AN: I am fairly amazed how fast my story progresses! Thank you guys for the reviews! It makes me cry with happiness.
Hiro: Oh man. That's just sappy.
Me: You're sappy when it comes to Gogo!
Tadashi: BURN!
Me and Hiro: Ah! It's a ghost!
Chapter Eleven: Untold
Minho knew that the moment he stepped out of the room, something was very, very wrong.
Leiko and Hiro were outside, Leiko staring at the wall blankly and Hiro hugging her. She looked extremely distraught.
"I'm a mistake?" Leiko questioned. Minho knew at once that she heard the conversation.
Heran ran out of the room and stopped when she sees Leiko. She glanced at Minho confusedly and then realized it.
"Honey," Heran said said. "Look, I'm sorry we never told you, but you're not mistake. We love you very much."
Hiro murmured, "Your mom's right, Gogo. They didn't give up on you, did they?"
Leiko then sobbed into Hiro's shoulder. The three other people looked surprised. Leiko Tomago never cried, or show weakness. But here she was, crying like there's no tomorrow.
"It hurts to know that you were just conceived because your parents thought it was fun!" She yelled. "What? You got drunk too? And Appa, you tried to kill Hiro just because he got me pregnant when you yourself fucking did it too!"
Minho was speechless. He knew it was wrong to react by suffocating Hiro. But he was still Leiko's father. Hiro had no right to take her away."Leiko," Minho whispered. "You're my little girl. I just can't accept the fact that you're all grown up, and got yourself pregnant at such a young age."
"I'm twenty, for God's sake!" Leiko shouted. "I'm fucking graduating this year, and no one cares if I'm fucking pregnant, because that won't stop me from graduating!"
"It's not just that!" Minho replied. "Hiro's still young! He's just sixteen! Barely out of school!"
"I think, you'd want to rephrase that, Mr. Tomago." Hiro said coldly. "I'm third year college, and am graduating next year. Alistair Krei wants me to work for him. I think I can support my family just as well."
Minho stared at Hiro in disbelief. "That doesn't change the fact that you're still a minor!"
"I'm marrying Gogo when I turn twenty!" Hiro argued. "I think you should be even more worried if I tell you I'm not supporting the kid!"
"Don't make this about me!" Leiko butt in. "You're just trying to cover up that I was a mistake! Don't change the subject!"
Minho glared at Hiro and Leiko. "Okay then! Run away with him! Prove to me that you don't need me. I'm your father!"
"And I'm your daughter! But I'm not a little girl anymore." Leiko replied. "I can take care of myself, and Hiro can do so too. We're superheroes, for crying out loud. Appa, I do need you, but you won't always be around. I love you and Omma, but I love Hiro too. And you still didn't explain to me that I was, in fact, your accident."
Heran sighed. "Leiko, your Appa and I love you too. We just didn't want you to commit the same mistake we did. And like you said, the baby is not the mistake. It was the act.
"We didn't tell you because we were afraid of how you will react. We're afraid that we'll lose you. It's not everyday you find out that you were created unintentionally.
"Then this came. You did the same wrongdoing. But the difference? You did it because you were drunk, you didn't know what you were doing. Your father and I knew that it was wrong, yet we still did it. That's what made you better than us, Leiko."
Minho looked at his daughter. "I'm sorry, Leiko, Hiro. I don't have the right to be angry because of what you've done. I'm a damnable hypocrite. I'm just concerned on how you'll raise the baby."
Leiko stood up and hugged her parents. Hiro just sat there, unsure of what to do. Minho gestured for him to come join the group hug. So, Hiro also stood up and joined them.
"I'll support you," Minho said. "I'll help you every step of the way."
Leiko beamed at him. "Thanks, Appa."
After the whole family made up, Hiro excused himself and settled himself outside. He was happy because he finally earned Minho and Heran's approval, but he reckoned that his relationship with them will never be the same.
"Son," Hiro turned his head in surprise. Minho stood there with an apologetic face. "Can we talk? You know, man to man?"
"Uh, sure." Hiro replied.
"You're a good kid. You're good for my daughter," Minho began. "I want you to take care of her. After all, I won't last forever."
"I will."
"That's good to know." Minho replied. "And I'm sorry for, you know, trying to kill you."
Hiro smiled and offered a fist bump. "It's okay Appa. If I was in your place, I'd probably do the same."
The older man returned the smile and fist bumped with him. "Yeah. I guess you would."
Gogo and Heran watched as the two men made up. They were both shaking their heads, smiling.
"Boys."
AN: Don't be confused with Leiko and Gogo. Her name changes in a accordance with the point of view.
I didn't really highlight the whole 'Gogo is a mistake' thing, because it was a random idea and will not make a huge impact in the story's plot.
Next up will be Gogo and Hiro's misadventures in pregnancy, so stay tuned!
