It has been two months since the party and Mathias had been throwing up none stop for the past three weeks.

Funnily enough that only happened in the morning, very early in the morning. Today was no exception. Mathias bolted upright having a quick look at the clock which read 3.30AM before racing to the bathroom and making it to the toilet just in time.

'Dear god. What is wrong with me? Maybe I should go see Doctor Jensen and ask her what's wrong.' he thought as the bile kept exiting his throat leaving a disgusting bitter taste in his mouth.

Once Mathias had finished throwing up what felt like his entire insides he took his phone and dialled Doctor Jensen's number. When she answered Mathias said "Ah hello Doctor Jensen. Could I make and appointment with you as soon as possible?" "But of course. How does today sound at 4:00PM?" "That would be great. I'll see you then."

After hanging up Mathias felt quite a bit dizzy so he decided to take a walk as it was only 1:30PM two and a half hours before his appointment. He took his coat and left the house. It was a sunny April afternoon. Mathias took deep breaths in and out hoping that his dizziness would disappear.

But sadly it got worse and worse as he walked towards the park where he usually met up with his four closest friends which he saw happened to be there.

Just as he walked across the sandpit he staggered and lost consciousness falling in the sand. Luckily Tino had spotted Mathias and ran up to him and tried to shake him but nothing seemed to work. Berwald, Lukas and Emil also ran over now and were puzzled and at a complete loss for what to do.

Tino got everyone out if their panic attack by shouting "Everybody shut up. We're not helping Mathias by panicking now. Let's get him in the shade and Ber. Could you get Mathias water." "Of course. I'll be right back."

Berwald ran to the van that was parked just in front the playground and got two ice cold waters and a towel and raced back to where Lukas put his jacket under Mathias head and Emil was fanning his face.

"Stand back everyone. I know how to wake him up." Berwald said and poured the first bottle of water of Mathias who woke up with a start and spluttered "Wh-what's going on?" "We should ask you the exact same thing. You fainted in the sandpit without warning. And before you say a single thing you are staying here before you faint again." said Lukas strictly.

"But I have an important appointment at 4:00PM." Mathias tried to reason with Lukas. "But nothing you stay here until we being you to your important appointment." "NO. I-I mean...you don't have to trouble yourselves really."

"Is there something that you are not telling us Mathias?" Emil asked raising his eyebrow. "I-I...uhhhhhhhhh. No." "Mathias. "You can't fool anyone especially us." said Berwald.

"Well. To be honest I don't know until I went to that appointment. But the more I think of it the more scared I get." confessed Mathias.

Do you want one of us to go with you?" Tino as led putting his arm around Mathias who answered "Could you all bring me there.?" "Of course. And which one of us should go inside with you?" "Could you come with me Berwald"

Berwald thought about it for a second bit then found that he couldn't abandon his best friend and said "Of course I will. We are best friends since we both can remember. And anyway. Best friends stick through everything no matter what." said Berwald opening his arms and beckoning Mathias to him for a hug which the sensitive Dane gladly excepted before taking the cool water in his best friends hand.

After looking at his watch an realising he only had half an hour to get to his appointment Mathias started panicking slightly and pulled everyone to Berwalds minivan. Mathias and Berwald sat in the front with Mathias giving directions. And Tino was sitting in the back between Lukas and Emil. Everyone was a little tense.

When they arrived Berwald gave the key to Tino and said "You all have your cellphones with you. I'll call one of you when we're done ok?" "Sure Berwald. Good luck Mathias." said Tino dragging Emil and Lukas along with him.

Berwald sat with Mathias in the waiting room with twenty minutes to spare. Looking at his usually loud and obnoxious best friend, Berwald felt funny. In the sence that his heart was racing whenever he looked at Mathias. How he longed for Mathias lips to be on his own. But in the end Berwald knew that if Mathias would some day fall in love with someone else then Berwald would be happy for him because of course he just wants the best for Mathias. Whatever this was Berwald would help his best friend through this no matter what.

His train of thought was interrupted as Doctor Jensen called Mathias name. Mathias face turned pale at that and he unintentionally grabbed Berwalds hand and together the two made their way into Doctor Jensen's office.

Every single instrument you could think of was standing in that room. Doctor Jensen motioned for Mathias to lay down on the long table before saying "Before I decide to run some tests on you let's start with a few questions and a simple ultrasound. Alright?" Mathias nodded weakly at that and Doctor Jensen started the questions.

"Did you experience any dizziness in the past weeks?" "Yes but it always occurred in the morning. I would vomit violently very early before 6:00AM but then it's alright for the rest of the day."

"Ok. And did you feel fatigued or dizzy at any point?" "Since the vomiting started I've been sleeping more than usual. As for the dizziness..." "He fainted today right in front of me and three of our closest friends." Berwald said cutting Mathias off mid sentence.

"Interesting. I have two last questions before we do the ultrasound. One: Did you experience any weight gain? And two: When were you sexually active the last time?"

At those questions Mathias stopped and thought for a minute. True. Recently his favourite shirts and trousers had become increasingly tight. Then it hit him and he thought 'Oh no. Don't panic Mathias. Wait for the ultrasound and then panic.' while grabbing Berwalds hand tightly.

Doctor Jensen didn't need to ask further questions as she had seen reactions like that many times before. "Please lift your shirts Mathias and let's get started shall we?"

Mathias flinched as Doctor Jensen put cold gel on his slightly swollen stomach. Then he jumped when a fairly loud sound rang through the room. "Don't worry that's just the heartbeat of your baby. Congratulations Mathias. You are expecting twins. You're two months along."

At that moment Mathias world shattered around him. How the hell was he supposed to care for one baby let alone two? How would Jan react to the news that their drunk/high one-night-stand resulted in twins?

Tears began to stream down his face and Berwald pulled Mathias close to him and buried his head i his chest and felt heartbroken as his secret love of his life was sobbing uncontrollably into his chest.

Doctor Jensen turned to Berwald and said "I would suggest that you take him home and let him rest. This is quite a shock for him. Let him sleep it off and then decide tomorrow what you are going to do next." "I will. Thank you for letting us know what's wrong with him." "Don't worry. That's my job. Here's my card with my number on it. I want Mathias to come for regular checkups."

Taking the card and Mathias, who had succeeded in crying himself to sleep, in his arms and walked towards his van. After putting Mathias in his seat and taking out his cellphone he called Tino. "Hey Ber. What took you so long? Are you at the car already?" "It's a long story and yes we are at the car. We need to get Mathias home and to bed." "Why? Is something wrong?" "I'll tell you guys everything at home." "We'll be right there."

The ride home was very peaceful. Berwald was gently stroking Mathias hair while keeping his eyes on the road. Once they got to Mathias house Berwald brought Mathias straight to his bed and went back downstairs to explain everything to Tino, Lukas and Emil.

"So what's wrong with Mathias?" asked Tino worried about his friend. "Well. He is two months pregnant with twins. Two months. Do you know what that means?"

"Jan knocked him up." Lukas shouted earning several weird looks from Emil and Berwald.

"Didn't you see Jan drag Mathias upstairs at Gilbert's party. I bet they slept with each other. That's the only explanation for Mathias and his pregnancy." "But how should Jan be told?" asked Lukas

"I think Mathias should do that himself. It's his pregnancy and his responsibility." Berwald said. "Let's wait until the next meeting in a month and the see what happens then." Emil said. Thus it was decided to wait until then and take care of their unusually sensitive friend.
