It had been a month since Koda found out he was pregnant, which still blew his mind, and he was starting to show. On month two of their nine month adventure, someone was bound to notice. It was time to tell the family.

That's why Koda had them all sat down in their white living room. He was just about to start speaking when Spike rudely interrupted.

"Geez Koda, ya got a little pot belly going on there. At least we know Romi feeds you."

Koda shook off the comment and took a couple deep breaths. Romi stood next to him, rubbing his hand soothingly over the boy's back.

"I-I-I'm... I can't do it," Koda stuttered. He turned to bury his face in Romi's chest, subconsciously hiding himself from his family's gaze. Romi wrapped his arms lovingly around the boy and took the burden of telling everyone in the room upon himself.

"This is going to sound ridiculous and crazy, but I assure you we are not kidding. Koda... Koda is pregnant. The doctors cannot figure out how it happened. That "pot belly", Spike, is the baby," Romi explained.

The room was quiet. Not a single word was uttered, fearing they would be the first to break the silence. All the faces, Maralynn, Mika, Spike, Ringo, and Lina, were void of feeling. But on the inside, their emotions were raging in a battle. Only one person was absolutely sure what they were feeling. Maralynn.

"Sweety, that's great news! You're going to be a dad! I'm going to be a grandm--- Holy smokes, I'm gonna be a grandma! We should be celebrating, not looking like someone just died! C'mon honey, let's go make some celebratory hot cocoa, huh?" His mother was so sweet and open minded. She didn't care what society would think, she only thought of the good of her children. If Koda thought that this was what's best for him, then she would be happy. She led him to the kitchen with a warm smile, rubbing her son's back.

Romi, though, stayed behind with a look of warning on his face.

"Listen, I don't care what any of you think, honestly. But Koda does. And whether you think it's good or bad, we're keeping it. All of you will do everything you can to make him feel like it's okay. You will not, I repeat, will not make Koda feel like you disapprove. I'm not saying lie to him, just keep your opinions to yourself, capiche?" Everyone nodded at Romi's threatening tone. Romi was usually a laid back guy, but when it came to Koda, he would do anything to protect him, even if it was out of character.

"I think it's unique! Koda is a new medical mystery! He's the first of his kind... No, that makes him sound like a different species.. He's just, kyaaa! It's like a real life fanfiction! OMG!" Mika ranted. Romi almost laughed at her reaction. He expected something like that from her.

"I think it's pretty fucked up, but hey, who am I to judge?" Spike stated. Romi nodded and looked at the last two people in the room.

"I-I guess it's alright by me. I mean, it's not my decision and if that's what he wants, then I guess I don't care," Ringo muttered truthfully. Now it was Lina's turn to tell how she felt.

But instead of doing what Romi expected, Lina frowned and shook her head. Romi didn't understand. Lina had always been kind and accepted others. He wondered what happened. Whatever the reason was, it didn't keep him from feeling relieved that everyone but her was so accepting.

Koda and Maralynn re-entered the room, each of them holding a mug of warm cocoa.

"So, Koda, got any more secrets you wanna tell us? Living with a leprechaun? Got a unicorn out back?" Spike joked.

"Ha ha, you're very funny," Koda teased sarcastically.

"Oh my gosh, Koda, we have to throw you a baby shower!" Mika squealed. "It'll be so much fun! There'll be cake, and balloons, and pink stuff (or blue depending on), and we'll talk about boys and who's the cutest, and-- AH! It's going to be so much fun!!"

Romi chuckled while Koda face- palmed himself. Mika was so eccentric.

Something dawned on Spike, then, which he voiced. "What if the press gets ahold of this story? You remember how much People magazine shit themselves when they found out you guys got married? Now it's March and they've finally died down with that story, and you're feeding them more."

"Our fans don't care what we do, they care about our music. And I bet people will like this. I'll either inspire them, or won't affect them," Romi countered. Spike huffed.

"Koda, we're going shopping, right now. Let's go to the mall in New York! Have you seen it there? It's so nice. Mommy, you come too! Lina and Ringo c'mon! You guys too!" Mika exclaimed, dragging Koda to the door. "Your baby is going to be the most spoiled child in the world by Auntie Mika!"

"What? Wait, no! Romi, save me!"

Romi smiled and told him, "Sorry, Cuppycake, me and Spike are going to get a crib and set up some of the baby's room, right Spike?"

"Ugh, I gueeess," Spike groaned with a smile.

Being a pregnant man wasn't so bad. He was surrounded by family and people that loved him. People that would accept him no matter what. As he looked around, Koda realized he had made the right decision, no matter what other people thought or told him. His family was happy for him and that was all that mattered.
