Pregnant For Your Birthday! …Wait. WHAT?!
Tsuki was prancing around her room singing 'It's my birthday! It's my birthday!' when Hilary came in, raising a brow at Tsuki. "Tsuki? What are you talking about? You're birthday isn't until next month!"
Tsuki stopped prancing. "Really? I thought so…hmm…then who's birthday is it?" Tsuki furrowed her brows trying to rack her brains for anything that could be hiding in the void of her mind…Nope. She couldn't find anything. Hilary rolled her eyes and walked up to Tsuki's calendar that had a big red circle circled around the date. Tsuki stared at Hilary and then the circle…when did she put that there? Suddenly, realization dawned on her.
"It's your birthday!" Tsuki's eyes brightened as she figured it out. Hilary on the other hand had one of her eyes twitching…it was good to know that her stepsister HAD NO CLUE WHEN CAME TO DATES, NAMES, TIME, AND ALMOST EVERYTHING ELSE!
"You dolt! It's Kai's birthday!"
"Oh…that's right! He's was complaining that his Grandfather threw him a HUGE party just for him and almost everyone is invited to it!"
"Good job." Hilary gave Tsuki a small sarcastic golf clap. Tsuki, not getting the sarcasm, grinned like she won the noble peace prize.
"HURRY UP YOU TWO! WE DON'T WANT TO BE LATE!"
"OKAY!" Yelled, Hilary and Tsuki simultaneously. Tsuki looked at Hilary and smiled mischievously. "I'll race you!" And Tsuki bolted out of the room. Hilary's eyes widened. The baby!
"TSUKI NO! I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD!"
Tsuki stopped, and turned to Hilary. Was she playing a trick on her? Hilary came running out of the room and extended her hand to Tsuki. "Tsuki, you don't want to do that! You'll fall!"
"So? It's not like I haven't fallen before!"
"But it's different!"
"It is?"
Hilary nodded her head vigorously. "Yes! Yes it is!"
"Why?"
"Because…you know…" Hilary gave her a look that said, 'you know what I'm talking about but I can't say it because I'm not supposed to even know' look. Tsuki raised a brow; what was up with her? First her mom, then Aya, and now Hilary. Were they keeping a secret from her? They were acting like she would break if she even put her foot down. Why were they acting so strange? Tsuki shrugged it off and descended down the stairs, really slow because Hilary had a panic-stricken look on her face. Yup. Something was definitely up.

At the party, which was located on one of Voltaire's private lands, Tala watched Kai pace back and forth. He was mumbling incoherent things. Tala caught a few but it didn't make any sense to him. He sighed and turned his head; he raised a brow and smirked. Renée at nine o'clock. Tala straightened himself out and approached her.
"Hey Ren." Spoke Tala in deep husky voice. Renée merely raised a brow and waved him off with her hand. "Oh come on Ren! Don't be like that! What am I supposed to do to get you to understand that my feelings run deeper?!"
Renée rolled her eyes. "Right. They run so deep that you can't even see it." Tala raised her brow. She spoke with a bitter and hateful tone. What was up with that?
"Well, kind of. But Ren! Come on! Give me a chance. Every time I see you, I can't control myself."
"Oh really?" Her tone full of sarcasm. "Then I guess since you can't control yourself you go and let loose?!"
Tala raised a brow. Something was definitely wrong with her. "Ren? What's with the harsh attitude?"
Renée turned and glared at him. "Don't play dumb! I know all about it! Tsuki told her mom who told Aya and Hilary who told me! I can't believe you!" Tala's eyes widened with saucers. What did Tsuki tell her mom, who told Aya and Hilary who told her? Did he know what it was about?
"I-I really don't know what your talking about."
"Right. And I'm actually a man."
"What?!"
Renée rolled her eyes and walked off haughtily; leaving Tala dumbstruck to stare at her back. What did he do now?
-----------
Kai ran a hand through his two-toned hair. He needed to come up with a good excuse as to why he couldn't marry Nikki. One, he could tell his Grandfather that he and Tsuki are back together and that he can no longer go through with the wedding. The downside: his Grandfather wouldn't give a penny's worth of thought. Two, he could run away. Downside: His Grandfather would have the whole military search for him and he just wouldn't be able to live it down…damn his pride.
Kai let out an aggravated sigh. Why couldn't something good happen to him just once?! That's all he's asking! Suddenly, Kai heard Tsuki's distinct voice followed by Hilary screaming for Tsuki to be careful not to trip because it was hazardous! Kai furrowed his brows…hazardous? How can that be hazardous?
