Chapter 2

Lavi stood outside the infirmary, his mouth open in shock. He had been on his way to visit Allen, but just as he was about to walk in and greet his friend he heard Komui's voice.

"Have you had sexual intercourse recently?" Lavi suddenly became very interested. There was a pause in which the red head assumed Allen nodded his head in affirmation. Then, "Was it with a male or female?"

"Male," Lavi heard Allen reply. The junior bookman hadn't been aware that his friend was even attracted to someone else, let alone having sex.

Lavi continued listening as the conversation went on. "I'm not sure how it happened, but I suspect it has something to do with your Innocence. I believe since you are a parasite type, the Innocence in your body allows for things that would normally be impossible to happen. Does this make sense?"

Lavi stood outside the infirmary, eyes wide and his mouth hanging open. A million things were running through his mind at once. As the shock began to wear off, one thought in particular stood out. As he stepped through the doorway, the red head asked "Who's the father?"


Similar to Lavi, when Allen heard that he was pregnant he was also shocked. He hadn't even known that it was possible! What would Kanda say? Kanda…he wouldn't even be back for at least 3 more months! By the time his dark haired lover came home, he would already be getting fat! What if something happened to Kanda while-

"Who's the father?"

Allen's head snapped to where the voice was coming from. "Lavi! What are you-"

"Who's the father?" Lavi asked again. At first he had been shocked by the news. Now, however, he was feeling rather hurt- something he wasn't supposed to feel at all. Allen was his best friend! They always told each other everything!

The junior bookman watched as the younger exorcist clearly struggled with whether or not to tell him. After a few moments, he seemingly made a decision as he turned bright red and mumbled an incoherent response.

"What was that?" Lavi asked, moving closer to the other teen.

"…Kanda," Allen answered, louder this time.

Two pairs of eyes widened in surprise as both Komui and Lavi stared at Allen.

"Please don't tell anyone! We wanted to keep our relationship a secret and I don't want everyone to find out while he's gone. And I want to try to keep my pregnancy a secret at least until he comes back and I can tell him. Because I don't want him to be the last to know," the young exorcist looked at the others imploringly.

Komui was the first to respond. "I won't tell anyone. Now if you'll excuse me." With that the scientist left, allowing the two friends to talk in private.

Sighing, the red head sat on the edge of Allen's bed. "I wish you would have told me. How long have the two of you been together?"
"I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you, but I was scared. I didn't want you to hate me because I'm gay. We confessed to each other about 7 months ago, and after talking about it, we decided to keep our relationship a secret- at least for the time being."

"It's alright. I understand why you did it. I just wish that you felt like you could tell me these things."

"Okay. I will keep that in mind. You better mean that, too, because I have a feeling that I will really need someone to talk to while he's gone."

Smiling, Lavi leaned over and threw his arms around his friend. "Of course I mean it! Anytime you need to talk, I'll be there."
