Chapter 10: Happiness or the Truth?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rei was laying on the bed staring at the ceiling, a huge grin plastered to his face. It had been two weeks since he had gotten pregnant and he was starting to show! That meant Bryan hadn't killed his baby. Rei sat up from the bed, closing his eyes and sighing happily, trying to calm the waves of happiness surging through his body.

He hadn't told Kai that he was beginning to show. He wanted Kai to notice it himself. Although, Rei made it kind of hard seeing as he always wore baggy clothes. Maybe he would tell Kai. That way they could both be happy.

"Hey Rei." he heard from the door. "Are you going to come out of the room, or are you going to hole yourself up in here again?"

Rei smiled as he jumped off the bed and ran to Kai, jumping towards him. Kai easily caught him. He looked at the Neko-Jin questioningly as Rei buried his face in his chest, his body trembling.

"What's wrong Rei?" Kai asked, worried that the Neko-Jin was upset again.

"Guess what!" Rei squealed, his voice slightly muffled by Kai's shirt.

"Well he doesn't sound depressed." Kai thought before saying, "What?"

"I'm starting to show!" Rei squealed again, pulling his face away from Kai's chest.

"W-what?" Kai asked, disbelief clear on his face.

Rei smiled and excitedly grabbed Kai's hand. He lightly placed it on the small bump of his stomach. Rei smiled at Kai's shocked expression.

"I'm going to be a mommy again." Rei whispered, looking down at his stomach. "And that means you're going to be a dad."

Kai smiled at the thought. He was going to be a dad, and Rei was going to be the mom. He leaned down and softly kissed Rei's lips, smiling when Rei kissed him back.

"We should go tell Tala." Rei suggested when he pulled away. "I'm sure he'd like to know."

"Do we really have to?" Kai asked, his face obviously suggesting he didn't want to.

"Yes. He's your best friend." Rei said, crossing his arms and giving Kai a mock glare. "Unless you forgot."

"Fine." Kai sighed, walking to the door defeated. Rei smiled and followed after him. Grabbing his arm, he laid his head on Kai's shoulder, smiled when Kai put his head on top of his.

"So the kit's not dead?" Tala more stated than asked.

Rei shook his head, happy that his baby was alive. He placed his hand over his stomach, just to make sure he wasn't just imagining the small lump there.

"I can't wait until it starts kicking." Rei smiled.

"So how long does a male Neko-Jin pregnancy last exactly?" Tala questioned, looking at the happy Neko-Jin.

"Only three to four months actually." Rei replied. "So you'll be here before you know it." Rei smiled, talking to the growing baby inside of him.

"So he hasn't asked yet?" Tala whispered to Kai when he was sure Rei was distracted.

"No. I think he's completely forgotten about it." Kai answered.

"Yeah. It would be pretty stressful for him if you told him."

Kai sighed. "Yeah. I'm really regretting doing that to him. Causing him that much pain."

"That just shows you do have a heart." Tala said. "Which is kind of a bad thing if you think about it. You're our best hunter. It's not a good thing if you start going soft on us."

"I know." Kai sighed again. "I just wish I didn't do that to him."

"Do what?" Rei asked, hearing the last thing Kai said.

"Nothing Rei." Kai replied, forcing a small. "It's nothing."

"Fine. Don't tell me!" Rei pouted before looking at his stomach. "You see how your daddy treats me? He doesn't tell me anything!"

Kai and Tala laughed at the conversation going on between Rei and the unborn baby.

"I know!" Rei continued. "He does this all the time! He'll talk to Tala and I'll do my best not to listen! But then something one of them says catches my attention and they won't tell me! You'll have to tell him off for me when you get here."

"Wow Rei. I think you've lost it." Tala commented, his laughter calming down slightly.
Kai rolled his eyes, his smile never leaving his face. Rei was an odd one, but at least his smile was worth everything. And now they would be having a baby. The only problem was, what if Rei found out that Kai was the one who murdered his family? Kai frowned at the thought. He didn't want to think about it and he didn't want Rei to find out. He just wanted the Neko-Jin to be happy. And if that meant Rei never knew the truth, then he would make sure Rei never found out. It was selfish of him, but he didn't want to ruin what he had finally gained.