"It's your birthday! Happy birthday! Cause it's your birthday! So happy birthday yeah!"
Kai rolled his eyes at Tsuki. What was she on? He smirked at her and wrapped an arm around her waist. He was glad they had finally worked things out. He kissed her temple.
"Kai! My mom's staring at us in a weird way…maybe she doesn't want us to show our affection in public…" Kai rolled his eyes but stopped. Tala came up to them and gave Tsuki a hug. Kai noticed that Tsuki's mom's expression became even more grim and worried. Was something wrong? He turned to Tsuki, she seemed alright…
"Kai! Come here boy!" Kai let out a low groan but complied, leaving Tala and Tsuki to talk amongst them selves.
"Tsuki…what did you tell your mom, that she told Aya and Hilary, who told Renée who is now mad at me!"
Tsuki furrowed her brows. What? Tsuki shrugged her shoulders. "Could you repeat the question? A little slower this time…"
Tala sighed. "What did you tell your mom about me?"
Tsuki furrowed her brows. "Nothing. Why?"
"Are you absolutely sure? You didn't tell her anything that could make Ren angry at me?"
"Nope. Nothing."
Tala let out a sigh. "Then do you know why Ren's mad at me?"
"She is? Did she catch you looking at her ass again? You know she doesn't like that and neither does Kai."
"No…no…not this time. But she's really mad at me."
"Then apologize."
"For what?"
"I don't know. Maybe you did something that you forgot. So go apologize, but make it sound ambiguous…like you know what you did but you really don't."
Tala raised a brow. "You've done this before?"
"All the time. I think I have a memory span of a fish."
Tala let out a chuckle. He wouldn't be surprised about that.
"MARSHALLL!" Tala jumped and watched as Tsuki ran up and gave Marshall a hug. Tala rolled his eyes. If Kai catches that, he'll get extremely jealous…again.
Mrs. Kishuko watched as her daughter hugged the third candidate of, 'who's the father?' She'll have to talk to them, they must know so they know what to expect. Even if Kai plans on taking responsibility they have to know just in case they want to be part of the child's life. Mrs. Kishuko cringed at the thought. Her daughter was only seventeen and already she was going to give birth. The poor thing.
-----------
"How ya been Marshall? Didn't think you'd show up!"
"Yeah…but, it's out of respect. So you and Kai made up yet?"
"Yup! We did, and that means that if Kai doesn't stop the wedding I will have to step in and take it into my own hands."
"Really? How?"
"Well, first: I'll wait 'till the preacher man says: 'does anyone object' and then I'll come barging in saying: 'I DO!' and then I'll figure it out from there."
Marshall let out a chuckle. "So basically you're pulling this out of your ass."
"Yeah, basically. You should ditch the trip too and watch me in action…Actually I want you to video tape it."
Marshall shook his head. "I guess I should, I want to see what you really do."
"Good man. I knew I could count on you." Tsuki patted Marshall's shoulder. "Oh my! Fruit punch!" And with that she was off towards the tables. Marshall shook his head and went to mingle with the people he knew.
Tsuki filled her cup with punch and began to drink.
"Tyson! Where are your manners? Eat properly! People are staring!"
"Wuff Bilwery, Vevveyfings fo sood!"
"Swallow Tyson! Must I also keep tabs on you?"
"Sorry. I said: But Hilary, everything's so good!"
Tsuki laughed at the couple. Hilary looked up and smiled at her step-sister, eyeing the punch. Tsuki raised a brow and looked at her punch as well and then back at Hilary.
"Hil? What are we looking at?"
Hilary snapping out of her trance smiled. "Nothing! That is just punch right? You didn't sneak any alcohol in it right?"
"What? No…but that's not a bad idea…"
"No! Don't!"
Tsuki jumped. "Okay, I won't. Just calm down…okay?"
Tsuki took a sip and turned around and walked off. What was up with that?
-----------
The party had been going on for a while now and Kai couldn't find his girlfriend. How many people did his Grandfather invite anyway? The whole town? Kai nodded in acknowledgement to the people who greeted him while looking for his girlfriend. He spotted her at the punch bowl with Tala and Marshall. Kai glared a bit at Marshall but relaxed. She was his girlfriend again…but he couldn't be too sure. He hastily made his way over.
"Hey." Greeted Kai. The two males responded in the same way. Tsuki smiled at Kai while pouring some more punch into her cup.
