` Chapter Three

When Rook awoke, Ben wasn't around. Rook knew Ben was most likely in the bathroom. The alien moved off of the bed and stretched a bit, working out some muscle pains. Ben was in the bathroom, knowing his mother had a pregnancy test in her drawer. He had grabbed it and went into the bathroom to take the test and check the results. A few minutes later he stared at the results in shock. How could he be pregnant? He was a guy, not a girl! Yes at one time he had to lay eggs, but...that was different. How could this be possible?

Ben stood up and walked over to the door, not before throwing the object in the trash, opened the door and walked out. He made it to his bedroom door, and opened it. When he was inside, he saw Rook laying on the bed, relaxing. Rook sat up a bit to look at his boyfriend, smiling a bit towards him, but when he saw the look on Ben's face, the smile quickly faded.

"Is something wrong?" Ben took a deep breath and sat down next to Rook, looking down at his feet.

"I'm...I'm pregnant." He murmured to Rook, who's eyes widened slightly at the confession.

"What...h-how is...what do we do?" The question that ran through both their minds was left unanswered for a moment. Ben shrugged at it and looked towards Rook.

"I'm more worried about if you're going to help me out with it or not." Ben spoke, the statement seeming like a question. At hearing the statement, Rook gave Ben a reassuring smile.

"Nothing is going to stop me from helping." Ben smiled back as a relief filled him. He laid his head on Rook's shoulder still smiling.

"I love you, Rook."

"I love you too, Ben."
