you may wonder how you could possibly give birth without a vagina - There are two options: Firstly, is this is an advanced form of Pokérus then your body will have already been altered to allow you to give birth via the umbilicus - Your belly button. Secondly, if this is a less advanced version of Pokérus then we shall perform a caesarean. However, the latter can be slightly risky if a problem were to occur. We can give you a test at a later date to view what kind of Pokérus you have..."
I nodded. "What about the time leading up to the pregnancy? How long will I have to wait until I'm ready to give birth?" I asked the doctor. She frowned "Unfortunately I can't give an exact estimate for that. I have had the same case before a long time ago with two male Sandslash. Now a regular Sandslash's pregnancy will last for about 8 months and Pokérus can speed up a pregnancy by up to 25%. So I estimated his pregnancy to last for between 6 and 8 months - 7 months if you will. However, because you two are different Pokémon, it is much harder to estimate a time. A regular Feraligatr pregnancy lasts around 9 months, but a regular Machamp pregnancy will last for only 5 months. Also, with the possibility of Pokérus' effect occurring, the pregnancy could last anytime between just under 4 months and 9 months... If you wanted an estimate then I would say between 6 and 7 months but I wouldn't go by that estimate."
"There is one more thing I am uncertain of - Your baby's appearance could be different. It could take features from both of your species "Amazing..." Mason said in awe. "Mason... We're gonna be daddies!" I told Mason excitedly, laughing/crying into his shoulder. The doctor smiled and finished by saying "Myself, the doctors and the nurses at this hospital shall endeavour to help you two through this pregnancy." "Thank you..." I expressed my gratitude. We left, closing the door to the doctor's room and returning home...
...
Mason opened the car door for me and helped me get out of it. "I'm not that pregnant yet Mace!" I laughed, causing him to blush. He looked cute "Naww, my big man's going all soft..." I teased, strumming at a nerve in his system. "Hey! I'm not soft! I'm hard as steel! I managed to get a man preggers!" He burst, causing us both to laugh and nearly fall through the front door!
"If the doctor did her maths right, then there's a chance your belly could be like a Drifblim within the next few weeks!" Mason said, poking at my stomach. "Oi Daddy! I'm trying to grow in here!" I imitated. After all the giggles we started to realise the serious stuff. "I'm gonna have to spend some time off the show... I'll have explain it to the producer later..." I told Mason. Mason seemed concerned about something else however... "I think the public's gonna have to find out about us..." Mason looked down. Mason had be very conscious about the public discovering his secret - Nobody knew that he was gay. "Mace, homosexuality has been long accepted among Pokémon now..." I said, trying to comfort him. He looked back, a little happier "I know... I'm just thinking... What would people say if they knew that The Machampion was gay?" I took hold of his hand "Don't worry baby, the three of us are gonna be ok..."
