"So that's the story…I'm pregnop"siad Brick.

"What!?"What the hell are you talking about!? "siad Mordecai."

"Well…u8221 siad Brick. "we're going to be pregnant. The fetus is your sun."

Mordecai was taken aback, and then affront. Then he was just plain confused. "You've been cheating on me, on us-how do I know this ain't the kid of that fuckin'cat you've been messin'around with?"

"The Doc told me…it's yours…u8221 Brick sighed. "It's your son…or daughter…your little girl…or boy…u8221

Mordecai backed away and put his hand on his fourhead. He ran his hand his face up and down his hand silently in thought and his face twisted into a ammightyious expression brick couldn't exactly read and then into an expression that Brick guessed was upset but Brick couldn't tell.

"Fuck…u8221 Mordecai groaned.

"u8230 ?"asked Brick.

"Just…us…an'a kid…Fuck! That's just…I don't even know…it's just…u8221

Brick began to got scared because Mordecai was babbling and usually when Mordecai babbles bad things happen like he kills people or has a crazy fit. But instead Mordecai through his arms around Brick and Brick was very shocked at this fact.

"It's fuckin'brilliant, man! Brilliant!"Mordecai started crying but not because he was sad but because of sheer psychotic joy. Brick guessed he was probably high but he didn't want to acknowledge it because Mordecai being happy about his prenocy was the best-case scenario. So he did what he always did when he was cornered and lied to himself about it and thought that Mordecai was genuine happy about the situation and because Mordecai was happy, he too was happ. "Shit man, whatt're we gonna name the little punk!?"

Brick half-laughed sheepishly. "I haven't thought about it yet…we don't even know what gender the abey is."

"Oh, pff, off course,"Mordecai siad. "I know, what names we'll use. How about Lester if it's a boy and Agnes if it's a girl?"

Brick pecan to cry too with tears of joy that Mordecai was so enthusausm about raising their son and or daughter together with us. "Oh Mordecai, those are beautiful names. They're perfect."

They held the embrace for quite some time, it could have been ten minutes or ten hours but no one was counting so no one will ever know. Then, Mordecai broke away from the tenderized emberace with his lover, a stern look overtaking his previously enjoyous face.

"What's wrong?"asked Brick because Mordecai looked upset and stern instead of happy like he was five minutes ago.

"We don't have enough money for this…u8221 Mordecai siad cryptically. "We don't have enough cash to raise a kid…to send them off world for college…to give 'em the good wonderfile life they dessert in this dessert hellhole."

"We'll have to really scrape but we can make it work…u8221 siad Brick trying to covince Magpie and himself that every-thing was OK.

"How? By continuin'to do dangerous work like what we do every day killing them bad guys?"Mordecai shouted. "What if one day you came home dead! Then who would raise the kid. You we can't go on like this."

"So what do you think I should do!? No one on Pandora is going to hire a man who is also a mother except maybe as some sort of fetishy M.I.L.F. prostitute and there's no way I'm smelling my body for cash!"Brick yelled back as he fought Mordecai verbally.

"No, no, that's not what I'm sayin'at all. I'd never let you be a porstitute, I'd get too jealous"siad Mordecai stroking his chin-beard in deep thoughts. "I'm just sayin'we can't pay for the babby so we gotta get a little inventive with the spendin'is all."

Brick burst into furious tears he didn't mean to cry but there was just too much emotion going happening at the moment and he couldn't fight the tares any longer! So just like that all his stoicism was shattered like the shell of a hardboiled egg, if the hardboiled egg was made of glass and the egg part inside was full of raw emotions instead of raw egg material. "So what do you want me to do! If you have all the answers!"

"There is…one way we can make this outta alive."Mordecai siad grimy. "But you're not going to like it…u8221 Brick looked at Mordecai and Mordecai looked at him sadly. "You have to lie. You have to tell him it's his."

"You mean…lie?"Brick siad astonished. "Tell Raikou that he child is his?"Brick and Mordecai were used to being lairs when it came to their dangerous jobs but Brick NEVER thought of being so stingy as to lie to a partner! He may be a heavyweight mercenary ready to tear the head off of any living opponent but to lie to a lover was just out of question and against his moral ethics.

"Yes,"siad Mordepie solumly in a mashed voice, "You have to smell him that it's his son and or daughter."

Brick looked unsure "But I want to raise this child with you I want my son and or daughter to know his father and grow up with his father."

"Then break up with him and raise your child with me, after you've secured child support."Siad Mordecai. "This foolproof plan is proofed against any fooling. We'll have enough money to raise our child under he and or she turns eight-teen and is a legal adult. This will work."Mordecai gently harassed his lover's face with his hand. "Trussed me."

"Butt Morfecai"siad Brick in protestant. "it's the only way"siad Mordevai hushedly and Brick listened to his heart and knew this to be the truth.

"So that's the story…I'm pregnop"siad Brick.

Riakou gasped and put his paw over his fanged maw in supperise. "But we used protection!"he gasped in astonishment and surpass.

"Yes but protection flails 1-3% of the time my friend and now I am pregnate"replied Brick with a sigh and a lie as he wove untruths with his voice for Raikou's unknowing feline pointed ears.

"I know but I never excepted it would happen to me in my bed room…u8221 siad raikou purring astonishly with surprise and shock that his protection had fialed and that he had gotten a lover heavy with child.

"it's a very real reality."Brick nodded as he spoke as he was crushed with guilt as he told Raikou the lie that he was the father when in reality the feather of the child was Mordecai.

"Well…I happy four you…four us. This is wonderful, a child between you and me we can raise a family and move off Pandora and live in piece."Raikou smile and kissed Brick pheasantly, putting his tongue in Brick's tongue and having them dance a tango of joy and passion. Brick pulled away awkwardly and shamedly, at the lie he had told his lover, and spit out Raikou's tongue out of his mouth.

"Raikou I…u8221 he began to tell Raikou the news that would break his heart but then he didn't finish. He didn't have the heart to brake up with Raikou even though he had to he just couldn't not now not yet! "Nevermind…I have to go I am sorry…u8221

"But Brick can't you stay for a leetle longer?"Raikou asked giving him a tight embrace.

"Sure ok"siad Brick and he did late into the night with Raikou. 37.