"TK, I don't think you ever stopped drinking." Spoke Tala staring as Tsuki took a sip and then poured some more.
"Tsuki, you drink it all and then pour some more." Marshall spoke slowly while watching Tsuki shrug her shoulders.
"I know. But I don't want it to run out."
Kai shook his head.
Mrs. Kishuko saw her opportunity; all of them were together in a group. She hastily made her way over to them. But she wasn't the only one. Aya, Hilary, and Renée walked over to them as well. They knew they shouldn't be talking about Tsuki's pregnancy but the boys had to know.
-----------
"Tsuki!" Aya, Hilary and Renée stared at Mrs. Kishuko who stared at them; they all had yelled at the same exact time. Tsuki stared at all four and turned to the guys with a questioning look, which they returned with a shrug.
"Hey…what's up my friend, siblings, and mom."
The four turned to Tsuki. Mrs. Kishuko took the initiative. She grabbed Tsuki's shoulders and turned her around so they were facing the three suspects.
"Boys. I would like you to know that I am displeased with all of your behavior, especially you Tsuki."
All they guys including Tsuki raised a brow. What was she talking about? All they were doing was talking. Tsuki looked at her mother. "Mom…what are you talking about? And…I'm not a boy…at least I wasn't the last time I checked." Tsuki moved her brows in a joking manner.
Mrs. Kishuko let out a sigh and chose to ignore the last comment. "Sweetie, I know you and I made a silent agreement not to tell anyone especially since Kai's taking responsibility." Mrs. Kishuko smiled at Kai who looked utterly lost. What was he taking responsibility for? The two males turned to Kai with raised brows. Did Kai know what was going on?
"Uh…Mrs. Kishuko, I don't know what you're talking about…" Kai spoke, in a polite manner.
"Same here mom." Spoke Tsuki while taking a sip of her drink and then pouring in some more. Tala was going to stop her but decided against it. He wanted to know if she would finish the whole punch bowl.
"Kai. It's alright. I know."
"You know? What?"
"I know that Tsuki's pregnant with one of you three's child"
And then it happened. For Kai it was like déjà vu. Tsuki spat out her punch, red punch…déjà vu at the three males, mostly on Kai because he was the one who was the outmost front.
"WHAT?! I'M PREGNANT?!"
"WITH ONE OF OUR CHILD?!" Responded Marshall and Tala completely bewildered. When did this happen? Were they drunk?
Mrs. Kishuko looked at her daughter and at the surprised males and then back at Tsuki. "Yes dear, remember we talked about this."
"We did?! When? OH MY GOD! I'M PREGNANT! Kai! Did you hear that?! Did you do this?!"
"WHAT?! NO!"
"OH MY GOD! I WAS RAPED?!"
All the teens, including Mrs. Kishuko looked at Tsuki like she grew an extra head. Wasn't she pregnant?
"Honey, remember that night you came back from making up with Kai? You told me you did things."
"Yeah! We made out 'cause we got back together and I dared him to play 'Twister' with me, which he kicked butt in!"
"Oh my…but honey, what about school and Marshall and Tala and-and how you were pregnant 'a lot'." Questioned Mrs. Kishuko.
Tsuki looked at her mother still in a state of panicked shock. "School? Marshall? Tala? A lot? I thought we were talking about how I'm always confused and who I hung out with…" Tsuki began to ramble, not know what she was saying. She was still on the fact that she was pregnant and she didn't even know about it.
"Oh boy…seems we both got confused dear…" Mrs. Kishuko turned to look at the teens that surrounded her.
"Wait? So Tala never knocked her up?" Asked Renée. "I hope not." Came the reply from Mrs. Kishuko, who looked sternly at Tala. Tala raised his hands in defense. "Nope! I swear I didn't do anything like that!"
"And Marshall?" Asked Aya looking at him with a glare.
"What?! No way! I didn't even touch her!"
"Good." Came the cold reply that came from Kai who was angered by this whole mix up and that he got punch, red punch, again, on his second favorite shirt!
"How about you Kai?" Questioned Hilary who crossed her arms and looked at him in a stern manner, similar to the one that Mrs. Kishuko gave to Tala.
"Hn. That's none of your business."
Gasps were heard and eyes widened in shock. Kai rolled his eyes. Couldn't they handle a joke? "Hn. No. And besides, if we did, I'd have used protection, I'm not stupid!"
Mrs. Kishuko let out a relieved sigh, but not as relieved because Kai didn't give a straight answer.
Tsuki on the other hand wasn't paying attention to the conversation; she was too busy thinking when she could have gotten pregnant? Was she raped? Did she get drunk? Did Kai somehow get her to do it with him the night they made up and she forgot instantly when they started playing 'Twister'? When? When did this happen to her?!
She looked up at the sky and raised her hands towards the reddish-orange sky:
"WHY ME? HAVEN'T YOU FINISHED TORTURING ME YET? HAVEN'T YOU? THIS ISN'T FUNNY! LETTING ME GET PREGNANT AND THEN FORGETTING WHO THE FATHER COULD BE IS NOT FUNNY! IT IS DISGUSTING AND NOT VERY NICE! YOU UNDO THIS RIGHT NOW! YOU HEAR ME?! I AM WAITING!"
Just then, the old couple, the same one who was always there when she did this was there by the punch bowl getting some punch. Tsuki stared at them with a raised brow. Did 'grandpa' invite the whole neighborhood or what? Kai stepped in and smiled at the elderly couple.
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Combs. Sorry about her, she's not feeling well right now."
Mr. and Mrs. Combs stared at him and then at Tsuki who was looking at the sky mumbling 'Why? Why? Why?' Mr. Combs looked at his wife. "Come dear, put down the punch, maybe it's contaminated with her germs…" Kai watched as the elderly couple disappeared into the crowd. He looked at Tsuki and then grabbed hold of her shoulders, turning her to him.
"Snap out of it! You're not pregnant!"
"I'm not?" Asked Tsuki in a small voice
"No you're—yes you are!"
"What?!" Everyone looked at Kai and he looked at them. An idea hit him. He ran towards the front of the crowd. This was perfect.
Tsuki hadn't realized that Kai was gone. "Oh no…I'm pregnant…and I don't know how…Kai we have to keep this on…the down…low…—Kai?" Tsuki looked around her. Where did he…oh no.
"May I have everyone's attention please?!"
So much for keeping in on the down low. She turned to Tala. "What's wrong with him?! He can't tell the whole world I'm pregnant!"
"TK…you're not…" Whispered Tala.
"I'm not…really?! Oh my gosh! This is great news! I'm not pregnant!"
"I have an announcement to make regarding the wedding." Tsuki turned to stare at Kai…what was he announcing?
Kai turned to face Nikki who raised a brow. Did he figure a way out of this?. "Nikki, I'm sorry but…I cheated on you."
There were gasps from everyone including Tsuki. But then she realized it. "Wait? Why am I gasping?" Hilary turned to Tsuki and rolled her eyes and then turned back to Kai.
"Yes. I know. And another thing, the woman I cheated on is pregnant…with my child."
Another round of gasps.
"Shame on him…wait? What am I saying, that's my boyfriend!" Suddenly, everyone turned to face Tsuki. She looked at Hilary and whispered to her: "Did I just say that out loud?" Hilary nodded her head. Wonderful.
"Heh…I'm just kidding. I don't know who he is actually. I just snuck in here because there was punch! Yes! Punch! Mmmm…yum!" Tsuki continued to sip her drink as Kai continued.
"I'm sorry Nikki. But I can no longer marry you." With that, Kai put the microphone down and made his way back to his girlfriend, a smirk plastered on his face as he listened to the people murmur. He's Grandfather would have to call the wedding off now. And just as if he heard him, Voltaire appeared in front of his grandson.
"What is the meaning of this? Tell me she isn't pregnant!"
Kai shrugged his shoulders. "Sorry old man; when one has to marry at such a young age he tends to do things he planned on doing later on." Kai's smirk deepened as he left his Grandfather in a state of shock.
He approached Tsuki who was asking everyone if she really was pregnant or not. Kai rolled his eyes. "Tsuki you are not pregnant. It was a misunderstanding."
"Really? Oh good. Then who's pregnant?"
"NO ONE!"
Tsuki stepped back. "Chill! I was just asking! Gosh!" She turned to Kai. "What is up with them?!" Kai rolled his eyes. Just then, his parents came stampeding up to him.
"Son is it true that you impregnated Tsuki? Was that what you two were doing the other night when you made up?"
"What?! I thought I wasn't pregnant! Kai are you lying to me?!"
Kai turned to Tsuki, his eye twitching violently. "No! You. Are. Not. Pregnant!"
"Oh good…then who…wait…didn't we already have a conversation about this?"
"YES!"
Tsuki stepped back again. Goodness. No need to eat her head off!
